Tai last session of the Fortieth Congress o-mi-menoes to-day, and bat three mouth rein!n for it to finish its work sad prepare the w for its saooessor. The present fte-sioa, although short, is not unimportant, and a number of matters require the earnest atten tion of the members, who will kiep thiu fully employed until tae 4 h of Mtroh. Tue endorsement of the Ciugressionil polioy iu the late elections ought t. put an eud to the quarrel between the x-uuuve au I the legUl i tlva branohes of the Uivtruuieut, and let m hope that Mr. Johnson has etill eaongli wis dom left him to accept the con letnnstton of b'n course so decidedly prouoanued by the pe pi; that he will cease from fur her oppoiiti m, and will assist in getting the all tirs of the (J jvoru ment in good order for the ai.edsiou of Oaaa ralQrant. Mueh may be done by Uongre-u (a thiee months to perfect the BuhHin-t of recoa- ! struolioD, and plaue all the rt?lit.llio n Suiei I In their old relation to the Gtverutnt. j This wonld be a proper oomplotiou of the 1 arduous task they hire had on haul, anl the j Fortieth Congress coul 1 dissolve with au a- j snranoa that its work was dona, and well j done. One of the subjects that should engage the attention of Congrens during the bu rt Session is the reformation and, if possible, the purification of the civil servi-je, aud to this end the bill proposed by Mr. Jenukoa, or one Similar in its provision-), should engage their early attention. Ouly by some snob, system cam a stop be put to the frauds and corruption that now take millions of dollars yearly from the treasury. General Grant will doubtless make an effort to put good men in ofIidd anl he ought to hare the assistance of Congress in making our civil service a credit, and not a disgraoe to the nation. We hope that the last hours of the Fortieth Congress will be devoted to earnest, conscientious work with as little talking about it as possible, aud, although the time ds short, much may be done for the per manent benefit of the country if the members are in earnest. The Gerald Baton Case. Mb. F t7BifAN Shepfard, onr new District Attor. ney, is entitled to oommendation for the efll oient manner in which he has pushed the trial and proonred the oouvlotion of Gerald Baton for the murder of Timothy Ileenan. This is the first important case that Mr. Sheppard has had, in his new official position, and we hope that he will continue as well as he has begun, bo that when his term of office expires he oan point to his record and show that out, of a long catalogue of rogues, vagabonds, and ruffianly murderers he has convicted so many; that he has not merely hurried to the gallows a parcel of imbeciles and halt IlloU for the sake of creating a sensation aud win ning a fiotitious reputatioa for energy au 1 efficiency; but that, without fear, fa for, or partiality ke has endeavored to have justice swift and sure meted out to ruffi yj3 who in fest the community. The supposed political Influenoe of such men as Eaton aud liU friends has hitherto been sufficient to alio them to esoae unwhipt of justice. Lt us hope that there is an eud of this sort of thing now, and that we have a District Attorney who prefers rather to do his duty for the protection of the law-abiding citizens than to oonoiliate the political vagabonds who may be useful in proouring him a reelection. Mr. Sheppard can do a good thing, too, by putting a Stop to the shifts and tricks of theUiaicer Sessions lawyers. Bach expedients as bring, lug women into oourt to work upon the sytn pathies of jurymen should be shown up iu their proper colors, and such frivolous argu ments to delay the course of justice as the one made in the case of Eaton, that the verdict was rendered on Sunday morning, should b-t disposed of without ceremony, and the law yers resorting to them should ba made to know that they will be of no avail. Fnrman Sheppard, Esq., and the Assistant District Attorney Henry a. Hagert,Esq., deserve praise for their energy in the prosecution of the Katon case, and if Katon is hnug, as Le ought to be, it will be the most decisive blow at political ruffianism that has ever been given in this city. The Conditiou of the South. While we have no disposition to underrate th beneficial Influenoe which the triumph of the Republican party will exercUe upon the desti nies of the South, we are not prepared to en dorse the opinion expressed by some of our sanguine contemporaries, that the hearts of the many evil-disposed men of that region have suddenly undergone a radical ohange We must not expect too much. A great point was gained by the defeat of Seymour and Blair. Their triumph wonld have been hailed as the signal for the reconstruction of the Rebel States on an undisguised Rebel basis, aud loyal men would have