THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON D. cy JANUARY 6, 1859

MEETING OF THE Missouri LEGIsLATURE.-
~. Louis, Dec. 29.-The Missouri Legislature
organized yesterday. Mr.. Coffee (Democrat)
being elected Speaker, the Governors message
was received and read. The receipts into the
State Treasury for the past two years have been
$l,36l 900, and the expenditures for the same
period 81, 10000. The Governor hopes that
additional aid will be granted for the compile
ton of the Pacific railroad to Kansas city. He
advises that, instead of selling the roads, to
make them pay the interest on the State bonds,
that measures be taken to secure the faithful
application of the receipts of the companies to
legitimate purposes, allowing the roads to be
worked until their ability to pay is fairly tested
The number of public schools in the State
have increased, in the last three years, from
1900 to 1880. The Governor urges the estab-
lishment OF an Agricultural College. He says
he has received communications from the Legis-
latures of Maine, Massachusetts,, and New
Hampshire, on the subject of Slavery of very
illiberal character. He has not acknowledged
their receipt, and will not submit them to the
Legislature, unless they are especially called for.

CONGRESS-TUESDAY.

The notable incident in the Senate was the
ceremony attending the removal into the new
chamber. On taking leave of the old chamber,
Mr. Crttenden, the oldest member of the body,
made feeling and beautiful tribute to the mem
cries OF the past after which, Mr.. Breckin-
ridge, the presiding officer, made handsome
and appropriate address The members then
moved in procession to the new chamber and,
after prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Gurlev, the body
resumed its ordinary morning business. We
observed that Mr.. Seward made the first address
to the President in the new chamber
The House was occupied in receiving reports
from committees, mostly of private nature
Cincinnati, Jan. A special dispatch 10,
the Commercial states that the Legislature of
Illinois convened at Springfield Yesterday The
Democrats were united as regards the Senate

when they determined that the election should
take place on Wednesday, at p NJ
1t further states that attempts were made yes
terday TO organize, but the Republicans refused
to attend, and only temporary organization
effected. This movement indicates an in
tention to postpone the election by boiling.
Jan. a Another special dispatch to the
Philadelphia Press from Springfield says that
Judge Douglas was unanimously nominated
Senator, in the caucus and that resolution
endorsing the Administration, introduced by
Mr.. Martin, from the AntiLecompton district

SnINaLEs.--The most important branch
of trade here during the past winter has
been that in shingles. They have been
brought, in everlasting quantities, from
every quarter of the county, and, although
thousands upon thousands have been
carted TO Kalamazoo and other places ON
the railroad, the town is still flooded with
them. Those now on hand and still TO
come in are destined mainly for the Chi
cago market--to be sent thither by way
of the river upon the opening of naviga-
ton. We understand that at Newark,
Manlius, and other places below us, even
larger quantities have been received for
shipment to the same point. 1t is esti-
mated by one who is engaged largely in
the traffic that between two and three
millions have been brought into this
town since November last; and il is fair
to suppose that all of five millions have
been received since that time al the other
points named. The price paid for them
range from 81 TO 1926 per thousand.
