THE MEETING OF CONGRESS-.

The two Houses of Congress assembled
in the Capitol, on Monday last, at twelve
o'clock, NJ. In the Senate, the Hon
JESSE D. BaIsHT, President pro tempore
took the Chair. After the new Senators
and those reelected were sworn in, q
message was sent to the House of Rep
resentatives to inform that body that the
Senate was ready to proceed to business.
There was full attendance in the House,
two hundred and twenty-five members
being present-only eight abscntees and
one vacancy
-Four votes were taken for Speaker,
but no choice was made. On the first
ballot the vote for the four highest cam
didates stood: For RICHARDSON, Dem. }
of Illinois, seventy-foury CAMPBELL,
Qiigh Fusion,) of Ohio, ffty-three ;
MARSHALL, OK. Nd of Kentucky,
thirty; BANKS, Glow Fusion) of Mas
sachusetts, twenty-one, and forty-seven
votes for other candidates. The ballot
lngs were continued from day to day with
about the same results up to Thursday
last, when, on the 10Th ballot, the vote
stood as follows: Richardson, seventy
four; Campbell, eighty; Banks, eight
Humphrey Marshall, six; Fuller, nine
teen; Pennington, seven; Thnrston, two:
Oliver, one; Nichols, one. Whitney
nine; Puryear, two Smith, of Alabama,
nine, showing an increased vote for Mr.
CAMPBELL, Abolitionist, but by no means
indicative of his election.
Our Representative, Mr.. BOWIE, also
Mr.. STEWART, of the First Congressional
District, have recorded their votes upon
every ballot for Mr.. RICHARDSON. The
other four members from Maryland have
voted for Mr. MARSHALL.
From the above it does not appear
likely that the House will organize for
several days to come; nor is it possible
to make any calculation as to what will
be the complexion of that organization /;
but we indulge the hope that the friends
OF the Union and the Constitution. North
and South, will take good.care chat such
a rabid Abolitionist as CAMPBELL, of
Ohio, shall not preside over that body.
1t is difficult matter to give the ex-
act political complexion of the House,
but the following is probably very nearly
correct

the wheat seeding this season has been

No SPEAKER YET.-The Baltimore
Sun, of yesterday morning, says:
+" The House of Representatives at
Washington spent yesterday as it had
done the previous three days, in ineiIec-
tnal ballottings for Speaker. The name
OF one of the more prominent candidates,
Hon. Humphrey Marshall know-nothing,
OF Kentucky, was Withdrawn from the
canvass at the opening of the House
yesterday. mall there have been twenty
one ballots, of which six were taken YES
terday. On the last one Mr.. Richard
son, democrat, of Illinois, had the high
est number, II votes. Mr.. Campbell,
of Ohio, free-soil, who led the voting on
Monday, having then 80 votes, was
down yesterday on the last ballot TO 40
though the next highest to Mr. Richard
son. There does not seem to be any plan
yet settled upon for terminating the con
troversy,"

BnEADsrUrfs.- Speaking of the pre-
vailing high prices of breadstuffs and
the immense supplies for expectation
which the country is capable of afford
ing, the Buffalo Courier remarks:
"There is hardly any limit to our
surplus Of wheat and corn, and if the
demand abroad should carry 100, 900, 900
bushels, which is almost four times as
much as we have ever exported in one
year, there would still be an abundant
supply for home consumption. Strange
as it may seem, that with large surplus
on hand, fully equal to supply the de-
mand from abroad, prices should rate so
high, it is, nevertheless, in obedience to
a law Of trade, which makes a sudden
impulse push the market values beyond
a due limit, as well as TO another law of
trade which makes arrangement in the
ordinary channels Of supply produce, for
time, all the consequences Of an actual
scarcity"

Is A UNIvERsALIsT COMPETENT WIr-
NESS I'VE briefly mentioned, recently,
that in trial at jackson On. o. Supe-
rior Court Judge Manly held that per-
son protesting tho doctrines Of Uniyer-
salism was an incompetent witness, and
in accordance with that decision ruled
out two or three witnesses. The decis-
ion very justly gave rise to some feeling
of indignation among those who profess
the doctrines Of the Universalst Church,
and from the proceedings of a late State
Convention of the denomination we find
that the following preamble and rcsolu-
ton were adopted:
Whereas, we have learned with sur
prise and regret through the public
press that His Honor Judge Manly, at
the last Superior Court of jackson, N.
g., decided that Universalists are not
competent witnesses in Court of JUS
tice; and whereas, we believe such de-
oision is not only fragrant outrage upon
the increasing ard respectable denoInina-
ton of Christians called Uniyersalists,
unconstitutional and inimical to this re-
publican government;
Resoiycd, That this Convention pro-
coed forthwith to take such measures as
they may deem expedient to have their
claims and civil rights protected in this,
our boosted land of civil and religious
liberty.
For the benefit of those who do not
understand our Faith, we insert ear Ar
ticles of Belief
owe believe that the Holy Scriptures
of the Old and New Testament contain a
revelation Of the character of God, and
of the duty, interest, and final destina-
ton of mankind. We believe there is
one God, whose nature is love, revealed
in our Lord Jesus Christ by one Holy
Spirit of Grace, who will finally restore
the whole family of mankind to holiness
and happiness. We believe that holt
ness and true happiness are nscparably
connected, and that believers ought to
maintain order and practice good works,
for these things are good and profitable
unto men,"

HORRIBLE MURDER IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY
We learned the particulars yesterday OF a
most brutal murder Of slave woman by her
mistress, Mrs. James Bolton, residing about
one mile from Beech's stand, in Williamson
county, on Wednesday. The inhuman woman,
our informant says, whipped the girl first, then
scalded her, and finally finished the work by
killing her with blows on the head with a
spade. 1t was even reported by some, though

the crime, but claimed that it was committed
in selfdefence.
