mittees, and the House will adjourn over till
Monday, when the work will begin in earnest
A large majority of the members incline to
hard WORK and short session.
Congress will adjourn by the first or the
middle of June, notwithstanding the vast
amount of business to be done through April
and May. When Congress is not in session
evening sessions will be held, and as much hus>
mess transacted in 80 days as is usually done
in mid-winter in three months.
The Republican caucus this afternoon nom>
mated Jehn D. DeFrees, of Indianapolis, edi-
tor of the indianapolis Journal, for House
Printer, his majority being one over Mitchell,

to be independent of any business combination
with him.

Immediately established in Washington under

gressional Executive Committee, on the part of

pose to the French Government the re-
moval of its discriminating duties both on
tonnage and on articles, the gross produce or
manufactures of the one country when arri-
wing on vessels belonging to the other, which
restrictions seriously affect the American
commerce. The object is to obtain such
principles of reciprocity as the Government
has secured with other nations, France being
the only exception.

Is HEENAN MARRIED!-A letter to Wilkes
Spirit of the Times from Adah Isaacs Menken, in
which she claims to be the lawful wife of John C.
Heenan, has been extensively copied and commen-
ted upon. In that she claims to be proud and hap.
py to be thewife of the bravesi man in the world"
and hopes ito be worthy of the brave and noble
man whose name she bears"
In the Cincinnati Commercial of yesterday ap-
pears a letter from A. 1. Menken OF that city, in
which he claims that that woman is not Heenan's
wife and cannot be, unless it is lawfulfor a woman
closes as follows;
Aud now, my dear sir, let me briefly state the
facts in this case as they really exist:
On the Sd day of April, 1856, in the town Of
Livingston, in the county of Polk, and State of
Texas, had the misfortune TO be married, by
Justice OF the Peace, to this adventures: since
which time have never been divorced from her;
on the contrary have lived with her up 20 last Ju-
ly. l go into these particulars merely and solely
for the purpose of setting myself right in the social
circle in which have introduced this person as my
wife. think this is due to them, in order thatmy
position in regard to her may not be miscC nstru-
ed.
1 would say in this connection, that have inst-
tuted proceedings in the proper courts which will
rid me Of this incubus and disgrace, and that this
public expose Of private matters has not been
sought by me-that have borne disgrace for this
woman, through the medium Ct the press and 9th.
eIWise, "till fOrbearance has ceased 10 be virtue"
Even now ] would not notice her, but her SUPER
lative impudence and brszenness, as eVinced by
her late letter to you, in attempting to impose up
on you and through you on the public, in the most
conspicuous way possible, renders her unworthy
Of my further charitable silence. In conclusion,
permit me to say that l do not regret the phase
matters have takeu,a far regards the separation
of this person with myself, but must remark that
as long as she is married to John c. Heenan, l
would much prefer she Wonld make use of his
name and discontinue mine, as think, from recent
Developments, would be more hOnOred in the
breach than in the observance"
Very respectfully,
