The Work Of Congress.

lNe NOik vi CONSlcSSs
II Previous to the adjournment Of Con-
gress for the holiday recess, 106 new bills were
introduced in the Senate and 338 new bills
introduced in the House This is in addition
to resolutions Of which number were offered
in both houses. The first bill introduced into
the Senate was the bill to provide new form
of government for the District of Columbia.
The two bills first introduced in the House
we're the naval and the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bills, both of which
we're passed by the House before the adjourn
ment and arc now in the hands of the Senate
committee on appropriations. In the three
weeks of the session the Senate passed fourteen
bills, of which the only ones of Importance
were the new finance bill and the bill for the
relief Of settlers on the public lands who have
suffered from the ravages of grasshoppers.
The House passed eighteen bills, the only i'm
portant ones being the two appropriation bills
above mentioned
The finance bill, as passed by the Senate,
was framed by Mr. Sherman, but as it has
been severely criticised by fnancicrs and its
merits duly canvasscd since the adjournment,
it thought it cannot be passed, in its present
shape, in the House. The main features of
the bill declare for the substitution Of frac-
tional currency by coin at an early day, and
for a specie resumption on the first of Janua-
hon h,t tho nh ipo
ry of the bill isgeneraly regarded as defective
for the object it has in view.

The Pork Trade.
- From the Cincinnati Prices Current
we learn that to the 1st instant returns have
been received from over $40 packing points
outside the cities Of Cincinnati, Chicago, St.
Louis, Louisville, Milwaukee and Indanap-
oils. At these interior points, which packed
last season within about 10000 Of all the
hogs packed outside the six cities named, the
indications arc that the packing at points
which have closed and estimates for the sea-
son at others, show falling off in numbers
amounting to about one hundred and seventy
thousand, compared with last season. Def
mite conclusions regarding weights have not
been arrived at, but it appears evident that
the later packing has been of an improved
character, as compared with earlier hogs, and
there has been some reduction in the amount
of average shortage in weights as shown in
the previous reports. Hogs yet to come for
