WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1879.
(iOue Home.

Congress, what was left of 1t, got
through its extra session yesterday. Hard
ly a quorum was left in either house and
that had been the case for number OF
days before adjournment.
On Monday the president sent in his
fifth veto, that of the little judicial bill, "
and the democrats concluded they would
not try TO do anything more with it, SO
they have adjourned.
The result of the nearly four months
pow-wow is that necessary appropriation
have been made for all departments Of the
government except the marshals OF the
United States courts. Of course there is
good deal of business that will be inter-
fercd with by this failure to grant money
to carry out existing laws.
But considering what was advertised at
the beginning of the extra session the
mouse brought forth by the hborng
mount lin is very diminutive one. There
came near being legislation in financial
matters that would have disturbed business
matters probably. But fortunately Bayard
and some of the eastern democrats in the
Senate took a very positive position and
prevented tinkering with the currency.
The session has given no great honor 10
either party but has in laundering sort
of way served to unite the republican
party. This has been done in spite of the
fact that the last months fight has been
over technical matters that divided the re-
plbicans themselves. The democrats on
the other hand do not feel as well rs when
they began their performance in the
spring.
A great portion of the party thinks it
has backed down." and there is very
pretty dispute in its own ranks over that
very point. Then the silver question has
stirred up much bitter telling between the
eastern and western members.
Taken as IL whole the extra session has
been farce of gigantic proportions and
it is a matter of rejoicing that it has
closed.

Shortly after the close of the war, when
New York state thought seriously of en-.
larging the Erie canal to rival the Welland
canal, it was proposed instead to build
a ship railroad, large enough to take any
but the largest OF can steamers. from some
point on the Hudson river TO Lake Erie
The plans and drawings then made show.
ed the scheme to be feasible, and its cost
was not in excess of the cost of construct
ing ship canal large enough 10 take
vessels Of the same size. James B. Etls
comes forward now with the proposition
TO build ship railroad instead of ship
canal across the isthmus of Panama. 1t
is perfectly feasible thing to lift u loaded
ship out of the water and set it on truck,
and such truck provided with two hun
bred wheels could be drawn at speed of
eight miles an hour, according TO Mr..
Eads's calculation, or at a less cost and
greater speed than canal could be built
and the ship lowed through that. Admit
raj Ammen, who represented this country
at the inter oceanic ship congress, 10
Paris, is preparing his report on the con-
gress, in which he will endeavor' to show
that the real interests of the project were
smothered by the devices of Spectators.
