. THE FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS, A special session of the forty-fifth: Congress baying been called by the President, that body was.organized on Monday last without any extraordina~ ry incident outside of the election of Speaker of the House. The fears of the Republicans that the ‘Democrats ewoul‘d, turn up with a large majority in the Senate from the absence of republican Senators, and the anticipation in some quarters that the democratic majority in the House would fall one-half below that of the roil-call, were both dispelled. L e _ On Saturday the caucuses of the different, parties 'were held, but all interest was centered in the democratic caucus of the House. During the day it had been determined by ‘the New York delegation to withdraw S. 8. Cox’s name from the list of candidates for the speakership, and this action left but three candidates in the field, namely: Samuel J, Randall, of Pennsylvania; John Goode, jr., of Virginia; and Miltori Saler, of Ohio. The first and only ballot resulted in the election’ of Mr. Randall, the vote standing Ran‘dall, 107; Goode, 23; Sayler, 12; and one blank. 'John G. Thompson, of Ohio, was renominated for sergeant-at-arms, as well as Col. Adams, for ‘chiéf clerk, = - L : ~<The ‘official list of the members of the new House of Representatives, as } prepared by Clerk Adams,contains the ‘names of 152 Democrats and 139 Re'publicans, with no name on the roll for Colorado and the third Missouri District. e S At the election in the House, though ‘the democratic majority was someF what reduced by absentees, Mr. Ran- - dall had a majority of seventeen votes ‘over Gen, Garfield, the republican caueus nominee, owing to the absence 'as well of more Republicans, and all of the other caucus nominees were elected by a similar vote. . IntheSenate there was a full attend--ance, the only absentees being Morton, ‘of Indiana, and Sharon, of Nevada, both Republicans. . There was no attempt made at re-organization, and that body only remained in session about 25 minutes. The Republicans have bt four majority in the Senate, - and thereis considgrg.ble feeling among them at the absence of Sharon. + The President’s- message which was .delivered to both Houses on Monday, ‘in printed form, is only about one column® in length and treats conecisely the reasons assigned for the extra session. It recommends the appropriation of money to provide for the following items: War Department, $32,436,765 ; Navy Department, $2,003,861 ; Court of Claims, $1,206,454 ; Post Office Department, $700,000; Treasury Depattment, $273,801; Department of Justice, $262,535 | Library of Congress, ,s22’Boo' Total, $22,206,307. The followiug estimates for the present year were submitted without recommendation: For rivers and harbors, $13,220,100; forts and fortifications, $2;- } 078,000; permanent annual appropriatichs, 81,031,454 | total, $16,329,554. The iteth for permanent annual appropriations includes money for the refunding of customs and internal revenue taxes illegﬁlly collected, repay- ’ ment to importers tor excéss of deposits, drawback fal&owances, the charges ‘and commissions in cases which have been pending for sometime in the New York courts, repayment of lands #old for direct taxes, payment for hors- | es and o_ther property lost in military gervice, etc. £ ' Ll THE INDIANA DELEGATION 4y cowA e ~ - The Washington Republican thus speaks of the Indiana delegation in Congress: ; e _“A finer-looking and more intelligent body of gentlemen, as a whole never represented any State in Congress. Of ‘the thirteen ‘members and Senators ‘only three will fall short of, while at least one-third of them will tower sev‘eral inches above six feet in height. Major Calkins leads them all in'this respect, he being six feet four inches, a giant in form as well as in intellect, and is, the ladies say,’as handsome as a picture. A majority of them will be ‘heard from’ this winter in more waysthan one.” e CF Let us hope that the prediction may | be verified in the fullest sénse of the { word. By united action they can accomplish a great deal for their consti‘tuents. The people of this State being‘practically a unit on the finance question, we expect to see the democratic and republican “members working shoulder to shoulder for the. repeal of the Sherman resumption act and for theremonetization of the silver dollar. THE French election on Sunday last (says Tuesday’s Indianapolis Journal) resulted in the triumph of the Republicans, but not by the decided majority predicted by Gambetta in his speech at Lille, Instead of 400 republican ‘members being returned, the government has secured an increase of between thirty and forty seats, so that the republican strength will nét be much, if any, over 340. There are 533 members of the Chamber of Deputies. The Republicaps will have, therefore, fully as large & majority as 1s either necessary or useful.

