1t was currently reported here, yes.
terday afternoon, that Mr.. Stevens had
departed this life. Upon inquiry, how
ever, ii was learned that he still surviv-
I'd, though unusually feeble. His po-
litcal associates express doubts as 10

CONGRESSIONAL.
The actual business of Congress to- |
day may be stated almost in II para
graph, nothing Of special Importance |
having been done in either house. The
majority seem disposed to postpone
more important matters of legislation
until after the impeachment trial is
over, and therefore the tax and taritl
bills are held back. The Senate has
three or four appropriation bills ON
hand, but have thus far made very lit
tie progress with them. Sherman's and
liendersOn's funding propositions will
probahly fail this session, as neither
huI.e il in any mood to act upon them
pending the conspiracy to remove the
President, which Is, of course, the iirsi
add most important mat er tle Jac
