OUR SPECIAL DESPATCHES. ‘THE CONTEST GETTING HOT—CONSPIRACIES OF BLACK REPUBLICANS—GREELEY IN TRORBLE, ETC. Wasuinatos, Dec. 5, 1855. After enother day's contest for Speaker the parties “Gave retired from the fleld much embittered against each other, Mr. Campbell is ratisfied that he har been cheat- 4 by pretended friends, and Mr. Banks complains of a want of sincerity towerds him, while Mr. Marshall charges that he hav been used as a shuttlecock. Other bickerings and compleimings of the various factions are ‘beard on every hand, and the prospect for a fusion is in- deed slim, Thus stocd parties at the adjournment this evening. Coquetting has been the order of the day. ‘No general caucus of the republicans was held to-night, ‘but the various cliques and factions had their private smectings, not for the purpore of harmonizing, but with » view of planning the defeat of each other. To-morrow ‘Mr, Campbell's vote will fall off, and Mr. Banks will pro- tably run up to eighty, Next Mr, Fuller will be tried in the same way, and then an effort will be made to elect Mr, Pernington. The friend: of Campbell and Banks, Sowtver, will defeat him. The calculation of the most experienced now is that no election will be had for several weeks. A Virginia editor, being introduced to Horace Greeley this evening, in the National Hotel, insulted him with « challenge to fight. One of the correspondents of th New York press interfered, and conquered a peace. MR. CAMPBELL'S CHANCKS POR THE SPEAKPRINIP— ‘HE REASONS WHY HE CANNOT BE ELECTED, ETC. Wasuinaton, Dec. 6, 1855. Shifting and changing bas been the order of the day. ‘On the third ballot for Speaker, Mr. Campbell's friends rallied and ron him up to seventy-five. The next time he received eighty-one, which is the extent, I am satis- Ged, of their strength. It was their object, if possible, to bring the fouthern Know Nothings and anti-Nebrasks Gemecrats to his reecue. But they falled. This snd- den change in Campbell's vote created jconsiders- bie excitement among the lobby members, and lo caused members to give vent to expressions of opinion as to the ultimate complexion of aifairs. It in thought by some that Campbell may, by bard coaxing, Tun up to ninety yoter—all told. He caonet, by auy possibility, be elected—the anti-Nebsarka democrats paremptorily refused to go for wim; the twelfth section ; both together number upwards of sixty votes, The wolf and lamb most lie down together be'ore any practical combination for an election of Speaker con be effected. Thus we are drifting, like the lost mariner at sea, witheut rudder or compass. To- moirow there will be 4 rally on either Banks or Fuller ; but, ns I said in my last despatch, some new man mut be taken who will be unobjectionable to these elemeata, The resolution offered in the Senate to-day by Mr. Adams, to go into an clecticn of officers of the Senate on Monday next, caused considerable excitement among ¢ ewployés about the Senate. D. THE KANSAS DIFFIOULTIES—THE COURSE OF THE GOVERNMENT. Wasmnaton, Dec. 5, 1856 Alt that the administration know of the difficulties in Kanses is this:—Gov. Shannon has telegraphed to the President tor authority to protect the Sheriff of Dougias county in the execution of process. The President re- plied that, on the cecasion arising, he would exercise all the authority which be possesses. As the Sheriff is not 4 United States officer, and could not serve any process under an act of Congress, the taw, the execution of which has been opposed, must have been an act of the Territo- rial Legislature, and the President in such a case has no authority, except that which the acts of Congress confer— to employ the militia of one or more States, and the land apd naval forces of the United States, to suppress insur- rection in any State or Territory, upon proper represen- tation of its Legislature or Governor, The representation ag yet received does not present a case of actual inaur- rection, but only of rict, aud does not, therefore, come under the law. B. APPOINTMENTS. Wasninctox, Dec. 5, 1866. It ts understood that William M, Merrick, of Washing ton, has been appointed to fill the vacancy in the United States Circuit Court of the District of Columbia, and A. G, Seaman re-appointed Superintendent of Public Printing. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. WaAsuixcron, Dee. 4, 1855.

My telegraphic predictions, last evening, na to the pro- cer dings of the House to-day, have been literally verified. ‘The voting bas continued just as it did yesterday, with « slight caving in of the national Americans. Humphrey Mershall bas lost ground, and Banks has gained it, No «ther change cf the programme thus far, and many of the old ones predict a repetition of the present balloting for some days to ccme. Others confidently believe that Banks will be elected to-morrow, while others again re- gard both Campbell and Banks as ‘done for.”’ Mr. Camp- bell ia clearly broken down, and the continued contest for him is but an exhibition of his great tevacity for life, If Campbell, then, who is the Greeley and Seward candidate, be dead, the question is, who will be brought upon the course as the champion of the opposition? Many say Banks will Jead the field, while Pennington’s friends way he alone can unite the heterogeneous elements, These are epeculations which I give for what they are worth— while my advice is, “Wait for the wagon.” ‘The telegraphic despatch which is going the rounds of the frees relative to violence and outrage in Kansas, is believed to be greatly exaggerated with a view of affecting Gencral Whitfield before the House of Representatives. It is thus regarded here, and wouid not have been noticed by your correspondent had not an editorial in the Intelligencer of this morning given importance, and serious import- ance too, to the rumor. The Inlelligencer saya:— ‘We understand that the President oneiet xeseires a tole. graphic despatch from Governor Shanuon, of Kansas, by which * appears that a civil war Is really threatened. the hay ment, 8 feneral govern Secor tarbed Gietriet for the ipsietiee of premetion the peace. Fxtreme, indeed, would be the necessity which could induce the executive to raise the military arm of the federal government against any portion of the people— while the views ofthe Secretary of War on this subject are well known to the country. His position was wel defined while a member of the United States Senate—and although he said of that ‘if sho wanted th y in God’s name, let her leave!’ — yet towards a Territory the question’ would be some- what changed. Iu the latter case the President would be bound by the constitution and the laws of 4 to enforce the Territorial Inwi even at the point of the bayonet. Yet Iam authorized to sey that the President hias not despatched troops to the disturbed district for the purpose of preserving peace, nor will he do s0 until every other remedy fails. The poss? must first be called into requisition, then the militia of the county, and next that of the Territory, all of which must fail to secure order and dphold the law before the sad spectacle will be presented of the army and the people in colliston. Yet, should the necessity be forced upon him, I am as- sured that he will not sbrink trom the responsibility, but will “subdue insurrection’? and execute the law. The North Pacific Exploring Expedition having com- pleted the object for whlch it was sent out, has been re called. It consist of the following veascls, now at San Francisco:—Sloop Vincennes, 20 guns, built in 1826; schooner Fenimore Cooper, 3 guns, purchased in 1862; steamer (third horse, ohn Hancock, 2 guna, built in 860, brig Porpoise, (Iost,) 4 guna, built in 1636, ‘The Vincennes is very tuck out of repair, and te to be laid up. The John Hancock will be retained as a ten- der at the San Francisco yard, and her crew distributed to the different stations. Lieutenant Abbott, ot the Pacific Railroad exploration, has reached Orggon haf Pet eond!.ion. It was sup- ed he mad been captured and murcered by the In- ans. H® numerous friends will be pleased to learn that he anticipates spending the holidays on the Atlan- tie seaboud. E. CORRESPONDENCE OF OTHER JOURNALS.

The Administration and the Next’ Presidency. ‘The wishes of the administration do not acem to be at all regarded by the democracy, or represented im the popular branch of Congress, nor’ are they likely to be much considered in the Senate, The executive has no active vitality at the present time, and it will be utterly defunct by the end of May next. Mr. Pierce is quite eon fident of the nomination, but it seems to be universal conceced that if he is agwiu put upon the course it will be with bo expectation that be can win the race. the cemocrstic party is so demoratived gud distracted that the nomination ‘for 1866 is not so much esred for by the more ragacious and far-reeing of the aspiranta capecially of the younger class. Many of the old fegies ate anxious for it, of course, for it i ‘now or pever” with such men as Buchanan, Cass, &e. But Douglas, and Wee, and Cushing, and Cobb, and Guthrie, and Jeff Davis are not insensivle that the “outs’? of the democratic party exceed the “ims!” in the ratio of twen'y to one; and that while the inferior number woul! «trugyle aeaperately to retain their pleees, the larger number ‘tho want office would be ta. different and lukewarm, tor the reason that they could not expect to support their democratic friends who now enjoy the favor of the government. Hence the proba- nility of the election of an opporition President in 1866 im the first place. and then the oectainty of « democratic triumph four yesrs theresftor, carrying with it, by logl- cal sequence, all the spoils, hy the expulsion ‘of every anti democratic oflicehulder. Looking at the question trom this point of view. it is easy to perceive that the wiser of the Presidential aspirants, who cau afford to have their chances postponed, may readily acquiesce in the cemiration of Pierce, knowing that he stands not the remotest chance of being elected. {Correspondence of the Journal of Commeroe.

The rtate- ment as to the five pieces of cavnon in Leavenworth, is incorrect. A gentleman recently from that place, informs me tbat they have not even one piece of artillery, and rays he is sorry they have not. General Whitfield brings with him, in support of his regular certificate of his election, evidence that he re- ceived 2,226 votes. The committee of the free State party return Gov. Reeder with 2.660 votes, leaving five pre- cincts to be beard from, which would, it was hupposed, ive him 500 votes more. But it is now beliewed that in ore preelacts the polls were not opened at all, and thet no election took place. They were remote from the com: mittee, and distance and the absence of postal facllitios rendered c¢mmunication with them very difficult. The necestary papers were sent by special couriers, and in some places, when they were received the day before the election, the Ar ple having heard that Gov. Reeder had been killed, did not proceed to an election. Therefore, Reeder ¢hows only about four hundied votes more than Whitfield. But balf of the votes polled for the latter were by non resident Missourians a is alleged. ‘The House must soon take up this contested election care syd 1 learn that the friends o° General Whitfield are willing, generally, torend the election back to the ite democratic members are bound, if they cantixtency, to take the same course in this aa in ret aside the “broad return the election In the Kansas Case, the return of tfleld is not supported by ‘the facts of the D.

It ix not to be taken for granted that the veople wil! accept this constitution, for the reson that there is mu jection ‘othe provision for immediate State organtan If Gov. Reeder bad been present in the convention he would have opposed that provision, ax do many of the most diclous and {nfluential meu in the Territory. It w bring the State government into direct and inevitable collision with the Territerial government, and will not tend to hasten the admissim of the State into the Union. This provision was carried in the convention by those men—and they are numerous—who aapire to State and fer etal officer. It is hoped that the constitution will be rejected, and after that the present excitement will be much allayed, and the election for delegate may be con- ducted in an orderly manner. A fight for a land clafm, euch as ix represented to have lately occurred, ix no unusual thing in Kansas. It oc- curs between members of the same party, and may, in the case alluded to, have been aggravated by party hoati- lity between the contestants for the claim. But it can be. at most of a merely local character, and not likely to involve the Territory in a civil war. The whole question requires, however, on the part of Congress, much moceration, in order to avord # general conflagration.

Bo far from being indifferent to this mudject, tt has been one of lively concern to me from the period of enterivg upon the datiea of my office. Finding the means of transportation between Montgomery and Mcbile entirely nate to meet the pubile wants, L endeavored to pince it on a more satisfactory footlog by eflecting an ar ement tn October, 1868, for the em. ployment of an additional daily line of four horee coneh- es on the land pert of the route, with the stipulation that the contractors should furnish vehicles of sufficient capecity to carry all the mail every trip, and that the meen boat employed on the river part should be of ait able sige apd structure tor the reguler performance of the service, and be under the exclurive control ef the con tractors, 50 that no breaches of eouneetion might occur by resncn of apy other person or persone having « righ ty interfere with itt arrivals and departures. fo secure ‘his improvement, additional pay to the amount of $24,- 006 per nium was awarded to the contractors, with the vnderstanding, also, that an extension of their contrac over the succeeding term of four years would be recom mended to Congress—which was accordivgly done and the extension obtained, after considerable opposition ‘Tre difficulties of this route, and my plans for tnproving it, were fe ca spoken of in my fest aanaal report, dated Decerober 1, 1863.