‘THE ERA’S FAVORITE FOR SPEAKER. ~ Our independent contemporary, the Albion New Era, last week expressed | an earnest and somewhat enthusiastie preterence for the. election of Samuel J. Randall as Speaker of the House.— The principal argument advanced in support of Randall’s re-election to that position was his course during the latter ‘part of the electoral contest last February and March. The consummation of that infamous plot, rendered possible by the ruling of the Speaker, has greatly endeared Mr. ~Rand_all to our remarkably independent contemporary. The part played by Mr. Randall in that dark conspiracy has made him a favorite with the New E7a. Al his short-comings are wiped out, expunged, and forgotten, by that single act. Thisis kind, magnanimous, generous. And in order to make this ~magnanimity perfectly apparent to ‘our readers, we herewith append an -extract from the Indianapolis Journal, ‘which appreciates Randall’s valuable ‘services in the electoral conspiracy as highly as does our;j independent contemporary<at Alblon, but at the same time dees not feel=inclined to ignore certain “peculiarities” in the re-elected Speaker. Says the Journal : Randall is a man of low tone personally,and represents the worst school of politics. A demagogue by nature and education, trained in the slums of Philadelphia, and graduated in all the slippery arts of Washington, selfish, unscrupulous, and a hitter partiqan‘,( _he comes about as near representing 'all the worst elements of Democracy as any man that could be named. He wag an open salary-grabber, voting for and drawing his back pay with the shamelessuess of a highwayman. * * The friend and ally of claim agents, the boon companion of lobbyists, a reliable supporter of rings and subsidies, he has worked his way by these corrupt arts into the front rank of a corrupt party, and is now rewarded with ‘a re-election to the second place injthe government. - We do not, as.a matter of course, accept the Journal's attack upon Mr. Randall as being in strict conformity ‘with truth. To do so would be givingthe Journal credit for that to which it is not entitled. For partisan purposes that paper would not hesitate to paint Mr. Randall a good deal blacker than he really is. But we have no hesitancy in saying that much of the Journal'sindictment is true. Themain points of that indictment were urged against Mr. Randall long before he gave a tacit assent to the presidential conspiracy. When he was a candidate { against the lamented Michael C. Kerr, these damaging points were boldly set forth in-hundreds of democratic journalg, and his overwhelming defeat at that time was everywhere interpreted ‘aB a determination on part of the democratic majority of the House to permit no ring legislation or jobbery such as disgraced the House while under the dominion of the corrupt demagogue, Jim Blaine, Ignoring entirely his connection with the electoral contest, we regard the election of M. Randall as Speaker a grave error. His qualifications for the office are universally acknowledged, and it may be that his administration will be guided by considerations of ofiitial purity and integrity; but if so, some of his old habits must be sternly rencunced. v ) - R .

