Heuer we find Congress unable to organize.— There is no dispute that the opponents of the Demoeratte party are in a large majority; and it i., equa;!y clear that there is also a majority of tbuse wtiv owe their election to the "wool they pulled Lair the eyes - of the people; still they ,•hrink from now planting themselves upon that platform ezeiusfvely Uy electing a Speaker like BANKS HENRY M FULLER, of this State, is a notable example He wu elected on the wool issue, as his own friends contend, but no sooner •loee Le turn Lis longing eyes to the Capitol, than he sees the Speaker's Chair dimly in the distance; but he knows that on the platform upon lueb he was elected, the ground is already oc cupied; hence he must search out some other avenue to reach it. Turning his eyes therefore from "Sand's'," he encounters those of "Sam." -Sam' winks and points to the 12th section of toe Puiltuielphia platform. Henry shakes his .kad, and points to his woolly pledges. "Sam," nothing daunted, points to Henry's old profes sions—such as protection to American industry —river and harbor improvements--distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, and the va rious other questions which used to be the stock in trade of Pennsylvania politicians. Henry wavers; he looks once more at the Capitol; the Speaker's chair is more tempting; besides, some of the papers in his district have even named him for President, and the first step to that ex• alted position, he thinks, may be the Speaker's chair The temptation is great; even greater men than HENRY M Fta.Lxit have been lured from a better platform than wool by less exalted aspirations. is it any wonder then that Henry yields—that he kicks the Seward, and the Gree ley, and the Pollock platform from under him, and sets up for himself upon one of "National timber," with an anti-Popery brace here, a "damn the Irish" brace there; and a very weak "admission of Kansas, slavery or no slavery" brace wherever it requires strengthening. We say, is it any. wonder that Henry yields—that he betrays hie last love, and returns to his first, now dressed out in new finery, and temptingly beautiful by the light of sr "dark lantern?" Not at all; he is only following the teachings of that political rtnriality taught in the woolly school. That morality is that success is every thing, the means nothing As the careful father told his ion: "Get money, my son, honestly if you can; but get it at any rate." So with the woolly school of politics—succeed upon principle if you can, but it not, succeed any how. Don't stop at the means or the price; even if that price is the, sundering of the bonds of union, and the destruction of the Constitution: Are we mis representing the anti-Nebraska majority in Coo. gress, in this expose of their course? Not at all, as the following from the New York Courier and Ent a paper strongly in that interest, fully shows Sass the Courier and Enquirer, in speaking of the non-organization of 'Con gress— "Sow where lies the responsibility/ Where there is a will, and yet a failure, there must be a hindrance What is that hindrance? It is two-fold First, is the dog-in-the-manger of votes—that class which cannot themselves elect, and will not stiffer others to elect—that class which figures under the head of mattering. These votes, varying in number from ten to twenty, are kept back from the real candidates before the House, and thrown about almost at random as personal whims and caprice may sug gest Those who give these votes are not a tarty or even a clique. There is no common characteristic feeling among them that we can disc over—or at least if there is, it is nothing else than s very lively consciousness of self-im portance These men do not act from principle, or s..lemn sense of duty; the very fact that they so continually shift names--that their votes are but a succession of phantasmagoric changes— sufficiently shows this. The other sort of hin drance is more respectable, though still, we be lie.ve, under the circumstances, inexcusable. We mean those who support a candidate, who is the acknowledged representative of a certain type of political sentiment, and yet that type of only secondary consequence, and of very limited ex tent There are, in fact, legitimately, but two great political categories in die House—the Ne braska men and the anti-Nebraska men, and the choice of Speaker ought therefore to be made primarily with a reference to this distinction. The Nebraska men have acted loyally and con sistently in this regard. They have put forward for their candidate a member who, more than any other, was responsible for the passage of the Nebraska Bill through the House,and they have adhered to him in one unbroken front firmly from the outset. But the anti-Nebraska men hauacted with no such singleness of purpose. Formuch of the time they have had three dis tinct candidates, and for all the time at least two; and it is the division of their strength be tween Mr. BANKS and Mr. PULLILIt that now prevents the election of either. SiostricANT.—The telegraph dispatches &mu Washington of the 20th, state that the prospect of Bank's election are stronger than - aver, and they significantly add, "Mr. Fuller's nationalism has killed him." In other words, Banks is to succeed because he is the candidate of sectional ism, while Fuller is shelved because he dares to stand upon a national platform!

