Work of the llonne. Washington, March 3. The afternoon session of the House to-day was noity, busy and good natured, but fortunately not fruitful in dangerous legislation. Mr. Dawes again reported that the conference committee could not agree on the executive, legislative atnl judicial bill, the Senate Insisting on its amendments, which were not genuine, and a new committee was The conference report on the Southern or Texas Pacific railroad was adopted.

Mr. Washburne, of Wiscon-' hiit, made another attempt to get the St. Croix railroa.l bill throitgh, amending' it so as to restrict the grant of land to the original dimensions, but it was again defeated A resolution construing the tariff act so as to permit the free transportation of eattle tor breeding purjtoses was put through. Ac earnest attempt was made to get a full 1 set of the Globe for all new members of the next Congress, involving an expense ot but the House would not i allow it. It was stated in the delate that the cost ot publishing the Globe now is $1923 a day.

A desperate struggle was made to pass the bill increasing the pensions of disabled soldiers and sailors twenty per cent for five years, involving an expense of seven million dollars, but this was also defeated.

When the resolution of thanks to Speaker Blaine was proposed, Mr. Cox, oi New York, in belialt of the made a complimentary speech in its and said lie hoped the votes he unanimous, but Muugen, of was the single man to vote no, with vi ry bad tempered loudness. I tic Pacific Railroad. roth Houses of Congress were very laige'y occupied to-day in considering report of the conference committee the Southern or Texas Pacific railroad In the Lower House the report was acquiesced in without much debate, hut in the Senate it met with fierce The great difficulty seemed to be that certain parties would rather the bill killed entirely than to have passed as agreed upon by the conterence committee.

Rice and McDonald and other Southwestern and Southern Senators appeared to care less for the interests of the trunk iine than of local branches, which they sought to put on the hill, while the real friends of the ran line were of the opinion that by leaving the tange of the road to the retion of the incorporators it was in iking it a Northern road, having! nothing but Northern connections and ordinate entirely to Northern inter i vera! obnoxious sections of the bill wer. "-tri'ken out, but the Senate was, in no mood lor further discussion on amen linent, and so the report was con- urred in by a very close vote. The Army Until Mouses concurred to-night in the of the conference committei on the Army appropriation bill. McDonald's amendment relative to the payment of claims of Southern loyalists, and Stewart's amendment reflating the payment ol interest bv the Pacifier ailroad to the (Government, were lioth adopted.

The Germans Evacuate Paris. From Emperor William to the Km Bkri.is, March 3. The Empress has the following dispatch from the Emperor: March 5. I have just ratified the conditions of peace, which the Bordeaux Assembly have accepted. Thus far the work is complete, which was through seven months of battles to be achieved.

Thanks to the valor, devotion and endurance of our incomparable army, and to the sacrifices of our whole Fatherland, the Lord of Hosts has everywhere visibly blessed our enterprises, and by His mercy has permitted an honorable peace. To him be the honor, to the Fatherland thanks. ILHELM." The above was publicly read amid the booming of artillery, the ringing of bells and the cheering of the people wild with joy. The Ratlflt'Mtion or the Treaty. Paris, Mareh 2.

It is said Bismarck is disappointed at the haste made by France in ratifying the treaty, as it gives the Emperor no chance to enter the city. Excited mobs surround th? German troops, and conflicts are feared. The Preliminaries of Peace. Special to the Veesaim.es, March 2. The preliminaries of peace arranged by Bismarck and other plenipotentiaries with Thiers and Favre, are as follows: Article i specifies the line of demarcation.

Article 2 provides that France will pay the Germans five milliards of francs, one milliard at least in 1871, and all the rest in the space of three years from the ratification. Article 3 provides that the evacuation is to commence on the ratification of the treaty by the Assembly; that the German troops will then immediately quit Paris and the left bank of the Seine, and also the Departments of Cher, Indre, Loire and Seine-Inferieure; the French troops to remain behind the Loire till the signing of the treaty of peace, except those in Paris, where the Government is not to have exceeding 'JO, (AH) troops. The Germans will evacuate the right bank of the Seine after signing a definite treaty and the payment of half a milliard francs. After the payment of two milliards the Germans will only hold the Departments of Marne, Ardennes, Meuse, Vosges, Meurtbe and Belfort. After the payment of three milliards the Germans will only keep 50,000 troops in France, but if a sufficient money guaranty be eiven, the Germans will evacuate completely at once, otherwise three milliards will carry interest at five per cent, from ratification.

