MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES
LATEST FROM ALL QUARTERS

New York, December 1.-The Repub-
lican members of Congress, so far as their
views have been ascertained, are almost
unanimously in favor of law requiring
the fortieth Congress to meet on the 9th
of March next, with view to continuing
the session until the regular day of as
sembling next December. At the caucus
last night this proposition was discussed
among others, and met with a general
acceptance. There is little doubt such
law will be passed to continue the session
until the regular day Of assembling next
December.
The present impression is that the
Presidents message will not be delivered
to Congress tomorrow, owing to adjourn,
ment for the purpose of responding to
the Radical mass welcome.
