these great works were dune with lilile or
no debate or consideration. and yet Con-
grcss has been doing nothing bn, "ialk"
while IL has been 10 session. The prIn-
cipal, practical, abiding legislation OF
Congress will nearly all be found IN the
various Appropriation Bills.
The Express concludes by pointing out re-
mcdy for this I, consists, first. in the selection
Of an able speaker, one who has the ability, as
we'll as the nerve, to enforce the rules Of order
and secondly, and principally, in giving to mem-
bers Of Congress salary instead Of a. per diem.
Whether this would remedy the evil OF not, We
clnna say; hu, some corrective should be ap-
