ANOTHER UNSUCCESSFUL BALLOT. The Positions of the Southern Democrats and South Americans, &., &., Our Special Washington Despatch. Wasurvaron, Dec. 21, 1859. ‘THE CONTEST FOR THS SFRAKERSHIP. ‘This has-been a field day in the House. The HERALD’s report of the debates will illustrate the fact, ‘The Americans bad a caucus this morning, Mr. Gilmer, of North Carolina, in the chair. Mr. Boteler, of Vir- ginia, offered a resolution providing that after the-first ‘ballot to-day he be authorized to withdray his uame from ‘the list of candidates for Speaker, and then offer a re- ‘solution declaring Mr. Millson, of Virginia, to be the Speaker, with the understanding that when the House Proceeded to vote on the resolution the South Americans should go over to bim. The resolution was bitterly opposed by Messrs. Ethe- ridge, Briggs, Harris, Nelson, Webster and others; but upon a vote being taken, the resolution was adopted, ten to nine. In the House, after Mr. Davidson, of Louisiana, made a fierce disunion speech, Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, got the floor, and interrogated the South Americans to know whether they did not intend to aid in electing a Southern man? His appeal was so direct to Mr. Boteler that the latter did not wait for the second ballot, as designated in the programme laid down in the American caucus, but upon the impulse of the moment sprang to his feet, and, after thanking those who had voted for him, withdrew bis name from the list of candidates, and nominated Ge- neral Millson. This appeared to the uninitiated like an impromptu act, @ generous impulse, called forth by the patriotic appeal of Mr. Cobb. It was conceived in the American caucus, and had premature birth on the floor of the House. The pro- position divided the South Americans, twelve voting for Gen. Millson aod twelve scattered their votes for Etheridge, Gilmer, Anderson of Kentucky, Hill and Nelaon, Thove who-voted for Millson are as follows:—Measrs. Adams, Bristow and Moore, of Kentucky; Hardeman and Hill, of Georgia; Bouligny, of Louisiana; Smitb, Leach and Vaace, of North Carolina; Maynard, of Tennessee, and Boteler, of‘Virginia. Mr. Brabson paired off with Mr. Scranton, of Pennsylvania, deciaring his intention, if present, to vote for Millson. The other twelve voted against Mr. ‘Millson because he voted for Lecompton and sup- yports Mr. Buchanan’s administration, and express &e. supporting” him when they were elected upon an anti-Bu- ‘banan, anti-Lecompton platform. Politics continue to make strange bedfellows. Moesers. Milward, Wood and Morris of Pa., and Wilson of Ind., firm friends of Mr. Sherman, complimented Etheridge with their votes, knowing that there would be uo lection, and that they would not thereby endangor their favorite candidate. Mr. Reynolds, who declined voting on the last ballot, perceiving his vote would not elect Sherman if he cast it for him, voted for Riggsof N. J. This shows that Mr. Sherman held his relative vote. Mr. Horace F. Clark made an elaborate definition of his position ina speech to-day, as an excuse for preventing the House from organizing. Mr. Riggs served a notice on bis American friends in caucus to-day, that they must not attempt to trade him off for a Lecompton democrat. He would rather be counted out of the American ring. He was immediately released from all responsibility. | The President expressed his opinion to gentlemen to | day that the Honge would not organize until after the | holidays. Apropos—Mr. Winslow, of North Carolina, read a resolution, which he asked leave to offer, that | from and after to-morrow no ballot for Speaker be taken until after the 5th of January. The proposition was not for a moment entertained. The republicans refuse to abandon the fight or pair off JUDGE PARKER DECLINES THE NEW YORK DISTRICT ATTOR- NEYSHIP. ‘The President received Judge Parker’s declension of the