BUCHANAN ?—THS SENATE PRINTING—THE ETO. : Waawrseton, Jan. 21, 1866, Democrats of both branches of the Pennsylvania Legis- lature have addressed a letter to the President urging the appointment of J. Glancy Jones to s foreign mission. The President is now casting about fora proper man to suceeed Mr. Buchanan. He (Buchansn) has informed he President that he is desirous of coming home as soon as another minister fs appointed. The question, I ‘am informed, was betore the cabinet to-day. Mr. Tou- coy will not reosive the appointment; his servieos being required in his present position. The Senate caucus sccomplished nothing with referense to the printing. General Cass informed me, to-day, he would not deliver his speech on ‘‘Squatter Sovereignty” until next week. Mr. Faulkner’s resolution was supported by he democratic party, while Banks’ friends voted against it. The Speakership i» more ebscury than ever. Ex-Governor Bigier, of Pennsylvania, arrived this eve- ning, and is stopping at Willard’s. Thurlow Weed also arrived this evening, and is mopping at Willard’s. It fa rumored, this evening, that Forney will resign to- morrow. If this is true it will throw the House into great confusion. dD. ABANDONMENT OF THE PROPOSED COUP D'ETAT. Wasmxaron, Jan. 21, 1856, ‘The plan for organizing the House by the withdrawal of the Clerk, and the enforcement thus of the choice of a Speaker pro tempore,“hs telegraphed by me yosterdsy, has been under consideration by leading democrats ; but the plan has been abandoned, temporarily at least, because its gueceas involves the sacrifice of Col. Richardson. Col. Forney’s confidential associates have ascured the black republicans to-day that the Clerk will in no event become # participator in any coup d’état to compe} the Organization of the House. The report of the contem- Plated withdrawal or resignation of the Clerk created much sensation last evening and this morning among the republicans. They are firmer and more determined to-day than ever before, and the administration would find them, as well as the National Know Nothings, a ter- ribly rough party to handle in any unusual way. B. SPAIN JOINS THE ALLIES—CUBA PROTECTED BY THE. WESTERN POWERS, ‘Wassinaton, Jan, 21, 1866, It has been ascertained from an authentic source that the long talked of alliance between Spain, Great Britain and France, has beem formally consummated, the first binding herself to send into the field ten to twenty thousand men in the spring, while her :nteresta, particularly in Cuba, are to be protec‘ed by France and England. THIRTY-FOURTA CONGRESS. FIST SESSION. SENATE. Wasmuncron, Jan. 21, 1856. THE NAVAL RETIRING BOARD. ‘ Petitions were presented from retired and dismissed officers of the navy, complaining of the action of the Naval Board. Mr. But, (whig) of Tenn., while: approving generally of the action of the Board, thought Lieut. Msury’s emi- nent services should have exempted him from a sentence which he considers a mark of degradation. Mr. Matzony, (dem.) of Fla., said Lieut, Maury had been assigned # position on shore at his own request. Mr. Bau, that Lieut. Meury served nearly ten a at ses, and was entitled to consideration accord- lemen discussed f remedying any the Navy Board ee Adjourned to Thursday. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. e ‘Wasnincros, Jan. 2t, 1856, THE SPEAKEBSUIP, Mr. Boyce, (dem.) of S. C., made an ineffectual motion to reseind the resolution prohibiting debate, except by unanimous consent, for one week, unless a Speaker be sconer elected. Mr. Favtxnzr, (dem.) of Va., offered a resolution thet if no Speaker be elected by Monday next, members resign, andan sdjournment ensue till the second Monday in May. The resolution was Jaid on the table by 26 majority. Mr. Snxgo, (K.N.) of Tenn., then submitted a resolu- tion that the supporters of Mr. Banks select one candi- éate from among the supporters of Mr. Richardson, and one from those of Mr. Fuller; that those voling for Mr. Richardson select one of Mr. Banke’ frieuds, and one of Mr. Fuller's, and that the voters for Mr. Puller choose one from among the friends of Mr. Richardson, and one from those of Mr. Banks—the members ao selected to be con- riderec the only candidstes in nomination; ana tha: the lowest on each trial be dropped until an election be ef- fected. ‘The resolution was tabled, and the House proceeded to take the 66 2 Necessary Messrs Porter, Haven and Shorter, each 1. for a choice, 99. Mr. Rust, (dem.) of Ark., offered s resciution declaring, as the sense of the Houre, that Messrs.

