the soldiers back there, or else to station a

The whole of this extra session of Congress
ia to be regretted, and no part Of it more than
the general legislation upon which it has now
entered. None realize this more than the re-
publiosns and yet 10 order to avoid the con
domination of the greenbaokers, whose modified
ideas they now believe arc becoming popular.
they resolved at their caucus yesterday to cease
all dilatory end 6libusteriug efforts to prevent
the Introduction of general legislation during
the present session. Thus again, as usual, they
make principle subservient to what they falsely
imagine is good policy, aud also snub Mr.. Con
ger, who is so fond of hearing himself talk
that he rises upon all occasions, in and out OF
season, to object, and annoy tho House with bis
silly reasons therefor.
