in the Speakers chair. But nobody paid aoy AZ

him to sit down. And immediately thereafter
Mtssrs. Bocock ard Sherman were seen arm in

chair. The well conceived speech of Gov. Pen

assembly.
Then followed the oath to the Speaker elect, from
the lips of Mr.. Phelps, the Father of the House"
and the swearing in of members by States; II being
noted that such fre-eaters as Lamar, McRae,
Crawford, Houston, and Keitt were especially re-

Democracy approached to-day the dispenser Of
power and patronage in the House of Representa-

One or two little incidents in this must not
be forgotten. Mr.. Douglas wS present to witness
the logged refusal of dozen of the leading South
EN- members to support for tue Chair his friend
Mr. McCleIpand, and that too in the face OF the
most persuasive and persistent efforts to bring them
into line. His mortified expression OF countenance
seemed to indicate that in this resistance to his
representative man in the House, he saw foreshad-

For eight weeks, the daily sessions of the House
have been opened by prayer from Christian
minister. This morning it's proceeding were intro

Isaac, and Jacob, from the lips of Jewish
Rabbi, clothed in the gorgeous habliments Of
the Hebrew priesthood. He fervently prayed
that the House OF Representatives might this

passed theswater of a small nameless
creek, the engine and tender lying be-
yond the culyert on one side OF the
track, the baggage train and three cars
badly damaged lying on the other, and
two cars-the sleeping cars-remaining
on the track. The tender is crushed
badly under the engine. The second
class car damned upon the baggage car,
the foremost first class is driven fully
into the second-class Car, while the sec
ond frst-class car is driven snto the
first beyond the saloon.
mo lives, fortunately, were lost, as
most OF the passengers were, ON the
sleeping cars. Hon. John Slidell was
on the the train, and was not aroused
from sound sleep by the accident. a
"The passengers on this train are now
accommodated in the neighborhoed of
the accident, hoping soon to be able to
get forward.
''The trains that have been dispatch
ed from the city since the 9th, unable
to proceed further than the Tangi-
paho, have returned, bringing back
their passengers and their mails. From
Oska, as far up as has been heard from,
the road has received some injury, and
we are unable to learn how soon it will
be in working order.'

took great numbers of horses, camels
and arms. The Persian loss was con-
siderable.
