#j?atrgjRr $fe-ektrr ^etegcapfr'Bttik 3m*ttt?rt $i The MeetinK of the House* of Con* grew. Washington, November 0.—The con vening of Congress always attracts to the Capitol a large number of siglitseeers, and tbe reassembling of tlie forty-slxtli Con gress proved no exception to the rule. Long before 12 o’clock'the galleries of tlie House were filled with spectators await ing the rap of the Speaker’s gavel. On f'ie floor the customary handshakings If ic indulged in, while the members congratulated ono another on their re- election or exchanged condolences upon their defeat. At exactly 12 o’clock tbe Speaker called the House to order. The chaplain, Itev. Mr. Harrison, oflered prayer. The Speaker then directed the clerk to call the roll. Wamhnoton, December 0. — In tlie Senate, Hr. Thurman offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing tbe Secre tary of tlie Senate to inform the House of tbe readiness of the Senate for business, . and a resolution, oflered by Mr. Bayard, sending the same information to tlie Pres ident by a committee, actiug witii a simi lar committee of tbe House, was also adopted. On motion of air. Wallace, a recess of thirty minutes was taken pend ing tlie reports of tbe committees afore said. When the Senate reassembled at 12:45, a message was received from the House announcing that a quorum of that body wss assembled and ready to proceed to business, and, on motion of Mr. Thur man, a recess was taken until 1:30 p. m. At 1*30 the Senate was again celled to order aud the committee appointed to wa.t. on the President reported, through tbeir chairman, Sir. Bayard, that they had done so, and that the President had ex pressed his intention to presently commu nicate his views in writing. A moment afterwaids Ids private secretary, W. K. l'ogcre, apjieared and delivered tlie mes sage of the President, which the Vice President laid before the Senate, and tlie reading of which was at once begun by the Secretary of the Senate. After the reading of the message it was ordered to be printed ami laid on tlie table, aud, on motion of Senator Wallace, the Senate adjourned. lu tbe House, the roll call showed 227 present—more than a quorum. The clerk was directed to infixm the Senate that tbe House was ready to proceed with business. On motion of Mr. Blount, the Speaker was requested to appoint a com mittee to wait upon the President and in form him that the House was ready to re ceive any communication which he might transmit to it. The Speaker appointed Messrs. Blount, Kelley anil Singleton, of Illinois, as such committee. A number of bills were introduced, and the House took a recess for thirty minutes, after which tlie message was received ami read at the clcik’s desk. When tlie reading of the message was concluded it was ordered printed and referred to tlie committee of the whole. Mr. Bickneii, who had previously asked if it was in order to take up the Senate joint resolution prescribing the method of counting the e.’ectorrl vote, ahain endeav ored to call up that resolution, the consid eration of which had been postponed until to-day. Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, raised tlie point Of order that to-day being Monday, tlie gentleman from Indiana (Uickncll) co id not take tlie floor aud prevent members from moving to suspend tlie rules. Tha Speaker ruled that the motion to sus pend (lie rules was ono ot privilege. He wished, however, that the question be per mitted to lie over for a day, so as to af ford him an opportunity to inquire wheth er the joint resolution preceded that of privilege. Mr. Conger, of Michigan, objected to that course. He did not desire any con tinuing orders. Mr. Cox, of New York—“Give us a vote on i\” Mr. Conger—“No.” Mr. Bickifbll demanded a decision of tbe question as to whether bis joint resolution preceded the question of privilege. Mr. Conger, of Michigan, moved to ad journ, pending which Mr. Brtezs, of New Hampshire, announced tlie iliatli of his colleague, E. W. Farr, and then, out of respect to tlie memory of tlie deceased, the House, at 3:45, adjourned. The Senate joint resolution not being a continuing or der cannot come up to-morrow, except as a privileged question, but tbe Speaker will undoubtedly be called upon to decid ' that question; . . Tbu gdileriC-s of the Senate chamber were filled with spectators some time be fore tlie time for the opening of tlie session. About two-thirds ot tlie 'Senators were present, and