Washington, Oct. 10. The House of Representatives began action to-day on the swearing of members who yesterday were objected to. Bainey and Cain, colored Republicans of South Carolina, were sworn in. The credentials forwarded to J.

H. Acklen, of Louisiana, arrived too iate. When the Louisiana case was reached Gen. Gibson, on behalf of Mr. Acklen, offered a resolution declaring that Mr.

Darrall be sworn, and that the credentials of both gentlemen be referred to the Committee on Elections, to report forthwith, which was carried. The cases of Messrs. Elam and Robertson, of Louisiana, are to be acted on to-morrow. The Democrats, to-day, were very liberal, and it ia hoped that they will do justice to their own men to-morrow. Members and Senators are wholly in doubt respecting the duration of the extra session.

The President's message is deemed judicious. The chances are that the army bill will paw, fixing the number at twenty-five thousand men, and having in it no special restrictions on the Executive-The other deficiencies and the other recommendations of the message may be delayed for a fuller consideration The navy deficiencies will be probed, and Secretary Robeson's proceedings overhauled. Democratic members all thint-Belknap was a saint compared to Bobe-eon. The struggle over the nominations between the two wings of the Republican party in the Senate will be fierce and protracted. I count aa hostile to the President Senators Blaine, Allison, Spencer, Conkling, Jones, Sargent and other Republicans.

There is a great deal of distrust in respect to Speaker Randall giving the Democratic party away on the tariff and resumption issues. There is a great deal of opposition from the West to Fernando Wood for the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee. Atkins, of Tennessee, will be chairman of the Appropriation Committee; Banning, of Ohio, chairman of Military Affairs, and Gen. Throckmorton probably of the Committee on the Pacific Bail-read. Mr.

Goode has been Bounded as to the chairmanship of an important commit tee, but promptly eiitiwT it. Harlan's appointment as Supreme Court Judge ia universally conceded. Hon. Wayne McVeigh, oi Pennsyl vania, is expected to get the Fngiuh mission. The story that Mr.

Blackburn, of Kentucky, had expressed, a public speech, a wish for Senator Morton's death, is wholly false, and the statement of the New York Tribune that Mr. Hill, of Georgia, had reflected on Mr. Blackburn in this connection, is a falsification. Senators Dennis, of Maryland, and Gordon, of Georgia, are now conceded to have excellent prospect of re-election. They are two of the best men in the Senate.

No action was had to-day in Cabinet on the foreign appointments. L. Q. w. The State-House, i I 1 APPOINTMENTS.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Washington, Oct PeUow-Cltisena of the Senate and Moose ot Representatives: The adjournment oi the last Congress without making appropriations for the Bupport of the army for the present fiscal sear, has rendered neoemaxy a anspen-tsion of payments to the omoers and men of the sums due them for services rendered after the 30th day oi June last. The army exists by virtue oi statutes which prescribe its numbers, regulate its organization and employment, and which nx the pay of its omoers aad and declare their right to receive the same at stated periods. These statute.

I. however, do not authorize the payment ox re ope. in ane -absence or speoins appropriations therefore the constitution has wisely provided that no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law and it has also been declared, by statute that no department of the Government shall expend, in any one fiscal year, a sum in excess of the appropriations made by Congress for that year." We have, therefore, an army in service, authorized by law, and entitled to be paid, but no funds available for that purpose. It may also be said, as au additional incentive to prompt action by Con-glees, that since the commencement of tbe fiecal year, the army, though without pay, has been constantly and actively employed in arduous and dangerous services, in the performance of wtuoh both officers and men 'have discharged their oaty with fidelity and courage, and without complaint. These circumstances, in my judgment, constitute an extraordinary occasion, requiring that Congress be convened in advance of the time prescribed by Law for your -meeting in regular session.

The importance of speedy action upon this subject on the part oi Congress is so manifest that I venture to suggest the propriety of making Lhe necessary appropriations for the support of the army for tbe current year, at its present maximum numerical strength of 15,000 men, leaving for the future the consideration of all questions relative to an increase or decrease of the number of enlisted men. In the event of a reduction of the army by subsequent legislation during the fiscal year, the excess of the appropriation could not be expended, and in the event of its enlargement, the additional sum required for the payment of the extra force could be provided in due time. It would be unjust to ths troops now in service, and whose-pay is already largely arrears, if payment to them should be further postponed until after Congress shall have considered all the questions likely to arise in the effort to fix the proper limit to the strength oi the army. Estimates of appropriations for the support oi the military establishment lor the fiscal year ending Jane 30, 1878. were transmitted to Coo gross by the former Secretary oi the Treasury at the opening of its session in December last.

