CoNGREss.-This body assemblies at
Washington, on Monday next, 10 fin.
ish large amount of work on hand.
The Radicals are so badly demoral-
lied over the late election, many of
them defeated, that they will be very
peevish and quarrelsomc for several
weeks, and then Christmas and New
Years will be on them, and finally
there will be no work done before the
middle of January. Hence it is very
evident that but little will be done for
the people, as it must adjourn on the
4th of March next. The land grabs,
railroad jobs, and other personal
schemes ofplunder which the robber
ring has on hand will receive the first
attention at the hands of the mem
bers, and after that the interests of
the country and the tax payers will
receive some attention if any time is
left for such small matters.

be drawn from the Republican ranks

TUE ARMY OF OUTLAWS AS the
day approached for the annual as
sembing of the Pennsylvania Legisla.
ture the apprehensions Of the people
are naturally excited. Those who
profess TO know what will happen are
predicting all kinds OF horrible things.
The Philadelphia Post a Republican
paper says:
"Therc are grand schemes on foot

for a winter campaign. We have

bound, and the ground is covered with
snow for months, the starving bears,
wolves, jackals and foxes boldly enter
the streets of towns, and brave death
to get little food. Thus it is with
those Ouicasts and Outlaws Of the
Republican party. Hunger has made
them desperate, and they will fight
like wild beasts for the spoils. Phla
delphia is the camp Of organization,
from whence Flying Army OF Brig
ands will march on Harrisburg as
soon as the Legislature meets. IL will
contain a regiment of Bullies, a bri.

Of every imaginable kind. Their

and ns they have no provisions, they
expect TO live on the enemy"
That is forcible picture Of what
may be seen at Harrisburg when the
day for the assembling of the Legis-
laturo arrives. II viii bo terrible to
witness, but we shall try to get n
glimpse Of these representatives of
the Radical party, and shall not fail
to describe their ferocious scramble
over tho spoils.

Austria The young man IS twenty
FIVE years of age, aud is said to be
quite handsome But the high blood
ed danes Of Spain will be disgusted to
learn that tho youth is married, his
wife being a daughter Of an Italian
prince named Cisterna. Though his
achievements in war are not known
in history, he is Il general in the army
which belongs TO his father, and that
is all that is to be said of the young
man who has Just been picked up aud
set on throne as it it was ready made
for him. lie has taken 10 part in
public affairs, being altogether too
young for that, but he is not too youth
ful to rule over nation. His blue
blood and his good looks, probably,
recommended him TO the Spaniards.
This is the miserable finale of the
revolution that drove fat Isabella from
Madrid. No ore, plebcian or patri-
clan, could be found to reduce the
chaotic political elements in Spain to
order, and it has been necessary to
