CONGRESS has adjourned and feeling Of re-
lief is experienced by the country. Many bills
have been left 10 sleep ON the Speakers table,
among them the civil rights bill. This measure
seemed TO be too heavy for some Republicans
to carry, though If the fourteen Republicans
who voted in the negative had recorded their
votes in the affirmative the bill would have
passed, possibly to encounter the veto of the
the President. To have adjourned without
passing bill regulating the currency would
have been admitting their inability 10 grapple
with question Of such magnitude. This Con-
gress has not been boisterous one and men,
hcrs have conducted themselves with becoming
propriety TO each other, though in the ardor
Of debate severe criticisms have been INDUCED
in. The terms of most of the members expire
on the 4th Of March next, and they now have
TO settle with their conslituency--to have gone
before them with this question unsettled would
have been used against those who desire to be
returned, and this no doubt had its effect in
bringing about settlement of the question
The people will have 10 content themselves
with an irredeemable currency, but in every
election of Congressman that is to take place
between this and the Presidential contest the
question of a return to specie payment should
be raised, and the candidate compelled to an
swer in the Affirmative.

Yesterday Sentinel reporter, having ap-
peared in this busy world too late for church,
was Willing away the afternoon making his
usual rounds, when he encountered an "old
campaigner." who, in answer TO the ques
ton. What do you know?" told Of ''little
game" that the hoosier boys in blue played
while down in Georgia investigating the
cause of the late unpleasantness. 1t might
not have been just the thing for Sunday
afternoon story, but it is "mighty interesting
reading for Monday" 1t is given just as he
told it: The third year of the war, VIII le the
bows of the army Of the Cumberland. in their
camp near Ringgold, Ca, were enjoying to
the fullest extent the occupation which the
DEVILS workshop furnishes in full of all re-
quirements, in rude log hut, near the dilap-
idated village, there was played game Of
cards which surpasses the most apocryphal
stories of Missis .ippi river gambling. Tie
game was ''poker' draw poker-the "aLie"

in view of the tact that each man was entit-
led to five carls. two "decks'' were used, and
certain agreements being entered into, in case
the ''call' should discover the same cards
held by two Of the players. The game was
what Bill Nye would acknoU ledge ''lively."
By midnight tnree Of the M uber were
''broke" and subsequent proceedings inter-

The Coronation Of the King Of siam A
Brilliant As,emhla1e.

Driiilant ASSemDbages
This city has lately been a scene of festivity
and gorgeous professions and ilumiLations,
owing to the recoronalion OF the King, who
has lately attained his majority. He was
originally crowned about SIX years ago, on
the death Of his father; but, being then only
boy of thirteen, he could not undertake the
sole charge of government, which WIS, there
fore, intrusted to a regent, who has fulfilled
his duties in manner which is seldom met
with In Oriental countries.
Prior to the present ceremony, the King,
according to Samese law, was compelled 10
enter the priesthood for short time. and had
to perform all the duties OF the youngest
novice, and to receive instructions suitable TO
the position be was TO occupy. After this
ceremony he was, on the 10th of November,
at $50, recrowned by the attendant priests,
which fact was announced to the people by
salute of 101 guns from the palace, aud
another of twenty-One guns from a French
frigate which came to Bangkok in honor OF
the occasion.
At 10 a. m. the King repaired to the royal
throne, arrayed in the splendid State robes,
and attended by'his mobiles bearing the differ
ent insignia OF his power. A most brilliant
assemblage had been previously congregated
in front of the throne, and representatives
from almost every civilized nation were pies
ent. Immediately after his majesty had ta-
ken his seat on the th one he read procla-
nation abolishing crouching and prostration
in the presence OF a superior. From time i'm
memorial it has been the custom never to
stand in the presence of royalty, aud the
highest mobiles in the land could only ap-
proach the King on their ki .ees, with their ell
bows resting on the floor, and their bands
ioined in the act OF worship. A no3leman
visiting another of higher rank than himself
would have TO remain in very similar posi-
ton, no matter how long the interview might
last Iu the proclamation the King stated
| that he had been impressed with the conviction
| that no country could prosper where such SER
| Witty and worship from one man to another
was the custom, and that he wished to see
1 men on a more equal footing, 20 that the
| poorest subject in the kingdom might teel
sure of obtaining equal justice with rich.
During the reading OF this edict, all the 81
amese present. to the number OF 400, remain.
ed in PROSTATE condition on the door, but
at its conclusion they ose simultaneously,
and did their best toward making bow to
the King in European fashion
Many OF them appeared i'll at ease and it
was noticeable. by their round shoulders and
halt-stooping gate, that they were almost
| afraid Of the position they found themselves
| in. N-"
After few more formaliiies the King retired
| amu the most horrible din of conches, goBgs,
horns, and all other native instruments which
could possibly render discord discordant As
| the King now possesses some military bands
very laiIy trained in European music, 1t Is
anticipated that the native instruments sound
ed their own knell on this occasion.
