The Adjournment ol Congress.
Congress adjourned on Saturday to the 3d
day of July next, at which time, if a quorum
be not present, an adjournment will be made
to the time of the regular meeting in December.
Several important measures were passed
during this session, among which are the Sup
plementary Reconstruction bill; the Joint
Itesolution for furnishing certain arms and
equipments to the State of Tennessee; Joint
Resolution for the relief of the destitute in the
Southern and Southwestern States; Joint
Resolution suspending all proceedings in rela
tion to payment for slaves drafted or received
as volunteers in the military service of the
United States; an Act to increase the force in
the Patent Office; and many others of minor
importance.
The wisdom of providing for this special
Session has been abundantly manifested. Had
it not been held, the great measure of recon
struction would have been left in a most con
fused and unsatisfactory condition. It has
now been perfected, and is being peacefully
and triumphantly put into operation.
The policy of providing for a session in July
is a wise one. In the present position of pub
lio affairs, it is well that the opportunity
should be afforded to the law-making branch
of the Government to interfere, if necessary.
By July we shall be enabled to see whether
the Reconstruction bill is being executed in
good faith. If not, Congress can apply the
remedy.
Despite all the maledictions that have been
heaped upon this and the last Congress by
unscrupulous partisans and reckless dema
gogues, the record of their acts will stand in
history as their complete justification. They
have mot a great crisis in the affairs of the
nation in the spirit of exalted patriotism and
rue statesmanship. They have rescued the
country from perils which threatened to en
gulf it in ruin. They have been faithful to
the great trust committed to them by the
people.
Our Purchase from Russia.
The treaty which was . communicated to the
Senate on Saturday by the President, and
which provides for the purchase of the Rus
sian American possessions for $7,000,000 in
gold, is one which is prospectively of great
advantage to the United States. We feel none
Of that enthusiasm which is inflating some of
Our contemporaries because of the immense
Size of the territory thus secured. The size
lias in the present case really very little to do
with the value, for while the property is five
times as large as the State of New York, its
only available portion coSild be easily placed
within the State of Connecticut. The reason
why we feel confident that the Senate will
ratify the treaty, is that we cut off an immense
portion of British America from the Pacific
Ocean, and make the acquisition of that por
tion still held by Great Britain certain at some
future day. The difficulty which occurred in
1853 in regard to the possession of Oregon is
still fresh in the popular mind, and we think
that we are really gaining what was lost to us
by treaty; for with America to the north
and America to the south, what is to hinder
us gaining that territory when we want to ?
The abandonment of the old cry of "fifty-four
forty or fight" will thus reflect no discredit on
the most enthusiastic advocates of American
dignity; and by shutting out from the sea all
of the British possessions, we do them an
injury and thus benefit ourselves. We think
that Sir Frederick Bruce had good cauje to
telegraph Lord Derby for instructions, aSf the
decision materially affects the value of that
part of our continent which belongs to Great
Britain'
. M. Jules Favre delivered a speech in the
recent Corpt Legxslatif that was almost revo
lutionary in its tone. He was continually in
terrupted by the President and the hirelings
from the Government benches. Among other
things, he stated that "the will of the Legisla
ture was reduced to the will of a single man,"
and characterized the foreign policy of the
Emperor as unworthy of France." The fact
that such freedom of debate was tolerated
argues either for the entire stability or insta
bility of the throne. Under the lead of Favre
and Thiers, the mutiny, though weak incum
bers, is a continual thorn in the side of the
Government.
Tub Mining Troubles Again. Additional
trouble is reported from Sullivan and Luzerne
counties with the miners, a portion of whom
Are on a strike, and attempting to force all
others to stop work. The engine-houses and
fixtures of some of the mines have been de
stroyed by fire. j
We fear that the legislation in regard to
these outrages is too much of the milk-and-water
order. These troubles have become
ohronio, and there is no way of subduing
them but by the strong hand. Leniency is out
or place with such men. It merely en
courages tnein to continue their disorder aud
violence. -i
Thb Sbrmok by the Kbv. Db. Nadal, de
livered yesterday at the Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church, will be found in full on our
Sixth page. The subject of this able dis
course, "Charity the Sum of Religion," is one
which should commend it to universal atten
tioa.
BKAtrR HOARD OK TUB RECONSTRUCTION Bll.tj.
