The irregularities oil congress are getting
to be shocking. Yesterdays session was run
into the night in entire forgctfulncss or disre-
gard Of the fact that midaigM separated Sat
Nrddv from Sunday At two o'clock this
morning. however, Senatorial eyes grew heavy
and Senatorial heads grew dull, and so re-
ccss-for rest and relroshment-was taken till
half past seven.
As the pious and devout people Of Wash
ington wendcd their way to their respective
churches this forenoon, the flag floating over
the Senate wing Of the Capitol frankly and
fcaressly proclaimed to all lockers in that di-
rection. that in the hall beneath, the humble
servants of the people were al icork--proba-
bly, under the justification Of necessity. Their
present session will doubtless be continuous
until tomorrow noon, at which time Congress
will take a recess until the third Monday in
September. This carly reassembling Of Con-
gress is induced by the language Of the Pres
dont in his veto Of the Electoral College Bill,
in which he characterizes the State govern
menls in the lately reconstructed and read
mitted States as " illegitimate and Of no va
lidity whatever and declares that the only
legal votes that can be cast in these States