there was a general greeting anil congratulation among them. At 12 o’clock tbe Vice President called the Sen ate to order, tnd Chaplain Bullock deliv ered prayer. The first business transacted was the reading of the credentials or James L. Pugh, elected to All tlie uuexpired term of George S. Houston, deceased, as Senator from Alabama, aud swearing in of Mr. Tiigli. Tlie credentials of Joseph E. Brown, elected by the legislature of Georgia to fill tlie uuexpired terra of General John B. Gordon as Senator from that State, were read, and Mr. Brown was duly sworn in. General William B. flaxen was to-day appointed chief signal officer or the army. Tbe following Is a resolution which Weaver, of Iowa, desired to offer to-day: Whereas, Grave abuses exist in the management of commerce between tlie States, whereby the producing and ship ping Interests of the country are constantly compelled to pay the most unjust and exorbitant rates for transportation; there fore, Reaolted, That in the judgment of this House it is the duty of the general gov ernment to at once exercise itsconstitu- ional rights to regulate commerce be tween the States by the passage ofsucb laws and establishing such regulations as will secure to the whole people just and impartial rates for the transportation of both freight and passengers. Washington, D. C. Dec., 7.—In the Senate, Mr. Jonas presented the creden tials of Hon. Tiios. C. Manning, appointed by the Governor of Louisiana as Senator, to fill the place of H. M.

Adopted. The Speaker proceeded to call the com mittees for reports. Wasiiixoton, December 7.—No busi ness was transacted by the Senate in ex ecutive session to-day, except to refer to the appropriate committees tbe nomina tions that wens received from the Presi dent yesterday. The House committee on commerce held a meeting this morning and began work on tlie river and harbor bill. They will meet in lull committee on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the bill Is per fected. In tlie absence of Chairman Atkins, Representative Blount, of Georgia, pre sided at a meeting of tlie House commit tee on appropriations to-day. Report* were received from the sub-committees in charge of the petitions, military academy, fortifications, consular and diplomatic ap propriation bills, all of which are fairly advanced. It is thought that three if not all of these bills will be ready to report to the House Thursday. Tbe sub-comroit- tec on the consular and diplomatic bill will hold a conference with Secretary Evarts to-day, and expect to perfect the bill in a few days. The committee ad journed to Thursday. The House committee on pnbhc lands will meet to-morrow for the consideration of Delegate Brent’s (Washington Territo ry) bill to extend tbe land laws of the United States over the Territory of Alas ka. Washington, D.

Section 2. All laws or parts of laws in conthct with this act are hereby repealed. At the meeting of the ways aud means committee of tlie House this morning the refunding bill was taken up. After some discussion of the subject, a motion was made by Representative Tucker, of Vir ginia, and unanimously carried, that the chairman be authorized to amend the re funding bill now before Congress by In serting “llnee per cent.” wherever the words “three and a half” occur. It is be lieved by the committee that the time has at rived wlicu a three per cent, bond can be floated at par. The committee ad journed Ic Thursday at 1030 a.m. The Republican Senators beld a caucus this morniii" to determine what changes, if any, should be made in the minority representation on tlie Senate committees for this session. It was agreed that, with the exception of one or two unimportant changes, the Republican membership shall remain as at present. Washington, D. C., December 7.