Roth Houses of Congress adjourned on Mon
dav the 10Th instant in conformity with their joint
resolution. at IL o'clock. The hour.was consid.
cred as percnptorily binding on the Speakers but
we trust il is the very last time that the resolution
for adjournment is to be fixed at particular hour
for, what is the effect to-day2 Two or three OF
the most important bills of the last days OF the
session were cut off by the knees. The navy
pension bill is thrown overheard, to the great de-
triment of many poor widow. The post office
route bill, embracing, among other important fea:
tures the provision rcvving the privilege OF frank
ing in favor of all those post offices the salary oil
which does not amount to 500, was oVerlaid
The bill confirming the Cherokee treaty, which
had been twice rejected in the Senate on Saturday
night, and then passed by majority of one, was
lost for want OF time to act finally upon it.


The important bill which authorizes the Presi-
dent to employ 81 100000 in facilitating the SET
tlement of peace with Mexico, was actually lost
bv MIR. Senator Davis of Massachusetts, speaking
against time, whilst voices from the chamber were
heard demonstrating against him for this deter
mined attempt to prevent the Introduction of
resolution for prolonging the session for few
hours. This measure, which is deemed most i'm
portant for negotiating a peace between the two
countries, and the fundamental principle OF which
was recognized by the vote of the House of Rep
resentalveS on the passage of the bill and by
decided vote OF the S. nate their own resolu-
tions, has been sacrificed by senator's wasting
the time of the Senate until the moment of nd
journment had arrived.


Whatever mischief may arise from the loss of
this bill, may be fairly attributed to the honora-
bic" senator from Massachusetts.


1t is unfortunate that these measures should have
failed during The last hours OF the session but
however much we may regret the loss of them,
we cannot hesitate 10 pronounce, that this has been
one of the most remarkable and brillian: sessions
which has ever been held within the walls of the
Capitol. lts importance has compensated for its
duration. Long and arduous and animated as it
has bern, we rejoice that it has been continued
until all the great measures Of reform which the
President recommended in his message, and the
interests of the country demanded have been car
ried through, except the graduation of the public
lands But this trophy remains for the next ses-
sion to weave around its brow. We shall review
the great works of the session, however, in fu-
tHre article. We have no room for it this eve
ming. WGSkin zion Union
