THERTY-FIFTH C02JGBESS.
Both Ilouscs of Congress organized on Mon
day Iho 7th December.
- In the Senate, in the absence of the Vice
President Mr. Breckcnridge, Fitzpatrick of
Alabama was chosen President of that body.
Johnston of Tennessee, and Clark of New
Hampshire, new members, were sworn in by
Mr. Bright, the oldest member.
The usual resolutions were adopted for the
appointment of committees to inform the
House and the President of the United States
that the Senate was organized and ready for
the transaction of business. The Senate then
went into Executive session and confirmed the
nomination by the President of George W.
Bowman, editor of tho Bedford Gazette, as Su
perinfendant of Public Printing, after which
an adjournment took place, no other business
being transacted. - :
In the House two hundred and twenty-one
members answered to their names, when an e
lection for Speaker took place, which resulted
in the election of James L. Orr of South Caro
lina, the democratic nominee. The Republi
cans in caucus nominated Mr. Grow of Penn
sylvania, and the vote stood, Orr, 128 ; Grow,
81 ; scattering, 13. Mr. Orr was declared du
ly elected, and was conducted to the Chair by
Stephens of Georgia, and Banks of Massachu
setts. The oath of office was administered
by Mr. Giddins. The new Speaker on tak
ing the Chair, delivered an appropriate ad
dress. Tho members were then sworn in, af
ter which Mr. Allen of Illinois, was elected
Clerk, Mr. Glosscnbrcnncr, Sergcant-at-Arras,
and Mr. Ilackey, Doorkeeper. Mr. Cluskey
was declared Postmaster by resolution.
Mr. Florence of Pennsylvania, gave notice
of his intention to introduce a bill for tho en
tire suppression of all back notes as currency,
or bank notes of a less denomination than one
hundred dollars, as a circulating medium in
the District of Columbia, after which the
House adjourned.
-lu the Senate, on Tuesday, upon a motion
to print the President's message, Mr. Douglass
took occasion to say that he concurred in all
the President had expressed, except that por
tion relative to Kansas and the Lecompton
constitution, and that at an early day he would
piva his reasons for believing tli.it the people
of the Territory had n?t been left to r-'gulate
their own affairs in their own way, as guaran
tied by the organic act. Mr. Stuart of Michi
gan, concurred with Mr. Douglass. Messrs.
lUris, Mason and Bigler supported the views
of tho President. Messrs. Hale, Seward and
Trumbull attacked the Kansas Lecompton con
stitution and the position of the Executive,
rending a motion that all the printing be exe
cuted by tho printer to the Senate at the Lust
cession the Washington Cnion the Senate
adjourned.
Tho House was engaged in discussing the
question of the election of a printer, but ad
journed without coining to any conclusion.
In the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr. Douglas
commenced the discussion of the Kansas ques
tion. Ho denounced the President's message
as containing a radical and fundamental error,
and maintained that he could not endorse the
Lecompton Convention without violating the
principles of the bill and stultefying himself.
He proceeded to Bhow that Congress could not
ITOpcrly receivo Kansas into the Union under
this bogus Convention, and said that the whole
constitution must be submitted, to ascertain
whether or not it meets with the approbation
ot the people of the territory. He was re
plied to by Mr. Bigler, who endeavored to de
fend the position of the President. Alter a
long discussion, most hurnilitating to the Sen
ator from Pennsylvania, the Senate adjourned.
The House elected Mr. Steadnian (Dem.)
printer, ever Mr. Weston, (Rep.) The mem
bers then selected their seats by lottery, and
an adjournment took place.
Both Houses of Congress on Thursday met
and presently adjourned till Monday, in order,
we presume, to oflord time for the appointment
of the nsual Committees. In the Senate, Mr.
Douglas gave notice of a bill to enable the
people of Kansas to form a Constitution and
Ktitn fiovernment. preparatory to their admis
sion into the Union. We shall await with
interest the appearance of this bill; if its
provisions arc perfectly fair to the much in
jured people of the Territory, its passage may
Indeed put an end to the wrongs of which
they have been the victims, and restore to
them the peace and tranquility of which so
crcatly they stand in need.
In tho Honse, Mr. Stephens of Ga. offered
a book-distributing resolution, which was a
dopted. Mr. Letcher of Va. took ground a

