Late on Saturday afternoon the New York delegation in Congress held a meeting and decided not to present Mr. Cox’s uameas a candidate for Speakersbip. A committee waited upon Mr. Cox and informed him of the action of his colleagues, and he withdrew from the race. Subsequently the delegation again met and resolved to vote asaunil. A ballot was then taken, and with theexception of LWO votes the preference of the delegation was tor Randall, and the support of the en- lire delegation was then decided to be given tohim. This action leaked out before the caucus met, which drove all the weak-kneed and the trimmers to Randall's support. There are various speculations as to the sure length of the session. Members who re- side in states having elections in November are anxious that the session shall be shor:, but those living in states without elections are not in such a ane . The standing conimittees of the House will rotbe announced for several days, except the committee on appropriations. Randall, it 1s unders'ood, will antounce this committee to morrow, 60 that it can get to Work at once. Hiester Clymer will be the airman. itis reported that Speaker Randall will name Fernando ‘Wood’ as chairman of the oo of ways and means, vice Morri- ning be nucceeded b; of Michigan, as chair man of the mililary committee, and will be gyn war claims; that either J. Rando; ‘ucker. of Virginia, or Hinton, of the same state, will me the judiciary committee.

The buzz of vo like that of a myriad of bees swarnito, fair sex put in an early appe tranc reporters’ gallery,as well us many seribbiers ot the sterner sex. The Presideat’s family Was represented by LWO Of BIS Sons, accOM- panied by ladies, in the dipioaali: gallery | ON THE SENATE SIDE.

Senator Conkling came in aboat five min- utes to twelve o'e¢ aad Wasa‘ Ouc2 sur- rounded by a crowd of adinirecs, waosesmedt plosset at the opportuuity of suakiag bia y the hand. Sevator Biaine was also on hand, and was the recipient of special attentioa from bis friends, Senator Matthews was present, and during the delivery of the chaplain’s prayer stool in the second Lier of seats to the left of the Vice President. Senator David Davis, of Illinois, came tn during the delivery of the prayer, and re- mained standing near the door. Among the distinguished persons present on the floor was ex-Gov. E. D. Morgan, of New York. S:oator Ferry, of Michigan. was in his fest, looking a little thin in flesh after his late severe illness. it was believed that when the credentials of Senators Cameron and Matthews were offered the democrais would object and ask that they be referrea to the committe: oa privileges and elections; but when the cre- dentials were presented’ vo objection was made. The appearance of the new Senators, Messrs. J. D. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Matthews, of Ohio, is familiar to most Waihingtonians. Senator Armstrong, of Missouri, who takes the place of Nenator Bogy, deceasea, is a gray headed man, with a short cray beard, and is apparently about sixty years of age. After Lhe adjournment he was intro- duced by bis colleague, Senator Cockrell, to the Senators remaining tp the chamber. ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE ihe scenes were @ repetition of those of by- gone years. Old members were introiuced to the new, and general handshaking wa. in- duiged in. The veteran Alex. H. Stephens was in attendance, and oceupied a seat in tort. Contrary to bis usual custom, he eat uring the proceedings with uncovered head. Gen. Ben. utler had a seat well to the rear, on the republican side. Martin I. Townseud, e ed humorist, with bis white hair, a shining mark, fitted hither and thither over the floor, as act ve in movements as the youngest: Mr. Randall, until he was in- ducted into the chair, sat on the third row from the fronton the democratic side, clad in a brand new suit of black broadcloth. Many of the mem! had on their desks ba: dsome boquets. When the roll was being called, the response of Ben. Butler, Here!” caused a ripple of laughter in the ‘galleries THE COLORADO Case. There Was bo interruption in the calling of the roll until Colorado was reacued, when Mr. Adame proceeded to state his reasons for leaving both claimants to the seat off the Tolls. r. Garfield called for the reading of the certificate. When the Clerk had couciuded bis reading of a statement justifying bis course in placing no claimauton the roll, Mr. Hale endeavored to offer a resolution. Mr. Ward said the highest question of privi- lege was the election of a Speaker. After debate, the Clerk decided that te resolution of Mr. Hale should be read. It recited that Belford was elected, and should be seated. Mr. Hale made a little blunder, as his reso- lution anticipated that the Clerk had seated Patterson, democrat, whereas he had seated neither of the claimants. It had evidently n Pp in advance. The Clerk de- cided adversely to placing Beliord’s name on the roll, whereupon Mr. Hale appealed, but the Clerk refused to entertain it, because the law contemplated that the Clerk should make up the roll and not the representatives elect. If he entertained the appeal it would be turning over to the representatives elect a duty which the law imposed upoa him. Springer, of Illinois. during the calling of the roll, was busy studying Barelay’s digest s.98 to be ready to nave a Ult with “Speaker iam.” Fernando Wood occupied bis oid seat, \coking like a French field marshal. The Japanere Mivister occupied a promi- nent feat in the diplomatic gallery. Hocker, of Miss., used the only arm he has in vigorously fanning himself. Ben Hill was one of the spectators in the House after the Senate adjourned. Representative Wiilis, of New York, wants to be chairman of the commitiee on nayal affairs. Me es Swann, o! Md, is as gray as a adger. Speaker Randall bas just turned his ff lieth year. - Seuator Blaine came into the House soon aller cone O'clock, and was received quite heartily by bis old associates. A lady lu the gallery remarked that the House dida’t look natural until he made his appearance. On the first roll call on the ballot for Sp-ak- ership Benj. F, Batler failed to respond to bis pame. After the roll call was complete General Butler finally concluded to vote for Geueral Garfield and did. Geveral Cravens, of Missouri, created a good deal of merriment by stating that he Was on the roll as having voted for Gardeld, whereas he had voted for Randall twice. Gen. Tom Ewing, of Ohio, sat with a hand- some bouquet in his hands ia the area in front of the Clerk's desk. Gen. Ketchum, ex- District Commissioner, sat with Governor Hendee, of Vermont, ina front seat. Gen. Butler had a magnificent bouquet ; Placed on his desk by some admiring friend. THE CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY is of such ute to every oue here at Washington that all those who appear on its pages should ‘omptly hand in their addresses. Tae gen- Fcmen end ladies connected with the press should not be tardy or forgetfal in seein; tbat they are correctly recorded. 5 | DEricIgNCIRSIN APPROPRIATIONS.—The FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. MONDAY, October 15 SFNATF.—The bright warm sunshine of this ripe autumnal day allured to the Capi- tol a large pumber of spectators to witness the opening of the special session of the 45th Congress. At 12m. precisely Vice-President Wheeler came in, and with a single thud of the maliet silenced the Lum of the throng, and the chap lam, Rev. Fyron Sunderland, offere? an cpening prayer.
