MAKE OIL pNEAK.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 13.-rhc Demo.
| erats arc determined 10 orgnulzo tile House at
the hazard OF revolution. It was Btatctl some
days sncc that, If party cxtGcncy should re-
quirc 1t, Clerk Adams, III makIng up the roll Of
tho new House, would omtt from It tllc cntire
1owa delegation. on the ground tlat tho election
should hare been held In November instead of
IN October. There is now reason to bultcye that
that plan Is being very seriously considered, If
1t has not already been determined upon. Tile
greatest danger which now threatens The Demo.
cratic organization Of the House is TINT, in view
OF the scanty party majority, and of tile very
uncertain element madc up In part Of Grccn-
hackers aud In pnrt Of possible independent
Democrats, tho caucus Democratic nominee
MIGHT NOT suCUERD
1t, obtaining an election before the House. As
tho matter now stands, tho determination of the
election Of Speaker would roally bc within tho
power Of fiye OF sfxindcpendunt Democrats, who
might not chose to uttend the Democratic
Caucus, and who might desire to make their
power felt by castIng their votes as 1ndcpcnd-
ents, ald thus be ablo to make better terms for
themselves In tue composition of the commit
tees. 70
As moro Information ia obtained from the
absent members, 1t seems more probable TINT
the number OF Democrats who might be dis
posed to assutno such independent nttjtu{le IL
considerable, and tlIut the number might rcacl,
the live or sl1 that would bu necessary to
decide The election. Anything, OF COURSE,
that cou!t! tend to cripple tle power OF ts ltt-
tic lsapdtul Of Independents would make the
Democratic Organization moro absolutely GER
tain OF control. II tho 1ino Iowa votes are
omitted from the organization OF the House,
therefore, tho quorum would be reduced to 100,
nt!l, with tho quorum reduced to that number,
Instead OF leaving It at III Or 1I9, tllu Demo-
Gratis would run less danger OF losing tits Or
t.antzatiolt There ia, rs Ia STATED, reason to
be!!cyt that the plan ut first published a. q ru-
tnur fs
NOW hERIousLY CONTEMPLATED,
n!'u tRtt Clerk Admins, when he speaks so cor
tldcnt1y Of Ills owu reelection, dors SO with tic
full knowledge OF the judicial discretion which
TIC Constitution glycs him In the preparation of
the roll OF tic new Congress.
'TsIc Democrats do not consider what tho Stuto
Of Iowa or what country fond Of fair play
might thtnk II, for partisan purposes, Iowa
should bo disfrancl'lscd tn tho organization ot
t!le House, One Of tho special friends Of
blackburn, Southern man, said tonight that,
although llo himself was bitterly opposed to
Rauda!l, lie docs not now doubt Ills recollection.
Southern Representatives aro nut yet ready for
Southern snan for Speaker They fear tllat It
will have sono injurious effect upon tho cam9
palgn In 1850 to hare the House completely
under the control OF Southern cx-Confcdurates,
Rt'1 for this reason they will not .support
DlRckburn's candidacy. Some of the oppo-
ncuts at Randall aro talking of attempting 10
unltc OIL sumo other Southern or Middle State
candidate.
MI. MORRISON, OF ILLINOIS,
III invctcraie Antt.Kandall man at,tl t|rm sun-
porter Of Blackburn, arrived this morning, aud
Jumped at once Into tic thickcat Of Tho tgt for
tho spenkershlp. liosaysnow that tho blackburn
movement will win, just as positively a. l.o said
tho last time that tho sayler moyencu. would
fall. Additions ara hoard from nearly every
hour either personally or bY letter. This morn.
iIiE Casey Young, Of Memphis, wllu has not been
regarded US Randall man, but was rather
disposed TO think it uuwiso to select
4 8outhern Speaker, announced him
self convert to tue new ilca,
anu has taken on hls coat to push the movement
ahead. Randall claims 90 and Blackburn ~.
Whatever may bu said OF the Randall figures,
given With grra. deal OF confidence, the black |
burn men admIt, WITHOUT any zcscsyc, TINT only
u Of their number arc certain, tf,e remaining
being rather doubtful, but With good Blackburn !
