Tub Legislatures of Ohio and Penn* ay Ivanla met yesterday. In the latter tho Uepnblioana have a good working majority. In the former, things are mixed. It is considered at Columbus, although a Hamilton county "reform" Republican was chosen speaker, that the organization of. the House was a virtual triumph for the Democracy. There was no presiding ollloer chosen in the Benate, the plnoe being lllled by the Lieut. Governor; but the distribution of the other offices, in both Houses, seems to have been controlled by the Cincinnati balanoe-of-povor men, who divided thorn between the two parties, givlngto (he Democrats the larger share. If, however, the result in the House la a Democratic triumph, it must be be* ratine tho "reform" KepnbUcau elected wan supported by the Democrats, and 1h under their oontrol or lias made pledges.

New Year's Day was celebrated here In ancient style, the weather being genial and propitious. At the White House the Maine old scene was enacted. The President, bored 10 death, and heartless In the work, stood by the door, undergoing the torture of having hie arm pulled out of his ehonlder, from noon till night: No smiles from him, and no happy New Year was his, Hlfl wile, more agreeable because more philosophical, stood in the center of the room, and did not seem to be nu* happy. She received all with great courtesy aud grace. A number or her relatives, including six or eight of the Dents, were scattered about the room, and assisted In the entertainment of the crowd. First came the members of the Gabi* net, plain and agreeable gentlemen, all ot whom the President and wife, and his wife's relatives, seemed really glad to see. Next came the Diplomatic Corps, radiaut In oocked hats, plumes, badges, embroideries, laces and tin* eels; and It 1h not at all probable that anybody but their own looklng*glas* sea whh giau 10 Bee uem. j ob x-xvhiileut Hbook bands with all of them, very particularly, and Mrs. Orant wan very amiable over their Jabbering.

Tal* bonet and Segrls, of (be Right Centre, will be called to tbe Cabinet. Address by lapole?. Tbe Emperor on Saturday, In reply to the usual address ol the Corps Legislate, addressed himself to tbe Presli dent of that body as follows: "The assurances of devotion whloh you address to me In the name of the Corps Legislallf, render me happy. Never was our good understanding more necessary. New circumstances have augmented your prerogatives without diminishing tbe authority given me by the nation. In sharing tbe responsibilities with the great bodies of State, 1 feel more confident of over* coming (be diflionltlMi in the future.

The Hew HlnlNtry at Last. The now ministry lias at length been formed. The Journal Officiate gives the list as follows: Minister of Justice anil Religion, M. Emile Olllvier; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Connt Napoleon Daro; Minister ol the Interior, Chevalndier De Valdrame; Minister of Finances, Louis Joseph Buffet; Minister of.

Au Imperial decree neparntOH the Ministry of Flue Arts from that of the Emperor's Household. M. Durergler, Minister of Justice in 1855, has been appointed a Senator. The Emperor recently paid a visit to ex(?ueen Isabella of Spain. She related to him the proposals that had been made to her by the Duke of Montpenaler Binoe she has been In Franoe, and said she had refused to aooede to them solely to please him (the Emperor). The Emperor's speech and snooessful formation of a new Ministry have had an unosually favorable effect in monetary olroles. The BrouBe has been native and Arm all day and at the closing hnnr. 3 o'clock p. m.. rents were quoted at 73 francs 78 centimes. Mpoh business, however, was transacted on the streets alter that time, and at half-past four rents were 74 franoa 1G oentlmes. In view of tbe many complicating storied as to the position of Victor Emanuel in the matter of candidature of tbe Dake of Genoa, It is reported that General Prim to-day telegraphed to Fiorenoe asking for a decided yes or no.

