BYRAM & PIERCE. 50 South Third Street. Philadelphia. Pa. J. H. BTRAtf. j T. MAT PIERCE. December 24th. 7"Pl Why is the arKjr t I be Howe rWeiTalf The seventy-five democrats who rote for '"Col. Richardson for Speaker, ih a full -Heu.se, are expected to achieve wonders by theniaiiy-uanietl opposition. The one hundred and fifty repre sentatives, who do not agree with the minority f seveuty-flve, and who are in the majority, have been declaiming to the country for weeks past that this minority is the cause ofnll the trouble, and that if only it would agree to disa gree, everything would be satisfactory. .-The democrats came to Congress to do thefr iluly according to their principles' They -came, ac cording to the know-nothings, ait utterly ruined party. They came, according to the abolition ists, an utterly annihilated organization. Well ; acting mider a sincere sense of their miuoiity we will not say "acquiescing" in the deprecia ting judgment of their adversaries they did all that pucJi a minority cqultj dor thev modestly ed their opinions. Taking their daces lirTiTc House, they proceeded modestly to vote for their choice for Speaker; but hardly had they demonstrated their principles and their purposes before they were assailed with contumely and reproach "from all quarters, by the dissenting and fragmentary majority! It was the demo crats who wonld not allow a Speaker to be elected! It was the intolerable democratic platform that was an obstacle to harmony! It was this calm, courageous, and niicoiipplaining minority that made everybody outside of it an gry and fretful! Such is the - comment upon the attitude of the democracy by tliose who control the opposition majority in Cofigress. And why is this so? We think we have at last found the secret. It is because the dem ocracy, a minority in Congress, is a majority before the people; it is because the democracy, unable to elect a Speaker, is certain to elect a President. The opposition see that this mino rity is to be dreaded, and that its unity and power in the House, if not brokeu or impaired by the skilful machinations of southern know nothings and northern abolitionists, will certain ly sweep everything before it in the coming presidential campaign. And this is the plain and simple solution of all the mystery which has troubled so "many wise and cautious heads. Washington Union. Imports of Dry Goons. The Journal of Commerce publishes its usual Statement of the Imports of Dry Goods at the port of New York. The history of this trade for the last three years, is unusually interesting. The year 1853 witnessed the largest imports at this port ever entered since the country was settled. The receipts of dry goods, alone, for that year, reached $93,704,211, an increase of over 50 per cent, upon the total for the preceding year. In the beginning of the yea.- 1854, the imports fell off, but with some fluctuations, and the decrease was not very strongly marked until September of that year, when the failing oil became rapid aud . uninterrupted,, continuing monthly, without exception, uniii - &epteriLer, 1855, a period of 12 months. Part of tins decrease was of course included in the last year's summary, the total imports of dry goods for 1854 being only $S0,S42,936 against $93, 704.211 for 1853. The decrease, as we have said, continued until toepremuer, iojo, wnen the trade turued, and each month since has f . i : a l. , a . i I . , . , . . r -t n r r when sliown a comparative increase, leaving u,e tuw . for the year 1855, $15,868,874 below the total , for 1854, $28,730,149 below that of 1853, but j 3o,o iu,yio greater man tor uie jeui loiii, when the total was ouly $61,654,144. Amputating a Leg at Hip Joixt.- Last ; Saturdav. savs the Cincinnati Commercial, we witnessed a very extraordinary surgical opera tion at the Commercial Hospital, performed by Prof. Blackman of the Ohio Medical Col lege. It was no less than amputating a man's kg at the hip-joint. This operation is very rarely performed; and we are informed by those more familiar with surgical statistics than our selves that this is the first instance of a case in Ohio. Of course it only in extreme cases that it would be undertaken, and then only as a dernier resort. It would be difficult! for persons who know little or nothing of the science of the profession, to estimate the re sponsibility felt by the surgeon who undertakes to perform an operation so critical. I 1 he operation performed by Dr. HIackman was on the person of a young man. T le thigl, bone was affected with cancer, which was rapidly ascending toward the hip joint, and the only hope of saving his life was by this operation. The patient was under the influence of chloroform, and exhibited very little evidence of pain during the entire operation. The limb was entirely severed from the body in two seconds. Steamboat and railroad accidents. Ac cording to a table in the New York Herald, there were during the past year 27 steamboat accidents in the United States, whereby 176 persons' were killed and 107 wounded. Last year there were 48 accidents and 587 persons killed and 225 wounded. This large decrease is no doubt owing to the pood effect of the new steamboat law passed by Congress. The Baltimore Sun says there were in the L'nited States during the present year 142 railroad accidents, killing 116 persons and wounding 539 others. Among the killed were 20 engineers, 19 firemen, 6 conductors, and 16 brakesmen. Last year there were 193 accidents, and 186 persons killed and 589 wounded. The Democracy stand firm. The democratic phalanx in the House of Representatives, stand firm and fast. There is no wavering. On