II is now apparent that there will not only be
quorum present in the House Of Representa-
tives on Monday, but that very few members
will be absent. With the exception Of the mem
bers from Virginia, not one Of whom had arrived
last..eyening, the Locofoco members are now
mostly present in the city. .,s ,t


There, is much manG uvering going on among
the -Locosin regard to- the officers Of the House.
All these matters, we suppose, however, will pc
settled eventually in caucus, that is, # the Cal
houn men can be induced to go into caucus,
which, we understand, is more than doubtful,
Should they refuse to unite with their Van Buren,
friends in this measure, the latter will probably
endeayor to get along without them the best
way they can; and If they have a majority Of
two or three votes, as they claim to have, over
all those opposed to Mr.. Van Buren, they will
have things in their own way. In that case,
from what we can gather out Of doors, MIR. Jones,
Of Virginia, will probably be elected Speaker,
and Mr.. Harris, a member Of the last Congress
from Virginia, Clerk. AS TO the offices, of Ser
geant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper, there is more
uncertainty as 70 the lndlvldualS likely 70 De sup
ported by the Van Buren party fsF as


But the Office Of Printer to- the House is one
on which more anxious eyes are turned than
upon any other. If the Van Buren men can count
on a majority of the whole number of members
elected, there can be no doubt, we suppose, OF
the election of Blair 4 Rives; but unless this is
the case the contestsfor the place, We infer from
the number and character Of, the candidates for
il, will be avery warm one. Among thegcandi-
dates are, Blair & Rives, Amos Kendall, Mr..
Bryant, Of the New York Evening Post, and, we
presume, Gales & Seaton.a The frst-mentioned
cannot certainly ask it on the ground ofnecessity
or party sacrifices, as they have, it is well known,
accumulated great wealth from the enjoyment Of
the public printing and the patronage Of the party
while in power. gc 66