office of United States District Attorney this morning. ‘There are already quite a number of new applicauts here, among whom are Judge Dean, Peter T. Cutter and ©, H. Hunt. The appointment will not be made for some days. APPOINTMENTS BY THR PRESIDENT. The President sent to the Senate to-day a large number of appointments, made during the recess of Congreas. ‘They comprised marshals, district aitorneys and post- masters, which were referred to the appropriate commit tees. The name of Mr. Grund, Consul to Havre, was also sent in. | | | OUR TREATIES WITH FOREIGN POWERS. ‘The China, Nicaragua and Paraguay treaties were also sent, together with a number of Indian treaties. OUR TREATY WITH MEXIOO—THE PRESIDENT’S VIEWS OF MEXIGAN AFFAIRS. A telegraphic despatch was received to-day from Minis- ter McLane, who had arrived on board the Brooklya at New Orleans, stating that the treaty with Moxico had been negotiated, ana that his Secretary of Legation was on his way to Washington with it. Nothing more in regard to it is known. ‘The President will not change his Message respecting Mexican affairs, as it has been stated he would if the ne gotiated treaty should reach here before the Message was nent to Congress. A8 soon as the treaty arrives here he will communicate it at onze to the Senate, leaving them to ‘take such action as they may deem proper. The intelligence received bere from Mexico makes it / swery questionable in the President’s mind whether the Juarez government will remain much longer in the as- cendancy. ‘THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. It is not very probable, unless the Houso organiza, that the President will send in bis Message until after the holi- daye, af many of the Senators will leave the city after to- | morrow, and will not return for some ten days, the Senate in the meantime adjourning over from day to day without transacting any business. TRE VACANT MISSION TO FRANCE. ‘The names of Hon. Henry M. Phillips, of Penesvivania, and W. S. Groesbeck, of Ohio, are mentioned in connection with tho French mission, but it is understood that Mr. Faulkner, of Virginia, will carry off the prize, ‘THE KANSAS CONSTITUTIQN. Mr. Arny, agent of the Kansas Wyaudot Convention waited upon the President to-day, and presented him with py of the constitation of the proposed vew State of Kavsas. In behalf and by authority of the Con- vention be urged that Mr. Buchanan woul! communicate the fact to Congress, with a recommendation that Kansas be immediately adoitted into the Union, Mr, Buchanan deemed any action on bis part uncalled for, as the Con. vention had provided means for oommuieating the fact to the two houses, MISCELLANFOTS NEWS. Senator Hale leaves for home in tho morning, He is desirous of ascertaining whether there is auy dangor of dissolution iu New Hampshire. Mr. Morria, of [inota, hae been pregnant for several duye with a terrifle apeech against the administration aud ib support of Mr, Douglas, It isexpesied he will | call Mr. Kellogg toan nok for charging that Greeley Ddelieve | | rights trampled op without redress, there was uo other | this kind of the recess, and the name of Francis J. Grund as Consul 0 Havre. None of them were acted on, further than being referred to the appropriate committees for examination. ‘The American National Committee changed thelr place of meeting to-day, from this city to Philadelphia. ‘There was a telegraphic error iv the paragraph about Mr. Etheridge in to-day’s,Hgratp. The statement should have been that he wrote to Mr. Botts if Judge Douglas was nominated at Charleston that he should be in favor of Judge McLane, and if Gen. Lane was nominated he was in favor of Gen. Scott—Judge against Judge and General against General. THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION, Senate. Wasnixctox, Deo, 21, 1859. ‘THE COURT OF CLAIMS AND THE APPOINTMENT OF WEST POINT CADETS.

