TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER =.
THE APPROACHING SESSION OF CONGRESS.
The second session Of the Thirty. Fourth Congress
commeaces next Monday. The event ;s anticipate d
with little interest as everybody is persuaded that
the session will be barren Of any important result.
The discussion of the affairs OF Kansas will be re.
sumcd, but with something less oi acrimony than
characterz- the debate before the Presidential eec
tion No object s nov to he pshed by inharins
the popular mind Of the North, aud We may cont
dently expect a marked moderation Of tone in the
utterances Of the Black Republican party. The dul!
m pmuiouy Gi decent session will not even be emil.
vened By tie vulgar vituperation Of Sumner or the
smart gascOnade of Buringame. These famous lndi-
viduuls have both apoOgiscd for their intended alb
sence from Congress, OIL the msy pretense of infrm
health. The truth is that sa!u;ary fear of Brooks
keeps Them away from Washington.
The Message Of the President, and lie Reports Of
the Secretaries may prrse-: .un;scts OF legislation
and pretexts Of debate ui which now have e1-
pec;ation. Iho.c oianiscien individuals. the wash

IL is not improbable that the condition Of things in
Utah will engage the attention Of Congress d4.ing