Toe adoption by the House yesterday of a resolution cffered by Mr. Clingman, to cut off sil farther debate and explanations for a week, ‘unless a Speaker is sooner elected,” is favorably regarded, and strong hopes are now entertained of an early organization. It is sufficiently evident that but for the caucus rale, which permitted of no change in candidates for the Speakership, an organization could have been effete’ long since; but this was oppored by leading member» whore object it would room was to try how far they could play with the public feeling and interest. But a sing! reason presents itself for the selection of Mr. Richardson by the demccrats as their candidate for Speaker~the fact of his connection with the Nebraska law, and himsel’ being @ resident of one of the central States of the Union. While the talent of Mr. Richardson is fair, there are at Teast & hundred members of the House his equal in this reepect, anda large number out of that hundred who have shown as much zeal for the passage of the Nebraska bill as has been evinced by Mr. Richardson. There facts are not disputed by the gentleman alluded to, who has, on two or three occasions, urged upon his friends the ne- cesrity of dropping him and ¢electing some new man in his stead. But this suggestion has unheeded, when the benefite arising from ita adoption were obvious, It is almost certain that {t would have been followed by Mr. Banks being forced to give way to ® more popular cand'\- date, in the person of some member of ty who 1d command the two or three votes withheld from Banks, thus effecting an election. ‘Therefore,if the democratic party are sincere {a ti repeated wishes for an organization, let them drop Rie ardeon, who can’t be elected, wud their example. will followed by the black repablicars, who are Dut wewithud for this example from democrats, to put aome mag forwaré upon whom they will be able to centre their fuil Feeble as this reasoni y seem, the trnib of it is known to Mr. Cobb and company, and believed to by a majority of the House, Lat the experiment bs triad new by dropping three old candidates, and patting in their names and new mys, and the week, to all probability, will not pass away without the election of a 8 er.

(From the Springfield Republican, Jan. 21.) RESUMING CONNECTION WItH THE NATIONAL ORGA- ASBON. The American perein Massachusetts recognize, we pereeive, the action of the National Council at Philadel- phia in June after their delegates left, and are preparing under authority of that action to send delegates to the National Convention, at the same place, in February. Perhaps they take the ground assumed in Connectici thet their delegates did not bolt in June, but only pro- tested os a whipped-ont but still succumbing minori‘y.

Cowles would not hear the case until his disputed claim wes finally settled, Judge Koowevelt sald: By the Revised Statutes it is pro- vided that no Judge cau sit, as sueh, io any cause in which he would be excluded frombeing a juror by reason ot ecpeangulaity or aflimity to elther of the parties, On further inquiry in respect f the relationships of the nu- merous perpuns named in the mers’ report—a document conaisting of some thousana pages—it appears that one of the parties was the step-daughter ol a lady now deceased, who in her life time was the daughter of 4p aunt of the presicing.

Under these circu m- cumstances the question is: What action should now be taken in the premises? By the Code, the Governor is authorized whenever there is an undue mare of busi- ness upon the Judges of any particular district, or when- ever in bis judgment the public good requires it, to ap- point extraordinary terms, and to assign other Judgos, whose duty tu such cases it ia to be to “hold the court sccordingly.”’ It any person, therefore, deems this case to be one in which the public good requires the in- tervention of the Executive, it is competent to him tu make @ >epresenta ion to that effect, and to request the Governor to exercise the power which the law bas given Mr. Dillon moved a postponexent of the case until Mon- day next.

After the trial of an assault and battery case, the case of Patrick Hearn was called, charged with gambling.

Mr. Hall objected to the postponement of the case. This affidavit of Mr. Sickles did not come in tine. When this case was postponed last week tiil the present time, it was known then that this witness was out of the city. Mr. Sickles said he stated when this case was called up last week that he had been just retained in the cave chen, and did not know exastiy what was wanted, ‘The City Judge said be Uhought the request» eusonable, and was willing that the case should go off for the term. Mr. Sickles—I would make # like motion in the ouses of Skiilmen and Edgar, for whom I also appear. City Jucge—There {sno objection.
