Congressional.
Washington, Dec. 3.
--Senate--In the Senate, to-day, after assembling, nothing was done save the appointment of a committee to wait on the President, and inform him that the body was in session and ready for business.
It adjourned before 1 o'clock. Nearly all the Senators were in their seats, and good feeling prevailed.
House.--A joint committee was appointed to wait on the President and apprise him of the organization of the House.
About an hour was spent in selecting seats, which was marked by hilarity and good humor. At 1½ o'clock the House adjourned.
About 200 members were present, including all the South Carolina delegates except Hon. Porcher Miles.
The galleries were crowded to overflowing.
The Message will be sent in at noon to-morrow
