At haif-past 11 another dele- Peon appeared; and Bega bn Dna ot oe e doorstep, H legation from the same seate Was on the scene. It was all about a succes- Sor to Judge Giles. In the first delegation there re eto, gentlemen—Mr.G. M. Venable and | Mr. Sel in Brown. They presented a peti- tion signed by a large number of Maryland law- yers abd merchants of ores that | the ay om be given either Henry Stock- bridge, E. ips, J. Morrison Harris, or George C. Maund.

It is barely possible that ciners may have put in appearance after that A TELEGRAM from Capt. Brown, received by | ies cota after | sanitary o The Speakership Situation To-Day. The contest for the Speakership may be fairly | said to have opened to-day. But two candl- dates are formally in the fleld, and the concen- | tration is upon them, viz: Samuel J. Randall | and J. C. 8. Blackburn. The former is sup- ported mainly by the present organization ot | the House—those anxious to preserve the status quo: Messrs. Atkins, Blount, Cook, Scales, Vance, Forney, Singleton of Miss., Robertson, Gunther, Buckner, ht, in, Wood, Cly- mer, Harris of Va., Sparks of Iil., and Cobb of Indiana, are the more prominent adherents of Mr. Randall, and each of these holds a promi- nent place in the present arrangement of the committees, Per contra, 3 Hooker, El 1s, Hunton, Tucker, Cox, Morrison, House, ‘Brags, Bouck, Springer, McMahon, Ewing, ’ Phelps, Aiken, Evans, Davis of N.C., Chalmers, Min- ning, Casey Young, Clark of Mo., Henkle and others as pi down for ent, are set kburn, or are hostile to the canvass of Mr. Randall. The chance seems to be, there- fore, with the candidate who can exercise the most influence with the new members. Ran dall is undoubtedly (ome handicapped with What might be termed, so far as the committees are concerned, the disadvantage of a made- up set. In the event of his election there are apt to be a few vacancies in the sets. From the southern lly, the places in committees are absorbed by the Ing mem- bers, who will most likely be retained in the event of Randall’s election. For », there are the chairmanships of naval affairs, claims and appropriations, all from Tennessee, pre- senting a r show for the new members, or the old ones from that state. North Carolina i es and Indian affairs, Virginia has elections anda place on the judiciary committee equal to a chairmanship, both held by Mr. Har- ris. The 0] ition say that the only hope of having. rational arran{ ent of the commit- tees 1s to elect a new Speaker and a new cut, shuftle and deal all around. The news from Pe ‘ivania, that four out of oe democrats in that delegation will vote for Blackburn as claimed, is discredited by the | Randall men, Senator Wallace, who is ber’ for Blackburn, leads the defection in that dele- gation. It is said that Randall ts a disturbing element in thelr state politics, and that it 1s of no use to defeat his plans in the state every year if: he can come to Washington and be elected Speaker, gathering up thereby a fresh Jot of ammunition with which to renew his fight in the state. ‘vania all tight and that, uobody ia: ehting sylvania t, Ant nobody ing him but Wallace and the strikers of tne Penne sylvania railroads. Thus it goes. There are bot yet fifty members in the city. When they arrive there will be some chances of making a canvass bordering on accuracy. Until then it ts simply im, je, and the ss of the candidates are the sheerest specu- lation. What Mr. Blaine Said at Richmond. By a strange mistake the telegraph made Senator Blaine, in his reception speech at Rich- mond, seem to compliment Virginia on her he- roie endurance in the rebellion. What Mr. Blaine actually did say was this: i “The heroic effort now being made by Vir- ginia under great discouragement and with exhausted resources, to maintain her pub- lic credit, is enlisting the observation and se- curin; e sympathy of the whole country. Differ Tat from you on some great dog litical issues, Iam heartily with youon other ree ees as asingle republican to an entire audience of democrats, I am free to say that on all matters pertaining tothe ma- terial prosperity and development of Virginia, I would, whenever it is proper, vote as freely as one of your own rs or resentatives. If I know myself | would vote as ly for Vir- Ce) as for Maine, as freely for the south as for New England.” As there appears tobe some misunderstand- ing as to the terms of the bill passed at the last tion of infectious or contagious into the United States, and to establish a national board of health,” we print the full text below with the omitted clauses in italte: Be it enacted, «-c., That there shall be. estab- lished a National Board of seven meinbers, to be Fe henge by the Presi dent, by and with the advice and consentof th : Senate, not more than one of whom shall be inted from apy one state, whose compensa- lon, during the time when Poalany engaged in the Bigeye ripen of their duties act Shall be $10 per diem each and reasonable ex- Lak mage and the Attorney Gene! ively, and the officers so detailed - Kel pomeenea Said board So. io ‘ashington in thirty days after the passage of this rea and in Ws m or elsewhere trom the presi- who is to be chosen by the ments, and shall frame all rules and regulations authorized or pe by this act, and shall make or cause to be made such special exami- nations and in’ ions at any place or places within the United States or at foreign Ports, as they may deem best, to aid in the exe- cation of thi Jects. » Sec. 2, Health shall ol information upon all matters affecting the public health, to advise the several departments of the government, the executives of the several states, and the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, on all —- submitted by them, or whenever exceed one-half the total exponses for any such board or authority: And provided further, That such reports and information as may be required by the National Board of Health shali be furnished by the state boards and quarantine authorities thus aided.) : Sec. 3.