Paris, March 4. Not a German eoldier remains in Paris. Tlie Saxons parsed out at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, marching in front of the Arc de Triutuphe, amid profouud silence of a few spectators. By noon the evacuation of the city was complete. The German Emperor afterwards reviewed 100,000 men in Bois de Boulogne.

Prussian leaders were disappointed at the coldness and implacable attitude of the Parisians. Several journals resumed publication to-day. They are unanimous in the opinion that the impression produced by the preliminary terms of peace were very bad. Thev declare that no peace is real when obtained under such duress, but they recommend calmness and concord as a means of making thej country great and prosperous. The authorities are preparing to dis- band the Mobile Guards in Paris.

The city is quiet to-day. A number of persons suspected to be spies have been arrested by the people, and several women seen talking with Prussians in Champ Elyseea were severely handled. Open air meetings are held day and night in Place de l'Bastile, but no scenes of violence are reported.

the resumption of business at half past 10 o'click, a recess having been taken from 6 o'clock to that hour much interest was manifested, both in the galleries and on the fioor, in the closing scenes, which, however, were devoid of special interest. The bill for the o( tax on coal was laid aside to give way to the bill for the relief of the Sisters of Charity of Charleston, which was under debate when, the session expired. The same subject was under consideration at the close of the preceding session of this Congress, when it was, as on the present occasion, defeated by de- bate. Messrs. Morton and Thurman, according to previous appointment, reported having waited upon the President, and that the Executive had no other communication to make.

At this point Mr. Bayard rose to a question of privilege, and oll'ered a resolution respectfully tendering the thanks of the Senate to Hon. Schuvler Colfax, Vice President of the United States, for the eminent ability, courtesy, and impartial manner with which he has presided over the deliberations of this body. The resolution was entertained by unanimous vote, and adopted without objection. The hour of 12 o'clock, fixed by the (institution for the expiration of the session, arrived, when the Vice President addressed the Senate as follows: Thanking Senators for their approval of my official course, which you have placed your records, I declare the 2d session of the Forty-first Congrrss of the I'nited States adjourned without day.

The time fixed for the assembling of the first Bession, according to the Constitution, of the Fortysecond Congress, having arrived, the Secretary will call the roll of names of Senators elect, who will present themselves in front of the Vice President's chair to take the oath of office. In accordance with the invitation of the Vice President, the organization of the Senate was proceeded with, and the Senators present came forward and took the oath of office. The Vice President stated that the name of Mr. Vance, Senator from North Carolina, would not be called, as the loyal and politfeal disabilities of that gentleman had not been removed, The credentials of a number of Sen- ators from the South were temporarily disposed of bv being laid on the table, and at 115 the Senate adjourned until 12 o'clock Tuesday. The all night session of the House continued until 5:30 clock A.

M. A 1 regular storm was raised by a proposition of Mr. Garfield to adopt an amendment of the which amendment was interpreted by Democrats to aim at giving the Republican majority in the next "Congress the same power that it exercised during the present Congress. through its majority of over two-thirds. The proposition was to amend the 42d rule so as to provide that after the previous question is moved nomotionshail be entertained except to adjourn, to fix the time to which the House will ad- journ, and to lay on the motions not to be repeated; and that after the previous question is seconded no original motion whatever shall be entertained except the single motion to adjourn.

Meters. Eldridge and Brooks of New York, Randall and other Democrats, denounced the proposition in un Seine will be delivered to the French in a few days. One division of the army of the Loire will shortly reinforce the garrison of Paris. London, March 4. It is rumored that Napoleon is negotiating for an estate in Bohemia, where he will retire.

i Prince Frederick drove into Paris on Thursday. It was reported that Empe- 1 ror William also visited the city. Victor Emanuel has written to Empe- ror William, expressing his surprise and disappointment at the hard terms imposed upon France, especially in regard to territory. Versailles, March 4. The German forces have received orders to withdraw behind the line of the Seine.