If you have never seen Greeley and wish to get an idea of his shape, just imagine the two hind legs of a Dromedary encased in men's clothing, a pale yellow pumpkin for a head, and the feet encased in boots big enough for an Elephant. "He has no hair on the top of his head, in the place where the hair ought -to grow," but a whitish yellow fringe runs around from ear to ear. He looks like a coun• tryman of an inquiring turn of mind on his first visit to the capital, but is far more awkward and ungainly than most people from town or roan try. A distinguished Freesoiler has said the 'I North wants "backbone " Greeley has re-echo ed the sentiment. The remark applies to Hor ace himself, though not precisely in the-sena. in which it has been applied to the North. He goes lumbering along the Avenue, with his hat stuck on the back of his neck—where his backbone would begin if he had any—his bead down, and his arms thrust to the elbows in the pockets of his old white coat. See him thus, and you would not bid six cents fur him at public wile., but hear him talk, and however strongly you may condemn his sentiments, you will admit that there is marrow in the bones of that pale yellow head of his PERRY At the adjournment of the House yesterday, notice was given that a meeting of the "Anti-Ad ministration" members would take place in the evening The design was to "harmonize conflict ing interests," and so to get hold of the flesh pots of the House to-day. The meeting took place pursuant to notice, and was very well at tended. The participants had a lively time of it; they mounted each other, axe in hand, and chop ped away with right good will, making the chips fly in all directions! A number withdrew from the meeting, and those who remained failed ut terly to block out a plan whereby the House might be organized without further delay. The House met at the usual hour to-dap I 2 o'clock—when various propositions for orgiris ing were submitted and received with roars of laughter! There was some sharp sparring be tween several members, which afforded a good deal of amusement to the spectators and gave rise to no unpleasant feeling between the actors. John Wheeler, of New York, defined his posi tion—past, present and prospective—in a rather prosy speech He denied that he wanted to be Speaker, but said the House "might go farther and fare worse," for which information the House gave him a tremendous guffaw! Mr. English, of Ind' ilia, made an earnest speech, throwing the responsibility of the failure to organise upon the majority, and insisting that the Democratic side of the House was not to blame. Father Giddings responded that if the Demo crats would just march out of the hall, the ma jority could elect a Speaker on the first ballot: This unique suggestion"brought down the house:" A tall, well dressed, clerical looking gentle man, in a fall suit of black, including black gloves, and whose name I do not know, proposed that the North should select a Speaker from the South, or the South select one from the North. You may bet all the money you have out at ill :crest in the hands of delinquent subscribers, that this proposition was received with a shout. Messrs. Marshall, of Kentucky; Letoher and McMullen, of Virginia, and others, participated in the discussions evoked by various propositions looking to a speedy election of Speaker. Mr. McMullen promised to submit a plan of compro mise on Monday. Two ballots were taken, both of which result ed as follows: For Banks, 105; for Richardson, 74; for Faller, 40; and about a dozen scatter ing. The House then adjourned; and thus en deth the second week of the session, in which the Glst ballot has been taken without effect. PERRY.

Our city philanthropists are looking up the sorrows of the poor omnibus horses, just now. They have been falling down upon the slippery Russ pavement, all summer, at the rate of two hundred a day, and have to grin and bear it un til the election returns were settled. Broadway is now to be chiselled out in grooves, over its length and breadth, so that the horses can get a foothold for their hoofs. What a pity that some of the hard hearts of the great human pave, that each days traffic lays down on the sidewalks, could not be chiselled out to give footholds for the toiling and suffering How silently, but surely, the net work of the telegraph wire is spreading over our land. The wild forest and the high mountain top are star tled with the tall, naked, half-humanity of its poles. The country village has a new institu tion, and the village telegraph office will soon kick the old Poet Office out of doors, along with the stages and mail bags of our fathers.

I must have a room somewhere lower down." Gen. Cass, (interposing, and nervously)—Sir, you are mistaken in the person you address. I am General (,'au, uj Michigan. Stranger, (confusedly)—"Beg your pardon, General Cass—thought it was my old friend Guy. Beg a thousand pardons, Sir. All a mistake, I assure you, Sir." The General passed out of the building, but soon returned, and as luck would have it, the stranger met him at full face again, but in an other position. This time he was sure he had mine host, for the Senator from Michigan be knew had just gone out. So stranger stepped boldly np, slapped the General heartily and fa miliarly on the shoulder, exclaiming. "By hea venal Guy, I've got a rich sell to relate. I met old Cass up stairs, just now, thought it was you, and began cursing him about my room " General Cara, (with emphasis)—"Well) young man, you're mell'old Cass again."
