No Speaksa Yet.—By reference to
r- <mr latest accounts from Washington,
v. it will be seen that no speaker had been
| elected up to the 234 inst. On that
| day Mr. Richardson withdrew, and
;' Mr Orr, of Sonth Carolina, was imne-
' diately pnt in nomination by the Demo~
: eracy. There seems to be no prospect
i whatever of the early organization of
% Congress. Such a condition of affairs
} calls loudly for an amendment of the
i presentCoostitPtioii, so as to take it out
of the hands of trading, unprincipled
- politicians, to stop the wheels of legis-
latioa while they squabble over indivi-
dual interests.

HOUSE.
(Out recordj of the proceedings in the
House on the 9th, published yesterday morn-
ing) was brought up to 11 P. M., at which
hour the House was still in session. From
the reports in the Washington papers, which
came to hand this morning, we compile tbe
following account of the further proceedings
at that sitting :)Pie.
Several motions to adjourn were disagreed
to, and then Mr. Sneed moved that Mr. Orr,
of South Carolina, be invited to preside over
the House until the Speaker is elected.
Mr. Washburn, of Maine, moved that this
resolution be laid on the table. This was
disagreed to—yeas 100, nays 101.
More resolutions to adjourn were made and
disagreed to,
Mr. Paine, of North Carolina, then moved
"that until Saturday next, at 12 o'clock M,
no motion to Speaker shall, before that time
be elected," and on its adoption demanded
the previous question.
Mr. Crow, of Pennsylvania, moved that
the resolution be laid on the table.
The vote being taken, the resolution was
laid on the table—yeas 99, nays 90.
Other motions to adjSurn were disagreed
to, and then Mr. Paine moved that Mr.
Smith, of Alabama, be chosen to preside as
temporary chairman until a Speaker be elec-
ted. This was rejected.
The House, at a quarter past 3 o'clock A
x, resumed the business of voting for Speak-
er when the one hundred and fifth ballot was
had, with the following result. Banks, 88:
Richardson, 63; Fuller, 33; Pennington 6,

ed as follows: Banks 88; Richardson
Fuller 27; Pennington S; scattering 4.
No Choice having been effected, more mo-
tions to adjourn, and various other proposi-

half-past 3 o'clock a. a., the House at last
adjourned to Friday the 11th,-after a contin
uous session of twenty hours and a half.

SENATE
Tbe Senate^ was principally occupied in
the consideration of memorials from officers
complaining of the proceedings of the late
Naval Board, and asking the early interpo-
sition of Congress. The reference of these
papers affprded several members the oppor-
tunity for severe animadversion, not only in
regard to tbe proceedings of thj Board, but
upon the evil result of the hasty legislation
of the last session.
An important resolution was effered by
Mr. Clayton, and adopted, calling upon the
President for a copy of the letter of Lord Rus-
sell, of January, 1853, in which thatgentle-
men, then the Minister of Foreigh Affairs,
declared on behalf of the British Government
that he intended to adhere strictly to the
treaty of 1850, and not to assume any sover-
eignty in Central America.
_ After spending some time in executive ses-
sion, the Senate adjourned to Monday, the

BATTLE IN KANSAS
SEVERAL KILLED AND WOUNDED.
Weston, Mo., Jan. 18.—A battle
was fought last night between the pro
and anti-slavery parties at the town of
Easton, Kansas Territory, and several
persons were killed and wounded on
both sides. It is said that tbe Aboli-
tionists made the first attack. It is
supposed that tbe difficulty grew out of
tbe election of the 15th of December,
and it is feared that the war has again
commenced.

Washington, Jan. 18.—Mr. Qid-

Mr. Cobb said that with tbe Repub-
licans the issne was Banks and disor-

bell, of Ohio, who could have been elec-
ted the other day had all voted on
Thorington's resolution.
Mr. Tappan replied to Mr. Cobb, and
aud that the vote On Thorington's reso-
lution Was not fair, but as the Republi-
cans made a nomination other than
Campbell, the vote for Speaker yester-
day showed that there was not an anti-
Nebraska majority in the House.
Mr. Clingman offered a resolution
providing that nntil a Speaker was elec-
ted the first business each day be to
vote, and no debate be indulged in un-
til this was done; the House not to or-
der a vote a third time on tbe same
day, pending which tbe House adjourn-

Washington, Jan. 19th.—Senate

personal explanations should be in or-
der. Ihis resolution also limited mem-
bers to ten minute speeches j and is not
to be suspended, except by nnanimons
consent of the Honse. The resolution
was adopted, and the House proceeded
to ballot for a Speaker, with the fol-
lowing result. Banks #4; Richardson

