The Thiityninth Congress.
The Thirty-ninth Congress has booome a thing
of hiatorj. Called into being by the suffrages
of a loyal people during the last year of the
late great war, it has been obliged to face the
most momentous and difficult questions ever
committed to the settlement of a legislative
body. Elected upon tho name ticket with our
late boloved President, Abraham Lincoln, it
found, when it assembled In 18G5, a strange
and unparalleled state of affairs. Mr. Lincoln
had been sent to his grave by the bullet of an
assassin nearly seven months before. In the
interim his successor, discarding the princi
ples of the martyred leader, and without con
sulting the Representatives of the people, had
undertaken to reconstruct the Southern States
according to his own crude notions, and by his
own puny fiat to settle the mighty questions
growing out of the great struggle and revolu
tion through which the nation had passed.
The Congress of the United States, for the
first time in our history, found its constitu
tional authority as the law-making branch of
the Government denied, and the Executive
claiming to settle the most momentous national
issues by his own mere wilL And it found
this extraordinary claim made to support a
plan of reconstruction which placed the Gov
ernments of the Rebel States in the hands of
the very men who had just been defeated in
their attempts to overthrow the Government,
and which deprived the nation of the just
fruits of its dearly bought victories over the
enemies of the country. The claim was one
which involved the destruction of the Consti
tution by virtually changing the form of our
Government; the policy in behalf of which this
claim was made, wa3 one that would have
made the nation's vast expenditures of life and
resources so much blood and money wasted
in a vain and fruitless endeavor.
Congress met the usurpations of the Execu
tive in a spirit worthy of the Representatives
of a free people. Its first great work was to
vindicate its own authority as the only consti
tutional law-making power in tho Govern
ment. At every step it met the determined
hostility of the usurping Executive. Every
measure it devised for the protection of the
people and for the proper government of the
country was met by a veto. All the appli
ances of power and pl.tce were lavishly used
to seduce members from their integrity. Not
withstanding all this, Congress, besides the
ordinary legislation, passed at its first session
those two great measures of public freedom
and order the Civil Rights bill and the Freed-
men's Bureau bill, besides submitting to the !
leveral States an amendment to the Constitu
tion covering a proper plan of reconstruction.
The approaching elections furnished an
occasion for once more appealing to the
people. IIow magnificently that appeal was
responded to has already become a part of
our history. Reinforced by this direct popu
lar indorsement, Congress returned to its
labors last December, and immediately com
menced preparations for a more thorough
work of reconstruction, should the Constitu
tional amendment be rejected. It also began
to prepare for those measures of protection
to the country which the threatening atti
tude of the Executive had rendered noees
sary. Meanwhile the Southern communities
having contemptuously rejected the generous
terms of reconstruction offered by Congress,
a new and more complete measure was
matured, passed by both Houses, and on
Saturday last triumphantly repassed over the
President's veto, so that it is now the law of
the land. Thus the power and authority of Con
gress over this great question were at last
fully vindicated.
The passage of the Tenure of Office bill, and
of the bill establishing impartial suffrage in
the District of Columbia, both over the veto of
the President, were additional popular tri
umphs which will lend lustre to the Thirty
ninth Congress. In regard to all the great
issues upon which it was elected it proved
itself faithful, incorruptible, and successful.
We are not unaware that the failure of the
Tariff bill is highly deplored by a large por
tion of the community. This we must
ascribe, however, to the tremendous stress
put upon Congress in its contest with the
Executive upon the all-absorbing political
Issues of the hour, rather than to any want of
regard for the interests of our national in-
Ar,atrv. The constant necessity oi Having a
two-thirds majority upon all important ques
tions necessarily delayed legislation and pro
longed discussion. A large majority of Con
gress was in favor of increased protection, but
the .diversity of interests to be consulted
finally threw the bill into a position where a
minority could and did defeat H. ve ut
doubt, however, that out of this temporary
defeat will grow a wiser and juster tariff.
