The House Committees will not be announced before
Monday. Speaker Coliax keeps his own counsel lie
viii give no intimaon as to their composition until

jet is mere speculation.

the practical enforcement OF the Monroe Doctrine and
hopes for better things 1t expected that the stevens
resolution will encounter opposition in the Senate

broken silence. In the House OF Representatives the
reading ives followed by feeble demonstration OF
applause The tone Of the document. as well as its
literary merit, were generally commended. The care
with which everything avoided that might have
given rise to direct conflict between Congress and
the Executive, as TO the readmisson Of the Rebel
States wcs in both Houses the subject OF favorable
comment IT was noticed with some surprise that tie
Message contained nothing about the present con-
djtjou of things in tie Southern States.
The ausion 10 monopolies which was thought to have
direct reference to NewJersey, elected some signs oil
nerrimeDt in both Houses. The announcement OF the
Foreign Policy Of the Administration seems to meet
general expectation and is but little commented upon
The tenor Of the Message TO reconstruction is not
likely 20 have much influence upon the action OF Con-
gTess.
