The crowd to-day was quite as large as it was yes
terday. few Of the colored population found
agreeable sleeping accommodations IN the galleries
during the night and so were on hand bright and
early in the morning. The atmosphere in the Cham
Der was dead and heavy, and the floor was covered
with the hitter and rubbish of a whole day. The
Senators looked tired and worn. The clerks were
sleepy and hOarse. The little pages, worn down
with the unusual strain forgot their tricks and an

alteration at such time than anybody else, receive
the least and they presented, with the rest, for

How Colorado Cattle are sufferinu.

Below old Fort Morgan, on the
South Platte, the cattle are not suffer-
ing. There have been but two storms
there, and the snow is nowhere more
than three inches deep. The last storm
was accompanied by strong wind,
which blew the snow off the hills, which
are all bare. Above the fort, however,
the cattle are in bad shape, being al
most unable to penetrate the snow in
search of food. Cattle men who have
been in Colorado since the settlement
of the country say that this is likely to
prove the hardest winter their stock
ever experienced. There has been as
much snow there before, but the sue
cessive snowfalls of the present year,
followed by slight thaws, form coat
ing of ice below, which the cattle can
not break through. The wild animals
are all gathering near the settlements.
A recent visit to a claim shanty started
away over hundred jack rabbits which
had sought shelter. Large numbers of
cattle are huddled along the railroad
embankment, many of which have been
killed by the cars.
