Adjournment at Congress.

The labors Of the Forty Second
Con.r Sss have come to close, but
little has been accomplished particu
ially during the third, and last SEES
sion. Tie commanding feature ct
the last session was the Credit Mo.
bilisr investigation, the develop
ments OF which have been wat clisd
eagerly from fret to last. Much
time was spent, and mnsh money
expended in carrying on the inveati
CATION; and tho result was that Oakes
Ames and Jim Brooks were censur
ed; and some o,hor members OF both
branches Of Consress, were placed
in uncomfortable positions before
their constituents, whore they still
stand. In addition 10 this several
election cas ~ have been looked in.
to aud charges brought against IN EN-
bers Tor bribery or attempted DIT
hrry, have likewise received much
attention. The great work OF tho
session was that OF leaving the con
si1er4tion of all the important mat
ters 10 the consideration OF the next
Congress. Let it be here written
that TO the last Congress is due the
edit OF the abolution of that much
abused ii :ht known as tho ranking
privilege, which WAS AZ unlocked
for as the miileaium. The vital
questions that were pressed for con-
sldera,iop, as railroad legislation and
the currency qnestion, have to go
unconsidsred.
