poets of the sdjournmsnt OF Congress
| By the 3lss instant have not increased
during the past week, but rather dimin.
ished. The sundry civil or omuibus
appropriation bill. just reported from
COMMITTEES. usually consumes five or six
days in getting through the House of
Representatives, aud with the utmost
expedition is not likely to reach the
Senate before the latter part of this
week. The general deficiency bill then
remains 20 be considered by the House
and subsequently, by the Senate. The
House has also to vote upon the Senate
| amendments to the postoffice and leyis-
lative appropriation bills. Both these
important measures contain subjects in
controversy, which cannot be adjusted
without some delay, especially the star
route clause, which will cause further
discussion in the House. The river and
harbor bill has not yet received more
than q preliminary consideration in the
Senate Committee on Commences. The
Senate is already engaged discussing
the electoral count question, and still
has the Kellogg case to dispose OF, with
Q strong disposition to get both of these
troublesome questions out of the way
before considering other business. At
ell events it seems tn be very improba-
bic that the Senate will consent practi-
cally to abandon the right of an inde-
pendent consideration of the remaining
appropriation bills by rushing them
through in two or three days, which
alone will intervene between the time
they will reach that body and the date
proposed by the House resolution for
adjournment.
