The August Senate has Adjourned.

the last day of the extra session of
Congress, there was fair attend

smali gathering Of spectators in
the galleries. Not the least ripple
OF excitement had outlasted the
financial conflict an everything
was quiet and serene as suited the
occasion. The reading of the jours

continuance dispensed with while

the committee on appropriations
the House resolution for final ad-
journment at 3 2. m. To-day.
Mr.. Coke voted against the ad-
journment. The poorest way, he

to adjourn, go home and leave the
public business.
Mr.. Dolph a so opposed adjourne

thought that the Democratic ma
jority should stay and transact

tily concurred in what had been
said; but it was not worth while
talking about it when hey all
knew that a quorum could not be
kept in either House,

ISOLATION were made By Messrs. Call
and Berry.
Mr. Gray intimated that An at
tempt to continue the session would
be an idle parade OF zeal. The purr
pose fer which Congress had been
called in extra session was now be.
