proposed another conference.
From the spirit manifested by the Senate, there
will be no retrea. in that quarter. Doubtless tue
previous concessions of the House have inspired
the belief that another could be added. but TINS
opinion is unfounded, as will soon be proven, un-
less there should be sudden recantatiOn. The
issue ia not one TO be avoided on any account.
Everything has been granted that could be ialfly
asked. and perhaps little more. To surrender
the ground taken is to compromise honor. II
Senators he SO willing 10 confront the country
this ouestiop let them have the opportunity.
They NAV find the consequences somewhat costly.
The miscellaneous bill has yet to undergo
another ordeal The water.wtrks for this city,
the Baltimore Post Office, and the publication of
the State papers, amounting to round million,
are the points of difference on conference. The
senate demands all, and the House refuses
all. Perhaps they will split the difference as is
usual when the cOnerees get into fix, OF toss
pennies TO decide by heads or tails. Legislation
in this way is narrowed down to few hands and
open to the grayest exception. Congress has just
prohibited the distribution of books, and the hrst
act aerward is TO resume the business of publishing.
The House voted down water over and over again,
both az e beverage and purifier and yet it is
showered upon them with a Senatorial deluge.
We have full treasury, and therefore, cay the
patriots let US have distribution since these ac
cumulatiOns are dangerous. The logic used Is less
tolerable than this.
1t was q great relief when the Compensation bill
came back, with Franklin Pierce as it's indorser.

When Mr.. Campbell informed the House, few

WAS indicated IN this correspondence before MI
Can pbtll made the semi official announcement.

Members are beginning TO scatter in all dlrec-

quorum are somewhat limited. Perhaps the set

friends will not abandon the camp until the Kansas
war is ended INDEX.
