| WAsntxdroS, jurc l3.-Wiier Congress
will adjourn Is now much moo,cd ques
tion, especially among tho hotel and board
ing house keepers Of Washington, and
parties who have schemes, jobs md claims
hanging on the rugged edge Of uncertainty
The general opinion Is that the session will
close about the 10th Of July. Judge Kelly
is becoming restivc under caucus
domination, though It Is not so very
long ago that he pledged, unhesitatingly,
absolute obedience to that despotic mon.
arch. lie now begins to think, and has
been heard to say, that the assumption oi
the control OF the House by tho governing
committee OF tho Republican caucus is
revolutionary, aud that all orders to the
contrary he shall call up the internal reve.
nue. bill at the first opportunity and raise
the question of consideration on It. lie
considers Its passage demanded by the
best interests Of tho country and will do
all he can 10 have 1t passed. ts
Furnished virsininns. 7a
1t appeared at one time today us though
Congress would be asked to make an ap.
preparation for the suffering people Of Pat
rick county Va, but better opinions pre-.
vailed among the Virginians, who were at
first in favor OF It. There Is no doubt n
great lack oi provisions in the county
named, but supplies are going forward rap.
idly, and i! y ould be shame for tile State
to ask relief OF the General Government in
a case like this. The nearest railroad station
to Patrick is Reedsville, n. G., from which
supplies have to be wagoned about forty
miles. .,Hps 81

Too Risky. si.T.-.
Blnine's friends think he has made {
mistake in not taking the nomination To-
Congress, while Others commend his
course on the ground that he could not af
ford to take any risk, and tlla
q failure OF IN election would
have injured very seriously his future
political prospects. 1t is conceded that in
the present condition OF affairs in Maint
there is no certainty that the Republican:
will carry the State, and that looking to tn
Presidential Convention in 1854, it wonl,
have been unwise for Blaine to have mad
the race for Congress.