— In tbe House, the call having been con cluded without the presentation of any reports, Mr. BickeJl called up, as a ques tion of privilege, tlie resolution relative to tiie counting of the electoral vote. Mr. Keifer raised tbe point of order that the resolution did not present a question of privilege. Debate easued, in which Messrs. Bickneii and Springer maintained that whatever related to the constitutional right of the two houses to declare the electoral vote was a question of privilege. The House had certain powers relative to the election of President. It, and it alone, must determine when tlie contingency arises which was contemplated in the con stitution, when it (tlie House,) must act in tlie matter aiul choose a President. Mess.s. Keifer and Robesou contended that a concurrent resolution proposing a joint mie to prescribe the mode of count ing tlie electoral vote was not a question of privilege. TlieJPresident of tlie Senate alone hail tlie right to count tlie electoral vote. The House could not make a con tingency and tiien declare that it had aris en, and proceed to elect a President. The House, they maintained, had nothing to do witii tlie making of the contingency. Mr. Springer replied that the House was llio sole judge of the question of fact whether or not tlie contingency has aris en. It in list determine when, under tiie constitution, it must choose a President, and the President chosen will be Presi dent of the United States. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, argued that the matter presented was a questiou of privi lege, and that tbe President of the Senate was merely the vehicle or medium be tween the electors and the two Houses of Congress. After some further debate, in which Mr. Conger, of Miciiigan; Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi; Mr. Updegraff, of Iowa; and Mr. Whittborue, of Tennessee, partici pated. tiie Speaker said tnat the uniform practice, certainly recent practice, goes to the extent of showing that the twe houses do count and have counted the electoral vote. If the chair were to refuse on tech nicalities to alloW an adjustment between the two houie9 as to the government of the houses when in joint session, it might lead to confustOD, chaos, and perhaps commotion, and, in the opiuion of the chair, it makes no difference by whom the votes are counted. If done by tin? two houses, it is the highest duty they have to perform. If done by any other person, it must be done In tbe presence of the two houses; so that any rule relating to a Joint meeting is a question of the very highest privilege, and he must so rule. Mr. Bickell iliendenianded tho previous question, and the Democrats refusing to allow tbe Republicans unlimited time for debate, tlie latter filibustered to prevent action. For a time it seemed tliat the House would come to a dead lock, but Bricknell finally. withdrew his de mand for the previous question, and Keifer delivered a written argument against the pending measure, which he characterized as a measure which might lead to bloodshed and war. At the con clusion of his speech, tiie subject went over fertile present, and tbe House ad journed. Washington, December 8.—In the Senate, Mr. Morgan introduced a joiut resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution ns to section- two of article twelve, the amendment giving Congress authority to establish rules and regula tions for certifying, transmitting, receiving and opening the votes of electors, and for counting such votes by the two houses; for declaring the result of the election, aDd for the government of the body while convened; such laws not to be rc-cnactcd, altered, amended or repealed within a year before the time fixed for tlie appoint ment of electors in any State. Referred to a select committee on election of presi dent and vice president. Tho Vice President submitted a com munication from tho Secretary of tho Treasury, recommending an appropria tion of SI02,000 for the deficiency In the current year’s appropriation for interest aud sinking fund on the 3.05 District of Columbia loan, caused by redeeming the outstanding board of audit certificates in such bonds. Referred. Mr. Kernan introduced a bill to provide for the refunding of certain taxes in con formity with decisions of tiie Supreme Court. The Senate is considering bills during tbe morning hour. The Vice-President submitted a com munication from the Secretary of War recommending action by Congress upon tbe estimates of tbe Mississippi rircr im provement commission for certain initial works. Tiie estimates amount to $5,133,- 000. Mr. Randolph gave notice of an amend ment in the nature of a substitute for the relief of Fitz John Porter. At 1 p. m. tlie Senate went into execu tive session. When the doors were reopened at 135 the Senate adjourned. In the House, after the reading of tlie journal, Shelley,of Alabama,presented tbe credentials ofNewton M. Clements, mem ber elect from tlie sixth congressional district of Alabama, and tliat gentleman appeared at tbe bar of the House and was qualified, taking the modified