But four days are left Of the present session
of Congress and, as usual. much important
business Remains TO be hurried through, IN the
dsorderly manner which has characterized
tho closing scenes OF the sessions for several
years. None Of the Appropriation bills have
been reached. Benefits Land bill will again
be pretermiited, and the French Spolistion
claims-that have for years appealed in vain
to the national honestly and justice-wilI be
allowed TO linger on the calendar,a burning re.
proach to our government and people. We
can but regret that the national legislature
should have passed through its constitutional
term, without doing something worthy of re

gent of the new line and brought thence to
