Congress.—We are really tired of discussing the eternal question of the Speakership and, unless where we have reliable information, or, at least, the speculations of gentlemen on the ground, whom we personally know, will totally avoid the matter, unless some new developments should be made. We really know not what to say. The proposition that Congress should be temporarily organized, so as to pass the necessary appropriation bills to keep the wheels of government in motion grows upon the public mind into larger and more practical proportions, but we fear that even that would fail of effecting anything could it be agreed to. Supposing, for a moment, that an organization were arrived at simply for the purpose of passing the absolutely necessary appropriation bills, with the understanding that, that being done, the members should all resign, it is exceedingly questionable whether it could be carried out in good faith, as part of the programme of the anti-Nebraska party is that the repeal of that law, and the restoration of the Missouri compromise, should be incorporated with any appropriation bill, which could not be agreed to by the Senate or sanctioned by the President. It is an exceedingly complicated affair.