General Beauregard, as will be seen from his
published letter In our columns, gives in. his
submission to the Military Reconstruction bill
lately passed by Congress. He thinks the suf
frage of the freedmen "an element d? strength
for the future." No doubt it will be; but it
will be an element of strength only for , those
who propose to do justice to them. It is a little
curious how kindl,y most of the Southern
leaders take to thil suffrage feature of the
bill, which is really the "great outrage" (if
there be any) in it. We hear no more non
sense about a "war of races," which used to
be harped upon so much.
The English ianouagb certainly has its lit
tle peculiarities. It may be riclin its expres
sions, but it occasionally looks rather complex.
The following title to a bill recently passed by
Congress reminds as of the old doggerel :
" Whether the crops will weather the weather.
Or whether It will crop the crops."
The lucid caption reads : .
' An act to amend an actf entitled An aat to
amend an act entitled "An net to Incorporate a
atlonal Military aDd Naval Asylum for the
relief of the totally disabled olllcers aud men of
the volunteer forces of the United Btates.'' ' ap
proved March 21, 18W."
The sentence is perfectly correct and allow
able, but it strikes us that such " an act " hath
more than three branches, "to act, to do, and
to perform."
Destruction of the Lindel Hotel. The
destruction by fire of the Lindel Hotel, in St.
Louis, is really a public calamity. It was the
largest andJnest structure of the kind in the
country, and one of the finest in the world.
The building of it was commenced nearly ten
years ago, and it was finished about the time
of the breaking-out of the war. It was a great
military resort during the war, and did a
splendid business. Its original cost was
$900,000, and it could not now be replaced, pro
bably, much under $1,500,000. It is doubtful
whether it will be rebuilt.
The Pat of Army Officers. A paragraph
that originally appeared in the New York
Tribune, and which is being extensively copied
in the newspapers throughout the country,
relative to the present pay of officers of the
army, gives a very exaggerated statement of
the amount of salary received by them. For
the purpose of correcting this error, the fol
lowing statement of the pay belonging to each
grade has been carefully prepared, and repre
sents the amount per annum received in each
grade after deducting the income .ax:
A general receives 816,465-10
A lieutenant-general 13,919-10
A niHjor-general 7,9o8-85
A brigadier-general -6,513'50
A colonel 3,0oM-20
A lieutenant-colonel 2.73470
A major 2,403-15
A captain, cavalry 1,909-15
A captain, foot 1.7SS-15
A first lieutenant, cavalry 1.53S-93
A first lieutenant, foot 1,5'27-10
A second lieutenant, cavalry 1,53,93
A tiecond lieutenant, foot 1,400-90
This includes the additional pay voted by
the Thirty-ninth Congress, which lasts for two
years from July 1, l0ti.
For every five years' service as an officer in
any grade an addition of $109-50 per annum is
made. Officers who are not on duty with
troops, or who are not furnished with quar
ters in kind, receive in lieu of them a certain
sum per month, which varies in different
localities. The amount is based upon the rate
of rent and the price of fuel.
About one-seventh of the officers of the
army, by the nature of their duties, receive
the latter allowance; and in a large majority
of cases it is found to be not an equivalent to
the quarters and fuel furnished by Govern
ment. National Intelligencer.

OAKDALE SKATING PARK AND PHYSI
CAL INSTITrTE OF PHILADELPHIA..
INOOBrOBaTED MARCH , 1807.
CAPITAL,
Ml((SMmltltl4leSi
140,000
Tbe title of this Institution Is very suggestive and
easily comprehended. It relates to physical culture,
expressly directed to the object 6f glvingstrengtb,
bealtb, and vigor to the bodily organs and powers.
It Is unnecessary to enter Into an elaborate dissnrta.
lion on tins subject. Its Rfsal importance has been
thetbeiae of scientific elucidation from time Immemo
rial, It lias been recommended by the press in
Amerlraand Europe; It has been urgently ailvocateil
bv tbe medical fuculty; and It must necewarlly
address tixelf at once to the common sense of man
kind generally.
Tbls Amoclatlon proposes to effect this purpose In
an extensive and attractive form, and therefore the
earnest attention of the people or Philadelphia is
solicited to give the project respectful consideration.
There are many thousands of residents In Philadel
phia who would enjoy health If they had the means at
hand to make physical lahor a pleasaul pastime. This
Is the object Which tbls Institution Is eipecially
organized to accomplish. To Individuals of sedentary
habits this orKaol.atiou must prove an Invaluable
blessing, and that person who assists In establishing II
will earn the proud title of henufucior of the human
race. It will be strictly founded upon ethics, and thus
contribute to elevate the standard ot a nroiniscuoas
people, and bring them under the rellned lullueuces of
moral society.