oath. Mr. F. Wood, of New York, said that at the last session lie had given notice tliat he would this day call up the funding bill for consideration, hut as gentle men were desirous of finishing the debate on tlie question which had been under consideration yesterday, lie would omit calling it up until the electoral resolution had been disposed of. Mr. Conger, of Michigan, requested Mr. Wood to repeat his statement. In reply, Mr. Wood stated lie proposed that the House should do its work sod exclude from its deliberations everything of a par tisan or useless character. It was Ills in tention to call up tlie funding bill N imme diately after tlie electoral resolution had been disposed of. Mr. Conger—The gentleman propose: to call it np this session? Mr. Wood—I propose to call it up as soou as the gentleman aud bis frieuds shall have exhausted discussion on the other proposition. Mr. Conger—Why should the gentle man wait with such important public measures before him to discuss apolitical question ? Mr. Wood—I am not obliged to answer that question, and I move to dispense with the morning hour. This motion was defeated by the Re publicans, and the Speaker proceeded to call the comuit-ees, but no hills ot a pub lic «’iaracter were reported. Mr. McCook, of New York, introduced a joint resolution authorizing the Presi dent to place U. S. Grant on tlie retired list of the army with tlie rank and pay of General, as a recognition of his eminent services. Referred. Washington, December 8. — In the House, Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, chair man of tbe committee on banking, intro duced as a substitute fur tbe fuuiiiug bill a bill authorizing tho Secretary of the Treasury to issue Treasury notes iu de nominations of ten dollars aud upward to tlie amount of $600,000,000 such notes to bear interest at a rate not exceeding 4 per cent., and to be exchanged or used in tlie payment of 5 and 0 per cent, bouds of tVe United States maturing in 1681; also providing that all coin in the treasury in excess of one hundred millious of dollars which is to be held for the redemption of legal tenders, shall be used for the pur chase or redemption of any of such 0 per cent, bonds as mature in 1860. Referred to tiie committer on ways and means. Tlie House then resumed consideration of tho Senate concurrent resolution rela tive to the electoral count. Mr. Robeson made an argument of con siderable length against the theory that the hpuscs ot Congress had the right to count tho electoral votes. His objection to tiie present resolution was iounded on tha fact that Congress had no power to act judicially upon, to reject or to re ceive, tlie vote of any State. Mr. Hunton, of Virginia, asked what was to be done in case a committee of the House reported tliat tlie certificate of any State was a forged certificate. Who would have the power to pass on the question of forgery ? .Mr. Robeson replied that, in ills opinion, neither the Vice President nor tho two houses bad any inherent authority, or au thority given by tlie constitution, to pro nounce judicially on the question. Mr. Hunton said tiie point he wished to make was, whether tlie power to count did not carry witii it the power to deter mine what was to be counted. Suppose, said he, the gentleman were sent to count a flock of sbeep, and some goats lia<l gotten mixed up in it, would he couut tlie goats? In his (Iluutoii’s) opinion, who ever counted the electoral votes must act judicially. Mr. Robeson continued to deny tha! Congress bad any power whatever in tlie matter, and said, if the power to throw out fraudulent or forged certificates rested anywhere it rested with the president of tlie Senate. All Congress was'authorized by the constitution to do was, to bo present when the president of the Senate, as min isterial oiliccr, performed his functions. Mr. Robeson then gave notice that he would offer a substitute for the pending concurrent resolution. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, gave notice that, 03 soon as tbe pending question ,vas dis posed ot, he would ask for tho considera tion of his inter-State commerce bill. Adjourned. The following nominations were sent to the Senate to-day: Col. Nelson A- Miles, to be brigadier general, vice Gen. Ord, re tired; Col. William B. Hazen, to be chief signal officer, with the rank of brigadier general. Collectors of customs—Tomlin son P. .Johnson, Savannah, aud J. Mason Rice, St. Mary’s, Ga.

