and for ono hour and half spoke in
defence of the bill. Mr.. Parsons is
second to mono on the floor for good
sensible argtrnentative talk; and
Notwithstanding he had the wreng
side oftho question, he made a very
able and manly fight, SO much so as
to command the admiration Of op-
ponents. On tho conclusion of his
speech, Mr.. Parsons moved tho pre-.
vious question which was seconded,
and the main question ordered to DO
put on ongrossing the bill. The yeas
and nays were ordered, and resulted
in 80 yeas and 81 nays. Tho House
refusing tho bill, it was lost. This
action settles the troubles between
the Fort Dodge folks and the d. v.
r. r. Co. for tho present.

Stone, Of Mills, and Stanchfield, OF
Lynn, spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Trayer, of Benton, moved the
previous question and undertook to
run the bill through under the gag
against the protestations of a majority
of the House, allowing the opponents
of the bill not even opportunity to
explain their votes.
Mr.. Dudley, of Wapello, moved q
reconsideration of the vote to engross
the bill which opened the way fol
discussion. Mr.. Dudley produced q
letter stating that the books are now

Jewell was elected last year by All

and q black coat and indispensables, re-
lieved by white satin or pique vest, has
been received by the elite as le bon ton for
the last forty years. This sombre style
admits not of the numerous phases of the
costume of Charles II, when velvet and
satin coats of every imaginable color,
vests to contrast, embroideries of gold,
| flowing sleeves, with rich lace from the
looms of Valencia and Brussels; knee
breaches with clasps of silver, gold or
diamonds, pointed shoes, with richly
chased buckles, were worn. But now the
mirror of fashion, from Fifth avenue, tells
us the startling news of the vauishment,
from genteel circles, of our old and
valued friend, the black dress coat. In its
place we are to have one of graceful form
of rich, bright blue. The extreme is to
be coat. vest and pants to match, with
white silk or marseilles under-vest, the
shirt bosom pointed at the waist in order
to give space for the double waistcoat-
the /" Lord Stanley cravat still to main
tain its ascendancy. This uniformity
of hue will not be popular,
and compromise is offered by sub
stituting blue coat and black in
expressibles and vest, with white under
vest. The pointed chemise and double
waistcOat will not do in this climate, but
instead single black vest, with ruftled or
flowing shirt bosom. Plaits are out of
date. There seems to be quite an effort to
resuscitate the famous "Daniel Webster"
blue coat, with polished gilt buttons, that
prevailed in 1S47, which we still see in all
the wax representations of this great man,
but the brass buttons find no favor. Some
wise ones say that knee breeches are to
be revived. If SO, the angels help the
many unfortunate bipeds, whose lank ex-
tremities have so panied our eyes during
the recent reign of tight pants. Calves
will require more nourishment than ever.
Talking Of fashions, what pity it is that
some enterprising artist, with sufficient
genius, can not acquire authority here in
native American style. instead Of leaving
us the slaves of European grandees. We
hope the time may come when Fifth
avenue, of New York, or Canal street, of
New Orleans, will be accepted as CONNIE /!
faA, as much as Paris or Piccadilly.

| The bulls on gold, who thought las
week that there was rise to us in pros
pect, have been sadly disappointed by the
turn of affairs. For the last two days the
New York market has been very weak and
unsteady. The transient rise was IN.
doubtedly caused by reaction consequen.
on overselling during the panic few days
before. As yet we have heard very little
complaint Of the effect of the depression
on commercial affairs, except as to cotton.
Our merchants have been able to hold out
against the pressure, and will doubtless
continue to maintain themselves through
the crisis. In other cities, however, the
effect seems to be more severely felt, if we
may judge by the following from the Chi
| cago Tribune:
The present uncertainty with regard to
prices is telling seriously on the business Of
| our wholesale merchants. They are still
selling, but in very small quantities. Re.
tailers. are generally anticipating return to
| specie payments, and corresponding recur.
renee to specie prices. Hence they are
anxious not to be caught with large stocks
on hand, which they must retail at q loss.
They are buying only from hand to mouth,
! and working their stocks very low. When
specie and specie prices are once reached