The 1'ark is located In tbe northwestern part of the
city.wlthlnashortdlstanceof private Improvements,
and It Is rapidly increasing In value. It formerly be
longed to the McMahon estate, mid In later years It
was known as the Uotanlcal Uarden of Bernard Duke.
Its original title, that ot Oakdale. has been restored
by Its present owner. It Is a well-shaded park, ex
tending from the township line to tne track ot the
Philadelphia, Uermnntown, aud Norriatown Railroad
Company in a soiithwestwardly aud somewhat dla-
fonal direction, from eanlol Kleventh street to wen or
hirteenth street, a distance of one thousand three
hundred leet. It is bounded on the north by Lehigh
avenue, and on the south by Cumberland aveuuo
Iluutlngdon avenue, a wide thoroughfare, upon which
Is erected tbe Episcopal Hospital, intersects its centre
at right angles with Twelfth street. The Park con
tains ten acres and uluety-two perches, with the privi
lege of one-half the township line road to a distance of
lour hundred and twenty feet eight Inches. To reach
it Is about ten mlnutes'.walk from the depots or tbe
Tenth and Kleventh Streets and Fourth aud Eighth
Streets Paasengor Railroad Companies.
Ills very probable that the tracks ortbose companies,
as well as those of the Thirteenth and Flfteouth Street
Company and North Broad Street Compauy, will be
extuuded to aud even north of the Park lu a very
short time. Private Improvements In the vicinity
will be pushed rerward with vigor during the coming
summer season. Tbe cars of the Philadelphia, Ger
mimtown, and Norrislowu Railroad Compauy pass
the Park, both up and down, and the establlshiug ol a
regular station here, which will be simply in accord
ance with tho progress ot Improvements and public
accommodation, will furnish additional facilities lor
reaching the Park trout northerly or southerly sec
tionsof tbe city.
The pre position of tbe Incorporators is to firmly
establish on this beautiful and historical place au
Institution that will add to the character or Philadel
phia for enterprise: a resort tor the people, where
thev luay enjoy mauy pleasant hours in healthrul
exercises that partake ot toe nature or social and
moral recreatlou , to be governed by a cods of laws
entirely consistent with those of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. It shall be a school for physical
culture, well arranged In all Its departments, as re- '
commended by the most eminent scientific gentle
man In Philadelphia. It is distinctly stated that it la
desirable to make this exclusively a Philadelphia
Institution, without lu parallel In the Unit d states:
soiut thing that stramrerH will visit unon arriving In
ibis city something that Phtladelphians may well
feel proud of.
SPBCiriCATION'S.
First. It Is proposed that a Skating "Rink" be esta
blished that will accommodate several thousand per
sons at one t'nie. This will be erected upon .he same
principle as those In Cauada,
be ooud. It Is proposed to arrange an artificial skat
ing lake to be used lu the spring aud autumn seasons,
when tne graceful exeroise ol saating may be con
sidered beneficial. This department will be entrusted
to celebrated artists, who will arrange It lu a style
that will be at once attractive, appropriate, and com
mendable. Tbe ordinary skates can be used on this
artificial lake at ail times lu the year.
Third. It Is proposed to establish an apartment
wherein parlor or wboel skates maybe used, so that
learners may enjoy this exercise at home, after
having obtained the requisite knowledge at tue Iustl-
'"pourth. Tbe skating "rink" of winter will bean Im
mense bathing basiu In summer, havlug a capacity
for accommodating a thousand persons at cue time.
In fresh water. Salt-water bathing, as strong as the
solution can be made, will also be introduced, if the
stockholders think It necessary. In this particular
branch everything will be arranged to meet the
JiK-t expectations ol the Datrons of the establishment,
so that they can enjoy all the healthful Influence of
trcsh or salt water immersion, without any annoy
ance whatever.
Fifth. An apartment will be arranged for gym
nastlo exercises, and all uew Inventions, appro
priately recommended, 'jt a purely scteniluc charac
ter, calculated to develope the organs and powers of
tbe hnman frame lu lad, all the requisites of the
gymnastic and acrobatlo schools, will oe established.
Sixth. Ample space will be appropriated tor base
ball and crlckelolube.
