The second session of the Fortieth Congress began to-day in Washington, and the prelimi nary proceedings will be found in the tele graphic columns of our regular edition to day. To-morrowthe last annual message of President Johnson will be sent to Congress, and we hope to be able to present it in full, or in a comprehensive abstract, in our next issue. There is no great interest felt in the document It is _hoped, however, that. the President will have the sense and the decency to refrain from urging his "policy" upon Congress, now that the people, by electing Grant and Colfax, have expressed their con demnation of that pOlicy so emphatically. The session of Congress will last lees than three months, and as it is not expected that any important business will be done until af ter new year's day, the real working days of the session will number less than fifty. In that time, however, a great deal of good may be done, if the President, desisting from his egotistical opposition to the dominant party, shall promptly sanction the legislative acts, instead of retarding everything by vetoes. He has a slight chance of redeeming a por tion of his lost reputation by recognizinglhe verdict of the November election, and` pre paring to retire gracefully from the White House. It is to be feared that much of the time of the members which should be given• to legitimate legislation will be given up to arranging Gene ral Grant's cabinet and preparing "slates" for the offices to be distributed in the different states. If this should be the case, the con stituencies of the Republican members will have good reason to complain, and they should be warned of this in advance. The people want work of the most careful kind with regard to the finances, the army, the tariff, the Southern States and many other important matters. This can only be given by refraining from meddling with the future administration. If the present Congress fails in its duty in this respect, an extra session of the new one may be required, and this is not a time to be indulging in the expensive luxu ries of extra sessions. The work of the last session was retarded by the Presidential can vass. That being over, there ought to be nothing to interfere with real work at the present session,.A.g , A false rumor of the death of Inula,Napo leen, on Saturday, caused a panic in this country and all over Europe. When that in evitable event does occur, it may easily be Pmagined that there will be something like consternation throughout the world. Such an effect could be produced by the death of no other monarch; and it is terrible to think that so much should depend upon the life of one poor mortal. There is a general feeling that when Louis __Napoleon dieilL revolution will begin. It will begin in France,and there is no knowing to what countries it may ex tend. The American people alone feel se cure in anticipating the death of the French Emperor. They went through the trials of a fearful civil war, and the frightful shock of the murder of their beloved President at the beginning of his second term, the govern ment and its institutions coming out of the ..frarful ordeal stronger than ever. Only a temporary disturbance in financial circles would be caused in this country by the death of Louis Napoleon. We are glad to perceive that the Philadel- - - phia Morning Post and tile New York 2Y.triee both have descriptions of the flog. gings in New Castle on Saturday. The Post ' says- 'Recent articles in the BULLETIN, Mar v!, Vi'per ' s rAtV Weekly, Morning Post and other journals, have been widely copied." The fact 47. -t3 this journal contained the only descriptive , ''article upon the subject, and Harper's - Weekly copied it verbatim with credit, as half the newspapers of the country. It 4'5570.9 at the personal request of the writer of '4:the said article that the New York journals ~fcwnt their reporters to Delaware on Saturday. ' We want the press generally to carry on the :good., work and agitate for a retorm; but we 'sake all the credit of having dealt the first "tardy blow at this barbarism. The_Ainlon_ Pacific RaikW report, in reply to the President's speciff commission, will be found in another column. It appears CONeaRESS. to have been Satisfiietcry, as it could scarcely fail to be, and the issue of ihii bowls t 6 the Company, which have been 'temporally withheld has already been rearmed. The work will thus be pushed forward without delay, and no doubt completed within the estimated period. The Company showz that most of the defects reported by the commis sioners have already been reinedied, and that Many of the chdrgett against the 'construction of the road has no fthiltdation in fact. Major-General Kilpatrick has arrived in this city, and will this - evening deliver at Concert Hall a lecture on "Sherman's March to the Sea." The proceeds are to be in aid of the Soldiers' Monument Fund of the Twenty second Ward. The lecture has been highly praised in other cities, and the fame of the gallant orator, as well as the cause for which he speaks, should attract a large as semblage. - Tim FINE. ARTS.--The Beaumont-Collection.— Some of the pictures withdrawn at the sales of last Tuesigiy and Wednesday evenings, have been as we are glad to learn, secured to our public by the judicious energy_ of Mr. Scott, who suc ceeded in.dispoeing of them at private sale. The picture by Beeker, "Carnival Time," for instance,' which It - would have been• a sheer disgrace to have permitted to return to New York, was sold by him to a connoisseur for $3,000. The "Ewe Homo," a possible Guido. and at any rate a pro bable original of the Bologna school, was cheaply obtained by Mi. Shoemaker for $4OO. Valuable Factory Properties at lino. TioN.—Junes A'.

