The Republican party lealers at length realized that it requires something more than the ar- plication of their recently resorted-to system of bullying and bragging by turns, to keep under their thumbs the South American mem- bers and the halting Democrats whom they re- garded as their own, body and breeches, for all future time. 4s a consequence, they and their subordinate political wire-pullers of all degrees, were last evening hard at work, but laboring evidently in great trepidatian. Among the most amusing incidents of their movements, was their effort to whistle themselves into the belief that they could make, for Speaker Orr's adoption, the House members of the conference committee, selected, of course, with an eye single to thead- Vancement of the Republican party cause. - The Speaker had not named the Com- mittee,on the part of the House, when the Svar went to press to-day. {7 The New York House of Assembly have passed the bill appropriating $3,300,000 to the State canals.
