What the House May Do.
To-day the secretary OF the senate will
appear at tho bar of the house with mes
sage informing that body that the bill has
been passed, with..an amendment, and re-
qnesting the concurrence Of the house in
that amendment. The message and bill
may remain on the speakers desk until it
is convenient to have it laid before the
body; or it may be referred to committee;
or tho senate amendment may be concurred
in without reference to any committee,
and by direct vote OF the house.
Not only was the repeal bill finally
brought to a termination yesterday, but
so also was the abnormally long legislative
day of Tuesday the 18th of October. The
senate will meet To- day at noon, and the
session will he opened with prayer and the
usual forma!ities.
Now Talking Adjournment.
Now that the final stage OF the repeal
bill has been reached, senators are begin
ming to talk about getting ,way from the
city. Silver democrats when asked about
adjournment say they understand the ad-
ministration is favorable to an adjourn
ment, and presume this programme will
lie carried out
Some Favor a Recess.
An attempt is being made however, to
have congress take a recess, and this plan
has respectable number of advocates
among senators. Nov. 20 was spoken Of
us II probable date this morning, it being
expected that the house committee on
ways and means would be ready to sup
port the bill by that time.
Some senators, especially those from
southern states, held that it would be bet
ter to remain and 20 ahead with legisla-
ton Senator Voorhees, ia taking no mart
in the matter OF adjournment, but con-
tent to encompass the repeal OF the Sher-
man law, is leaving this subject to be dis
posed of by others.