bell (of Ohio) 3; scattering 2.
Growth of Abolitionism.—No bet-
ter idea of the rapid growth and devel-
opment of the Abolition feeling at
the North can be bad than from tbe
following simple statement of the Na-
tional Era :
Nine years ago we established the
National Era in Washington, when
John Quincy Adams and Joshua R.
Gidding8 alone in the Honse, not one
in the Senate, represented the prineiple
we ad voce te. To-day, these principles
are defended by fourteen Senators, of
firm purpose and marked ability, a body
strong enough to compel the yeas and
nays upon every important question—
andint' e House, by a body of men
constituting the strongest of the three
parties into which it is divided, and des-
tined to determine its organization.
Politically, our simple aim has been
Prohibition of Slavery in all Federal
Territory, and tbe Redemption of the
Federal Government from the power of
the Slaveliolding Caste. This is the
aim of what are called the Anti-Xebras
ka voters of tbe Couutry. So far as
Congress is concerned, they have done
much in securing in the House of Repre-
sentatives a plurality. They next time
they will secure a majority. Mean
while, they are now concentrating their
forces so as to take possession of the
Federal Government in tbe nest Presi-
dential contest.
This is their aim—this is onr?. And
what we have adhered to so long and
pertinaciously, we shall not now aban-
don.
The R. N, State Convention met
at Austin on the 21st ult., the Hon.
Wm. E. Jones of Comal, in the chair,
and J. H. Hotchins of Travis, acting
as secretary. The following gentlemen
were appointed Presidential Electors
for the State at large : John A. Wilcox
of Bexar, and Robert H. Taylor,
Fannin. For first Congressional Dis-
trict, J. W. Flannegan, of Rusk. For
second Congressional District, Thomas
W. Blake, Leon, Messrs. Simms,
Bastrop, Waddell, of Galveston, Epper-
son of Red River, Whaley of Leon, J.
A. Harrison, of Harrison, and E.
Peck of Travis, were appointed dele
gates to the National Convention. For
Attorney General, Wm. Stadman, of
Rusk. For Treasnrer, Wm. A. Tarlton
of Harrison ; For Comptroller E. S. C
Robertson, of Bell.
The Platform differs very little
from that of the Philadelphia Conven
tion, with the exception of the abolition
of all secrecy, obligations, pass-words,
■signs, grips, <fcc., and a recommendation
to the next National Convention,
modify the Catholic test. There were
53 counties represented; but it seems
old Harris was neither "thar nor tbar
abouts," as her name does not appear
in the list of counties. A gentleman
just from Austin tells us it was a dry
affair, and from the published accounts
we are inclined to that belief.
On Sunday night last, says the
San Antonio Texan, a difficulty occur-
red at the Market Exchange in our city
It seems that one of the city Marshalls,
Mr. Keller, hearing some disturbance
in the house above mentioned, repaifet
to the place and attempted to arrest a
man named Hinds. It seems that Hinds
refused to be arrested and a combat en
sued, during which several shots were
exchanged. Keller finally knocked
down his antagonist with his pistol, and
in turn received a severe wound in the
side from a knife. Keller i« fast recov-
ering; and Hinds after a hearing before
Justice Malloy, was'bound over in the
Sum of|500.
The Test.—The following oaths re-
quired of persons entering the Know-
Nothing order, were recently published
by the Washington Union, and com
mentcd upon at some length by the
Know-Nothing paper of Washington
which, however, did not have the har
dihood to deny that such are the oaths
administered:
That you will not vote for or give
your influence to any man for any office
in the gift of the people, unless he be an
American-born citizen, in favor of Ame-
ricans ruling America, or if he be a Ro-
man Catholic.
"That you Will, when elected or ap-
pointed to an official station conferring
on you the power of doing so. remove
all foreigners, aliens, or Roman Catho-
lics from offica or place, and that yon
will in no case appoint such to any of-
fice or place in your gift."
The Union insists upon the fact that
the above is an infraction of the annexed
clause of the Constitution.
"That no religious test shall ever be
required as a qualification to any office
of public trust under the U. States,"
and "Congress shall make no laws res-
pecting the establishment of religion, or
prohibiting a free exercise thereof."
We take it from the State Times, and
presume of course that there can be no
question in regard to its genuiness.
We would ask our "foreign" friend, the
Washington American, how these oaths
comport with his'assertion that Know-
Nothings lire at liberty to vote for
'foreigners who can read and write."
W* The total amount of treasure
landed at New York during the past
year from California, has been upward
of forty-one and a half millions of dol
lars, of which nearly twenty-nine mil
lions was brought by the mail steamer
via Panama, and nearly thirteen mil-
lions came by the Nicaragua route.
The Anglo French Alliance.—
There are pregnant indications that
entente cordiale between England and
France has lost somewhat both of its
closeness and cordiality, and that if
even the same relations towards each
other are maintained by the two gov-
ernments, there is still a manifest cool-
ing off in the feelings of mutual admi-
ration and unity at first exhibited by
the masses of the countries
The barques Norumbega and 5f. C. Buch-
anan were up at New York for this port, at
the last accounts. The Norumbega had been
frerea t;pfnthe River.^-CtVNe*.
Gold Product or California.—The
amount of gold exported from Califor-
nia during 1855 falls about £4,000,000
short of the export of 1854. The San
Francisco Times, in an article upon the
financial condition and prospects of that
State, explains the several causes that
have led to this diminution. The great
disparity occurred. In the early part of
the year, when, owing to the consterna-
tion created by bank failures, few bills
of exchange were purchased by persons
returning to the Atlantic States, each
one choosing to be his own carricr, and
in this manner no account wub taken of
mnch of the gold that went out of the
country. Again, the country was pretty
well drained of the precious metals du-
ring the latter part of 1854, by the
heavy shipments of a particular banking
house. Not only dnst, but coin was
shipped until, comparatively speaking,
scarcely a dollar was left. As a con-
sequence moderate shipments only could
be made in Ihe early part of the past
year. But the great canse of the re-
duction in shipments is to be found in
the decreased importation of merchan-
dise during 1855, and the consequent
lessened necessity of sending from Calj.
fornia the products of the mines.
