PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS-.

sENATE-The first session after the pro-
longed holiday did not,amount to much. The
secretary of war transmitted to the senate the
engineers report advising the purchase by The
government, of the Portage Lake and Lake Su-
perior ship canal for S35O, GOO.
MI. Miller (Cal) offered a resolution, which
was agreed to, calling upon the secretary of
state for4copies of all treaties, except postal
treaties, entered into by the United States, the
ratification whereof have been exchanged, with
apeh notes as are in his possession indicating
such treaties or parts of treaties as have been
changed or abrogated.
Bills were introduced to create atariff COM
mission; to repeal the statute of limitations on
allowance OF. pension Arrears and regulate
proof IN pension cases, and to amend the laws
regarding the lease of Indian lands for grazing
purposes. Mr.. Wilson of Iowa spoke on the
Cullom interstate commerce bill
Hou AT the first meeting after vacation,
John A. Swope was sworn In q member from
the Nineteenth Pennsylvania district in place
Of Duncan, deceased. A resolution was offered
calling on the president for informa-
ton regarding the empowering by the
government of John A. Kasson and Gen.
Sanford to represent the United States at the
Congo conference, now i'll progress in Berlin.
Bills were introduced to, create a river and
harbor department; to appropriate S1.WO.OOO
for the improvement of the Mississippi river:
appropriating s5,W0,ON0 for the erection of
public buildings; to increase the number of
judges of United States courts; to provide for
the issue of 81, So and IS silver certificates,
Amotion to suspend the rules andpass the bill
alolishing internal revenue tax ontobacco, cigals
ETC., was lost. A motion to suspend the rules
and agree to the senate amendments to the
Mexican pension bill was lost. A motion to fix
as a special order for Jan. % a bill to establish
a uniform system of bankruptcy was lost, the
vote being 1876 yeas to Is nays-not the neces-
sary two-thirds in the affirmative. While
the vote shows q large majority in
manning of the session makes it very doubtful
whether it can be relieved of the parliamentary
obstacles which environ it. The measure is
not pre- JUDGED by the action, but retains it's
position on the speakers table, and if reached
in order may be taken up for consideration.
The Dickinson press., 1885-01-10
Religious Pessimists at the Begin
ming of the Century.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script prints some extracts from the d.
airy of a young parson in New England
from May to December, 1900, in which
he thus speaks of Jefferson:
May 8, 1S00-It is said that this cleo
ton will bring Jefferson into the presi-
Dental chair. i do not believe that the
Most High will permit bowling atheist
to sit at the head of this nation.
July 4, 1S00-In the morning We had
news of the death of Mr.. Jefferson. 1t
is also to be hoped that 1t is true.
December 81, 1S0O-It appears prob
able that Mr.. Jefferson will be our
next president. I think [ never heard
so bad tidings, or anything which gave
me such q shock.
Still worse was the utterance of Theo-
Gore Dwight at New Haven, before the
Society of the Cincinnati, in July, 1901,
when he said, thinking of France and
applying his thoughts to America:
We have nov reached the consulnma-
ton of democratic blessedness. We
have a country governed by blockllesds
and knaves. The ties of marriage viii.
all it's felicitics severed and Destroyed.
Our wives and our daughters are tllro"n
INTO the stews. Our children are cast
into the world from the breast. forget
ten. Filial pietv is extingu,shed, and
IL sirnames, the only mark of distinc-
ton among families, are abolished.

more horrible this side of hell?
