The House OF Representatives was
duly organized hv the election of
Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, rs
Speaker. The election was made on
the first vote c,Ua 00ce. The "Oppo-
sition' members made but little op.
position. They made numerous nom.
nations among their various friends,
to whom they gave votes more or less
complimentary" some of them de.
cidcdly ''less.' Blair, for instance,
got two. We are gratiiled that the
House was so promptly and so pleas.
antly organized.
Mcpherson was elected Clerk, and
Orday Post Master.
Mr.. Arnold OF ILL.,, gave notice Of
bills to prohibit Slavery forever in the
territory included in the Presidents 5
Emancipation Procl .mation; also, to
repeal so much of the enrolment act
as authorizes the discharge Of a per.
son drafted upon the payment of
$500.
A similar bill was also introduced
in the Senate The repeal of this
clause is almost certain. No other
business ofimportance has been trans.
acted.

The Report ofthc Secretary OF War
will be sent into Congress to-day Mr..
Stanton takes f. hopeful view faffairs
and expresses the belief that another
year will witness the establishment Of
peace and the authority OF the Gov
ernment throughout the rebel States.
The war estimates for the ensuing
year are reduced over two hundred
millions. The conscription law yield
ed $4,000 men. He rather favors the
repe'l Of the $500 clause. Volun-
teering is going on well, and he thinks
there will lie no occasion for another
draft. There are 50,0D0 negro sol
diers in the ranks. lie recommends
that these men be placed on an equal.
ity with white soldiers as regards pay.