Seventh. A well-rolled and safely guarded road or
track for horses and vehicles will be prepared. This
road will be one-half of a mile In extent.
KlRhlh. There will be prepared a lake or shallow
water expressly appropriated to the use or the Juve
niles, similar to that in Paris aud other European
localities, where miniature boats may be sailed; thus
contributing to tbe pleasure of childhood's happy
hours In a species or rational sport that must neces
sarily be attended with gratifying results.
Ninth. Everything recommended by eminent Pro
fessors or Science will always receive respectful
consideration. If necessary, the institution will
en lame its dimensions, by and with the advice aud
consent of the stockholders, through their Board of
Directors, as authorized by the act of Incorporation,
which permits the capital to be Increased to tweuly
thousand shares.
The Intrinsic value of tbe Park, with Its presant Im
provements, is seven ty-hve thousand dollars. It Is
proposed to tlx Its nominal value at oue hundred thou
sand dollars, and lsae ten thousand shares ot stock at
tan dollars per shure. Twenty-live thousand dollars
or this amount, under the direction ot ths stock
holders, will be appropriated to perfect the improve
ments In order to effect the above-mentioned objects,
thus bringing the real value of tbe Park up to the l ull
amount of the capital. It Is carefully estimated thai
the receipts of the Institution will yield above all Its
expenses at least six per cent, for the first year upon
every dollar of Investment; and tnough tbls should
not be the case, tbe stockholder of even a single share
will have the satisfaction ot knowing that he has
helped to form and build up a permanent organization
that must be of necessity a cleaning to the community,
and eventually pay a handsome dividend. The solid
? round of Oakdale Para guarantees a perfectly safe
vestment at once, with the prospect, almost reduced
to a certainty, that every dollar thus invested will be
worth two dollars within three years. It Is not at all
unlikely that the stock will increase ten-told in less
than ten years. ....
Therefore it will be seen that tbe holder or one share
or siock. which will cost only ten dollars, will very
likely realize one hundred dollars tor the same In the
space of ten years, perhaps lu less time. There are a
lew publlc-splriied gentlemen lu Philadelphia who
would Invest to tbe full extent required, but the
owner of the Park desires to arrange the prelimina
ries so that each or a large number ot cluzeus may
have an equal opportunity oi investing, even at so
limited an amount as the price or a single share,
thereby creating a more general or wide-spread inte
rest In the Institution than It its affairs should be oon
liued to a small number or Individuals. Tbe share,
holders will have a voice In perfecting the organiza
tion, and their Instructions will be recognized and
carried into effect by the Board or Directors or Man
agers whom they may select.
This Is no wild speculation; It Is not chimerical,
like many of the coal oil organizations; It Is not as In
substantial us gift opera bouses, or gift anything else,
but it Is a perlectly safe Investment In unincumbered
real estate, located In a valuable and rapidly im
proving part of ths city ot Philadelphia. The Incor
porators, In a lew days, will be ready to Issue the
stock. T he time and place will be duly annouiiced
to the public by circulars, and through the medium of
the newspapers ot the olty.
There will be distributed In different localities of
this city a number of circulars, each containing a
copy or tbls prokptctus, with space allowed for the
rt-o rdliig or the names and residences of persons
wliO wish to subucrlho lo the capital stock, stating
tbe number ol shares desired. The circular will state
the date when the returns may De made, and the
place to which they may he sent, or where applica
tion maybe made lu peisou. The circulars will be
distributed In one day. so that the opportunity ot
oblulnlng the slock at Uipur value will ilapeud upon
the promptitude of tbe subscribers. Any person
who may not receive a copy of tbe cir
cular, and who desires to Invest, may send
a written letter oontululng his or her name
and residence, stating tha number of shares desired.
Tbe time and place will be advertised lu the news
papers in which this prospectus appears. It Is sug
gested that parents may Invest In this enterprise, fur
the financial as well as physical beoefll of their cnli
dren. This method for disposing or the shares of
stock Is adopted as the best plainest, most satisfac
tory and easy to be understoou, i.i order to allow In
dividuals or limited means to subscribe. It must be
apparent to any individual who has the "lightest
kuowledge or pro-realve busiuess, that this stock
must speedily become enhanced. The owner of tbe
Park Is deteruilued lo start fair lu this enterprise,
leaving Ita Increased value to be based upon merit
alone, and to be realized by the subscribers.
