DEMOCRATIC HOUSE MAJORITY IN
PERIL.-WAsHINGToN, November 16.-
1t is stated here that Congressman Speer,
of Georgia, will follow the example Of
his colleague, DR.. FELTON,, and renounce
his allegiance to the democratic party.
One or two more such deserters will de
stroy the democratic majority in the
House. Speer, like FELTON,, was elected
against the regular democratic nominee
This dropping off and therecent announce
ments Of Mr.. Stephens that he will not
again submit in silence to such DEGREES
as the democratic caucus promulgated
Last session, will go far to discourage dem
ocratic leaders from further attempts to
"wipe out legislation IF the entire
greenback strength, with Stephens, Eel
ton and Speer, should vote with the re-
publicans, it would make the House
tie.

Wheeling Letter,


night. We found the principal hotels
Gro wded with representatives. and
their friends. After two OF three
unsuccessful attempts to get lodg:ug
We were taken In al the Mcclure
House, and slowed away In third
story room, to await the events ofthe
morning. Tuesday morning dawned
bright and clear, and We went down
TO witness the regular "buttonhoie-
ing" to which every member was sub
jected by the applicants for commit
tee clerkships, pages &c.
Eatly in the afternoon, the follow
ing paper wac put in circulation;
The Democratic members OF the
House Of Delegates, and all other
members, who wish to affiliate with
them, are requested to meet in the
Hall OF the House of Delegates at 8
o'clock P. NJ, to nominate candidates
Tor the various Offices to be filed in
said body" During the day IT was
ascertained that there would be three
prominent Candidates before the eau
Gus for speaker, viz: Mofatt of foca-
hontaS Monroe Of Hampshire, and
Pennytacker OF Pendleton. The
Greenbackers seeing thaa the caucus
would be split up, and that they now
had chance TO hold the balance of
power In the caucus, entered at once
and there by elected Mr.. Moffat, who
ls largely tinctured with Greenback-
ism. BY this means the Greenback
els have made themselves lelt in the
House and obtained the chairman
snip OF one or two important com
mittees, which otherwise they could
not have done. Such are the views
OF the Greenhackers as we under
stand them, and their reasons for
entering the caucus, which certainly
ls very reasonable view to be- ia
ken OF he matter by them.
Promptly at 10 o'clock on Wednes.
day, the cl'rk, Mr.. Peytou, ,lled
the House to order, and the Oath
rule which provides that the Oldest
member shall be called to the chair
was read, and explained that the
rule was construed, the oldest in
continued service. Thereupon he
called MIR. Penn ybacker, of Pendle-
ton county to the chair. The chair.
man then announced that the first
business was he election of speak
err. Mr.. Moffat was elected Speak
er; Mr.. Peyton, Clerk; Mr.. Clark,
ergeant-at-Arms, and Mr.. Neeius,
doorkeeper.
The principal topics of interest
seems to be tie County Court, the
School Law and the Road Law. Mr..
Hagans's res o,ution providing for a
Usury Bill is raising considerable in.
tere9t, and no doubt it will be pass
ed, There seems, also, to be a str NO
determi nation to abolish the Coun-
ty Court.
The House is getting settled down
to business, and l think upon the
whole, 1t will prove a judiclous and
profitable session. Hoping that l
may be able to write something more
interesting hereafter, l will close for
this time.
