Last Monday at 12 o'clock the 59th Congress of the United j States assembled and proceeded: to business fit ouce. HOTFSE or REPRESENTATIVES. | Washington, Dec. 2.—The i opening day of the first session; of the 57th Congress in tliej House of Representatives tur-; nislied a spectacle that deligm-j ed the crowded galleries, lhe machinery* of the House is cum berous and is set in motion _>\ a laborious process, but the spectators to-day evidently did • not consider it tedious as t.ie} j clung to their places through the entire proceeding which lasted four and one half probably half the time being Consumed in the monotonous' calling of the roll, lhc ization of the House was ac complishcd according to ti time honored precedents. Speaker Henderson was sworn in by Gen. Bingham, ' the ia ther of the House," and niter delivering a very graceful speech in recognition ot the honor bestowed upon him he in turn administered the oath to: the members elect. The rules' of the last House were adopted after a slight jar and then the biennial seat drawing occurred. This 1 art te r ceremony wa robbed of much of its interest . .to-day by -die fact that unr.er I* the new arrangement of feats tlKfpp: at# rasore than enough to . ■ gcr .-round. and those whose name? are drawn last do n t >. suffer -as .'they did on former / occasions: " •" -'j.:. The Speaker assigned the election cases from Alabama; -Kentucky and Mis • r'souri to l;lections Committee No. 1: those from. North Car> ». Bn&,'.Ohio and South Carolina • to-Committer No. 2, and thos from VI. • to Coinni; : No 13. On.

C. A joint resolution was intro duced by Miv. Moody, of Massa chusetts, proposing a select committee' of. three members, to vbe appointed by the Speaker, to investigate and report whether ■ at the congressional election in Louisiana tlie rights of any of . the male inhabitants of that State were abridged or denied ; whether, if the right of any person to Vote was denied or : abridged, the members from Louisiana so chosen are entitled to their seats, and whether Con gress should enact further legis lation to carry out the 14th and loth amendments to the United States constitution. THREE THOUSAND BILLS. ' J It was estimated by official of the House' that over three thousand.bids had been intro ducedJ&fulJ; ,12' o'clock to-day. There was tK&vusual rivalry for the of hating bill num ber QHP, no less than fifteen members haying askecl for this precedence with the indications thartrone of the bills restricting the sale of oleomargerine— either'that.of Mr. McCleary or of Mr. Tawnyr—would be so designated when the records were made up. The bills took a wild range, covering all those topics which have excited at tention of late. Three Pacific cable bills, by Representative Sherman of New York, Corliss ' of Michigan and Jones of Wash ington,.gave varying phases of projept, Mr. Jones propos ing 'the Northern route via Pu'get Sound, with an appro priation of 000,000 ; Mr Corliss proposing a govern ment-built ;i n d maintained . route, and Mr. Sherman offer ing the plan allowing private participation in the enterprise. Among the other -measures introduced. j.\vera those by Mr. Snlzor,- .NoW£Y.ork, protestiiig against the conduct, of . the war in ISouth Africa; Mr. Kitchin, JfcJorth Carolina,. constitutional .Li;. iment repealing fifteenth amendment; also, constitution al >n ndinent forbidding ap propriations for sectarian pur poses; Mr. Overstreet, Indiana, i to maintain the parity of the 1 money of the United States; - Mr Moody, Massachusetts, for ;!ie protection of colored cit i : ns against lynching, iu do r-nit- of State protection; Mr. ( v, Texas, to prevent coin-1, ms in restraint of trade. |, At 30 the House adjourned.;.

