Closing- Scenes of Hie First Ses
sion of Jhe 39lli Congress.
It is a difficult task which we have im
posed on ourself to portray the closing
cent9 of trie first fession of the S9th
Congress; still as our readers may desire
to heir frrtm us respecting this adjourn
ment, we will endeavor to sive such salient
poiuts of interest as revealed themselves
to us during the long night of the 27ih
and the morniDg of the 28th ultimo
Early in the evening of the 27th, and a?
the hour for the meeting of the two
Houses approached, throngs of people
were seen wending their tray to the Capi
tol,; where the "assembled wisdom of the
nation" was gathered, tu givo the finish
ins touches to such legislation as was
deemed needful to the country's welfare.
On they rushed, a mas of brave men with
ft preponderance of fair women, till the
rotunda, corridors and galleries were filled
almost to overflowing with living, think
ing human beings, gathered to see what
Congress would do in the last hours of its
first session."
The first point of attraction was the
rotunda, where the crowds centered to
witness the novel method of lighting the
dome with Gardiner's electrical battry,
by which some two hundred gas-jets are
ignited'in an instant by electricity. The
dome and the tholtis above the dome when
fully illuminated, present a mot brilliant
display, and can be seen for miles around.
The tholus, particularly, makes a magnif
icent exhibition, presenting the appear
ance of a column of fire some fifteen feet
high. The crowds were ome time pas
fing throush the rotunda and on to the
caHaries of either House, but at last these
spaciou receptacles were filled to their
utmost capacity.
Urinous commenced at precisely 7 1
O'clock, and the members addressed them
selves to t ho work in hand, determined to
continue in Ression till everything in the
shape of " legislation necessary to be done
had been accomplished. There was a
constant buzz of voices on the floor, and
an almost constant ringing of the Speak
er's mace, with cries of order and motions
to amend this bill and that, till a looker
ou who did not know how these things
are done would come to the natural con
clusion that the Representative chamber
was but a second Babel. But :n the
midst of all this disorder, there pits, calm
and collected, a clerkly looking man, who
is able to evoke order out of chaos and to
bo direct the course of legislation that the
good sought fr in the shape of laws is
readily attained and the evil avoided
and that man is the Speaker of the House,
lion. Schuyler Colfax,
f Every stranger visiting the ITouc is
at once struck by the noie at'd confusion
there existing; but in course of time, one
becomes accustomed to that sort of thing,
and learns to consider it an inseparable
adjunct to the business of legislating.
The Senate, being a much smaller body,
is also a much more dignified body, and
transacts its business with becoming calm
ness and moderation.
On this last eight of the session, much,
very -much business was accomplished in
both Houses, and the clerks of either were
kept constantly employed in conveying
messages and bills backward and forward.
The most interesting part of the proceed
ings of the Iloue was the uiecussiou which
arose upon a joint resolution passed by the
Senate modifying the test oath, or setting
it aside, to enable Judge Patterson, son-in-law
of President Johnson and Senator
elect from Tennessee, to take his scat in
the U. S. Senate. The speeches were all
able, those of Mr. Shellahergcr End Mr.
r Iloscoe Conkiing particularly so. The
iTcnnessee members took part iu the de
bate, Messrs. Maynard ar.d Taylor in favor
of the resolution of the Senate, and Col.
Stokes against it. The latter made a
thrilling and intensely interesting speech,
and showed himself to be a genuine Uuion
man. The resolution was lost by a deci
sive vote, and thus the nation, despite the
course of the Senate, was saved the hu
miliation and disgrace of a modification or
abrogation of the test oath.
The civil appropriattoa hilt had to run
the gauntlet between the two Houses, and
camo at last Very near being lost, all in
consequence of a -Tidcr" which was tack
ed on it, in the shape of the bill to equal
ize the bounties of soldiers. The IIoue
was determined to carry the latter meas
ure, while the Senate was equally deter
mined to defeat it. A compromise was
at Itngth effected, and the soldiers will
gel a bounty not ?o large as the House
desired, tut still considerably better than
nothing.
This Congress has been a working body.
It has passed a large number of bills and
resolutions, and placed much important
legislation upon the statute-book. It has
had to do with great and grave questions,
mightier by far than any that ever before
came before Congress. It fias met its
responsibilities with becoming firmness,
and when the passions and partizan prej
udices of the hour shall have beeu moder
ated, by time, the irreversible verdict of
history will be that the 39th Congress
saved the nation.
Tlie Xew Orleans Rebel Riot.
The story of the troubles in New Orleans
is easily compressed if to nutshell limits.
