CONGRESS.-We have lately published very
little of the proceedings of this body chiefly because
they have been of nature not calculated inter
est our readers. The Senate continue to spend the
greater part of their session in the consideration OF
Executive business. In The House OF Representa-
tives the debate on the subject o! amendments to
the Constitution consumes great portion OF time ;
and the National Journal OF Tuesday says, that
from the number and ardor of the candidates for


the floor, we may fairly anticipate thai the discussion
this subject is only just opened, and that will
occupy the House for the next two or three weeks.
On Tuesday the Senate passed the bill making
appropriations for the support of Government for


the year 1926. The bill making appropriation for
certain fortHcations was called up, and after some
debate on the item Of the appropriation OF $4,000
for the purchase Of land at Throg's Point N. Y
for the purpose of erecting fort, motion OF Mr.
Harrison, tue bill was laid o, the table, and the
Senate proceeded to the consideration OF Executive
business.


In the House of Representatives, the discussion
on the amendments to the constitution was resumed
in Committee Of the Whole on the state of The
Union.
