one time the leaders contemplated recess, butt

and that the session will continue until Decem-
Der. Many members may leave during the sum
mer months but the leaders Of the majority will
remain, and by their tactics will manage to keep
present quorum. There is sufficient business of
public importance TO require a session for some
months yet-business which has been neglected in
order to give precedence TO partisan speecbifying
and the strategy of how not to doit in the great
work of reconstructing the Unian. The intelli-
gence from this city printed in the New York
Tribune Of day or two since. that an earnest

You may. perhaps, have observed the prompt

emancipation of African slaves. America bereay

her tears for awhile, and rejoice that Russia had

mistaken, that if they succeed in doing it, they

that the President was meditating mOnstrOus
