There is one fact daily made manifest
IN the proceedings OF the House Of Rep
fesenislives which ought TO receive the
attention and censuIe Of the American
people, especially the Press. More than
one-ihird Of the time is consumed 10 at
tempts 10 keep quorum Of members
within the bar Of The House; aud when
this number are present. which by the
way am sorry TO say is not frequent
occurrence, less than quorum often
vote. Tenfold more attention is given
to correspondents than to public business.
Every member OF Congress admits that
this is an imposition upon the people, and
yet more than half Of the members are
guilty Of this neglect Of public business.
The only corrective for this abuse, L. TO
remove the desks and TO stop the per diem
on absentees.--Ran. yaasyseaa.

The House Of Representatives was in
session from Monday at IL o'clock, to
Tuesday night. without iu,ermission. II
was another Of the SCENES for which
the House is now famous. The sppro.
priaiion Bill was the subject of conside-
raiion--one party endeavoring to force il
out Of the Committee Of the Whole, and
The other to keep it there. The Com
mittee were finally compelled to rise,
without accomplishing the object Of bring
ing the bill before the House. Much
sharp shooting took place during the night
but the details are useless.
The whole time was consumed in car

these things. This is the grave business
