WASHINGTON Feb

In the Senate to.day Mr.. Clayton intro
ducsd resolution approprating 200 cords of
wood TO the suffering poor of Washington,
City, to be paid out OF the contingent fund
Messrs. Butler and Toombs opposed it as q
perverson of that fund. Mr.. Clayton
moved as an amendment that 1t be paid for
out OF the per diem of members, in equal
proportions. Mr.. Toombs preferring to be
his own almoner, moved an amendment,
that the wood be paid for from the per diem
OF the members voting for the resolution
Mr.. Wheeler proposed that Senators would
endeavor to individually contribute for the
relief of the poor, and on his motion the
resolution was laid on the table.

Election Of Clerk Governor Reeder.

New YORK, Feb. 8.
Mr. Greeley telegraphs to the Tribune,
"Mr. Cullom was chosen Clerk to-day, by
the vote of nearly all the Republicans and
most OF the Southern Americans. The ia CT
that he had fought the Nebraska bill to the
INST and lost his seat in Congress thereby,
endeared him to the ant-N ebraska men.
1t was deemed wise not to risk the chance
of defeat of Gov. Reeder's case on the
question OF the comparative regularity of
the credentials, which is Whitfeld's strong
point, but to fight the battle only on the
merits, and that at the earliest moment.

the rebellious monarch of Babylon, covered
BY one Of those gold masks usually found
