AND BANKRUPT BILLS SIGNED BY TH ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL SIG OPENING OF THE FOKTIETH CONGRES ORGANIZED—THE DEMOCRATE PROTH McPHERSON RE-ELECTED—REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. BY TELXGKATH TO THE TRIBUNZ. WASHINGTON, March 4, 1867, The Senate continued in F jon up to 3 o'clock this morning, and coufirmed a large number of pominations, A very large uumber were allowed to die, no action having been taken on them. An attept was made to take Cowau's nomination from the table, but iv was defeated by flank movements made by se sena- tors who were determined to prevent his confirmation. | ¢ I it had been brought to a square vote, he would have peen confirmed. He will probably be sent in again, and s friends will try to get him through. Gen. Bartlett of rk, Minister to Stockholm, was not acted on. He It Thix br Colfax for Spe applause, on the part of the Democrats, amid ve viva voce, The vote stood 127 to 30 in fayor of Colfax. the Third Brooklyn District, Stewart of the Sixth New York District—Raymond’s successor— Towa moved that the Honse proceed to elect a Speaker” ught ont Brooks,who proceeded to enter a protest Art of the Democracy against the Honse organizing tion from 20 £tates. Williams, Dawes, Kelley, and Bromwell put questions to Mr. Brooks, which he failed to answer successfully. Brooks’s speech was unexpected, and ercated & spivit of restlessness among the audien who were anxious for the House to o ize. When he had finished, Wilson nominated Schuyler r of the XLth Congress amid great Mr. Nieholson nominated Samuel L. Marshall, pplause. Four tellers were appointed, and the vote proceeded with It took twenty minutes to take the vote. Robinson of onthe without represen elye of the Roch- ud, voted for Colfax. ster DI trict, and Phelps of Mary! Colfax was conducted to the chair by Messrs. Marshall and Pomeroy amid applause.

Ityis the de mination of the Senate | ¢ 1o reject all persons who do not come up to the true Re- publicau standard. Many regret that this poliey was not adopted early in the session, The Senate spent most of its time from § o'clock last might until the adjowrnment at 2 this | g morning in Executive session. There was an anxions erowd outside all the time, mainly com posed of those whose fate was being decided within, On reassembling at 9 o’clock a few unimportant bills were Qisposed of. Soon after 10 Mr. Foster rose from the chair and delivered his short valedictory address in an impress- yes of many of those who had been his associ- ates for 12 ycars, and had known him as a courteous gentle- man and a warm-hearted friend. Mr. Wade had little to sav in the way of an inaugural. He thauked the Senate for the honor they had conferred npon him, and asked them to be indulgent toward the defects of his parliamentary experience. ¥e is one of very a few Senators who have never been temporarily in the chair. He bas always decliued, on the 5n_-u£u! th h: oot was not sufficiently versed in parliamently fas. after his induction iuto the chair, Mr, Wade put his patarg to the hill to enablg the Young Men's %ms ian Association o Washington toforn ,.]f'-'m« stock cBp: the first bill signed by him. At about 11 o'clock the ga fories were ngain closed, and anotler Executive session was held, lasting until the hour of noon, when Mr. Wade pronounced the XXXIXth Congress adjourned sine die. When the galleries were Teopened, there was such a scrambling rueb for ee a8 has uever before wit- pessed dn the Senate. A erowd, atleast twice as large as could by any possibility have found seats, had been wait- ing outside, and when the signal was given to let them 4n, they Iterally swarmed through the doors for about five minutes, until every ineh of available space was filled up. It was 15minutes past 12 when Mr. Wade called the new Scnate to order. The Senmators elect eame up to the Clerk's desk, threo at a time, escorted by their col- leagues, with the exception of Mr. Cole of California who was unaccompanied, and took the oath of offis After the usual motions and orders for organization, the Benate adjourned until 12 o’clock to-morrow. The House met at 9 o’clock this morning. Although the members had been in almost continnal session sinee Fri- day night, few were absent «t the time of mee esceming to be possessed with a desire to work emeegeti- cally, end get business finisied up. All the very smport- ant hills had been passed, and work was commenced by cleaing all business from what is known as the Speakei’s table. Most of the session up 1o 12 0’clock, the