Our law makers brought their labors 10
close and adjourned sine tie on Friday Of
last week-Feb 22l. Really, however, no
business was done after Thursday night, as
the Senate on Friday was unable to mus
ter 4 quorum. On Thursday, however, le-
gislation in the House was conducted on
locomotive principles. As no bill can pass
the House without call OF The yeas and
nays on the final vote, and "a this takes up
so much time that 100 bills day is the
utmost limit the House can pass. that bo-
dy adopted an unprecedented device to
get over the difficulty. The clori; would
read over the titles Of say dozen Of bills.
The speaker would ask. IS there any oL;Sc-
ton to any of these bill? member
would answer, Nary objection" The
clerk would then call the yeas and nays on
the pile, and if the majority said aye, the
speaker would announce that the pile
had passed Thus nearly all the bills on
| the files of the House were worked thro'
A large number of the bills thus passed
were however lost on account OF the non
action OF the Senate upon them.
Among the bills passed WAS one chang

ton. We shall publish the bill as soon as
we get an authenticated copy.

Travels of Father Abraham--Sudden He
Cira to Washing on.


In following the President elect on his
travels towards Washington, in our last, we
left him elevating the American flag and
making speech in Independence Hail.
Philadelphia, on Thursday of last week
On Friday he went to Harrisburg, where
he had another splendid ovation-the day
being Washingtous birth day-in the
course of which he was presented to the
old Continental chair in the House OF Re
representatives., at which he made another
speech. The day was a stirring and busy
one, and it was no wonder that the Presi-
! dent sought rest by retiring at the COM
mendably early hour Of o'clock.
| Alas however, for the plaques of hui
man greatness Abraham was scarcely
| ensconsed in his bed, when there is rap
at his door, and on demanding who it was
| that dared, at SO unreasonable time and
place, to disturb the Presidential repose, a
name was given that brought him instant
| ly to his feet. Whoever it was, he came
with bundle Of dispatches from Wash
ington that precluded all further idea oi
repcse that night What the contents
were, is still unknown,-enOugh,t they rem
dered necessary council of WEI, and the
great question presented was, Whethei

escape in disguise, like burglar, to Wash

So all the magnificent preparations for 6
grand reception at York, Baltimore, anc

the innumerable throng Of newspal er re

Kellogg's District.
'rbe telecranb desnatches. Friday

The telegraph dispatches, Friday morn
ing of last week, briefly announced that
the Republican Congressional Convention
in Kelloggs district, at Peoria, had unani-
mously passed resolutions condemnins his
course. The impression conveyed by such
statement, although true in one sense,
yet gives a very erroneous impression OF
what the convention really did do The
true state of the case is about this. When
the convention got together, it was found
that the friends of Mr.. Kellogg and his
enemies were very evenly balanced His
enemies insisted on passing resolution
instruc.ing him to resign; his friends III
sisted on his unconditional endorsements
AS such wide difference promised to
make stormy convention OF II, which
both sides seemed anxious to avoid, they
got together privately and agreed to conn
Dro,aisc 1t was fixed up that the enemies
of Kellogg were to drop their resolution
asking him to resign, and his friends were
to consent to the passage OF resolution
disappearing his compromise resolutions
before Congress With this understanding
the convention met. The resolution OF
disapprobation was proposed and unani
mously passed. But now comes the mean
part Of the business Tho enemies oil

sidered the resolution, and proposed to
amend it by an additional clause instruct

tense confusion and excitement, in the
midst Of which the vote was taken and
the amendment declared lost The aboli

audience had voted and defeated it, anC
demanded the yeas aud nays. The aye:
