the resolution He thought the business Of Congress
in no condition to allow the fixing of day for adjourn
men and especially at a time early Mad been de-
sgnated The great question of the day Kansas had
been taken up the House. and here it had only
reached an intermediate stage. Mr.. s. could cousen
to have the cay Of adjournment fixed until it is de ided
what plan shall be adopted for restoring peace in Kansas
There are other important subjects, also, which ought
be disposed Of such the Naval Board question: Cifor
mia wagon road bill ana Pacific Railroad bill. II,
anxious to cose the session before the heat of

one or two at least of the most important subjects had
been disposed of before liking day.
Mr.. FRoDnIAD, (dcm) Of Pa favored the resolution

unless the time was fixed soon.

It his duty to ask the Senate early next week. take up
the Kansas question: and sit out until disposed Of As
to the Naval BILL the Senate tired of the dis
cusson on that. No member could command the attention
OF six Senators that subject One day for each of these
measures was enough, and these bills could just well
be disposed of in two weeks three months. To go
III the present way, with GRAFTON day only to ad
ourn for another Grafton ON the next day the discussion
might continue till doomsdsy, without coming to vote
Mr.. HALE, (Dgger worshipper) of N. H., quoted a
mark made several years ago by Hon. Cave Johnson

done in the last two weeks matter whether earlier
later day be fixed for the adjournment" Senator'S say
there is disorder Kansas it is very probable the
people of Kansas may say there disorder in Congress
He thought there would be less danger of disorder in
Kansas il Congress should adjourn He would, therefore,
vote even for earlier day than indicated by the
iution He had ns hope that any good would be
pishcd by this Congress His trust in the people
He wanted TO adjourn and go before them with the great
issues now dividing the public mind.
