The boy was finally released from hie imminent danger, and "Announce the vote" was again shouted from all sides of the House The Cleric announced the vote : Ranks, 103 i Aiken, 100 Fuller, 0 i Campbell,of O 4 Well's, 1. Mr. Benson, one of the tellers, declared Mr. Bonks elected Speaker. The announcement was received with deaf ening cheers on the Republican side and in other quarters, and the waving of handker chiefs by the ladies in the galleries. Sev eral minutes of wild disorder followed. Mr. A. K. Marshall raised a question that Mr. Bauk* was not elected. The •Clerk had no powe- to authorize such a re suit to be announced. It must he so de clared by a vote of the House. The Clerk explained, giving reasons which appeared to be satisfactory for his conduct. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, appealed to the honor of gentlemen to carrv tho plurality resolution into affect and eud tbe disgrace ful struggle. Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, regarded Mr. Banks virtually elected by a majority of the House under the plurality rule. Mr. Aiken asked to be allowed to conduct Mr. Banks, as Speaker, to the Chair, ( Ap plause.) There wa3 much contusion during these -proceedings. Mr. Smith, of Alabama, hiehiy apprecia ted Mr. Aiken's request. If granted, he thought it would heat the division* and pour -oil on the troubled water*. When growu up men make a child's bargain, they ought to stick to it. (Laughter.) After further debate, Mr. Clingmon of fered a resolution that, by reason of the a -doption of tbe plurality vote aud the vote taken under it, Nathaniel P. Banks has been duly ehjsen Speaker, and is hereby so declared. The resolution was adopted—yeas 156, uay 39. Several gentlemen explained that, though they had cousistuntly voted against Mr. B*uks, they felt bound as judges, and not electors, to carry out the order of the House by voting for the above resolution. Mr. Banks was then, by the request of the Cltrk, conducted to the Chair by .Messrs. Aiken, Fuller, of Pa. aud Campbell, of Ohio, aund profound silence, succeeded by hearty cheers. When the applause had subsided, Mr Banks aGdresse l the Hou-e as follow*. Gentlemen of the House, of Representa tive?— Before 1 proceed to eonipietc the acceptance of the office which you have conferred upon me, I avail myself of your i indulgence to express my obliga'tow for ihe honor confer re i upon me. It would afford far greater pleasure wore itaceoinpan- j icd even by the self-assurance that 1 tdkuld ! bring to tba discharge of the arduous and delicate dutie 4 , always difficult, but now i environed with unusual difficulties, any cu- < paeitj commensurate with their respomi- ; bility and dignity. I can ouly say that I: shall bear myself, so far a 4 possible, with ■ fidelity to the interests and institutions , of the country and the government, and 1 with impartiality so far as regards the rights I <if members of this House. I have no per- j sona! objects to accomplish. lam animated j by a single desire of contributing in some little degree, to the maintenance of the ! well-established principles of our Govern ment in their original Americ.au significa tion: in developing that portion of the con tinent we occupy, o far as we may do so within the power conferred on us, enlarg ing and swelling its capacities for beneficent influences at Lottie ami abroad, and tun in terning intaet ami in perpetuity the inesti mable privileges transmitted to us. lam aware that neither myself nor any other man, is equal to the perfect accomplishment of those duties. 1 am, therefore, as a man must he in such presence, a suppliant for your indulgence and support. 1 again re turn you my thanks for the honor conferred upon me. (Applause, deafening and long continued.) Mr. Biddings, being the oldest member of the House, administered the oath to Mr. Banks by request of the Clerk. Mr. Stanton offered a resolution that the thanks of the House are eminently due, an i are hereby tendered to John W, Forney, for the distinguished ability, fidelity and impartiality, with which he has presided over the deliberations of the llouse during the arduous and protracted contest for Speaker. The resolution was unaniuioush adopted, and the House adjourned. The Republicans are wild with exulta tion, giving frequent cheers, while others arc crowding around Mr Banks, earnestly congratulating him.