thme of ad- Jowrning sine die, was cccupied in this monotorous busi- oess. A number of bills of a private nature were to be disposed of, and oech member scemed to have a certain wumber on hand. Before the House had been in session an hour, the gafleries were crowded to excess. There were evidently #couple of thousand who ceuld not obtain sdmission. Mest of the interest secmed to be cen- tered in the Mouse, especially so because the Senate was In Exeeative session until within of the time of] adjournment. When the gal bad become 60 packed that standimg toom was not obtainable, a m iion was made in the House to admit the families of members to seats in the cloak rooms, which really means te seats on the foor. This was agreed to, as is always the eustom on the Jast | day of the session. For 30 minutes & continual crowd of people, mostly ladies, poured in upen the floor of the House. A? 12 0'clock the scene wastruly picturesquo and Interesting. The galleries and floor of the House, iuclud: Ing the cloak-rooms, aisles, and every available spot, were occapied by an anxious and patient audienee. Up 0 11 o’clock business dragged heavily, and all looked anxionsly at the clock, watching the hands as they move d slowly to the figure 12. At 10§ o'clock Mr. Fornay, Secre tary of the Senate, appeared, and announced the clcetion of Ben. ade of Ohio as President of the Senate,und act- Ing Vies President of the United States. Tl created applanse and a fow moments palicf, which ‘weawoccupied by these present in telling one another that Ren wasa good felow, and deserved the honor padd hizm. “The next matter of consequence wae & i)l from Bauks, appropri- ating $50,000 toward representing tho United States at the Paris Exposition. A number of messbers, among whom were Stevens and Seofield, seemed #0°be greatly spposed to this measure, and tried to defest 1t by calling for thegeas and nays, first en suspending the rules in srder at 1t might be introduced, and pext on its final pessage. They hoped by this to Kill the mustter, but were ansucoessful. The tedious job of ealling the yeas and says made the crowd restioss, aud the $ipeaker, in his asual pieasant way, brought 4own his litte mallet ou the fesk, and demanded order. It was singular to see how Ihis demand was obeyed every thne. When order was asked Lor, it was obtained, and the decoram of all present was wost excellent. In fact, eince the session began at 110'clock on Saturday, the most perfect ovder and atten- don te business has been mantained. When a vote wag jaken on Sunday Jjust before wdjournment, st 840 6. M., after a continmeus sossion. of nearly 18 nours, there were 115 members present and voting. Most of the athers were no further away than the Cloak and Comwittee Rooms. There socsned to be a spirit existing with weambers to attend closely %o basiness, especially as & sumber of very fmportant appropriation bills were under eonsideration. The Senate and House scemed to vio with €ach other to save the Govermaent money. As sn instanes of this economy, I may state that the Naval Approprizton bill was cut down $7,000,000 from the amount aslicd by the Secretary. By the new bill passed, stleast 10000 employés in the Government ®avy rds ‘ will be discharged during the present year. “The Fortifi- | sation Apgrepriation bill was also cut down 49 per cent All the other gepropriation bills were reducedinasimilar | wmanner. The House deserves great credit for its loings. The .oidest members state they heve never seen a more hard working and a more orderly bexly, since sbeir membership, as the House has been for the last ten | days. At1y o'cock, Mr. Kasson made the last report from a Conferenee Committee, which report was adopted. 3 may here state that the House has lost a most veluable aember iz Kasson. He is not a member of the XLth Congress. As a member of the Commitiee on Appropria- tigns, he has done an immense amount of labor. A hard warker, a good debater, and an adwirable manages, be ramly falled to earry through anything he proposed. The gegyet at his doss s uni al. Conkling, Pat- e, Morrill, and Brandagee are &l good, members lost to the Fouse, but the three forer are gprometed to the Senate, and will hereafter give thek valtay'e services to that bedy. Nearly ull the mewbers slect were on the floar. Ben. Butler sat next to Stevens most of<he morning, conversing with liim and Conkling. Gen. Logan remained with the Illinols delegation. Jim #irooks s maed to be busy giving ordersto the Democrativ side, of witich he isto be tho Jeader for the next two gears.
