Hard Bun.—Woe regret that we are without the necessary space in which to republish ex- tracts from recent “ Republican’’ Washington correspendence relative to the prospect of a speedy organization. With one aggord such writers unite in expecting the Democrats to resolve to help to elect Mr. Banks by their direct or indirect co-operation. Some assert that ten or twelve of the Democrats are about to yote for the plurality rule “to elect Mr. Banks,” while others insist that perhaps that number are about to slip quietly out of the hall in order to bring about such a result. To our readers in Washington we need hardly say that such prognostications are evidence that the writers are wholly devoid of common sense, or know that those for whom they write lack ordinary perceptions. To our distant readers we have to say that they may put in their pipes and smoke up all such gammon, at their leisure. If you desire to comprehend why itis we give you such advice, just read attentively the record of yesterday’s proceed- ings; and then ask yourself wher, where, a* how Mr. Banks is to get direct or in”*” support from the Democratic side of th “"*™ er?

The Republican Caucus Last Night was attended by about ninety gentlemen. Mr. Campbell, of Pa., was in the chair, and Messrs. Morgan and Benson acted as secreta- ries. Messrs, Leiter, Grow, Campbell of Obio, Kunkel, Thorington, Norton, Brenton, Mace, Watson, and others, spoke upon various points in the policy of their party, on which much feeling was manifested. The question mainly in issue was, whether their party could with prudence change its attitude in the hall. On coming to vote on that question, it is said that about twenty-five only manifested a disposition tochange it. It is said, finally, to have been voted to stick to Banks ‘till the cows come home. They adjourned shortly after 11 p. m. Clothing and Traveling of Soldiers.— When a person has enlisted in the army of the United States, and is discharged on being appointed an officer and accepting the com- mission, he is wot entitled to traveling pay and allowances provided by the law of Jan- uary 29, 1813, to discharged soldiers, to ena. ble them to reach their residences, nor is he entitled to a commutation, or issue of sol- diers’ clothing, if he be appointed an officer previous to receiving his allowance of clothing.

In the House, yesterday, after we went to press, other gentlemen explained the reasons actuating them in voting on Mr. Thorington’s resolution, viz: Messrs. Purviance, Sherman, Dunn, Fuller of Pa., Stanton, Thorington, Wade, and Washburn of Me Some debate took place between Messrs. Stephens, Zollicoffer, and Richardson, in the course of which the latter took occasion to say that while he believed that, according to the letter of the constitution, Congress had the power to exclude slavery from the territory of the United States, yet that it was unjust and wrong, and in violation of the spirit of that instrument, to do so, as the constitntion was made for the purpose of securing equality among the States and to the people of the whole country, Mr. Faulkner, of Virginia, gave notice of his intention to offer to-day a preamble and resolution setting forth the impraeticability of electing a Speaker on any of the ae arg avowed, and proposing that on Monday next, if no choice be made, each member shall hand in his resignation, and let the people send a new set of Kepresentative. The result of the vote on Mr. Thorington’s resolution was then declared as follows—not Sg ge drag 50, nays 150. The House then proceeded with the one hundred and fifteenth vote for a Speaker, with the following result, viz: Whole number of votes cast, 195; necessary to achoice, 98. Mr. Richardson received 65, Banks 88, Ful- ler of Pa, 29, Pennington 8, scattering 5, So there was no choice. During the call of the roll in this vote, ex- aaa were made by Messrs. Boyce and icQueen, concerning the reasons inducing them of late not to vote for Mr. Richard- son. Both declared that that gentleman’s ex- planation of the day had induced them in to vote for him; and that their colleague, Mr. Keitt, also regarded it as sufficient to justify him in again voting for Mr. R. _ They adjourned at 44 p.m. [Notice was given in the Hall that there would be a caucus of anti-Nebraska members that evening, at 7 p. m., in the Hall.] Proceedings of Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, a resolution was passed providing that when they adjourn to- day a would adjourn over until Monday next. arious petitions were presented and referred. Among them was one presented by Mr. Clayton, praying that the jurors in the District of Columbia may he allowed the same fees as are allowed to other jurors under the act of February 24, 1853. On motion of Mr. Hamlin, the President pro tem. of the Senate was authorized to ap- point the Senate's portion of the joint Com- mittee on Public Printing.
