When completed, there were various
complimentary remarks made upon 1t,

marked, "Isn't that a daisy2" "See
how slick the slips" and other like ex-
pressions of approval.

has also been very great, some anxious
applicants Offering to pay fabulous

been made by persons exceedingly anx-

hut no attention has been paid 10 any
of these. Gen. Crocker intends that
everything in connection with the ere

and under go circumstances will he &C
cept any help or suggestion from out
siders. Only the judge, jury, Jail Off
Gals, and a few representatives OF the
local press will be admitted. All kinds
of sp~eculations are being INDUCED in
as TO the probable conduct of Guiteau
on the scaffold, but ut the Jail they
think there is no telling whs. it will be.
Owing to his well knows cowsrdice it

The question Of the adjournment of
Congress is about as far ~ ever from
actural settlement. The members of
the House who have their individual
nyass to attend to are naturally
more anxious than the Senators al pos
sibly be. The representatives are ciph
ering out a result which will allow an
adjournment by July 10. The easy
going Senators have prepared for an
all summer campaign and are willing
to think of an adjournment at the
close of another four weeks. The Sen
ate does not propose to regulate its mo-
tioRs by the passage of any of the ap-
preparation bills, but will have a leis.
urely debate on the Bankruptcy bill
and various other measures. And
when the Senate enters upon a debate
NO human being a foretell when it
will end. The spectacle of the Senate
cslnily discussing projects Of law late
into July and the House fuming with
impatience to be off is more likely to
be seen than n precipitate adjournment
with the postponement of any i'npor-
tant job.