The statement that the partial character of the occupation of was the result of the intervention of England is untrue, England's influence was exercised wholly on the question of war "indemnity. Bkrmn, March 5. The Einperor will return to Berlin in about eight days. Prince Frederick Charles has been appointed commander-in-chief of the army of occupation in France. His headquarters will be at Rhiems.

M. Thiers declined to make a treaty of commerce with Germany on the ground that it is necessary for France to imitate the United States and restore equilibrium by high tariff's. Berlin is briliantly illuminated tonight. The Empress and Princess drove through the streets and were received with great enthusiasm. The Cattle I'Iukiip.

Von Moltke is in favor of the evacuation of Versailles, and the details for the evacuation of the forts on the left bank of the Seine were arranged yesterday. Circulation is again free in Paris, and crowds of curious people this afternoon were visiting the scene of the German occupation. The citizens generally confess that the Germans, during their stay in the city, behaved well. CONGRESSIONAL. Adjournment of I tie Old and ration of the Xf CoiiRrm.

measured terms amicUt peat excite ment, Mr. Brooks vowing that the Democrats would resist it even at the hazard of revolution. Mr. Van Wick declared that the Forty -Second Congress could adopt its own rules, and that the present Congress had lound the existing rules necessary to secure honest legislation. Mr.

Eldridge thanked God that there were some honest men on the Republican side of the House. Mr. Garfield denied that it was the purpose ol the proposed rule to place the minority in the power of the majority. Finally, amid much uproar, the question was takeTi on suspending the rules and adopting the amendment, and it was negatived by a vote of 64 to 52 not two-thirds in the affirmative. Another scene occurred, where Mr.

Clark, of Kansas, made an attempt to get up a land grant bill which was denounced by Messrs. McNeely and Randall as an attempt to steal, the charge being denied by Mr. Clark, who pronounced it false. The ill feeling went so lar that active movers in the affair shook their fists at each other but did not come to blows. A proposition to suspend the rules and pass the bill got only two affirmative votes.

Finally, at half past four o'clock, the Omnibus bill came up from the Senate with an enormous batch of amendments tacked to it, which were read. Mr. Dawes stated that the committee of Appropriation had looked over the Senate amendments, and that although there were many things in them which they did not entirely approve, he still thought that on the whole the beat thing which "the House could do was to concur in them all, rather than send them to a conference committee. He therefore moved to concur in all the Senate amendments. Mr.

Lawrence indorsed the statement of Mr. Dawes, and said that the bill as it came from the Senate was an improvement on the bill as it had left the House. The amendments were then concurred in, and the House at 5:20 o'clock took a recess till 10 o'clock A. having first resolved that no business should be in order during the rest of the session except to receive from the President and Senate, to tnroll bills and in reference to general appropriation bills. Both Houses, at a few miiutes past twelve, proceeded to the reorganization of the new Congress.

The President and members of his Cabinet, together with his private Secretaries, occupied the President's room near the Senate chamber, where the President s'gned all bills which were presented to excepting nine. The President this morning approve land signed sixty-sewn bills, including the remaining genera appropriation bills. The President remained at lis room some time awaiting the of the two Houses, in order to lave the joint committee the trouble of lending to him at the Executive He had no printed message to communicate. Several hundred which passed one House, in the other faila? to receive concurrent action. The House reconvened at tei o'clock P.

and the Speaker presetted several Executive communication, among others a message from the vetoing a House bill, and whict was referred to the committee on Claims. Members generally wore an expression of weariness, consequent on lie long night session and want of res. After about five minutes spent in tb presentation of Executive messaes, the House took a further recess til eleven o'clock. Meanwhile the nembers gathered In groups, holding nisv conversations over scenes of the igiit session and preparations for the opening of the Forty-seeond Congress and the galleries gradually tilled up fith spectators. The House resumed its ecflioii at 1 1 A.

