CONGRESSIONAL EXTRAS:

Just st the close Of each session Of Con-
grCss. during the hours OF hilarity tAst mark
that interesting and exciting epoch, sudden
fit OF generosity comes over the members, aud
under the stimulus Of the hour, they scatter
bounties layishly upon all the employees in and
about the capitol building. The allowances
thus made are mere gratzitiss holiday pres
ents, gifts, douceurs, to mark the exceeding
liberslity of the givers. Now as, il is easy to
endure the pain which another suffers, so is it
easy to be generous when the gift is paid for
out of another's pocket Members Of Con-
cress can afford TO be very liberal when Uncle
Sam foots the bill.
We have before us list Of these extras
voted by the Senate. at the close of the last
session. The sum thus distributed amounts in
gross to something over $4,000. A pretty
penny to be handed over on the score Of grace
and GOOD will

ANOTHER RNORHOUs CITY JOB.

The Committee to whom was referred the
laying down Of the Russ pavement in the Bow
cry, have made in the main really very good
and intelligent report, which. however intro.
duces, and the object OF which is to introduce,
a very Objectionable resolution, as follows:
"ResoIred That the Commissioner Of Repairs and
Suppss be- and he u hereby authorized b enter into
contract with Russ Reid for the construction Of the
Russ pavement through Parkrow, Chatham st. the
Bowery and the FOuIthsv around Union square. u
unite with the termination Of the Broadway contract
&C. &c, at the entire cost of - 30 per superficial
square yard"
The Committee recommend contract With
Russ & Reid, ii will be seen, for an immense
Job, at a fixed rate, without conditions or
qualification, overlooking all considerations of
economy, growing out of invited competition,
simply dtsirous it would seem Of giving great
bargain to that firm. As nobody works for the
CITY without making fortune, we take it for
granted there is fortune here and in what
will follow in the wake OF such a contract as
this. The area which it is here proposed to
cover with this pavement is not less than 1000
Yards, and the cost OF the work accordingly,
S4S0,000.
The whole thing is to be turned OF with the
dash of the pen, it would seem. and without
affording the least chance for the City toproft
by the rivalry of other bidders.
For some good reason, doubtless. the Com
mittee, Messrs. WHryLAS, McCoSXEr and
ROGERS, appear TO grow very urgent as they
approach the close Of their Report, and insist
upon the contracts being made Jorth1ib. In
deed the point of the report consists in the
zeal and urgency with which the projeCG is
urged to its immediate contamination. They
say, ait is matter of great and immediate
public necessity" and that to postpone" or
delay" the work, would be found to be the
poorest economy This precipitation of
contract Of such magnitude, may be very proper,
and most excellent economy" But if our
Committee or our City Government are con-
sulting nothing ba " economy" in the case, it is
aphenOmenon, besides being awOnder that they
should be so imbued with the conviction that
that can only be consulted by giving this con-
tract TO Russ & Reid forthwith at SO 80 per
square yard, and so putting half million Of
dollars in their pockets-less, of course, the
Common Council and Aldermanic commits
sions.

sm,r, Work I'm California.

scarcely fortnight has elapsed since the greet Dire,
end we oyuly sssert the fact that the city has already
been rebuilt Sacramento Union, Nov H.
We always knew there was an immense
amount OF productive power in California, but
the foregoing paragraph gives us higher idea
than ever of the capacity Of our territories on
the Pacific. The statement is unqualified that
a city of ~ 600 OF Is, 900 inhabitants, which was
desolated in a night, has been rebuilt in a
fortnight. We have heard OF great growths
in California; Of trees so large that they were
followed out for taverns; of pumpkins weigh
ing half a ton of aeas that picked their teeth
with the poker, and various other growths Of
almost mot quite) fabulous magnitude; but
we do not remember to have seen an account
of anything which has so impressed US with
the prodgous capacities OF California as this
statement. At this rate, Sacramento could be
totally burnt up twelve times year, and still
do iourishing business.

DEBILITY OF CONGRESS,

We are led to appreheud very great mortal
ity among the Membersof Congress at this ses-
sion. The uncommon assiduity with which
they have devoted themselves TO the public
business for the month past, must inevitably
prove fatal TO all Of our self sacrificing public
servants who are at all delicate We beg them
10 pay some attention TO their own valuable
lives and constitutions, and not throw them.
selves away from conscientious convictions of
duty.
The last week was, as any one may see by
referring TO the record OF proceedings, one of
unparalleled effort. In fact, both branches got
so exhausted BY the middle Of the week that
they were compelled TO adjourn over 10 the
next And they we're so feeble as 10 be unable
TO do this till after several times trying: and
when they finally went over, they had become
reduced to mere shadow, scarcely preserving
enough Of their normal magnitude and appear
ance to be recognized as the TWO branches of
the Congress Of the United States.

though Cuba might sometime come to US IN

NEw.JERsEY RAILROADS.

We rejoice obe able 20 report that the Cars
on the Railroad line to Philadelphia are now
run through in good time. The connection Of
the 81 O'Clock train at Philadelphia. with the
l05 Baltimore train, is again made with CON-
mendable frequency We presume this state
of things will continue for week or two-per-
haps till the adjournment of Congress. After
that time we expect the Cars will go on crutch-
es again. But while the line does its duty we
shall take pains TO announce the fact We do
this for two reasons In the first place our
readers always like aces, and the statement
that the Camden and Amboy Company do their
duty, will always be surprise of the freshest
description and in the second place we wish
TO encourage the growth of returning virtue.
We will not turn our back upon the most abau-
doned sinner-while he exhibits signs of re-
pentance and reform. We copy from the
Times the following resolution, passed at late
meeting of the Directors of the Camden and
Amboy Railroad Company
Whereas complaints have lately been publicly made
in relation the speed OF the mail lines between New
York and Philadelphia the New-Jcrsey Railroad,

Resoired, That the Superintendent of the Camden and
