SPECULATIONS of Washing on* correspondents as to what will be done in Con grass—which meets on Monday—although differing in many particulars generally coincide in the opinion that nothing of importance will be attempted until after the holiday recess, except the disposal of the Cuban question, and the introduction of bills which will require lengihy consideration. Senator SHBKMAN'S funding bill will be the most prominent of this character, and will be submit.cd early in the session. The several committees charged with investigations during the recess will also submit their reports without delay. Among them will be the report of the House Judiciary Committee regarding the charges against Judge BUSTEED, of Alabama, which it is believul will include a resolution of impeachment of that officer of high crimes and misdemeanors. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs will also submit a report of its investigation of the Paraguayan difficulties, which will prove to be very interesting reading, and will doubtless exculpate Minister WASHBURN from his alleged complicity in the plot against the life of President LOI»EZ, but will disclose the fact that he was used by the conspirators as an innocent medium ofcommunieationjbetween LOPEZ'S camp and that of the allies. The Census Committee will present its report at, the same time, accompanied by a bill organizing the Census Bureau for the census of 1870, and including numerous valuable recommendations, among which will be one providing for the enumeration of the different religious sects in the country, 'which has not been done heretofore. The Election Committee will also submit its report relative to the Southern elections and several contested seats from the Northern States, and the Ways and Means Committee will present a lengthy statement of i:s observations relative to our commercial condition during its extensive travels in all sections of the countrv.

.r The Last Elections of 1S69. At this writing we have no intelligence from the elections in Mississippi and Texas which commenced yesterday and will probably continue tinue two days i» the former and four in the latter State. A .full board of State officers and a General Assembly are to be elected in cach of these Sta'es, and in Mississippi anew constitution is to be submittal, the people expressing their opin ion separately upon the test-oath.disabili-ties, and the loaning of the credit of the State for purposes of internal improvement, The rival candidates for the office of Governor of Mississippi are Col. JAMES L. ALCORN, Republican !:ml Judge LEWIS DENT, "Conservative." ALCORN, as our readers are aware, was an oflieer in the rebel army, lie fought bravely for a bad cause, and when that cause fell he abandoned it forever and gave his sympathies and co-operation to the only party that has shown consitcnt friendship for the defeated South. His opponent, Judge

In Texas the contest is triangular. Ei. WARD J. DAVIS heads the Republican, A. J. HAMILTON the Conservative, and HAMILTON STUART the simon-pure Democratic ticket. We are not sufficiently advised in relation to the situation to venture a prediction as to the result, but have strong hopes that the voters of Texas will have the good sense to repudiate HAMILTON'S trickery hnd deceit, STUART'S undisguised disloyalty, and to elect Mr. DAVIS,

the candidate of the party whose

success alone can help to restore that State to the influences of modern civilization, from which she has been self-excluded for a long time.

The most important fact in relation to these two States, the onl^ones remaining to be reconstructed, is that--by the forethought of Senator

MORTON

th«jy cannot

be restored to their old-time the general government until have ratified the proposed Fifteenth Amendment. This they will be very sure to do whatever party may triumph in the election now progressing. The dose may be a bitter one,* but they need it, and let us hope they will gulp it down with as good a grace as did "TliC 01df,Ppminion.

Yandcrbilt Junior Imitates his Papa

nr?1

From the Now York Sun, Nov. 23.] It 'was said ycsterditv' that Corneliti:Vanderbilt, Jr., the son of Commodore Vanderbilt, had been arrested for offering a check on a bank where lie had no money. Attention was at oriofe directed to Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Jr., who is the Treasurer of the Harlem lailroad. lie, however, is not lie son but the grandson of the bronzed nyuiner. The story got abroad under ffie jfolloiving circumstance^

One of the Sheriff's deputies set about finding the body. But the body was another Irishman's flea—one day it was in one hotel, and then on the following day in another place. The chase became exciting. It terminated, however, by the deputy lidding young Vanderbilt in the upper part of the city on the second floor of an elegantly furnished house.

