GOING SLOW.

Neither house was in session to-day,
and but few important committees were
in session. It tis remarked that at no pre-.
vious February has Washington been as
dull as now. 1t is attributed to the disin-
clination Of either party to take aggressive
steps. The Democrats are especially in
clined to moderation, and, being in the
majority, they can shape legislation and
adjournments to suit their notions. At
present, being on the eve Of a Presidential
campaign, they are principally employed
in doing nothing.
