Congress and the Chicago Convention.

II has been very generally published that Congress
will take recess OF ten days about the time or the
Chicago Convention. The matter has been talked or
but the proposition meets with little favor in the
Senate, and there Is no prospect Of that body con-
curing in IT.. Doubtless so many members OF the
House Will go to Chicago as TO leave that branch
without quorum, and the Senate, which Is always
behind the House In business, will have chance to
catch up. The truth Is that none OF the big work
OF the session, such as the finances, the tax and
the tariff has yet been entered upon. Senator Sher
man has solemnly warned the majority In Congress
that they dare not go before the people In the next
Presidential election without having devised some
acceptable system In regard to the finances and the
public debt; and the question OF internal taxation Is
one OF scarcely less Importance. Then the fight on
the tariff will be more bitter than ever this year.
The impeachment trial will probably last this month
out, that IL will he the LIST OF May before the regu
lar business can be resumed. Most Of the large APP
preparation bills are yet TO be acted upon From
this II viii be readily that there plenty before
Congress to keep II hard at work for three months
to come without taking recesses TO attend political
conventions.

ing an a more suitable locality. The Site
designated Is the pobiic reservation on The line
CT the Canal between 10th and 18th streets, at
the intersection of Louisiana avenue and Ohio
avenue. The ground is now occupied as a
lumber yard. This is probably the most con-
yenient locality in the city, next to that now
occupied, for market purposes. The present
site, being at the junction of the two great
thOroughfares of the city, PennsyIvsnia avenue
ard Seventh street, each with its line of street
cars 80 convenient for market-goers, I'M
doubleday accommodates the public better than
sIy other; and we have always believed that a
market house structure, with fine stores on the
Avenue front, and with the market business
cNTried on inthe rear nigh be made decidedly
handsome feature of the Avenue. But the
feeling in Congress is evidently so decidedly
II favor OF its removal that we think the idea
Of rebuilding it In its present position should
br abandoned for good. We trust, therefore
that the House will act at once upon the bill:
and as the House District Committee viii prob.
ably not have an opportunity to report again
this session, IL will be advisable to have il
taken from the Speakers table and passed
without being referred 20 the committee If
this course is not taken the whole thing win
probably be delayed indefinitely, and the pres
eHt miserable sheds will continue to dlsfigure
tie principal street of the city. Fl.-
As mere investment, the construction of
frst-class market-house would be the most
profitable outlay that the city could possibly
