WAsHINGToN, Dec. 5. 1869.
THE OPENING OF. CONGRESS, ETC.
The arrivals of Congressman in this
city on every train, during the past
forty-eight hours, have been very large,
but On account of the previous small
number it is known that there Is at
present in the city q quorum of neither
hdiise. Enough, however, will arrive
on the morning trains to make the re-
quisite number, and both branches of
Congress will be called to order at pre-
cisely twelve o'clock tomorrow. The
presiding officer of each house is here,
and all OF the other officers and clerks.
The first business after the calling of
the roll will be the appointment of a
joint committee of each house to wait
upon the President and notify him of
the organization, and ask if he has any
message to communicate. The Presi-
dent will then dispatch his Secretary
to the capital, who will deliver the an
nual message in manuscript to the two
houses. A copy in manuscript will
then be given to the press, and tele-
graphed about half past twelve to ev-
cry city in the Union. The Presidents
message to Congress will be accompan-
led by the reports of all the bureaus
and departments of the government,
all of which, excepting Secretary Bout
wells have been printed. In the House,
IS. 5. Cox of the Sixth New York dis
trict, absent in Europe at the extra
session of Congress in March, will be
sworn in, and also George w. Brooks
of Massachusetts,, in place OF Bout
well. The vacancy in the third ILL
nois, incurred by E. B. Washburne's
resignation, will be filled by H. C.
Burchard, who will also take the oath.
VIM. II. Barnum, Fourth Connecticut
district will also be sworn in. Those
names will increase the roll of the
house to 204. e

~rHEMExfr4N COMMISSION
The Mexican claims commission is
getting its business arranged, and whl
probably begin its sessions on Monday
next-There are four hundred and
thirty claims ed already by citizens.
The United States Commissioner, MIR.
Wadsworth, is expected here daily.
The power of the Commissioner to ad-
just claims arising from alleged viola
tions OF private contracts will occupy
the earliest attention of the members.
A class of claimants who nave suffered
from the incursions of predatory In
dia . yhoply between the Uuited states
and Mexico are chagrined to learn
that their claims are inadmissable. B..
. THE NEW JUDGEsHIPs .
"
The law creating the nine new Cir
cult judgeships went into effect to-day,
and the President again had the long
list of candidates under consideration
1t Is probably the most complete digest
of applications for Office ever made.
The name of every applicant is given
and a list of names of the supporters
of each is attached thereto, together
with a carefully prepared brief of
the reasons assigned, and other matter
pertaining to the personal history of
each candidate, upon which the claim.
for appointments is based:
81 WAITING FOR THE CUE.
The members and Senators, who
are arriving by every train, do not
seem to have their minds made up on
the policy to be purs ue1 on any gues-
ton. They all seem disposed to. wait
until the Presidents Message is made
public and there is reason to believe
that theyswfn be largely controlled by
its recommendations and those
Of the heads of departments. This is
especially the case with regard to Cuba
and financial matters. Should the
message be adverse to the Cuban in
surgents, there is reason to believe it
will receive very little attention from
Congress just now. 1t is almost i'm
possible to get a Congressman to COM
init himself on either side. ~

He then put them into Moore's hands, and
the latter pawned them to Murray, the pub

death Lady Byron's banker communicated
with Murray, and offered to pay the $4,000
