WAsHIS GToS, May 29.-The principle
feature a. she Capitol to-day was the suen-
dance of President Grant, with his entire
Csbinet, with the exception of AItorn '
General Williams, who is now absent 10
Oregon on electioneering business. The
President has his headquarters in his own
room, Immediately in the rear of The SeU-
ate Chamber, toward which throug Of
senators Immediately set iu. The Presi.
dents visit lasted from IL TO o'clock II
had for its object the carry ing OUT of the
program me for extending The time of ad-
J, urnment, so ss TO insure the passage of tie
ku-klux, Civil Rights, AMI B.yones bills,
nUV lying on the Speakers table. The
members Of the Cabinet spread themselves
through both Houses to notify Senators and
Representatives of the presence of their
distinguished guest, and of the desire of the
is.ter 10 confer with leading Re spubicsns op
'he situation OF public business. Ia lh-
Senate, Chandler acted as a sort of cAll-bo
o run 10 Senators TO a cUnfereuee with 1t cir
chief. So far ~ the House was oouuerned,
there was little disposition TO pay the Pres,-
den. 9 visit, and it was only where individu.
81 Representatives we're particularly sent ior
shat any visitors from this quarter were se-
cured. The burden of the Presidents state
uent was that Congress should not adjourn
leaving these three important measures IN
acted upon. aud be made strong personal
appeals 10 Republicans in both Houses TO
-scure their passage before going home
What effect shis will have on the question OF
adjournment is a subject of much specula-
tIon tonight among the members of both
Houses. One result of the conference is.
hat an effort will be made IN the Senate TO-
morrow, to resciRd the third of June reso-
Intion. Members Of both Houses say TO
night, that they will insist on adiournILg in
accordance with the third Of June resolution.
IL the President has influence enough to in
! uce Congress to stsy beyond this time, it 10
conceded Oh ell hands that the most remar-
xable session will be insugursted that the
,ountry has yet Witnessed. The Presiden-
'isl campaign, With all it's bitterness aud per
will be carried on in disgraceful
manner in the NstiouAl Legislative halls,
md midsummer madness will settle down
ipon both Houses Of Congress. The bes.
riends Of she Administrator urge this
,Oiut, and say that the pet military bills can
never be oarrisd, no matter how long ad
ourument may be postponed.
