WASHINGTON, June 20.-Cong1ess is making
up for the happy-go-easy why in which it has
been conducting itself, aud the accumulated
maes Of business that has been slighted for 30
long is NOW being pushed through with unwise
and dangerous haste. It Is probable that there
will bo An almost continuous session from this
till the tino Of adjournment. There is on all
hands an evident determination to adjourn on
Monday, although tie provokingly slow and
deliberate manner in which the Senate
proceeds threatens to prolong the session

TIE c1y11-R1oHrs BILL
WAS c1ever1y killed in the Houte tonight. It
WAS brought up under the two-thirds rules. and
only received 14o yeas to 81 nays. The friends

knowing that it would be defeated as it stands.
However, it is rejected without prejudice, and

against it. =.

sign the bill, if ho has not already done 30
THE RAID on BUTLER.
The proceedings Of last nights session are
severely commented upon as disgrace in tue
American Congress-. No tense is found for

speech, and nearly al rho Speakers, under stress

rauted things by way OF ctimination and recrim-
ination that would better have been left unaald.
Whilo Butler was completely unhorEed, and lost
great deal Of tho little sympathy entertained
for him there was amongst members. 1T III not
beloved that those who overthrow him
are particularly proud Of the manner IN
which they conpaased the result. There
is some comfort, however, in the reelection thnt
Butler lost his grip. and will probably neTer bo
able to regain his lost ground. Lis forco ~ a

THE DISTRICT D1LL.
The Presidents measa Sc. recommending an in
crease Of the iato Of interest on tho bonds, II
which it Is proposed to fund the District debt,
has not been favor1bly received. It appears to
be more in tho interest OF tile District ring aud
spoculators. than for tho people. Immediately
