Both Houses. of Congress by separate Ieso
lutions, have agreed to ad jonrn on the 22d OF
June. We presume, therefore that the session
will be brought to close on that day. Apar.
from the dispatch of business, there are
reasons why the Republican majority sholld
desire it. The several Investigations into the
moety scandal, the Sanborn contracts, and
the District frauds, haye done the party inf
mite harm. The sooner these are smothered
or gotten rid gOf the better. 1t els there
fore, wise policy 10 vote for an early ad-
jOurnment, SO that the impression made by
these damaging revelations may be weakened
by closing all debate upon them as quickly as
possible on the plea OF the urgent necessity of
getting through with unfinished business 1t
is worthy of note that the Committee of Ways
and Means have come to the tardy conclusion
that Messrs. Richardson, Sawyer and Banfield
are all deserving of censure of their conduct
in the Sanborn transactions, and that General
Butler, who seems to have been the special
friend and, as many surmise the accomplice
of nearly all the parties implicated, desires
as might have been expected-to be heard in

The National Crop Reporter pub
fishes final estimates of last years crop
of oats aud hay in the states of Illinois.
Indiana, Nebraska, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin
The estimated total production of oats
in the states named in 1872, in round
numbers, is 1872, 100000 bushels, and
the falling off from this in 1878 is
placed at 10 2-lO per cent. Indiana
shows the heaviest loss being II per
cent, and Tennessee the largest gain
near 9 per cent.
The estimates of the hay crop ,:ives
an average falling off for the crop OF
1872, as compared with that of 1878.
equal to 81 per cent, and makes the
total yiell last year in the above states
nearly 10000 900 tons.
Reports from correspondents of the
Crop Reporter indicate an unusual
favorable condition Of the growing of
wheat in most sections, although in
few localities it is feared damage has
been done by alterations of freezing
and thawing weather.

APPROACHING GRANT NUPTIALs
Miss Nellie Grants engagement is
one of the leading topics of society chat
here. II will be remembered that
Fanny Kemble, the tras edienne, who
married Mr.. Pierce Butler, of Phila-
delphia. and was afterwards divorced
from him, had younger sister who
eVinced great talents for music. She
studied in Italy and Paris, and made
a sensation in several concerts, but
before she was fairly on the stage as
prima donna she was wooed and won
by Mr. Sartons, rich Euglishman OF
an Old family. Now, when Miss Nellie
Grant returned from Europe list year
she made the acquaintance, on the
steamer, Of the second son of this Dir
and Mrs Sartons, and the intimacy
ripened into affection. Just then the
elder brother died, and the fortunate
swain thus becomes the heir to the
Sartous' estate. 1t is intimated tha
the marriage will come off in the sprin.

They are necessarily somewhat of an

general tenor of the dispatches is
most hopeful, and indicate a large in

meagre as to make it not best for US to
speak Of them, though We believe the
Republican candidates in each of them
are elected.
