WASHINGTON, Dec ed. 1915


Both Houses of Congress having adjourned over
ill Saturday next. many of the members have left
town for trip home or for pleasure Among the
gentlemen who have gone 10 the North this evening.
are DANIEL WEBSTER, Vice. President DALLAS, 7.
BUTLER KING OF Ga. b C. WISTHRoF. and num-
Der OF the New-York Delegation Messrs. WEE
srER. King and WINTHROP will be in your city,
probably, by The time this reaches you. They will
be back here on Monday or Tuesday. Mr. KING is
Southern Whig, who deserves and will receive
the congratulations OF the " higs OF the United
States wherever he may go.


understand the Cabinet have bad long meeting
to-day What may have been the question under
consideration | know not. One thing KNOW, pret-
ty certainly that the Administration Is as;onisned TO
find itself taken at It's word The rank and tiles
do no, seem 10 understand their "iugieman. The
Polk Administration only meant to buster little
Nobody expected war less Than the Administration
Whether .hcv have plaved the game too deep, or
not l will not undertake 10 determine The Loco
Foco Party had better not commit themselves 100
rasbly fo- il nconvepent- sometimes, 10 turn cor
ners too rapidly The most dexterous piece OF
eouestrianism ever performed was the feat by which
the Leaders il this city made the New-Hampshlrs,
Massachusetts, and other Loco-Foco papers IN the
North and even the organ in this city F heel right
i
performed often without injury 10 the teams Il the
unders.rappers come out for war, the organs over
the country will command obedience and the slaves
will obey.


have no doubt myself thai the difficulties about
Oregon will be compromised on The 49ih parallel oil
North latitude. Let the lovers OF !oaves and fishes
beware They must wheel into line. Inc PoLt
Administration do not anticipate 'rar. They only
want 10 Jrqg little. II England takes the 10Th
parallel it will be granted by the LccoFoco party.


understand that Judge WOODWARD of Pennsyl-
vania, was today nominated for the vacant seat on
the bench OF the Supreme Court OF the nlted States
Judge Woodward was the Loco-toco caucus candl-
date for United States Senator, in place OF Mr..
Buchanan He was defeated by Mr.. Cameron
If Polk has nominated him, il only shows his pre-
ference for Native Amercansm The course OF
Judge w. in the Constitutional Convention showed
him an ultra Native. Ii would not be surprising TO
me if Mr.. Polk should have nominated him. Nay,
am pretty certain that he has. Nj. Buchanan was
in favor OF John NJ Read. Now for storm from
Pennsylvania.


Contrary 10 expectation, | understand that the
Committee on Elections have determined 10 report
in favor of the sitting Member from Florida. From
the fact that the Chairman of the Committee is in
favor Of giving the seat to Mr.. BRocKESBRoUGH
(Loco1 l thought that Mr. CABELL Wing would
be ousted. The Committee, l understand have
resolved, by vote OF five to four, to report IN
favor of Nj CAggLL These are three Wings
N'NNN''
Mr. CABELL VIII retain his seat, though strong
effort Will be made to influence the committee to re-
consider. or failing in thai; still more desperate
effort will be made TO bave the House vote against
the committee. Mr.. CABELL deserves his seat. He
is young man worthy of the young State which
has so calamity wheeled into the Wing ranks The
motto OF Florida applies TO those who would turn
him out contrary to the laws Of Florida and she
says 10 these Virginia gentlemen who are trying TO
deprive her of his services, " Let us alone"


| presume that a special messenger has been or
will be Immediately sent 10 Texas, with the Joint
Resolutions, signed by the President, for her admis
sion into the Union. l have heard that Major DAN
GERFlELD was to leave this evening. but this is
mistake


hear that Mr.. McNulty has been acquitted, bat
as have not attended the trial, | cannot say how
true this may be-


MoRToS McMrcRAEL, Esq. OF Philadelphia, was
admitted o-daylo practice before the Supreme Court
OF the United States.


Among the arrivala here recently, noticed that
of JOEL w. WHITE, Of Connecticut, our short-lived
Consul at Liverpool, whose career has been as evan