M. Consent being asked fr several projiositions ol various kinds, -Jr. Randall objected, and gave noticithat he would object to everything. Business therefore came to a stand still and the buzz of conversation becami general in the hall and galle.es. At this time there was not a vaont seat in the galleries.

At 11:40 a committee of te House was ordered, with a like coirnittee on the part of the Senate, to waiupon the President and inform him tat if he had no further communicatiotto make, Congress was ready to adjourn Messrs. Garfield, Mercer and Cox wer appointed as such committee. Mr. Garfield announced hat the committee appointed for th? purpose had waited on the President, nd were authorized to inform Congrei that he had no further communicatiotto make. The hour of noon arrivet when a call was interrupted by the ftl of the Speaker's gavel.

Suddenly te clamor of the House was hushed im perfect stillness, when the Speaker, Idressing the House, said Gentlemen of the House Representatives Our labors are an end, but I delay final adjournont long enough to return my moebrofouna and respectful thanks for ie commendation which you have bei pleased to bestow upon mv official and 1 conduct In a deliberative Myof this character a presiding officer if he retains the confidice and steady support of his politnl advo- cates. Beyond that, you gii me the assurance that I have earn the re- 1 spect and good will of frn whom i 1 am separated by party lim Youri expressions are most grateful Irae, and most gratefully The Congress whose existence cses with this hour enjoys memorable dtinction. It is the first in which all States have been represented on this since the baleful winter that preced our late bloody war. Ten years passed since then years of trial ancriumph, 1 years of wild destruction nor ears of careful rebuilding, and after and as the result of all, the Xationf Govern- ment is here to-day, unite strong, proud, defiant and just, witk territo- rial area vastly expanded nd with three additional States reprinted on the folds of its flag. For tse proeperous fruits of our great strqle let as humbly give thanks to the of Battles and the Prince of Peace.

And now. gentlemen, with one more expression of the obligation I feel for the coneiderate kindness with which you have always sustained me, I perform the only remaining duty of my office in declaring, as I now do, that the House of Representatives of the Forty first Congress is adjourned sine die. As the Speaker pronounced the last words of his address and stepped down from the dais to take his place oh the floor as a member of the new Congress, unanimous expressions of approval and applause broke out in the chamber and galleries, and the clapping of hands was general and long sustained. Then, after a short pause, Mr. McPherson, Clerk of the House, summoned the new house to order, and proceeded to call the names of members by States.

The States of New Hampshire, Connecticut, Texas and California were unrepresented, the elections in those States not having yet been held. In regard to North Carolina, the Clerk stated that he had been requested by Mr. Rogers, member from the Fourth district, not to call his name, and he therefore did not do so. In regard to Mississippi, the Clerk stated that while the credentials were peculiar in form, owing to the fact the elections were held under the Military and Reconstruction acts, it appeared to him they met all the requirements of the laws, an dhe therefore accepted them all. In regard to Tennessee, the Clerk stated that the credentials differed essentially from those presented by members of the Forty-first Congress.

They were both vague and evasive, and the changes made were so marked and special as to create the belief that they were made to produce uncertainty. He had doubts as to his duty concerning them, but had finally concluded to give them, this time, the benefit of the doubt and accept them. The point which had been urged, that the elections had not been held on the day fixed by the laws of Tennessee, involved a construction of the Constitution and several laws of that State, and he had concluded not to rule on it. As to the Third Arkansas, district, the Clerk stated that the certificate presented on its face evidence that it had not been issued within the time specified by law, nor for two months thereafter. The circumstances were so suspicious that he felt compelled to reject it.

He had made these explanations because he had observed this like action on previous occasions, and when unexplained it had been misunderstood The roll having been completed, the Clerk announced that two hundred aud twenty-two members had answered to their names, the full representation being two hundred and forty-three. Mr. Blair, of Michigan, then moved that the House proceed to the election of Speaker. Agreed to. Mr.

