GF In the future, we shall appropriate moro
space. in our columns, to the proceedings OF
Congress. So fat, nothing of importance has
been done. In the House, the 2lst rule, is still
the subject of heated debate, and of elimination
and denomination. Orr member, Mr.. Hammet,
selected this topic, the one best suited TO blow
off his maiden breath, in Congress. His effort
is eulogized by his party, and condemned by
she Wings. We have no doubt, that the MEM
bers of Congress were as much disappointed as
the citizens Of Columbus were, in his effort here
last summer. The Tariff is under discussion in
the Senate. Many bills have been introduced,
aud will, from this time, become interesting, as
the time is apprOaohi ng, for final action on them
all.
