The Adjournment.
1t is generally believed here that the House
will not adjourn for some weeks, or until the
impeachment question is disposed OF. There

before Congress.

Speaker Colfax said to. day that he would
announce most of the Committees of the new
House on Monday next, so that there will be
no further delay in the work of Congress.
The Military Bill.
The President seems to be i'm no hurry TO exe-
cute the Military Reconstruction act. He has
have the Southern people begin action under it
before he appoints the military commanders.
General Grant opposes this and wants the on
GERS assigned at ouce, % get the scheme
under pay as soon AS practicable.
Office Hunters.
The President has been besieged again to-day
with place hunters. He will send about six
hundred nominations to the Senate next week.