N. !)i:;.e, W. R. Odell being ad judged free from malice in his c icction with the controversy. A i the issues with the ex , ce: uo;i were answered yes. The ide fendants appealed. Bond to stay execution in the amount of • tv. uty thousand dollars was fix I i)y the judge. Two jurors : were in favor of a verdict for •: f 00, one for $35,000, one '25.000, one for $20,000, ir for $15,000, one for $lO,- . ■ ue for $l.OO and one for ,rs. The average was and the $15,000 ver s taken as a compromise. I delay on the third count v.a- that the jury stood ten to two and finally the two agreed. A. J. Snell wanted to attend Ia i ty, but was afraid to do so jon account of pains in lib ! stomach, which he feared grow worse. He says, - telling my troubles to a 5 *t£. • i iend, who said : 'Chair .; beriaiu's Colic, Cholera and ; i Diarrnoea Remedy will jiut ,' you in condition for the J party.'

This included board and 'wa hing. Such young men . I wot; M labor hard six days per I -.-e' k and fifty-two weeks in the ;y; ar with two or three holidays 'j at Christmas. Out of this $72 I they would save $6O. In a few j years they would have enough j money to buy a small farm. . j They did not make debts. They did not smoke. They owned f no buggies. They wore plain ' clothing. They saved their . money. They made character. ( They had too much respect to . compromise their manhood, . enough self control to keep un- der vicious appetites, acquired a competency for comfortable , living. They added something profitable to their race.—Elder P. 1). Gold, in Wilson Times.

Allison Hodges of this his na tive county, will be glad to read ' of the brilliant reception given T bv his good wife recently. The " Richmond Dispatch says : "The spacious parlors were t decorated in yellow ehrysanthe- 1 mums and } . u--, with trailing ; cedar wre - ; the tnirrors : and chain!'.' Tall ; pink , chrysanthemums were used in , profusion against a background j of palms in the library. The , table in the dining room was covered with Battenburg lace. , cut glass ant! silver, in the cen tre of which was a miniature Merrimac bearing the national colors and floating upon a sea of glass. White wax candles, resting in silver candelabra, and red chrysanthemums, were placed at the four corners of the table. "Mrs Hodges, looking lovely in pink silk with an over-dress of cream lace, covered with hand-painted medallions, was assisted in receiving by Govern or and Mrs. J. Hoge Tyler, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Montague, Col. John Goodc, Miss Mary Lee, Miss Mattie Ross, Miss Eliza beth Whitlock, Mr. and Mrs, A. W. Patterson, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Borden, and Mr. and -Mrs. Thomas F. Jeffress. Miss Lulie Whitlock and Miss Eliza beth Paterson presided over the punch bowl, while Miss Eda Atkinson, Miss Ev- lyn Gordon, Miss Katherine Micliaux and ! Miss Adair Minor were the fair j assistants in the dining l*oom. "There were about 150 guests present, and it. was the endeav or of Dr. Hodges to invite only the friends of Captain Hobson."

Let an agent • drop in on us from unknown parts and he can dupe our peo . pie into buying patent remedies . for all ills, patent churns, , ranges, quilting machines, lightning rods, and all sorts of ' things, and they eagerly cough . up their hard earn* d money for what is vul; r-y dhd "sky." A home man -ll In't sell them a live cent a: : .'e v> itl out .their crying hard tirn-.-s on him, where a stranger can pull dol lars from them without a grum jble. ' A fool and his money I are easily parted" is a trite saying, but lois of mighty good imen are caught sometime. Re ; i member this lesson: First, beware of agents. Second, if you buy, know first what you ' are trading for. If it is a good | thing, then all right, go ahead. t Third, never sign any paper without knowing every word that is on it, and always sit down and coolly calculate where j your profits are to come from before paying an agent a big price for the privilege of selling 1 his trick in any prescribed ter j ritory. We write this for the benefit of those who have never learned it by experience. It is a reflection on no one. All make errors, but they are too costly at times to allow them j to be repeated by others when t a word in time would prevent. —Stanley Enterprise. * 1 Charleston Exposition Formally Opened. 3 ' s I With imposing ceremonies, j embracing a parade of Federal i forces, and State militia, Con . federate veterans, beautiful women and cheering collegians 1 a programme of exercises graced i by distinguished speakers and e with words of greeting from the .