Blair then, on behalf of the Republican members of the House, nominated Mr. Blain for Speaker, and Mr. Wood, on behalf of the Democratic members, nominated fieneral Morgan, of Ohio. The Clerk appointed as tellers Messrs. Batiks, Cook, Beck and Eldridge, and proceeded to take the vote.

The vote having been completed, the result was announced by Mr. Bank, as follows: Whole number of votes cast, 21(J; necessrrv to a choice, 110; of which Mr. Blaine received 126, and Mr. Morgan, The Clerk thereujK)n declared that Mr. Blaine, having received a majority of the votes cast, was duly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States lor the Forty-second Congress.

Mr. Blaine was conducted to the Chair by Messrs. Pollard and Morgan. Calling the House to order, he said: Gknti.emen The Speakership of the American House of Representatives has always been esteemed an enviable honor. A re-election to the position carries with it the peculiar gratification that it implies approval of past official bearing.

For this great mark of your confidence, I can but return to you my sincerest devotion to the duties which you call upon me to discharge. Chosen by the party representing the political majority in this House, the Speaker owes faithful allegiance to the principles ami policy of that party; but he will fall far below honorable requirements of his Htation if he fails to give to the minority its fullest rights under the rules which he is called upon to administer. The successful working ol our grand system of government depends in a large measure on the vigJ ilance of party organization, and the most wholesome legislation which the House produces and perfects is that which results from opposing forces, mutually eager and watchful, and well nigh balanced in numbers. The Forty! second Congress meets at a period of I general content, happiness and pros- perity throughout the land. Un-j I der the wise administration of the National Government peace reigns in all our borders, and the only misun- derstanding with any foreign government is, we may hope, at this moment in process of honorable, cordial and lasting adjustment.

We are fortunate in meeting at such a time, fortunate in representing such constituencies, and for- I tunatein legislating for such a country I I trust, gentlemen, that our official ini teroonrse may be free from personal an perity, believing that all our labors will end eventually in public good; and invoking the blessing of Him without whose aid and guidance we labor in vain, 1 am now ready to proceed with further organization of the House, and as the first step thereto, I will myself take the oath prescribed by the Constitution and laws. Mr. Dawes, senior member of the House in continuous service, administered the oath of office to the Speaker. Then the Speaker proceeded to admin- ister the oath to the members, banning with the members from the New England States, who ranged themselves in an arc circle in the area front of the Clerk's desk, and took the oath with uplifted hands. They were follow- ed by the from New York and New Jersey, then by the members from Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, acid so on.

Two members from the Southern took the modified oath. Mr. Marnard objected to. swearing in Mr. Waddeli of Alabama, as being disqualified from holding office.

Mr. Kerr objected to swearing in the Tennessee members, on the ground that the election laws of Tennessee had been repealed, and that they were elected without the sanction of law. Mr. Bingham moved that the Ten! nesaee members be sworn, and that their credentials be referred to the committee on Elections. Agreed to.

Three of them took the test oath of 1865, and live the modified oath of 1808. Mr. Kerr btated, as grounds of objection to swearing in the Mississippi members, that their credentials presented no prima fade evidence of right to Mr. Bingham moved that the Mississippi Representatives be sworn in, and their credentials referred to the 'committee on Elections. This completed the organization of the House.

Mr. Dawes offered a resolution de- claring the following persons officers of the House for the Korty-second Congress Edward McPhereon, Clerk A. J. Ordway, Sargeant-at-Arms 0. S.

Ruxton, Doorkeeper; A. S. King, Postmaster, and J. G. Butler, Chaplain, being the officers of the last House.

Mr. Wood presented as Democratic candidates for the same positions, the names of Jas. S. Bennett, D. C.

Isenberg, Pa Owen Them, Sea- tan Gales, D. and Rev. Ignatius Cooper, Del. Rejected by a party vote. Mr.

Dawes resolution was adopted, and the officers named were duly sworn into office. The delegates from the Territories, seven in number, were called and sworn in. A committee of the House was ap- pointed to join a like committee on the of the Senate, to wail upon the 'resident anil inform him that Congress was ready to proceed to business. Messrs. Hooper, Niblaek anil Scofield were appointed.

