     Note: In the Congress of the United States (which took the
           place of the Federal Congress, March 4, 1789), the
           Senate consists of two Senators from each State, chosen
           by the State legislature for a term of six years, in
           such a way that the terms of one third of the whole
           number expire every year; the House of Representatives
           consists of members elected by the people of the
           several Congressional districts, for a term of two
           years, the term of all ending at the same time. The
           united body of Senators and Representatives for any
           term of two years for which the whole body of
           Representatives is chosen is called one Congress. Thus
           the session which began in December, 1887, was the
           first (or long) session, and that which began in
           December, 1888, was the second (or short) session, of
           the Fiftieth Congress. When an extra session is had
           before the date of the first regular meeting of a
           Congress, that is called the first session, and the
           following regular session is called the second session.
