The Bill will occupy several days more.
The Senate spent an hour or two in Execu-
tive Session.
The Revenue Bill was taken up in the
Houee and discussed with much ardor. The
GENERAL impression is, that it is too important
3 measure to be hurried through in a week.
Those who have turned their attention to the
subject. find it intricate and difficult.
Messrs. Saltonstall, Ingersoll, Pickens,
Hastings, and Medill spoke on the Bill. Mr..
Wise has the floor for to- morrow.-J. Of Com.
House of Representatives, July S0.-The Revenue
Bill to-day received its order for engrossment which
is equivalent to its passage. Until to-day, by many
of its friends it was considered doubtful measure
rather of doubtful success. he yoIe, however,
is most triumphant one, and its final passage may
be considered as certain, as Its vote upon the en-
prossment was decisive. The success OF the keye-
nue. Bill in the House makes the passage 81 hene e
defeated as many hoped and many feared II WoulG
be, the Land Bill would not have been CONSIDERED.

subject for consideration next week 1 ne Vote you
will observe is a party one-the opposition having
become so negative in their character that they vote
negatively upon every question Whlch is orougnt oI

to meet the expenditures of government, nor aPpro-
priatons to meet the expenses. Their motive rom
the outset has been to embarrass the government,
and to make the Extra Session d session WITHOUT
