A resolution was offered that the members re-
ceive no pay until they elect Speaker. Anoih-
er that they receive 10 mileage unless they elect
a Speaker to- Tnouow. Both these were laid on
the table and amidst much confusion, the House
adjourned.
Drc l5-In the Senate. the Hon ]. NJ. Ber-
rien, Of Georgia, offered resolution to appoint
committee to wait upon the President, and inform
him that the Senate had organized, and was ready
to receive any executive communication that he
might have 10 trausmit--meaning, no doubt, nom
inations and treaties.
Mr.. Clay rose and said that he had intended to
offer similar proposition. He stated that there
were precedenis which could be adduced in It's Ia
vor. He proceeded to make brief and eloquent
speech in favor of its adoption, which was, on be-
ing put TO vote carried.
The committee was appointed by the chair,
when they retired.
The President informed the Senate that he

Astounding Wealth. OF Cuba.

II is estimated that the exports of sugar from
Cuba, for $780, if nothing occurs TO Injure the crop
between this and the early part of December, will
be equal TO 500 900 boxes, worth, at present rates.
(nolasses included). about S33, 100000. The lar
aest crop exported hitherto was in 1877, amount
ing TO near l,3S0, 900 boxes, since which date the
cultivation has been increased, and the present
season has been uncommouly favorable. When
we consider that this immense amount Of wealth
is but one item OF the produce of that fertile island,
we wonder that the inhabitants continue in state
or semi-s slavery TO the indolent Spaniard.

peuusyEyauia Nominations.

We learn that there is a strong delegation in
Washington from Pennsylvania, demonstrating "a
gainst the confirmation of Collector Lewis. An
other appointment to which strong exception is ta-
ken is that Of James II. Power, as Charge to Ma
pies. Ii is thought that he will resign in very
few days, and that his appointment will be confer
red upon E. Joy Morris Esq, Of Philadelphia, one
of the most meritorious Wings in the State The
objection TO Col. Power is that bis health is in a
very precarious condition, and this objection gains
force from the fact that his predecessor after set
ting out on his mission, was compelled TO return
from similar cause, and TO reslgu after drawing
his outfit aad years salary.
With regard TO Collector Lewis, Washington
correspondent says, IF any Iced is given to the
expression of the Wings of Philadelphia, well
as of the interior Of the State mailested by peti
tions demonstrating against his confirmation, as
also through committees now in Washington, Mr..
Lewis will not be able to pass the ordeal of the
Senate"

A new Kind Of cotton has been introduced in
Tennessee, called the Golden Boil" Ii is ma
tive of Central America. The following descrip-
tion is given of
The average height of the stalks was about
four and a half feet planted four feet apart. The
distinguishing properties which characterize this
description OF cotton are It's prolific production. the
long silky texture of It's fibre, and the astonishing
" large size and great number of bos. Several
of the plants had from one hundred and twenty to
one hundred and thirty. OF which from sixty to
eighty were fully matured ten Of which, being lre
qnenily tested BY scales weighed four and half
ounces of seed cotton. The bos that did not
reach full maturity of size all opened, and yet

The Philadelphia papers of yesterday inform Us
that no Speaker has been elected, as yet, to pre-
side over the popular branch of the National Le-
gislature. Seventeen days have been iruit!essiy

has effected an orgaizaion. The House holds
meeting every day, and after balloting few lines
for Speaker, without making choice, adjourn, at
an expense TO the people of about $4,000 day,

a Speaker during the present week, we hope Old
