ian WAHHiNaTO.v. 1'ebruary 15. To judge fi
tbu cxprestlnns of the members of congi
ith when speaking for themeelvea alone , am
> w seine extent from the course of events 1
week , an extra tension of cnngresi is na Ion
ei ( , probable , but may ba possible , as exprerel
: at of fear on conviction are heard on all ha
tlmt tome rurty or faction not including the
persona tpaakin ; . would welcome an extra
sesslou , and It is conceded everywhere tint
the condition nf publio buiincts Is ueh that
the purpote , If oiitertMned , may bodfctid ,
and perhaps without the disclosure uf the re *
iponsibility therefor In any quarter Kvcn if
t-yery ono ba credited with the straight
forward purpose of working t > secure the pats-
ago of the appropriation bills bo-
fora thotth of Alaieh , the fact
remains that under the Icng exi'ling
ruliB uf the home , the roods to entanglement
are many and thort , uhile the w v" tn the
solution cf porKltilei pirlUmintiry dlllicultiep ,
are many and luvohtd tn five ot the moU Im
portant appropriation bills are yet to be acted
on by the house. And thoio in addition to
the pn t ollico li'l , wLich pissed the hoii'o
yettouUy , must yet bo considered by tha ten-
.Vo committee ot appropriations. At the
i-los of proceedings at Iho house last evening ,
recess v m taken till ten o'clock to-morrow

It was ROUO ally uudoigtood that tha rec'ss
wis taVen in order to present the execution ol
the regular order for to-morrow , namely , ths
