The Indictment in the Missouri case was rot rem
! dered today. according 70 the arrangement pre-
/ viorsv ANNOUNCED. A fna consultation was held
mis- rrcrr;np and the opinions will be read tomOr-
row. when the court will adjourn for the present
term. No doubt now exists as to the character 81
tbe decree large majority will hold that the
recent decisions OF the Snpreme Court OF Missouri
io1oriDg those Of the preceding twenty years
deternirr the case, ard that the laws Of Illinois
and the United States-the Compromise aet-are
without effect upon the status OF the slave who
claimed his liberty by their application. Judges
McIetn. Curtis and Grier will deliver dissenting
opinion maintaining, by the records Of the court and
the decisions in many Of the Southern States, that
Scott was entitled to his freedom by the operation
Of the Missouri Compromise and BY the lsw Of Hi
north Of the line. The expectation is entertained
that this decree will satisfy the country, and Mr..
Buchanan referred to it with confidence IN has IN
augural yesterday, founded upon a knowledge OF

Mr. buchanan took occasion to inform some Of
bis anxious friends that he would allow the com
missions Of all the principal incumbent- to expire,
and would not respp0int them unless peculiar
reasons were presented for making exceptions.
present purpose, however, furnishes no guarantee
for future action. The rule may be observed for
the time being in New-York and other cities, where
many Of tie most important commissions expire

where commissions have year % more to run the
incumbents are satisfied to take their chances OF
change Of sentiment at headquarters. il II stated,
too, that an Old Line Wing will be offered Mis-
zion of the first grade, and Mr.. Preston kIug has
been named in this connection. The remnants OF
that party are TO be nppOi.ioncd among the subordi-
late places ut home.
The length of the Extra Session OF the Senate
will depend entirely upon circumstances. IL Dir.
Buchanan should determine TO submit the Mexican
treaty, with suggestions Of modification, 1t VIII
oten up large field of discussion and may occupy
several weeks. The Dallas treaty must be disposed
OF in some form, and the President will now be- con-
strained TO show his hand on that subject. When
Gen. Cass receded from bis opposition at the late
session he had not been offered the Department OF
State; but he may have been hopeful OF such "A
probability, and therefore put himself m position 70
conform TO q necessity-a conflict with his preyi-
Ously evnwed convictions.
The Senate consumed the day in discussing

Toucey aud Mr. Geyer have retired, who were
members of The Judiciary, much interest is felt IN
knowing how their vacancies are to be hlled
When the Republicans were excluded from all the
important Committees before it was pretended
that no such political organization was known 70

third of The body occupying seats, this convenient
ignorance cannot be pleaded now INDEX.
