Congress.

Congress is really dong nothing, and Is
apparently kept in session only to await the
arrival of the San Domingo commission. The
House has amused itself by passing joint reso.
buttons repeating the duties on salt, coal, tea
and coffee which, Of course, the senate refuses
TO act upon.
The joint committee, appointed to manu-
facture arguments in favor of Butler and
Grants kuklux bill, under pretensc of lnves-
tigating the condition of the southern states,
has made highly partisan and colored re-
port on the condition of North Carolina,
which, however, the minority of the same
committee, show up in its true colors The
house, disguised with the whole business,
thereupon rejected the kuklux bill. and voted
strongly in favor Of an immediate adjourn

Jussen, Shuz's brother-ln-law, has been re-
moved from the Chicago collectOrshlp, and
Herman Raster, of the Staatszcitung, takes

from the union leagues. He has his speech

which Andrew Johnson was impeachcd were

Illinois Legislature.

The legislature has come to a tacit agree
ment to adjourn on the 9th inst, though no
resolution on the subject has yet been adopted
The appropriation bills will be passed, but
considerably cut dowR. The state house VIII
get 100000; the state reform school $6o,ooo;
the Illinois river Improvement 100000; the
industrial university Sl25,0OO, and so on.
The appropriations will reach So,Oooooo,
against a prospective revenue OF but $4,000
600.
Fuller's railroad bill. fixing passenger fares
ut the uniform rate of cts. a mile makes no
headway in the house, and will probably be
lost.
\ general game law has engaged good
deal Of the time Of the house, and il passed
will prohibit the shooting OF grouse, quails,
&c, from the LIST OF September to the 18th of
January, and prohibit seine and gill net
fishing in the rivers But it will contain
clause allowing persons to fish in their own
way and kill all the game they please, and
when they please, on their own premises.
The penitentiary gives the legislature more
trouble than anything else. The senate is
now hammering on bill to lease it to the
highest bidder, meantime to have commit
tee of investigation to overhaul its affairs dur
ing the adjournment of the legislature. The
Investigations the committee thus far show
big frauds and steals somewhere, but the
time given them was too short to trace them
out For instance, the report of 1868 says
the average cost OF each convict was As cents,
and the average earnings 60 cents per day,
showing profit of s2l5,632, but nothing can
be found to show what was done with the
profit.

Buffers Nemesis.

AS every family is said to have its skeleton
in the closet, so every great man seems to have
his Nemesis. Buffers Nemesis is General
Farnsworth. When Butler was in so prosper

who blocked his game by showing that Butler

ments and his paid advocate in the house.
When Butler had made all Washington ring
with the splendor of his reception, and the
magniflccnce OF his mirrors, 1t was Farnsworth
who mercilessly stripped the Dutch Gap hero
of his glory by informing the country that the
mirrors had been borrowed from the treasury
department, and that one Of them had been
pltilessly explained Buffers interest in the
granite quarry from which the stone for the
Boston post Office was to be taken, and it was
Farnsworth who made and carried the motion
to strike out the appropriation of 81 100000
to erect that structure. In fine, wherever
Butler may turn, whether TO call up his ku-
klux bill, or edge in an appropriation for stone
from his granite quarry IN Massachusetts or
red stone quarry near Washington, Farnsworth,
indicative and unrelenting, is on his track.

but Peoria is preferable in thousand ways

would take an enormous lobby fund to carry

The fears In relation to the INSULT
cheney of rain to produce good crops,
If justified, will tend to higher rates Of
money, because the loss of seven to
eight millions, which should be real
lied by the sale of crops, will check
the collection of business debts and
retard the flow Of money into the reser-
voirs for its employment. 1t is to be
hoped that these fears may not be JUS
titled In the event. There will be no
important rise i'm breadstuffs If the ex-
portable surplus Is cut of, since In any
event there will be surplus for use,
and short crops at medium prices are
not BENEFICIAL to growers. The supply
of coin continues very good, although
the operations Mt the mint are small
this month. The aspect of the foreign
market is of n demand for bullion for
Europe, which may tend to increase
the export hence. The demand for
money for remlttances Is not good.
The amount due by San Francisco Is,
at the present time, unusually small.
The importations from abroad arc 20
per cent. less than last year, rs indi-
Gated in the custom duties. The re-
ceipts Of goods from the East by rail
are Of less quantity and value ; at the
same time there are railroad and mine
