OPENING; OF CONGREsS.
,
The Fortieth Congress will commence its
Second Session to-day under cream

stan es peculiarly favorable to its dignity
and sefulness. No representative bodies in
this entry , if in any other, were ever call
ed pon to execute so important fkractiona,
surr unded by conditions of equal delicacy,
and barrassed by positions so, new and
s'za ge as to admit of no illumination

an anomalous condition of public affairs

of all rightful governments, its task was
ons . l ,
of exceeding delicacy, requiring the
.riicOt intellectual :perceptions,- combined
with: the staunchest reaelation in action.
Its task was not solely or primarily to pre
serve the •essentialleatures of the Constitu
tion, as it was framed by the fathers and
by thent transmitted to this generation, bat
to maintim those fad/mental principles of
!Ain't, Squat) . and Fraternity, o which

d ie
an 1 Imlawful assemblage, assuming powers
not, inferred on it by the Constitution, and
in ontravantion of-the will of a decided
snafsrity of the States and of the People.
The, whole vocabulary of disparaging and
beau' epitia' eta was searched and exhausted
i .
for °plastid phrases by which to egress
con capt for its authority, and at the same
tim to .excite against it the loathing and
wrath of the least intelligent sand preju:-
il
'dice Classes of the citizens. Legal techni
imil l
es smd special pleadings were craftily
nr to prove that the government was
stripPed by the terms or by the silence of the
organic'law of the natural and indispensa
tile nght of self-defence, which inheres in
eachindividual, and is incomparably more
clear sind unquestionable in all those aggre
gations of persons , which are known as
'
nations In substance it 'was maintained
that fie Ilion worked no forfeitures of the
Eights o
imminities of the States concern
ed therein, and that the government was
armed th no authority to protect itself, by
punishin assaults upon its life and exacting_
guarantee for its future safetY.
It rti
tUpon t issue thus made up the two great
political : "es which divide the country
went befor3 the people at the recent elec
lion, each earnestly asking a popular Ter
' diet in its behalf. Thousands of mass meet
ings of the citizens were held; and the auk
elaborately
, leviewed by the very ablest men
on each el e. Whatever , abatements may
be made for flippancy, incoherence, dogma
tism, ignorance, vituperation, and empty
declamation, in particular passages, or on
the part of iixceptional speakers, the fact re
mains that this political discussion, pro
tracted through a number of months, was
more calm., searching, dispassionate, and
•conclusive than any of the great popular de
bates which went before IL- If a man or
men were left in ignorance, on the morning
of the election, of the cardinal principles in
volved in the contest , of the facts upon
-
which the momentdus argument turned, and
of the just and indispensable inferences and
conclusioni from those facts, • he or they
were exclusively at - fault, having darkeed
their own understandings.
When the votes were counted. it was in
stantly perceived that the citizens had com
prehended the case, and had made a Judg
ment in terms both emphatic and unmis
takable! A majority of the States, and an
unprecedented majority oc the suffrages,
were found to be on the side of Congress.
From this declaim there is no appeal.
Venerable as the Constitution is in this
country,---beneficent as it has been found
in the past or may be found in the future—
there is a power superior -to it, and which
none can resist with impunity and un
scathed by punishment. This power is the
People themselves; who make or unmake
statutes and Constitutions as seems to be
good in their eyes, and for whom Constitu
tions exist, not as masters, but as servants.
-Vindicated and fortified by this popular
verdict, not simply of acquittal, but of high
commendation, the Fortieth Congress is
about.to resume. its labors. The benedic
tion of the People is upon it, and it will