In my last I mentioned the dis covery of a villa near Tula. That house has been fully uncovered, and found to ccutaiu twenty-five rooms, fifteen stair cases and twelve corridors. Attached to it arc two cisterns, with clay pipes, which were used to convey water to different apartments. Some of the household utensils are of course clay, a few of por celain and one article of glass. Remem ber Tollan, the capital of tlie Toltcc em pire, covered not only the present situ of tlie town of Tula, but the spot where Mr. Cbaruay discovered the villa, and now lie is unearthing near the former building a large palace. Perhaps during these excavations he may find historical data tliat will clear up all mystery with regard to the origin of the first inhabitants of the Western Conti nent. On October 28 Mr. Charnay an. nounced to Le Trait de Union, of this city, merely tbe discovery of a palace, but made.no allusion to auy architectural pe culiarities. We have, however, heard that the ruins recently unearthed are more distinctly Asiatic in style than any Toltec remains now known. In the course of a few days wc shall receive further particu lars. Mr. Ciiamay also had the good for tune to find tbe bones of some gigantic an imals. These remains are now cu route to this capital. Heavy Failure. New Yohk, December 8.—The Post of this evening says a statement of tlie finan cial condition of the suspended firm of B. G. Arnold & Co. is now in course of pre paration, and will probably be completed within ten days. It is now understood that the liabilities will reach a total of not far from $2,000,000, and it is said that the assets have a value of about $2,300,000, al though a considerable partof these are not readily convertible into cash. Tlie out standing (single named) paper of the firm, wc are told, amounts to $000,000 to $£00,- 000. This is, of course, unsecured and it is distributed in small lots among paper buyers, including banks here and in New England. The remainder of tbe firm’s ob ligations are said to be specificialiy secur ed. Mr. Arnold is a director of the Bank of New York. That institution holds only $15,000 of his paper, and is amply secured^for the remainder 'of his obliga tions. Great sympathy is expressed for Mr. Arnold, whose misfortunes overtake him at an advanced age. Western Union Profit*. New Yoisk, December 8.—Tbe quar terly report of tbe Western Union Tele graph Company states Mie net profits fc: the quarter ending December 31st instant, based upon official returns for October, nearly complete reports for November and estimates for December, (reserving an araouut sufficient to meet tbe claims of tbe Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Com pany under existing arrangements), will be about $015,600.62; adding the surplus up to October 1st of $1SS,120.80, tbe total will be $1,140,OOO.-lS—deducting appropri ations for interest on tbe bonded debt, construction, etc., a balance is shown of $747,030.48. The committee recommend that a dividend of 1J per cent.be paid Jan uary 15th from tlie net earnings for the three months ending with December. Illinois Railroad Business. Chicago, December 8.—The Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners of Illinois make a showing of astonishing prosperity in tlie railroad 'business of tbe Slate during 1880. The returns are complete except from two roads, and show that tlie forty- six roads doing business in tbe State have earned, during tbe year ending June 30th $130,000,000. The expenses were $73,- 000,000, and net income $01,000,000. The highest gross earnings iu auy previous year were in 1S70, when they aggregated $110,000,000, tlie net earn!lira being $17,- 000,000. Some of tlie roads have doubled tbeir net earnings since last year. There are 5,410,055 bushels of grain held iu tbe ice in tlie Erie Canal. two wide, and inhabited by some seven hundred people, Roanoke Island has been as loud a spot as any of tbe same number of square inches on the globe. It Las been full of sensations from the jump; and from the birthday of Virginia Dare, in 15S5, to the bully fight last Friday, in which birds, beasts and woman bore a hand, a period near unto three hundred years, it lias seldom been without an eye-opener iu tho shape of a sensation. It has been the scene of bloody fights between Indian tribes, and between civilized armies in hostile array. Savage and civilized relics of remote ages and modern convulsions are bidden beneath, or wave-washed upon tbe surface of its golden sands. Indian forts, cairns aud tumuli attest its hoary history. Abel’s pet dog that sings in the church meetings and the canary which praises itself iu *iarrol English, attest tiie attainments of its beasts and birds in po lite accomplishments. Lewis Mann’s sixty alligators hatched and reared In a potato bouse, attest tbe fecundity of its soil —or the fecuudity of Lewis’ imagination. Two