affairs in Washington,

The opening Of Congress, and the Courts has
attracted nn unusually large number of per.
sons TO Washington City. The Hotels are
already well filled, with visitors from all parts
OF the Union; pleasure seekers, place hunting
politicians, and persons Interested in the Lcgis
ton Of Congress.
Among other subjects Of interest, two very
important measures will come before the pres
cnt Congress The Tariff and the Pacific
Railroad. The latter is however too grand a
project, and is vet in too great state of imma-
turity, to be despatched during the present
short scssion.
Whilst however, Il large amount of lcgti-
mate business is pending, the wheels of Lcgs
lati"n have been delayed for Il week by the
fncti"us opposition ofthe Republicans, whorefus
cd to permit Gen. Whitfield to take his seat under
Gov Gcarv'S Certificate of election under the
prcteXt that the territorial law under whirl, he
was elected is invalid. Their object VII, to
obtain n final decision Of the question, before
the arrival of nbscnt,cs, hence they oLstnntely
refused 4 postponcmcnt to the vote of full
house. In all of this, about thirty of the fol.
lowers Of MI. Grow, the Republican leader
have voted, it seems in opposition to the tcclar-
cd Will of their constituents rs expressed in the
recent clcctions.-Thcir efforts however here
been unsuccessful and Gen. Whitfield has
