WASHINGTON, Dec. Z, 1857.
SENATE.-Fifty members were present. The
Senate was called to order by the Secretary,
who read a letter from the Vice President
stating that he would not be able TO reach
Washington at the commencement of the
session.
The caths were administered by Mr.. Bright,
the Oldest senator.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick of Ala, was chosen Presi-
dent pro tenn.
After other routine business, the Senate
went into executive session, and confirmed
the appointment of George w. Bowman as

any other business.
HoUsR.-Two hundred and twenty mem
bers were present. The House proceeded to
the choice of Speaker
James L. Orr of South Carolina, had 1913
votes; G.. A. Grow of Penn, "a ; scattering
ID.
Messrs. Giddings and Banks conducted the
new Speaker to his seat.
On assuming the chair, Mr.. Orr expressed
his thanks for the honor conferred upon him,
and said that the delicate and responsible du-
ties of the chair would be comparatively light
if he should be so fortunate as to secure the
cordial CO. operation of members in DESPATCH
ing business and unfolding the dignity of the
House. He promised to administer the rules,
which may be adopted, with fImness and i'm
Partially. The great business confded TO
them, admonished them to cultivate patriot
ism as expansive as the confederation itself.
He cherishes the hope that business would be
transacted to promote the interests and hap
piness of the entire people, that the constitu-
ton would be maintained in its integrity, and
that their legislation would quicken the
greatness and glory Of our common country.
The members were then sworn, advancing
by delegations for that purpose.
On motion of Mr.. Clingman, the rules of
the last House were adopted till otherwise
ordered, with proviso as to the 24d rule, that

GENERAL WALKER The opinion gains
ground that Gen. Walker left this country on
his last piracy, not only with the connivance
OF the authorities here but on the invitation
of influential men i'll Nicaragua. It is not,
indeed, doubted that Walker himself would
venture upon any expedition, with as little
regard to its prospects Of success as to its le-
gality OF justice; but men of means and of
position are evidently leaghed with him, who
although they are quite as wicked, are not al.
together SO imprudent, and who would not
blindly commit themselves to any rascality
that did not offer fair chance of success.
T The selection Of Lamar for Minister to Cen
trail America is regarded as indicating fa-
vorable disposition towards Walker and fill
clustering in general, and this certainly cor
responds with the circumstances of Walker
escape, if escape it can be called. None of
the fine promises Of the administration about
investigating this affair and Furnishing the de-
linquents have been kept. 1t is even sus-
pected that she Minister who has lately been
recognized by the administration. and whose
recognition was hailed as conclusive evidence
that MIR. Buchanan had set his face against fl
libusterism, may not be altogether opposed to
the new invasion. There is no depth of du-
plicity or treaehery of which the Spanish
American leaders are not capable, but there
is some hope that whatever promises any of
them may have made to Walker, they will as
readily betray him as they have betrayed IL cir
country.-PToUi9encs JournGJ.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Colonel Richardson
Of Illinois, has been formally rendered the
Governorship of Nebraska.
The entire Globe Of today, and a supple
ment, is occupied with an exposition of al
legged frauds in the purchase of books during
the last Congress. The publication has pro-
duced much excitement and sensation, par
ticularly about the Capitol.
Immediately after the House adjourned to-
day, hundreds Of men and boys crowded on
the new doorkeeper clamoring for situations.
The postmaster was similarly assailed. The
clerk, too, is overwhelmed with applicants.
The Republicans, in caucus this morning,
nominated George NJ. Weston, Of the Repub-
DC, for Printer.
BY the arrival of the mail we have dates
from all points, as late as due.
The Charleston papers announce that the
steamer Welaka of Savannah was totally
wrecked on St. Nicholas Bar, on the Sd inst.
The crew and passengers, and part Of her
cargo, were saved.
The ship Mary G. Porter, before reported,
had been brought to the wharf at the Custom
House in Charleston, and an effort will be
made to get the water out of her.
The Supreme Court of the United States
commenced Its session today The full bench
was in attendance, with the exception of
Justice Curtis, resigned. Numbers 20, So,
101, los, 1871, l43- United States VS.. several
parties in California, on appeal from the
u. s. District Court of that State = were
dismissed The docket will be called tomor-
row.
At the caucus, tonight, one hundred mem
bers were in attendance. MIR. Faulkner pro-
dueed correspondence to the effect that, wish
ing to become fully acquainted with the facts
in connection with remarks made in a former
caucus, by Mr.. Clemens, affecting Mr.. Wen
dell's character. He wrote letter to Mr..
Clemens, who replied that corrupt PROPOSE
ton had been made to him (Clemens) in be-
half of Wendell. The last named, in his let
ter-the subject having been referred TO him
--emphatically denied that any proposition of
the nature stated had been made with his
knowledge OF authority, and SO that if it was
made, it must have been by some one too lazy
to work, too proud to steal, and ashamed to
beg.
Mr.. Clemens said that when the proposition
was made, he referred the individual to the
act of Congress presenting penalties against
approaches to members for corrupt proceed
ings. The member was in his power, but for
the sake of his family he would not expose
him.
The correspondence having been read, the
vote for Printer followed. MIR. Houston Oh
Alabama withdrew the name of A. d. Banks,
and proposed that of Mr.. Steadman, who re-
ceived 80 votes. The Southern and Western
members uniting, Wendell received 81 votes.
Messrs Faulkner and Hopkins voted for Mr..
Harris of the Union. Some refused to vote,
experimenting trouble tomorrow.

FURTHER TROUBLE ON THE ERIE RAILROAD,
Trains ttrooo@ off the Track,-New York.
Dec. THE Times gives the following as
one OF the incidents Of the recent strike on
the Erie Railroad: On Wednesday evening
the steamboat Erie was seen coming up the
river, and rumor was circulated that new
gang of laborers was on board Immediately
fish horn was sounded, and 800 men poured
down upon the pier to prevent them from
landing. 1t proved to be a company Of 800
emigrants, bound West. The clerks and
agents off coats, and assisted by the crews of
the boats and such miscellaneous help as was
at hand transferred the baggage to the cars,
while the iaborers stood and looked on. The
train started on its way West, but it had pro-
ceeded only as far as the water station, Section
Two, whenit encountered railroad bar spik-
ed across the road, which threw the locomo-
tive off the track down steep embankment,
and broke it up. The cars narrowly escaped
similar fate by the breaking of the coupling
which attached them to the tender. Three
hundred persons, majority of whom were
women and children, thus providcntially es-
capped sudden death or terrible manning. The
place selected for this outrage was near
stream Of water. into which it was evidently
designed to have precpitated the whole train,
with its human freight.
