elect will be admitted TO their seats after the holt
DAYS. 1t will be some time after still most of the
States may be represented before the close of the
session, provided the members can subscribe to the
test oath There is probability that this will be
repealed or even modified, as regards members OF

to be the purpose of the majority to require that the

be chosen from among those citizens who were not,

The War Department issued an order this morning
to the Provost Marshal to turn to the Navy De-
partmen temporarily the Old Capitol prison for the
confinement of Raphael Semmes, of the Alabama.
The court that is intended for the trial Of Semmes
has not yet been fully appointed. 1t will meet for
the commencement of the trial the 18th Of Janu-
AIRY, 1866 and will sit in one of the rooms of the
Navy Department. Although the Old Capitol prison
has been turned over to the Navy Department for
the reception of Semmes, order has been given by
that Department for placing him there
