A ripraplieriol24 relative to the nay of the Sergeant-at-Arms te. cautmontug, witnesses:o, which was passed. The Senate insisted on its amendment to the resolutions relative to the claim of W. W. Cor coran, and agreed to the conference asked by the inapsee . At a few minutes after 10 o'clock the crowd in t e galleries created so much noise, that Mr.Tram ll'appealed to the ladles and gentlemen to keep niet. and told them if they did not the Senate kould have to order the Sergeant-at-Arms to clear the galleries. This appeal and threat pro duced temporary quiet. Mr. Buckalew, as Chairman of the Select Com mittee appointed to investigate the charges of corrupt influences in connection with the im peachment trial, made an oral report to the effect that so far as their investigation-had gone, the Committee had failed to find even the slightest grounds for imputing to any member of the Senate, or to any person connected with any St nator, the use of or subjection to any corrupt, 11 egitimate or improper influence in connection with impeachment, to which he added the ex pression of his penkmal opinion that there uever had been any real foundation for such im putation. Mr. Morrill (Me.), from the Committee of Con ference on the Civil and Miscellaneous Appropri ation bill, made a report, which was agreed to. Mr. Morton moved to take up the resolution in relation to the pay of Senators from the recon structed States. Agreed to. On motion of Mr. Drake, it was laid on the table.

A report from the Conference Committee on the deficiency bill was agreed to. A report from the Conference Committee on the Legislative Appropriation bill was agreed to. A Conference Committee was appointed on the Spanish and Cuban sympathy resolution. Also, on the House bill relative to the claim of W. W. Corcoran, from the Miscellaneous Appropriation bill. A resolution was adopted forbidding the slur render to Mrs. Gen. Lee of the Washington relies taken from the Arling:ton mansion. A bill was passed authorizing the Commis "loner of the Land Office to transfer certain money for the relief of Wright Duryea. No action was taken on the motion to recon eider the concurrent resolutlep as to the debates of Congress. On motion of Mr. Coburn, the doors of the 1 south wing of the capitol were ordered to be thrown open to the public, a cordon of military being stationed around the capitol to prevent access to it. Mr. Spalding, rising to a personal explanation in reference to a remark of his the other day, as to items inserted in the appropriation bill by the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations Mr. Washburne, declared that he bad no • inten- Lion of impugning the conduct and motives of Mr. Washburne, as it seemed he was understood to have done, and nothing was farther from his intentions. After the reassembling of the House at 10 A. M., Mr. Coburn, from the Committee on Con ference on the Supplementary Currency bill, re ported that the committee had been unable to agree. Mr. Eliot (Hasa On mdtion.ofass ), the Senate joint resolution to prevent the extermination of fur-bearlng animals in Alaska was,passett Mr. Kelsey moved to suspend the rules, to pass the bill authorizing the New York, Newfound land and London Telegraph Company to land its- submarine cable.

PPMM!MP I M. ,, TTMffI °7 I 9 9 Weems:G-I.os, March 3, 1869.—An impresaive scene, which will long be remembered by the hundreds who witnessed it,, transpired in the House of Representatives this morning. As soon .s the House had been called to order, Hon, Schuyler Colfax rose to tender his resignation of the office of Speaker, a position he has so ably Ulird for the last six years. The announcement that the resignation would rte tendered to-day was made some days ago, and Mprear ssA desir lln e was treenzur manifeat all quarte rs-v . "- 011E8E8 thereto. It was therefore not surprisingla find 'be galleries of the House crowded at so early an boar as 9 o'clock. Not only was every seat taken at an earlrhottr, but the halls and corridors and doorways were so closely packed that it was im- possible to approach even within hearing dis tance. On the floor every seat was occupied, there being not more than half a, dozen absent mem bers of the Fortieth Congress, while members cleat to the Forty-first Congress occupied seats upon the sofas, or stood in the area back of the outer row of seats. ItilfdiyabtfOl whether such good order was ever before' maintained in gal tortes so crowded and upon the floors of a legisla tive hail so thronged with members. Every one teemed to be deeply impressed with the scene, and the older members of the House who, for six, eight, ten, and some of them even for four teen years, have served in Congress with the re tiring Speaker, seemed to be deeply affected. Mr. McPherson, Clerk of the House, and his immediate asslatante,oceupied seats at the Clerk's desk, and the doorkeepers and other employes cif the House, were ranged about in different parts of the Hall, and all seemed to regret the necessity that compelled the resignation. Speaker Colfax read his valedictory in a voice so clear, and the order maintained was sogood, that his every utterance was distinctly heard, aid as the last word tendering his resignation fell upon the ear, the whole House manifested Ira approbation of his remarks by a round of hearty applause. ARRIVAL OF PHILADELPHIANS TO WITNESS THE IN- AUGURATION The trains from the North today' were densely rowded with passengers to witness the inaugura tion. Indeed, from before daylight this moraine, when the first train arrived, there has been a cos slant succession of arrivals of firemen, military and civic asilociations, and the sounds of the drum and bands of music have been incessant all day along the great thoroughfare of the city— Pennsylvania avenue The Albany Burgess Corps arrived at daybreak, and paraded through the streets to Gen. Grant's leadquarters about noen, when ho received them %ery kindly. The train which left Philadelphia at noon reached here at 5.30, bringing a delegation of the Philadelphia City Councils in a "palace car." Irk this train, also, were the Republican Invincibles, 180 men, under the chief marshalehiP of George Truman, Jr., Esq., accompanied by the Liberty Cornet Band. The President of the Club. WELL McMichael, Esq., also accompanied the party. The Washington Grays, 50 men, Col WEE. C. Ward commanding, came on this train. Also, the Good Will Engine Company, 100 men, Wm. R.

