From Onr Bogular ( o ict l om'eut.
Washington, Dec. 7.18 c 5.
The Forty-Ninth Congress met to
day at noon.
In the House there were over
three hundred Members.
The House and Senate were called
to order at the same moment. The
organization of each had been set
tied by the caucuses held on Satur
day, and to day the formality of re
electing the old officers of the Ilou-e
was quickly accomplished by tin*
Democritic majority. The Republi
cans honored Mr. Reed, of Maine,
with a complimentary yote for Speak
er.
In the Senate, Senator John Shrr
man, of Ohio, was elected presiding
officer, to succeed the late Vice Pres
ident. In accepting the nomination.
Senator Sherman said his duties hith
erto had not given him the experience
for a good officer. In trying to fairly
and impartially observe and enforce
the rules of the Senate, he felt tha
tie would have to rely greatly’ upon
the forbearance ai.d courtesy of the
Senators.
The comment now is that Senator
Logan did a wise thing in declining
the nomination for President piotem
of the Senate, unanimously tendered
him on Frdiay last, by the caucus o 1
Republican Senators He declined
on the ground that he could serve his
constituents better by remaining
on the floor, and that the position
was not to his taste.
The session of the Senate to-day
was brief. It merely organized and
then adjourned through respect to
the memory of Mr. Hendricks, whose
chair was heavily draped in black.
President Cleveland’s, message
will be sent to both branches of Con
gress during to-morrow's session. It
will be read in both ends of the Cap
itol at the same time. The message
has been carefully guarded, and none
of it has been published before the
time intended, though much of' its
policy has been indicated in advance.
As you have read it, probably’, before
this reaches you, it is useless for me
to forecast its contents.
I will mention however, that if
Congress should not, after a reason
able time, approve of the President’s
recommendation to suspend the sil
ver coinage, it is probable the Treas
ury will suspend it on its own au
thority, holding that the Bland act,
although it provides a permanent
fund to purchase bullion, yet prov
ides no fund for the expense of coin
age.
The annual report of Secretary
Whitney of the Navy, will probably
attract more attention than that of
any other Cabinet officer. In his
record of the year he treats thorough
ly and exhaustively the question of
re organizing his Department and
placing it upon a business basis
which will guard it from the notor
ious scandals of the past
The report of Indian Commissioner
i Atkms shows that there will be but
I little change in the policy oftheGov
ernmet towards the Indian under a
Democratic Administration. The red
man is to be reclaimed as fast as
possible by the ordinary processes of
civilization, and is to be made to
work like other people.
II Commissioner Col man, Oje chief of
the the farmers, gives a yeai’s
, ! cultural results, lie tells the needs
j and work of his Department, what
the various Bureaus have done and
what they hope to do.
Wh en Congress gets fairlv to work
the indications are that it will j ass
the Hoar succession hill, which p o
vides for giving the Presidential sue
cession to Cabinet officers in the line
of their rank. There seems to b• no
disposition to treat the matter Ir.nn h
party stand j o nt.
Sena ors and Members of both
parties think this winter's session
will be one of the most interesting
since the war. It is suse to be a long
one and will probably not end before
next August.
CONOWINGO ITEMS.
The Merchants of our town are lay
ing in their sweetmeats fur Christmas

young maidens are wishing for snow,

winter they would like to have some

Town Teachers Association, are having
some very interesting meetings. The
last discussion at Pilot Town, was
a bout love of woman and love of mon
ey’. One of the lady members of the

an side of the question Dr. Samuel
J. Roman’s sale of fine stock was well
attended, but the prices were low.——

of the B. &0. railroad Co. lie was
the richest man in the world; his
wealtli is estimated at 8500.000,000
and his income oyer $10,000,000 a
year. No one man should he allowed
toownso much- It is an injury to
the state and of no advantage to him
self. It is always used, if at all,to
control, and extract from the common
industry of the country'.
