BUUNER, MANAGER. Mining: Notes. Prof. Geo. B. Hanua. of the Charlotte Mint, has kiudly furnished the follow B notes : Mining work iu this State is exceediuc- doll, in South Carolina extraordinari active, and in Georgia the same. Tue Cappa mine is doing its usual work; the quantity aud character of the ore is uncbaugeu. The Rudisil is still yielding a fair qnan- tity of high grade shipping ore, and a still larger quantity of milling stuff, for which at present they have uo satisfactory mar ket; their old stamp mill had become nearly worn out, aud was pulled down and sold for old iron, so at present they have no means of treating this low grade ore. At the Baltimore and North Carolina mine the South vein has continued to 8ive usual run of ore, which, at pres- eut' 18 ,ui,led in their own mill. The St. Catharine is doing its custom ary work, the new mill giving entire sat isfaction. The Designolle works are doing only a moderate amount of work. Iu Montgomery county the Coggins nine, operated by Ex-Sheriff Loftin, of Thomasville, a new body of ore was found early in November, from which sev eral successful ruus were made, with tiefactory results; aud as the ore is abundant, though of a low grade and ea- 8ily treated, it should continue to a uice margin of profits. The Morris Mountain mine bad stopped work in October, for what reason I could not learn, nor whether it wag temporari ly or permanently. At the Russell mine preparations were hi progress for more vigorous operations than have been conducted here for sever al years, Beaver Dam mine isutirely stopped. In Union couuty, the Crump is the only large mine at work, and is reported to have passed recently into the hands of Boston parties with capital adequate to work it una large scale. It is to be hop ed that the remarkable find of nujrcets here may be duplicated on a larger scale The Hamilton mine near Wadesboro, and now know as the Mikado mine is to be opened again. The company is large ly composed of gentlemen In Matthews and Wadesboro. In Moore county the old Cagle mine is now uu watering under the superintend- ency of Mr. Jones. 1 he liurns mine under Geo. . N orthey is showing meat activity. Mr. Northev ' t- mf i 4 testing the Parson's Pan, a modification of the Howland Pan, but with what re- suits cannot now be known. 1 .. in south Carolina the uaite mine is the scene of the greatest activity ; a mag uificeut breast of ore is now ex Dosed iu the new cut not less than 75 feet wide, T . " ' uuu..ui ly. The supply of ore is far in excess of the capacity of the 20 stamp mill, aud fully capable of giving employment to twice or thrice that number. The Brenu mine is kept up to its ordi nary work, At the Fundsrburke a very small force " employed in prospecting only At the West miue iu Uuiou couutv. and tov " wj , " at the Thomas, adjacent, both mines of nearly the same character, the mills are kept at constant work. At the Hammett mine, near Spartan burg, nothing of importance is now doing. FOKTY-EIGUTH CONGRESS. THE SENATE MEETS, OROAM12ES AND AD JOURNS TO AWAIT THE ORGANIZA TION OF THE HOUSE.

