Gongress has concluded iis unnecessarily protracted ‘adore and adjourned sine die. Up tothe very last its proceedings wero marked by defeat to the extreme men ‘who carly im the session secured control of ‘the body. ‘These men were totally and uufalteringly opposed to omy adjournment until the constitutional limit of the term was reached, and two months ago it seemed proba- Die they would carry their point, Hut the late devel- opments of activity in the outside political world, and the acknowledged bad record #0 protracted a session ‘for political reasons would make, frightened the wore ‘weak and timid of the radicals, and led to coalitions that have overthrown the power of the leaders and defeated sem in their great izsue. Both houses were in session from eleven o'clock yes- tercay morning until half-past four thie afternoon. It ‘would seem that those who counselled and secured the all might seasion last night overestimated the pending ‘Dusiness, at least so far as the Honse was concerned. ‘The result was that while a bundred and tweuty or more members were kept from their beds all night, there was sufficient business to occupy their attention only at de- tached intervals, in the aggregate amounting to not more than a couple of hours, aud to-day, having been kept in their seats thus unnecessarily all night, and con- sequently wearied and sleepy, the memberr were com- polled to be within call to constitute a quoram, as the Senate from time to time sent them the result of its ac- tion on their all night work. ‘The Senate, with a very large amount of executive business on hand, found it difficult to keep vp with the House in matters of legislation. The night was largely spent in executive seasion, an occasional interval being had for legislation, the came as durmg the day. It has ‘been really a burried and laborious time for this branch of Congress. The timree conference committers ap- (pointed in the course of last evening on the Ariny bill, the Civil Appropriation bill and the Deficiency bill, re- spectively, kept both houses waiting all night Wil-on ‘and Schenck, the respective Chairmen of the two Mili- tary Committees, were members of the Conterence Com- mittee on the Army bill, and, like two schoolboys, neither would allow the other a bite of his sugar-plam. Fach insisted on his own bill or nothing; #0 nothing was effected, and a new commitioe had to be appointed. Schenck, still anxious for the credit of introducing the successful bill, opposed the new committee, and ‘attempted to introduce a new bill, which he was con- fident would meet with acceptance in the Henate, but having been kept in hot water all winter op this gentieman’s ambitious efforts to of the army, manifested the of their patience by pitching him and his Dille overboard. A new committes was appointed, who course of the night patched up a new bill out of to them, which, on being reported wat accepted and passed by both the House. It provides for cight new regiments of infantry, four of veteran reserves and four of colored troops, and four regiments of cavairy. ‘The Deficiency bill was reported back, the Senaie re- ‘eeding from ite amendment appropriating twenty-four E i At ton o'clock thie morning the President of the , United states proceeded to the Executive room in the doll, in order to give prompt conmderation to such bills (} a0 might de inid before him, and remained there until the adjournment At fifteen minutes past four s message war received from the House proposing a joint commities to wait upon ‘the Provident and edviee him of the purpose of Congress to adjourn, provided be has no farther business to lay before it The Senate named Messrs. Harris and Nesmith ‘as their portion of the committee, and the House named Mosars. Morrill and Finck. The committee returned in due time and reported that they had performed the duty confided to them, and the President bad informed them ‘that be had no further business to lay before the House, ! Speaker Colfax, in conclusion, made « very happy apeech, thanking the Hovee for the complimentary reso. Mution voted him, amd wiebing them a afr rewrn to thew ‘The cloning scenes of the sension, including Int night's Seasion, were not marked by any special degree of inter. feat, aside from the crowd gathered to witness them, end the efforts put forth by members of the House to keep themsolves awake by overdoses of stimulants, thus pro- ducing the contrary effect, and making themselves tar- gets for the minsiles of thoeo lean somnolently inclined. The only important bill remaining im the hands of the ‘President when Congress adjourned war that admitting i og Nebraska aa a State, which popular rumor insists he will pocket, Veto of the Montana Surveying District Bil. ‘The House met st four o'clock, when the President sont in a message vetoing the bill to erect the Territory of Montana into e separate surveying dutrict. The old schome of fraud so obnoxious to the Premdent in the former Montana bili ne to call for the Executive disappro- bation of that measure ifad been smuggled into this bit, Put Deine discovered be the President he promptly re | mm turned it with his reasons, The message was ordered to be printed and referred to the Committee on Territories, A scene of confusion and merriment