Opinions Of the Eastern Press I'm
Regard 10 the S~peakershfp.
NEW YORK, March 10.
The "Tribune's" Washington CORE
spondent on the Speakership says: The
| Republicans say it would be better for the
party, politically, to have Bourbon Black
burn chosen Speaker, especially if it could
be LONE with the aid Of Greenback votes,
but they will prefer to vote for Randall on
public spirited grounds, if necessary, to
sccnre a good Speaker.
According to the latest advices, Randall
! seems TO be losing ground for the Speaker
| ship, and Blackburn to be gaining.
The "Herald's" Washington correspond
! emf gives a table of those Democratic MEM
bers elect who have promised TO vote for
Blackburn. This shows q total OF 96,
while Is Only make a majority of the eau
Gus. Reviewing the table, the correspond
ent says: Randall's I lends have, so far,
put forward no list such as the above, but
they say confidentially they are certain of
DO votes in the caucus. Great stress is be-
ing laid on the fact that Randall is a tee
t~otaller, while Blackburn treats his WISH
tors in true Southern style.
The "World'' comes out strongly in
favor Of Blackburn this morning, declar-
ing that the reelection of Randall would
be in many ways undesirable. 1t says that
with the exception of Morse, Moss and
Fernando Wood, Randall has no followers
whatever among the Northern Democratic
members.
The Tribune says the lobbyists from
the beginning to the end are against Ran
dali, but are not necessarily in favor OF
Blackburn. Its Washington correspond
ent believes that Randall is the strongest
candidate, and that he will be nominated
and elected. for it is a part of the Tilden
programme.
The Times" says the opposition to
Randall is very decided, and is developing
more strength than was anticipated; still,
it does not think Randall can be defeated.

the closed doors Of the Madison avenue
entrance, with such force that in a moment
the outer doors were hurst from their
ulhStS ulu iu5nCu Waiu 4taoiilS
through the lobby, the dense mass OF hu-
man beings was knocked against the inner
barrier with such force that it shook and
cracked. Timbers were hastily placed
against it from the inside, and men planted
firmly against it, in a vain effort to oppose
the force on the opposite side. One charge,
another, and still another from the out
side, and with a great crash the frail par
titiOn was torn from its f~astenings and
burst in. The policemen at the door could
do nothing coward stemming the torrent,
and were being o~verpowered, when from a
distant part of the garden Capt. Williams,
and o squad of a dozen men, rushed to
the rescue. For a moment the crowd held
their own, but the terrible blows of the
clubs rained without mercy on their heads
and bodies, which told at last, and the
mob suddenly fell back, until the lobby
was cleared and the partition replaced.
The police drove the crowd back until all
Madison avenue from Twenty-sixth to
Twenty-seventh street was cleared. Be-
yond these limits they were held in check
by strong bodies Of police until after 2
O'Clock, when they gradually dispersed.

of Congress from Louisiana, reports that the
colored people are leaving that State in

has finally begun, and is creating great
alarm among the planters and landholders

people are selling off everything they own,
and the steamboat landings on the Missis-
sippi are constantly crowded with those
