viii have raped the House to order
for the last time, and the first session
of the Forty-ffth Congress will be |
known ouly in history. Well would |
it be for the country if with its de-
parture there could be blotted out
and rendered iitnbcnous, all the un-
wise and disturbing influences that |
have been begotten and nursed into |
life sipee their first meeting in extra |
SESSION in October last. The masses
will rejoice, and struggling business
interests that have been for mouths |
Oh the great divide between univer-
sal bankruptcy and unprecedented
prosperity, will be relieved OF the
most potential cause of the lack of
confidence in the stability ofthe fnan-
cial future of our country. Thinking
men are learning that 10 costs us too
much to be. governed. This is true
of cities and States, and the nation Is
not an exception. The rush preceding
the adjournment was greater than
usual, and for many days schemersand
lobbyists were seen hurrying to aud
go, making available every means to
push their pet measures. Many staked
all on forlorn hope, aud wrecks OF
stranded legislative schemes are
found every where. Multitndes who
have liyedAnpon PROMISES relying on
the paSsageef MEASURES IN which they
were Interested, are having great diff
ticulty in making peace With the pro-
prietofs oftlleif boarding houses.
The investigation of the electoral
fraud has hOs panned out to the adj
vantage of aug party. The business

sage of the resolutions touching the
Presidents title, introduced by Bar
chard of Illinois, and the adoption of
the report of the Judiciary Commit

security to tie country, aud indicates
that men of both PARTIES will not con-