followed, buncombe and facetious resolutions being in order, there being no other business before the House. The Civil Bill, with Increased Salaries of Members of Congress, and the Bounty Bill, Passed. The conference committee on the Civil Appropriation bill this morning reported to the House, recommending the increase of pay of members and the Bounty bill, but rejecting the appropriation for the Mississippi levees, ‘The report was adopted by the House. Similar action has been had in the Senate. The bill was sent to the President. It was expected that the President would veto the bill, but, contrary to these expectations, he signified his approval of it. Admission of Senator Patterson, of Tennessee. The action of the House in rejecting the joint resolu- tions in favor of Mr. Patterson was returned to the Senate this morning, whereupon the Senator was ad- mitted by a vote of twenty-two to eleven, and imme- diately took the oath and proceeded to participate in the business of the Senate, The Air Line Railroad Bill Tabled in the Senate. The most conspicuous bill of a public nature left out in the cold by the adjournment is the Air Line Railroad Dill, for a road betwoon New York and Washington, in competition with the Camden and Amboy and Baltimore and Ohio monopolies, The bill passed the House, but was tabled in the Senate, the money of the monopolies being more potential than the influence of Thad Stevens and Forney, ite special guardians. The Neutrality Ameudment Tabled. No time was givon for any action in the Senate on General Banks’ neutrality amendment scheme, and that goes over. The Mexican Loan Scher Several days ago it became ovidont that Mr. Banks would be unablo to get in his report advocating a loan of fifty millions, or rather an endorsement of that amount, to the republic of Mexico, and its friends of the lobby left here tm disgust. Mr. Banks had the project fully mavured and an elaborate report written, but wax unable to got it in, and the whole subject goes over to the next session. The Minority Keport of the J lary © mittee on the Case Jef 5 Jack Rogers, from the Judiciary Committee, with his usual energy and independence, submitted a minority roport to the House on the complicity of Jeff Davis in the assassination conspiracy, The report was ordered to be printed and laid on tho table, It is said te refiect severely upon members of the committe for the one- sided and partisan-like manner in which the investiga- tion was conducted, Senator Doolittie’s Position. Senator Doolittle took the floor this afternoon on a privileged question, in explanation of his course in ro- fusing to obey the instructions of his State Legislature on the passage of the Civil Rights bill over the President's veto, and in review of the resolutions of that body call- ing upon him to resign. $a a written speech of consid- erable length he contended for the independence of logisiatara, and argued the honesty of purpose with which he had labored throughout the session to harmon ize the departments of the government. He avowed his Purposejo retain bis seat, come, what might, considering that, in the present disturbed condition of the country, for hit to resign would be moral cowardice, His speech throughout was a most admirable vindication of the policy of the administration, which it was doubtless in- tended to be. His shrewdness in getting it in under the guise of @ personal explanation is considered a mice piece of diplomacy. The Radicals and the Feniuns. A Fenian meeting was called for last evening at the Fair Building, eorner of Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenne. This building was given by the government to the Indios having charge of the late fair in the aid of the Soldiers’ and Sattors’ Orphan's Home. The ladies object- ed to the occupatfon of the building by the Fenians, not yet having removed all the fittings and goods of the fair from it, Mayor Wallach interfered with a polieo force, and prevented the megting. Soon after midnight this action was brought to the attention of the House, when & joint resolution was introduced, granting the use of ‘the building for the use of all public meetings, com- Pletely ignoring it# former transfer to the ladies. The wmtroduction of the resolution gave opportunity for ox- tended flattery of the Ven:ans;and is was Snally adopted. ‘This morning it was breaght up in the Senate. Senator Johuson reviewed the facts in the case, and justified the Mayor's action, Senators Nye and Wilsom indulged in prolonged buncombe speeches, dlarneying the Irish. ‘The joint resolution was fmally passed. Fenians Opposed to the Course of the Radicals. A meeting of Irishmen, calied view of the unseru- Palous efforts which the leaders of the radical party are making to entice the Irish citizens of the United Stator from the path of duty in the present crisis m the affairs of our beloved country,’’ is aunecnced to be held in this city on Wednesday next, “to ropudiate tbe unnatural alliance so treachorousty sought and to proclaim thetr unswerving adberence to the reeonstruction policy of President Johnson."’ Among the speakers announced for the occasion are James T. Brady, Richard O'Gor- man and General McMahon, of New York ; (eneral Shields, of California, and others.

