The Week.

The article presents socio-political news, related to the United States. The Legislative Appropriation Bill, as passed by the U.S. Senate, was, in spite of sundry objectionable amendments, accepted by the House on Friday, and has gone to U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes for his action upon it. On the same day the Senate by 34 to 12 passed the measure popularly known as the Yellow Fever Bill, but strictly to be designated as " a bill to prevent the introduction of contagious or infectious diseases into the United States," which was the occasion of a very interesting debate. The report of the Assembly committee on the Brooklyn Bridge is a, rather inconclusive document. They report that the bridge when finished will obstruct vessels with masts more than one hundred and thirty feet in height; or, in other words, that many sailing vessels will have to lower their topmasts in order to pass it.