Thereupon, the body of young Vanderbilt was lodged in the famous debtors' jail in Ludlow street. The youngster's situation was rendered exceedingly disagreeable by the fact that his venerable father would not tolerate the mention of the festive scapegrace's name in his presence. Briefly, the governor wouldn't pay a cent of the wayward youth's indebtedness unless the youth would repent and become.a member of the Church. The young man found it inconvenient to do this, and therefore, he lay fourteen days in jail.— At the expiration of this time, a friend with whom young Vanderbilt had been on draw-poker terms of intimacy, and who is in that department of the Sheriff's office in which the judgments in civil actions are entered, saw one Chadwick in Vanderbilt's behalf. Chadwick saw oth er and effected a release. .-X

Mr. Cady having become convinced that lie was not likely to recover any ready money, and as he could not dispose off the body of Vanderbilt except by keeping it in prison, he became Vanderbilt's bail as a matter of economy, and hence the youth is at large, subject to be arrested at any moment.

The consignment of the millionaire's child to the dungeons of Ludlow street, led to the disclosure of a transaction with Messrs. V. Haughwout & Co., the extensive importers silverware, to whom he had given another worthless check. The check which young Vanderbilt foisted upon them was in payment for a.set of magnificent crockery.

Recently young Vanderbilt attempted to go into bankruptcy. He stated his debts at over §300,000. Among others to whom he owed various sums^ of money was the Hon. Horace Greeley. The Philosopher was visted by young Vanderbilt just when he was busily writing one of those pleasant little articles oh political economy. "I have come to get your indorsement on a note, Mr, Greeley," said Vanderbilt.

The philosopher heard the request with composure His mind, however, was engrossed with his work.

Mechanically lie took the check which was presented to liini and indorsed it. Young Vanderbilt went direct to the bank and undertook to get the check cashed,

No one could decipher the indorsement. Yeung Vanderbilt said it was the name of Horace Greeley. Every person in the bank attempted to decepher it. Then an aged and trustworthy clerk was dispatched to the

office with the check.

My God, man, what do you waiiti" inquired the polititico-economic philosopher, greatly annoyed when the clerk interrupted him. "Is that your signature?" "I think it is," replied the philosopher, without lobking up. "Are you sure it is?" "I cant say for certain," replied the philosopher, still bending over his work. "I must know for certain whether it is or not."

Mr. Greeley took the check in his hand, scrutinized it, and handed it back saying, "It is all right that is my indorsement."

Young Vanderbilt received the money from the bank, and when the check became due it was not paid, and Mr. Greeley had to pay it.

This came to the knowledge of the elder Vanderbilt, and forthwith he posted to the

Tribune

Mr. Greeley looked up from his manuscript, and mildly remarket!, "I did not ask you to."

The Commodore vanished.

THE DESTRUCTION of the Boston Coliseum, which occurred last week, and which we have already recorded, it must be understood is, this time, a final finisher, the others being penultimate and antepenultimate. This reduction to ruin seems to be regarded in Boston as occasioned by the direct interposition of the gods who were not willing to hare this temple of harmony devoted to any meaner than its original and divine purpose.— So ./Eolus was ordered to unloose his largest wind-bag, and to blow ii66n that house so that it should fall. Once he tried it, and once the superb structure but partiallv yielded to his boisterous assaults. He returned to the charge, and the Coliseum is musically speaking in seven flats.

Of course, such an event does not pass in Boston without eccasioning in the newspapers man}- remarks, philosophical, humorous, historical, and moral. Tlie pbet ofthe

My Adventure with Rattlesnakes.

BV. 8. C. DURHAM.

Some three miles west from the city of Meriden, Conn., is a ragged, rocky eleva-^titGn-of.Bome nine hundred feet, approachby*,a rough cart path, cut,through the bushes at its base, from which' a path beaten through loose stones which have crumbled from the cliff, leads circaitously to the summits Por two or three years the "W«stjPeak," as it is called, has bo: ne the "reputation of being infested with rattie-

Mtakes. Nor is this reputation witlujut TOundation, for, during the sumfiefr of I860, no less than five of these reptiles were captured at the ba^e, of the .mountain.