On motion of Mr. Foor, (rep.) of Vt., a resolation was adopted instructing the Committee on Finance to inquire into the practicability of adopting some more effectual aud-economical means of warming the public batldings of the government throughout the country, and of makmg aD appropriation for the purpose of accomplishing that ob. Mr. Bavarp, (dem.) of Del., introduced several bills which failed to receive action at the last Cumgresa, ‘They relate to the administration of justice in criminal cases, appeals and writs of error; to supply vacancies in cer: regulating the carriage of passengers in steamships and other vessels. Afver another executive session, the Senate adjourned. ‘House of Representatives. Wasuincron, Dec. 21, 1869. SPEECH OF MR. DAVIDSON, OF LOUISIANA, ON TH IMPENDING cKISIS, Mr.\Davrosow, (dem.) of La., said he saw no use for in- dulgence in harsh language, and certaivly had no desire tochurt the feelings of any gentleman. He liked to have freedom of speech for himself, and therefore would never | trespass on that right as applied to others. Tt was a grave error to say that the South wants to foree-slavery into the ‘Territories. Ail they ask, and what they are determined to have, is that their rights be protected in the common Territories of the country. Be belonged to the nationa; democracy. If troubles exist in # party, let them be set- Hed, he said, inside the organization. He was willing to let bygones be bygones. While he wanted the House organized, he would never consent to do it by the election of a man Whose mantle is stained by blood spilt in sedition, He never believed in the doctrine of secession, and did not init now. But when a people were aggrieved, remedy. Itwas no longer the politicians sent here to manufacture public opimon who talk about this grievous evil—it was the whole Southern heart, wbich comes up with one voice to say, ‘stop, go no further; you have | passed the Rubicon; you taust stop where you are, or the objects for which the confederacy was formed must cease.”” He would candidly tell gentlemen that uvlese such raids as those of Johu Brown shall be stopped, there will be a war between the North and Sout. "He argned that the republicans were here asa party toxtrike down the rights of the Southern States. He read from the compendium of Helper's book to show that it advises that the infernal question of slavery must be disposed of and absolutely abolished as the true policy of the South. In view of Sentiments, did not John Brown beheve that Mr. Sherman and others would stand by him? ‘Was it to be expected that his constitnente and the State of Louisiana would consent that this Union should be go- verned by @ party which advised slaves to rise in the South aud commit murder? He charged that the repre entatives of the North who advised this thing have not had the nerve, in the face of a decent community, either to endorse or gainsay the teachings of Helper’s book. He bad been asked whether he would consider the mere election of Mr. Seward cauge to secede from the Union, and he had auswered certainly not. He would wait for an overt.act, but that overt act has been committed, and Mr. Seward is an accessory before the fact of downright raid, for which, before God and high heaven, the republi- caps are responsibie. His ardent love for the Union prompted him to hope the bitter cup wonld pass away. Let chmate, sot! and products settle the slavery question. SPEKCH OF MR. OF ALABAMA. Mr. Cons, (dem.) of Ala., & good natured speech, saying be ‘was himiliated, after being a member for thirteen years, to tind he was obliged to associate with men who endorsed Belper’s book. His people had beard all that came from the North uttered by Cheever, Philips, Helper and others, and of John Brown’s raid, and yet his constituents prayed for the perpetuity of the Union. He had been a compromise man, but was now done with compromises. He hoped Mr. Sherman would stand up and repudiate every senti- ment of Heiper’s book Gentlemen on the republican side, he asked, have you ne other member than Mr Sherman capable of filling that chair? We democrats Lave twenty five able to fill it. (Laughter.) You have a8 many who never signed the paper recommendiog thy bat worl He did not care what Mr. Blair ey eaid; aad republicans to tell his oon. there 18 a conservative spirit here the election of a conservative Speaker. Sherman’s going into that chair would be sufficient ife for bis people to doubt the sincerity of the North, wanted ap organization and u litte more money. (Laughter.) Bot as for that, he had sent home for mousy enough to fast til) the 4th of March, 1861 Mr. Enmaipex, (8. opp.) of Tenn., in reply to Mr. Oobb, degired to know where the votes to clect @ Speaker on the basis proposed by the latter were to come from. Mr. Conn rejoined—We will get the democrais; you South Americans come over and help us, and we think we can persuade others to do likewise. (Laughter. ) Mr, Ernrnince eaid he and his triends had refused to en tertain a proposition for going over to the democrats, un- kee they could show that by gomwg over au election can bo effeoted. Tt was demonstrated that the democrats cannot unite their votes on any one candidate. There was not a man on the democratic side who can, as was med, get binety-three voles A week ago be eaid the Southern opposition could put one of their number (Mr. Cilmer) ina position where the democrata could elect Nim. They could bow put one of their trends to @ similar peeition, Conid the gentioman from Alabama place one of bis friends in such & position that the Southern oppasi tion by going over coule elect him? When Mr. Oobd could or could vot exeape from it stitnents that evinced by Mr sow this it woud then be time for the opposition to oon sider the proposition Mr Comm—l wanted a straightforward answer to my qeestion.

