aud swearing In the members After tho usual
messages had been sent to the Senate and to
tho President containing the notification
that the House was ready to do business.
and tho usual resolutions with regard
to the hour Of meeting. &C.. had been
adopted. the grand lottery for the
possession Of soats took place. and the House

the committees. and tho pleasant task Of
arranging them may keep him at work fora
week or two. In tho mean time the House viii
adjourn from day to day to give him oppor-
tunity to complete his task.
The scenes in the House throughout the
afternoon were lively. interesting. and occn-
slonally amusing. Tho desire to see the new

marble stairs and through the narrow doors OF

Of their iniportunate friends by giving them
tickets of admission. but these were absolutely

served for his wife and family. and they wcre

gallery reserved for the diplomatic corps was.
as usual empty. All tho other galleries were
packed.

floor. chatting with the members and getting
ready to unfold to them numerous schemes Of
legislation that will be pushed forward. AZ
