HOUSE And SENATE
Once More the National Lawmakers
Assemble in Washington.
IN FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS
Mr.. Reed Makes a Modest Little
Speech OF Acceptance From
the Speakers Chair
The Upper Branch.

Washington, Dec 2.-The house Of
representatives passed to-day into the
control Of the republicans, and Thomas
Bracket Reed of Maine again triumph
antly assumed the speakers gavel.
The opening session was, as usual. an
animated and brilliant occasion, set
Off with crowded galleries in holiday
attire, intoxicated with the perfume of
hundreds of floral tributes to popular
members and pervaded with a spirit OF
tubilation and good nature. Old famil-
lar faces were absent. but there were
plenty Of new ones to take their places.
Still the proceedings themselves. as
usual with opening sessions, were of a
routine character. and devoid Of sensa-
tional features. The house simply or
ganized, adopted the usual resolutions
to notify the president and the senate
that the house was ready for business
and wound UP by indulging In the bi-
ennial lottery or seat drawing contest.
Speaker Reed was beyond question the
star Of the occasion. His appearance
was the signal for a most fiattering
and enthusiastic demonstration. His
inaugural was modest and full of good
feeling, but non-committal as to poll
SAcS' lOWe"SI' IL was not expected
That the speaker would touch upon
questions to be dealt with by the
house. Ex-Speaker Crisp assumed the
leadership of the minority and 1t was
significent that Payne of New York
made a motion which usually devoives
upon the leader of the majority. This
Is taken to mean that he Is to be
chairman OF the ways and means COM
mittee and the recognized leader of the
republicans on the floor.

way.

The charter or act Of Incorporation
Of the Bayou Lafourche & Gulf Rail
way Company is to be filed in the
office of the Clerk and Recorder of AS
sumption parish at Napoleonville to-
day. The instrument names the most
active promoters Of the enterprise,
Messrs. Il. w. Edwards and Alcee
Bouchereau, president and treasurer
respectively. and places the capital
stock at $300,000. The main object of
the corporation is stated to be the
construction and operation Of line of
railway along Bayou Lafourche from
a point on the Mississippi li"er to a
| terminus on or near the Cult OF MeXi-
co. Further particulars as to the
terms Of the instrument will be fur
nished our readers next week.
A prominent citizen of this town,
who has plantation interests and ex-
| tensive family connections in Assump
tion. assures us that the sentiment in
favor Of the proposed railroad among
the property holders and people OF
that parish is very strong and growing
stronger. and that no reasonable
ground exists for doubling that the

New York, March John H. Inman

the following effect:
Preparations for planting the next crop
are very backward this year. and as ths
planting must be completed by May lst AZ
least. the situation in this respect Is far
from encouraging. The main strength IN
cotton lies in the ability of the south TO
make the next crop equal 10 the last under

acreage of the lSa3-94 crop and that Of

crops Of the two seasons show difference
of ..ol0.eoo 10 2-22o.0l0 bales in favor of The
