There are now but twenty-six working days re-
nsniog Of this session, and thereis much business
of importance yet to be transacted. If the doings
&c tho House this afternoon are any indication of
,bs manner in which hungry minority who are
a., ,npatient for their dinners after four o'clock
has arrived to do any business intend to obstruct
,be efforts Of those who willing to work. there
will be but very small portion of the business
completed that is already waiting the action of
Congress. look upon it, however, as settled
matter that nothing Of any great general interest
will be done. 1t is understood that currency
plan has been for some time maturing In the hands
of Senator who possesses much originality and
yigor Of mind joined to great fund Of business
experience and general knowledge of the wants
and wishes of the great business interests OF the
country, but have no belief that any plan what
ever. either this of Senator Simmons, or any ether,
will be adopted at this session. There are some
propositions before the Committee of Ways and
Means of the House for various notifications of
the Tariff, which if l see any prospect of their
being reported upon favorably or Of their being
adopted, will send you in due time. There is
one that will mention-that to impose duty on
ten and coaee-a matter about which there has
been Of late years more demago guing than one
would suppose could possibly arise out ef such
subject.
r,- o1icifou hat he
present Congress adopt their earnest recommends
tons, made IN private, that these articles be SUBJ
iected to duty, because they are well aware that il
it be- not done by this Congress it must be by the
next. though not mothers son Of them will vote
for the measure Some of our Pennsylvania
Wings too are afraid of the oucry which is sure to
be- go, up in that enlightened State against any
man who dare vote to lay duty upon these arti-
ces-so that between them and the Locos 1t is
probable that the two or more millions of dollars
that might be properly raised from these most le-
climate and usual subjects of duty will be lost.
If YOU notice the remarks of Dir. Wise this after
noon during the debate upon the appropriation to
defray the expense Of the Legislature of Wiscon
sin. YOU will see that he made most violent attack
upon Gov. Doty, charging him with having detan
ed and converted to his own use money appropriate
Cd to pay the Legislature. This was promptly an
swered and refuted but it shows quite plainly that
The Governors days are numbered. 1t has been
believed here for some time that he would be re-
moved. and since Mr. Bovine of N. Y. has march
ed over SO openly and joined the guard, it is said
that he is to be appointed to that post 1t has also
been suggested that the place would be offered to
Mr.. Tallmadge, but with what shadow of reason
cannot discover.
Seine of the Locos are very DESTROYS that an
extra session of Congress be held next summer,
and is their talk about it that has created the be-
lief that the President entertains such design
The President, as am informed, intends no such
thing, and the more intelligent and less needy OF
tho Locos themselves wish to avoid it, for they can
sec that it is fraught with danger to them.
There will be IN earnest attempt made to cut
down ell the appropriation bills yet to be acted
upon, TO the lowest amount consistent with due
regard to the credit of the country. That for the
Navy i. particularly spoken of as proper subject
ufreduc,on. There are several subjects, however,
icr which if moderate appropriations were made
a, this session, true economy would be promoted
and large amounts Of public property saved from
| destruction.
The last twenty -four hours have been extremely
| cold, much the severest this season.