doubtless so act as not to forfeit the benizen
it has obtained.
It has before it several duties of serious
magnitude. The first and most important
of these is the , complete Reconstruction of
the Union. Bx_this we do not mean merely
or mainly the replacement of_the machin
ery of the government, so far as it Ikea
ungeared by the gigantic upheaval of the
war. In that sense Reconstruction is purely
technical, and sign ifl es little. What is need
ful and intrinsic is - so to adjust existing dis
crepancies as to blend the different parts of
the Republic into a monogenions mass, oh
hteratihrg ,sectional and temporary allena
:time, and making of the whole, in fact as
in form, one nation, ,animated "by common
hopes and aspirations, and ' cordially co-op
erating to work out a high and noble deed
ny. To this end' disorders yawl be re
pressed and extirpated; the wayward and
maglignant must be made to fear; and the
obedient and law-abiding rude secure in
all their rights. • Explations for the past are
not demanded and are- - not admissable, but
the rebel element must be awed into respect
for the laws, while loyal men and women
must be made secure in their persons, repu
tation:land political privileges at the South
ht the same absolute sense a&they are at the
North. This provided for, the e -restoration
of all the Southern people to the just rights
they would have enjoyed bad none of them
embarked in the Rebellion, should follow as
quickly as possible.
During the late canvass weheard an orator
who attained a large and honorable fame du
ring the;war, insist that the Republicans had
made two grave mistakes—one in admitting
any of the blacketo the right of suffrage, and
the other & admitting thereto any who had
rirrsiku GAZETT'E : 1110 N DAY, DEC
been rebels. After he had finished his
speech we asked him if he was not endeav
oring to make the Pyramid, of/popular'
government, in half the Statet, •stand on
its apex rather than on its base I' if, for
instance, his scheme of excluding frcim po
litical rights, in South. Carolina, both "black
loyalists and white rebels would not estab
lish an oligarchy There more narrow, exclu
sive and intolerant than existed under
Csikonn and his associate slave-holders?
A hundred or a thousand voters in a State
would not stake a thing entitled to be called
a Commonwealth. Against the oligarchic
tendency., in a new form, Congress is bound
in justice and wisdom-to sedulously., guard.
As fast as the Southern whites return to tine
allegiance to the government they must
restored to all the functions of altizensht.
Next in rank to this question is that of
the Currency.. It is the duty of the govern-
Anent to return, by the shortest possible
road, to specie payments. Unconvertible
,paper money has no warrant in the Con
stitution except such as may be found in the
war power. If such a currency was jisti.
if r iKl by the dire • necessities of the war, it is
justifiable no longer. The war has been
.over, for nearly four years. The govern
ment, upon the showing of its own financial
officers, and in the' judgments of all sound
busbiess men, is ih a condition to resume
specie payments Whenever it shall please to
do so. Having tie ability to 'resume the
payment of its obligations, it is bound not
to further postpone that duty. f-
When the government shall take its own
unconvertible paper currency out of use,
the National Banks will be compelled to
provide for the payment upon demand of
the notes issued by them. Most of them
are reported by the Government Examiners`
to be in sound condition. If this conclu
sion is correct,,and we have no reasons for
any other opinion, the Banks can resume as
readily as the government. If there axe a
few Banks whose affaiXs have been so man
aged that they cannot resume specie pay
ments upon reasonable notice, the sooner
they shall be wound up the better.
Nor is this all. A resumption of Specie
payments by the Government and . the
Banks, will settle all the questions -hereto
fore started as to the kinds of CurrenCy in
