TUESDAY MORNING, MAY %, 1926.

The first session Of the Nineteenth Congress
vas closed yesterday few minutes after twelve
o'clock NJ. Several private bills, and two or
three relating to the Public Buildings, the Sa-
laries Of Clerks, SC. were passed. Extracts
which we have made from the Washington
papers, will show what was done on Saturday.
The bill authorizing the making OF Turn
pike Road in the County Of Alexandria has be-
come law. The bill relative to the Collection
ed upon in the Senate.
We rejoice that the bill for the Relief Of Mr..
Monroe is passed. 1t allows him $4,000, in
full for all demands against the United States.
Rigid Justice has been dealt out to him; and we
trust tina, even Mr.. Giles viii now have The mag
nanimity 10 cease with his vitupera,ions.
We learn from an intelligent gentleman who
came down the Delaware on Saturday last
with Mr. Randolph, that this common defamer
embarked that evening at Newcastle for Eng
land. His tongue was running necessarily
from the time he left Philadelphia until he
reached the ship, the most wanton attacks upon
private character forming the chief part OF his
harangue. Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Lloyd, Mr..
Holmes, Mr.. Taylor, the Speaker, Nr. Ogden
of New-York, Mai. Russell Of Boston, and many
others, were successfully brought upon the ia
pis, and shamefully abused for the amusement
Of the company The following extracts are
all we find in the papers.

Soon after his arrival, he intimated to his
friends in this city, that something particular
had occurred in the Senate, on the day on
which he left Washington. "We would see,

On his way up the river, the steamboat passed

Having passed the ship, some considerable as

purpose, desired that the steamboat should ne

The following remarks were few days ago

but such was the general feeling of disgust
eyinced by the House, that any other man than
Mr.. Carson would have sunk under his disgrace.
