Mr. Carlisle ceived 104 votes, which was exactly double the number cast for Mr. Randall —32. Mr. Carlisle’s state, Kentucky, gave him its solid vote. Mr. Randall's state, Pennsylvania, stood solidly for him. New York divided, casting 7 of its 20 votes for Randall and the balance, 13, for Mr. Cox. The “sectional” nonsense was explod- ed by the vote. Mr. Randall received more votes than Carlisle from Alabama and Virginia and all the votes from Mary- land. Twenty of the 52 votes cast for Randall, or about 40 per cent., came from the Southern States. The California del- egation was brok.n up, 3 for Cox, Car- lisle 2, and 1 for Randall. The Western States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michi- gan, Ohio and Wisconsin gave Cariisle 28 votes and Randall 7. Six of came from Ohio. Ohio also gave Cox © votes for “auld lang syne.” New York gave Carlisle no votes on the first baliot if there had been “no choice,” 13 Cox votes would doubtless have gone for Carlisle. The friendly spirit of the caucus was gratifying, and the congratulations offer ed by the defeated candidates to their fortunate competitor were no doubt sin- cere. Ire the latter all the a —————— i ————————— Randall and Keifer were appointed to eacort Carlisle to the Speaker's chair, which they did amid great applause. The new Speaker immediately began his speech. It was short and was listened to with the grea { interest. After re- turnine thanks {or the honor conferred upon him, he said : I am sure, gentlemen, that all matters of legislation presented during this Con- gress will receive from you such careful consideration as the magnitude and character of the interests involved re quire, and that your action upon them will be wise, conservative and patriotic. Sudden and radical changes in the law and regulations affecting the commercial and the industrial interests of the prople ought never to be made unless impera tively demanded by some public emer- gency ; and in my opinion, under exist- ing circumstances, such changes would not be favorably received by any con-id- erable number of those who bave given gerious attention to the subject. [A - plause.] Many reforms are undoubtedly necessary and it will be your duty, after a careful examination of the who sub- ject in all its bearings, 10 decide how far they should extend and when and in what manner they should be made. [A» plause.] If there be any (who fear that your action on this or any other subject will actually be injurious to any interest, or even afford reas mable cause for »larm, I am quite sare that théy will be agree- ably disappointed. [Applause.] What the country has a right to expect is strict economy in the administration of every department of the government, just and equal taxation for public purposes, a thifial observance of the limitations of the Constitution, and a scrupulous regard for the rights and interests of the great body of the people. il op hos The Grant pole that “A.