(Applause. Mr. Cows invites Mr. Biertagets RN i aes Wil he would vote tor bis nominee. WITHDRAWAL OF MR HOTELER. Mr. Borrixr, (3. opp.) of Va, here rose, and was Its- tened to with marked attention. He said hie humble name had been before the House, but not through any act 1 his own. He did uot presume to aspire to the r’8 ehair, He was there for the first time, and was without oo avenge experience and unacquainted with the usiness the House He therefore had no right OF reason to expect any such tokens of consideration and ‘as thoes be had received. He cesired to express his grateful acknowledgments to his political friends who had stood by We: and most iy ciaity to those from whom he had heretofore differed. He desired to express to them his gratitude, not in the cold language of conventonalism, but in those simple words which leap up from the heart w the lip. He withdrew from the contest, and proceeded to name @ gentleman who he waa sure would be acceptable to both sides—be meant the conservative portion of the House, who battle for the constitution, and t protect it from the angry surges produced by the persistent cour se of those who call themselves republicans. He pominated Mr. Millson, of Virginia, trusting he would claim the support of thore who are not only conservative in name, but in conduct. (Applause.) Impatient cries of “Vote,” “Ballot.” Mr. Cons—I trust the object of harmony is acoomplish- ed, and, since it seems that an organization can be eftect- ed; Tam done. SPEECH OF HORACE ¥. CLARK. Much anxiety was manifested to vote, but Mr. Carx, (A L. dem.) of N. Y’, row, saying ho Proposed to address the House directly on the question of organization. While he did not expect to show how the orgavization could be effected, he thought what he would say would show bow an organization could not be effected. Mr. Aprain, (A L dem.) of N. J.—If you can bring about ap orgavization I hope you will speak to that effect. Saverat Voicrs—'So dol? “Let's wait?” Mr. CLarK (resuming) said be had been called an anti- Lecompton man, and was sometimes accused of mercena- ry bargaining for the sale of votes for Speaker. As lo this public slander on him and his brother mercenaries, be bad long ago reached that point of political desperation when nothing said or written by alivicg man could in the slighest degree influence his action im the organization of the House, or any otber action. While he claimed the right to speak for himself, he utterly disclaimed the right of speaking for those whe acted with him. In defending his position he called himself a States rights demoorat, and said thet be had trium over the io his district whose fede- ral and municipal officers had combined to defeat bim. Holding vo allegiance to avy mam or orgauization, he was as free as the flag that waved ever the Capitol. He bad oppoeed Mr. Bocock because he was the candidate of tho administration. Mr. Davinson (interrupting) remarked that he gever knew, as Mr. Clark suid, that Mr. Bocock was the candi date of the administration While he spurne@ all sucn stuff, he was here todo bis duty. All he wanted to kuow was that Mr. Booock was for the constitution and laws, and willing to carry out the mission of the democratic party. Mr. ) said’be had no animosity to in- by or wrongs to ge oa His saeaponiem was ere’ political, not personal. thoug! expressed of all anti democrats when he dis- for them the indu! of private grief or disay- pointment. He said ag appeals had been mate to rally to the support of Mr. Bocook-on sectional grounds, he enty desired to remark tbat be wasa Northern man, aod if the calamity of the disseverance of these States were to come, his fortune and fate would be with the North. He stated his objections to Messrs. Booock aud Milleon to be becaure they sanctioned the Territorial policy of the administration, and be could not vote for ‘them, because that policy was almost as dangerous and tatal to the aud barmony of the republic as he re- garded this contmuous wrangle about slavery. He re- peated that he could vote for no gentleman who was.com mitted-to sustain the policy which he was commited to oppose. He-would vote ior some gentleman standing on the democratic platform as he understood it ‘WITHDRAWAL OF MR. M’CLERNAND. Mr. McCurewasp, (dem.) of 1l.