| The Work Of Congress The e5ih
congress closes lis session to day, ssys tho
Philadelphia Ledger of March ,. THE
presen. Congress has been engaged this
session in some very important measures,
,mong which are the annexation Of Texas
aud the Postage Reform Bill. The former
mas been carried after the most slronlmu.
lno determined opposition by a msjort, vt
lfhy sic. This settles tha, vexed question.
How it will be received by Mexico and
oner nations cannot bo predicted now;
Ine'her is it essential to know or care 60
long as i, has been effected honoiaby and
Justly and with the mutual consent Of the
parties, both Of whom were competent 10
act for themselves and had the undoub'ed
right TO do so. The passage Of the ioin,
resolutions will be hailed with enthusiastic
appreciation over The whole country -
There is no measure upon which the peo.
lpIe we're so united-none that they more
larGen,y desired to bs successful The
Postage Bill has also been passed by both
Houses and only needs the signature of the
| President 10 become law. In the Senate
on Saturday i, was amended SO as to give
members of Congress The privilege TO re.
ceve and send letters free of postage thr.
| " days after the session of Congress. The
House concurred in this amendment and
the bill may now be considered law. |,
proposes, as we have already stated, TO 20
INTO effect on the LIST Of July nextand fixes
the rate Of postage at fUe cents for any sin.
| gle letter not over three hundred miles and
ten cents for over thai distance. This is
very considerable change; and though the
rates are no, so small as some desired and
contended for, yet we think they are redu.

until the experiment Mt ahall be tried auj its
operation be more clearly perceived The
reduction is step in reform which can be
followed up at future sessions until we have
perfected and procured the best postage sys
EN- in the world.
The other bills which have been before
Congress have, all the importan, ones. been
acted upon. The General Appropriation
Bill has passed. The bill making appro.
lpriaton for The Naval service in The Senate,
on Saturday was read lhird time and pass

considered but was not disposed Of when
me House adjourned 1t will probably
pass to day. The bill for altering the Nat.
