GLAD TO GET AWAY,


Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l.-Congress died
at 6 o. clock to-day. There was general
rejoicing at its death. which was peace
tul, and the remains are scattered all
over the country. OF course IL was i'm
possible to let the session end without
a few incidents. First, John
Allen of Mississippi stirred up
the sleepy house with a characteristic
speech, in which he jocularly damned
the Republican party for its sins of omis-
sion and commission, especially Senator
Quay, who stood charged with q crime
and had not denied the charges. Breck-
inridge created CONSERVATION by max
ing the point of no quorum. He
was prevailed upon to Withdraw it when
Kilgore renewed it and 1t looked very
squally for an adjournment. Finally
old Richard Vanx, Jacksonian Demo-
crat, called Kllgore aside aud hasty
caucus was held in the cloak room and
Kilgore gave in. Vaux said it was better
to let congress adjourn and
go TO the country with its
tariff and other bills. 1t was better
politics for the Democrats.
In the senate the proceedings were
even more tame. Silence reIgued for
several hours, the senators being anxious
for adjournment hour and taking
no interest in the proceedings. The
arrival of the president and his cabinet
gave color to the simple proceedings and
many senators went in to pay their re-
spects to Benny. Finally 6 O'Clock ar
rived aud the presiding officer declared
the senate adjourned sine die.
HAVE BECOME LAWS.
The bill anting an extension of time
TO the Fort Worth & Denver railway for
two years 10 build its line through the
Indian Territory. provides that the line
shall start between Henrietta and Iowa
park. This bill is now a law by
the presidents signature; also the
bill granting the Sherman and North
western railway company right of way
through the Indian Territory.
The bill providing for bridge across
the Arkansas river at Dardanelle is now
also law.