GRANT CRACKS A JOKE WITH SENATOR CAMERON. Among the visitors at General Grant's head quarters this morning wero Senator Cameron and Representative Packed, from the Dauphin District of Pennsylvania, who succeeds Repre sentative Miller. After the usual salutations bad passed, General Grant said : "Senator Cameron, can you tell me who is to oe the representative from Pennsylvania in tho next Cabinet ?" This little piece of pleasantry excited a laugh all around. Cameron thought if Grant did not know, it would be a hard matter for any one oleo to tell who the man was. The interview was brief, and on general subjects. _ . SUSPENSION Or ASSESSOR FRAZIER. Information has been received here of the sue pension of Assessor Frazier, of the First floile Hon District of Pennsylvania, by Supervisor Southwortb, for alleged neglect or failure to make returns a the assessments made upon in ternal revenue stamps in use by distillers and tobacconists.

Edward Mom baking' sent to Earles' Galleries (where they hike the place'of Chnneh's Niagara), two:large compositions in very different styles. °refs Called "Virginia," and represents the sandy theses of Chesapeake Bay in warm afternoon sun, with a wreck in the middle distance, negroes•in a group, live-oak woods and ocean horizon. The other, by contrast, represents the harsh rocky landsdape, the industrial energy, of "Maine." It :s an early morning scene, with attenuated bat defined wreaths of mist lifting from the ocean across the precipitous cliffs. The sun makes a livid spectrum behind the fog. The lobster-fishers are already stirring, and busy themselves in ta king up the cribs they have sank overnight. Both of these pictures have been previously no ticed in our accounts of visits to Mr. Moran's studio. the same establishment, upstairs, Mr. George W. Pettit makes a separate exhibition with his "Hamlet and Ophelia." "Ma have at. ready'aid, and repeat the opinion, that this can vasshows a decided advance over any previous work, by the artist.

(From the St Peril alien.) Dispatch.] Yesterday monong,about 8 or 9 o'clock, Major Von Minden, book-keeper in Dawson et Co.'s bank, who resides in the Fourth Ward, went out to his well to draw a bucketof water. The well is frilly, sixty feet deep, and the water is drawn up by an ordinary windlass and bucket. When the bucket began to raise from the water, Major Von Minden found it incredibly heavy— ten times as heavy as usual. He was surprised at this,lbut determining to see what was the cause, togged away at the windlass. Being blessed with stout Muscle, he slowly wound up the rope. As the bucket reached the_ top, Major Von Minden was surprised to see the hand of a human being hr n7sirrpitee%--but was able to contur' ter um liatlillia up procesif; , , Soon another hand appeared—then the bead of a. woman with her,'long disheveled hair dnpping with water, and her garments satu rated with cold fluid. Here was a genuine sensation—but Major Von Minden did not stop to wonder over it. He only reached over the well box and grasping the half drowned woman, drew her safely out on terra firma. She was fond too benumbed and halt dead to speak, but after being thawed out by the stove managed to explain this singular occur rence. She was fon d to be emian woman, about thirty years o age, who resides In the neighbor hood. She was married a few months ago, bat some of her neighbors having slandered her good name, it annoyed her so that she resolved to commit suicide: She says she jumped into Maj. V.'s well. at 12 o'clock the night previous, head foremost, but the water was not deep enough to drown her and after staying in, the well all night, concluded to get out next morning at the first chance. The well is very narrow, and it is sin gular she did not receive fatal injuries in the downward passage, but only cut her ankle Taken altogether, it is a most singular occur rence, and it is a wonder the woman was not killed, or perished in the cold water.
