which took place on Monday last, marks
the recurrence OF the harvest time of the
permanent citizens Of Washington who in
innuner able ways benefit by the increase
of the temporary residents brought here
during the sessions of Congress, and the
city therefore at the present time presents
quite lively spectacle, the streets and all
public places being crowded with visitors
seekers, hoping that members will be able
to squeeze them INTO some one of the De-
partments or get them position under til e
new officers in the House.
The opening scenes on Monday last were
ATTENDED with the usual excitement and
bustle, not only the galleries being crowded
several honrs before the opening, but, even.
The floors Of The House being well filed by
friends OF members who by special permits

The election Of officers, drawing for seats
and other incidents to the opening created
much noise and confusion, while in the
Senate everything was serene and quiet, and
business promptly attended to.
The number of members has been, as you
are aware, materially increased, but the
space outside the seats remain about the
same, while the desks of the members and
the aisles have been made smaller Among
