The Washington Republic. at the con-
clusion of a lengthy article on the notorious
inactivity and inefhciency of the present
Congress, says Thus stands the House,
public business neglected, with fifty Demo-
cratic majority; private claims postponed;
days and days consumed on points of order;
the Speaker doubling in his positions; the
Chairman of Ways and Means not respect
ed by his own friends, and the House under
the control of weak and factious politicians
A sorry picture, truly, yet too faithful'to the
reality.

SINGULAR The Cincinnati "Nonpareil'
says: "A little circumstance occurred few
days ago, which will be of some interest to
those who love the marvellous. A fine pic
ture of Gen. Pierce, hanging in the Office
of Maj. Alvey, on Water street, suddenly
fell, and was broken in pieces. at the exac.
time the accident befel the General and his
family on the Railroad. Perhaps some will
consider it strange coincidence, while 9TH
ers, more skeptical, will consider it chance
circumstance.