Certain citizens of Louisiana, whose adhe
rence to the National Government is of a
date anterior to the overthrow of the
rebellion, acting by virtue of an election
the validity of which was recognized by
President Lincoln, had determined to
re-assemble.
Upon so doing1, they were mobbed, and
many of them shot and others murdered
The rebel Mayor of New Orleans takes
side with the rioters.
President Johnson upholds the rebel
Mayor, and makes' an ex-cffi;er in the
rebel army Military Dictator.
But that President Johnson and all
parties connected with this riot may not
be judged rashly nor unjustly, let us
examine minutely as to the true stats of
the case.
On the 11th of January, 1SG1, Gen.
Banks, then in command at New Orleans,
declared martial law to be the fundamental
law of the State, and ordered an election
of State officers on February the 22d,
following. Consequently, nu election was
held as ordered, and Michael llahn elec
ted Governor. On the loth of March of
the same year, Governor Hahn was inves
ted by President Lincoln with the author
ity and powers of a Military Governor.
On the 11th of March, Genera! Banks
issued an order permitting the election
of delegates to a Constitutional Conven
tion. On the lGth, Governor Hahn
authorized the sheriff to proclaim the
holding of an eleetion, and it was accord
ingly field on the 23th of the same month.
Although elections wetc held only in
parishes within the Federal lines, ninety
seven delegates were elected. On the7th
of April, the Convention was rrganized,
and E. II. Durell chosen Presideut. On
the 25th of July, after sitting for seventy
eight days and framing a Constitution to
be submitted to the people, the Conven
tion adjourned, not sine die, but until again
assembled. On the 5th of September,
the Constitution was adopted, G.SoG votes
being cast foj it and 1,5CG against it. In
the fall of 18(35, J. Madison Welles was
duly eieeted Governor by an overwhelm
ing majority, on a poll of about 30,000
votes. 11. K. Howell, President pro. tcm.
of the Convention, some time ago issued a
call rcconv. iking the Convention of the
30th of July , ultimo. Governor "Welles
on the 27th issued a proclamation in con
formity with a resolution of the Conven
tion, ordering an election on the 3d day
of September, of delegates to the Conven
tion. The 30th of July came, and the
Convention met Scarcely was it assem
bled,' however, until the building in vhich
it met was surrounded by a mob. Ou the
part of the anti-Convention party, it is
asserted the riot began by a quarrel
between a whre man and a negro, the
negro being the aggressor. We do not
admit this in point of fact, but simply for
the sake of the argument. The members
of the Convention were shot at ; some of
them wounded, others stabbed, and others
killed, and the city for a time was under
control of the mob. Forty persons in all,
and nearly all or therr. hearty Unionists,
lost their lives. The police under direc
tion of the Mayor arrest the members of
the ton veu turn. He telegraphs to the
President, aud the latter telegraphs to
the Governor, and ascertaining from him
that lie had proclaimed au .election of
delegates to the Convention from districts
not representtd thereiu, the President at
once replies to the Attorney General,
investing; him with the powers of a
Military Dictator. f The P resideut declares
that "No usurpation will be tolerated."
Whcuce came his power to ignore a duly
elected Chief Magistrate of a State, and
virtually to make a Governor out of an
Attorney General by his mere dictum, if
not by the rankest usurpation ? II the
prophet Nathan justly charged David with
the murder of Uriah, wo cannot discern
why President Johnson may not with
equaT justice be charged as au accessory'
to the murder of the Ne7 Orleans
Unionists. -" "
Reconstruction - or Tennessee.
After a six months fight with the President
against the admission of loyal representatives
from Tennessee, the House on Friday last
passed the resolution admitting Tennessee to
representation, by a vote of 125 to 12. Even
Stevens voted for it. The twelve voting
agninst it are all Republicans. This is a
great victory for the President and his friends.
Th majority of the Radicals could not stand
out against public opinion any longer. Two
weeks ago every man who favored the admis
sion of representatives from Tennessee was
denounced by the Radical majority in Con
gress and their friends aa no better than
traitors and "Copperheads." Like Billy Big
ler, this faction pf '-pure patriots" are getting
weak in the knees.
When the Constitutional amendments wrre
passed through both Ilouse3, no State then
out in the told was to be admitted until the
amendments should be ratified by three
fourths ol the States. But here is a suddfn
change of the radical programme, and we
hope there may be further changes until every
State in the Union has a loyal representation
in Congress. This Andrew Johnson asks tor,
and if the present Congress fails to grant
such representation, the nest will. Hunting
don Globe. '.
The above paragraph is refreshingly
cool, and we have rarely met sueh a com
mingling of fact and fancy, of truth and
error, and f-ucli a confounding of principles
obviously distinct. Truth, however, in
the article, bears but a flight proportion
to the amount of enor, fancy and romance.
