WAsHIN0TON, February 1.-THE Sep
ate has so much before it and so liitl'
time that only one or two imporiaD
measures can reach the point of fina
action at this session. One OF them may
be the pending reduction in relation e
election Outragc5 I'm Texas. Another th,
Census BILL The Pacific Railroad Fund
ing bill. which has been SD long pending
may fail of reaching a final vote a.
there is no hope of its being taken mp in
The House, nothing viii hc gained hy
| pressing il to q vote in the Sc ate.
THE MEASURES WHICH WILL BIZ PUSHED
lN THE SENATE
are the bills which have passed the

! Union Pacific measure the Census bill.
which Senator Hale has given notice he
will call mp tomorrow. Senator Hale
/ expects the Census Dill tO occupy the

Mr Mills viii call mp the report on the
tariff question, and an extended and eX-
citing debate, which may take several

fcieucy bin, which will bc called up al
The earliest opportunity. Several con-
ference reports. notably The Territorial.
Will be presented, and as they are mat
tcrs of the highest privilege, they viii
take precedence over All other questions

feared. will meet with decided opposition
from Mr. Mills and others, and hlibus-
