Mr. FESSENDEN. The Senfrom Indiana is a very much more fortunate man than Iain if at the present time he can fix a day which will be reliable on which we can adjourn. I am, of course, quite anxious to adjourn, as much so as any man. I think I ought certainly to be anxious to adjourn at as earl a day as possible'; but in the present state of the business we cannot tell anythin about it. In the 1st place, the Senate will observe that the Army bill is not finished; the legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation bill is not finished; the Indian appropriation bill has n of been reported; the miscella neous or sundry civil expenses appropriation bill has not yet been reported to the HoRep, and the tariff bill has not yet been reported to the House, all of which will take considerable time I do not know how much in that body certainly, and in this. Then there is the tax bill, which has not yet been acted upon by the Senate. It is impossible to say how long it will take. I hope we shall be able to get through with it in 3 days, and I think we on ht to do so; but my experience satisfies me t iat there is no possi bility of determining beforehand how long a bill of this kind will take. A debate springs up n on some little matter that is of interest. local y and not generally, and hours of the Senate are spent in discussing that; and when it gets to 5 o’clock Senators are always very anxious to adjourn, and I am one of them in the present state of things; and they are averse to meeting in the evening, and to do so would be really more than we could do consistently with our health. I know it is more than I can do. I should be veryglad to be relieved from the whole matter if could. Then, after this bill passes the Senate it will 0 to the HoRep, and when it gets there there will be, probably, according to the usual course, ageneral refusal to concur in our amendments and the appointment of a committee of conference, and that committee always sits several days upon bills of this description. At present, then, although I am exceedingly anxious to get through, and believe that if we content ourselves with talking very little and working a good deal we may et through by the middle of uly, we cannot tel on what precise day in July we shall be able to adjourn. it is now impossible to tell, and I am unwilling at this ear y day to fix the time, because then entlemen will be apt to forget thatthe day is xed and spend so much time in debate that a vast deal of business will be crowded into the last few days of the session, and we shall be obliged to sit late at night in order to get through, and then there will e danger of bad legislation. The ComFinance, therefore, have come to the conclusion, so far as I understand their opinions on the subject, that until we dispose of 2 or 3 more measures, or get further along so as to see when they will be finally through, it is impossible to fix a day of adjournment with any certainty or safety. I hope, then, that the Senate will not agree to the motion made by the Senfrom Indiana.
