CONGRESS-.

The twenty-sixth Congress commences its
first session on Monday next Many of the
members have already arrived at Washington
and il !, expected that there will be few or none
absent on the first day Of ibe session. A great.
er interest than usual is felt in the opening ol
the House, and its organization. Parties being
nearly balanced, the result of the election ol
Speaker is considered doubtful. Mr.. Pickens
Of South Carolina. will, it is presumed, be the
Democratic candidate for that office, and il is
generally thought tha, he will be elected; but
much depends upon the disposition made in re-
laton TO the contested seats. Mr.. Bell Of Ten
pessess, is the fivorite candidate Of tho Wings,
but Mr.. Dawson, Of Georgia. has been nomina-
ted as Il more auaiiabie candidate, in expecta-
tion that h- will receive the votes OF an the del
egation from tha, state, which are otherwise
considered doubtful.
The House of Representatives consists OF
PAP members. and il all the members elected
are present, will be complete with the cxcep-
lion Of one member from Massac chuseus. The
Seats Of eight members will be contested, Of
whom six are whigs-fye from New Jersey. one
from Virginia. one from Pennsy yvania, and one
from Illinois. II these members are allowed to
vote in the election Of Speaker, the House will
stand, Democrats 10. Wings %, provided the
Georgia members all vote for the Wing, and
the Mississippi fer the Democratic candidate.
Bnt "nh the same proviso. if the votes Of all
contested seats are thrown out, the Democratic
majority will be one

A private letter says. that 10 the event Of the
commissioner seeking hostile measures with re-
gard to Macao, British residents iberewi!lfind
II necessary to seek shelter on board ship. as
the Portuguese do not possess tho power 10
protect them. Sales Of the drug are reported
at $50 TO $50 per chest. and the trade still go
ing along the coast. There were about go
sail OF shipping detained outside already, indie
pendent OF the numbers that had still TO arrive.
Accounts from Canton TO the oath Of June
had reached Macao. that the commissioner had
directed the American ships that mad gone to
Whampoa to be secured which it appears from
other and somewhat earlier accounts. the hong
merchants had refused tn, on the ground OF
their having British property on board.
There was only one British merchant at Can
ton at the date Of the last accounts received at
Macao from that quarter. The destruction OF
the surrendered opium is said to be going on at
the rate Of 5000 chests a day foreigners had
been invited TO witness the process.

NEW YORK ELEcrIoN.-The Albany Ar
gus gives Table Of the official returns made 10
the Secretary Of State Of the votes cast at the
late election. from which it appears that the
democratic gain in that State in the year which
closed with the last election is greater than it
was the year before. At the election Of 1893,
the gain Of the democratic party was little less
than five thousand. Now it is little less than
seren thousand.
The Argus says. " In addition TO the great
emecratc gain in the aggregate popular vote
since 81 and '36, i, will be seen that the demo-
era's have succeeded by large majority in the
New York congressional district, returning four
members, which they lost last year, and have
carried the Cayuga district, sending one Nom.
bcr, which they also lost last year-while they
have carried all the districts in which they sue.

tricis is therefore equivalent to four members

Another year has rolled a.

sary season OF Thanksgiving and Praise. There
are many interesting associations clustering
around this institution, which impart to it pc

The day, which should inspire respect. The
2sth of November is observed this year IN y.

New England States except Vermont. On this
day, the people OF these States are invited by
their rulers. To assemble for the purpose Of re-
turning their grateful acknowledgements to the
Giyer of all Good for his many merces granted
them during the year. We rejoice that this
practice Of New England origin, is extending
itself TO States Of recent date-and We sntici-
pate the time when the people Of all the States
in our beloved Union, shall unite in this inter-
esting festival.
Families and kindred are now gathering TO

Some will find their circle smaller, than il was

THE GEORGIA DELEGATION IN CoNeREss.-
Do the Federal editors, who so universally put
down the entire delegation from this State a.
anti-democratc, know that il was loudly pro-
claimed. pending the late canvass there. that
the whole nine members woud be governed by
their course in Congress by the result Of that
election Perhaps the 1900 Democratic ma
jority was not anticipated then. A remembrance
of these professions now would play sad havoc
with Wing chance for Speaker, that is GER
tain. For ourselves we have no fears Of tho
delegation from Georgia. Six Of her nine mem
bers we're elected as open supporters Of the
constitutional Treasury, and we have no doubt
that the whole Of them will carry out the wish
es Of their constituents. so clearly expressed in
the late gubernstional contest, by temperate,
though firm support Of the men and measures
OF the administration.-Phil. Spir. Of the Iimes-

That flows lhro' Beings varied ranks,
Thy num'rpuS mercies be our theme,
For each this day we render thanks.
Our fathers God would we adore,
Humbly, like them. when first they stood,
Strangers on Plymouth's rocky shore,
Sustained by grace and gratitude.
They taught their sons the goodly way,
To render thanks with hearts sincere,
For private mercies day by day,
And public blessings year by year.
For Freemen's rights and civil laws,
And government Of peoples choice,
For means to guard righteous cause.
We would be thankful and rejoice.
For earth's abundant yield Of fruits
For nations rights preserved abroad.
And prosp'rous smiles on mans pursuits.
Thanksgiving to Almighty God.
For life and friends, for health and peace,
For schools, of which New England boasts
And more than ALL for Gospel grace,
Thanksgiving TO the Lord Of Hosts
And now, o God, vouehsafe to bless
Our own, and these United States,
With plenty, peace, and righteousness,
And mda where nature ,odnt creates.

This earth may ring from shore 10 shore,
With echoes Of glorious name.
But he, whose loss our tears depiore,
Has left behind him more than fame.
For when the death frost came to lie
Upon that warm and mighty heart,
And quench that bcld and friendly eye,
His spirit could no; all depart.
The words of fire that from his pen
Were flung upon the lucid page,
Still move, still shake the hearts of men,
Amid a cold and coward age.
His love oftruth, too warm, too strong,
For hope or fear to chain or chill,
His hate CT Tyranny and wrong,
Burn in the breasts he kindied still.

an unshakcn and unalierable integrity that ould
neither excuse wrong in brother nor remain
blind 10 the virtue OF an enemy, il seems that
his very purity of soul and sing gleness Of purpose
the pursuit of truth and the dislike of false

world, and denied him its empty regrets and
