Liberia

Sixty nine colorcd emigrants sailed yesterday
from New York for Liberia, under the auplces
of the American Colonization Society, who Will
support the cmigrants for SIX months alter their
arrival. About deem cabin passengers we're
also on board. 1t is understood that efforts are
to made to open up the back country of Lbe-
ria, aud by the construction Of roads to brlng
the products to the sea coast. The colonlsts
came from Pasquitauk, Currituk, Camden and
PerqHimauk counties, North Carolina. They
were selected by Mr.. William CoppiDger, Of
Washington, u. C., who visited the above
localities for that purpose. They are poor,
moral aud industrious people. The cost OF
their emigration is 500 for each adult, and
$50 for each child, and the society has appro-
prieted $4,000 already for the expense of the
colony. 1t is believed by the American Colo
nization Society that white labor will eventually
ind its wey to the South. Realizing the TACT,
and knowing that white labor at the South is
preferred to black, they are anxious to ship ali
willing emigrants to Liberia. This is the
third colony wb1,h has been sent to Africa

Adjournment of Congress-.
The first session of the forty fifth Congress
brought it's labors to close at 7 O'Clock this
morning, the usual scenes attendant upon an
all night session having been enacted. The
delay 10 the adjournment was caused, first by
the disagreement of the conference committee
on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. and
then by an Inability to have the said bill en-
crossed and properly authenticated, so as to
receive the signature of the President, who was
kept away from attending the closing exercises
at Princeton, and detained at the Capitol all
night 10 consequence. 1t appears that the
Committee on Eurolled bills, unmipdful of their
pressing duties, allowed their coDvivlal feelings
to get the better of their official responsibilities,
aud as q consequence the committee and the
bill got tangled up, and the time between
twelve O. clock at night and seven o'clock this
morning was occupied in having the bill en-
crossed. 1t is said that there was as much
fluids" on the floor of the House last night as
"solids," and that therefore, tho committee
we're not solely to blame; and, then, it was the
last night, and to day was the begioniDg of the
holiday for the ''boys."
The President was on the train at $3.50 last
night to start for Princeton, to participate in
the closing exercise at that college, when he
was called to the Capitol. and, as stated. de-
tanned there all night, in order that the Suodry
Civil bill might be signed and become law.
There was nothing of any importance done
in either House after IL o'clock last night, the
time being frittered away in discussions upon
unimportsnt bills, and as soon as the Sundry
Civil bill had been engrossed, the Houses ad
journed.
The Senate preserved its dignity, iatact. to
the last, the bostrous conduct, being confined
entirely to the slower House.
THE POTTER INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
The Potter Investigating committee were to
ler and Cox, republicans, were present who
waited till IL o'clock, when, disgusted with
the absence Of their democratic colleagues,
they picked up their hats and quit, determined,
however, to try it again to NOR row.

How VIRGINIANs MARRY.-The train which
arrived here ct 9 o'clock last night via the
Baltimore & Potomac Railroad brought three
passengers from Rappahannock, Va. The trio,
consisting of Messrs. G. W. Putnam, his
brother. Benjamin, and Miss Sallie Louisa
Fishbaok, at once proceeded to the St. James
Hotel, where their rustic appearance excited
attention. After being shown rooms, the latter
gentleman rushed down stairs, and asked the
clerk to send for a minister. The obligng
clerk, who furnishes everything required by the
guests of tho hotel, at once dispatched a waiter
for the nearest clergyman, who happened to be
the Rev. DR.. Nayor, of the Metropolitan
Church. Although just retiring, that gcnte-
man at once waited upon the couple. 10 the
hotel parlors, the groom, tall, roughly clad
man, evidently Virginia farmer of the lower
class, and his bride, pretty, retiring, plainly
dressed girl, were soon NJ ade one, in the pres
ence of number OF guests. - Wash. POST
