FORTY FIFTH CONGRESS-SECOND
SESSION.

A COMPLETE SHOWING OF WHAT WAS DONE.
Our Washington correspondent kept our
readers advised of the important doings of
the recent session Of Congress, but the in
formation came in such fragmentary shape,
that it was quite impossible to deduce
therefrom correct conclusion as to what
work was completed, And, as nothing can
be Of much more importance to the aver
age citizen than the acts Of our National
Assembly, we have, as the result of much
labor, grouped together under appropriate
heads, the several acts and resolutions Of
the entire session. We give the list below,
in lieu of our usual grist of editorial, feel

satisfied with the change, as it furnishes
