NEWS AND GOSSIP. —_—.—__ Tury Cay Evect at Any Momest —Republi- can-party leaders profess a willingness to elect seme other of their number than Mr. Sherman, yet they declare that they can concentrate the vote of their party upon no other person; insisting, by way of illustration, that though satisfied that Mr. Pennington can at any moment command the sup- port of more than sutticient South American and Anti-Lecompton votes to elect him, if the Repub- licans vote for Lim, that at least sixty of their party will not vote for him, because, forsooth, he was a staunch Whig before joining the Republi- can party. That this excuse is a mere subterfuge to hide the fact that the Republicans will have no Speaker other than a signer of the Helper-book mauifesto, or one whose record proves him to be its endorser. in spirit if not in fact, is proved by their unanimous support of Mr. Sherman, than whom a bitterer Whig politician ere joining the Republican ranks dves not exist.

The discussion was, however, continued informally . Mr. Bayard and Mr. Crittenden argued in favor of ng on with legislative business, and Mr. Trumbull took the opposite ground. In order to bring the question directly hefure the Senzte, Mr. Bayard submitted the following resolution: Resolved, That until notice shall have been re- ceived from the House of Representatives of its nization, the Senate will not proceed to the third reading ef any bill or joint resolution, or the final action on any business requiring the concur- rence of the House of Representatives. Objection being made to the immediate consid- ‘tion of this resolution, it was laid over i under the rule.

Resolved, That the Committee on Territories he instructed to insert iu any bill they may report for the organization of new Territories a clause de- claring it to be the duty of the territorial legisls- ture to enact adequate and sutticient laws for the protection of all kinds of property, as above de- scribed, within the limits of the Territory. and that, upon its feilure or refusal to do 80, itis the mitted duty ef Congress to interpose and pass aws.
