Evening Paragraphs.

We have, all told, about forty members OF the
House in town. Among the arrivals this even7
ing, we have at. Coleman's, Hon. ]. r. Miller,
Ohio, Hon. Jacob Collamer, VT, Hon. Hugh
White, N. Y, Hon. D. r. Atkinson, (of the
Senate,) Mo and Hon. John Jamison, Mo. At
Browns, Hon. j. E. Brady, Pa, Hon. VIM.
Rockwell, Ind, Hon. John Petit, do, with se.
veral at the United States, Gadsby's, and other
places, where we had not time to visit.
The employees of the House are Justly interest
ed in the arrival of every member-iti is to them
the question of subsistence that is pending. Eve
ry other question, Mexico, war, peace, an
nexaton, slavery, the tariff, the sub Treasury,
the Presidency, are all ior the present submerged
Some say that Major French will yet succeed
others that he has no possible chance some
think Nathan Sargent Will be the lucky man;
some prefer Matthew ST. Clair Clarke; others
think that John. C. Clark, of New York, will, by
all means, be the nominee of the whig caucus,
because OF his doings here as Chairman OF the
document committee of the wings in the cam
paign of 1910. But with all these men the ques-
ton arises, how do they, stand on the Wilmot
provso-do they 90 for the whole of Mexico, or
for part, or for none! II for the whole or part
do they, severally or all OF them, 60 for the pro-
vso I if for no territory, do they go for indemni-
ties, and if go, in what shape
1t is said that the South Caroliniens will not
go for Mr.. French, if Glddlngs goes for him, nor
tor any man that GlddlngS does 90 Tor, even II IL
should be a son of Mr. Calhoun. But Mr.. Gid
dings will not go TO, French-he is too savage
wing proviso man for that on the other hand,
we presume that he will vote for the wing nomi-
nee for clerk, even if it should be Mr.. Calhoun
himself, whatever may be his notions of the pro-
vlso b..
One thing is pretty certain, the wings will elect
a wing. if they can. But IL is not SO certain that
they will have the force on hand to do it. The
chances are in their favor, and the closeness OF
the game, if they shall have the force, will, per-
haps, induce them to Goa escc. They fight shy,
as yet, with regard TO their man, but we gather
the idea from among hem, that John G. Clark
will be a formidable candidate TO all the rest.
but that Major French is to be superseded, at all
hazards, if possible. Mr.. Winthrop will, il is
generally admitted, be the caucus whIg nomi-
nee for speaker, and there is a general impress
sion that he will be elected. Mr.. Winthrop is a
liberal politician, for Massachusetts, and would
never agree TO blow up the Union to get rid OF
slavery.
The Fremont court martial, as you will see by
your reporters record, has adjourned over to
Thursday, to allow time to the accused TO ma
mage his plan of defence, &c. We expect that
on Thursday Com Stockton will be called TO the
stand. w.
