There will be one fine point to be brsugh
up in the courts in the future. According
to an act Of congress, to-day is . legal holi.
day. and the question troubling many of the
members, is, can the laws passed to-day have
any legality? Many of them have doubts on
the subject, contending that the session ex-
pired last night at twelve o'clock. They,
however, continued business to-day, leaving
it to the courts to decide the question.
The members walked up to the pay roll
this morning, and set their names down sp.
