C., March 15.—The Speaker- ship contest is becoming animated. The leaders of both parties maintain their ‘assurance. 1t is poticed for the first time, however, that Randall admits it would be possible to defeat him with a candidate from south: of the Potomac River. “This is the first coucession to the strength of the opposition Randall bas made. He said to- might that so long as his opponents adhere to Blackburn be bos no fears. Itis very evident, however, that the . opposition to Randall is strong enough, it concentrated, to defeat him, and that Randall knows it. The arrivals of new Coogressmen to-day have not been reaseuring to Randall, and bave con- vinced his managers of ! TIE POSSIBILITY OF DEFEAT. ¥ Itis evident that the contest hangs upon the- delegations from Ubio, Indiana, and Missouri. Both parties claim to have the advantage in all the States. There has never béen a Speakership contest in which Senatocs have taken so active a part. Senators Beck, Vest, aund Wallace are at work every bour of the day, and almost of the night, in support of Blackburn’s caudidacy. The ap- pearance of Wallace, of Pennsylvania, in the field against ‘Raudall i5 a formidable fact for the latter. Senator Vest, of Missouri, is telling the Democratic detegation from that State that he will take the stump azainst every man who works for Randall, and secure . his de- feat for re-election for the Forty-seventh Con- gress, and that Randall 15 NOT THE MAX WANTED by the Democracy west of the Missouri River. It is ssid that there are from twelve to fitteen members who do mot want to vote for either Blackburn or Randall. If asmany votes could be cast for acandidate other than Blackburn or Ran- dull, of course neither of these two could be clected. Rondall’s victory evidently must de- pend upon his strength oa the first ballot. On that ballot he will cast his greatest strength. After that, should he show weakness, 2 consid- crable portion of his strength would immedi- ately o in search of the winning man. Bill Morrison says there is NO CHANCE FOR A DARK HORSE or condpromise candidate; that the race is squarely between Randall and Blackburn, and that, if those who will not vote uuder any cir- cumstances for Randall will rally to Blackburn, the latter can be elccted. Politicians, though, equally as sagacious as Morrison, say now that neither of them will be chosen. AN INVENTION OF TRE ENEMY. ° Randall said to-night that the stories that his camoaign is being conducted on & Tilden basis is an invention of the enemy. * Mr. Tilden,” said Randall, * can’t carry on the campaign of 1SS0 over my chess-board. Inever received a favor from Tilden in my life. The obligation is all the other way."” FERNANDO W0OD said to-night that with New York, Pennsylivania, and Georgia solid for Randall the latter cannot be beaten, but Fernando begs the question. Blackburn men to-night claim the Yammany votes beyond question. ‘There was a meeting of the New York delega- tion this eveoing, but it was not possible to ob- tain definite views. Some of the members were ot present. Randall insists thas New York, however, is solid for him, with the exception of Sam Cox. The Pennsylvania delezation held 3 meeting this evening, all being present except Hendrick B. Wright. The delegation voted solidly to cupport Randall, which will be a great surprisc to Scoator Wallace, who was expected to secure at least three votes for Blackburn. It is & hu- miliating thingifor Wallace to bave cntered the campaizn against, Randall, and not be able to carry a single vote in the delegation. Wright is not expected to attend the Democratic caucus, but will go with the Greenbackers. If Randall wing in the Pennsylvania caucus, be received a set-back in Vircinia. Randolph Tucker has abandoned him, and enters the field actively to- night for Blackburn. THE NEADQUARTERS. A virit to the beadquarters of the rival candi~ dates is the first thing in order for newly-arrived members, Of the two, the liveliest and jolliest place to make a call at is Blackburn’s, and the most business-like in appearance is Randsll’s. At the former there fs a crowd all the time, composed chiefly of Southermers overflowing with enthusiasm and making estimaies of strength every hall-bour, while Blackburn, their candidate, shakes hands with every vis- itor, Congressman or not, and beaws with the smile of hospitality alize upon friend and foe. ‘The smaller room of ihe suite is devoted to con- fidential business. Here may be found either Beck, Morrison, or Hunton, who secm to be Blackburn’s corps commanders, while among his alas are several younger men, not in office now, but REZJUICING DY HOPE. At Randall’s,sflcnce is the role. There {sacon- stant succession of visitors, but they waste no time in words. Randall sits {n s little room, and, one after another, Congressmenifils in, vay their respects, and talk a few minutes ina low tone, and walk out to make room for another of the halt-dozen who are always waiting their turn. Every now and then a scout comes in With a new member, captured at the depot or the hotel desk where he registered. New-comers are not even allowed to take n bath before being compeiled to encounter the drummers of the oppostug candidates. Mr. Randall claims ninety-two votes, divided s follows amang the smes- 5 Cunnecticat .. 3 Delaware. ... b Flonda...."] 8 Georea| .8 Tllinois 3 Indians. 6 Lomsana . 3 Maryland % 3 Missouri Blackburn, on the omer hand, presents to-day the following lis!

