aud is now fully prepared to tackle
the eight or nine methods Of hard
work, which 1t may ia'rly be said
have already began at the White

be to adopt Rules, and right then
the political fighting is likely to
begin. II is understood that an

of Joint Rules which shall govern
both House and Senate. In the
, past both Houses have always had
their own separate Rules.
