Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch.l ~
WASHINGTON. December. livery great
excitement prevails in the hotels and public
places here tonight, consequent upon the
animated contest for the speakership, now
fully argued. .
In addition to the many rumors arising
from the knowledge that the Cabinet ses-
sion held to-day was of 4 more serious
character than any council that has taken
place since the present complications in
South Carolina began, the members OF
! the Cabinet have been unusually rcticent as
to the proceedings: but there are positive
| indications that y feeling is creeping into
the minds of some OF them that the 8 bull
| doing" operations in Columbia arc being
carried too far for the welfare Of the party.
1t is broadly intimated that Mr.. Fish has
sounded the tocsin OF alarm. and halt has
! been thought advisable.
The Government maintains absolute ST.
| lence, and the War Department declines to
say what was the nature OF the latest dis
patches to General Ruger. Among the
/ many reports prevalent here tonight is tho
story that more troops will be sent tc
| South Carolina; while another we'll
grounded impression is that Ruger shall
confine his authority at the capital to the
preservation OF peace. This is said to bt
due to vigorous stand taken by the Secre
tary of State in opposition to the use OF
troops for another purpose. The report
extensively prevails tonight that Dir. Fisl
considers that he could not remain In the
| Cabinet should the orders to the military
commander at Columbia, S. c., go beyond
this.
| 1t is widely remarked that the speaker
ship lies between Randall and Sayler. Inc
| friends of the former thus far muster in grea
number, but as yet comparatively few mem
bers OF Congress, have arrived. saylerS
friends are very confident that there vii
| he a majority for him in the caucus to bt
held tomorrow night, though 1t appears
now that Morrison, of Illinois, is the only
man who will 60 into the caucus with
united delegation. All the candidates
however, are confident, as candidates
usually are. $780,. -. 80.
Adyices received here to-day from Talla'
hassee are cheering to the, Democrats. Sena
tor Conover, who is here tonight, says
Baker county is undoubtedly Democratic
and that will elect Tilden. $3.50 ....
There are no plans perfected by the Demo,
Gratis regarding the course to be pursued
upon the assembling Of Congress for the
purpose of presenting to the country o
powerful and vigorous opposition to the the, at.
tempt of the Radical party TO- usurp the
rights OF the people. ,s s....r ~:
There is no doubt that the committees
composed Of the most sagacious men in the
House, with both parties represented, will
1 go South on important official mission with
In week after the House is organized.
