Congre clocd on Sntnrrtay Us long, labo- riouB. una comparatively unfruitful session. It hoc worked hard urnl accomplished little. It has spent eight months nihil operose agendo It had at the outset an overwhelming Union malorlty, which was btlll further increasod from time to time by ousting Democrats whose seats were contested by Reoublieans admitted in their stead. This majority, at no time thoroughly nited in sentiment, whs ncverttielem h;ir Bionious In its atlirniative action, but proved unequal to the enactment either ol such laws a ine puouc groou required, or ot such as the zealot of faction demunded. While this Con gress, therefore, has done less than was ex pected ol good, ijt bus also doue less o( evil than was feared. No Congress ever met under weiehtier responsibilities or with a broader field tor permanent and transcendent useful bc?j if It has not proyert fuilv equal t-J the emergency, it has still leit the paiu compara tively nneuciinilxred for its successor. The Thirty ninth Congress was elected during the final struggles of the nntion against the Rebellion. Naturally enough, it bore the murk of that closing contest. The natiou roused itselt lor the supreme effort; it sumtnoni'd to the rescue all the patriotic passion, the lervid zeal, the enthusiastic und uncanqucmble determina tion ot the trreat body of the American peopk-. The country decided anew, and once for ail, in November, 1S04, that the Rebellion should be put down by lorce; and it elected a President, a Vice-President, and a Congress pledged by their principles, their history, and tueir charac ters to prosecute the war to the complete accomplishment of that great end. lint the end was attained before the new Administration assumed the power to which H thus succeeded. The war closed by the overthrow ol the li'bds, and tneir unconditional surrender in April, 1865 and it thus happened that upon a Government, chocn, in both its Executive and legislative departments, to prosecute a gigantic war, de volved the responsibility of restoring peace. Tne fiery temper aud hot resentments so well adapted to the first ot these great duties, were in themselves scarcely conducive to the other; and it is not surprising that dilliculticsof a very formilable character should have revealed themselves during the progress of the work. Long rielore the war had closed President Liu coin had foreseen the necessity 01 preparing tor peace, and ot restoiimr the Rebel States to tbeir practical relations to the Federal Government. Mo had decided upon the appointment of Pro visional Governors, by whom the machinery ot State Governments should again be set in motion, aud had used the power ot amnesty aud pardon vet-ted in him by the Constitution, as the means of creating a bais of voters for that purpose. Upon his death, President Johnson, continuing his Cabinet had also continued his policy, and during the en suing summer had restored local Governments in ail the Rebel States, secured free and com plete acquiescence in the issue ol the war. reopened courts ot justice, restored to the mass of the people, upon compliance with the terms he i'tid a riebt to prescribe, the fundamental right of sull'racv, and laid the busds lor a speedy restoration of the Union and the complete re establishment of the atitdontv of the Constitu tion overall the Srates and Territories ot tne United Stutt s. Nothina remained but the read mission ot the representatives Iroui those States to their seats in Congress, under such regula tions and restrictions as the 6afety ot the nation might require; aud this du'v and responsibility devolved solely and exclusively upon the t'o llou!-esof Congress. When Congress met in December it was found that a very sharp and determined hostility to the restoration policy ot President Lincoln, a developed by his suecesor, had sprunar up in the midst ot the Union party, and had beeu so organized and disciplined in advance as to be ready for instant action. It rested upon the idea that the Southern Hates were conquered provinces the Soiunern people conquered sub led the property ot Uie South lawful spoil of war that the right ot representation, aud all other constitutional richts, privileges, and im munities, had been forieited by the btntes which enyaeed m the Rebel.ion, and that tho power of Congress over all these riirhts and posses sions was absolute and supreme to be exer cised solely in its own discretion, aud upon urmsand conditions which it alone had the right to prescribe. Tho right was claimed for a Congress, in which only the loyal States should be represented, to reconstruct the Government and Constitution ot the United States; and the determination to do this, in opposition to the Kxecutive policy of restoration ol the Union and Constitution, already maueurated aud in the lull tide of success, was avowed at the very out set ot the session. The first step taken was the appointment of the Joint Committee on Reconstruction, into whose hands each House of Coucress surren dered its richt or admitting members to seats, by lointly resolving that no member should be admitted into either, until the Committee had reported and both IIouse3 should have taken final action upon its report. The rest of the session was spent by the Committee in taking testimony touching the condition ot the Southern States, the temper ot their poople, the details of crime, the action of magistiates, and the