Congress YESTERDAY.

In the United States Senate, yesterday,
Mr.. Garland introduced bill for COM
to examine into the subject Of
the tariff, with view of facilitating leg
islation thereon, and Mr.. Wallace in
troduced a resolution to the effect that
legislation upon the subject of the tariff
at the present session of Congress is in
opportune and inexpedient. The bill
for the repeal of the bankrupt law, with
House amendments, was considered.
An amendment was adopted that the re-
peal should not affect rights and proceed
lngs growing out of or dependent upon
the bankrupt law, including all rights of
debtors and creditors; another amend
ment was adopted, providing that the
repeal of the law should not take effect
until January !, 1879. The bill was then
referred to the judiciary committee to
perfect the saving clause. A bill was re-
ported favorable from the military COM
mittee granting site to the city Of Balti-
more for a dry dock.
In the House, the legislative apFFo-
priation bill was further considered, but
without final action. A bill was repor-
ted from the committee on Mississippi
levees, appropriating 1851 ,574 for clos
ing crevasses and strengthening the
levees on the Mississippi river.

The Furniture Trade.

The manufacture of furniture is now
carried on in Wilmington very extern
sively by the house OF Messrs. j. q j. N.
Harman, which has become the depot in
this section for first class goods. Will
mlngton contains numbe of factories
for the manufacture OF common and cost
ly furniture or that of a superior nature,
and these supplies in great measure
have been for local trade, although ship
ments are made to adjoining counties,
ana even States. But none of these can
surpass the stock ofthe above namedhouse
OF M essrs. j. ~ j. n. II arman which is To-
Gated at No. 4l0 King street, where
every description of furniture is mans-
factured. The name, of the house has long
and Familiarity been connected with this
branch OF trade and has become wide ly
known throughout this and other states
Ihelr factory which Is constructed with
modern Improvements il four stories
nigh exclusive of basement, 25x120 feet
IN size, and filed to completion with a
rich and rare assortment of furniture, all
OF which are oftheir own designs. They
have facilities equal II not superior to
any other establishment in the city, and
we therefore acquaint the eitzeus and
the trade to this TACT. They established
their business some 50 years ago, and
now have an establishment complete in
every particular and containing parlor
suits, chamber sets, dining room, library
and cottage sets. These must be seen to
be appreciated as they cannot be excelled
in he country.
