The mode of electing now, in both Houses. shy ballot, and 80 it has been ever since the formation of the Government. At the last election of Printer for the House, the present printers were elected in oppusitiOn to the Editor of the Cube, by a majority of one, and the latter Editor conlpnt:ed that he re. ceived sufficient nN:nber of votes to elect him, and that there was n,iscOunt or some other mistake or trick in the transaction. 1t is also. suppose, suspected that many me,n- bPrs, or some at least, would vote One way ciU0 voce and another way by ballot.

 It was a party question, and therefore en. gagged the whole energies even of the lisiless and indUlsnt.

Every motion to pro ceed t0 the OTders Ofthe day, or 10 adjourn, was rejected. ard full House heinz obtained, the call was suspended aod the engagement commenced. A n,o,iun to fay the resolution on the table was made and the qnesti"n being taken by yeas aud nays, was determined in the negative. yeas 10l. nays llg. Among the attirtnatives were q good many of the While men, which is a sympionl of defeciion in the regular ranks.

 The debate. which was very animated, was conducted by Messrs. Fillmore. Hardin, Gil. mer and Briggs. in opposition to the resoln- tinn, and Messrs. Reynolds. Mckinley and Miller, in it's favor. At four o'clock the dis. cussion becoming every moment more ear. nest. and there being no likelihood of obtain. ing the question to-day. the House adjourned.
