NO FEAR OF THAT

Apprehension has been Expressed that
the friends OF the Government would not,
at the Called Session Of Congress IN July,
have quorum for the transaction OF busl-
ness, in consequence Of the probable non
appearunce Of Senators and Representa-
lives from the Border States. The fear Is
rroundless. a majority in each House
constitutes d quorum, aud this majority the
Government party unquestionably have.
So. there will be the legislation necessary
to meet the crisis, and put down the
enemy.
