Congress-certainly the COURIER
claims none-but, when the old veteran
magnanimously retires, that others

The Forty-third Congress, after a
seven months session, adjourned Tues
day last. The WORK Of the session is
more remarkable fer the measures de-
feated or killed, than for the important
bills passed, chief among which is the
Civil Rights bill. This iniquity is
killed for ever more, tits hoped The
bin regulating railways by q National
Commission was defeated aud also
that infamous bill for the gagging of
the public press. These are some of
the measures which the better sense
of Congress refused to iufict on the
country. The Civil Service nuisance
was also put al end to.
The Bankrupt Law was somewhat
amended for the better, while the com
promise currency bill seems to give
general satisfaction.

is, "his nearest neighbor on this sid ,