which the national bonds are payable.
True, those questions were pretty effectual
ly disposed of by the results of the Presi
dential election. The Democratic leaders
were never half serious in taising the ques
tion originally. What they saw in it was the
basis of an appeal to the jiassions and pre
judices of certain classes, which might be
made available. in securing votes, less or
more, for their candidates; and they resolved
to secure the votes, if possible, no matter
how disastrous the means might prove to
the national honor and credit. Some
weeks ago, they ascertained that they hid
miscalculatbd their opportunity; and now
they are apparently content to let the ques
Lion alone.
Anether matter which will claim early
and'earnest attention will be the revision of
the Tariff. This revision was taken tip
diring the last session, very nearly matur
ed, but not finally acted sport, with the un
derstanding that it should be completed
soon after the opening of the comir7
don. Nothing can be plainer than that
whatever strengthens the great in I:lstrial
classes of the country, strengthens Clic qov
ernment. We do not ask a revision of the
duties on imported goods in the interest of
the proprietary manufacturers; audit we did
desire it, such a revision is simply impossi
ble. What wages employers can pay, ne-
cessarily depend upon the prices at.which
the products of the laborbought can be sold
for. When the cost of production exceeds
the avails resulting therefrom, proprietoni
suspend operations. When the profile on
production justify ar increase of wages,
workmen instantly perceive the- fact, and
are not slow in demanding and enforcing
an advance, by methods which they have
systematised and know how to wield.
Doubtless, manufacturers may be found, in
each department, who will insist upon
higher imposts than a just national system
will admit of. Greed can never be "ppeas
ed,wherever it may show itself. Nor should
Congress attempt to satisfy this manifesta
tion of it. The revision of the Tariffshquict
not be made to suit individual cupidity, but
a wise and far-reaching national policy,
covering and promoting the welfare of all
Classes of the population. That such 's
re
vision will be made, and so as. to quicken
domestic industry, in all departments, we
do not doubt. .
HESTER VAUGHN.
Much sympathy has beetrawakened by this
case of an unfortunate woman, who, claim
ing to have been dirst the victim of a vile
outrage, subsequently attempted to escape a
part of its consequences by the murder of
her newly born babe. The true statement
shows much of that sympathy to have been
misplaced, since it asstimed the entirety
different hypothesis of her innocence. Our
last week's exchanges have overflown with
a wonderful elaboration of Ike sentiment,
touchingly eloquent upon the miserable
case of this poor girl who, first the victim of
one man's brutality, had then, because her
Infant perished in its birth,. been unjustly
convicted of its murder, and so herself sen
lenced to die.
Ail this was very well for awhile. But
the fact transpires that HESTER VARGIIN
did kill her own child: - Her confession of
guilt is thus noted by the Governor of the
Commonwealth, in hia reply to a Committee
of ladies of New York, who waited upon
him on Friday, to invoke official clemency
in her behalf.
. 41 The Governor replied that he had taken
great pains to ascertain all the circumstan
ces connected with the case. He feared
that the people of New York were dot so .
well Informed. of-all the facts. The first
week after sentence had been passed upon
Hester Vaughn he sent a special metisen
ger, meaning Dr. John H. Glhon, his Pri
vate Secretary, to her cell, when she
frankly confessed her guilt. All she asked
for was a reprieve, aid that she might not
be questioned In regard to the author of
her shame. No persuasion would induce
her to tell who it was. There was no ne
cessity for further agitation of this ques
tion; it might only injure the mule of
the unfortunate prisoner. The people of

