Congress remained in session until the
middle Of August. The business of the
House is not il a forward state, and
there are and viii be sill more serious
disagreements between the House and
The Senate on various matters. This
has been peculiarly prolific session in
originating radical legislation on all
SORTS of subjects A great deal Of work
has been put in shape by the commit
tees, and the attempt to throttle legs
lation by holding back appropriation
bills, aud then repeating them Tor act

Speakinya us Republican, should like
tosee an adjournment withmt legisl.-
tion by the responsible democratic ma

1t would demonstrate the incompetent
cy of the democratic party to legisla'e
for the country. But, lay ing party pull

it may be necessary to consider care,l =

A strong CONTINUATION is forming tc
keep down the appropriations for the
increase of ii Navy, and especially to
limit the amounts to he expended On
guns and Qualifications. One wing OF
this army will deal in figures and harp
upon the necessities Of reducing appro-
piations. The other wing will indulge
in the customary spread eagle oratory
about the iinvinci'ility of America aud
the bulwark af bare breasts that would
suffice, with neither Navy nor fortifca-
tions, to drive invaders from our shores.
But the combination will fail. 1t is now
certain that the increase of the Navy
will be agreed upon, and that a com.
prenensive system Of Notifications will
be adopted and the manufacture Of
heavy ordnance will be entered upon
There is some division of opinion as tc
where these guns should be made, but