miles from the shore at tlie point at the gateway to Oregon lie luscious bivalves. Wild fowls of every name feed upon its grasses. Its men are the best specimens stalwart manhood; Its women of feminine loveliness But to our tale: On Friday, at Roan oke Island, a soaring eagle, towering in his pride of might, turned his proud eyes from gazing at the sun upon tiie quiet yard of Walter Dough. A flock ol* fat geese invited his eye aud tempted liis taste. The glance was lather to the thought, aud down he pouuced. The feathers flew, tlie geese squaked, and there was a sensation in that farni-ynrd— and there was a dog there, too. A goose is put down os a fool, but it is a vulgar error. A goose is a particularly smart fellow. And so was this one llio eagle struck in Walter Dough's yard. As soon as struck, tlie goose ran under tbe house (whicli is some feet above the ground) with the eagle fasteued to her back, and tho rest of tlie flock in hot pursuit. And there the fight grew fast and furious. Forty biting and flopping geese on one side, and the king of birds oh the other. Although outnumbered Uie eagle main tained tlie fight and clung to lus victim. But soon another enemy presented him self. Au enemy more terrible than an army of geese—a bull terrier dog—little but full of fight. It wasn’t fair; and tbe dog had no uatural belligerent rights in a combat between birds, but lie came witii a bound, and tbe eagle bad no time to set tle questions of military ethics; so lie threw liimself on bis back (eagle fashion) to do his best in this hard fight between tooth and toeuail. The dog make a lunge at tlie eagle’s breast, and tlie eagle struck ins claws deep into tbe dog’s fore tliould- der. The blow wa3 simultaneous on tlie Gth. er siue. Both blows told. But a terrier never, and an eagle hardly ever says die. The ouly witnesses of the dread combat were the geese who now stood off an 1 looked on. and Miss Martha Brothers, who was singing to her spinning jenny hi the house alone, when the fight began, and who in tbe end was to be tlie conquering hero, crowned with tlie laurels of victory. The battle raged. Teeth gnashed, claws staved, eyes flashed. But eagles, liko men, contnud against odds when lighting against fate, and so tills eagle’s great heart sank within Him, aud turning tail upon his foe be sought safety in flight. But his retreat was slow and full of difficulty, for he had fifteen pounds of bull terrier swinging be hind liim. He readied tlie yard fence. With one desperate effort he sought to scale it. He reached its topmost round. Ho bore a weight he could not further carry. There they stood, victor and van quished. Then it was tliat Miss Martha Brothers, tiie true hero of the tight, came to tbe front and won the palm of victory. Seizing a rail, with one fell swoop she came down with a crash upon the eagle’s head, and left hi in prostrate, stiug- gling In the agouies of death, tlie victim of a combination too powerful to bo resisted. Alas! poor eagle! Ho measured liifie feet between the tip3 of bis outstretched wings. How Horace Greeley Helped His Brotber. Barnes Greeley, a brother of Horace, relates this incident: “When Lincoln was elected I took a notion that I would like to have the appointment of mail agent oil one of our local" roads. The salary was $1,000 a year, which was a big thing for me. I knew Horace could get me the, ap pointment. I spoilt some money traveling around and getting recommendations, and I succeeded in getting what I thought was sufficient. I had letters from a number of leading business men along the route, as well as from tbb party men, and tlieso I forwarded to Horace, with a letter asking him to help me. What do yon suppose lie did? He wrote hack, returning roy rec ommendations, with the information, penned in his own hand, tliat he ccutd get the appointment forme without tho slight est trouble, but that be did not want to do it. He wanted me to stick to the farm. He said I was tiie only boy at home and he thought it best that ■ should stay there. I wrote back and explained to him that could be at borne quite frequently; that at that time the salary of $1,000 a year would help me out very considerably; that anotlier party bad offered to take the post tion for $500 a year. I wound up by urg ing him to help me to tlie appointment His reply was this: “If another man offers to do this service for $500, and you expect SI,000, tliat is au excellent reason why you should not have it. If you had it the gov ernment would be losing $300 a year.” In tbo same letter be made me tbis proposi tion : “Stay on the old farm, and if 1 do not raise more corn this year on two acres than you do on ten acres I will give you $100.” Not being in a position to better myself, Istayed on tbe farm aud accepted liia proposition. I picked out ten acres of as good ground as 1 bad and planted it in corn. Ire planted two acres. When we measured up in tlie fall I bad beaten liim just twenty-live bushels of cars, and he sent me his check for S1O0.” What Causes Ghat IIaihs.