WASHINGTON, Nov 27.-Ac,ive preparations
are 10 progress for the assembling of Congress
On Monday next. The chambers o! the Senate
anl House are yearly ready and the commit.
tee rooms hayc been put in order. Members
are arriving, and by Thursday it is expected
there sill be majority present. Among the
members OF the House already here are Messrs.
Sayler, Randall and Cox, candidates for the
SpcakershIp.
The friends CT Dir. Randall claim that be
will be elected, while MIR. Sayer's supporters
are coDflclt Of his retaining the position be
held at the cosa 0! the last session. Mr. Cox
may be chosen rs q compromise man.
1t is expected that there will be caucus Of
the democratic members of the House The lat
ter part Of this week fer consultation upon the
situai,D, which is daily growing more critical,
and unless The w.sc=t counsels prevail the worst
apprehcnsons may be realized. Should the
elecioa Of President be thrnwn into the House
the democrats will have majority by States
at this session, aad would, of course, choose
Mr.. Illdcn.
The determination OF the President to "back
up" Chamberlain in South Carolina indicates
the POLICY the administration intends to pursue
10 Florida and louisiana and such being the
case, the vote. Of those States may be counted
for lIayog. The utteranoes of Mr.. Elmunds,

to what vas expected Of him, sre also looked up.

Scualo will stand by the radical party, and
that tie ious; will have to take the Initiative
ia vinGicatiuS the rights Of the people. The
South vii! remain passive, ard it will deVolVe
upon The Northern and Western democrats to
make the move. Mr.. Abram s. Hewitt, of