Taking an impartial and comprehensive
fiurvev of the momentous questions which the
rn.Si.Timh f!nnprRs had to deal with, the
illii.J D
tremendous difficulties H nau io tawuuwi,
and the grand victory it finally achieved for
the Constitution and for popular rights, we
but anticipate the verdict of history when we
assign it to a position second to that occupied
by no other legislative body since the founda
tion of tue Government.
Je8 Miserable."
We published recently, in our local columns,
an abstract of the first annual report of
the "Citizens' Association of Pennsylvania. "
The subjects discussed in this dooumont are
of such vital importance to tho whole commu
nity, that they doserve more than a passing
notice. The object of the Association, ex
pressed in a word, is the prevention of misery
and crime; and to enable its members to
accomplish this, they are authorized to attempt
the reformation of Inebriates, paupors,
vagrants, and criminals of all sorts. Tho
blind, as well as tho deaf and dumb, are like
wise t some extent cmbracod withiu tho scope
of their operations.
A glanoo at tho figures embraced in the re
port wil show how groat and pressing a neces
sity there is for active exertion on tho part
of such an institution. The records of our
own State with reference to the numbors and
condition of criminals and dependants, are too
meagre and too unreliable to bo of any service
as tho basis of a calculation of their probable
aggregates. The report, therefore, has re
course to tho abundant data afforded by tho
official records of the State of Massachusetts,
assuming that the proportions of the sevoral
classes of criminals and dependants to the
entire population is about tho same iu the two
States. This assumption, if it varies at all
from the truth, in all probability renders the
estimates too low. Taking them as the mini
mum, however, we have within the limits of
the Commonwealth:

This gives a grand total of about one hun
dred and twenty-two thousand, which, esti
mating the present population of the State at
3,670,000, shows that one person out of
thirty is dependent upon the rest of the com
munity either for support or correction. In
bettering the physical and moral condition of
this vast multitude, there is abundant work
for a hundred institutions such as the Citizens'
Association.
Thus far the Association have chiefly
directed their inquiries into the causes of in
temperance, and endeavored to devise the most
effective cure for it. In selecting this as the
starting point for their labors, they have
chosen wisely. The intemperate use of
spirituous liquors is tho primal source of one
half of all the wretchedness and of three
fourths of all the crime with which humanity
is cursed. It is, moreover, a never-failing
fountain, whose loathsome stream keeps
even pace with tho increase of population, and
is perpotually renewed by tho lapse of time.
It is more devastating than warfare, more
perilous than famine, more destructive than
the plague. Immorality, avarice, and violence
fo-low it as close attendants; misery alone is
left to mark its path.
To cure intemperance is a difficult task; to
prevent it in the first place would be far wiser,
but to do this is even more difficult. The at
tempt to exorcise the demon by legislation
to prevent drunkenness by closing all places
where spirituous liquors are sold, has proved
a signal failure wherever it has been made.
The most that can be done by the law-making
power is to so restrain the traffic that its more
obnoxious featuros shall be in some measure
obviated, or, if possible, altogether removed.
The true remedy for the evil is the elevation
of the moral sentiment of the community; the
substitution of a proper and harmless taste for
a depraved and ruinou3 one. This fact the
Association recognize ; and the course they
have marked out is in accordance with its
teachings. The cure of intemperance in indi
vidual cases is, therefore, the starting point
which they have selected. A large farm, in a
retired and healthy locality, and easy of access
to tho city, has been purchased, and on this it
is proposed to erect tho buildings which will
be required in tho furtherance of their reforma
tory labors. Hitherto, in every institution of
this kind, the inmates have all been congregated
in one or more large buildings, where the
privacy of the household is frcm necessity un
known. Whatever of shame ia attached to am
inmate, whether voluntary or involuntary, of
a reformatory institution, is therefore suffered
to rankle in his heart, to the positive hin
drance of his thorough reformation. To obviate
this drawback upon the ease and efficiency of
their labors, the Association have determined
to erect a nmber of small cottages, varying
in size so as to afford accommodations for
families of from five to twenty members. These
can be erocted at an expense much less in
proportion than the amount which would be
swallowed up m buildings ot a larger ant more
massive character; besides which, all the com.
forts and appearances of a true hoirxj can be
thus secured, and such restraints on liberty of
person and habits as mny be necessary will be
less evident, and, therefore, less galling.
