OF THE YEAR, ‘WasrINGTON, Fob, 25.—There waa by odds the largest number of people collected inside the walls of the House of Represcntatives to-dsy that has been seen ddring the past ten yoars, and abasttor dressed and more intelligont or a better bohaved crowd was never collected to- gother. The larger portion was made up of Indies, who filled and overran the galleries de- yoted to them, until there was no part of the galleries where tho ribbons and feathers of fash- ion wore not to bo seen. Even the galleries for colored loafers showed a eprinkling of handsome women. Thora was soarcely any of tha colored element prosent to-day. Notf only wero the galleries packed to that point of full: ness where the constant snd relentless pressuro becomes painfal, but the corridors outside wero 50 full that it was almost impossible to makea thoroughfare through them. The Ospitol was alive with hundreds of people who could nob aln admission. To sccommodate tho vast finong, the House, by unanimous consent, threw open its doors, and in ton minutes the floor was filled; the oloak-rooms wera ocoupled, and the Iadies prossed down and down, until they filled half tho seats belonging to membors. Tho reporters’ gallery waa also appropriated to their use, and the use of half s hundred persons in the varionn walks of life, but cortainly not as re- orters. There were hotel-keepers, tatlors, bar- {ondeu, lobby agents, and every other sort of soplo who necured an entrance, nobody knows ow, and they were not elow to np&f;prhw the seats of the regular reportors. e day was lansant, and the ladies, espocially thoze on the oor, wore bright colora in thoir “hats, and the scono as viewed from the gallerles rosembled the suditorium of sn immense theatre, BUBINESS COMMENOES. The first move of tho *whitowashers” was the prayer of the Chsplain, who hoped all transgroasions would be forgiven. The resdin; of a long journal followed, while the orow busied thomsaelyes in picking out the prominent characters on the floor. Just as Mr. Poland waa ahant to take the floor, a drunken membar from Pennsylvania came reeling down one of the atalos, and attempted to catoh the Speakor's oye. In a maudlin voice ho cried * Mr. Bpoaker |” two or three times, -.lthoufl: Oox, Kerr, and othera tried o induoe him to fake hif seat. Finally tho Speaker asked him to state for what purpose ho arose, and in a half-intolligible tone he stut- tored out something to the offeot that ho wanted the floor cleared. He seomed to be ignorant of the fact] that the House had agroed to a motion to give the ladies the privilege of tho floor durin, the discussion. Ho is the samo momber who sat. in his soat for somo time yesterdsy in his ghirt- sleevos, and with & plaid shawl tied round his loins, He Las becn a nuisanco in the Houso for three or four yoars, but happily is not ro-clected to the next Congress. The firat move of Butler was to postpono the Oredt Mobilier sub- foct, and go to work on the Appro- priation bill, but he was not successful, and a good deal of confusion followed. Poland then came down a fow paces, and presonted himself to the gaze of the multitude, shiniag in brasa buttons, volvet collar, and rufled t. He was an object of. tion. Butler then offored s nubstitute for the Committec's reso- lution, reociting the fact that the offenscs of the members wora committed more than five years 2go; that the membors could not be oxpelled for what ocourred before the present Qongress, and that, if bribory had beon commited, tho prosecution should go to the courts, ‘. Blngham made & point of order. Fernando ‘Wood eald a fow words as to the time raquired. Poland said he had not yielded to Butler, and would not Accopt his substitute, and then order was restored. The gelleries buzzed and flut- tered for n moment ; a few coughs and throat- clearings were sounded, and then all was settled down to perfaot quietness. Then Poland stepped forward again ; looked lpproflnily at the gal- lerios, and began his long Bposch, beginning in Iow, guttnral tones, and pronouncing evory word with & loog_pause ‘atter it, a4 though it waa of the greatest significance. akes Amos sat in & front seat, with his ha- bitual indolent and heavy expression of face aud form, holding in his hand, liko a vico, s small ackige of proot-elips, ‘Lhis was his pposcs 'resently lg Brooks came pushing elf through tho sisle, looking mora like a dead man than like tho fine-looking moembor from Now York of » year ago, He ehowed groat fatigue and weaknass, and the opinion was frequontly oxproseod that he wonld not live many montha, utler, during the long epeech of Poland, wes busy with his pen. Tfio srgumont was woll drain for the side of tho case he had taken, and tho sponkor soemed to havo the wholo case thoroughly in his mind, but throughout it was vory evident ho has the bappy fac! of_boing tha driest epeskor on the floor of the House, When ho had but cighteon minutes of his hour loft, Lo becamo a little more animated, but the sudionca was tired of him. Whut was thoir con- stornation thon to have the same mombor riso and proposs to give bhim hall an hour more! A look of sorrow and sufforing ran through tho galleriea ay Lo bogan on Lis extra titno, Sandwiches and apples were in ront demand among the audionce at this time, gnr 1t was almost 2" o'clock, and nunrli all had beon in the Capitol since 10 o'clock, The half hour finally passed a\\'n{' Homo ous, eithor for joka or & pleco of malice, moved that Poland bo glven o half nour more. This was too much for the House of Representatives, and a dozon members ‘mt in & few words during tho cou- fusion 88 to what was to be tho division of the timo. Tolsnd oald ko was willing that both nides should be hoard. He anted to divide the timo, ha said. Butler spoke up sbarp and quidle:s “The gontloman aots ss though ho wanted to divide otornity,” andn st Iaugh followed from all sides, 'Then Po- [and said he did not want more time, and after a ;};urt parley tho statosman from Vermont took 8 noat. Then there was s good deal of buzsing and’ confusion, and_a hundred mombors wore on their fest, a dozen of thom naddrossing the 8poaker, Among thom was Mr. Ames, who, during. his ten yoars' sorvico in ,Con- gross, pmblhllvl nover addressed & dozon words “to the Houso bofors -he was recoguized, and in a acarcoly audible voice do- | -ngceriained thab it wan Jamos Brooks, . sired to offer his remarks, and roquested that they bo read by tho Clork, The Houso instantl, becamo sl Soonthe Olerk proceeded to reng Mr. Ames' speech;, There was littlo in i, ox- sapt a vory lngoious argument In fajor of the Unlon Paalilo, oad. 1t was capitally read by the Clork, who gayo it all the forco nn({ emphe~- sla pounmo. ft ‘was rathor dull ab but toward the Iast it ran into fertile fields.

