gress, we proceed now to consider what reason
there is for the cutlery that nothing has been done,
and that the transaction of business is unnecessa-
riy delayed by that body.
Aud AT first let US see at what time the long ses-
sion of Congress has usually closed:
! Congress. Year. Closed.
! Twenty.third, 1884 June Both.
! Twenty fourth, 1886 July 4th.
! Twenty fifth 1888 July Stb
! Tweniy-slxth, 1910 july 2IsL
Thus ii will be seen that the average time of adj
journment at the first or long Session of each of
the four last ivan Buren) Congresses is about the
Uh OF July-by which time, we trust, the present
Congress will have completed its Session, aud
without leaving three-iourths Of its most impor-
nni b'Ils 10 die on the table, as has generally been
DONE
Aud now let us see how much has been done
at this Session, and how the doing of more has
been prevented.
The first business Of the Session is to refer the
several portions OF the Presidents Message TO the
appropriate Committees respectively and the APP
porOning it aud moving such reference in the
House is uniformly devoved OH the chairman of
the Committee Of Ways and Means. Mr. Fill
more accordingly offered at the proper time the
resolutions of reference, which are always adopt
ed, matter of course. But they were met
this time 10y counter motion from Mr.. c. g. .4h-
ertoR Ia bitter LocOloco from New llampshlre)
that 80 much of the Presidents Message
ommcnded Discriminating Duties be referred, not
to the Committee Of Manufactures, as usual, but
tn the Committee of Hays and Means. On this

ices Mr. Atherton proceeded to inlet Speech,
and thus opened debate which consumed weeks.
