CONVICTED OF MURDER--Sapoon-m
Indian for Hornblower-a Nez Perces Indian,

man, supposed to be named Varbel, on a tributary
of the Lapwai, in November last. He was con.
victed, but sentence had not been passed on him,
at the time of going to press, and a motion for a
new trial will probably be argued boiore any fur

ScRANTIo's BEsT.-In his issue of
Thursday, Scrantio again gets mad at us
comes down upon us like thousand of
motes-and after relieving himself of an
amount of bile, which smacks much of a
compound of bad whisky and insanity,
says if our readers are satisfied with our
attempts to discuss the Nez Perces Indians
and himself, "to the exclusion of news and
sensible articles, they are easily suited >
We have never suspected Scrantio of be-
ing sensible article;" but scarcely ex-
pected the nowiedgement that he is not
one to come from himself; and now that
he has confessed it, we will leave him, as
we would any other fool, to his folly.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. !
December 18th, 1863. (


December 18th, 1863.
EDITOR OF THE NEwsDEALER; "A bout
ten o'clock last Monday morning, Penn
sylvania Avenue, the Broadway of Wash
ington, began to fill with moving throng,
composed of the "elite, " beauty" and
fashion" of the city, and more especially
of those who were not the elite, beauty
and fashion aforesaid
On the whole. however, it was splen-
did pageant streaming up the Avenue to-
wards the Capitol, where at twelve o'clock
the Thirty y-eighth Congress of the United
States was to assemble.
The oarelessness and gayety of the
multitude, struck somewhat painfully up
on my mind, as | thought of the momen-
tious interests depending upon the fiat of
those men, whose assembling together
was the OCCASION of all this; for what
seemed simply gala day, was, in reality
day fraught with solemn and response
bio duties and weighty with the grave
destinies of nation. At no time. to my
mind, could the meeting of our National
Congress be regarded as a holiday; and
now, less than ever before; for the ques-
tions of the present, upon which they
must deliberate, are greater ones than ever
before agitated senate or forum
Your correspondent joined in the throng
and at about half past ten, was seated in
the gallery of the House of Representa-
tives patiently waiting the hour of open
ing Congress-
1t had been anticipated by the Repub-
licans that there would be some Difficult
ty in organizing the House, owing to the
manifest disposition of the clerk, Mr..
Etheridge of Tennessee to decide every
question in the true light of Copperhead-
ism. For, in making up the roll of men,
bers of the House, who were to vote ON
the permanent organization, Mr.. Ether
idge had refused to enroll the names Of
many republican members, among which
was the entire Maryland delegation, alleg-
ing some inforlnality in their creden.
tials. '." '.
The informality upon which the Ma
ryland delegation was excluded by the
clerk, was the purely techinal one, that
the Governor had made joint certificate
instead Of a seperate certificate for each
member AT the same time, there was a
bogus coppcrhcad delegation from Lous-
iania whose credentials consisted in certif
icates from man, styling himself gov.
ernor. but without the state seal attached
which was, in fact no credentials what
ever. t'' ''" t'-'ai 'H tR
But, Mr.. Etherdgc waived this infor
mality, and enrolled the members from
Louisiana. This, was the spirit maifest
cd by Mr.. Etheridge throughout, ant
from which some> difficulty was antici
pated.
AS soon as the House was called to or
der, and the facts brought before it, res
olution was offered, that the names Of th
Maryland members be added to the rel
of the House, when one of the oopperhcad
I moved that tho resolution be laid on tn
table, which the House refused to do b,
. majority Of 20, aud the previous dues
