Development of the south.

The Boston Gazette thinks that the de
velopmcnt Of the south during the past
five years has been marvellous, aud that
our section seems to be on y boom simi-
lar to that which characterized our West
ern prairies in years past. 1t arrives mt
this conclusion from many reasons.

There are. it says, seven lines of taI-
ways now building or being ncgot stcl

Important Measures Awaitin. No

alton bills

WAsulNuTOS, May l6.--lhe week will
open in the House with overladen calcu-
dars, conflicting special orders for nearly
every day, and small chances for action.
after tomorrow, upon anything except
appropriation bills. An effort will be
made BY the Public Lands Committee
to pass. tomorrow. under suspension
Of the rules, the bill requiring the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company to pay the
costs of surveying and patenting its
gmntpd lands. The labor committee to-
morrow vii, ask the House to fix a day
for the consideration Of the bills reported
from that committee and now on the
calendars. The Invalid Pensions com.
mittee will also make an attempt to have
day fixed for tho consideration Of the
arrears of the pensions bill and other pen
sion measures. The urgent deficiency
bill will be called up for action on Tues
dAy, and the foreign affairs committee
will then cndeavor to secure final action
on the Chinese Indemnity bill. Wclnes-
day il set apart for the consideration OF
the army reorgani2 alton bill. but it is
likely to be displaced by the report Of the
post Office committee to the Senate
amendment. to the post Office appropri-
alton bill, and lively debate may be ex.
pected when the so.callel subsidy
amendment is reached. II the banking
and currency committee can secure the
floor on Thursday. in accordance with
assignment. it will try to push one Of the
bills providing for the use of small silver
certificates. Saturday is assigned for
discussion os the Dunn free ship bill.
The legislative AMI naval appropriation
bills will, in all probability, be reported
to the House during the week, and may
be called up for consideration. to the di-.
placement of some Of the special or
ders.
The general pension bill remains the
unfinished business of the Senate. and If
disposed of before the cnl of this week.
will probably be followed by the bank
ruptcy bill. The regular order will be
temporarily set aside some day not yet
determined upon for the purpose of pass
