After eIecting fhe Republican nominees, Mr. Jos.
Marston, of New Hampshire, and Mr. Josiah Lucas.
Of Illinois, to the respective Offices Of doorkeeper
ana postmaster, the House took recess for two
days.
The Republican party III the House has now
completed its elections with the exception Of that
Of Printer 1t Il stated, indeed that the quarrel
over the printing spois has excited considerable
dissepsions among the Black Republican members,
which are expected, however, to result IN favor OF
| Western influence. The old corrupt scheme Of
gising out the printing, as 70 subsidze pauper
| party papers, will probably be the best eompro-
mise that The party can make Of the matter.

The most active exertiens will be made at this
session, ii both Houses Of Congress, to secure the
passage of Pacific railroad bill, providing for
| Northern and Southern routes. The near approach
of ths Presidential campaign, the present anxiety
Ut all parties to share in the political capital Of
Pacific railroad. and Mr. Buchanan's eagerness to
signalize Ills own Administration BY the initiation
Of this great project conspire to render the pass
age, al this session, Of reasonable and well con
siiered BILL for the construction Of two roads at
least, extremely probable. Notices have already
been given of the bills in the Honse. Mr.. Gwin's
Senate bill is considered impracticable; it allows
twelve years for the completion of the work. The
present policy is to have the leading men in both
branches Of Congress agree upon bill. which will
then be speedily introduced, and, no doubt, readily
passed.
II appears that we are to have d little more Of
the Kansas snarl at this session. While its admis-
sion as State will not be resisted under the tech
nicalties Of the English b the project for enlarg
ing its boundaries 50 as to include Pixies Peak and
that portion Of Nebraska South Of the Platte river
4 Is likely to provoke considerable discussion. A
\ number III leading men are here from Kansas to
confer upon the measure of its admission into the
Union. The Republicans will press the acceptance
| Of the Wyandot Constitution, without any atera-
ton.
| Colonel Forney will make number of Demo-
cratic appointments in his Office He has already
made some from employees ii the Executive De-
partments, who had been enjoying fat places there
al devoted friends Of the Administration! The
election of Forney is thorn in Mr. Buchanan's
side; but the President can scarcely have the
conntenance to read him out Of the party in face
Of the fact that the Government has been main.
tanning here under its very nose, men from whom
not only Forney, but the straight Black Repuhli-
cans themselves have made nominations to office. 4
The House Doorkeeper was q Government clerk
under the present Administration, and never lost
his Office there account Of any objection to his
politics. As with the petty ofiee-holders so with
the larger they are all ready to desert to any
cause or to any man that will reward them. The
President should, anyhow, have q more vgilant
watch set over The distribution Of the petty spos
of the Departments and see that the crumbs even
from lis table do not go to the heathen.
Il is said that the Republicans expect to make |
some grand electioneering Jobs ont of inyestiga-
tions into the acts of the present Administration,
and its alleged completely IN schemes Of public
plunder There will probably be a number Of |
special committees raised in the House to carry |
ont these views.
0fice-seeking is now the busy employment Of |
the crowd self denying patriots from all quarters
having collected here to sacrifice themselves on the
altar Of the public good. Strange to say, all par
ties are represented in This I. wild hunt after Of
iiee X and even seifstled Democrats may be
found sneaking through the lobbies begging the |
stinted wages Of menial stations at the hands Of
Republican Congress. Mr.. Buchanan has enjoined
the Secretaries not to make any appointments at
present in their Departments, as he is determined
to provide for every man whom Forney turns out.
