General Congressional News.

Mr.. Sherman's desires in connection with
the Senate tariff bill are reported still TO be
that the wool schedule of 1867, recommend
ed by the wool convention. shall be incor-
porated in the new bill that Mr.. Sherman is
reported as standing almost alone upon that
proposition, as none of the republicans
would be willing to agree to the proposition,
which wonid be logical corolisry that there
should be corresponding increase of the
duty on woolens. II can be pretty certainly
stated, therefore, that the republican bill
will not adopt the wool schedule for 1867.
There seems to be not the slightest possibil-
ity that the bill will be brought into the SEN
ate for discussion before the first of Sep
tember, and possibly not until the middle of
the month. No one now suggests the posi-
bility of an adjournment of Congress before
the middle of October. Indeed the opinion
10 growing that there may not be an adjourn
ament at all, and that it may be a continuous
one, except for recess for two or three
weeks at election time.
The republican senator's are very much in
earnest in their purpose to force the discus
sion of the fisheries to an immediate end.
This is one of the results of the caucus.
