In The beginning OF this week We found
consolation for ineriness of the Represents

IN the re Election that both Houses would no"
go seriously 10 work. We were, as the read
err will have seen from the history OF this

age Of the Smithsonian bill, even though ii:
particular features may not be altogether ae'
ceptaole TO all, proves that The House is moi
msensibe TO The moral obligation TO iegislate
upon that subject in one way or other.
From what we have casually heard in con-
versa,ion. we think it quite possible that The
Tariff question, and some others, may be
suffered 10 lie over to another Session. aud
that The appropriation bills, &c. may be
passed in short order, so as to allow Congress
to adjourn much earlier Than they possibly
eau do. if the majority in Congress should. as
the government paper has minated thai
they positively would, seIiousl, endeavor
low to pass new Tariff bill. The rumor to
which We refer is, that it shas been deter

leaders in Congress, TO make the next session
begin in October Instead oil December, and
as consequence, to terminate the present