Cincinnati| Jan. 8. The strike among the operators of the Western Union Telegraph Company In thla city continues. All the late operators are engaged In the strike save ons. At a meeting thla morning they en* doreed the aotton of the operator* on the Paclfio Slope In opposing a reduction of snlarlea there, and felt it a duty toaupport their brethren with all their alrengtb- The following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That any proposition to rebqiiib onr work which does not guarante* the reinstatement, and oo the old terms, of all engaged la earned by the railways, the | Savlngci Hanks and the Oily Banks are In the main also ahead of tho previous yeur, and especially 1mI proved In the rale of Interest and the accumulation of deposits upon which this Increased allowance 1b made In the I Savings Banks. Ana accepting mi ! these facta as constituting a reasonably safe criterion by which to jadge tbe relative prosperity In business of tbe two years, we should say tbat tbe In* crease In 1809 over 1868 Is In a much larger proportion than the Increase of population. On turning to the Stock Exchange as a barometer of tbe relative credit or (be Government, we find tbat while gold, as measured by our Treasury greenbacks, has gone down fifteen psr cent, tbe United States 5-20 bonds have gone up fall live per cenU Prom the Plnanclal Article In tho Philadelr phla Ledger of Int. As we to-day enter upon a new year, It Ih proper to look back and Institute oomparlsonn, that we mav see wblthor we are tending. Trade In general Is oonoeded to be dull?unusually so? and, as compared with this date lust J rear, prices of the leading staples are ower. The wholenale nrloe of superline flour on the 31st of December, 1809, was about fO per barrel; It Is now quoad at fl no?a decline of one-fourth of Its prion. Best white wheat was then quoted at $2 26 per bushel; It Is now quoted In this market fl GO?a decline of 75 cents per bushel. Kye has fallen from fl 00 to fl, corn from tl 80 to 91, I and oats from 78 to 67 cents. Kye, I llour, corn meal, and almost the entire direct product of the soil, have expert- . | en cod a very similar decline, while the , indirect produce of the farm?pork, < beef, lard and seeds, have generally ( held their own, and In some lnntancee advanced. The great stsple of the conntry, cotton, as compared with this g time a year ago, is about 1 cent per , pound higher. This, on a crop of 1,200,- , 000.000 pounds, gives a dlfferenoe of , twelve millions of dollars?a very i handsome addition to the wealth of the cotton growing Btates, and an Item (bat J must tell favorably on the national exoliftnges. The other Sontbern products i of sugar, molasses, and naval stores . gouerally, are off In prices from 6 to 15 , per cent. Wool and whisky remain at j much the aame prices as last year?If 1 anything, a shade lower. The same Is ' trne of hides and leather. Grade and rellned petroleum are about 6 per cent lower. Iron, another of Pennsylvania's staples, has declined In prioe materially. The price of the domestic . article is controlled In a great measure ' by that of Hootch pig and English bar, , the former of which was quoted last < year at 940*42 per ton, and Is now down to |32a34,and the latter, whloh then rnled at |90s06, Is now quoted at |80s85 per f tou. The decline In the manufactures ' of ootton, wool and flax la even greater , than that shown In the prioe or breadstuffs, ss Is most of the other items, 1 except provision?, thai make up house* bold charges. We have not at band any aatlsfaotory sohedule of wages last J year at corresponding period, or even of wages now paid, by whloh to make a comparison. In this absence of data, 1 we leave this point to eaoh trade or branch of Industry to form Its own comparison. Relying merely upon recollection, we are of opinion that 1 WHges on the average are as high as . they were one year ago. and In aome 1 departments of Industry higher. If wo .U- < lire r.'K(>b ?"

The 1301a and 1805a were then ; worth 10772, and are now held at 112, 1 The 6 HUI of Jannary and July were then quoted at 111X, and are now held at lllk. Tbe 10 10 live per oenta ware then worth 10SX, and are now quoted at 106%. Gold waa tben aelllng at It sold ywterday nt 120>i, The changes In the price* of atook securities art both waya, and being mainly traceable to local canaaa, afford no oerlain data aa to the existence oI any general cause, aa arlalng ftorn the appreciation or the onrrancy or of any change prejudicial to the general bualneu of the country. There are alwaya oroakera In all departmenta of trad* who are very peraletIng that the front la the worst period of their exlstenoe, and who aee nothing but deepalr In the fnlore. For ancb aa tboae there la nolhlog ao effectual aa a recurrence to the past and a oontrast ot faota and tlgnrea. Business la reported dull, and the past year aa generally unfrnltful In resulte. There probably hare been fewer large rortunee made laat year than In eome or the few that next preoeded It; but we believe profile have been more general and more equal than ror yeara before, and that bualneaa the country over Is In aa eonnd a condition aa at any time within the last ten yeara. For the laat two or three montha there haa been the naual annual number or falluree In business, but a oareful examination shows that the failures of 1809 are greatly below those of 1888, and a large majority of tboae reported thla year are made no of email oonoerna. Involving limited liabilities, and little calculated lo endanger credit or to paralyie en" terprlae.
