WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The galleries Of
the House were filled to-day with specta-
tors, anxious to hear the report on IN
parchment. During the session about
half Of the Senate were present.
1t had become so we'll known that the
majority report would recommend i'm
parchment that a few were surprised when
| their surmises were confirmed, but none
| probably expected the postponement of the
discussion until the December session.
The impeachers claim that delay will
| strengthen their forces, whilst the oppo-
| nents of the measure argue that the Jon
ger the final decision is put off the more
| certain will be the defeat of the project.
| Each party con fidently assert their certain
| success, but there is scarcely doubt that
the party opposed to parchment has al
ready very decided majority in the
House.
The impression Of members to- night is
that Congress will continue in session
until Wednesday; then adjourn to the
December session finally. Some, however,
favor adjournment only for Thanksgiving
day, and the resumption Of business on the
Friday following.
1t is not expected that any important
legislation will be mpted this week, as
the remaining time of the session is 30
short that it is scarcely possible to pass
any bills which admit of discussion: but
it is barely probable that a bill to repeal
the cotton tax may be taken up and passed,
as it is believed the members are almost
unanimo Gus in its favor. Some few, how
ever, threaten strong opposition, which,
If persisted in, may induce the advocates
Of the measure to abandon it until next
week.
The financial bills introduced to-day are
but feelers of the opposition members-not
being introduced with any expectation at
present that they will pass.
The Democrats of the House propose to
hold a caucus on Wednesday night. The
Republicans also propose to hold a caucus,
but the time is not named. CITo.'
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The impeachers
expect to make their strong point against
the presidest from circumstances con-
nected with the transfer of rolling stock

Baron Won Haven, Belgian secretary of
legation, was recently married to Prot
estant lady by dispensation from Arch
Bishop Spalding.
The ceremony was afterwards reformed
under Protestant forms by order of the
archbishop. Regret was publicly ex-
pressed, but it should pass into a prece-
dent, aud the announcement was made
that according to the church laws any of
the faithful who presume to get married
outside of the church, by the very act incur
communication.
