1s able to carry the spirit OF prescription even
beyond the grave. The Chaplain Of the Senate
opened the proceedings this forenoon with a
beautiful prayer in favor Of reconciliation and
harmony among the representatives Of the peo-
pie, especially now that the hand OF God had
touched the lender Of one Of the great parties in
the last Presidential contest. Scarcely had the
Chaplain ceased, when Simon Cameron arose,
and. asking that the reading Of the minutes be
dispensed with, moved an adjournment forth
with. The object OF this unexpected move was
but too plainly apparent.
The Republican caucus, which met at 10 o'clock
in the morning, had taken into consideration the
advisabiity Of adjourning over in respect to
Horace Greeley, and had decided that, while the
Senate was perfectly willing to adjourn, it was
out Of no such tender consideration.
Senator Fenton begged Mr. Cameron to allow
him to offer bis resolution providing for an ad-
journment over the day Of the funeral, especial
" as both himself and Senator Sumner desired
to submit few brief remarks, but Cameron
would not give way, and by a rising vote his
motion to Immediately adjourn was largely car
ried.
Senator Fenton would not have pressed this
motion at all had lie not consulted with large
number Of Republican Senators, who assured
him that his resolutions we're eminently in order,
and that they would support them.

DON'T LIKE IT.
The Administration organ here does not like
the way in which Congress yesterday refused to
accept Banks Resignation Of the Chairman
shp a35ira Of II the s,vz Committee nm on Forsign
a actioa of ths s House fR5s morning. IN decnibs ahs
to receive the resignation OF General Banks Was
due entirely to Democratic votes. This should
not be taken as an indication that the other
gentlemen who made themselves conspicuous by
vIfying the Administration, from the President
down, are to be treated in 3 like manner. We
do not believe that the House OF Representatives
ls prepared to give its seal Of approval to the
retention Of the Chairman Of the Committees On
Claims and Post Office, and Post Roads.
