SHMATORIAL FLARE-UP IN EXBCUTIVE ERSHION. ee , in executive session to-day, confirmed a legge r of unimportant nominations. ‘The nomination of Mr. Faulkner, as Minister to rance, was taken up, and after a very avimated @iecussion, was confirmed. The republicans objected to him, on the ground of his disunion speeches recently made, and desired to know of his friends whether he entertained such sentiments. Sevators Mason and Hunter weplied that they had no donbt he entertained the senti- ments attributed to him—they were the sentiments of every Southern man. After considerable wrangling in @ebate he was confirmed by a strict party vote. Mr. Elgee, Secretary of Legation to Mexico, was also eeafrmed. ‘The executive session of the Senate to-day was probably the most violent and brutal that ever disgraced the Senate @f the United States. Mr. Clingman made a severe speech against the election of Seward. Mr. Doolittle replied to @lingman, and charged upon the South with severity, ‘when Mr. Toombs gave the lie to Doolittle, and Doolittle ffung it back, and consternation followed, and what fol- @wed that your reporter cannot tell, save @ hurried ad- Jeurnment. I do not hear that notes have passed to-night, Dut all concur that the scene in the Senate to-day was mever 6 Ir Sadie ti nave tay ineznc thin al ems ot: ‘@e difficulty grew out of a charge brought by the repub- ‘Beans that Mr. Faulkner was in favor of disunion. As evi- @ence of this, an extract of his recent speech concerning Brown’s raid at Harper's Ferry was quoted. This brought the entire South to the support of Mr. Faulkner and his disanion sentiments, who, it was believed up to that time, would have béen rejected but for the additional interference of Mr. Doolittle. Messrs. Iver- Bon and Clay are said to have been quite as bitter as Mr. ‘Joombe in their replies to Mr. Doolittle, who is not report- ea to have made any answer to the epithets, which are reported to have been very severe. The old Senators say there has not been #0 stormy an executive session since {the rejection of Mr. Van Buren, and the attempted rejec- tion of Mr. Everett, who was saved by the surpassing elo- quence of Henry Clay. ‘Ne action was taken on the motion to reconsider the ‘veto by which Mr. Grund was rejected as Consul to Havre. ‘THB ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE. ‘The failure of the wires to communicate between the political and commercial capitals of the nation for the Inst two days, has resulted in no great loss, politically, to the readers of the Hnarp. There being no Congress on Seturday, that day and Sunday were employed by the politicians in getting up new programmes and removing old ones, creating rumors which would in each case re- sult in a panic in the opposite ranks, from which the panic struck would always recover. ‘The assembling of the House to-day was only a revival ef an unprofitable debate, no ballot being taken. It was expested, if a ballot had been taken to-day, that an ef- fort would have been made to unite the opposition to Mr. Sherman on Mr. Smith, (8. opp.) of North Carolina. Although an American in principle, Mr. Smith, it fe as- serted, was never initiated into the Know Nothing Order. ‘This gives him a preference over Mf. Boteler. It is probable that before the House votes for a Speaker again a motion will be made to vote by written ballot. It is believed that the motion will carry, and that a Speaker > ‘will be'elected under ft. An effort may be made to stave it < off by debate; if s0, to prevent another endless talk, the mo- tion will be withdrawn, in the hope that some arrangement ‘will be made whereby a vote can be had upon the plu- rality rule. Many conservative democrats are expressing themselves anxious for its adoption. Some are influenced Dy the extraordinary pressure made upon them by the mail contractors, Some, representing Northern constitu- encies, say they believe that all fair constitutional objec- tion to the election of a republican Speaker has been ex- hhausted—that further delay will be interpreted as wilful captiousnees, and they cannot be sustained by yielding to at the expense of the public business. + ‘There is considerable gossip about the Capito) that the « friends ef Mr. Sherman talk of abandoning him for somo ether man. It is all idle gossip. No man can be found fm the House who concentrates so many votes as Mr. Sherman. The man who approaches nearest to him is Mr, Hickman. It is eaid that Mr. Clark, of N. Y., and Adrain and Riggs, of N. J., will vote for him on the next Dallot. Should they do so, and agree to adhere to him, the fact may indicate the future course of the ropublicans. Several gentlemen who have been voting for Mr. Sher- man may pay their respects to E, Joy Morris on the next allot, if..their votes are not required to produce a result en Mr. Sherman. The impreasion that ‘Northern democrats with foreign constituencies would never vote for an + Amerioz, was removed to-day by the announce- 3" of Mr. Larribee, of Wisconsin, that although he represented more foreigners than any other man in the House, yet he would vote for an American if his yote ‘would elect. The remark produced a sensation. ‘Various private conferences have taken place since Fri- Gay, among gentlemen representing different parties, with & view of agreeing upen a basis fer the election of a Speak. ‘mew proceed to the election of a Speaker, wea voce, and if, $n the event of a failure by the people to do so, and the mode by which the Senate chooses a Vice President ia the same coutingency. Thear second-banded that Mr. Cox, of Ohio, denies that be bad anytHing to do with making up the coalition pro- gramme on Friday evening last, by which the anti-repub- ean eiements wore to combine on Mr. Boteler or Mr. Smith, and declares that he never will lend his influence ‘& elect & member of the American party. If ever the resolutions pass through the Maryland Le- cislature instructing the Maryland members of Congrees te vote for a democrat for Speaker, Messrs. Davis, Harris and Webster will aseail them. ‘@ RUSH FOR A VACANT JUDGESMP. ‘sunk Wa ee hours after the anrouncemont of the 2 udge Boone, of New Mexico, there were ten aphlications for the appointment. Mr, Otero, delegate from that Territory, recommended three of the candi- dates without discriminating between them, namely, R.

