Washington News and Gossip. Oonoress To-Day—ANOTHER RECESS TILL Octongr 16TH.—Contrary to general expecta- tion, a larger proportion of the Senate than of the House were here this morning. Thirty- nine Senators were known to be here at eleven o'clock. whileonly ninety-nine Representatives had been beard trom at that hour. It was deemed certain that the half-past ten train would bring enough io make up the reqaired number for a quorum in the House. The Republican Senaiots were in caucus from about half-past ten till nearly twelve o'clock. When the Senate assembled at noon a quorum was found to be present, and Mr. Anthony offered the resolution for a further Fecess agreed to in caucus, and similar to that adopicd in the House, (referred to velow:) which was adopted, and a recess of fifteen minutes was taken to await the action of the House. The floor of the House was crowded, as is asual on the busiest days of a rezular se-sion. The Speaker calicd the House to order, and Prayer wes ojfered by Chapiair. Boynton. The Speaker haying announced the terms of the last adjournment, Mr. Schenck at once offered a resolution fora :urther recess, similar im terms to the previous one, providing for another meeting on the 6th day of October next and then, unless otherwise ordered, authorizing the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate to .urther adjourn the two Houses uatil the loth of November, and irom that day in the same manuer tll the reguirr sessionin De- cember. This was carried without division, Mr. Schenck then offered a resolation that the rules may be suspended at any time during the rems‘nder of the session of the Fordeth Congres. Mr. Brooks (N. b 2) objec'-d. Mr. Schenck thea offered a resola- tion that the Commntce on Pablic Expendi- tures inquire why the supervisors of internal revenue provided by the recent tax law have not been appointed; whether any officers of the Government are trying to defeat the law, &c., with power to sit during the recess. This was also objected to, and the question raised that no business could be done withoat a quorum. The roll was called, and there were # affirmative and 2 negative votes. The Senate meanwhile, having decided im eaueus upon the resolution offered by Mr. Schenck, had passed itand seat it to the House, and had nothing to do but await the concurrence of that body. Mr. EL Wesbburne moved @ call of the House. Several Demoerats were in the hall, but declined to vote, As the call proceeded th» Democrats left the Hall except Mr. Randall, who remained to ob- sect, should the Hons» undertake to do anything by unanimons consent. Roll cali being fiaished the doors were closed and the roll of absentees wes called for excuses, Mes-rs. Brooks, Eld- ridge and others now occupied seats upon the souas, but did pot answer to theif names. As the eall of absentres continued, varoas mem. bers were excusrd on aceonst of sickness, The Senate having rers embled and acted upon the original resolmtion of the Hon > which was posed before the question of a quorum bad been raised, a motion was carmed that the remainder of the call be dis- Pensed with. The doors were thea opeaed, and @ message from the Sen ue r ved, an- bouncing the concurrence of the Senate in the House revolution. The Speaker tnen deciarct the House adjourned until the ith day of Oc- tober next. The Senate, iu the meanume, had adjourn<d until the same day.

A possible dtaw-back may bethe number of railroad trams screamiag Past hoprly, As something over one hundred trains pess daily over ibis road, (Penrsylvania Central,) and as the engine whistles on this line seem to be particularly able-bodied, there might besuch a thing a3 a trifle too much of such music for quiet health-seekers. This road deservedly ranks bigh among the raifroads of the country. From the excellent manner in which it is ballasted, and the improvement® adopted for excluding” smoke, ciuders, and dust from the cars, the journey over it is performed with much more satisiuction than almost any other rod within our krowledge. Onfnear- ing Pittsburg web gan to meet evidences that all the Pittsburgers are not enamored of coai- smoke. At Eest Liber:y, flve miles from Pittsburg whole squads of pepper-boxy cottages, with <ome really haudscme yiil.-, are going up as surburban residences for wealthy iron-tound- ers and coal dealers of Pitt-burg. The beauti- fal wooded, and verdure-cied hills ia the of Pitteburg stford unsurpassed sites for surburban residences, and the oaly wonder is that the Pitteburgers bays not improved them ere th is, Pittsburg. Passing East Liberty, and the sacceedi Tange of hills piererd with coal-mines, ¥. presently dash into a bank of blinding choking smoke, and know that we are im ~—«- Pitfzourg. Tos smoke-pxll that hangs over Piitsburg has o.ten been des- cried, but no words ean do it fall justice- Parton, who has written con amore concerning the bleckness of darkness of Pittsburg, de- scribes one of the foggy black days there when there being no wind to drive away the smolts issuing from five hundred hoge chumueys, the deep chaem in whieh Pitsburg lies was fall of it; aud the black expanse being now and then dimly lighted with dull wreaths of fire pre- sented afull and undoubted likeaess té—hell wath the lid off! The true son of Pittsburg insists that the smoke so far from being an evil ‘ea blessing; that it kills malaris and being a sureshade and a color-subdwer raves theeye- sight. He contends that smoke is an evil oaly tothe imagination, and that it destroys every ich is hosts ge fe gh Preemie of them in Pittsburg, it is requisite to keep gas burnmg all over the city, but the coal to make gas is so cheap in Pitisburg ibat they don’t mind that. When the fifty-four billions of tons of bituminous coal underlying the hills about Pittsburg have been used up, the Pitts- burghers will see the necessity of economizing in the matter of gas; bat as the supply will, it is estemated, last the country some thousands of years they do mot seem (© appreciate any immediate occasion for houghtfalness om that score. Pittsburg wants to be the National Uapital Every now and then she puts in au apparently serious claim to that effect. St Louis, next to Pittsburg the mbst smoke-begrimed place on the Continent, is another candidate for the Capitolship. What 1s there about biteminous coalesmoke that makes those who breathe it put om sneb sirs? There mast certainly be some hasheesh glamor abont it, ciusing those intoxicated by it to see all the colors of the rainbow in the sooty atmosphere. They must think this smoky atmosphere, where gas-ligat is needed at noon-day, just the place to legis. late im, Perhaps they havea theory that the smoke will be @ preservative agtiast official corruption. Perhaps they propose to smoke. curse our Presidents, Cabmet offi ors, and Con. gressmen as they would beefor hams. On any ower theory it is difficult to account for this hallucination of the Pittsburg an Louis smokers on the Capital question. Butaside from this little tlighiiness on the score of fituess for Oap‘toluie honors the paos ple ot Pittsburg are thoroughly practical and rational, The business ectivity displayed here is wonderful, snd that such an entergetic briving people should ever wash to be saddled wih a National Capital, ard to be put under the palsying avd enervating influences rating at a politieal Capital 1s iraly surprising. Leaving Pittsburg by the Fort Wayne aud Chicago Railroad we skirt down the Obio for twenty miles or more enjoys apg the extreme beauty of the landscape as bounded by the picturesque range of hills on the opposite bank of the river. Whe-her from moist skies or a late season the verdure and to- Mage is grcen and fresh as that of June.