The Oltdo steamboat ataaster, Among the victims of the late steamboat dims ter on the Ohio, wo regret to be compelled to In clude two well-known Episcopal clergymen—the Rev. Robert J. Perlin and the Rev. Mr. Melug. private deripateh received this morning from Bishop Cummings states that they are still:mae.. ing. and Olathe has gone to the scene of the aster in eearch of them. , The - Rev. , Mr. Prairie was one of the meat) widely-known clergymen of the Episcopal Church, owing wills prominent positron as Sec retary of the Evangelical Education Soelety, and his connection with other departments of the mte, sionary work of his church. _Mr. Parvin has oc cupied several parishes In this State and New York, and has beenleir many years a presbyter of this Dhazese, his last parochial charge being that of Bt. Paul's Church. Cheltenham. He ' was nominated by the House of Bishops, In 1865. ag Missionary Bishop of Ne vada, and although the nomination was not'cod- • firmed by the Lower House, he was everywhere held In high eiteent - iii - a zealous, earnest and able minister of the Episcopal Church. His lose will be deeply depleted by a . large of clerieel and other friends and associates. The Rev. Franklin S. Rising, of New York was the Secretary of the American Church Mission ary Society, a clergyman of marked devotion his work, and one who,diaring the last few years, has become widely known by his successful ef forts to awaken interest in the field of Domestic Missions. He was about thirty years of ago, and unmarried, of exceedingly pleasing maoners, and . • one whose place cannot easily be iuppl&d. These two elm e,yeren had just left the East on a short tour of official duty to Louisiana, Clack nati, ate. They were to have been accompanied the Rev. Dr. Newton, of this city, and the Rev. Dr. p. chenek, of Brooklyn. A change in the plan at the last hounhas saved these two distinguished divines from sharing the terrible fate of Messrs. Parvin and Rising. Besides these victims we are called upon to record tt e loss of two ladles, whose melancholy fate is deeply deplored by families and friends in this city. Mrs. Thomson, the wife of Com modore Edward R. Thomson, U. 8. N., ac companied by Mrs. Griffin, \ the niece of W. R. Leyee, Esq., were on board the United States, and are reported among the lost. They were on their way to join Commodore Thomson, who is on duty at Now Orleans, when overtaken by this terrible catastrophe. The sad Intelligence has cast a gloom over a large circle in this eiSm munity. TIRE PitesiDErcvs MESSAGE. A Comprehensive Abstract. WAIMINGTON, Dec. i.—The ?resident's Mes sage was all placed in type this evening, and will probably be tent to Congress on Tuesday. The only \ reason for delay is the anticipation of offi cial news about the settlement of the Alabama claims. The Message covers the following points and conclusions thereon. First, that the Southern States remain pros trated in industry, their resources having been cnt oft and a goodly portion of their population * disfranchised; their constitutional privileges de nied through congressional enactment, and most of them remaining under military rule. Secondly, commending the report of the Secre tary of the Treasury, and approving its views relative to a return to specie payments through reduced taxation and a gradual contraction of paper circulation, with suggestions for legisla tion far ono currency only, and that the Natioual Banks should have powers restricted. Third, that our foreign affairs are in a favora ble condition. The ; negotiations with Great Britain - regarding the Alabama claims, so called, have not reached an end. certain portions of the propoeed protocol of arbitration not having been approved by this Government, and having been returned to Minister Johnson. The resignation of the British Ministry is regarded as only a temporary hindrance. Many of the details rela tive to the claims it is not deomed proper to com municate in the' Message. Offers _ot arbitration between Paraguay and Brazil have been declined, and the course of Paraguay is commented on, . though there is an absence'of official detail about the late outrage of Lopez. The Government has made new treaties for-the protection of natural= ized citizens abroad. It has recognized the new provisional Junta , in. Spain as a de facto Government, but has received no formally accredited Minister from the same. Affairs with 'Mexico are satisfactory. Arrangements for a mixed commission to settle the chime of Americans in that country are in progrees. The government has failed, so far, in Its negotiation for the purchase of a naval station in the,West Indies, and the President learns that the French are trying to get the Bay of Satsuma trom the Dominican Government. - Fourth, that the official facts show enormous frauds on the revenue which' must be corrected or the revenue will fall, and the nation be in volved in ruin. The President calls for strong legislation, and urges the repeal of the civil. 'tenure act, which he regards as a hindrance to the removal of corrupt officials. Fifth, the President touches upon our Indian troubles, noting the views . or tiaslabaki Commis, lion, and fears that the military .establishment expenditures will be largely increased on the Plains. Sixth, The President favors the withdrawal or the troops from the Southern States, and a re duction of the army, and gives a resume of the operations of the land and pension system., It is not pretended that the Message discusses the above pohita In the order named, or in the language given; but the general tenor of the do- ctiivciatty:wl.l! l .p,rcv,e,tp - tbe, - ;;Ba: 41303..iindlattpd.

