have settled down to 24e for Middlings.
The orders on the market are light, COM
paratively, for fine grades, but there are
enough here to take up fully 1000 bales OF

is very scarce. Among the sales were Is

The Clerl: refused to entertain the
appeal. Then commenced a scene OF
noise, uproar and excitement, which for
time threatened to result in a general
row. The storm which had looked so
portentious passed away and all was
apparently serene again.
Mr.. Randolph nominated Mr.. Kerr,
of Ind, for Speaker, and the vote re-
suited as follows: Jas. G. Blaine 1866
Michael G. Kerr, of Ind, 50. The CLERK
thereupon announced that MIR. Blaine

gress. and appointed Messrs. Dawes

er's chair. The ceremony having been
performed amid general satisfaction,

generally, walt for the Hudson to-mor-
row. Much business was necessarily
left unfinished, but all of any public
necessity was completed. The appro-
priation bill was not finally passed un-
til yesterday afternoon. The aggregate
appropriated by it is a little rising
$24O, 900. with $4,000 more If in the
treasury after the other is paid. Last
years expenditures were over $500, 600.
Very little has been appropriated this
session by other ac:s. This is very
moderate sum for the years expense,
and is SO far below tine Auditors esti-
mates as to remove any fear of deficit.
In appropriations al least, the Legis-
lature has acted with commendable
prudence. A great deal too much
special and private legislation has
been done, and the public has pro-
baby lost nothing by what was left un-
done. The last act of the session was
to pass the joint resolution commented
on yesterday morning, authorizing the
Board of Public Works to "compro-
mise" and settle with the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad for taxes due. Upon the
whole this legislature has done as much
good and probably as little harm as its
predecessors. Although at times dur
irg the session good deal of feeling
was sometimes provoked, the members
parted last night with only the kindesI
feelings and with regrets at the separa-
tion. We wish them all safe journeys
home and trust they may find their
friends and and families in good health.

Tho sessions of the North German
Parliament began yesterday. King
William opened tho proceedings with "a
speech. He said the first duty of the
North German Confederation was to
maintain peace and friendly relations
with the other powers OF the earth. All
the other nations of Europe had shown
a disposition for peace. The result of
the Conference at Paris on the Eastern
question demonstrated that there was a
general desire for peace. The King
closed with the following: a nation
saving its strength and having a will to
respect the Independence of others and
to maintain its own, can surely count
on peace, as foreign powers will not
molest it, and the domestic enemies OF
order are powerless to preventit.
