ADJOURNMENr OF CONGRESS.

An Unusually Long Session Predicted.
WAsHINGTCN, April 1t seems to be
the genera opinion of members Of both
houses of Congress that the present ses-
sion will extend well into and possibly
nearly through tho summer. This opin-
ion is not based so much upon the back
ward condition Of business or any doubt
that the appropriation bills could be
rushed through in rapid order as upon
the fact that the two national
conventions will bo held while Congress
is in the midst of its work Natu-
rally, very many cf the Democratic Sem
ators and Representatives will want to
attend the 81 Louis convention. Many
of them W.ii bee chosen delegates, and
others will want be on hand TO aid in
shaping party matters. Hence business
in Congress will probably be in state of
comparative suspense during the st
LOui. convention, because Of the absence
OF democrats, and during the sitting OF
the Chicago convention because Of the
absence OF Republicans.

EIGHTH STREET TUNNEL.

The Council then proceeded 20 discuss
The proposition OF the Richmond * thes-
apeake Railway Company to run a tun-
mel under Eighth street from the northern
10 the southern limits of the city.
Mr. Pizzini stated that the granting OF
this franchise gave away TO a company a
franchise valuable, vet one which should
be carefully thought about, and moved
that the whole matter be referred 10 the
City Engineer for Linn tO report 10 a
meeting of Council next Monday night
The passage of the ordinance was
urged by Mcssrs BOwden and Kaufman,
the latter claiming that the City Engi-
neer had no doubt already been con
suited by some member of the two Com
mittees on Streets, and, after two years
consideration, had doubtless learned
what The company wanted and what was
needed
Mr. pizzini suggested that ihe tunnel
could come ont Fifth street instead OF
Eighth street. He referred To the fact
that the running OF this tunnel would
be u nuisance 10 people living on Eighth
street, and would block up Eighth and
Cary and the entire neighborhood.
Considerable discussion followed, which
was participated in by a number Of mem
bers, during which it was suggested that
the whole matter be postponed for "a
week
MI Murphy said that this was the first
time that he had ever heard scheme 10
swing the mouth of The tunnel from
Eighth street to Fifth No committee
had ever heaIl OF such proposition.
Mr.. Pizzini's motion that the matter he
re erred to the City Engineer, he to re-
port to meeting next Monday night
was lost Ayes, 9; noes, 10.

WAsHISGroS, Oct 2S.-In an opinion
rendered by Justice Bradley in the Drum
msr Tax case of William g. Asher VS.. the
State of Texas. the Supreme Court of the
United States today declared unconstitu-
tionsl all State laws imposing a license tar
upon commercial travellers not residents of
the State imposing the tax. Asher was .
resident Of New Orleans, and, while selling
goods Dy sample in Texas, was arrested sud
lined for violation OF the State law
making il misdemesnor for any
person 70 do business ss
commercial traveller without having first
taken out an occupation tax.
Asher contested the constitutionality of
this statute. taking the ground that il was
Repayment TO the clause Of the Constitution
giving Congress the exclusive right TO regu-
late inter-stste com IN cree. The State Court
decided against him. Asher appealed the
case TO the Supreme Court. which today
gave a decision in bis favor. The Court, in
its opinion. says that il sees no difference
between this case and the Robbins tTennes-
see case in which the state law was held To
be unconstitutional. As TO the contention
of the authorities OF Texas that the decision
Of the Supreme Court in the Robbins case
was IN conflict with prior decisions OF the
court. Justice Bradley very drily says that
even we're this true, the court has ALWAYS
supposed that later decision has the effect
OF overruling q prior decision with which
II may not be in harmony. The Court then
says: 1--WE do not propose to enter into a
renewed discussion of the matter at this
time"