He then. proceeds to censure the ,New York natienal banks which have certified checks of depositors in advance of their depoeits and says "it is unauthorized. reckless and injurious in the end to the country." He .ergiseeteleelelatica,th thiee,Thermeert then c en '...cludes ea-follows: eComplaint has bites.neaeit that in the idratniatiefleire of the Treasury De partment since the war there files been' too much of interference with the stock and money market. This complaint, _elan honestly made, has been the eenit of a want of 'reilecti its or of imperfect know. ledge of the financial condition of the government. The transactions of the Treasury have from neces sity been connected with the stock and money market of New York. If the debt after the close of the war bad been a funded debt, with nothing to be done in relation to it but to pay the accruing interest or if business had been conducted on a specie basis, and coneequently been free from the constant changes to which it has been end umet be subject-ea-long as there is considerable difference between the legal and commer cial standard of vatne. the Treasury could have *been managed with entire independence of the ' , took exehange or the gld room Such, however, was not the fact Moro than ore-half of the national debt, according to-the fore going exhibits, consisted of temporary obligations. which were to be made in lawful money or; converted into bends, and there was in circulation a large amount of it redeemable promises. constantly chengine In their con vertible valorr. The tiecretarir therefore, could not be in• different to the condition of the market, nor avoid cite. nection with it, for it was. in fact, with 'he market he bad to deal. Ha would have been happy had it keen °Hu rwtee. if bonds were to he sold to provide the means for raying the debts that were payable in lawful money it was a matter of great importance to the Treasury that the price of bonds should not bo depressed by artificial proeme. lf the seven-thirty notes were to be converted into fivotwenty bonds It was equally important that they should sustain such relatio us to each other in regard to prices that conversions would be effected. If bonds were at a diecount the notes woald bo presented for payment in legal eenders, and these could only be obtained by further issued or the sale of some kind of securities. For three years.. therefore, the state of the market has been a matter of d, ep solicitude to the Secretary. If he had been indifferent to it cr waited carefully to study the influence that controlled it, or had hesitated to exercise the power with which Congress had clothed him for successfully fending the temporary debt by conversions or ash's, he would have been false to his trust. The task of convert ing a thousand millions of temporary obligations into a funded debt on a market constantly subject to:natural and artificial fluctuations. without depremin the, prices of bonds, and without disturbing the -bee nem of the country. however it may be regarded now when the work has been accomeliehed. wag, while it was being per. formed, an exceedingly delicate one. It is but simple justice to eay that Ha euceessful ;aerompleihment is, in a great measure, attributable to the judicious action of the Aesietant-Treneurer at New York. Mr. Van Dyck. Similar complaint has also been made of the manner in which gold - Ind bonds have been dis posed of by what lies been styled `octet gable* and yet precisely the same course hat been pursued lu them -e that careful and r,rnaent men pursue who sell on their own &see uta The sales have been made when currency - was needed and prices were satisfactoryweseetot ceneldered wise or prudent to advbe the detifercerecisely when and to what at: omit sales'were to be made. No vane man and" on his own exceuut would have done Bat all miles of gold have been made in. the open market, and of bonds by agents or the Alssistant.

Whether done by agents or offic,ene the Sec- rotary hue no, reason to suppose that it has not been done skilfully and honeetly as well as economically. He is now gratified in being able to gay • that unless every etringent market, such as was produced a few weeks ago by powerful combinations its New York, should send to the Treasury large amounts .of- the three per bent. , certificates for reetaption no further salsa .• of'.bonds are likely to be necessary.. Untie however, .the receipts from internal revenues are Increased, the eccoveities of the government will tequire that the gales geld shall be continued. %beat sales are now being.- made by. aevertiseanents for sealed bide; instead or the agencies heretofore employed. The result Bo far baa not been entirely satisfactory, but a proper respect for what,according to the tone of the press, appeared mode th public gentiment seem continued, e) it. ehe new es 1 , 1 be. fairly tested and if it can be without a sacrifice of the public interest, The Secretary hoe thus referred to a few points In hie admin istration of the Treasury for the purpoge of expiate ing some things which may have been imperfectly under stood, and not(elatepurpose of defending , hie own en.

Deeply sensible of. the responalbilhies, resting noon ..neither appalled .nor disheartened by them, he has performed the dales of his of fice according to the ' , best of hisindgment and the lights that were before him without deprocia. leg criticism, and plainly and earneetly presented his own views without seeking popular favor. It has been his good fortune *to have • hadder immediate predecessors two of the ablest men in the country, to whose judicious laborer ho boa been• greatly indebted for any success that may have attended his aduanittrafion of tbo Treasury.
