The usual crowd focked TO the CAPT |
tai to day in order to witness the open
ing of Congress, and the gallaries were
tar . time we'll flied. The number OF
members in attendance in the House OF

small. bur smUag the number were the
leaders OF the House. Messrs. Blaine.

Butler. Kerr. Beck. Brooks, Wood ami
Randall. Prior to the hour of Il. the
members were busy exchanging greet
ings with each other and their frlends
gu the floor. The Democrats rallied
each other good humoredly over their
recent defeat. aud though the Repub
leans and Democrats who had been
left out looked somew hat sombre, there
seemed to be quite al era OF good feei-
ing all around. which was not disturbed
F.. by any Of the subsequent proceedings
After the formal programme, there
seemed very IittIs b@-ins-s- The Re-

appropriation bills appeared to be the
principal card for the session. The
Democrats were disposed 70 take mat
ters quietly, Their policy, as one Of
them stated, being to watch aud wait.
The absence OF party excitement aud
of we'll defined issues gave an aspect
of dullness to the events of the day,
though several were Of Importance.

pD" Concerning Dan Voorhees,, the Lou.
isville Courier-Journal says: The truth is
that the effort to establish a separate ma.
tionality, which cost the Southern people
so dear, would never have been made but
for the loud-spokcn, wordy politicians like
Voorhees,, who, however, when ",he time
that tried mems souls" arrived, went back
on their promises. 1t cannot be expected
that any thing he has done in the past will
now reconcile Southern Democrats to Mr..
Voorhees, advocacy of course that would
inevitably lead to the reelection of Prcsi-
dent Grant.
