CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

hat the resolution for adjournment IL 10 DC hAeu AZ
particular hour-for, what is the effect today Two
three of the most important bills Of the last days
Of the session were cut off by the knees. The
navy pension bill is thrown overheard, to the grea
detriment Of many poor widow. The post office
route bill, embracing, among other important fea'
lures the provision revyins the privilege Of Thanking
in favor Of all those post Offices the salary Of which
does not amount to 800, was OVERLAND. The bI
confirming the Cherokee treaty, which had been
twice rejected in the Senate on Saturday night and
then passed by majority Of one, was lost for wan
of time to act finally upon it.
The important bill which authorizes the Presi'
dent to employ 81 900 900 in facilitating the settle
meot of peace with Mexico, was actually lost by
Mr. Senator Davis, Of Massachusetts,, speaking
against time, whilst voices from the chamber were
heard demonstrating against him FOR this deter
mined attempt to prevent the introduction Of reso-
luton for prolonging the session for few hours
This measure, which is deemed most impor-
tant for negotiating a peace between the two
countries, and the fundamental principle Of which
was recognised by the vote Of the House OF
Representatives on the passage Of the bill, and
by decided vote of the Senate on their own resou
tons, has been sacrificed by senator's wasting
the time Of the Senate until the moment Of adj
joumment had arrived.
Whatever mischief may arise from the loss OF
this bill, may be fairly attributed to the honorable
senator from Massachusetts,.
IL is unfortunate that these measures should have
failed during the last hours Of the session; but how
ever much we may regret the loss Of them, we can
not hesitate 10 pronounce that this has been one Of
the most remarkable and brilliant sessions which has
ever been held within the walls Of the Capitol
lts importance has compensated for its duration
Long and arduous and animated as it has been
we rejoice that It has been continued until all the
great measures Of reform which the President rec
commended in his message, and the interests Of the
country demanded, have been carried through, ex.
cept the graduation Of the public lands But this
trophy remains for the next session to around
its brow. We shall review the great works Of the
session, however, in a future article. We have nc
room for it this evening.
For the present we content ourselves with laying
before our readers the list of the titles of all tn,
acts which Congress has passed during the present
session, intending to push the publication Of al
the public acts with the utmost possible rapidity.
