Meeting of Congiess.
Congress met on Monday, of this week,
and the moat interesting preliminary to
their meeting was the caucu* of the Re
publican members of the House on the
preceding Saturday to select their candi
date for Speaker. The fight wa- between
Reed of Maine and McKinley of Ohio, and
RH won. receiving 86 of the lte vote
present.
Pennsylvania gave Reed 15 votes on the
fir*t ballot and 16 in the second. The
member from this district, Mr. Townsend;
voted for him. Mr. Adams of Maryland
was selected for Doorkeeper; and Mr.
Holmes o r lowa for SergruU at-Arms.

a giant both physically and mentally.
Monday was a beautiful day in Wash
ington. and the galleries of the House and
Senate were filled to overflowing to see
the opening of the fifty-first Congress. On
the floor of the House old friends were
chatting and joking and the "tumult of
voices was like the roar of {a Dakota lilsz
_ rard."
Mr. Heed was congratulated to the ex
tent of being bored; 321 votes were cast
for Speaker. Heed receiving 166 and Car
lisle 154.
ROI'TIXE OP THE OPESISO.
Of the routine of calling the House to
order bv the Clerk of the last House, Mr.
Clark, of Missouri, the calling of the roll,
the election of the Speaker, the swearing in
of the members, the election of Clerk,
Door-keeper, Sergeant-at-Anna and Post
master, there is little or nothing to say.
It was the traditional nonsense or taking a
great big oath to support the Constitution
and law. etc. It wa» only broken slighty
bv four Pennsylvanian*. whu refused to
■wear in the ancient and orthodox wa)
and were allowed to affirm Of these.
Darlington, of Chester, is a Quaker, ard
\ ry and Rife, of the Seventh and Four
teenth district*, and Bromus, of the 'tenth,
(imply did not want to swear that way.
The fimt big break in the routine was
the defeat of the Republican caucus notni
ne» for chaplain, and it is the first instance
on record when a nominee of the caucus
of the majority suffered defeat.
The blind preacher, Milbum. who did
tiie praying tor the last House, and is a
dved-in the-wool Democrat, would proba
blv have been nominated for Chaplain by
the Republicans had not his record of sym
pathy with the S«»ulberu Confederacy lieen
bruited about. Ramsdell. who was nomi
sated. had been a brave I'tiion Soldier.
Milbum sympathized with the Confederacy
in very recent years, delivering in Virginia
a spe«-h eulogizing tieneral Robert E I/ee.
Notwithstanding this he had many warm
friend* among the Republicans, aud there
wa« a lively effort to bring about his nom
ination. ... .
When it was discovered that several
Republicans were inclined to support Mil
burn. who, it was thought, would be noui
inatcd bv the Democrats, a great effort
was made to whip the schismatics into
hue, but without avail. In the election
of officers he was separated from the
others.

pieacher; Pay win, of Illinois; Stuart, ot
Vermont; Briekner, McCord and Browne,
of Virginia dodged. If these had voted
with their party, the four who left the
party, would not have succeeded ill elect
uaa Democratic Chaplain.
The only "ther episode that amused the
galleries was the drawing for scat 1. This

He recommends the removal of the to ,
bacco tax and the duty on spints used in I
art. and manufacture*. The former is a j
subject that bobs up in congre-s at nearly I
everv session, and the other is a recogni
tion of culture that every message must
contain to be complete.
The president does not think it wise to !
increase the coinage of silver at this time, j
Doubtless this will cause a howl on the
part of the gentlemen who met m conven
tion last week to boom their silver mines,
but congress will have to fight it out wit.i ;
them .
He avoids anv expression of opinion up
on the Bering =ea dispute, merely stating .
what has been done, and giving no inkling j
of what may take place in connection with
the subject in the future.
He pays his respects to trusts, referring
to thein as dangerous conspiracies against
the public pood. In considering the
m' thod of treating them, he declares that
thev should be made the subject of not
only prohibitory but penal legislation,
) which will be heartily endorsed by honest
citizens. ,
I Speaking of naturalization, the president
i thinks the law-; are too loose at present,
and should be amended so Jhat the moral
character of the applicant should be taken
into consideration. Where is he likely to
exercise a corrupting influence upon the
community, the candidate should be denied
not only the privilege of citizenship, but of
domicile. This is an elaboration of the
regulations of Castle Garden that will
doubtless me, - ' general favor.
He ha - rega.-.. tor the old soldiers, saying
that thev should be properly pensioned, in
stead of depending, as is often the case,
upon local charity for sustenance, lie
favors a revision of the pension laws with
this object.
He says that the civ'l service laws are
excellent a- they : .. I .ow. and that he in
tends to stick to • .n. He advises con
gress not to relax its vigilance in watching
their enforcement. He recommends liberal
appropriations to aid in the education and
amelioration of the colored man. He
makes a hit at the southern states, who
claim that they themselves must work out
the problem of negro political emancipa
tion themselves. The question is, in the
uorth, is the south at work upon itT
He close* with a recommendation fur
the message is a good one, and if congress
only acts npon one-half of tha recommend
ations contained in it, we may look for a
very material improvement in the con
dition of the country after next year.

An Epidemic of Elopements.
Kismstox, N. Y., November 30.—The lit
tle hamlet of ltoecoe is at present fairly
alive with domestic infelicities. The gos
sips of the place have all they can possibly
attend to. Here is a brief outline of the
recent naughty doings: It. Stewart de
cided to leave his home and friends, and
taking Mrs. H, Van Wagoner with him,
went over to Pennsylvania. He had hard
ly taken his departure before his wife fol
lowed suit and started with one James
Ostrander for the luuie State. Mr. Van
Wagoner, who had been deserted by his
wife, caught on to a lady from the West
named Blackmail He did not deem it
prudent to go to Pennsylvania so he went
down to Beaverkill a short distance, into
Delaware county, where he is keeping a
sharp lookout for Mrs. Black man's hus
band, in ca-e he should turn up.
The triple ten Ration had hardly subsided
before William Brown ran off with the
wife of Mr. Couklin, and it is believed
they made their way toward the Quaker
City. Mrs. S. Craft then caught the elope
ment fever, and fell in love with a big
stonecutter at Walton. Her husband ar
rived at the conclusion that two could
play at that game, aud is now devoting his
time and tnouey to an attractive looking
woman named Allen. The wife of Daniel
Cole then slid over the Susquehanna with
T B. Summers. It. Cook then left his
spouse and has gone to parts unknown,
anil the last to he added to the list is the
elopement of Mrs. Andrew Sutton with
Z. Whitney.