It ,nlarz made sevoral vory. good law polnta, It was oarly scon that it was not the composi- tion of the */ groat briber,” and it has since beon written by Mr. Mr.-Pop- Sloton, the Union Pacifio Railway sttorney at mahia. With the well-trainod voice of BMcPher- son as an adjunot, the address was rather, pathetio in that portlon which referred to tho old agoe of 08, useful lifs, his previous good charactor, and his publio services.: Such Wiaa the effect of the Olerk's reading that tho “o0ld man” at this point was quite overoomo with emotion, and shed tears, ‘ehanihll speoch was finishod {t was apparent. that the sympathy- of the audienco was with Onakes-Ames an Farnaworth waa tho next to be scoorded the floor. . His argument was not an argument, but & commonplacs spoech, having somo good pointa in fayor of Ames and Brooks, but by no means worthy of the man. - At balf-past 3,"Judge Merrick, of Maryland, a member of the Poland Committoe, took the floor and before ho liad procseded a guarter of an hour, it was discovered that the House had underrated him. Ho is & new member, and, owing to his modesty, has taken' little part in the discussions of the Honse, - -His apeeoh of .| courss sustained the xagortnt the Committee, and was by odds the best of the dsy. Ha showed himself to be s very strong man. He uguh of the dealings of Ames as being a result - of Batantio ‘skill, and his excoriation of Brooks, a follow-Democrat, was magnificent. - Ho was frequently in“m'fifi' but_came off viotor in, every encounter. speoch throughout was a calm, cloar, logical, well-balanced and sharply drawn Inpf argument,: and was the subject of Renoral praise. - When he closed there was great excitement on the floor, and a storm and roar of mllflg:lod voicea and sounds camoe from the gallerion. . A short dobate came up on the Lonisiana question, and after an ovening session for de- bato only had been decided on, the House ad- Jjourned, and the great crowd melted away from the Chamber. 7 The evening session, with fairly belted galla- rlos, was given up to-tho light weights, with Msl{ura, of Pennsylvanis the Ohair, Butler, and Voorhees, and Bingham, and all the heavy welghts, will speak to-morrow. 8 1t is very ovident that neither Brooks or Ames ' will be expelled. A voto of censure inay be passed on all, Lut it {s more probabls that the wholo subjact will be 1aid on the table, B AGRIOULTURAL COLLEGES. § Tho Agrioultural Collego bill haa boen sent, by the action’of the SBenate, to a Conference Com- ' mittes, which means defest for it. v OALDWELL.

After a tow epesches had. been. dolivered, thia matter dropped as suddenly as it had beon taken up, and, by :dyo. and nay voto, tha Benate dooided to proceed with the College’ bill, in preforence to all pending measures. Thoe main object of the President's visit to the Qspitol, yestordsy, in company with Atiorney- Gener: sms, was for the purposs of con- sulting with the Sonate Committee on Privil- eges nnd Elections, ‘relative to the, pm'mmiuon of Gen. Dick Taylor for compro- mising the existing political troubles in Louls- ians. The President called the attention of. the Committes to the Erotrutna dissension jn that Btate, and urgod the nocossity of mome action. being taken to heal the breach between the op-, Younsfwfinnn. The proposition of Gen. ’.l‘n{; or wus then laid before the Committoo for the) oconsideration, 1t does nat soom clear that, Gon. Taylor is empowered to act but for the MoEnery faction, yot he is confident that his roposition, if indorsed by the Execniive and ongress, will bo accoptable to_both factions, a8 thoy aro. both opposed to the idea of holding a new eloction. There is good rea- son to bolieve that Gen. Taylor's plan of com- romiso moets with favor from the Administra~ ion, and, it accoptablo to Oongress, will no doubt haston & spoedy solution of the Yioulsiana muddle, and be the means of restoring peace and quiet to that much-distracted Btate, and re- lieve the country from the susponse to such a critical state of affairs, Taylor's pmggultlon is that tho legal clection bs turned over to the Re- turning Board declared to be the h%fi Board by tho Suprems Qourt of the State,—the ¢ Lyn« Board,”—for them_to canvass, and the parties nacertained to be duly elsoted by such roturns shall be declarcd to constitute the legal Btate Government. 3 AN EXTRA SESSION. It s now conceded on all sides that the Benate, by its dilatory action of the Eut fow days, has made an oxira session unavoldable. DEPARTMENTAL POBTAGE. The estimates of the soveral dopartments of tho Government for the amount of money nec- eguary to carry out the propositions of the law abolishing tho franking privilego have been re- celved by the House Committes on Aj pro;g—ll- tions. It is shown that the departments, which includo, aa is well known, all the bureaus, and all the oivil, military, snd naval of- ficors in _the Government, exoept mem- ‘bera of Congress, will requirs $2,250,000 to pay their postage durlng the approaching fiscal yoar. What Congresa ltsel! require bas not Yot been determined. PAGITIO MATL. The Ways and Means Oommittes began, to- day, the examination of witnesses on the Paciflo Mafl aubsidy.