and the grave, as are hundreds of the un
known each-year. It is to that precise end
that so many of the good and large-hearted
women of Allegheny county are at this rao
meat bending their efforts. Their Fair, at
the City Hall, last week and this, is for the
purpose of raising funds to provide a home
for the homele.ss - of U:oeir sex, so that the
case of Hisittn Vets us may not have its
parallel here. One dollar spent in that di
, rection now, to save the virtuous and shield
the friendless, is better spent than a hun
,' dred given to rescue any criminal from the
law. Let the sympathiei of the philanthro
pic be wisely effective, and at the right mo
ment. since the history of that unfortunate
so pitiably shows the need of it:
THE JoHNscrle-STANLEY PROTOCOL.
The first clear and entirely reliable state
ment of the specific purposes proposed to
be attained by this much-debated arrange.
ment with England, is afforded by our Min
ister, Mr. Jonxsorr, in a speech made by
him at Brighton, England, in response to a
complimentary address 'from that munici
pality. He specifies the several subjects
of tile negotiation to bo, Ist, the right of
expatriaiion; 2nd; the Northwestern boun
dary question; Brd,' the respective claims,
by citizens of either nation upon the Gov
ernment of the other, growing out of the
complications of the late war of rebellion.
We annex an interesting extract from his
speech: .
The first - cause of trouble, and one of the
most perilous and of the longest duration,
was the rights of our naturalized citizens.
Coeval almost with_ the origin of your
Courts, it was held that the allegiance of
nativity was perpetual. This was directly
opposite to the view of the citizens of the
United States, and I believe to the general
sentiments of almost all Continental Eu
rope. The Constitution of the United States
in this particular accords with tL
I at senti
ment. t vests in Congress the power to
pass laws of naturalization, and that power
was exercised at the earliest period. The
condition, among others, upon which a
native of tiny other country could- become
a citizen of the United States', was that he
should renounce absolutely his original
allegiance. But, as I have said, his right
to do so was uniformly denied by your ju
diciary, thus compelling such citizens to '
violate his obligations to the United States,
and to deprive him of his rights as a citizen .
of that country.
Your Government acted upon this doc
trine previous to 1812 by impressing out of
our ships our naturalized citizens. This
constituted one cause of the war of that year,
and, although the doctrine was not sur
rendered by the Treaty of Ghent, it was
never afterwards precisely acted upon.
It is now settled by the protocol agreed to
by Lord Stanley and myself, and so settled
that it cannot hereafter give trouble to either
Government, and lam glad to add that it
has received the approval of the Executives
of each. The. naturalized is placed upon
the same footing in all 'respects as the native.
citizen. .
The second cause was as to - the true run.
.~ ~ _ ~.,
.. ~..
11BER 7, 1868•
ning of one of the lines which divides your
possessions and ours, 'as described in the
treaty between us of 184. This at one
time rendered a war almost imminent. All
danger from that source is now removed
by the second protocol, agreed to by his
Lordship and myself, and which also has
the approval of the two Execfitives.
The third and the only other cause of
trouble originated during our late domestic
war. From this have arisen most of the
claims made by your citizens upon my Gov
ernment, and my fellow citizens upon yours;
the latter known by the general name of
the Alabama claims.
,The convention which we have recently
agreed to [and which I have no, doubt will
be approved by both Governments] pro
vides that these are to be settled by a Board
of four Commissioners, two to be appointed
by each Government.
In the event of their not deciding by a
majority for or against any claim other than
an Alabama one, the decision is to be made
by an umpire chosen by themselves. In re
gard to the Alabama claims, the arrange- •
merit is somewhat different.
• Before these are to be considered by the
Commissioners, the two Governments are
to agree upon the head of some foreign
Government as an arbitrator, by whom the
decision as to the liability of your Govern
ment for such claims is to be made on the
contingency that the Commissioners fail to
come to an unanimous decision for or
against it.
This arbitrator, however, is to adjudge
only the question of liability.
If he rule that question against your Gov
ernment, the amount due to each claimant
is to be ascertained by a majority, of the
Commissioners. If he rule in favor of
your Government, the claim is
.to be per
petually barred.
• Apprehensions are expressed that, under
the hesitation of our own Government to
ratify the action of our Minister in all its
details, and in view of the changes in the
English Cabinet, the settlement spoken of
with so much confidence by Mr. Joinisox
may be deferred for months, or even de
feated altogether. This result May be real
ized, although, so far as concerns England,
her true policy is indicated in Lord STAN
LEY'S negotiations, and will not be aban
doned by his successor in office without
substantial reasons not yet apparent.

