: bin passed the House Of Representatives
slastweek, ,hasing forits object to prevent the
apuraissment Of goods intended for the inte-
Nor States at the ports at which they first tar-
rive. on the seaboard and allow them to be
transported to the cities where they are con.
signed; and snbiecsto tho sppraisement and
payment Of dnty at place Of consignment, for
which purpose Chicago. Cincinnati and st.
Louis are made ports Of entry. The bill has
yet to be acted On by the Senate. A measure
like this, however, seems to be in accordance
with the vast development which may be ex-
pecfed in the interior. That section Of the
country is filling up every day with an eyer-in-
: creasing tide Of population, in the progress OF
which TO pause needbe expected till the popu-
latipn of this continent u upon level IN num-
bers with that Of Eurspe. IN this great central
section, which has BEEN compared to the body Of
bird, Of which the Atlantic and Pacific slopes
ore the wings, the trade and commerce OF Eu-
rope and Asia win in time be conveyed in un-
broken packages and with the utmost dispatch.
: With the completion of the Pacific railroad,
goods may enter on either side, and be sent
to the heart Of the continent.

on Congress to adjourn at once without MAX

Nsl5 IS 80 We donot now recall any session
OF Congress at which 80 much has been said
andso little done asat this one. twill probs-
bly, occupy more. space in the Congressional
Globe, and less in the pleasant recollections
of J. the people, than any other in our
history. It has attempted but one great
thing-the removal of the President
and in that it has failed. For three
months, as we find by the calendar, all
the Radical talent Of the House has ad-
dressed itself to the accomplishment OF
that single object. All the important legis-
Iation Of the country everything that related
to finance, commerce, Southern reconstruc.
ton, the addition Of new territories to the pub
licdomain, all matters that were judicious and
practical, and that the people took any real
interest In, were flung. into the corners Of
committee rooms, in order that the House
might make faces at President johnson. They
have made their faces-some Of them very
ugly ones, We mustsay-but the President still
remains unharmed at the White House; and
all that Congress can show for the past quar-
ter OF . year, is an enormous bill (some hum
dreds Of thousands of dollars, it is said), fol-
impeachment expenses, and several hundred
pages OF bad rhetoric and worse temper in the
Globe"
