ny Of the Naval Investigating Commil-
toe, Of which Mr.. Sherman Of Ohio was
Chairman, reveals facts damaging and
damning alike to the President and Sec.
rotary 'roueey The most glaring favor.

practicod in The letting Of contracts aud
the distribution Of patronage One Swift

tho I've. oak contract, in 1856, furnished
$4,000 for the purpose Of carrying
Pennsylvania for Buchanan Other fat
Jobs were given out with direct reference

Congress.

Congress adjourned last night, but we
cannot give the closing business this
week
Tho Army appropriation bill and Sow
ornl others have got through, after hay
ing been greatly reduced.
The House refused to suspend the rules
to allow Phelps Of Mo. to report bill to
revive for two years the act authorizing
the issue Of Treasury Notes.
On Saturday, the House refused by a
vote Of 1913 to SO (uot two-thirds) } TO
suspend the rules, to admit tho introduce
ton Of bill for modification Of the
Tariff. This result is uniayorable for a
modification Of the Tariff at this session.
An extra session seems inevitable.
