At early dawn this morning the Forty-first Con- gress took a recess unl ten o'clock, the members ‘vf both houses being thoroughly wearied with the dabors of the night and anxious for a few hours’ rest. There was no rec however, until all the appropriation bills had been safely disposed of, all the conference reports adoptea and everything ready for adjournment. When the recess expired and the two houses met again there was very @sposition to proceed to business, The House took another recess until! eleven o'clock and the balance of the ume was consumed in dilatory motions, ‘The Capitol, as is customary on such occasions, was crowded with a motley concourse of pcople anxious to see the old Congress die and the new Congress come inte existence. The galleries of both houses were packed, and hundreds of people swarmed in the corridors and lobes. The Senate Chamber and the floor of the House were thronged Re-Elected ‘with new Senators and members, watching with | hungry eyes the vacation of the seats they expected soon to occupy.

The Miscellaneous Appropriauion bill, as finally passed, contains the followiag items, inserted by the Senate last night:—For rebuilding the light- house at Cleveland, Ohio, $50,000; for life-saving station at Narragansett Beach, R. I., $70,000; for a government building, for Post ollice and courts, at Columbia, 8, G., $75,000, A sec ton was inserted authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to increase the compensation of the census marshals fifty per cent 1n his discre- tion, the entire amount of compensation not to exceed cight dollars per day for time employed. Also a section authorizing the President of the United States to prescribe such rules and regula- Uons for the admission of persons into the civil service of the United States as will best pro- mote the efficiency thereof, aud ascertain the Hitness of each candidate in respect to age, hewith, character, knowledge and ability for the branch of service into which he seeks to enter; and for this purpose the President 18 @u- thorized to empioy suitable persons to conduct such inquires, to prescribe their duties and to establish regulations for the conduct of persons who may re- ceive appointments in the civil service. Defeat of the General Telegraph Bill, The President refused to sign the General Tele- graph bill, because while it grants the privilege to all persona, foreigners as well as American citizens, to land cables on the shores of the United States, it does not secure a reciprocal right to citizens of the United States to land cables on the shores of foreign couniries, Nominations Confirmed. The Senate went inzo executive session abont five o'clock this morning, and confirmed the following nominations: — S. P. Brown, A. TR. Shepherd, A. B. Mailett and James A, Magruder to constitute a Board of Public Works ior the Disiriet of Columbia, Collectors ay Cusioms.—W. H, Ashmore, at Bur- Lge N.

Ju the Senate Mr. Howard was speaking on the Hi for the relief! ef the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. in Charleston, when the clock indicated the hour of noon, and the Vice President, thanking the Senators for their kmdness during the session, de- clared the Forty-first Congress closed, The Vice President thea proceeded to administer the oath of | office to the Senators elect. When the name of Mr. Goldta wate, oi Alabama, was cailed, Mr. Sherman presented a memori: ned by forty both branches of the Alabama Legislature, against the admiss ground that he was not elected by a majority of protesting the legal votes of the Legislature. The memorial | pointed out that several members of the Legislature winch had chosen him had not been legally elected themselves; that the member whose casting vote sent Mr. Golathwaite to the Senate was not entitled to vote, and it suggested, al that it was worthy for Congress to inquire whether Mr. Goldthwatte himself was not laboring under political disanilities whick would deprive him of his seat. A discussion arose, principally upon the right of the Senate of the United States to consider the question of the le- gality of the election of members of State Legis- lature. Thurman, of Obio, and Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, contended for the admission of the new Senator from Alabama, Objection was also made to the admission of Generai J. J. Reynolds as S from Texas in pace of Mr. Hamilton, a Blodgett as Senator from Georgia, as the success of Mr. Miller. Finally the credentials of these gen- Memen, together with the protests against their ad- mission, Were laid upon the table with a view to thet reference wo udiciary Committee when 1t shall have been elecied.