PRICE TWO CENTS. ‘Watts is making a desperate push fer it, upder the patron: | age of Senaters Bright and Fich. ‘THB ELECTION OF 4 PRINTER TO THS SENATE. ‘The Senate will probably take up to-morrew the elec- tion of a printer, and, from present appearances, it ts sup- posed that Bowman will be elected. All the stories that have been got up against him are merely political manceu- ‘vres and a part of the game to win the spoils. ‘This delay in the election of the Senate printer has had 8 dilatory effect upon all the business of the Senate, and particularly on the executive business. The documents that have been sent to that body by the President, among which are the Chinese and Mexican treaties, cannot be acted upon until they are printed, and they can bo printed only by the printer of the body, who becomes a sworn officer of the Senate. Nothing is, therefore, known of the probable fate of the new treaty with Mexico, for the Senators themsclves bave not read it, and will not de so until they can read it in print. ‘When the election of a Printer comes up in the Senate to-morrow, Senator Brown, of Mississippi, will state that he cannot vote for Mr. Bowman, the caucus nominee, while the charges preferred against him have not been refated. There are seven other democratic Senators who will make similar siatements, and one of them will move that a committee be appointed to investigate the charges. A motion will proaably be made to elect a Printer pro tem. to do the work which is absolutely required by the Senate. ‘Those boon companions, Weed and Wendell; meet daily ‘at the Capitol to settle the printing and other great ques- tions of the nation. Mr. Bowman has hard sledding for the Senate printing. Senator Gwin, it is said, has a candi- date by the name of Maynard, who will push Bowman from his stool, unless Wendell heads them both, which is most likely. HE HARPER'S VERRY INVESTIGATION. ‘The Senate Brown Raid Investigating Committee have concluded their examination of the Harper’s Ferry wit- nesses, eliciting nothing important that has not been pub- examination was likely to involve others more or leas, he wished to be accurate, and not do them injustice, and he could not be so without having access to his record, made ‘at the time, of bis transactions for the National Kansas papers. Arny is, undoubtedly, the most important wit ness the committee will have before them, and his revels. tions will go far to settle public judgment concerning Brown and his raid into Virginia. 4 NEW FULIBUSTER MOVEMENT. Information was received here to-day that thirty-five hundred men are now in New Orleans ready to embark for Vera Crus. They go out as immigrants, and will be received into citizenship by the Juarez, or liberal govern- ment, when they will be mustered into service under American officers, such as Generals Ring and Wheat, and will sustain that government until the Senate ratifies the McLane treaty, which they expect will be speedily done. ‘The leaders of these immigrants expect, for the aid they will afford the liberals, to obtain the renewal of the grant for a railroad from Aransas Bay to Mazailan,in the Gulf of California, and agree to pay for it the sum of ten thou- sand dollars. The original charter was granted under Santa Anna. They have assurances that one hundred thousand dollars of the Cuban fand raised some years since will be appropriated to defray the expenses of the expedition, and report says that Lord Lyons is of opinion that they will have no trouble about raising funds in England to com plete their railroad enterprise if the McLane treaty is rati- fied by the Senate. The emigrants about to embark from New Orleans agree to remain and engage as laborers in constructing the aforesaid railroad, and at the same time will be recognized as a military organization for their own protection and the protection of the country through which they pass. OUR RELATIONS WITH CHILI AND PERU. Despatches have been received at the Department of State, brought by the North Star, from our Ministers a; Chili and Peru. Minister Bigler writes to the effect that he hopes soon to be able to announce that the pending difficulties between the two governments will be satisfactorily settled. The trouble growing out of the Trevitt affair may pretract matters, inasmuch as the Chilian government are not dis- posed to back down from the position which they as” sumed in that matter. In regard to Peru, there is no material change in the aspect of affairs, The country was tranquil, but how long it would remain so it was impossible to tell, as there were rumors of another revolution in the south of that country, headed by a distinguished leader, who fs known to be opposed to the present dynasty. CONDITION OF AFPAIRA IN UTAH. Advices have been received here from Governor Cum- ming. He speaks rather encouragingly than otherwise of affairs in Utah, and thinks there is a decided and manifest improvement going on among the people since his advent in their midst. He is of opinion that the large force of soldiers now stationed in that Territory can be diminished with perfect afety. He does not corroborate the state- ments which are constantly being made here of the out- ‘wil shortly be issued from the War Department for a movement of a portion of the troops in Utah as econ as the season will permit. A portion of them will be sta- tioned om the Mexican frontier and other points on our frontier. ‘MISCELLANEOUS AYPAIRS. Hon. John Cochrane, though slowly recovering, is still confined by painful iliness. It ia reported that Captain Meigs, lately romoved as su- perintendent of the new wings of the Capitol, is ordered to the Tortugas to superintend some unimportant military works. If the House is ever organized a committee will be raised to investigate the extravagant expenditares ‘upon the Capitol, and then Captain Meigs will be an im- Portant witness. ‘The Massachusetts delegation made a call upon Senator Seward thie evening. The usual courtesies were ex- ehanged, and the delegation retired. Anti-Dougias members of Congress assert that not more than half of the Indiana delegates to Charleston will vote for Douglas. ‘Mr. Hughes, of Indiana, has accepted the Judgeship of the Court of Claims, and ts expected here in a few days. Judge Breese, who was tendered the Marshalship of Tiinois, bas, it is understood, declined. THIRTY-SIITH CONGRESS.

At One end, near where the President sat, was the “old blue fag” of the Association, almost hidden in the folds of an American flag, while above two smaller banners waved. On # were inscribed the words:—“‘Ashlanders: Organize!
