CONGIIE43 AT WitlC AGAIN1.
From the A. Y. Hernia.
On yesterday, under fair aiupeoies for the
weather vas ulaud atut lieaiiuful nil iu Sep
tember and with a full atteudance of iu em
bers, tho third or fMuvt eioa of the Forty,
first CoQgreHS of the United State wai
opened. J!oth boiwe.i wore called to order
precisely at uoon, ia the presence of un
usual throngs of apeotator, and with an evi
dence of interest on the p.irt of both mem
bers and public that a inured well for the
work to be done. Thut this work is not
likely to be idly deferred Air. Sumner dii
tinctly indicated in the Senate by introduo
ing a financial bill to promote and facilitate
A return to specie payments by gradual and
natural processes, consistent with the exi
gencies of the Government and the
business of the country. The bill itself
we ahull have abetter opportunity of disc us
ing after the organization of the standing
committees, to which it will in due coarse be
referred. Hat wo are glad to Bee that the
subject before the country which is the most
prominent, important, and pressing, is thus
insured the earliest consideration. The re
peal of the income tax after the 1st of Janu
ary next was also put ut once into the fore
ground by the bills of Messrs. Cole and Cas
herly, of California, who, representing both
parties, as they do, are agreed upon the ne
cessity of removing a burthen whish cripples
the enterprise of their young Commonwealth
notwithstanding all its vigor and resouroo.s.
A few bills of less import, but all looking like
eatnefet business, completed the day's work
for the upper chamber.
The House of Representatives, also, had
a gonial and pleasant meeting, and after hear
ing the President's Message read, referring
the report of the Secretary of the Treasury
and passing a bill the first, therefore, of the
session to supply an omission in the latest
Indian Appropriation bill, adjourned at. P. AI.
Thus the new session is fairly launched,
without any sign of collision or unpleasant
ness iu any direction, and we sincerely trust
that the good humor of the first day may con
tinue to its last. The amount of business
accumulated and craving performance is
heavy, but with a full Oougress few, if any,
of those whose seats are now vacant, and the
earnest good intent that enould now auimito
all parties and the representatives of all sec
tions, the task is easy enough for patriotism
and statesmanship. The contrast atTordei
by the condition of our great country and
that of distracted Europe should impress
itself upon our legislators, and nerve
them to the labor that still remains
to be done ere we can consider
our prosperity consolidated and our future
seouie. The nation begins to feel fresh life
in all its veins; its monstrous losses by civil
war are being rapidly made good; its wounds
are healing; its numbers and wealth in
creasiug with fabulous rapidity, while, as the
message of our Chief Magistrate reminds us,
a bounteous Providence has ever blessed us,
"our basket and our store." A moral duty of
the highest order devolves upon us, then, not
only to profit by these advantages ourselves
but to Bet the example of their proper usu
iruci 10 omer nations, xnere tmouid be in
telligence enough in the American Congress
to comprehend its high mission, and we await
its performance at this -critical and eventful
time with earnest confidence.
PARISIAN NEW YORK.
From tkr X. Y. Tribune.
There are always compensations. The
world has lost Paris, but fashionable New
York asserts itself as quite ready to take the
vacant place. The king is dead; it is not
worth while to say that, take him for all in
all, we shall not look upon his like again;
let us make baste to shout "Vive le Roi,"
and not inquire too closely into either birth
or breeding of the bastard claimant. It was
only the other day that the world was sur
prised by discovering this blood relationship,
which it now appears has long existed be
tween the ton of Fifth avenue and moribund
Paris. When the French Fair was opened,
all Japonicadom rushed in a vertigo of en
thusiasm to its support; it turned its back
upon private views and pnblio concerts;
upon art, musio, and pleasure; put
on the weeds of grief and stretched out its
arms to suffering Franco, refusing to be com
forted, tiuch devotion and sorrow for the
far-off dead and dying touched and surprised
everybody; it was clear, in spite of the old
prejudice to the contrary, that fashionable
people had hearts to feel and brains that
could understand. Hut some kind souls to
whom a suffering fellow creature, whether
French or German, was only a brother who
needed help, had started a fair for the relief
of the Prussian wounded. To their astonisU
meut, fashionable New York coldly ignored
this, shut its eyes, buttoned up its pockets.