In the Honse, when the hour of twelve, meridian, arrived, the Clerks was engaged in calling the roll on | & motion to adopt the conte Telative to the abolition of vice admiral in the navy. Kerr was reached as the Speaker's gavel came down with a sound which indicated that the progeedings of the [Mouse of Representauves of the Forty-first Congress w at ag end. In a few well selected phrases Speaker Blaine returned bis thanks to the redring members for ir courtesy toward himself during the session, closing by de- noe leport on the bill the rank of admiral and The name of Michael Q, Claring the House of Representatives of the Forty- | s fol- | Girst Congress adjourned without day. Tals w lowea by a hearty round of applarse, after which the members about to ret ent a few minutes in bidding fareweii to those who were to remain as members of tie new House. At about ten minutes after twelve Mr. Edward McPherson, the Clerk of the Bouse, cated the members of the new Congress 40 order, and proceeded to call the rol for the purpose of ascertaining if a quorum was in attendance. The result showed 222 members present, Among those on the floor of the House at this time were the Briush members of the Joint High Commission, who seemed to regard the whole proceeding with great interest. When it was an- nounced that @ quorum Was present the Clerk stated that the first business in order was the election of a Speaker. Mr. Blair, of Michigan, nominated James G. Blaine, of Maine, on behalf of the republicans, and Fernando Wood, of New York, nominated Gene- ral Morgan, of Ohio, on behalf of the democrats, Blaine was of course elected, receiving one hundred end twenty-six to nin -ty-tlree for Morgan. The or- ganization of the House was then completed without further delay. A question was raised about the Swearing in of the Tennessee and Mississippi dele- gatious on the ground of some informality in their election, but efter a little speech-making they were admitied. Among the new members are five ne- groes.. When they presented themselves at the bar to be sworn in there was a perceptilie titer all over the Honge, but the negroes didn’t seem to mind tt, and took the iron-clad oath without wincing. As 8000 as the Members were all sworn in Mr. pawes offered a resciution providmg for an adjournment, the Senaie concurring, on the eighth of March. This was adopted by @ large majority.

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. SENATE. WASHINGTON, March 4, 1871. After an all night session, at five o'clock this morning the Senate held an executive session of one hour, and then took a recess until half-past tea A. M. THS DUTY ON COAL. Upon reassembling, the question before the Senate being upon the passage of the repeal of the duty on coal, Mr. SAWYER, (rep.) of S. C., moved to postpone the ques- tion, as he wae satistied of the impossibility of obtainiag a vote upon the pill. Mr. ViOkPRS, (dem.) of Md., raid there were four specches et to be made on the bill, and it could not pass before the hour of adjournment. Mr. TOUMBULL, (rep.) of Til., hoped the bill would not be | laid aside. I the'democrats, Who were always cl in for a reduction of tariff, chose to defeat the bill Ly | ing against time the country should kuow it. vt RRS said he felt happy in informing Mr. Trum- bli that the opposition to this Dili was not coufined to the democrats. He knew that a prominent republican Senator | bad a speech now ready to be delivered agalust ft. He would vote for a genera! reduction of duties on articies of prime ne- cessity, such as tea, coffee and salt, but would not cuniine It to a single article. Mr. ScorT, (rep.) of Pa., replie? to Mr. Trumbull that the country would not only take notice of the democratic oppo- with ‘but would o notice his (Irumbull's) course in un- deriaking to depart from the platform of the republican party aud to assail one of the industrial interests of the country, Mr. Tromeune said the bill had been passed by a House of Representatives two-thirds republican, and scouted tue idea of his having departed from party principles. £ PRESIDENT. of Del., rose to a ques- tfully tender- yler Colfax, Vice Presiieut of the United States, for the