The writer must have drawn largely upon
his imagination, but if lie expects the
public to accept his statements as the truth
in the premises, he has shot widely from
the mark this time.
He states the simple truth when he
says that tbe House "passed the resolution
admitting Tennessee to representation hy
a vote of 125 to 12," t-nd this is all there
is in it that bears any resemblance to the
real question at i.-sue. Instead of this
action being a great victory for tUc Pres
ident and his friends, it is a great victory
for Congre-s and the liadicals." The
writer's as.-umptions aie strangely at
variance with the real facts in the case,
fur the President has abandoned his policy,
and not Congress theirs. If public opin
ion has moved anybody ia the last two
weeks, the Provident is' the" party affected.
The Radical Congress reniaius firm. It
has abandoned no single idea of recon
struction with which it started, but holds
on its course steadily, a:ul will hold on to
the end. If the editor of the Cole will
read the Presidents own words, he cannot
fail to see who caves iu.
It is not true that when the Constitu
tional amendment was passed through
both Houses of Congress, it was deter
mined to keep all the States "out in the
cold" till three-fourths of the States rati
fied the amendaieut ; and the Radicals
therefore have made no sueh sudden
changes as the editor of the Glole flip
pantly declares thej to have mado.
T talk about the Radicals not being
?;ble to stand out against public opinion
any longer, is to talk nonsense. 'Tis the
President and bis friends that cannot
staud the pressure.

An Oed Coin. J. T. Boyd, Lsq., of
Beaver, Pennsylvania, while, at work iu
his garden, found a piece of gold coin,
which weighs within two penny-weights
of an ounce, and which bears the date ot
A. I) 529. This makes the coin, incred
ible hs it my seem, 1337 years old. The
coin itself is a Spanish piece, and was
fouud in the ground on which the old
Fort M'Intosh stood. It is supposed to
have beeu carried to this" place by some
one of the officers at one time quartered
in the Fort. Mr. Boyd has refused fifty
dollars for his relic, and prefer to hold
on to it himself. It is certainly a quaint
piece of money, and has an ae that
reaches a great distance back.

Some riain la IU Willi Couan.
Hon. Samuel A. Puryianca, member of
the National Union Executive Committee,
has written a letter to Edgar Cowan with
reference' to the Philadelphia 14th of
August Convention, in which he admin
isters a terrible excoriation to the apostate
Senator. We make the following extract :
"Your Convention has not yet assetn-'
bled, and it may not yet bo too late for
ou to retract. No man, no matter how
high a 'position he may occupy, should
feel ashamed to conform his. action to the
wisli3s of the people who conferred upon
him the trut he holds. You and the
President received yours from the loyal men
North and South,' aud not from the Yal
landighams, Pendletons, Woods, Sey
mours, Reeds, and others like them, and
as high minded, honorable men, finding
you have made a mistake, coufess it aod
eschew all further connection with the
Convention of the 14th of August. The
city which contains Independence Hall,
in which President Lineolu, on his way
to Washington, in 18G1, declared his
willingness to" suffer martyrdom rather
thau sacrifice . the principles of freedom,
aud the same hall in which his martyred
remains lay instate in 1SG5, ought uot
to be desecrated' by any such assemblage
ol Rebels as will doubtless be there. In
that body there may be' some Union
loving, loyal Democrats and .Republicans,
and to them I mean no disrespect ; but
they wiil be in a proportion eo smU that
the sprinkling ol ail their suit v.ill uot
confer upou the putrid character ol that
body the slightest savor, and they will
find, wh.cn perhaps it is too late, that
their contact with so foul an assemblage
will result iu their political destruction
more tdf etually thau if they hud been
members ol the infamous Huitloiu Con
vention. "Your call, emauuting as it docs from
your-elf and a few proles.sed Union men
in Washington City, meets with vnu
response from the loyal Union men of the
States, and iu this, ha banner Union
county ol the nation (Alleghany eouuty,
in whi'di Mr. Lincoln received ten thou
.-and majority, there is not a single Union
voter who will enJorse the 'proceedings of
the Convention of tiie 14th of Augu.-i, a
now foreshadowed. If there be an excep
tion to this, it wi'l be onti'ted to the lew
upon whom the national oil: cos have been
conferred.
. "In conclusion, I sincerely hope that
you may yet withdraw from all eonncetior;
with what is now apparent to you vvill be
nothing more th:m a rebel assemblage,
and that )ou will counsel the President
to do the same, and thai tho National
Union party, alter having fought and won
the po.e.r of the Government, may be
saved the disgrace of having it handed
over through treachery to the diseoui lined
leoeis.
