CAMPBRLL—A BALLY FOR Wasnixatox, Deo. 7, 1855. ‘The sunouneement made by Mr. Campbell to-day of “the withdrawal of his name as a candidate for Speaker, ‘after the second ballot, created most intense excitement and it was some time before order could be restored. ‘The universal expression of opinion by members was, ‘This will decide the question.” But they are just as much in the dark now as before, There will be a despe rate effort made for Banks to morrow, but I am inclined to think without success, Fuller's frients refusing to support him, owing, ss they allege. to his connection with Rockwell. He will, notwithstanding, rum up to ninety votes. I understand there isa scheme on foot to elect Fuller, a portion of the administration members intimating that they will support bim, believing him sound on the Kansas question, and that the committee will be con- etructed in a manner perfectly satisfactory to them, Immediately after convening the Senate to-day, they arent into Executive Session to act om some appoint- mente sent in by the l'resident, The following are some ‘of them —Dunlop and Merrick, Judges of the Distriet Court of this district; Blake, Commissioner of Public Bulldings; Seaman, Superintendent of Public Printing; Latham, Collector of the Port of San Francisco; together ‘with quice a batch of unimportant appointments. Mr, Chapman, delegate from Nebraska, arrived this evening, with his cectificate a election from Governor Taard.

Wasmincton, Dec, 7, 1865. All sorts of intrigues for the Speakership are on foot to-night. Banks can count almost noses enough to elect him, but not quite. A meeting of the Americans was called last night— thirty attended. Walker, of Alabama, offered resolu- tion erdorsing the twelfth section and all the slavery policy, Etheridge, of Tennessee, was the first to oppose it, eaying he was willing the Northern men should have & spot to breathe on as well as Southern. Paine, of North Carolina, opposed it also. Havers, of New York, doubted its expediency. Walker then flared up, and said he should reserve to himself the right to publish the resolu- tions, with the fact that they were presented to an Amo- rican meeting and rejected. Paine and others denied Walker’s right to do so, Great excitement followed. Buffington, ot Massachusetts; Deane, of Connecticut, and others, withdrew in disgust, Humphrey Marshall anid he had not been put up to be treated as he had been, and that every little whipper-snapper from the North had run up bis flag for the place; that he was put up to be beaten by Richardeon, and to drive the black republicans over to Richardson's support. It was proposed to nominate « candidate whom the black republicans could not support. ‘As they came out, Whitney, of New York, declared the whole thing a d——d farce. Fuller is represented to have promised the American mem! Maryland that he would organize certain committees by the appointment of national men. They wanted the names mentioned, which he refused to give. He also is said to have promised Caruthers and Oliver that he would vote for the admission of Kansas as a slave State, if she applied for admission as such. Gov. Gardiner, of Massachusetts, is reported to bave written a letter here, saying that the American question must not be made subordinate to the Kansas question: but Iam unable to learn positively whether the rumor ix correct. At all events, it has roused the indignation of the free soll Know Nothings. The President has not yet consented to have the Mes- tage printed, or even put in type, before its delivery. Very important changes have been made in the Message since last Monday, though not—I have it on very high authority—in consequence of despatches from Mr, Bu- chanan. That matter, Iam assured, is exaggerated. ‘The government has nothing later from Kausss, B. THE REPUBLICANS IN CAUCAS—HOPES FOR BANKS. Wasmnctoy, December 7, 1856. ‘The republicans are holding a caucas at the Capitoi, to-night, to arrange the programme for to-morrow, when Banks it is thought will nearly double his vote of to-day,” and there halt in the race. Politicians are in as dense a fog as ever as to the chances of this or that candidate for the Spenkership, and the election of one to-morrow is tm probable. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Wastrvotox, Dec. 6, 1855. The Balloting for Speaker—President’s M seage—Ex- Members in the Lothy—Hotels— Decl vein Fashion—Snob- ‘ism in the Congressional Library—Public Buildings, dc ‘The difficuity experienced in organizing the House of Representatives isa serious tmpediment to the business of Congress. Four days passed in balloting, and no candidate as yet within thirty of the requisite num- ber of votes! And at the present moment it would require a fifty horse power of the gift of prophecy +o wonderfully possessed by the Washington corres- pondents, to come within a mile and a half of the truth that is to be in regard to the Speakership. Will the 1esult be arrived at to-morrow, next day, in ‘one, two or three weeks, or in as many months Who can answer? The obstinacy of party, which on this point approaches even to mulishness, must be overcome and soothed down to a docility and gentleness not here- tofore reached in politics, before wecan have 8 Speaker for the Thirty-fourth Congrers, and before that ultra- precious document, yclept the President’s Message, is read to an attentive auditory, telegraphed to the New York pres#, and circulated along all the great arteries of travel in the land. What an invaluable document this must be, when it is concealed from the prying watchtul- ness of the hundred and one letter writers sround the capital with such unusual jealousy that not even one of them can even venture to sketch out ite salient points | It was reserved for President Pierce, among his many other little triumphs—Greytown for example—to achieve this signal