Congress.

ln the Senate, on Saturday, the question Of
the right Of Senators Bright and Fitch to
their present seats, was disposed finally.
Ga proposition moved by Mr.. Trumbul,
to amend the resolution so as TO make 1t read
that they were not entitled, the vote was yeas
81, nays 30
Ga the final questio1--.hat they were so
entitled, the vote was unanimous in their
favor.
A message was received from the president
calling the attention Of Congress to the con-
dition of the treasury, and expressing the
opinion that it will be impossible for them
to consummate the legislation made neeessa-
ry thereby 0y the time-at noon Of this day
fixed for adjournment.
. Various reports from committees of confer
ence on disagreeipg votes upon appropria
ton bills were received; all Of which were
agreed to.
Ia the House Of Representatives, mes
sage was received from the President Of the
United States, in which he called attention
to the condition of the Treasury. Ga the
l9.h Of May last the Secretary OF the Trea-
sury, estimated that thIrty-seyen millions OF
dollars will probably be required for the first
two quarters of the current fiscal year
from the lst of July to the 1t of January
next. This does not Include such amounts
as may be appropriated by Congress over
and above the estimates then presented.
To what extent there will deficiency, can
dot be aseeriained till all the public appro-
priation and private bills shall have teen
passed. Congress should not adjourn leav-
ing a deiiciency-it would be disgrHce!u
to the country; and the President asks Con-
gress to provide the necessary means before
their Adjournment.
1t would be impossible for him to as
certain the amount which will he re4uir-
ed before to-day. He promises not ito detain
Congress an hour longer than necessity may
require, and reilerateS the statement IN hs
aunual message, that he vii! sign no bill
without due examination.
Mr. j. Clancy Jones said that if the House
would 20 to work, and not consume the time
10 debate, they could flash the more import
ant business by 4 O'clock, and, he enabled to
adjourn on Monday.
The House then proceeded to consider the
Senate's amendments to the bill making ap-
preparations Tor the collection OF the revenue;
and having disposed Of them, the bill was
passed,

New Orieans Affairs.

The Picayune commends the course pur-
sued by the mayor in effecting the com
promise, as EARNED mutitudes, iutlamed by
animosities, increasing with every hours
delay, were waiting behind barbados, or
camped in the public squares, waiting Tor the
signal to combat. An accident, moment
rashuess, a misunderstood order, or an out
break Of individual folly, might have given
the signal, and drenched the paVemeuts with
blood"
The Bulletin and most of the other papers
also commend the course Of the mayor. The
Crescent, however, denounces him as having
legalzed treason and cons)rted with outlaws
Duriug the day the friends of the mayor
severely denounced his course, and sosnc
persons, it is alleged, having threa tened his
life, he bad to be protected BY the Vigilance

heart unto ighteousness-and he made COMES

From that important epoch OF MS lie 10 the
close of IT, his conversation was that OF the
NOnble, CONSISTENT, SiICcie, hSS''t

weakness and sickness and WEAKNESS, were sui
iered in serene resignation TO the Divine Mas
willard, by His grace, they were full OF
The most lamb.llke submission TO Christ and OF