~ “That Virginia Discussion.” - Eprror BANNER :—I haveread sevoral articles in THE BANNER under the above caption in connection with which my name has been used freely. Thus far I have said nothing, but as much has been said a few words from me may not be out of place. ~From evidences in my possession I am fully convinced that the Virginia discussion between Elders Winebren- | ner and Corliss was a success for the | Advents, notwithstanding the late | statement of Elder Dofflemyer. I will | insert a few statements from Elder Corliss. In speaking of the debate he agga: v = o “The President did not attend the first day, but a pro tem was chosen, neither was he present the last day, | having said to the moderator chosen by me that he was disgusted at Winebrenner’s ungentlemanly conduct, and utter railure to produce biblical proof, therefore would not attend longer. “With regard to Eld. Dofflemyer, his moderator, he teld me on the afternoon of the third day that he had no doubt in his mind but we had the question, and said he, “There are only one or two texts in the New Testameut that seem to conflict with your view, which, if you will harmonize with the rest of the Bible, I will be with you.’” g - At the conclusion of the discussion Elder Corliss baptized three who_had newly embraced the views of Adventists. . B | - He, Elder Coriss, further says, “The reason why I mrade a modest report.in the Review was I did not consider that we had any defeat to cover up by making a great demons{ration, therefore instead of ‘going around and coaxing people to sign a statement of their defeat and reporting it, we were 'willing to let the discussion rest upon its'own merits, and are willing to do the same again, therefore I accept the challenge to meet Elder Winebrenner, and make it morer convenient for Mr. W., so he -may have no excuse. I will meet him -in his own covnty, and will be ready ‘at anytime convenient to both parties. Let him inform me by letter. My present address is Howard City, Montcalm Co., Mick. J. O. CorLlss.” . i Elder C.-will discuss the followmg! questions: Mt ko Ist.- That the kingdom spoken of in ! Dan. 2:44; Luke 1:32- 33, and Isa. 9:86, is now set up in fact.— Winebrenner affirms. ¢ - . : 2nd. The promise of the Spirit as given by Christ to his disciples, John 16:13-15, was designed for his church, and to extend throughout the gospel age.—Corliss affirms. : 3rd. That the Scriptures teach that the 7th day Sabbath of the fourth Eom- 1 mandment -of the Decalogue is now | binding on all mankind.—Corliss affirms. pey 4th. That the Scriptures teach that the first day of the week should be sacredly observed as a Sabbath by mankind.— Winebrenner affirms. = _ I beg pardon of the reader for intro- 1 ducing again “That Virginia Discussion” with which doubtless many have ‘becoms disgusted already. As a de-i nomination we do not seek controver--By, but at times are driven to defend our views, and occasionally meet men far more famous for their debating dualities than for any of the Christian graces which make for peace.. When such is the case we meet them fairly and gquarely, as we purpose to do un= der the present circumstances. If Elder W, does not wish to accept the above, 1 hold myself in readiness, at a' proper time and place, to discuss the same with him. Christian Age please . COpYy. % S. H.

Just north- | east of the city of Lansing, in a aost r’beautiful grove, selected and fitted up for the occasion, furnished with never- ‘ failing “wells of purc water. There were 152 tents on the ground during the last week; their average size was 16x20 feet. They were arranged in the form of a hollow square, with extension on the south and east, laid out in regular streets and squares.— The mammoth pavilion occupied the center of the grand square. This tent is 60x120 feet, new and clean, capable of holding 5,000 people. There were from 1,200 to 1,500 people who occupied the small tents and remained on theground. This was the largest gath‘ering of seven-day people ever known | in America. During week days the | crowd averaged from 2,500 to 3,000, and | on Sunday there were at least 10,000 | peopleon the ground. Many,of course, | visit for mere idle curiosity, but as'a | general thing the sermons are listened | to attentively, for there are many | strong reasons and eloquent spéakers | among the ministers of this denomi- | nation.’ b : J Excursion trains were run over the Lake Shiore and Chicago & Lake Hu- | ron roalls.

This will put an end to the vexatious contests ‘with the Nez Perces Indians, ' The Social Democrats of Wisconsin ‘have nominated Col. Campbell, of Mil‘waukee, for Governor. The platform is similar to that of the workingmen’s party in other States. This makes five State tickets in the Wisconsin. Wm. C. Gilman, s New York broker of high business and social standing, has committed forgeries of insurance scrip and bank stock and secured | loans thereon to the amount of over $200,000. He goes to the penitentiary. ~ The news from Eastern Pennsylvad nia is cheering.. The’miners have determined to go to work, and if the committee will not agree to the proposition of the operators the men will break with the union and go to work independently.

The platform geclares gold and;silver the only cons stitutional legal-tender; demands the remonetization of silver; denounces ‘the resumption act, but says that “re- | sumption should come as soon us the business interests of the country will permit.” : : The U. 8. troops under the command of Major Miles attacked Chief Joseph at his stronghold on Snake Creek, on the 30th ult., and succeeded in giving the doughty warrior a severe castigation.

