The Measures Of he Ensuing Congress-Reoapifu-
latiom-Ihe H9u,c P,infng-Ch Chances for and
against Father Richie.
Some idea may be formed of the interest enter
tanedby the country at large respecting the proceed
ings of the coming Congress, from the following OF
the more important of the measures which will un-
questonabfy we think, be submitted by the Presl-
dent tor their consideration, and all Of which will
certainly be taken up, discussed, and acted uron.
to wit -
lst.-A revision of the Tariff
2d.-The resurrection of the defunct Sub Trea-
sury, something of some sort a substitute tor
the present stock-jobbing system.
3d.-The twelve months notice TO Great Britain
Tor the abrogation of the compact of 1917 and 1877
on the joint occupancy of the Oregon Territory
4th.-The ratification Of the Texas annexation,
and collaterally the Mexican boundary. and the
Mexican Indemnliles embracing the question OF IN
ternanonal negotiations upon the subject.
oth-A revision of the Postage Laws, including
an increase OF pos,sges, and an amendment OF the
laws relating TO railroad contracts.
6th-A monthly mail line overland to and from
oregon. Whether this measure is recommended
by the President or not, (and hope will, u
VIII be feather IN ihe official bonnet OF the Execu-
uve) u VIII be brought up before the Senate at
early day by Mr. Allen, Chairman on Foreign Rela-
tions. or by Mr. Niles, Of the Post Office Commit
tee, or by Col Benton.
9TH Appropriations to the Western waters on
constitutional authority, the Mississippi Missouri
and Ohio being constitutional streams, as contra
distinguished from such short creeks and bayous a.
the Hudson, Susquehannah, Potomac and Chowan-
8h The question of the establishment of the
Smithsonian Institution, the funds OF which, $780,:
900 in British gold, were wastetully squandered
in those Arkansas bonds. There is a factious oppo
sltion among some members TO the erection OF this
IN nj ri
government, and mean desire to hold on the mo-
ney, and divert to other objects than that intended
by the liberal and enlightened donor. We hope the
Executive will be frank and manly in his Temarks
upon this SUBJECT strenuously urging the redemption
OF the faith OF the nation.
9th The redemption to our citizens of the indem-
ntles arising from French spollations upon Amen--
can commerce, prior TO 1901. In the settlement Of
this question between the governments OF France
and the United States the latter In consideration OF
the services Of France In the revolution Of 6 gave
TO the former receipt in full OF all demands, and
assumed the payment OF all dues upon this score
to United States claimants, for damages incurred

sisted by the antl-arfftes of the South Ifitshoud

lith The erection of new buildings for the War
and Navy Departments, and OF wing to the Patent

and harrassing cases, public and private including
abolition petitions, John Quincy Adams, and the
slave trade.
But antecedent to all this, the two branches have
to appoint their officers And this will be dreadful |
business in the House. We have, heretofore, at
tempted to show the inexrlcable confusion Of cques
and candidates as connected with the Speakership.
The election Of printer involves the harmonizing,
of numerous hostile ee ments, aspiranis and combi
nations.
And now we are going to make out q case for
Father Richie. Will he be elected? This is an
important problem. There are arrayed on the side
of the Union, the administration and its direct ad
herents in Congress of ali the factions. For in
the second Assistant Postmaster General, and OF
Col Jacob Medary, as Postmaster at Columbus, are
expected TO have some influence with the Ohio dele
CATION in favor of the executive editor. So also OF
Shields appointment, OF Illinois, and Bill Browns,
from Indiona, and Gen. McCalla's, from Kentucky,
and McLane's from Maryland, and Gllett's from
New York SO of the cabinet appointments; SO OF
many other appointments made and to De made
They all expected to have their influence in
favor OF the executive organ Besides, the admin
istration elected under the Baltimore Conven-
tion resolutions, and he promises to act up to them

see and Mississippi will, Of course, be thar Again.

and faithful services, is expected to have some
weight in harmonisng the majority into his support.

Of them be able to supplant Father Richie in the
House Possibly; that Is, you understand, il
might be done. Who knowsl But If Father
Richie passes the two third rule in caucuss, he is
sale. Every man must come up to the mark In
open house. If no agreement is had in caucus,
(and such issue Of non-agreement is anticpa-
ted,) then Father Richie will have to swim tor his
life, for he will be in water too deep for wading-
by dexterous junction OF the wings with the anti

MUM, unless the tariff democrats should hare-up
at 20 per cent ad valorem, and unite with the
wings upon some independent candidate by way OF
retaliation for the hoax of the Kane letter. But in
this, as in other matters admitting Of doubt, We
have only to exclaim, IN the language of the vener
able editor OF the organ himself, ''nous peyrons."
