The second session Of the 3lst Congress was
TO close last night. The day was long one,
but there IS reason to apprchend that it proved
too short for bringing to Il close the important
business which was yet pending IN the two
Houses. There has been no OK uup.c, we be-
lietc, since the establishment Of the govern
meat, Of session in which so many measures
hayn failed of being brought to a deliberate de-
cision, the adoption Of which had been conti-
dearly anticipated by Il large portion of the
public. Several important measures are yet in
suspense. The River and llarbor Bill occu~
pie | the entire session of the Senate on Satur-
day, until midnight, without any decisive ind
cation of what would be It's fate.
The House of Representatives on Saturday
was occupied chiefly in the discussion f
amendments proposed to the Navy Bill Mo st
of these projects failed, and the bill, with some
amendments passed. The House also concu =
red in the Senate's amendments to the Postage
Bill, and adjourned at a quarter past II o'clock
Sunday morning.
Upto | o'clock last night, the Senate was
engaged on the River and lIarbor Bill, which
was apparently to be defeated by the deliberate
Consumption of time on the part Of the minor

SIR; The time being at hand when il is understood
your exceilency will determine the plan and mode of
improving the Capitol, under the late act OF Congress-
we are induced TO make short statement concerning
We 40 NOT doubt your determination TO do your duty TO
me puoc whose organ you and we have equal con
labor Tor Their support far 10 consistent herewith
We therefore respectfully make what think is fair
statement oil facts and leave 10 your excelency 10 decide
upon ihc proposition IL contains.
There are two modes of executing whatever plan may
be adopted One is by the contract SYSTEM such that
under winch the Smithsonian Institute building and the
wings OF the Patent Office have been undertaken; an
other Is by what is called day work. in which, under
superintendent selected for the purpose, Uorkmen are
employed and pdif by the day. and do the work under
his SUPERVISION We OF opinion that the latter mode
is not only airest for the aborer generally but most
vantageous TO the government Ii is certain that con-
tractors expect to make handsome profits, and most
generally succeed and where they fail, or profess
TO have failed. Congress is to be called on TO
make good alleged losses, and almost always grant re-
llei IN such On the other hand the aborer re-
ceives nothing which he does earn and the govern
ment pays for nothing it does not actually receive ia
therefore on that account most lair and advantageous
But we suppose, from experience that il will be seen
such work IS always better finished than contract work
For proof Of that opinion only refer 10 the va
rious buildings done under the two systems in this
city. as ~ #H# a+a.s.
We, the citizens of the District of Columbia therefore
respectfully solicit your exceleDcy TO adopt the latter
mode, unless your power is restrained by legislative pro-
visions