eminent ability, courtesy and impartiality with which he has presided over the deliberations of this body. ‘The reaolucion was entertained by unanimous consent and adopted without objection, ‘THE SISTERS’ HOSPITAL AT CHARLEBTO! After further discussion Mr. SAWYER moved to 1 the coal bill in order to pa: il appropriating to y for the destruction of the hospital of the sisters of Our of Merey, at Charleston, B.C. Agreed to—yeus 27, jatter bill was considered without action. CLOSING OF THE FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Messre. MORTON and THURMAN, according| to previous appointment, reported having waited on the President of the United States, and that they were informed that tue Execu- tive had no further communication to make. Pending a discussion upon Mr. Sawyer's bill the hour of twelve o'clock, fixed by law tor the expiration of the session, arrived, when the VICE PRESIDENT addressed the Senate ab follows Thankine the Senators for the approval of my official course, which you have placed upon your records, J declare the third session of the Senate of the United States of the Forty.tirst Congress adjourned without day. (‘The time Oxed by law for the assembling of the first session of the Forty- second Congress baving arrived, the Secretary will call the Toll of names of the Senators elect, who will present them- selves in front of the Vice President's chair to take the oath of office. HOUSE OF EEPRESENTATIVES, WaAsnincton, March 4, 1871, ‘The all night session of the House continued until baif-past five o'clock A. M. ATTEMPT TO AMEND THE RULES. A regular storm was raised by a proposition of Mr. Gan FIELD, (rep.) of Ohio, to adopt an amendment of the rules, which amendment was interpreted by the democrats to alm at giving to the republican majority in the next Congress the same power that it exercised during the present Con; through Its majority of over two-thirds. The proposition was to amend the forty-second rule, #0 a8 to provide alter the previous question 18 moved no motion shall be e: tertuined except to adjourn, to fix the time to which they will adjourn and to lay on the tavie; sucn motions not to be repeated; and that afver the previous queetion is seconded no oriyinal motion whatever shall be entertained except a singte motion to adjourn. Messrs. ELDRIDGE, BROOKS (of N. ¥.) and RANDALL | and othér democrats denounced the proposition in unmea: | sured (erme and amidst great excitement, Mr. Brooks vow- | ing that cemocrats would resist even at the hazard of revo. judion. Mr. VAN Wok, (rep.) of N, ¥., declared that the Forty- |. second Congress could adopt its own rules, and that the pres- ent Congress had found the existing rules becessary to secure ponest ation. Mr, E GE, dem.) of Wis., thanked God that there svere some bi ep on the republican side of the house. Mr. GARFIRLD denied that It was the purpose of the pro- posed rule to place the minority in the power of the ma- | pority. | “Finally, amid much uproar, the question was taken on | suspending the rnies and adopting the amendment, and it was vegatived by a vote of to 62, not two-thirds in the affirmative. RAILROAD LAND GRANT, Another {scene occurred when Mr. Ct, Kan., made an atte war denods REE, (ren.) of ‘ant bili, whieh y ‘eNeely and Randall as a’“state arge being resenved by Mr. Clarke, who pro- ond it false. The ill feeling went so far that the acuve he wilair shook heir tite at each other, but did low: ‘oposition to suspend the rules and pass the bill got | only twe aiirmative vos. Finally, at half-past four o'cleck, THE OMNIBUS WILL came orer from the Senate, with an enormous batch of acnendmeste tacked to st, which were read. Mr. DAWhe, (rep.) of Mass., stated that the Committee on Apropriations haa iooked over the Senate amendments, and thet although there were many things in them whic they dig not entipely approve, be ati!i thougnt that, on the whole, the best thing which tbe House could do was to concur in them all rather than send them toa conference committee. He therefore mare! to concnr in all the Senate amendments. Zhe amendwent was then concurred in, and the Hense, at twenty minutes past tive (ook a recess till ten o'clock A.

