WAsHiyGroN Aug. 3.-The passage By the House
to-day of Joint resolution to adjourn on Monday
next created good deal of comment The question
was general whether the Senate would concur. Ia
conversation ith members IL X apparent that
large number Of those who voted Tor the resolution
do not believe that the business can bc disposed of
by that time. II was thought that such resolution
might induce the Committees 70 work harder aud
cndeavor with honest intention 10 get away as early
as possible. II would seem that there II large ma
iority in both Houses who do not believe that all
iournent can be reached for several days, and cor
tainly not by Monday.
Senator Window Chairman Of the Appropriations
Committee. said he did not ihink adjournment pos
sibe for some time. The Conference Committees
on the Legislative bill had worked night and day
and had no, yet agreed, and he feared they would
not apree tonight even if the Committees do agree
there is scarcely time to cngross the bii nave II
prrsed, aud ready for action. The d'her blis-thc
Indian and the Consul &c and Dpl0matlc-"Oud ne
much easier TO dispose Of but the chances are lafIcS
against adjournment. Mr.. Sherman, on the other
hand and a Senator of longer experience, sand there
need be no difficulty about adiOurning at the time
fixed by the House more work than Is now before
Congress has been done IN less time than Is left and
if the Senate and House go to work tremendously
and with determination everything necessary can
be gotten through with.
Mr. Conkling III conversation, SAID he cannot SEQ
that it is possible to agree to the House resolution
He is very anxious to get away, but the arpropria-
ton bills the unfinished Investigations, and other
important business make it necessary TO stay as hc
thinks a week longer. He thinks the House wants
to rush away to avoid the pcrpeXing currency qucs-
ton which the Democrats are unwilling to meet
Mr. Boutwell, thinks adjournment possible, but not
likely. He thinks the Senate will not give way on
the Diplomatic bill, and the new House conierees
are no better than the old ones. He is anxious to
present his Mississippi report, which may occasion
debate, but the testimony is not yet ready.
Mr. Mitchell thinks adjournment is not possible.
de says the subject has not been caucused, and
there is much work yet to do. He mentioned the
Hawaiian treaty and the Pacific Railroad as qUes-
tons yet TO be considered Mr.. Logan said hc wants
TO get away, but he believes in getting rid Of the
business of Congress first. lie thinks that a caucus
Will be held Tomorrow, when reports viii be made
nv the several Committees, and the condition of
busiuess ascertained. Ii looks to him improbable
that everything can be done by Monday noon Mr..
Randolph said TO friend to-day that if both houses
would stop talking and go TO work, adjournment
would be practicable on Monday. He thought an
adjustment could be reached in four days as easily
as in four weeks, especially in cases where things
are understood as we'll the Appropriation bills.
Mr. Kerrain, Mr. Ransom, and most Of the Democrats
Clr Jones OF Florida being exception, think adj
iournInent on Monday practicable and proper
Mr. Dawes who has been in Congress 80 long that
his Judgment is good said that no arrangement on
onnropriation bills has been made that gives any
sort of promise, aud he could not think it possible
Ia adionn so soon. Mr. Ferry, President pro tenn,
said adjournment cannot be hurried in the Senate,
and is not desirable that there is large amount of
business before the Senate in which Committees and
Senators are interested. and they will each think
their business most important, and considerable dis
cussion is probable. Mr.. Ogesby thinks Congress
ought to adjourn, and can adjourn by Monday. Mr..
Cameron of Pennsylvania thinks nothing IL made
by staying here any longer, and that an arrangement
can DO reached Monday is not too soon for adjourn
ment Mr.. Hamlin said he did not think Congress
ought to adjourn until the business is over and that
cannot be finished by Monday. He thinks his Postal
bill essential and that will occasion debate: Mr.
Wright is opposed to sdjourning without consider
ing his Claims bill and Nh. Edmunds wants the
