FRESH NEWS FROM WASHINGTON

Hiscock Will Not Go to Indianapolis - Congress Reopened
    Washington, Jan. 2 - The statement that Senator HISCOCK has been invited to go to Indianapolis to give Mr. HARRISON advice as to how he should form his cabinet, is unfounded, consequently the fabric of speculation regarding the particular kind of advice that he will offer falls to the ground. Both houses of Congress opened with a fair attendance. The Senate met at 11 o'clock, according to the resolution adopted previous to the recess, and after disposing of the miscellaneous business took up the tariff bill, on which the Finance Committee has been laboring industriously during the recess. I learn from Senator HISCOCK that the duty on alcoholic perfumery, which was reduced 50 per cent, in the hill as reported, will be restored - a piece of information that will bring gladness to the perfumers of Rochester. In the House the regular order of business was taken up. The editors made to modify the calendar so that certain measures may take precedence are no likely to succeed.