triumph over the whole alphabet of corres- pondents from AtoZ And is not this « victory worth chronicling, and will it not be a feather in the cap of one who has but little else to boast of in the way of adminis tration? Well, perbaps he is right. Ass strict constructionist there is no doubt that he is right. Why should he anti cipate the action of Congress in ordering it to be printed? Congress may imagine that it would bea waste of timeand on unwarrantabie expenditure of money to have it printed at all. Remembering the former executive documents— what « great cry of patriotism and plack they vented, and what precious little show of either was afterwards exhibdit- ed—Congrese might possibly order the Mesrage to be seat to some other department than that of the printer. Mr. Pierce seems to feel the consciousness that such @ dispo- tition might be made of Lis paper. and itis therefore « trait of conreientiousness on his part not to put the coun- tryto the expense of printing such a thing. Still, it {+ said here that the enterprising journals of New York are determined to have the Message, if they are forced to get it reported and telegraphed. I must in candor ssy that I regard that feat, if it be ccnsummated, as so much energy misdirected. However, chacun @ som gout; ané if the gout of the New York press leads it to commit such extravaga®, of course it has a right to indulge therein. At the risk of repeating an oft-told tale, I may venture to eay that this city is overflowing at all corners with peo ple who don’t seem to have any ostensible business here and whore presence only aida to the expensivences acd disagreenbleness of the piace. Am uninitiated person woula be utterly at a loss, for instance, to form ary res sonable conjecture—consistent with honorable dealing of course—as to why eo many ex-members of Congress are thropging in the hotels, and erowding in the lobby of an ray penne with the economic facilities of a coffee ealoon; but still those viet hot-cake- as wanuerale, to weteb, wel i oo ge truth. ‘And 0, D4 supernumerary, su- perseded maaan of Congress, When beck ap tas pes tagen tn the ob and who are sometimes jostied by the Wi Greeley, i pated as he ambies about, mast have other inducements to come here than thove merely of curiosity and voly on of them ony deep ii wt in Speaker; and many of them may be paper in hand, numberiog up the votes, ‘too, aad crowds of ont sider, yw to the next Presitenitel lectin, 1 Mr. law bas made fame vulgar spec sacag: Lous comprising pares pro@rsing to bave ind wence in Ube prone, jnti:m in that department. That was a measure which, perbare, it was proper to adopt; and then there was no rocm for grumbling, for the whole extent of the library was fiee to visiters, who might rumble about at plea sure, sipping sweets or deriving information from race and precious volumes, in sny language they could read. Tt was to thourandaa'delight thus 0° spend wn. bour or two betimes in glancing over the well-stocked shelves and picking outa book whicu attracted their fancy, to tit down quietly and peruse it in ome of the many at- coves or compartments {nto which the library is subdi- vided. The sec.nd step towards librarian absolutinm, was to prevent acoess—without special permissioo—to oll but the lower floor of the library. Still one might content himself apd be satisfied with even that share of liberty; and the library con- tinued to be a delightful, pleasant and fashionable resort. But the last step towards neutralizing this sole compen- sation for Washington ipipidity hax been to erect » bronze paling or feuce around the room, so that one can- net touch a book, unless he solicit the librarian to be good enough to bind him the one he may choose to select vutof the catalogue. The Astor place Library could not be conducted on more snobbish, more disgreeable and lesa Nberal prineiple than this ‘national Mraty nd if the rule now in force be not rescinded, the poi. the well paid librarianand his assistants will become like many other fat offices in Washi It is unpleasant to notice tl ton—complete ine- gradual settling of haps it ia ax well cures. things hero into excluaiveners, and not to let this tendency pass uncous ‘The effect of che new order thus far has been to make the library « solitude. The next best thing to revoking the snobbish rule, taking away the fencing and removing restrictions, would be to close up the institution altogether. I ho} that for the sake of consistency one of dese plans wi be adopted, Enlargements of the public buildings here are in active progress, That of the l'atent Office is approaching com- pleilon, “The work of enlarging the Treasury building bas been commenced. ‘The addition on the southern side will exclude the White House from « view of the city along Pecnsylvanis svenue; and this will form another reason, in addition to those now existing, for changing the site of the Presi¢ential mansica, The addition to the Post Office has also been commenced, The new wings of the Capitol are progres:ing, satisfactorily, wad have ad. vanced 40 far towards completion that offices are already in use in the southern wing. The Capitel itself does not prevent, Just now, a very grand or impcriog aspect, from the fact of its well-proportioned Come having been re- moved to make way for a cast iron one of more ornate or gingerbread style, When the appropriation for that pur- pore was made last easton, Congress was assured that the work would be completed during the recess, bat from prevent eppea' ances, and from all past experience, it ta ikely that the adjournment of the present session will cee Itstill in an unfinished state. The construction of the railroad between here ard Alexandria has been eum menced, and will probably be finished as soon as the pub- lie buildings are, or us soon as Broadway ts built, I would not Ike to bet on any shorter term.
