BeginuinK the session.

WAsitI.s GToN, December 6.-The|
Forty-ninth Congress will meet to-
morrow, but the Presidept's message
and the report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury will not be sent in until Tues.
day. The Senate will probably adjourn
TO- morrow as soon as Its organization IL
completed, out Of respect to the memory
of Vice President Hendricks.
II the House is able to complete its
|orgs niz alton tomorrow, which Is doubt
full, 1t will alao adjourn Immediately.
Curiosity is felt to know whether beyond
advising suspension Of silver coinage
remedy the evil. Speaker Carlisle, it Is
understood, will organize the committee
ON Coinage, Weights and Measures and
Banking and Currency with o view to
the early report of bill to suspend the
coinage. The President will advise .
revision Of the tariff, and it is said that
| he will recommend that the revision be
very conservative aud the reduction of
duties moderate.
The Democratic majority in the.
House, exclusive OF . Greenback-
Democrat and a Greenback- Republi.
can, is forty three. Notwithstanding
this superiority Of numbers, the Re.
publican minority contains the greater
humber of men of legislative experience
iai,,s ability. On the tariff and silver
Iquettions the Democratic ranks are
split in twain, while the Republicans
are practically united upon both. The
minority will exercise an efectual
Influence upon Legislation this Winter,
land In the event OF such a Democratic
Isplit rs occurred when the Morrison
Tariff bill was defeated will hold the
balance of power.
i In the Senate the Presidential Sue
loession and Electoral Count bills may
Ibe reported back from the committees
TO which they will be referred in time
for action before the end OF the week, (,
and resolution embodying the code OF
Ijoint rules which the Senate adopted
|, two years ago may possibly be also
> brought to the point of action; but
little or no other legislative work is
: expected during the week.
In the House the contest over the
rules may be precipitated by the GUS
a tomary motion to TO adopt the rules oi
the preceding Congress. In the Forty
0 eighth Congress there was some talk o.
= m odifying certain rules, and for thii
reason The rules of the Forty eighth
Congress were adopted only for limit
i ed period of time, though they wer'
: finally accepted without importan
lchange.
n! If the discussion is begun on Tuesda!
$ it will continue throughout the week,
: as until the committees are announced
the House is practically without any
h machinery for the transaction of ordi
:, jnary legislative business, and Their
j will be no other subject before tn
>. House.