general character and tendency of their alMis. No member from any Southern State was admitted or even allowed to bring his credentials to the notice and ludirmcnt of either House, as thev were at once 6ent to the Committee on Rocon- I etruction. The local State Governments already in operation at the fcouth were ignored com munications from the Governors elected by their people, under authority of the Provisional Governors appointed by the President, being refused a hearing cr even a reception. Mean time bills were introduced and relerred to com mittees, for erecting territorial governments in the Southern States ; for conrlscatiug the real estate and other property ol the t-'outhern people: lor annulling the action of the President in granting pardons; lor excludina irora the exercise ot political rights the great mass ot the Southern people; for dividing amou? the enfranchised slaves the lauds of the Southern planters; tor conferring the elective lranchise upon the colored people of the Southern States, and generally for accomplishing all such changes m the structure of our Government and the condition or the people iu tho whole South, as the authors of these measures respec tively found most consistent with their ideas of a perfect model republic. Numerous amend ments of the Constitution, some of them of the most sweeping character, were presented and pressed upou the action of Congress and the attention of the country. Resolutions were adopted holding the Southern Slates under ab solute military rule duiimr tho pleasure ol Con fess, and the general scope ot all the attempted action of thai body was to concentrate ouprerae power over the states in the Federal Govern ment, aud an power in that Government in the bancs of Congress. It was soon found that the President did not assent to tho theiv upon which all these mea suies rested, aud tat he would oppose whatever power the Constitution gave him to their execu tion. He first vetotl a bill continuing the Freedman'g Bureau Uready existing as a mea Bure ot temporary retet - for ,n indefinite period, with powers very greatly enlareed, at an annual expense of from thirty to forty millions to the public treasury, and ctathluK the Execu tive with an enormous accession of public pa tronage. This veto was sustaiutd. by Congress, but encountered vehement deuumUtion tn that bodv, and among; its supporters throughout the nation, lie next vetoed a bill conferring on .federal officer Absolute .authority e,-T TOE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. MILADELPIIIA, TUESDAY, State Courts, punishing with Cne and imprisonment State iudges and other oflicials for the execution of State laws in conflict with its provisions, and forbid din? any discrimhtatiou, in civil rights, among inhabitant' iu any State. This Civil Kitrnts bill was passed against the veto, which was based on grounds of its alleged conflict with the Constitution. Thereupon the President was denounced and treateo as having abandoned the Union party, and in league with the Rebels ot the Southern State ; a.id from that time tor ward the time and utteutlon of Coneress were mainly devoied to warfare upon the Kxecutive department of the Govern ment, and to the prosecution with renewed Zeal ot its measures tor reconstructing the Union upon the broad basis of universal stillrHge in the Southern State, without regard to race or color, as the essential condition of readmission to the right of representation iu Coucress. Without going Into further detail inreenrd to its actton, it is sufficient to say that in all these attempts at reconstruction upon a basis of Its own Congress failed. It passed no billot con fisca'lon; none tor lenoring or superseding the local Governments ol the Southern States; none for oieaniziiig territorial governments upon their soil; none for disfranchising their white people, nor tor contemmr the right ot sutlrage on the colored race. All that it did on tne nbiectol reconstruct ion was to submit to the several StaUs an amendment of the Constitu tion, embodying (1) an equality of civil rights, (2) Federal representation based subslant ally upon voters instead of nonulation. (31 excluding from oflicc certain ciases ot Rebels, (4) declar ing the public debt inviolable, and tor bidding payment lor emancipated slaves, and to; giving tongress power to carry these provistoi.s into eilcct. And while tnese enipnfiincn's are indorsed bv Conaress as in thenifcclves iust and desirable, their adon- ton is not mad. requisite as a condition of readmission to representation in Congress, 'out that matter Is left odcd. as heretoiore. tn tli constitutional d'.pcreifon of each House. And one practical step towards restoration has been taken in the admission of members into both branches of Conaress from the Stite of Tennes see each House acting lor itself upon tacts presented and not under nny terms imposed as conditions precedent, nor upon any theory which denied the existence of Tennessee as a Stae in the Union, and upon a footing of equal lichts and equal dignity with all the other States. 