At the end of the first hour Fredericks covered miles laps; Heg- eman 8 miles s laps, eight others, including Bruce. walked more than miles. At mid night the same order was maintined.

4 MELANCHOLY IXIT.

The Democratic majority in Congress seem 70
have lost their interest i'll most Of the things
about which they have been preternaturally
active for the past three or four years. The
business of legislation has so few attractions for
them that it is found diflicult-.thus far, We
believe, impossible-to assemble quorum Of
them mt Washington to do, or make some pre-
tence of doing, the work for which they are emf
poycd and paid. There being no patronage
to be disposed of and nothing but simple duty
to- be done, they show great backwardness. in
coming forward. The professions which
marched into Washington at the opening of
tbs Congress and the last, to gladden. the hearts
of barkeepeIs and keep members from feeling
lonesome, have failed to put in IN appearance !;
and the representatives themselves are 40 far
forgetful of the perils from which nothing but
the constant presence OF working Democratic
majority can save the country, as to make it
necessary to send to each an urgent summons 10
attend at once. Such negligence is liable 10 ex-
cite Suspicion that these patriots either were
insincere in their protested fears of great mis-
chief to the country from Republican control,
or are criminally re1niss i'll leaving the county
at the mercy of bold bad men.
What seems more remarkable they have
ceased to be curious about the frauds, follies,
and crimes of Republican administration.
Three weeks Of the session are already gone.

torpidity7 Can it .be'that they have found out
enough already that they don't wunt to know
ANYTHING more abont Republican miSmlnage-
ment and lnaladnlnistration 1t is scarcely
credible When we remember the eagegness
with W hich they plunged iuto Investigations,
tho zeal they manifested up to n certain point
where they began to find ont things they did
not want to know, and the cleverness with
which they changed their quest and went for
something else mysterious. interesting and
