No HOPE FROM CONGRESS FOR OUR SHIP
PING INTERESTS. bill to promote the ship
ping interests of the country was before the
House of Representatives yesterday, and after
long debate was laid upon the table by the
decisive vote of eighty-two to forty-fve. This
indicates that one of the most important
branches of our commerce need expect no re-
lief from Congress. We have repeatedly urged
legislation upon this subject, but we fear that
nothing will be done until the people elect
national legislature that will pay attention to the
commercial and agricultural prosperity of the
country instead Of devoting its entire time to
the work of retaining a particular party in
power. The shipping interests Of the United
States have suffered fearfully, and are still
suffering, but our Congress is too busily en-