It had nothing in common with plebeian
death or pain; its tears and its dollars, it
seems, flow only in remembrance of past
glimpses of the Taileries of dear departed
Worth.
"I kuow nothing of the war," said an ex
grocer; "we belong to the class who do not
vote. Republics are plebeian." This is the
class who mourn for Paris, and assume to
represent her. Success to their endeavor.
Hut there are few of us who will believe the
lion a real lion. W'e all know too well the
features of Snug the Joiner.
"I care nothing about this war," said, the
wife of an ex-grocer, "since that dreadful
mistake of declaring a republic. Before that
my sympathies were all with the French; but
now could tney ue miotic- enougu to try so
pUbiau a thing as a republic ? If they had
our eipeiience they would have have known
better." This is the class who mourn for
I'm is and assume to represent her.
THE CUBANS CAN FREE CUBA.
Pram tk H. T. Sun.
The Ttibune, in discussing the temporary
appointment of General Yalmaseda to be
Captain-General of Cuba, made a sur
prising statement. "The insurrection, '
aid the Tribune, "has shown but too plainly
its inability to achieve the independence of
the inland. " So far from this being a fair de
duction from the events 01 the past twenty
gii months in uuds, me exact opposite is
true. If the ultimate result of any war de
pen J upon the relative strength of the forces
engaged after two years' fighting, it is clear
that the decrease of the strength of Spain and
the increase in that of the patriots must at no
distant day result in the complete victory of
the latter.
QTwo years ago Spain attempted, with a force
ut' over thirty Ave thousand well drilled aud
admirably equipped soldiers, to fsubdii a
stuall body of poorly armed Cubans, not ex-
ettdiu' thirty five hundred in number. She
failed. A year ag by fresh reinforcements
received from the Peninsula, and by the mo
bilization of some thirty thousand volunteers,
fcbe was enabled to employ in active service
in the field not less than forty-live thousand
men against the p.ttriot forces, which at that
dal bad increns-ed to some nine thousand
armed men. She ngnin signally failed. To
day, including the live tho'isaud iuoti mostly
jail-birds and raw recruits with whom she
bas of late reinforred her exhausted army,
sbo cannot count fifteen thousnud regulars
in Cuba, while the patriots possess at the pro
sent moment an army of at least thirteen
thousand well armed men, so iuured to hard-
fillip, fatigue, and lighting, as to be more than
a match, in their own countty, for thrice the
number of their enemies.
Again, it is well known that Spain has
offered autonomy to the Cubans, although
the 1 ribti u e possibly for the support of its
erroneous deduction pretends to ignire the
fact. Now, after having strained every
nerve and sacrificed every fooling of humanity
in the relentless prosecution of a war which
she aDd her satellites in Cuba have waged
confessedly for the extermination of the
Cuban race, Bhe would hardly have offered
them autonomy if in her judgment the in
surrection had shown "its iuability to achieve
the independence of the island.
If, in a jonrnalist speaking of our
war of independence una indulged ia a
strain of prophecy similar to that of the
Tribune, he would have been more justified
than the Tribune is, both by antecedents and
by the then relative strength and positions of
tbe American and British forces. And if we
recall the duration of the revolutionary
wars by which the liberating armies of all
the republics of Central and South America
achieved their independence, that of Cuba
has exceeded them all in the amount of ter
ritory occupied, in the losses inflicted on the
enemy, and in the generally satisfactory re
sults obtained within a comparatively short
period of time.
PORTER UPON PORTER.
From tkeif. Y. World.
We really do not know in what words to
describe the extraordinary communication
from Admiral Porter to the President. To
say thut the Admiral has succeeded in per
forming the apparently impossible feat of
kicking himself down stairs is to put the
feat iu the most kindly and considerate
terms at all compatible with truth. He
states that he considers as a "fabrication" a
letter which he admits himself to have writ
ten; explains how he was led, by a storm at
sea, a light at Fort Fisher, and the general
excitement of "a nation which dreaded a
defeat that might prolong a contest that was
already sapping Us vitals," to utter sonti-
ments which were "at variance with all he
had uniformly expressed towards General
Grant," and "docs not hesitate to disapprove
the sentiments of which he supposes he must
bear the odium." In other words, he appeaU
from Porter fighting before Fort Fisher for a
permanent position to Porter enjoying that
position at Washington and fondly believing
it. permanent.