11 cannot be denied, therefore, that in spite of its exclusion ot these States Irom Congress an exclusion maintained throughout, the session, and broken at latt only in tne case of Tennessee Coucress has lailed lojsaixtion any theory ut war with that ot the Lxecutive denartmeiit of the Government, or to give practical eilcct to any pian ot reconstruction no?tiie to that policy of restoration proposed by the President, of Humming loyai representatives iroin loyal States whenever thev Diesent themselves for admission ;t policy at once more simple aud effectual, and lar more in conformity with the spirit and letter ol the Constitution. In spit" of the Ftrcnuous and determined efforts of th extreme men who obta.iie i at tho outset a lead ing authority in the Union party, and notwith standing their apparent control ot it action upon questions ot theory, and upon general and comparatively unimportant poiLts, they could never bring it up, in the dual test, to sanction ing, the pmctlcal measures by which they sought to carry their theories into eU'cct. The wort of restoration is thus lett incomplete. Con gress has failed to respond tn the tirst expecta tions oi tne country in tnis regard, and bus lett to a future session one oi the most obvious and mportant ot the outies devolved upon it. The action ot Congress upon other great ques tions which were luirly before it has been scarcely more complete or satistactory. it has passed new law ot internal taxation, bv which some important industrial interests are seusibly relieved without impairiag the public revenue. it impose? an excise ol tliree cents a pound on cotton and two tlollars a gallon on wbislty, while clothing and many other other articles of indispensable utility are relieved altogether, or i ne tax upon tnem is greatly tightened. Jt has tailed in revising the tariff 'upn imports. mauuy uecause it was too mucn under tne control ol special interests to enact a law equal and just iu iis operation. It has to some exfeut equalized tho bounties paid to the soldiers of the war, and has reorganized the array so as to meet the most oresiug wants of the country. The House made a frenzied and rather foolish bid lor Irish votes bv attempting to repeal the Neutrality laws in the Fenian merest, but lailed to secure the conc urrence of the Senate, and our lore'gn relations remain untouched. It has given awnv to railroad and other corporations some hundreds of millions of acres of the public lands, und has thus still lurther diminished what, with proper care. would have beeu an inexhaustible land for the redemption of the public debt, and the payment ot the expenses ot the Government, it has increased the pavinent ot its own members from $Ii(J00 to $5000 per annum, but has very nearly equalized the aggregate expense of its sessions by reducing, their mileage from 40 to 20 cents per mile, thus rcduc'ng the aggregate paid tor mileage from 8420,000 to a little over $'200,000. Its general action in mat ters of expense has been lav.fh where party interests were involved, and its general tem per throughout the session has indicated a pretty close regard tor securing the supremacy ol the Union party in the niture. But the tone oi its debates has been courteous, elevated, and much mere tree Irom partisan acrimony nnd personal bitterness than usual. Roth tne lan guage and action of the Democratic portion of both Houses have been marked bv a hist and lair regard lor the interests of the'nation, and have indicated a patriotic purpose to consult the weltare of the country rather than the mere promotion ot party success. Many Congresses have done more to meet the necessities of the time, but none for roanyytjars has beu more iree from the rancorous and reckle.s partisan ship which has sometimes done grievous dis credit to our character, as well as indicted serious injury nnon our interest, than that which has just closed iis first and longest ses sion. Henry J. Ravmond. The Treaty of Peace. from the IribuiK. Telegraphs have always been classed among the chief apostles of peace and peaceful pro gress, and it will, therefore, be regarded as a remarkable coincidence that on the first day of our telegraphic communion with the Old World we receive the news that a treaty of peace had been signed between Austria and Prussia. The information convejed by tho telegraph is, of course, meagre; but it Is sufficiently definite to leave no doubt that Austria has acceded to all the chiefs demands of Prussia. We are not yet tully informed about all these demands, but we know from official aud semi official declarations of the Prussian Government that the most essential condition of peace Is the withdrawal of Austria from the German Confederation, which will now be reconstructed under the sole and undisputed lend of Prussia. It is equally certain that Prussia will now keep the two Duchies of Scbleswig and Holstein, whether as a Prussian proviuce or under toe semblance of seuii-independence remains to be seen. Moreover, semi-official Prmslao papers have declared, in accordance with the opimoa expressed by Louis Napoleon in bis letter to Droujn de Lhuys, that Prussia must insist on having the western and the eastern portions of the kingdom perma nently connected. We have to wait for later accounts t know if this rectification of fron tier is to be etfected by means ot annexation or by exchange of provinces. We are, on the other hand, assured that Prussia was not to claim the cession ot Boheula an 1 Moravia, and as the ground ot this restriction tbe non-Germau character ol their population is adduced. Such a ground seems to suggest that Prussia might desire the annexation, or at least the reparation from Atibtr.a, ot those provinces which are purely German, m Upper aad Lower