Washington, Dec. 3.--fiousE. Long before the hour of noon this galleries of the House of Representatives were filled with spectators to witness the opening scenes of the forty-eighth Congress. The new upholstering of the desks of members, the bright colors of the carpeting of the chamber and the baskets of flowers dis tributed here and there throughout the hall, served to enliven the scene, while on the floor political feeling being laid aside for the time, fiieudly greetings and merry conversations were the order of Uie day. Now aud then predictions might be heard as to the result of the battle in 1884, aud a few speculations were indulg ed in as to the probable chairmanships of the more important committees of the House, but aside from this the conversa tions were of a social and non-political character. As the floor was being clear ed of strangers, some little excitement was occasioned by the obstinate refusal of 'Cal" Piuchover, a notable character in Washington, to vacate a seat iu which he had eusconsed himself. Blackburn, of Kentucky, however, succeeded iu over coming his objections aud leading him from the chamber. At precisely 12 o'clock clerk MePher son took a staud at the clerk's desk and rapped the house to order, and proceed ed to call the foil of Representatives elect. The State of Mississippi having been reached, the clerk said he wished to make a statement as to his failure to put upon the roll the name of any Represen tative elect from the secoud district. The reason for this was that no paper which could be cousidcred a certificate of elec tion in the sense of the law had been presented to him. Chalmers had filed four exhibits iu support of his claim for a seat, but neither individually nor col lectively did these exhibits afford the clerk of the House sutficieut authority tor the enrollment of Chalmers. If the Gov ernor of Mississippi had issued a certifi cate of election to auy oue it had not been presented to the clerk. In regard to the First District of North Carolina, the clerk stated that he had uot received the certificate of the election of the successor of Walter R. Pool, who died iu August last. The roll call disclosed the presence of 310 members. The nomination for Speaker being then in order, Geddes, of Ohio, said : "I nom inate for Speaker of the House for the forty-eighth congress, Hon. Johu G. Car lisle, of Kentucky, a man of pre-eminent qualifications for the place. Cannon, of Illinois, presented the name of Hon. G. D. Robinson, of Massachusetts. Morri sou, of 111., Tucker, of Va., Reed, of Me., and Calkins, of Ind., were appointed as tellers aud the clerk proceeded to call the roll. The reault was announced as follows : Carlisle, 191 ; Keifer, 112; Robinsou, 2, (James, of New York, and Lyman, of Massachusetts) ; J. S. Wise, of Virginia, 1, (York, of North Carolina) ; J. W. Wadsworth, of New York, 1, (Ochiltree, ef Texas) ; Edward S. Lacy, Michigan, I, (White, of Kentucky.) The clerk thereupon declared Carlisle elected, and Randall, of Pennsylvania, aud Keifer, of Ohio, escorted that gentle man to the chair. His ent ranee mto the chamber was a signal for loud applause, and the oath of office was administer ed. Upon taking the chair Mr. Carlisle said : "Gentlemen of the House of Represen tatives : I thank you sincerely for the high honor conferred upou me by the vote just taken to be chosen from the membership of a great body like this to. preside over its deliberations, a distinc tion upon which auy citizen might prop erly congratulate himself, and I assure yon that your kindness is fully apprecia ted. At the same time I realize the tact that the position which you have assign ed ine is oue of very great labor aud re sponsibility, and while profoundly grate ful to you for this manifestation of vour confidence, I shall euter on the discbarge of its duties with a serious distrust ol my capacity to meet iu an acceptable manner the requirements of the ofnee. i promise you, however, to devote to your service all the zeal and ability ot wnicti i am possessed. Gentlemen, the maintenance of order on the floor is essential, abso lutely essential, to the intelligent and systematic transaction of the public busi ness, and I earnestly invoke your assis tance iu the enforcement of the rules adopted for the government of our pro ceedings. "The larce addition to the membership of this house resulting from the late ap portionment of representatives makes this dutv even more dimcult than it has been before, aud without your cordial co operation and support 1 cauuot reasona bly hope to discharge even the ordinary daily duties of this office. That you will cheerfully co-operate with me in every proper effort to preserve order aud to facilitate the business of legislation I have no doubt; but, gentlemen, I shall ask something more 0? you than mere co operation in the discharge of my duty, assuring you of my earnest desire at all limes to be just and impartial, otui i cannot expect to avoid mistakes, anu shall be compelled, therefore, frequently, no doubt, to relv on the tnendly loroeai - nitre nf err ti t le me 1 1 Oil both SldeS Ot the house. "I am sure, gentlemen, that all mat ters of legislation presented during this congress will receive from you such care- fn con side rat ion as the uiainiuuue anu character of the interests mvoived rc outre, an d that vour action upon them w be wise, conservative anu imirtouc Knriilan and radical chanaes in the laws and regulations affeotiug the commercial aud industrial