been as ruthlessly assailed as they were during the time Jeffer son Davis wielded tyrannical power at Rich mond. The mode of conducting the election In Louisiana affords a striking ilia itration of the savage Bature of the Southern Democracy. Boores of Republicans were assassinated, and so complete a reign of terror was established that the friends of Uraut and Colfax could uot Tenture to the polls without enoouotering imnot nt-rtain death. Whatever exulana- tions Oeueral Ruseaa may make of the result, unprejudiced men will not fall to note the wondrous political changes which were wrought by the presence of a military commander who was knswn to en dorse the views of Andrew Johnson; and we are forced to oonolude that similar, or even worre outrages would have been perpetrated n otbt-r districts if a fear of punishment had uot retrained the violent Rebel instlnots which evidently still exist. In Arkansas the attempts to overthrow the legitimate new State authorities have ouly been tLwarted by armed force, and the traitors of that Commonwealth have not yet fully n-oognlzed the folly of fighting battles to mthrone the Rebellion. But we need not particularize further. It U a favorite argu Uimt, alike of the Rebels and their Democratic allies, that none of the rtoonutruoted govern ments oonld be maintained if tbey were not upLeld by national bayonets, and this argu ment acknowledges the extstenoe of an un jieldirg disposition in the entire South ij letoit to the most desperate means to restore koal Hebel supremacy. The eleotion of Grant admonishes the authors and abettors of these schemes that they oan txiot no aid or countenance from the Laliuual Government during the next four tars, aLd that any overt aots wilt be promptly and bevn ely punished. If inbred Rebels ould really reform in a day, and if wise and lojal inbllucta could suddenly be widely dla ttiiiiijated over a soil poisoned by slavery and tirarou, the hopelessness of farther retist ai ce lo the decrees of the loyal citizens of the United States would prompt the entire South to seek the advancement of its true Interests by the adoption of a national policy. Some men and some sections are already sagacious enough to graoefully submit to inevitable destiuy, but they form, at this time, ouly the vanguard of a small body of Southern progressives, and they are subjected to virulent persecutions. As the children of Israel, after their departure from Egypt, were detained in the wilderness for forty years, as a punibhment for their weaknesses and trans grtbins, it is to be feared that the South must undergo a long period of probation before the main body of her white citizens will be purged ol their old prejudices and heresies and before they will cordially adopt and sus tain tbe free republican system whioh forms the foundation of the prosperity of the North. Fear alone restrains their ferocious instincts. On political questions they are confirmed monomaniacs, and the preeence of a genuine Republican excites them, as water does a rabid dog. They are controlled by their old hatreds and passions rather than by reason, and nothing but the mellowing band of time oan subdue these obdurate emo tioup. We do not doubt that the condition of the South is improving, and that it will im prove under Grant's administration more rapidly than iu any former era. But the nation must not be too Impatient, nor expect too sudden a transformation. A greal deal of hard and intelligent labor of all kinds in us be done in the South before it can be ad vanced to its proper position iu this enlight ened age, and there is unfortunately compara tively little disposition among the native Southern white population to perform much useful labor of any description. They are more familiar with their old devices for en chaining the negro in entoroed servituie, and lor galvanizing rebellions, than with the creditable pursuits of life. They have much to learn about manufactures, commerce, mining, and even their favorite occupation, egiiculiure, before they can fairly ciixiuieiice the development of their varied resources, and the hostility which they have hitherto displayed in various ways to Northern emigration evinces a degree of t-nvenomed animosity which is only paralleled by their suicidal stupidity in seeking to ex clude citizens who would render them invalu able assistance. Time and work will fiaally rescue the South from the slough into which it was plunged by slavery and rebellion. ..Tue leforuib retarded by Johnson will be aocele lated by Grant, but, despite all the assistance the National Government cau give, Souttiern progress will be comparatively slow, and we can scarcely expect complete regeneration before the old Rebel prejudices are as thoioughly disbipated as the Rebel armies.