The report of the Association elaborately
reviews all the points upon wluah we have
touched, and presents, on the whole, the most
feasible scheme that has ever been devised for
the cure of intemperance and the alleviation
of the miseries which spring from it. We can
Int wish the Citizens' Association, in the good
work which they have undertaken, tlw
greatest and speediest success
Tub Bankrupt Bill. At last, thanks to Mr.
Jenckes, of Rhode Island, the Bankrupt bill
has passed both Houses, and is now before the
President. It was adopted in the House by a
majority of one. The Senate, strange to say,
concurred by a large vote. This most neces
sary of measures will doubtless receive the
Jiseoutive sanction, and in the future more
energy be infused into those whose only crime
was their nuafortuiiQ ia commercial ventures.
Rbvkrdt JoiiNsoti's Positiok. Tho Hon.
Roverdy Johnson made a powerful speech in
the Senate upon the passago of the Military
Reconstruction bill over tho resident's veto.
He said that there were many propositions of
law in that message that could not bo sus
tained, and many errors of judgment that
would be apparent upon examination. He
averred that Mr. Johnson and the late Execu
tive did not agree in their theories of recon
struction, and that many of the conditions
required of tho Rebel States by the present
Executive were as unconstitutional as any
thing which could be found in the bill. He
defended his previous vote for tho bill, and
the one he was about to give. Ho said that
he was informed by many loading men that
the Southern States would immediately pro
ceed to reorganize under this bill.
The position of tho distinguished Senator
from Maryland is that of a large class of tho
more modorato conservatives, who wish to see
this question finally settled, and who are
tired of following tho lead of a short-sightod,
bigoted, fanatical faction of extremists, who
have done nothing but opposo theGovornment
ever since the commencement of the great
struggle.
President Johnson's folly has not only con
solidated the Republican party against him,
but has reinforced that party's opposition by
the better elements of tho Democracy.
A Deserved Compliment. The unanimous
passage of a resolution of thanks to Mr. Speaker
Colfax, for the "dignified, courteous, and im
partial manner" in which he had discharged
the duties of his arduous position, was a well
merited compliment to one of the best Speakers
with which tho House has ever been blessed.
Any ono who has seen the manner in which he
ruled that most turbulent of representative
bodies, will bear his testimony to the efficiency
and popularity of the presiding officer. With a
rapidity to us incomprehensible he sums up
the merits of a point of order, and his decision
is always concurred in, not only by the Repub
licans but also by his Democratio opponents.
The vote of over 180 to 5 on an appeal shows
how he is sustained by the House, without dis
tinction of party. There is no doubt but that
he will be the Speaker of the Fortieth Congress,
a position to which he is called by all parties.
The present courteous and efficient Clerk, Hon.
Edward MiTherson, will also bo retained, there
being no organized opposition to his re-election.
Departed. At noon to-day the country,
through that ingratitude for which republics
are proverbial, lost the services of a public
servant eminently fitted, by his modesty, his
logic, and his large experience, to be the leader
of a respectable minority. The term of the
Honorable Andrew Jackson Rogers, of New
Jersey, expired at meridian. The records of
the House, however, will keep his memory
green. Whenever a factious opposition is to
be attempted, and some one needed to talk
against time, then will tho absent Rogers be
mourned by his Democratic associates. When
ever there is a silly point of order raised, or a
Bunsbvism cot off. the Honso will think nf
"Jack," and the remark be called a "Roger
ism." It is but another proof of the mistaken
views of the citizens of New Jersey, that they
should discard so faithful a public servant, so
learned a jurist, and so brilliant an ornament
to the State.
Wool. The bill which was passed by both
Houses in regard to the tariff on wool, was a
compromise between tho growers and the
manufacturers. It divided that article into
three classes, and taxed them variously, ac
cording to their ad valorem value. It gives,
we understand, general satisfaction to tho
wool men, although a higher duty would have
been acceptable to tho wool growers.