—It has been the plea- sure, Mr. Clerk, of some of my political frieads on this floor to cast their votes for me in this contest for Speaker. ‘That this was done without any solicitation ou my part they will bear testimony. That it was done contrary to my wishes many of them know. Sincerely thanking these gentlemen for this mark of their respect and cont- dence, ] beg of them to cease voting for me, aad to vote for another. I am pot @ candidate for the Speakership. I donot desire that office. If it were in my power to con- trol the office, I would bestow it on another rather than on myself; and there is no geutleman in the House on whom I would more readily bestow it than my distin- guished friend from Virginia (Mr. Millson), whose name has ‘been announced by another gentleman from the same State (ir. Boteler). Thad the pleasure of knowing that gentieman Many years tice, and to serve io Congress with bim for some-years, for atime covering a very stormy and event ful-period in the history of the country. At that time T had gnportunities of judging his character and quatifica- tions, and Tam proud to say on this occasion that he has ever, 80 farasT know, borne himseif as # patriot and a statesman, looking to the interests of the whole country and the glory of the republic. I may add that I know of vo gentleman op this floor better qualified to grave the Speaker's chair than that gentieman. He is a mao of Jearning, a man of experience, and particularly of parlia- mentary experience. His intellectand his moral and social ‘quatities eminently fit him for the Speaker’s chair. Tam ‘for bim, and hope that all who sympa:hize with me are for him. Let us, whatever may be our diferences of opinion on-come points, make one effort, one joint and sunited effort, and if need be several efforts, to elevate that gentleman to the Speaker’s chair, and the country will approve the act. (Applause. ) Mr, Monnis, (A. L. dem.) of Il!., made a fow remarks, eying that although he thought he was entitled to the floor to day, it had not been astigned him. Asa member be-claimed is rights, and would insist on them at al) times and on all proper occasions. The CueRK explained why he did not give Mr. Morris the floor. He said there were fifteen or twenty applications before bia, and it was impossible to gratify all gentlemen at the game time. He would endeavor hereafter, as here- tofore, to diepenee equal and exact justice to all. Mr. Morxis claimed no greater privileges than were ac- corded w others, but wished to be treated with the same courtesy. The Gaex—You shal! have that. ‘THR SEVENTRENTH RALLOT FOR SPEAKER. ‘The House then proceeded to vote for Speaker, with the following result:— Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, republican.

He is no doubt an able and an honest man, and from his abilities and learaing he would grace the Speaker’s chair; but when I vote to place him Jo it it will be a8 @ last resort, and against which and tbe circumstances leading to it I would protest to the last. (Continues applause.) Sir, the most unpardonable of- fence tp my eyes—it is an insuperable objection tm my es- timation—is that any man should have youd for tne Le compton constitution. Look back, aud judge of that act by the feeling of the people of Kansas now, who despise and scorn the constitution that was attempted wo be forced upon them, as much as they despise and scorn the men that made it. Mr. Buryetr did not see the force of the gentleman’s reasons for bis oppesition to Mr. Millson. It was true that he voted for the Lecompton bill, and you think that act ‘was wrong. That is the only point of diflurence between jou. Imyself do notendorse Mr. Millgon’s vote on the aneas Nebraska bill, yet as a Southern man, as a man claiming to be @ national conservative, I say that I would sooner vote for him tnap for a man who had signed the Helper book compendium. This House ll not be orga- nized with my consent, or with tbe consent of my consti- tuents, by the election of aman to that chair who has lighteo the torch of the incendiary, and sent it to invade the States of the South.

As one who Joves his country, aud who has faith in the bright desti- nies which are be‘ore her, Tsay to you, vow for the hono- rable gentleman from Virginia (Mr. ‘Millson), notwith- standing that you all may not, as Ido not, approve of bis vote upon the Kaneas and Missouri questions. I under- stood @ gentleman on the other side to say that we could not bring forward a democratic candidate for whom we could command pinety-tbree votes. Now, the inference to be drawn from these words is, that if we could pro- duce such a candidate he (Mr. Etheridge) would vote for bim, and yet when we have put forward a man who has received, not only ninety-three votes, but ninety-six votes—when we present @ gentleman 80 supported, one who has received the largest aumber of votes yet revord- ed for any one man by the natioual elements in the Houee—he votes against bim. Mr. Errerwwcr—] said this morning that you could not get ninety-three votes for a demo- crat, and I repeat that again. The vote just recerded of ninety six for the gentleman referred to has been made up from the Southern opposition. (Derisive laughter from the democratic benches.) bir. BuryeTt—Sir, if we cannot orite we have got what is better—(laughter)—ninety-six national conservative men, who have rallied round Mr, Milleon; and yet you invite me to go over to your side and vote for Mr. Gilmer. Mr. Enuaupar—I gave no such invitation.