Birst Session, SENATE. WasninaTon, March 4—P, M, NEW SENATORS QUALIFIED, Soon after twelve o'clock, in accordance with the invita- tion of the Vice President, the organization of the Senate was proceeded with, and the following new Senators came forward and took the oath of offic Mesers, Anthony, of Khode Island; Caldwell, of Kansas; Cragin, of New Hampshire; Frelinghuysen, of New Jerse; Ferry, of Michigan; Hitchcock, of Nebraska; Keliey, of Oregon: Logan, of Minois; Morrill, of Mat ertkon, of South Carolina; Stevenson, of Kentucky; Saulsbary, of Delaware; Oooper, ol Tennessee; Wilson, of Massachu- seits;' Wright, of Towa of Louisiana, ‘The names of Senators elect Alcorn, of Mississippi, and Clayton, of Arkansas, were not calted. the Vick PursrpeNr stated that the name of Mr. Vance, as Senator from North Carolina, would not be called, as the legal and political disabilities ‘of that gentleman had not been removed. When the name of Mr. Goldthwaite, of Alabama, was reached, during the calling of the roll of new Senators, Mr. SHARMAN objected to his being sworn fn, and asked to have read a memorial signed by forty-five membera of the Senate wnd Liouse of Delegates of Alabawa protesting agaivst that gentleman's adinission. Mr, WILLARD SAULSBURY, (dem.) of Del. whose Sena- erm had expire, vut who had not yet retired from sere adaressed the Chair and objected to the recep- the paper. Srvitan Se ATORS (astde)—The gentleman 1s no longer a member. Mr. SAULSEURY (bowing and resaming bis seat)—Ob, I beg pardon; 1 forgot, (Grea: laughter.) The memorial was then read by the Secretary, setting forth that the memorlalists protest against Mr. Goldthwaite’s ad- mission on the ground that he was not elected by a legal jorfty of the members ot voth houses of the Alabama gislature; that the vote as anuounced was 65 for nwaite, 60 for W id 14 for another candi- date; that 3. F. Heory, a sitting mewber of the House, who voted for Goldthwaite, had no certificate of election, been defeated at the polls by several hundred ; that Paul Bradford, another sitting member voting for Goldthwaite, Lad niso been defeated in the elec- tion; that the Representatives of Greene, Lee, Sumter aud other counties wno voted for Goldthwaite were elected through fraud and intimidation at the polls: that otber mem- bers 80 voting labored under political cisabilities, In con- gluston, the memorialisis surgest an inquiry as to whether Mr. Goldthwalte himself does not iabor under legal and po- Iitical disabilities, ‘Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohfo, moved to lay the creden- tuais and memorial on the table anil the organization of the Senae committees; then to be referred to the Judiciary Comunittee, Mr, THURMAN, (dem.) of Ohio, asserted that nothing could be clearer than’ that the memorial fatled to make a case a the Senator elect, and that no instance had ever oc- in which the Senate bad undertaken to canvass the eidgibility of members of a State Legislature. This had not been doue even in the Georgia case, where the Senate had had gone very far. in that cave the Judiciary Committee de- terrcined not to inquire further than as to tue legal existence ; Windom, of Minnesota, and West, of a legislature. The question now raised was most prepor- te it was inconsisteot with the disnity of the Senate to be asked to inquire Into the validity of the election of an indi- vidual to the Alabama Legisiature. Mr. SUBAMAN sald the memorial he had presented set fort that the Senatorial contest was decided by the vote of ue man, who bad no right to vote, There was another a- legation tUat fn portions of the State prior to the election an {niernecine war was in progress. ameunting to a denial of the right of a portion of the people to vow. He reminded the senate of the kindred allegations already made upon the floor of organized violence and intimidation in Alabaina. ‘The objection that Mr. Goldthwaite labored under disabili- ties was ratuer indeGinite; Lut the fact appeared to be that a bill Was passed by Congress to relieve him prior to the four- teenth amendment to the constitution, Whether that prior legislation relieved him from the penalties of the amend- ment would be a proper inquiry for the Judiciary Com- mite. Air. LDMUNDS, (rep ) of Vt. asserted the nght.of Con- gress, under the constitution, a’ guardians of the rights of the people of a State, to inquire Into the eligibility of mem- bers of a State Legislature or any other set of men claiming to represent a State. Inthe case of the Georgia Senators this question had been purposety left open by being carefully excluded trom the report of the Judiciary Committee, as it had not been discussed in that case. In view of the physical exiauston of many Senators in consequence of the recent late nivlt session, jd not propose 10 enter now upon a discussion of the question. Mr. Davis, (dem.) of Ky., maintained that the ruling of the Senate heretofore bad been that the qualifications of a Senator could not be inquired into previous to his admission tomseat. The inquiry proposed vy the Senator from _Ver- mont (Edmunds) was really not as to tne valldity of a Sean, tor’s election, but as to the suiliclency of the election of 183 members of the Alabama Legislature. He protested ugainst this as the most extreme step, yet contemplated in the dan- gerous career of Congressional usurpation, apd asserted its Feal purpose to be to unseat a regularly elected democratic Senator. Mr. THURMAN remarked that ff Mr, Edmunds’ position ‘was correct, and the inquiry he proposed was legitimate, it would extend to the right and qualifications of the people themselves to vote. Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N. Y., corroborated the statement that the questien bad not been touched upon by the Judiciary Committee. ‘The subject was then disposed of, on motion of Mr. Ep- MUNDS, by laying the credentials of Mr. Goldthwaite on the table temporarily. Committees of notification to the Premdent and House of the orzanization of the Senate were then appointed, ‘The Vice President then laid before the Senate two sets of credentials from the State of Texas, one representing that the late Senator (M. C. Hamilton) had been elected for the next term, and the otner certifying to the election of General Joseph J. Reynolds. Mr. FLANAGAN, (rep.) of Texas, moved that the oath of office be admiuistered to Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Mowrox, rep. of Ind., cauled for the reading by the Secretary of a joint resolutlon by the Texas Legisiature, giving au explanation of the case. Mr. CONKLING inquired whether both the credentials were 43 proper form. .. THURMAN said his information was that General Rey- nolds’ credentials did not contain the signature of the Gover: nor. Mr. Monro expiained that the omission was aceldental, ‘and that otherwise the credentials were in proper form. Upon his suggestion the credentials were temporarily tabled. "ne credentials of Foster Blodgett, claiming a seat as Seua- tor from Ge were then presented by the chair, when Mr. HILL, (Fep.) of Ga., called attention to a protest bi had ‘recently presented from many Georgia republicans against Blodgett’s admision. He said he merely discharged his duty to the people of Georzla tn presenting the case to the Senate, and that if the facts alleged concerning the elec tion were irne they deserved careful consideration, GThe subject was then temporarily dispored of by beln; laid on the table, anc at a quarter past one the Senate ad: Journed tll twelve o'clock Tuesday. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WaAsHixoron, March 4—P. M, THE HOUSE CALLED TO ORDER. Soon after the Speaker had declared the House of Repre- sentatives of the Forty-Grst Congresa adjourned eine die Mrv MoPuERsoN, Cierk of the House, suumoned the new House to order, and proceeded to call the unmes of members by States. The States of New Hampsbire, Connecticut, ‘Yexas and California were anrepresented, the election fn those States not having yet been held. Ip regard to Nort Carolina, the Clerk stated requested by Mr. Rogers, member from the Fou bot to cal) hfs name nd he therefore did not do so. Ip regard to Miss ipp!, the Clerk stated that while the cre- dentials were peculiar In form, owing to the fact that the eletions were held under the’ military reconstruction acts, it appeared to bim they met all the substantial requirements of the law, and be therefore accepted them all. In regard to Tennessee, the Clerk stated that the credentials Presented differed essentially from those presented by the meipbers of the Forty-first Congress. They were both vague and evasive, and the changes were #0 marked and special us to create a beilef that they were perhaps made to produce uncertalnty, He had been in doubt as to his duty concern 1ng them, but he had snally concluded to give them this time the beaeut of doubt and accept them. The point which bad been urged, that the election was not held on the day fixed by the law of Tennessee, involved a construction of the con- stitution and several lays of the State, and he bad, under the circumstances, concluded uot to rule tipon f As to the Third district of A naas, the rk stated that c nee that ithad not e time specified by law, nor for two Besides, wore serious doubts as to whether the otflcer who executed it had at that thme the right to doit, ‘The circumstances were go suspicious that he felt compelled to reject it, He had made these explanations, be- cause he had observed his like action on previous occasions, when anexplatned, had been misunderstood. (he roll having been completed, the Clerk announced that 222 members bad answeres to thelr names, the (ull repre- sentation being 248. ELROTION OF SPEAKER. Mr. Brain, (rep.) of Mich then moved that the House proceed to the election of a Speaker. Agreed to. Mr BLAM then, in behalf of the repnbitcan members of the Honse, nominated James G.

The successful working of our system of overnment de- nda in a large measure on tt} ance of party o1 ina Yon, and tue most wholesome legisiation which the House produces and perfects is that whlch results, from opponing forces, mutually eager and watch: w and in numbers.