THREE was a remarkable conflict of state
ment between the rumors adverse to the
Union' Pacific Company, which were for
some days so industriously disseminated
from Washington, and the handsome vindi
cation of the Company in the text of the
Report itself. There are now hints that a
conspiracy to black-Mail the Company has
been frustrated and will be exposed. the
sole foundation upon which this moveMent
has relied, appearsin the statement, hype
Special-Commissioner, that a sum of about
$6,000,000 must be expended in bringing
the structure np to a first.class condition.
Another statement, also by the Comilis
sion,—that they had satisfactory evidence
of the intention of the Company; in good
faith, to proceed in this expenditure, and
from funds already provided,—seems to be,
altogether lost sight of. Justice to the Com
pany requires that the latter fact should be
borne in mind—as well as that the COMMIS
eon, in clear and express terms. *vindicates
the Company entirely from the Imputations
against its integrity and gild faith toward

GEORGE A. KELLY,

When the stomach is rebellious, the liver contu
macious, the bowels disordered, the brain confused
an l the nerves in a tumn't, call in the aid of HOS
TELT lEit'S STOMACH BITTERS. if you would re
store quiet, regularity and harmony to the action of
those Important organs. A large proportion of the
complaints to which the human family are subject,
originate in Indigestion: For this distressing mala
dy, and parent of innumerable ailments as distress
ing as Itself,. the BITTERS are the only a Bela
proved by experience to be a universal and unfail
ing remedy.. But although It was as a, remedy for
dysprpsis and blillousness that they first obtained
prestige twenty years ago, it is n( w pretty well un
derstood, both by the public and the medlcalprOfes-
Mon, that their curative properties take a far wider
range. In nervous complaints, spasmodic affections,
fever and ague, and every variety or general and lo
cal debility, their effect is most salutary ; and as ,a
means of lapwing( the system to re:let damp, cold,
poisonous s laments In the water or the air, priva
tion, exposure. de., no medicinal agent at present
known can be justly ccmpar, d with this pawertbl
vet isarialess tonic. The feeble and semildve, who
can Ili withstand the inclemency of the winter sea
son, w II ifind the BITTERS exactly the article they
need to fortify and sustain them.
No one can be too often impressed with the truth
of all disotdets which mankind are prone to, none
are of more prevalence at this Beason of the year
than those which manifest themselves in the lungs
and pulmonary organs. Dr. KEYSER'S PECTOR.
AL SYRUP is a speedy and tufidlible cure In all re
cent cases of coughs and lung diseases, and Dlt.
KF.YSe3I , B LUNG CURE In cues of long standing
and great obstinacy, will be found of inestimable
value. Therm Is scarcely ahouse or family In Pitts
burgh that cannot testify to Its merit., and instead
of a person wasting time on other inert and - insp.'
propriate remedies, let them walk themselves to
Dr. Keyser'', 140 Wood' street, where they will
find the right medicine adapted to their cure. The
Doctor has a long experience in medicine, and in,
these lung eases, ho has given tignal pr.of of his
great abilitt and thorough knowledge of all those
diseases In which the lungs take a prominent part.
His residence In Pittsburgh is over twentryears,
and thoudus °flits remedies is extended wherever
coughs are prevalent and long diseases to becured.

A FACT-OF-GREAT VALUE.
RAILY AY CONSOLIDATION.
At a 'meeting of the leading officers of the.
Pennsylvania Central and Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railivad Companies,
held on Friday last in Philadelphia, arrange
ments were made whereby the latter Com
pany passes under the management of and
is consolidated with the former corporation.
Negotiations for the consolidation of these
great railway arteries have been pending
many months, and it is given out that the
final agreement reached affords,the liveliest
satisfaction to the managers of both roads.
By the consolidation effected, the Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne and Chicago and pittsburgh,
Cincintusti and St. Louis Roads are consoli
dated with the Pennsylvania Central, which
will have control - of more than a thousand
miles of railway, and propeTty approxima
ting three hundred millions of dollars. This
movement is one of vast importance and be.
tokens the shrewdness of those at the head
of the gigantic corporation of our State.
The consolidation will afford almost direct
connection with the roads leading to the Pa
cific Coast now being constructed, and gives
the Central Company new and vast fields
for profit from freight and passenger traffic.
—Much to the surprise of the people of
Raleigh, North Carolina, Governor Bolden
has commuted the sentence of the negro
Alexander Willis, condemned to be execu
ted on the sth for the murder of Anderson
Selb, to imprisonment for life. It is a matter
of conjecture among many what could have
influenced such extraordinary executive
clemency. The murder was brutal and
atrocious beyond comparison, and still ex
cites the highest indignation among the
colored citizens here. A prominent Judge
of the Supreme Court is reported to have
said that •Willis has been a lunatic his entire
life. This may aceount for the Governor's
executive action. •