Whether President Grant, who hassoleninly
announced himsell to nave "lost his faith in
human nature" since he read the letter which
bas provoked this unparalleled Palinode, will
regain that invaluable possession upon pe
rusing it, we cannot pretend to guess. Wo
incline, however, with the languid and philo
sophical Mr. Toots, in whose spirit Admiral
Porter sits in judgment upon himself, his
correspondence, his sentiments, and his ties,
to believe that, alter all, it "dont much
signify." Before this publication there were
not a few people in the United States who
impiously thought rather Biviall beer of Ad
miral Porter. Now that Admiral Porter ad
vertises himself as being of the same mind,
we may look for a happy unanimity upon at
least one great question of the day.
THE HOUR OF DANGER.
Vow tlt London Saturday lleuiew.
There can be no doubt that England is now
passing through the most dangerous hour
which she has been called upon to traverse
since the downfall of the 1' irst Napoleon
Fortunately there is one ray of light in the
midst of the gloom. The danger has come
upon us in such a form that there is no Uivi
sicn of opinion. England cau act without
hesitation, and without contests of parties or
balancing of opposing arguments. The spi
rited reply of Lord Ganville to Prince Gort
schaKon s insolent circular is the reply ot a
Cubinet of which Mr. Bright is a member. If
Russia wants to know the mind of England,
she may know it at once. England, if chal
lenged by a direct, deliberate insult, means
prompt, earnest, resolute fighting. But
although there cannot be the
slightest shade of doubt as to the
attitude wnicn England ougnt to as
sume, there is no use in attempting
to conceal from ourselves the extreme gravity
of tbe situation. Immediately after the
capitulation of Metz, Russia, thinking
France finally and irretrievably stricken
down, sent off a notice to the ally of France
in the Crimean war that the Treaty of Paris
was to be wholly set aside, and that the blood
and treasure lavished by 1 ranee and England
were held to have been lavished in vain. But
this is not all; it is only a vero small part of
what England has to face. Russia would not
venture to provoke England if Russia could
count on no allies. She must either have
had an understanding with other powers or
have calculated that other allies would be in
ev it ably drawn to her side if she stepped for
ward and gave the signal lor a general war,
1 he allies on whose assistance she counted
were of course Germany and the United
States. If she gained the aid of both, then,
with France prostrate, all the help that the
rest cf the civilied world could bring to
England would be of comparatively slight
avail. Austria, Italy, possibly Spain,
possibly the tiny Scandinavian powers.
would, with Turkey, do what they
could to mace me contest not a
hopeless one. But it is a black prospect, the
blackness ot which we realize, aitnougu we
do not think that there is an Englishman
who would heritate, if need be, to encounter
it. "Happy England," said the author of the
famous article in the Edinburgh. "Happy
England; What Happiness: Russia throw
ing the gauntlet iu our face; the United
States longing to launch the Alabamas of the
New World to redress the balance of the Old;
Ireland burning to exchange sedition for re
bellion; and Count Bismarck goading on his
countrymen into quarrelling with Englaud
for furnishing France with a twentieth part
of tbe arms furnished by America without
comment or objection. Happy England!
harpy In mx security, and iu the foresight
end judgment of her Premier. At the same
time, while the very first duty of Englishmen
at this moment is to see how great the dan
gor is and to resolve to meet it, we need not
exaggerate anything, or impute evil to others
before we are sure of its existence. We are
certain that there is a very large section of
the German people who would bitterly de
plore seeing themselves opposed to England
when England is striving to do nothing but
to uphold tbe pnblio law of Europe. In the
United States there are many who would
fthririk from quarrelling with England, Rim
ply to hurt ber, because she was involved in
a contet-t where the right was indisputably
on her side. In Ireland there are Irishmen,
let us hope, who have been won over by the
liberal and just policy of England in the last
two sessions. Even Russia may hesitate to
Make ber fortnne on the practical Assertion
of the great doctrine that henceforth the
most solemn engagements of nations are to
be set aside at tho caprice of any party to a
treaty. Justice and common sense may still
triumph, although what we fear is that in a
moment of passion those who love neither
justice nor common sense may get the upper
hand.
