WARRINGTON, July 2O.-The Joint
risoluto on to adjourn Congress July
2Sth will not pass, but it IS safe to say
strong effort win be made to close
the session the first week in August.
II Congress remains until August it
will be the foulth time in twenty-five
years they have prolonged the session
10 late. That the hot weather is hav-
ing bsd effs CT on the temper of the
average member is shown by the
personal encounter last week between
Laird and Cobb aud the battle of woy DIS
OF the Senate yesterday between
ingalls, and Miller. Scarcely a day
passes that the overhea'ed blood of
the members is not riled, and it would
be good thing for themselves and
the country to adjourn at an early
date.
