From the St. Paul Cllobe.

You c-a-n-t ninke it Mr. Norwood. It is thought now that congress will adjourn sometime in September. It is a graye question whether the mess* hers themselves, or the people are most tired of the prolonged session. Senator Aldrich, who has charge of the tariff bill in the Senate, a.ter secur ing an agreement with the democrats to that effect, moved, yesterday, to close the general debate on the vexed tariff question, on the 1st of Septem her.
