Affairs are reaching an end in the Capital. In
two weeks from next Thursday, the twenty
ninth Congress will cease to exist. Activity must
now mark the proceedings of that body etill
its close.
On reference to the reports in another column,
it will be seen that the proceedings of Saturday
were highly interesting, and that the special mes
sage of the President has cut out work enough
for day or two at least. 1t is to be hoped that
Congress will, from this day to the 4tV of March,
shut out all petty squabbles and personal ex-
plantations.