(General applause.) ir. DAWES, the senior member of the House in con- tinuous service, administered the oath of oflice of Speaker. MEMBERS QUALIFIED, Then the SPEAKER proceeded to administer the oath to the members, beginning with members from the New Ei a States, who ranged themselves in an arc of a circle in the area in front of the t Clerk's desk and took the oath with up- band. They were followed by members from New York and New Jersey, then by the membera from Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, and #0 on. ‘Two niembers from the Southern tates took the modified oath. Mr. Maxann, (rep) of Tenn, objected to the swearing in of Alfred M. Waddell, of North Gurolina, as belng dis- qualitied from holding office. Mr. KERR, (dem.) of Md., objected to the swearing in of the Tennessee members, on the ground that the election law in Tennessee had been repealed, and that they were elected without the sanction of the law. He presented a protest from the citizens of Tennessee, and explained that the ‘en- nessee re had, by one sweeping measure, repealed allthe acta of a previous Legisiature, including the election wa Mr. BINGHAM, rep.) of Obio, moved that the Teanessee members be sworn in, and that their credentials pe referred to the Committes on Elections. ‘The motion was agreed to aud they were sworn in, three of {hem efkiog the test oath of 1802 and five the modified oath of . Mr, KERR stated the grounds of the objection to the swear- ng, in of the Missiseipp members;,thetr credentials pre- sented no prima facie evidence of a right to n seat. Mr. Evpeok, (dem,) of Wis., suzgested that if these men could be elected to occupy thelr seats for three years and tree months they might as well be elected for twenty years or for life. Mr. BINGHAM moved that the Mississippi representatives be sworn in and their credenhais referred o the Committee on Elections. ‘Mr. Bingham’s motion was acre to—yeas 119, nays 79— and the Mississippi members were accoryingly sworn in, and their credentials referred to the Commitee oa Klections. This completed the organization of the Ho OFFIOERS OF VE LAST HOUBE RE-ELEOTED, Mr. Dawes offered resolution declaring the following ‘ons officers of the House forthe Forty-second Congress :— Rdward McPherson, Clerk; N.

CONTEST OVER A NORTH CAROLINA MEMBER. Mr. KELLEY, (rep.) of Pa., called up the case of Mr. Wad- dell, of North Carolina, to whose swearing iu Mr. Maynard had’ objected. Mr, MAYNARD stated that Mr, Waddell bad, before the war, held a judicial office, that of ‘Clerk and Master in Chan- , Which Tequired an oath to support the constitution, and had atterwards held 8 commission of Lieutenant Colonel in the rebel army, thus becoming obnoxious to the third section of the fourteenth constitutional amendment. Mr, KELLEY d that Mr. Waddell was under no dis- ability, and could take the oath with as zood a conscience as he (Sir. Kelley) could. The office held by Mr. Waddell was in no sense a judicial office, but aclericafone. He admitted She fact of Mi. Waddell having taken the oath to support the constitution, but denfed that {t was taken {n connection with & judicial office. He moved that Mr. Waddell be sworn in. .e motion was toand the modified oath was ad- ministered to Mr. Waddell. the drawing—and then, at twenty minutes past four, the House adjourned until Tuesa: SHIPPING NEWS.

Shipping Notes. . Another new line of ocean steamers, named the Baltic Lioyd, has been established to run between New York and Stettn, calling at Copenagen or Christiansand, returning either by way of a french or an English port, or direct, as the case may be. The first steamer is expected to leave Stet- tin next month (April) for New York, where pier 18 North river has been engaged for their accommodation. ‘fhe frst two vesseis of the line, to be called Franklin and Humboldt, are now in course of construction at Sunderland, England, and will be launched, according to contract, this month. Their dimensions are:—Length of keel, 285 feet; length over all, 309 feet; breadth of beam, 26 feet; depth of bold, 27 feet. Engines upon the expansion system of 200 horse power, uominal each. Minimum speed, when tully loaded and in a seaway, ten knotsan hour. Interior arrangements similar to those on board the Hamburg and Bremen steamers, with ample accommodations for about 700 first and second class and steerage passengers. The ships of the Baltic Lioyd are building under the inspection of the Liverpool Underwriters’ Association, and will receive the highest class (red) for 20 years, The vessels will be built extra strong and in the | most perfect manner, with ail the modern and most approved Appliances, and with a view to the greatest possible safety, combined with speed and comfort.
