His illness is some heart disease, probably the remote effect of his old blow. The doctors say the only policy is rest; the more he'll take, the better health, and the better chance of life prolonged. sion immediately following the regular session, when (the House not being in session) it is not encumbered with the duties of ordinary legislation Mr. Cameron secured action on all but one of the treaties at the session of Congress meeting March 4, 1871, when general legislation, except as to the condition of affairs in the Southern States, was excluded by rule; so that there was ample time for the consideration of treaties, as there is at special sessions of the Senate when the House is not