Mr. Dawes offered a concurrent resolution for an adjournment xine die on Wednesday next, the 8th of March, at 12 o'clock. The resolution wan agreed to- 14 1 to 1 1 Mr. Kelly called up the case of Waddell, of North Carolina, to whose swearing in Mr. May nan! had objected.

He moved that Mr. Waddell be sworn in. The motion was agreed to, and the modified oath administered. The House then proceeded to draw for seats. The proceeding was attended with the usual uproar and confusion, Mr.

Dawes being permitted through courtesy to select his seat before the drawing, and then, at 4 the House adjourned until Tuesday. MEW YORK. I'anlc In the Cotton Market. Xkw York, March 4. The financial article notices that the Bank of England has advanced tlie rate of discount one-half per and savs the cotton market is in a of demoralization bordering on a jtanic.

The advance in the rate of discount is a precautionary measure in the event of sudden and great withdrawals of money from the London market, where it has been deposited for safety by persons on the continent of Europe during the war. The decline in price and the tendency to a panic in the cotton market in Liverpool and New York is caused by the notification of loans to be returned speculators who are overloaded with cotton. It is stated that the Greek merchants in are carrying heavy loads of cotton, and there is no doubt that thev will be forced to sell and realize, from the action of the bank. The writer continues: The power of the Bank of England to crush gigantic speculations has been frequently illustrated in the past, and cites how the bank crushed the Greek speculation in grain not inany years ago, and the financial crisis and panic which resulted therefrom. There is no doubt the Bank of England commenced the policy of contraction in ita accomodation to all foreign firms and who are likely to weaken its reserve of coin, and the more active demand for foriegn bills of exchange in the New York market yesterday was owing to telegrams from firms in Europe to their correspondents here, for remittances to strengthen themselves against eventualities.

The decline in the price of cotton within the last twenty-four hours is equal to $000,000 loss on the entire cotton crop of the South. TE.WESNEF Hnrdrr nml Ratrnlllj. Memphis, March 4. Nat. Ward, who killed W.

II. Reeves, at Somerville, a few days since, was indicted by the grand jury for murder in the first degree. He was bailed yesterday by Judge Elippen, in $2000. Immediately afterward the Deputy U. Marshal, accompanied by a squad of the Sixteenth Infantry, demanded the prisoner on a warrant from Commissioner Morrison, on a charge of resisting the process of the United States court, and he was delivered to him and brought here this morning.

He waived an examination before the Commissioner, and gave bonds for his appearance before the Unite! Circuit Court, which meets next week. Sheriff Neater and several others, also arrested on the same charge, gave bond for their appearance. It appears that Ward had teen arrested several times on the charge of intimidating negroes at the polls, and gave bonds, which J. G. Reeves, cousin of the deceased, acting Marshal, refused to accept.

Ward had denounced Reeves for alleged persecution. which W. H. Reeves resented, and which led to his death. It is also stated that W.

H. Reeves had been summoned by J. G. Reeves, acting Marshal, to assist in arresting Ward on the old charge, and was in the discharge of i that duty when killed. HAYTL Opposition Ammrxmilmm HmjU Prepared.

Nrw York, March The Star of to-morrow will contain the following! Haytien news Goxa.it as, February 18. Information received here from Port aa Prince shows that the government of the Republic is 1 fully alive to the threatening situation of the present day, and are firmly determined to be am prepared to meet it. Knowingthe unwillingnessof the United States to sell them any arms, they recently despatched an agent to Europe to negotiate a loan of which lias proved successful. Fifty thousand Snider guns and other small arms have been bought in England and Belgium. A numberof steel guns of heavy caliber, on the Prussian system, have been bought forlorn and coast defenses.

Nearly two-thirds of the loan have thus been spent, and military instructors have been engaged and are now on their way here to drill the Haytien army in European military tactics. The meaning of these preparations are apparent, llayti thinks the annexation of San Domingo will only be the precursor of the annexation of the whole island, which they are determined to resist with all the strength and energy they possess.
