4 Democratic member of the House Ap-

ming W the situation, that Congress; would

Republicans saw fit to .prolong the session,

Deficiency bill is ready to be reported to the
House OH Monday next, It is long bill, and
contains great many items Of a mis-
cellaneous character, and, judging Of
tue treatment the Sundry Civil bill
deal Of debate. 1t. appropriates IS, COZ, COO.
One Of the items is the appropriation for
United States Marslals, which, now that an
early adjournment is out Of the question.
may give rise to animated debate The Leg.
lslatlve bill comes from the Senate with more
than a hundred amendments, some of which
will be concurred in by the House, and tie
rest will have to be accommodated in Con-
ference Committee. What the Democrats
are most afraid of is the want Of a quorum.
On Saturday the House was just able to
muster a quorum. at least thirty members
have asked leave of absence, and though an
objection was made to granting all these re-
quests, it is not likely that any Of those gen
tlemen will stay here on that account, On
Monday, then, there will scarcely be quorum
in the city. If this is the case, no business
can be done after the point is once made
While, therefore, the Democrats still hope to
be able to adjourn by the 10th or 18th Of June,
the more conservative among them concede
That the session Is now quite likely to stretch
out until the beginning Of July.
The friends OF Mr. Morris, Clerk to the Lii
brarian Of Congress: from whom large sum
3f money was stolen yesterday at the Treas
1ry, are very much grieyed at the insinua-
ions made i'll some papers that lie cOnufyeti
It the robbery. Mr. Morris las been asso-
:lated with Mr. Spofford for eighteen years,
md the best refutati0n that can be made OF
he insinuations against him is the fact that |
ilr. Spottord not only at once drew his per-
onal check to make up the loss, 50 that the |
employees could be paid, but in addition ex- !
}ressed entire confidence in Mr.. Morris.
The confidence of Mr.. Norris friends in his |
integrity Is unsllaken.