The following is the concluding portion of the report of the proceedings in Congress last night, or rather this morning, together with the final proceedings and ad- Journment:— At two A. M. the Sonate doors were reopened. TUK CIVIL APPROPRIATION BULL. The Conference report on the Civil Appropriation bill was under discusmon,.the debate having commenced in secret session. When the doors were opened, Mr. Witsox, (rep.) of Mass., had the floor and was advocating the equalization of botinties and opposing, the increase of compensation to Membors of Congress. He bad been in the Senate twelve years, yet if he were to die to-morrow he would not leave behind him enough to buy @ pine coffin; still he could not vote to increase his own componsation when such a just demand was denied to the soldiers of the country, "He regarded the action of Congress in this mater as disgracefol, Mr. McDovGatt, (dem.) of Cal,, called Mr. Wilson to order for applying such remarks to the action of Con- ress, ‘i Mr, Feasuwnen, (rop.) of Me., said the report was just what the Senate bad vedon. The Senate had, by « large vote and with the aid of Mr. Wiison, voted an in- crease of compensation to Members of Congress, and by an_ equally large vote had defeated the woposition for the equalization of bouutics, Some else besides the soldiers ought to be cousulied on this bounty question. It was his opinion that outside of the ranks of the ing oy people would be found oppored to ying $350,000. for this purpose. A hendred dot. jan each soldier would give a little pleasure, perbap: fora time, but it would render necessary an amouns of taxation that would be felt tor yearr. Mr. McDovgaut said he had expressed bis opinion on thie bonnty question a year or two ayo. He thought it the duty of ‘and rich alike to serve the country. The men of wealth ought to be in the front of the armies. The policy of substitutes war a faise Hoy. He was G7 om to bounties and substitutes, thie policy bad adopted 1m 1861 we would Lave had oaly a twelve months’ war. Mr, Eomcnee, (rop.) of Vt., spoke against the bounty to many States, bis own among Mr. Dootsrrie, (rep. of Wis., offered a joint resoln- ton b epee Commissiouer of the General Land Office and the Commissioner of Pensions to report to the next Congress a plau for equalizing bounties in land warrants Ww be located along the of land om the lines of railroads.

Mr, Monnint avked Mr. Banks whether he had ever | tents, reported a bill allowi known a conference committe to yield ov a potut on which the House had expressed ita will by the almost unanimous vote of 120 to 4. Mr. Banks went on to «tate that the Senate committee had received instructions in pursuance of which it am- sented to the demand of the House on the question of bounty. Hebelleved that the provisions embodied would be entirely satisfactory to the friends of the bounty; that it was carefully drawn, and would be (ound to be just to the soldier and to the government, The second proposition related to the compensation of members. Theso were the only two propositions on which the Conference Committee had deliberated. It was not till within the very last moment, certainly within the last forty-five minutes, that he was called upon to decide, not on that question merely, but on the question whether there should be an agreement on the part of the Conference Committee, and his difficulty war increased from the fact that the House had boon a jong time waiting and that the limitation of the Senate was close at hand. He was compelled, therefore, to yield hiv judgment to the wishes of the Committee of Conferenve.