—Gray hair sometimes comes prematurely by inheritance, trouble or tho large use of water containing lime. The sudden blanching of a head of hair is frequently caused by severe nervous shocks, and numerous historical and traditional cases may be cited in which sudden fear or overwhelming news has turned the hair white in a few hours. The case of Marie Antoinette is one of the most tender and touching, for in a single night her rich dark hair was changed to a silver-gray. A sepoy of of the Bengal army was taken prisoner in 1838, and the fright he receiv ed caused liis hair to become completely whitened within half an hour, the change being so rapid a3 to cause bis captors to exclaim, in astonishment: “He i* turning gray!” Under the Influence of great fear or any great mental shock the blood re- cedcs from the surface of the body to tiie heart, and it is supposed tho same in fluence may cause tlie coloring fluid of the hair Urretire to the root-bulbs where it remains thereafter. Gray hair has been known to become dark without tbe chem ist’s aid. In 1774, Nazarcla, a man 105 vears old, was presented by nature with a new set of teeth, and the restoration of the black hair of his youth. John Weeks was blessed with a regeneration of tlie color of his hair a short time before his death, which occurred at tlie age of 114; and Sir J. Sinclair, dying at 110, rejoiced in a youthful head of hair during the latter years of Ills life. Dr. Richards has reported tlie case of a inan who had three changes ofhis hair from black to to white during his life,* tlie first taking piaco when he was about thirty-fire years old. . Mail Robbery. Gat.vestox, December 8.—A special from Brown wood to the A’ei cs says: “No. 7 east-bound stage was robbed, three miles east of this place, at 8 o’clock last niglit. Tlie two robbei .-.iter relieving the passengers of one . idred and sixty- five dollars, cut r» -le mail bags, ex tracting tlie registered ietteis, from which they obtained thrctfluv dred and fifty dol lars. our necessities, and had supplied addi tional car accommodation. The atmos phere wr.s crisp and Invigorating, and put new springs into old limbs even. Once underway, everything was pleasant k Even the children aboard were content to for get the interruption of their morning nap, and gazed wonderingly at tiie waste of water that spread out before them as we entered tiie swamp that borders the Octnulgee river. Tho heavy fall bf rain on Sunday night, added to that which had been coin ing for a week or a month past, had in creased the volume of the river so that to find passage it had spread out all over the woods bordering on either side. The angry current dashed against the bridge as we crossed the main stream, aud seemed to gather strength aud increase in vio lence at every leap. Soon we were be yond its reach, and tnakiug good time for this port. At Cochran additions were made to our numbers, so that we came upon tbo good citizens hero about forty, strong. Hawkinsville was iu excellent liumor. Nothing imparts more pleasure to her people than to show to tho world what she can do. Every muscle is at full ten sion, and every effort put forth seemingly by every citizen to make a good impres sion for Hawkinsville. This is a lauda ble ambition, and one tliat commends it self to every man Hawkinsville lias never FOREIGN.

Washington, December 8.—Tho Re publican members of the House held a caucus at the capital this evening to decide on the course of action witii reference to the Senate concurrent resolution on the counting of the electoral votes, now pend ing in tho House. The discussion fasted two hours. All the members present were in accord In considering tbe proposed joint rule unfair, unnecessary, and even unconstitutional; but there were differences ot opiuion as to the extent to which the party’s opposition should be carried. Some were in favor of resisting the pas sage ofthe resolution by all means known to parliamentary practice, while others thought that prolonged resistance was un necessary since there was no danger that any attempt would be made to set aside tho result of the recent elec ion by im proper use of the proposed regulations. It was finally agreed to postpone further consideration of the matter until to-mor row evening, when it will be laid before tbe joint caucus of Republican Represen tatives and Senators. A caucus of tho Democratic mem bers of the House was held to-day imme diately after adjournment, for the purpose of nominating a successor to Mr. Stewart, late postmaster of the House. The names of three candida'es were submitted, and a fonnal ballot resulted in the selection of Mr. Nowlin, the present assistant post master. He received 01 votes, Mr. Geo. C.
