ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.


At u o'clock, Monday noon, the thirty
sixth Congress closed its session. We have
not the space to give any idea Of the closing
scenes, and it will probably be some days be-
fore we shall know definitely what measures
have passed and what have been defeated
Tho Appropriation bills are all reported to
have been passed, thus probably suporcedng
The necessity Of calling an extra session.
At the adjournment Of the Senate, Vice
President Breckenridge addressed the Senate
as follows!
