From our regular correspondent. representative Tom Reed, of Maine, will be the next Speaker of the House of Eepresentatives, at least that is what I have just been told by a prominent republican who is usually well posted on the inBide news of his party. He says that the coolness which has existed between Blaine and Reed for several years has been all fixed up, and that Blaine's influence will be thrown for him. This, he says, was brought about by Quay, Clark-son and other leaders in the party, who have decided that Reed is the only one of the candidates for the speakership whose partisanship is strong enough to make him decide in favor of his party on every contested occasion, and owing to the narrow majority they will have in the House only such a man will fill the bill.

Therefore it has been decided that the caucus should nominate Reed. Congressman "Sunset" Cox is in this city whiling the time away farm. Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson are enjoy.