Joseph and a good portion .of his band escaped, but were pursued and soon after surrendered. . The news fi;om the Mexican border is such as to indicate that Uncle Sam will bé compelled to teach the infernal greasers a thing or two. The other week a'mob of 400 Mexicans crossed the Rio Grande and took possession of two countiegs in Texas. They seized the officials of the counties and held them prisoners while manpy other outrages were committed. Such insults .and indignities can not be suffered by our government and vigorous means should be adopted to suppress them. ‘There is a batch of unimportant war news from the East this (Tuesday) morning. The only thing that seems;to be agreed upon by both parties is the fact that a Russian advance upon the Turkish pogition is contemplated, and that the Imperial Guard have gone forward to take partf in it. The Hungarian invasion of Roumania is pronounced a hoax, and the report that Osman Pasha’s force is tired of fighting and wants to surrender, will probably be found to be a hoax’also. | — Indianapolis Journal. Owing to certain conflicting political ambition General Harlan and Mr. Bristow, although old time friends, haye no further social intercourse,— Both of them want the place left vacant on the supreme bench by the regignation of Judge Davis, and one way to politically kill each other, they geem to imagine, is to commit social murder. During Hayes’ visit to Lou- | isyille Mr. Bristow entertained him, but invited neither General ‘llarlan nor any member of his family. General Harlan,te balance accounts,spread his hospitable board, and laid no cover for any of the Bristows. Social gossip inquired the wherefore of all this, ‘found out the reason and pulled the cloth of silence.from the corpse of the old friendship, and now the world laughs and jeers at the spectacle. - : 4 v . ; Senator Morton’s Removal.

That New Horse Disease in Canada. ' From the Montrea!

Drowsiness, inability to swallow, great thirst, paralysis, and exhaustion are the nature and order in which the symptons occur. The last stage is reached in from four to twelve hours after the commencement of the attack, and death occursin from twen-ty-four to forty-eight hours. The disease appears to be non-infectious, dependent upon atmospheric causes, and closely resembling diphtheria jn the ‘human subject.

Brick Pomeroy in his address to the people of that county at the fair recently held there made the statement ‘ that the publicdebt should never have - been contracted and should never be paid. There may possibly be a misun-. derstanding between Brick and the Standard, for we can séarcely believe that even Brick would utter those sentiments at the county fair. But be that as it may, Pomeroy’s Democrat has furnished the Republican papers with more extracts villifying the democratic party than any paper of their -own party they can name: Last year when Pomeroy opposed Tilden and "Hendricks, he was guoted as being about the best, most sensible and purest man in America. But just now there is no' election, the Republicans have no use for the blatherskite, and - consequently their estimation of him -is no better than our own is and has been for years back. Had he, instead . of uttering that statement expressed himself very freely against the Democrais, the Standaerd would now pat him on the shoulder and say “go in bully boy,” notwithstanding his repudiation proclivities. : e Pae————— Dead Against the Resumption Act, KANsAs CiTy, Mo, Oct. 15th.—At a meeting of the board of trade of this ‘city to-day a memorial was adopted praying Congress that the resumption -act be at once unconditionally repealed, and that the equalization in value of gold and United States Treasury notes be effected with time and increased economy in expenditures; that silver be unconditionally remonetized and placed upon the same basis it {’stood upon before being demonetized by Congress; that the contraction of currency be stopped; that the power to contract it be taken from the Sec- | retary of the Treasury, and that the -United States Treasury notes be made legal tenders in payment of all debts public and private except where the obligation itself demands dischaxge in coin. - ; Tornado in the West Indies, ' HAVANA, October .15.—St. Thomas advices state that a fearful hurricane visited Curacoa and neighboring isi lands September 23, and caused great, damage, The wind blew from all quarters. The sea washed away the lower "part of the town of Wilhelmstadt. Nearly every house in what'is known as the Petrimay quarter was destroyed and the fortifications arein ruins.
