Having now given a detailed review of all the bu- siness pending before the American Congress, with but two wecke of the session remaining, it may be well to follow it up with a correct account of what our legislators bave done during the past nine months. If this account should prove scanty and unintereat- ing, the fault will not be mine. The official records. will prove the correctness of my statements, and when your readers begin to stare at the amount of legislation perfected by Congress, they must recollect two months of the session were lost in efforts to organize, and double that time in efforts to bring about disorganization. (See the Kansas imbroglio.) The proper and legitimate le- gislation of the country has received but a pittance of Congressional attention. Excitement, agitation, party purposes, have been the pets of our legislators —the public good has been thrown to the dogs. It is due, however, tothe Hon.L. D. Campbell, of Ohio, the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, . to say that he has discharged the arduous and re epgnsible duties which devolved upon him as the head of the leading committee in the House, with great promptitude and fidelity. The appropriation bills were all reported in less time than at any previous session. That they have not been acted on and passed is no fault of bis, Tnow close my resumé with the following cor- rect list of public and private bills, and regolntions passed by Congress up to this time, and which have eceived the sanction of the President:— PUBLIC ACTS.
