CONGRESS-.

On Monday in The Senate, a good deal of in,roduc-
tory business was done, and the appropriation bills
tor the naval and military service passed. On mo-
ton of Mr. Grundy, the Senate then went into Exc
cutive business, and sat till o'clock.
In the House, Mr. Strong presented petition
against Sunday Mails, and moved to have it printed
which after debate, was negatived. Mr.. Williams of
N. Carolina moved two resolutions which lie a day
on the table: 1. To rescind the rule in relation to
the presentation of petitions, (nakng them in order
at all tmes.) @ To rescind the rule limiting debate
on resolutions, to one hour each day. After rood
deal of Introductory business, which we shall notice
at maturity, the contested election from Virginia was
resumed. Judge Spencer concluded his argument 10
favor of Mr.. Newton's right. Mr.. P P Barbour
by Mr. Doddrldge (whose maiden speech in Congress
this was and which is highly complimented by Cor
respondent,) on the other side. Mr.. Test moved to
re-commt the report but the motion was superseded
by call of the previous question from Mr. Stanber.
ry The question was then put and decided in favor
of Mr.. Loyal, ayes 97 noes 81. Mr. Newton has
been so years in Congress, and was what is called
the father of the House. He was no Jacksonian in
deed, but Republican ever, and at time when to
be so required little firmness than is now re-
CURED. Nevertheless, if it was the will of the Dis
trct to turn him OUT which for one take leave to
doubt, be it SOY

Washington, .uarch o, 1880.
Mr.. Newton Of your State was yesterday elected
from his seat in the House of Representatives. and
Mr.. Loyal was declared the member duly elected
from Norfolk, by vote of 81 to g. Mr.. Doddridge
made very pertinent and forcble speech in reply to
one by Mr.. 2. z. Barbour, who had supported the
claim Of the petitioner. The interest excited when
Dir. Doddridge rose, of character which must
have been highly gratifying to that gentleman as it
must have carried to his mind the conviction that his
reputation had preceded him to Congress. The
members generally left their seats, and stood round
him during the earlier portion of his Speech and until
the speaker felt himself, eigned himself called on
to nerpose his authority, and call the members back
to their places There is doubt that the argument
Of Mr.. Doddridge convinced many who did not dare
to permit their votes to attest their convictions but
who verified the Hudibras!ic dstich-
"a man convinced against his will,
"ls of the same opinion still"
The earcrness of Mr. LOYAL to obtain the scat-I
speak it not his disparagemeDt-was very evident,
and in striking contrast with the stocal inder-
ence depicted in the countenaDce and movements of
Mr.. Newton. At one instant, Mr.. Loyal was to be
seen in the seat ofsome member, usurpation which
had never before been attempted, and which would
have been probably checked if it had, prompting an
advocate in the next, he visible in the avenues
of the House, walking with dIstempercd air, while
some opponent critically reviewing the merits of
his application. lie has gained his object, however,
and Mr.. Newton will leave Congress with the res
poets and regrets Of all his old associates, among
whom, if he has rendered him self conspicuous by
any eminent display of talent, he has succeeded in
establishing enviable reputation for honesty and
sound Judgment.
The Senate has been engaged for several hours to-
day in Executive business and unless the important
discussions which may be looked for in Legislative
session should interfere, may expect that before
the termination of the present week, shall have
disclosed some of those results for which we have
been looking with much anxiety. The important
discussions in Legislative session, to which have
reference have relation to the power oftbe President
/ to create vacancies, &C.; or, perhaps, more cor
rectly to speak, may relate TO the controlling power
vested in the Senate, and the occasions when that
body is called on by imperative considerations
to exercise that power. You must remember
that Mr.. Barton weeks since, offered certain.
resolutions in The Senate, The object Of which was 70

In respect to Temperance Societies--wc confess

one reason only. This was, that as man by coming
