The day was wet and stormy, and the atmosphere chilly, with snow fast fallitig. The galleries then did not present the usual gay appearance, yet many closely wrapped-up ladies took their seats there. In the House the obiect of most interest was Colfax, who was kept employed in answering congratulations on the double event, and in shaking the hands of his well-wishers. As Vice-President elect, and as a bridegroom, Colfax , took his seat to preside for the last session, and so his friends had much on which to wish him joy. Tender inquiries were made by facetious members as to Andy's health—that Andy who was about to explode a bomb amongst them. Ben Butler, when he appeared at 11 o'ciock, seated himself in the vacant place of Thad. Stevens,and no man dared ask what he did there; for though all knew what it meant few chose to question it. Ind, ed Mr. Stevens, just before his death, expressed the desire that the place should be taken by Batter. Maynard, a negro Repre sentative from Louisian a , took his seat at the extreme rear of the hill, but as few noticed him he left the IChamber for a place among his coloured friends in the gallery. After the prayer many bills were in trodr.ecd referring to the currency and specie pay ments, and to universal suffrage. Fernando Wood, of New York, called for the instructions given to the American Minister at London on the Alabama claims, and the correspondence between him and the British Government. Another member moved a resolution that the Minister having injured and degraded the United States by his course should be recalled.—Referred to the Committee of Foreign Affairs by 94 to 41. It was then moved that $50,000 should be granted to cover the President's ex penses in the Impeachment trial, which was tabled by a decisive vote. In the Se nate a member from Georgia was objected to on the ground _Oat the State Legislature had ' violated the reconstruction laws by the expulsion of its negro members, while many of those by whom they were replaced were ineligible, and the matter stands over. Mr. Sumner presented a resolution for universal suffrage, another for the compulsory. resumption of specie payments on next Indepen dence Day, a third for cheap ocean postage, a fourth of sympathy with the revolution in Spaln, and advising the emancipation of slaves in the Spanish colonies. The House -on the Bth inst. passed a bill transferring the Indian Bureau to the War Department. The resolutions of the Oregon Legislature calling for the resignation of the Oregon Senators were read, and contemptuously returned: W. G. Robinson, from the third district, New York, boiling over we presume with his defeat last month by General Slocum, made a speech and the "faithful ! Fenian," as a leading New York daily styled him, banged away at the much-abused British lion. In ' deed the tone of this wild Irishman's remarks may be gathered from his assertion that " had he the control no man should eat his dinner, no woman marry a husband, and no business of life be carried on until there was a declaration of war by the United States against Great Britain." We fear that under these circumstances the citizens would take to eat ing other people's dinners, and women to marry men who were not husbands. Fernando Wood en tirely concurred. The name of this fire-eating party who calls himself an Irishman reminds us of what Lord Mayo said, that most of these men who swaggered as Fenians about New York bad no true Irish blood in their veins, while he had little else ; insinuating indeed that they were arrant impostors. If this Robinson be an Irishman he is most likely the descendant of those English ruffians whose robbery and ill-treatment of the natives brought most of the disgrace and misfortune of Irish misrule on England. On the 9th both Houses were crowded Co hear the President's Message read. In the Senate Mr. Conness, of California, describing it as a tirade of abuse from beginning to end, and an indecent attack upon the Chamber, demanded that the read ing be stopped. This was opposed on the ground that Andrew Johnson was still President of the United States, though his Message was, as Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, described it, like the ravings of a disappointed, bad man. Senator Came ron, however, renewed the discussion, insisting that the Senate should not hear the Message, which he regarded as a gross insult under cover of the ordi nary forms, and the S.-mate finally adjourned, leav ing it unread, the Clerk having got through only half-a-dozen pages. Although the Representatives patiently listened, they gave the more vent to their anger when they reached the end of the dreary pla titudes, enlivened only by vicious insults to the House. General Schenck, of Ohio, then charac terized it as a gross, shameless, most impertinent, and most scurrilous document. Mr. IVashburne spoke on the same side, and was opposed by Fer nando Wood and other Democrats, but the House refused even to refer the paper to a Committee, but ordered it to be laid on the table with the lumber which constantly reaches Congress from beggars and wild schemers, which is there deposited, and never again brought up. Bingham's Bill for an election in Virginia, Jan. 20, was discussed, and Washburne's amendment adopted, substituting the fourth Thursday in May. Mr. Washburne ten dered his resignation as Chairman of the Com mitte on Commerce. The Tribune says—" The Committee of seven Senators, selected to con sider the question of revising the Senate committees on the 9tn. An effort was made to remove Mr. Henderson from the Chairmanship of the Indian Committee, and a vote was taken having that object. For retaining him the votes were four— Messrs. Sherman, Edmunds, Trumbull, and Ram sey ; for deposing him the votes were three-- Messrs. Conkling, Pomeroy, and Rice. The effort to change the Chairmanships will therefore pro bably be abandoned. The Committee will be ready to report to-morrow or next day. The House Com mittee on Freedmen's Affairs, of which Mr. Eliot is chairman, will meet on the 11th to hear the views of Gen. Howard and others on the propriety of continu ing the Freedmen's Bureau in Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. The General is opposed to a continuance." At the meeting of the Military Committee of the House on the 19th the bill of last session for the re duction of the army was considered, and the sub ject was aband one d. Ih e bill for abolishing brevet ranks is to be again presented during the present session. Strong efforts are being made to increase the pay of army officers thirty three per cent., and petitions and letters urg ing the increase are already annoying the com mittee. The Judiciary Committee were to report a bill that week introduced by Mr. Lawrence of Ohio, to establish a Law Department of Government. This bill, if passed, will reduce the expenses of the law officers of Government over $lOO,OOO per year. The Committee at the same time will report back a bill, introduced by Mr. Butler, to repeal the Tenure-of-Office Act. John Boyd, Esq., of lowa, has received the appointment of Assistant Doorkeeper of the House in place of 0. S. Buxton, recently elected Doorkeeper. Both Houses ad journed on the 10th till the 14th, and there was little chance of anything being done till after the holidays, which were to last from the 21st Dee. to sth January, and the cable informs us that Con gress did adjourn as announced. SUNDAY TR AVEL.—lhe New York Sabbath Committee has published certain statistics, derived from a correspondence with 124 of the principal railroads of the country in reference to travel on the first day of the week. Of those 124 companies, 65 run no trains of any description on Sunday, and 59 run 177 passenger trains and 42 freight and cattle trains. The latter roads, how ever, except the short railways out of cities, run about one-fifth the usual number on week days. Tho question whether Sunday trains aro profitable was an swered by 16 companies in the affirmative and 38 in the negative, the remaining 70 making ne response. The general experience of the managers of railroads is that nothing more highly conduces to the health and work ing powers of employes than rest from labour on Sunday. lADvEaTisamENTJ—Avoid Medicines: they always aggravate chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish ment of the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies, and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, au energy to the-most disordered or enfeebled.