THE PORTER LETTER.
I i&n the Wasliinntnn Patriot.
When Charles Surface pulls down the
screen, and Dr. Cains opens the closet-
door, we all laugh, though we know before
hand exactly what will he discovered. So
there is a universal cacchinatiou in the land
on the exposure of Admiral Torter's letter to
Secretary Welles, which has leaked or boou
delved out of the Navy department. The
merriment does harm to nobody. The reve
lation does no particular good to anybody.
Historically, it is of little value, for what will
the grave mnse care when she comes to make
up her solemn record, as to the bickerings of
the tulkative tar and the sileut soldier t
Every one familiar with military story, at
home aud abroad, is aware, without Jihis new
light, of tbe chronic ill feeling between the
two branches of the service. It was car
ried to such an extent in the English service
that when, in Us the Wasp captured the
Frolic, and was in turn recaptured by a line-
of-bnttle ship and carried into Bermuda, the
ai my officers of the garrison honored aud
feasted the American prisoners because, as
they frankly said, they had mortified the
navy men.
Nor was this after-discovered evidence
needed to prove that, iu our day and genera
tion, this Admiral and this General at one
time bad no love for each other, or that Tor
ter, with all the intensity of personal aud pro
fessional ill-nature, utterly despised the groat
Massachusetts militia-man. When the secrets
of the War Department, in turn, come to be
told, we shall doubtloss find that there was
perfect reciprocity. Still leas incredible is it
that hatreds, and sneers, and disparagements
should melt away in the sunshine of favor and
patronage as it manned from the soldier when
converted into the President. There seemod
to be a thaw of asperity all round. The hos-
tile Generals became reconciled, the sneer of
the 'bottle' was withdrawn, and why should
not this condoning, conciliatory, forgetful
feeling extend "beyond the water's edge" and
soften the salt sailor s temper.' It did; and
in the rosy season of the Borio dawn, Admi
ral Porter "felt very kindly to President
Grant," and when brave Farragut's death
created a vacancy, was of opinion that he who
had the power to till it "didwotf want magna
nimity and was not avaricious of fame,"
whatever he may be ol houses, or lands, or
watches, or ttotting horses.
There is one phrase in Admiral Porter a
unlucky letter which is more impressive than
all bis slurs. He Bays: "When the Rebels
write the history of the war, then, and only
then, will the country be made to feel what
the navy has done. This is not a new idea,
nor is its significance limited to naval matters.
It throws a dark shadow on the military re
cord in the future. There is at least a ques
tion whether, in future ttory, the Confederate
soldiers of rank will not faro better than some
of ours. They had, we all know, bickerings
and jealousies and backbitings. But, acci
dentally, and from the sharp necessity which
pressed tbem all the time, they were com
pelled to wash their dirty linen at home. With
us it was very diff erent. There is an Italian
proverb which says that "dirty water doesn't
wash clean. lhis the Uouiiuittee on mo
Conduct of tbe War painfully illustrated.
The Chandler-Covode saponaceous com
pound, which was bo industriously applied to
our heroes, smeared them all over, aud, what
makes the matter worse, our military Presi
dent, who owes so much of his lucky fame to
gallant subordinates, has tried to make the
stains which the Congressional washerwomen
left indelible. McClellan, Meade, McDowell,
and others were all in turn defamed by this
committee, and who now are more honored
by the Executive than their special slan
derers? Any other man would have done
justice to Fitz John Porter. No other would
have ostentatiously petted and promoted the
accusers and secret slanderers ot Meade tne
Sickleses, Bntterlields, and such like. If,
according to Admiral Porter, the navy is to
receive tardy justice only at Rebel hauda, it
is not hoping against hope to have other of
President Grant's false judgments reversed
too. The people of the North are beginning
to reverse them pretty rapidly for them
selves.
