THE 6fty-sixth Congress commenced
today. What it will do, nobody can
tell; but few intelligent men have the
remotest idea that il will reflect either
honor or credit upon the country, or
that it will be conducive to the inter-
ests of the people thereof. Congress
es are becoming more and more dis
graceful and corrupt. Cromwell drove
the members of Parliament out of their
seats for less cause than a mob Woulo
have for driving the members of Cot-
gress out of theirs.