Notwithstanding the reports and newspaper paragraphs to this effect, the writer: prepared, on Saturday, August 14th, to carry out a deterrrtittAtion, made long before, to asCcftd the West Peak—not for the purpose of capturing or killing snakes, but for the beantiful landscape view which may be had from the summit. Indeed, I hoped to escape any encounter with the snakes, and so little was the weight I gave to the reports concerning them, that I did no expect io see any.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning I r..ck into the cart path among the bushes, and.soon after,reached the foot path which winds to the the top of the cliff. For nearly an hour I toiled patiently, along this path, no# stopping to pluck a rare flower growing from a crevice in the rock, or to push off a loose boulder, and hear it cfapfc'jthrough the. bushes, rattle over the 'shingle,'ana finally stop, with aloud"thud" against the trunk of some tree at the base. At length I gained the broad, slnooth rock at the summit. The magnificent view here spread out before the beholder well repays the toil* and heat, and fatigue of the ascent. Almost at his feet is the busy city of Meriden—the city of silver plate and cutlery. Just adjacent is the village of Hanover, with her beautiful sheet of 'water. To the west are the quiet villages of Southington, Cheshire, Plantsville and Mount Carmel. Far to the north rise the spires of New Britain, and beyond, those of Hartford. Away in the

The check was drawn on a bank in Hartford, Conn., and when it was presented was rejected and fent back protested.— Mr. Cady, therefore, instituted a civil action. Thfci dragged along until finally a judgment against the young man was entered. But the officers of the law could not find a#y property which he possessed, aftd theytherefore, made retain accordingly. The next proceeding oh the part of Mr. Cady was to get an execution against the body of the offending scion of the house of Vanderbilt.

ing him so that, he could not crawl away. He set up a sharp and prolonged rattle, while I leaped into the gorge a few feet below him, determined to finish the job and carry away his rattles. For this purpose I armed myself witli.stones, which I found near the opening of the gorge, and returned once more to accomplish my purpose. When about to throw a stone I was again startled by a succession of rattles, proceeding from under the rock .a few feet above the wounded snake. Directing my eyes to this quarter I saw three more hideous reptiles emerge from the opening and advance toward me with heads ect. I had scarcely become conscious of this when I lietCrd other rattles in ihe gorge behind me. I turned and saw two more snakes I The truth immediately flashed upon me—I had stumbled into the very den of the snakes which Had so long infested the neighborhoood, molested them in their stronghold, and they were coming out all' around at the call.of the monster at my feet! I had accidently come upon one of them. Five more appeared in less time than it takes to read or tell it. The next—perhaps fifty more might come out within reach of me, and I fall an easy prey to their venomous fangs alone in this mountain gorge. These thoughts flashed through my mind, and with them the plan for deliverance. I could not flgtit them—I was entirely unarmed, not even having the heavy cane I usually carried on such rambles. Flight was my only safety. I might grasp a projection of the rock in front of me, and draw myself out of their reach, and then climb to the top of the rock without difficulty. I did not hesitate about following this course hesitancy at that moment would have been death. I was obliged to step over the snake I had Wounded to reach the rock nn-\Tmn Turn-* ir nr\ while clambering up I heard the rattling (jj^jNj continued, and it seemed rapidly to

crease, but I had no inclination to pursue my investigations farther. I was too much exhausted, and, withal, too thoroughly frightened even to turn my head to look back.

I hastened down the mountain path, trembling at the rustle of the startled bird and the singing of the locust. On reaching a spring, at the beginning of I the cart path, I drank copiously of the water, and sat down on the grass to recover from my exhaustion. A few minutes after I reached the Meriden and Southirtgton turnpike, and took my way homeward, truly thankful, I hope, for this almost miraculous deliverance from the greatest peril of my life.—PaclcM-ds

A STORMY autumn, "the oldest inhabitant,"says, may be followed by a compara-1 tively mild winter. However this may be, we have certainly since the middle of I September had a remarkably storfhy autumn—the most destructive in its floods ind winds throughout the States, from Maine to Texas, and from Connecticut to California, of any on record. We think, too, -that the elements having thus expended their wrath in September, Octoer and November, there is some reason for theory that the winter months will be comparatively mild. At all events we hope so.

ANY one achievement nowadays provokes others of a similar sort, and by that general rule, we may expect to see more interoceanic canals agitated and more government frauds discovered.