Austria and Salfcuunr. It i, however, probable that, having obttuued the chief end ot hr ambition, Pruisa wiUiiot uasuit on dewandiug auj Aus trian territory, but leave the fate of the Ger mans of Anstria to be melded by the future. However this question may be settled, thetrl amphof Prussia is complete. Wha'everthe nomi nal relation of the smaller German states in the reconstructed Confederation may be, virtually the new Confederation, with us population ot over 40,000,000 of people, will tic Identical with Prussia, which henceforth will not be sscond in 'power and influence to any of the great European powers. The Atlantic Cable. From the Daily Newt. Peace has achieved its great victory. The laurels of the hosts of battle pale In the pre sence of the majesty and beuetlcence ot intel lect and labor ennobled by the consummation of the grandest enterprise that the brain of man has conceived, and his hands have created. Even while war was shaking the foundations of empires aud convulsing the political spheres of a contim nt, the divinity of peace was iolning the Old World and New at the altar of civiliza tion. And, as a happy omen tor the future, the first flashes of life turough the iron veins of this new creation in the world of science and indus try tell the glad tidings that old Europe trem bles no more beneath tho shock of hostile armies. TLe Prussian has paused at the gates of Vienna; tbe kings aud Kaisers and their mar shalled hosts on the embattled plain have hushed the din of arms, as if conscious that there has been accomplished a triumph so glorious in the cause of enlightenmpni that the God who traces the paths of progress seemed to cry shame upon their agencies' of desolation and destruction, and to rebuke them by reveal ing the true mission of power and ambition upon eaith. The successful laying of the Atlantic cable may well, indeed, awaken the pride and joy ot those who, with rare perseverance and energy, have puisued thoeuterprise through failure and discouragement to its final success. It is an occasion lor the nations to celebrate with earnest thanksgiving, not only for its material results, but lor the moral Influences that it promises to extend. As a convenience to com mercial communities its importance cannot be overestimated. It will lessen the risKs of com mercial adventure, and enable capital to launch in the sta of foreign enterprise with a sense of security hitherto unknown. Thus, Irom the greater confidence inspired by a more complete review of foreign markets, a new he and impulse will be given to trade, and the merchant will buy or sed nt transatlantic marts with as little danger from fluctuations a? when he deals with a neighbor acro.-s the counter. In the uninterrupted oaily intercourse that will be held between this and European coun tries, theie wili graduallybe established a mutual appreciation ol habits and customs, a know ledge ol character and a sympathetic relation ship (hut cannot fail to be morally beneficent aud conducive to general international friend liness. Linked by the wondrous currents of thought speeding across the ocean's bed, the ties ot amity -will grow stronger Irom day to day, and the people, though sundered by tbe wuste of waters, will become neighbors in feel it:g, through tbe daily interchange of sentiment and intelligence. Diplomatic complications and political mis understandings will be less frequent aud more easily adjusted. International disputes are otten founded upon trivial causes, but become aggravated by erroneous impressions, while the popular temper is inflamed by misconception of theories or misrepresentation ot (acts, lint our Government and people being in constant com munication with the powers of Europe, will at least understand the position of each upon all questionsthatmayari.se; and Irom the simple tact thnt views may be interchanged at the very moment when an emergency may arise, ques tions ot difficult adjustment will be less likely to occui, and we shall avoid the danger of stum bling into an antagonism through ignorance or niisconsiructiou of facts aud motives. People who shake hands every morning, and pass the compliments of the day, gradually grow to like each other, and to put up with each other's prejudices : and as we shall have an opportunity to shake hands every., morning, electiically, with our friends across the water, there is every reason to believe that lnendsbip nnd gooa-will w ill be enhanced by the habitual greeting. A welcome, a hearty welcome to the mighty monster ot the deep, that Irom its slimy bed stretches its head upon our snores, armed with tbe lightning's toneue, to tell us tales from a far oil land. A gieater wondei than the leviathan from whose vast bosom it uncoiled its wondrous Jtugth, it enters upon its mission, not to destroy, not to ravage aud make desolate, but as the servant of mankind in the great work ot pro gress, in the righteous search for knowledge, in tbe building-up of the fabric of enlightenment within which, in God's good time, humanity shall be sheltered from ignorance and oppres sion. Through this obedient and fuithful inter preter let us talk to the multitudes of Europe of lreedoni. Let us teach them the blesing3 and the glories ot sell-government. Let us make them lannliar with our republicanism ; but tirst let us he sure that we have the true ewel to show them, and not a worthless counterfeit. SADDLES AND HARNESS.
