the democratic holders of such seats.
A large crowd was attracted to the House
side of the Capitol to-day by the caucus OF
the renublicsn members of the House that
was held to nominate the officers of that
body to be elected on Monday next The
nomination of Mr.. Reed for Speaker was by
no means unexpected by the knowing ones
here. and should not be by the readers of
this correspondence.
It ia said at the Office of the commissioner
of internal revenue TO day that mistake

MIR. Malone of Fairfax county, a brother in.
law of q. g. Marshal Farr, will be appointed
night storekeeper at the same distillery.
Among the congressman who called upon
the President this morning was Mr.. bowden
of Virginia. Mr. Bowden was one of the
few southern republicans who supported Mr..
Julius C;e ,ar Burrows Of KaamaZo, Mich
gan, for Speaker Of the House.
Representative Lodge Of Massachusetts,
having no other way by which to make him
self prominent, has determined to essay the
part of chief South. hster in the House, and
will try to be appointed on the elections
IN mittee, so that he may have opportunity
for displaying his sectionalism by advocating
measures for federal Interference with elec-
lions in the South.
It is understood that the Influence OF the
more conservative republicans in the House
has dissipated the idea Of their radical col.
leagues to attempt to seat certain repubh-
can contestants previous to the organiZa
ton of the House also that the proposed
attempt to so change the rule as to allow
the small republican majority to ride rough
shod over the large democratic minority
will rot be made. and that only euch
changes in the rules will be attempted as
will prevent dead locks aud that such at
tempts will only be made when occasion
therefor shall arise Il is understood that
| such conservative views are the result OF the
knowledge that the next House will be dem.
ocratic.

or who says he had, has done himself any
good among any class OF Richmond repubi-
cans.