The New York Herald, ind: We no- tice a disposition in certain republican quarters to sound the alarm of the “sec tionalism” in connection with the result of the Speakership contest and to tr at the lection of Mr, Carlisle as a danger ous triumph of the “solid South.” The Tribune, for instance said, “Democracy, then, means Mr. Carlisle—that is, it is a southern and not a Northern party. The Nat. Republican, of Washington speaks in the same vein, “The election,” it says, “clearly shows that democrat success now means Southeran and no matter who is put forward and elected as their representative the fruits of their victory must necessarily inun o the section which rebelled twenty years ago.” Other republican organsg might be quoted to the same effect. This attempt to raise a se tional issue out of the choice for Speaker finds ne support or color in its factsand characte of the contest. On the contrary, the ele tion of the Southern man in the perso of Mr. Carlisle is, under the circumstan ces, to be hailed as one of the most en couraging political signs of the day. Mr Carlisle was not elected because he has » Southern policy in any sectional sense In the choice of Bpeaker and in the (is cussion which preceded the choice n¢ prominence was given to any BUCCESS sectiona consideration, nor was any importance a tached to the fact that candidats was from the South and the rest from the Norih. The consideration which con, trolled ! ot the one all others tarifl’ issue, with the conviction in the minds of a large waajority of representative demo was crats that this is by far the most impor tent problem that now confronts statesmanship of the nation. +} wit Mr. Carlisle believed that the interest. of the country demand a wise, judicious tariff reform, and that the democrati He openly and bravely, on that platform. His candidac) represented a principle. an af firmative, active, not negative, do nothing, evasive one. It was party ought to undertake that work. took a firm stand, squarely, t meant man'y a Pp ii Y, because he stood for these things, sud 1 $s all the because he had in a high deg ther qualific oe ations for the ¢. that he was the choice of the majority for Speak- er. An analysis of the caucus vote reveals also an encouraging sign in the Southern States, Of Mr. Randall's fifty-two votes, twenty, or nearly half, were given him Southern while two southern States gave one vi by nine States, ite each to alr. Cox. Of eighty-three Southern votes Mr. Carlisle got but sixty-one, or about turee fourths, This indicates nota solid put a divided South, It proves that the South is not disposed to vote as a unit for a man simply because he is a South: erner. In view of these considerations the fact that Mr. Carlisle is a Southerne: wakes his election a matter of national congratulation. It shows that the has come whea one of the great political parties no longer hesitates to take a rep resentative from the South for one of the most important offices in the nation when the right sort of man is found in the South. It shows that a Southern man i» not shut out from high places simply be. cause he happens to be a Southerner. 8 far from affording any occasion for reviv- ing the iill-timed cry of “sectionalism,” it shows a dying of sectional feeling and an obliteration of sectional lines. It show: that the country is becoming more na turalized politically. And it is high time that this desirable result should be brought about. We rej ice that a good Southern man has been elevated to a leading position in the national govern- ment by a combined Northern and South- ern vote.

Thompson, Sam’l Gilliland, Wm M'Farlane, Fred’k Kurtz and Wm. Wolf, had a meeting with a select committee of the Penn’a directors in Philad. this week, which we trust will resalt in a de. cision for the completion of our road. In fact, the latter have already as good as promised to proceed with the extension “immediately.” There is no room for hemming and hawing any lcnger about the wrong done our people in regard to our ro»d. The Penn'a R, R. compsny is abundantly able, and in honor bound to do our people justice. They understand the situation fully by thistime, and there can be no excuse for delay upon any ground whatever. The committee will be firm in their demand, and will leave nothing undone on their part to hasten the completion of our railroad. Those fellows who said the Pennsy] vania legislature would never adjourn will now own that they are not in line with the prophets, twist OR oS NO RAILROAD.

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE SOUTH. Mr. Eaton Examines Biack and White Office Seckers, | Wasnmaron, Dec. 1. Civil Bervios Com missioner Eaton has returned to Washington froma trip to North Carolina and South Carolina, where he has been holding exami natsons in order that the quotas of employes due to those states in the various depart ments may be filled. The first examication held in North Carolina took place in Raleigh on Nov. 28, and the first in South Carolina was beld in Columbia four days later. In both places ladies were among the competitors, and from one fourth to ome third of all those who were examined were colored, Mr. Eaton was somewhat curious about the result of having blacks and whites compete, and at Raleigh, where the exam- ination was held in the court house, he had a number of tables provided, so that the two races might be separated if they desired. He was a good deal surprissd when he entered the room to find white men and colored men sitting sido by side as if all were of one race. The same was true of the examination at Columbia. At the latter place one of the competitors was the son of a lawyer who was very promivent before and during the war as a pro-slavery advocate, Beside him sat a black man of about the same age, who was born a slave and who had educated hime wolf. Each was examined in the five subjects for the higher grade, and were occupied be tween five and six hours, In two of the five subjects the negro passed a better examina tion than his white brother, and the two fin- ished their work within eight minutes of each other. Commissioner Eaton is well pleased with the result of the examinations as a whole, In Monor of an Actor, Bosrox, Dec. 1.--The Boston theater was cked At the testimonial benefit to Joseph roctor on the semi-centenvial of his adop tion of the stage.
