The Excitement is still kept up con-
corning the Congressional election
in the Fourth District. Secretary Of
Statc, Beck. is holding back tho cum
yass of the Congressional vote,
though returns from Marin County
hive been received. Tho delay how
ever, is probably to give time for tho
District Court at Monterey to decide
as to whether the Clerk in San Lo.
renzo precinct has right to correct
On erroneous footing OF returns after
they had been certified to by tho
Supervisors, as on TINT question de-
ponds the majority for either Pacheco

NEW YoHK, Dec. 1.
A Time; Washington special says it is
doubtful il q quorum Of tho House is
here Monday. AS soon MS the Speaker
is elected it is expected tho storm will
break forth, and an Immediate shower
of resolutions, protests, propositions,
and declarations relative to tho political
situation will be raised on the tablc. II
is generally expected that great excite
ment will mark this session frem tho
very beginning. On the other hand,
there is n suggestion that Mr.. Tilden
will hold his people unler restraint by
making known his wishes through
chosen channels. Hester Clymer an
nounces himself candidate for Speaker
though Randall says this does not affect
his chances.