The Mormos War. The advance forces of
the Utah army were in the South Pass in the
middle of October, at which time Col. Smith
had effected a junction with Col. Johnston.
Col. Alexander's command was a little beyond
Ham's Fork. The Mormons had made anoth
er stroke at bis snpplies and had run oft" 400
of the cattle w hich belonged to the trains they
burned on the 5th Oct. The Indians as yet
are neutral. Col. Alexander had received
from Brigham Young a copy of a proclamation
in which he styles the U. S. troops "an armed
mob," and the inhabitants of the Tercitoiy
are exhorted to resist them. Despatches from
Col. Johnston reached Washington a few days
since. From these it appears that Col. John
ston does not design entering Salt Lake City
till Spring. He intends to foim a junction
with Col. Alexander at the mouth of Fonte
nclle Creek, about thirty miles from that offi
cer's present camp at Ham's Folk, and not tar
from seventy miles from his own camp at tho
South Pass. He will winter at Henry's I ork

FOR THE Ct ltE OF
Bronchial nfTections.Coughs, Colds, Pleurisy, Eroa
chitis, Asthma, and nil other diseases of the throa
nnd lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
the recipe of a regular physician, who during a
practice of twenty-five years, used it with unpar
alleled success. It is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simple in their character and used
by every educated physician. It is easily taken,
produces no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
nnd gives nlmost immediute relief. In this ever
changing climate, where coughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, r.o family
should be without this certain clue.
It would be easy to follow in thewakcof theven
dcrs of patent medicine, and multiply certificates
got up tor the occasion, of miraculous cures, but no
such adventitious aid is necessary in introducing
this preparation to tho public. I ts real value, and
never failing success, in accomplishing all promis

DAILY TELECRAPII FOR THE SES
SION. PR 10SED ENLARGEMENT.
The. llirrishitrz; Daily Telcg-ripk is now in the
second year of its existence. It started last fall
rather ns an experiment, and has succeeded be
yond the most sanguine expectations of its publish
ers. It has gradually won its way to public favor,
until it has placed itself upon a firm and sure ba
sis, and is now one of the permanent "institutions'
of the Capitol. It shall be the effort of the pub
lishers to continue it in the gpirit in which it has
been conducted, to add to its general nnd local in
terest, and to merit its steadily increasing patron
age : and should its increased patronage in sub
scription nnd advertising be commensurate with
their hopes and expectations, it is their intention
to enlarge it about the first of January next, by
the addition of four more columns. This will give
ug additional room for onr advertising patrons,
without intrenching upon the space allotted to the
reading matter. During the Legislative session
it is the most desirable paper in the State. The
paper will be stricth, neutral iu politics.
During the approaching session of the Legisla
ture, it is our intention to make the "I'AILV Tel
F.unApii" a correct and rc-Iiniile exponent of the
doings of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. With
this view, a corps of competent Reporters will be
employed in each House. The session will be one
of more than ordinary importance. The derange
ment of the currency, and the peculiar position of
the Ranks, will require, or, at least, will excite
much legislation. Incorporated companies for
manufacturing, mining and other purposes, will
also require much legislation.: It shall be our
province to present to the readers of. the Telegraph
fnll and impartial legislation upon these and all
other subjects, wherein they may bo interested.
Business men throughout the State, who desire
a correct knowledge of the doings of their repre
sentatives during the sessions of the Legislature,
and there are many such, do not properly appre
ciate the Telegraph Through its columns they
can obtain this knowledge, and also receive tne
very latest news of the day, domestic and foreign,
by telegraph nnd mails; nnd will bee perfect
mirror of the news throughout the world. Per
sons who desire correct information., nnd who once
take the TrJetrraplr. would not do without it again.
The Local department will bo attended to as u
sual, and will give a faithful record of everything
of interest occurring in our immediate midst.
Tho Teifraph will be published every evening,
fSundavs excepted.) on inc oiiuin terms:
