At noon to-day the wheels of legislation will
once more begin to revolve. The city Is full of
members and strangers, and the tradespeople
who have been scudding through tho dullness
of the summer are happy. The old faces that
have been conspicuous In the lohby for years,

Teidancy of people having business before

lhe result ot tho content for the Speakership
astonished no one. The plana of Randall were
ripe for action In June last, when It was propos
ed to hold the extra sesolon then, nnd wore only
strengthened by tho lapse ot fear months. The
manner In which Randall worked up his inter
ests Is highly creditable to his skill and discre
tion, and then to hold his strength Intact thro'
four moolb, with his antagonists battering
away without even making a waver a'ong his
whole line. Is even more creditable. The con.
test, when it came to the point, was short, sharp
and decisive, lhe candidates besau to arrive
here about a week asro. Savler being the last on
the gi ouud, being delayed in Ohio to pat ticipute
in the elections there. The membeis did not
reach litre in any numbers uutlt Thursday.
This was the moment for action amonirst the
opposition led by tinyler, Goode, Morrison and
Cox, each of whom flattered himself that he w as
the coming man. It did not require long to de
monstrate very conclusively tuat not one ot
them could muster a coipnral'a guard, anq the
most astonishing fact of all was that there was
not a single btate delegation In whlcn there
weie Democrats, unit itandait did not iiave
some votes, and in mam of them even on the
first ballot a solid vote. At this unctutebay.

combustible son, and therefore would not sup.

Thus th waited in every uirectton. three of

before they went into caucus. Randall was

usual cynical way the tbonght heme obtruded
by tho special act in which Messrs. othorn sod
Florence esKsyed the paits of Othello aud Jago
witn little Lotta us IHvlomona. The iiubilo
naturally imagined th'it Messrs. Sothem and
Florence were going to be fuunynd wnen thev
found that such h hope was lulsp.accd, they fell
huugihy npon Lotta, who could uot withstand
the temptation, to kick her silken train about
with cho lively movement of 'the Little March
ioness." l he people lautrhed at Lotta, but they
looked askance ut Hot hern nnd Fioteuee. Thov
vero terribly chagrined at seeing these fatuous
comedians attempt such Berious pans. So far
aa I am concerned, I urn free to state that I

To a certain extent the peuolo who bouttut

deluded, sothem and Florence, in a butlesque
