RMANDALL 1148 IT. . #peclal Disyatch lo The Tribune. ‘WasniNaron, D, C., March 16,—Mr. Randall nundoubtedly hos the lead fn the Bpeakership race to-night. Whatover the means employed, hie seems to iave united the Northern Demog- racy in his favor, which, with the votes be fa certnin to have from the Bouth and West, appear to muke his election nssurcd. The Blackburn men bave abaudoned Lopes of ob- taining any votes North of Murslaud, and in that State they now only look fortwo. It had been expected that John Kelly, speaking for Tammany, would give Blackburn three or four votes from New York State. Relidneeis no louger placed upon New York votes at Bluck burn’s headauartors. . Blackburn, however, claims to have made a bresk fn Raudull's strength in the Southern delegations: ! TS MANAGERS assert to-night that they have secured two votes in Georgle. In Ohlo the Blackburnites to-night clolin to hsve mado sccesslons, ond to have se- cured all the delegativn except Yrank Ilued. ‘The situation, however, Is stiil largely speculu- tive. 'Thero are too tuany lies on both sides for acfloite estimntes. The most sigoifieant char- ncteristic of the contest for the last twenty-tour hours has been its increasing scctionallsm, and to this fact Blackburn, if ho Is defeated, will be obliged largely to attribute his defeat. The sectional fssue was ralsed by the Blackburn mep, who-dnsisted that the thne had come for a Southern esndidate. The person sclected, while accoptable by his qualitics of commander- ‘ahip and good-fellowship, and his abilitles asa parliamentarian, to ithe Northern Democrats genorally, united in bimself more DISTINCTLY PRREONAL AND FOLITICAL BOUTI- p. KRN TRBAITY and choracterfstics thaa could lave been found in'most nuy other Southern -maun. The result hus” been a shorp scctional autagonism, and a strlking sign of the times Is that the Northern Democrats, even some who in timces past were not spectal friends of the War for the Union, liave hesitated, and have openly expressed thely doubts s to the propricty of electing a South- crn man - Bpeakor ut this juncture. Looklug beyond the present contest, they bave fnsfsted that it would have an fujurious ¢ffuct upon the party prospects ju 1850 to elect o Southern man for Soeakor, and especially 8o very Southern a u man as Blackburn, TO TIIS BINGLE FACT, if Blackburn is defeated, more than to any other, must bo attributed the faflure of the Southern candidate. The Blackburn men, as if anticipat- ing defeat, are begmning to cast ubout for ren- sons, and freely chiarge to-night that moncy has been used against them, They say that Randall, as the result ot his visit to New York, brought baclk o Jarge amouut of money, and asdert that every man upon whom Tilden could lay his hund is getively jfor Randall, Another predic- tlon the Blackburn men make is,that, if Randall 18 elected, thers will bu o new commitiee ralsed to continue the work of the Potter Committee, und that ooe of the principles uvon which Randalt Is conducting bis candidacy is. to keep up the fraud agitation, und to continue scneas tions! and revolutionary nvestigutions and movements for the sake of advertising Titden aud keoping his mame coustautly before the publie NO BECRET BALLOT, Blackburn's fricnds do not propoze to sabmit to uny double dealing on tho part of Congress- men. It 8 a favonts trick of awbitious and uuserupulous Covgressmien to promlse their votes to both candidates, and to recelve from the candidutes tenders of different commijttee places. Thesceret ballot, which s customary fu cnucus, of course protects the Congressmen from dlscovery, Rival Bpeakersblp can- didates have, however, bLeen known to compare uotes .nfterwards, and to digcover the members guilty of this duplicity, It,would be contrary to the traditions of the caucus to fuslst upon 8 yes und naysecond vote, and it may bo diflicult to securo such a voto, but Blackburn's friends will undoubtedly pre- pare, in caucus, the Virginla or viva voce way, und they will ask, at leaat, that overy mon who desires to voto for Blackburn SIEALL S8 and cast his vote standing, whother the Randall men deaire to 60 vote ornot. This it will be very easy for the Blackburn forces to do, as the Lallot-box [s passed around, and it would take a member nolonger toannounce for whom ho casts s vote thou it would to cast the vote Mself, Both can bo " donu simultaucously, It fs av pressut the Blackburn plan to have this done by hia followers, and the result must necessarl- lyba a great confusion of forces and tremen- dous weukuess of kaces on the partof a certaln nunber of Democrats, who, beyond all doubt, have pledged thelr-votes to bLoth candidates, hoplng to win the favor of each, aud to be pro« teeted from discovery by the secret ballot. lowa.

The attitude of iwo Greenback members from that State upon the Bpeakership question will doubtless fufluenco Mr. Adams largely in solving the problem which is so cruclly sgitating bls soul, 1t lowa should be denfed her representation 8L the organization of the House, which 13 not 1nprobable, there il be bus 373 members en- titled to vote for Speaker and, heuce culy 140 votes will be necessury 1o elect thag otficial, the lowa mombers should be included in Mg, Adams' voll, tv will require 144 membors to eiecy the Speaker.

Mr. Caldwell further ohserved that he was au- thorized to declare that there was ot the slighest foundation for the report that Mr. Blackburn's friends intended to prevent the clectlon of Mr. Randall by the Iloase in the event of the latter'a nomination by the caucus, **This is a strugglo between Mr. Randall and Mr. Blackburn,” sald Mr. Caldwell, “Alltalkofa third man or adark hotsols the purest nonsense.
