Gorham. the new Secretary of the Senate, ‘Was sworn im to-day and entered upon the dis- cba@rge of his duties. He is youthful in ap- pearance, but has the reputation of being a fing executive officer, and from his manner aad bearing will doubtless fill the position very acceptably. On taking charge of the office to-day be made ® handsome little speech to the clerks, telling them that he contemplated no change, as be tound them all to be experienced, competent officers, and the machinery of the office was m excellent running condition. Should it get Tugty he might need to make repairs. Golonel Forney, who bas taken great pains to give his successor every facility in entering upon his duties, was present this merning to see him anducted into his official duty, and afterwards left for Philadelphia on business. ‘Phe only vacancy in the office, we believe, is that of Financial Clerk, and Mr: Gorham has pele signified whom he will placein that po- sition. Those baving business at the Secretary's office will be glad to learn that the new Secre- tary does not contemplate making changes there, as the present clerks, by their courtesy, experience, and ability, have given unexcep- tionable satisfaction, so far as we are aware, THESITUATION AT THE CariToL.—The warm wenther bas at last set in atthe National Capi- tal, and already the subject df adjournment has commenced to be talked about. Af- ter three days debate on the new tax bill it is evident that it will be impossible to get the House to remain in session long enough to Pass it, and even in case this should b¢ dome there is not the slightest probability that she Senate could pass it without devoting three or four weeks in debating and amending it, When it would go back to the House again for concurrence in such amendments. It is the opimion of well informed Senators that it will take at least two months of ¢ldse attention to get this bill through the Senate and House, and there is &@ decided feeling among members of both branches against remaining in session for this length of time. In view of this, it is thought, that in a few days special clauses will be taken out of the bill Whuch relate principally to tax on whisky and tobacco, and passed; and then allow the main portion of the bill go over until next session. Soon after the House assembled to-day, 4 Tesolution was passed for the Speaker to tender the Chinese Embassy a lie reception in the Hallot the House on Tuesday morning next at ft o'clock. It was agreed that ther® be no session of the House this evening. S.uiGHTLY Muxzp.—At or near Xenta, there is an educational institution called Wil- betforce University, which 1s controlled by colored men, and in the interest and tor the education of the colored race. Au appeal for funds bas Iately been made by its trustees, and, a8 evidence of the good character of the University and ite managers, the following numed gentlemen, among others, are referred to:—Chief Justice Chase, Hon. C. L. Vallan- digham, Hon. B. F. Butler, President Johnsen, General Grant, Hon. S. S. Cox, Hon. C. D. Drake, and Hon. A G. Thurman. Politics have the credit of making strange bed fellows, but we doubt whether they have ever yet succeeded in forming # combination like wnat, Ir -1e STATED by the friends of Senator Grimes that it is the intention of that gentle- man to enter suit against the New York Tribwn: and Cincinnati Gazette for libel. The suit Against the former will be bused upon a charge in the Tribune that he yoted for the acquittal of the President under corrupt influences, and Sgaumst the latter on a charge that he was guilty of corruption while Chairman of the Committe on Naval Affairs during and sinc» the late war Conoruss To-pay.—The omnibus recon- struction bill came up in the Senate as soon as that body assembled to-day, and bids fair tobe depated all day without coming to vote.

At that hour the House resumed Consideration of the tax bill Tux Waite House.—The crowd of visitors atthe Executive Mansion to-day was very large, nearly all of whom were admitted to see the President.

This Afternoon’s Proceedings, ——— See SATURDAY, June 6, SENATE.—Phe oath of office was administered to the Rew Secretary, George C. Gornam, of California. The bill to admit North Carolina and other States to representation in was taken up, the question being on the amendment of T. Wilson to include Alabama. Mr. Sumuer referred to the lett@® of Gov Perry, of South Carolina, quoted yesterday Mr. Doolittle as Union authority, and read from the Charleston Mercury of December, 164, toshow that Mr. Perry was s rebel commis- sioner of improvement. Six months after that | date the President had appointed tis man as Governor of Sowth Carolina, and for this act he ought to have been impeached, aud the House bad failed in its duty in mot impeaching bim at that ime been opposed to secession. Mr. Sumner considered that as very anim- portant, Alexander H. Stepheus was also op- oxed to secession, but that made him more the jess a traitor. Mr. Doolittle said they were forced to go With the majority of their States.
