The duration of the present session and it:
result remain az much in doubt as ever. Judge
Harris says tho man Who can defioitely answer
question respecting either is bigger fool tha1
he is, though he. the Judge, is induced to be-
licvo that tho Army bill will probably pass the
House during the current week. What puzzles
most people, however. il not when the appro
p,ialion bills will pass or whether there will be
3 long or short session, hut what is to be dona
after both houses have passed the bills .nd the
President has vetoed them.
People who arc automatically ioc!incd nay
find some diversion 10 tho solution OF the f5I'
IoHicg question III il requires as much time
as will be Consumed in the passage oil the Army
bill, which, it is sid, the President will not
oc:p, how uuch time will the passage OF tho
Legislative. Executive aud Judicla bill, which
it is also said no will veto. consume?
