Prof. Bailey received this week a letter in regard to the Metric System Bill. The true status of the bill at present appears in the following extract: Metric Bill, after it had been passed by a small majority, was reconsidered and ultimately was referred back to the committee; it is now in the hands of the committee, and is likely to be brought up for consideration of the house sometime next fall; we hope for a favorable report in the fall. It is desirable, therefore, that between this time and when Congress assembles in the autum considerable work should be done in influencing the people, and through them the Congressmen, in favor of the Metric Bill.
