service to perform the duties of
County Judge according to the best
of my ability,

Lancaster. March 9, 1869.
<e**The Foity-first Congress con»
vened on the afternoon of the 3d inst.
and was called to order by Mr. Mc-
Pherson, the Clerk, who, in calling
the roll, omitted the names of the
representatives of Georgia and Lou
isiana. Mr. Brooks, of New York,
raised a point of order, which was
overruled, and he then appealed
from the decision of the Clerk, which
the latter refused to entertain. A
disgraceful scene then ensued, on the
Democratic side of the House, at the
conclusion of which Hon. J. G.
Blame, of Maine, was elected Speak
er. When the members were being
sworn in. objection was made to
Hammill,-of Maryland ; Winchester
and Rice, of Kentucky ; Van Horn
and Dyer, of Missouri, and Rogers.
The objection to the last named was
overruled by the House, and he ac
cordingly took his oath of office.
The Defunct.—Ex-President
Johnson is staying with Jonny Coyle,
of the Intelligencer, where he will re
main a guest until he takes his de
parture for Tennessee. He moved
his trunks and carpet-bags at the
hour of ten on inauguration day, and
sadly made his way from the scenes
of his triumphs, defeats and intrigues.
