Congress-.


The necessity for July Session of
Congress is becoming more apparent
every day, and there undoubtedly will
be one. A majority of the members
have signified their determination to be
present, which win give them q quo
rum and enable them TO attend to BUSH
ness. The recent decision of Atty
Gen. Stanbery and the repeated attempt
by President Johnson to invalidate the
Reconstruction Act, will necessitate q
re-assembling of that body at as early
a day as possible.
1t is believed that if Congress should
allow the Sd of July to pass over with
out a meeting, Andrew Johnson viii
then Immediately show his conspiracy,
and will issue an order re-instating the

The trial of Surratt still continues,
and it is thought that the evidence
against him, already brought to light,
will convict him. The testimony is