These estimates, modified by the present Secretary so as to conform to present requirements, are now renewed, amounting to $32,426,764 9S, and having been transmitted to both Houses of Congress, are submitted for your considerat ion There is also required by the Navy Department This sum is made up of IS due to the officers and enlisted men for the bast quarter of the last fiscal year $311,953 50 due for advances made by the Fiscal Agent of the Government, in London, for tne support of the foreign service. $50,000 due to the naval hospital fund, $150,000 due for arrearages of pay to officers, and $45,219 58 for the support of the marine corps. There will also be- needed an appropriation of 23 to defray the unsettled expenses of the United States courts for the fiscal year ending June SO Isst, now due to attorneys, clerks, commissioners and marshals, and for rent of court the support of prisoners and other deficiencies. A part of the building of the Interior Denartment was destroyed bv fire on the 24th of last month. Some imtnedist) repairs and temporary structures have in consequence become necessary, estimates for which will be transmitted -to Congress immediately, and an appropri.

ationoz tne requisite zunds is respectfully recommended. Tne Secretary of the Treasury will communicate to Congress in connection with the estimates for the appropriations for the support of the army for the current fiscal year, estimates for such other deficiencies in the different branches of thepubho service as require immediate action, and cannot without inconvenience be postponed until the regular sefsion. I take this opportunity, also, to in vite your attention to the propriety oi adopting at yonr present see eion neceaaanr legislation to en able the people of the United States to participate in the advantages of the International Exhibition of Agri- -a a culture, maun try ana me aub. wnioa is to be held at Paris, in 1S7S. and in which this Government has been in vited by the Government of France to take part.

This invitation was communicated to tbis Government in May, 1S70, bv the Minister of France at this capital, and a copy thereof was ubmitted to the proper committees of Congress at its last session, but no action was taken upon the subject. The Department of State has received many tetters from various parts of tbe country exprrefricg a desire to participate in the exhibition, and numerous applications of a similar natnte have also been made at tbe United States Legation. Fans. The. Department of State has also received official advice of a.

strong desire on the part of the French Government that the United States should participate in this enterprise, and apace nasmtneno oeen, ana sou is reserved in tbe exhibition buildings, for the use of exhibitors from the United States to the exclusion of other parties, who have been applicants therefor. In oraer tnas our industries may be preperly represented at the exhibition, an appropriation will be needed for the ray men of salaries, and the expenses of the commissi onerB, of transportation of goods and for other purposes in connec tion wun tne object view and as May next is the time fixed for opening the exhibition, if our citizens are to share the advantages of this international competition for the trade of other nations, the necessity of immediate action is apparent to enable the United States toco-operate. In the international exhibition, wfatch was held at Vienna in 1SZ3, Coogwes then passed a joint resolution niatogan appropriation of $209,000. and utaor-izing the President to appoint a certain nr. her of practical artisans and aci-er-titie men.

who enould Libition and report their proceedings and observations to him. Provision wa also made for the appointment of a number of honorary commissioners. I have thought that prompt action by Congress in accepting the invitation of the Gov- eminent of France is of so much in-' tereat to the people of this country, and so suitable to relations between the Governments of the two conn tries, that the subject might properly be pre-' sented for attention at your present' session. ThS Government of Sweden and Norway had addreeeed an orncial invitation. -to this Government to take part in an international prison congrem, to be held at Stockholm next year.

The problem which the congreea proposes to study how to diminish crime ia one in which, all civilized nations have an interest in common, and the Congress of Stockholm seems likely to prove the most important convention ever held for the study of this grave question. Under authority ot a j-'int resolution ef Congress approved February 16, 1S7S, a eoninussioner was appointed by my predecessor to repre- sent the United States upon that occasion, and the Prison Congress having been, at the earnest desire of the Swedish Government, postponed to 1S7S, his commission- was renewed by me. An appropriation of eight thousand dollars was made in the Bundry civil aervioe act -of 1875 to meet the expenses of the commissioner. I recommend a reap- propriation of that sum for the same purpose the former appropriation having been covered into the treasury, and being no longer available for the purpose without further action by Congress. The subject is brought to your attention at thiB time in view of the circumstances which render it highly -desirable that the commissioner should proceed to the discharge of his import-act duties immediately.

As the several acts of Congress providing for detailed reports from the different departments of the Government require tneir submission at the begin- ning of the regular annual session, I'de-fer cntil that time any further reference to subjects ox publin interest. B. Mayes. V7ASHIKGT0N. T.

It is asserted that the Democratic Senators will be guided in their action upon the President's nominations for Louisiana offices by the advices oi Senators pollard and Eustis. It is ascertained that these gentlemen have not yet made known their views.

It is known that the President's nomination cannot be confirmed without Democratic votes, and in this view ef the case it is expected the President's Republican friends will favor the admission of Spoffbrd and Eustis. The situation is curiously complicated. It seems certain that King must make himself acceptable to Spoffbrd and Eustis to retain his place. It is said formal charges have been made against Collector Worthiogton, of Charleston, but no information is vouchsafed from the department.

A somewhat sensational special says From a pablio conversation of Senator Christiancy, held a few days ago, the impression was -produced that he would vote for the admission of Judge Spoffbrd.

In private conversation to-aay Judge unrwtiancy -gave expression to views touching the technical legality of Judge Spofford's election which have weakened the opinion abowe alluded to. Judges Christiancy and Davis will doubtless look upon the question entirely from a legal standpoint. There is a belief among outsiders, and insiders, too, that the views of the President will have much to do in the decision of both the Louisiana and South Carolina cases. It is held that there are sev- -eral Republican Senators who will east their votee so aa to reflect his wishes. Mr.

McVeigh, connected with tbe Louisiana Commission, wilt probably succeed Pierre pent at the Court of St. James. The View ef a Shrewd Old Gentleman. A very shrewd gentleman is of opin- ion that Eustis and Spofford will be admitted this session, basing his opinion partly upon the known desire of the flxeentive and Republican that the session should be short, wnichi tbe early admission of these Haators may secure. The Democrats will make earnest, and if necessary, a prolonged effort to secure senatorial represent atia: for Louisiana.