iuterests of the people ought never to be made unless impera tively demanded by Some public emei gency. Iu my opinion, under existing circumstances such changes would not bo fitTorablv received by any considerable number of those who have given the sub- iect serious attention. (Applause.) "Many reforms are undoubtedly neces sary, and it will be your duty, after care ful examination of tlie whole subject iu all its bearing, to decide how far they should extend, and when and iu what manner they should be made. (Applause.) If there be any who fear that your action on this er any other subject will actually be injurious to any interest, or even af ford reasonable cause for alarm, I am quite sure they will be agreeably disap pointed. (Applause.) What the coun try has a right to expect is strict econo my in the administration oi every uepan meut of the government, just and equal taxation fo public purposes, faithful ob- ; servance of the limitations of the consti- tutiou, and scrupulous regard for the for1 rights ai d intcicsts of the great body of the people in order that they may be iw;icu, as rar as congress has power to protect them, against encroachments from every direction. Whatever can be done under the circumstances surround ing us to meet this expectation ought to be done, in my judgment. "But, gentlemen, without detaining you further, I am ready to take the oath of office prescribed by the constitution and Uie laws and proceed to Uie organi zation of the House. (Applause.)" The irou clad oath of office was then administered by Kelley, of Pennsylvania, the oldest member of Uie House in con tinuous service, and Speaker Carlisle called the bouse to order. The States were then called alphabeti cally, and the representatives, as Uieir names were called, came forward and qualified. Converse, of Ohio, rising to a question of privilege said that the clerk of the House this morning had stated that had the certificate of the Governor of Missis sippi been presented to any person claim ing to be a representative from the sec oud district of that State he would have placed his name on the roll. For reasons which were satisfactory to Mr. Manning, he bad chosen not to present that certifi cate until action had been taken by the House. He (Converse) had called upou Manning's attorney and asked permission to present Manning's credentials to the House. It had been the nolicv of the House by an unbroken train of precedents 10 seat, the member who held the certifi cate of the Governor. He asked to have the certificate read Keifer, of Ohio, said that Manning had never accepted the certificate. He had put on the clerk's file a statement which showed that he was beaten by 980 votes. He had also in effect stated that he would uot ask to be seated on that certificate. Did the gentleman propose to force Man ning to do what he would not do himself f Converse replied not only that Man ning held the certificate, and was prima iacie entitled to tue seat, but upon a con test it would be shown that he was en tit led to it upon the merits of the case. i ue cen lucate was read, aud after a discussion over the right of the Republi cans to demand tue reading of the other papers on nie in the clerk's office, Con verse offered a resolution reciting the fact that Van H. Mauning holds the cer titicate of the Governor of Mississippi, aim providing that lie be immediately qualified as the member from the second district of that State, without prejudice to the nnal right to the seat. Kassou, of Iowa, doubted whether the House had a right to order a man who did not claim his seat to be sworn in, to which (.'on verse replied that Manuingdid claim his right to the seat. The previous question was ordered the resolution. Yeas 162, nays 128. on Caalkins, of Indiana, offered a resolu tion providing that the certificate of the Governor of Mississippi certifying the election of Manning to this Congress from the second district of that State, together with the certificate of the Secretary of state and all other papers in the hands of the clerk of the House touching the right ot Chalmers to the seat be referred .1 . . a .a to tne committee ou elections, when ap pointed, with instructions to that commit tee to report without delay which of the parties, if either, is entitled, prima facie to lie sworn iu ou the merits of the case. Pending action the House at 3:40 ad journed after adopting a resolution that the daily hour of meeting shall be 12 o'clock. A Democratic caucus was announced to take place this eveniug at 7:30. The NTan Who Made the Railroad Punch. Mr. Warren Hill, of Boston, who is known to fame as the inventor of the railroad couduetor's ticket punch, is sojourning in our eity ana is located at the Central hotel.

Last summer General Sherman made his last annual inspection of the militai j posts of the army, aud a good story is told by oue of his staff officers of his visit i to one of the Western frontier forts. When the General arrived there was a large crowd of ludians ou hand to look at the "Big Chief of the Whites," as they called him. After they had looked him over to their heart's content, one of them approached and said 5 "Ogb, big Iudian bean want present of caunon." Gen. I m Sherman glanced at the brave and ie- plied : "I cannot give you cannon. What do you want them for t You mean to use them against by soldiers." Now an In dian is not often guilty of anything ap proaching wit, but this oue did very well, fur be said, as he shook his head : 7 - .... .
