The occasion as usual drew a large crowd of politicians, visitors, idlers and curiosity seekers to our Fed eral Capitol. As early as 10 o'clock tlie approaches leading to the building presented a lively appearance, and by 11 every seat in the galleries of the house ot representatives (except in the space reserved for the diplomatic corps) was tilled, even the steps leading to them being utilized as seating places. At VI o'clock, Mr. Abrams, the clerk of the house, called the body to order and announced the opening of the session. He then proceeded to call the roll, beginning with the state of Ala bama. The roll call disclosed the pres ence of 285 representatives-elect, and the list of The absentees was called. Nominations for speaker being then in order, Mr. J.

Randall and Iliscock, and took the oath of office, which was administered by Mr. Kelley, cf Pennsylvania, as the oldest member of the house in point of service. The organization of the house was completed by the election of Edward McPherson, of Pennsylvania, as clerk; G. W. Hooker, of Vermont, sergeant at-arms; W. P. Brownlow, of Ten nessee, doorkeeper; Henry Sherwood, of Michigan, postmaster; Rev. F, I). Powers, of Virginia, chaplain. No other business of importance was done and the house adjourned at 5. 25.
