Event Details
The record of finished business in the national legislature is meager. The discussion on the Georgia bill in the Senate, and the consideration of the tariff in the House have formed the staple topics of discussion, though the matter gave way on Tuesday and Wednesday for the contested election cases, many of which were awaiting action. The anti-polygamy bill of Mr. Cullom has been reported to the Senate, with amendments. The real business of the session, the tax bill, the tariff, the funding bill, &c., have not been materially advanced during the week. Even the census bill, which should have been completed a long time since, still hangs between the two houses. There is a disagreement between them, mainly in regard to the patronage conferred, and a committee of conference alone can settle the difficulty.
