WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-The prospect
for an early adjournment OF Congress is
much more favorable tonight than at .ny
time heretofore. A f1al consultation of
Democratic leaders will be nsld to-mor-
row morning TO consider the matter def
ritelY. The understanding is that concur

Gay OF seJ ]urnment. An iptimation hss
oeen received from the Senate which
Justlhes the belief that no opposition
! from that quarter need be expected.
Inc opposition, if any, will come from a
lew members OF the House who prefer
remaining IN Washington than returning
nome and from one or two others who
zee sn opportunity &c obtain little
notcriety In this way which could
not be gained in any other man
ner. II is probable however
inst the psrty lash will be properly ap-
Piled 20 the gentleman when the proper
time arrives, ard that when vote ia
reached they will gracefully fall into line
aud abide the wish Of the majority. The
Republican members Of the Senate can be
pursusded to do almost anything 10 the
direction Of an adjournment, but
they cannot be forced to do ANYTHING.
They would be willing TO
propose a. ijurDment were It not for the
fac that sh old custom end the un written
rules CT Congress provide that the pro-
position OF an az ! urnment sine die shall
come from the AUuse. They refuse to fix

has been taken by the lower house.