the evening of the 28th another caucus was called, and was attended by a majority of the demo cratic members, there, and after a full and harmonious interchange of opinions, they unani mously decided as follows: "Resolved, That we will adhere to our platform and our nominee." This is the sentiment of the democracy of the Union. Everywhere the firm and united action of the democrats is applauded, and the slightest faltering now would mortify the noblest party that ever existed in any country Let the answer be to all proposals from our opponents, that of Paul Jones in one of his conflicts, when asked if he had surrendered; and truly may we use his words in view of the great issues and contests upon which we are only entering "Surrender!" said the hero; "Sever! The battle has only begun!" Union. ,r Gambling In Paris. The sprightly, gossiping Paris correspondent of the Boston Post furnishes the following iustructivedisclosures in regard to the gambling houses in that city: "Paris at present is full of gambling honses. They exist in every street almost in principal hotels even who has not heard of the one ia the liaison Dnrecf aud strangers are fleeced with all the impunity which ignorance and inexperience permit. One passes a respectable looking, well-lit window, with large guilt let ters, signifying 'Tapi.e d'Hotk,' inscribed upou its pane; between the white, cleanly muslin curtains, he can peer into a spuc'ous room, where he beholds a table covered with dinner furniture, plates, goblets, baskets of fruits, &c. and, desiring to economize, or wishing to avoid the bustle aud clamor of a boulevard cafe, or tired and Wnngrv, or what not, he enters the jftoor; nearthq ".window, places. his hat and coat in a place uesigimTrrrTJv ftmnntr?-iMwta, and seats himself in the waitJng-room, anxious for the signal to put himself at the table which attracted his observation. Guests arrive; two or three, to all appearsTnces, strangers and new comers like himself; middle-aged, dignified me', dressed in coats buttoned dangerously tight, and decorated with red riband, or more likely some foreign order; everything appears decor ous, quiet, and respectable. A matron of honest exterior, a host astomidingly cordial and well-whikrred, together with servants over whelmingly polite, make the stranger chuckle at the good fortune which conducted hira hither. While partaking of the -pahUable fare in his merriment and good nature he goes a bottle of good wine the price is so reasonable be thinks he can stand it -and he finds the chatty young woman whom chance undoubtedly has made his neighbor, and whose toilette has previously excited his admiration, is quite disposed to take the last sip with him, since she feels already acquainted, so winning have proved his powers of conversation and so intel ligible his French.

As he soon after passes out, madame, at the aMptoir, who receives the modest compensation, pleasantly and frankly invites him to mount and take his coffee in a room above with the other guests; a proposi tion which is the more readily accepted trom tlku Iiuipiu whu-li .,L.e- jjets of the . retreating figure of his table-friend, evidently skipping iit that direction.

A Pole wilt cheat twice where anybody else cheats once and knows more shullles and stackings than the 'Reformed Gambler' mentions iu the whole of his books." The Dead Men's Traik on the Oi.n Coiony Road. The Old Colony Mermaid, published nt Plymouth, Massachusetts, narrates an incident which is sufficiently marvellous to plense the most ardent believers in "signs and wonders.' It states as a matter of common notoriety in Plymouth, that during the last summer month.1', between three aud four o'clock in the morning there was regularly and distinctly heard upon the railroad the whistle as of an approaching train. As it was well known, however, that no i train passed over the road at such a time in I the morning, four gentlemen at the Sarnoset House determined to investigate the mystery. Accordingly, unknown to any one, they one morning, about two o'clock, stationed them selves on the railroad trac t, about a mile flora town, and awaited the arrival of the super natural visitor. They did not watch long, nor wait in vain, for immediately they distinctly heard, for off iu tho north, the sound of a railway whistle and presently "the distant clatter of wheels waa heard louder, nearer, nearer, still it came the click of the rails iu their chairs; the nifch of steam was as plain in their ears as if the lantern glared before them the shriek of a demon whistle close at hand made them leap from the track, as the train thundered down the grade the hot breath of the panting steed was in their very faces as it passed; as the unearthly scream ceased, they heard the brnkeman screwing np their brakes, the tinkle of a bell and a sound of a meeting cars, as if the invisible spectre monster of the road had reached his journev's end." The Boston Journnl Kays that in that city, a spiritual circle, while sitting, held a conversa tion with the spirit of an engineer, who, while living, run a train on the Old Colony Railroad, The spirit said that the train was for the pur pose of conveying the spirits of the dead. A FivE-HrNDREivjioi.LAR BiBi.E. Among the many eostlj' and really beautiful works of art offered for sale, (says the Philadelphia Ledger,) there is nothing in the book line that approaches in richness the $500 bible exposed in Peterson's window, 102 Chestnut street. The paper, printing, binding, and, in fact, the whole finish of the book, it is believed, exceeds that of any other iu the world. The ornaments are solid gold, and very heavy.
