p WASHINGTON, November 2s.-A few addi-
tional members of Congress arrived to-day,
including Senator Trumbull of Illinois. No
delay in the organization of the House is
anticipated. Instead of an extraordinary
and turbulent time, as predicted, the pres
ent indications are in the opposite direction
1t is considered that there is nothing in the
political aspects which cannot be reeoneiled
both to the satisfaction of the President and
Congress. The prospect is that the House
will organize on Monday, and the Presi-
dents message and the accompanying re-
ports Of the heads OF departments will be
Communicated on that day. Mr.. Colfax for
Speaker and Mcpherson for Clerk seem to
have the field to themselves.
So far as can be ascertained it is believed
that no members elect from the late insur-
reetionary States, with the exception, per-
haps. of those from Tennessee, will be per
mitted to take part in the organization of
the House.

United States abolishing slavery. He relies
on you to exercise all your functions as here
tOfore, with the same wisdom and the same

entirely assured that your efforts to sustain
the administration of the Government and
give effect to its policy are fully appreciated
and that they will in no case be forgotten