Wright, of Pennsylvania, to go into the Democratic caucus. A representative of the Wallace: faction says that ten years ago Wallace and his frienas had made no fight against Mr. Randail for the Speakership, bat that now, owing to the action of Mr. Randall, they were compelled to TAKE SIDE3 AGAINST HIN. Mr. Randall, it iwas said, was not willing to fight for the supremacy with Senator Wallace within the party organization, but was resolved that, if he could not be the supreme dictator of. the Pennsylvania Democracy, the whole party should go to pieces. After he and bis friends were unaple to dictate the nominations for -State officers in the Convention last year, they took no iuterest in the canvass, and _several of his leading [riends now here in Washington working iz bls interest Qid not, it is claimed, take the trouble to vote the Democratic Stats ticket in November last. It was further said that Mr. Randall would be glad if there was no Democratic United States Senator from Penn- sylvania, gnd if be could contlnue permanently to be the only Democratic Representative from Philadelohia it would enbance exceedingly his Influence and prestige. Mr. Randall and his friends were charged with the deliberate purpose to get up DUAL LOCAL AND STATE COMDMITTEES of the party, to send contesting delegations to the State and National Conventions, and to ran two sets of candidates for the Legislature in Philadelphia. - Such lncfics s this, it was de- clared, would give Phitadelphia to the Reoublic- 208 by 30,000 majority, and secure a solid Re- pudlicen delecation in the Legislature,.Mr. Randall being determined to rule or ruin. . It . was said that so well was this understood that not more than two Pernsylvania Dewmocrsile members of the House were reaily for Mr. Randall at heart, although more of them might be constrained to vote for him. Scnator Wallace, himself, in conversation, says that he regretted the concition of adairs, but that it had been forcca upon him, as he could domo less than stand or fall with his friends. He says he considercd the preserva- tion intact of the party orzanization in Tenn- sylvania as of much more lmpommce than ths ‘private ambitions and fortunes of a dozen men tlike Mr. Randall and :himself, and thatwas what he considered NE WAS FIGHTING FOR. He did not think it would benefit the Pennsyl- vania Democracy to iwport the Tilden system of crushing out relentlessly ail opposition to the one-man power. The opponents to Randall say that he Is mak- ing profuse promise’ to doubtful membess, and that he has ulready promised many more Chair- manships than there are committees, and has promised at least thirty members to put them on the Committee on Ways and Means, which consists ot eleven members only. As to the outcome of the Speakership fizht most of the estimates are merely conjectural. Still there are enough members on the ground now to gve the aspect of the canvass a more definite shape. The hostility acafnst Randall is no more pronouaced aud little more formidabla than it was twe years ago, and it was then DISORGANIZED AND DIVIDED IN PREFERENCE betwcen three men; whereas it i3 now under intelligent direction and is concentrated ugon one candidate, who is a man of undoubted abilisy und popularity, It is not so certain, however, that it is finally welded together. Many woo support Blackbiirn have their eyes on somebody else. Some wonid like to vote for McMahon, of Ohio, others for Cox, or New York, others for Carlisle, of Kentucky, and a larrer class than eitber s composed of members who are not so ‘much onposed to Randall that they could wot be won over by a promise that they would be better. treated in the future. Still another class comprisc Southern men like Gen, Joe John- ston, of Virginia, who, while personally prefer- ring Blachburn. doubt the propriety of taking the Speakership Southward. If the opposition were concentrated upon a Northern man of ability aud popularity equal to Blackburn, the anti-Randall movement would TAVE A MCCH BETTER CIANCE of success. So it would also, if o Southern Union man like Carlisle, of Kentucky, were its candidate. It is fairly charged azainst Randall that the most active men in his behalf arc his Chairmen of Committees in the lust Congress.
