Congress met on Monday last with a determination of ihe part oi Northern Democrats to prevent the indulgence of eo much chin mutic by tbe Brigadier. It hurt during tLe extra session, and now "mum is tbe word." We will male a note at tbe result. Govebnob Hovt has manfully withstood tbe pressure brought to bear on bim to call aa extra eesoion of tbe Legislature this winter, lie told an unfortunate member a few days since, that "he would rather pay the Pittsburgh riot losses him self, than call an extra session of the Legislature." It will be remembered that a couple of months since, a white Dara ocrat at Blackville. South Carolina, shot Postmaster Nix, (colored,) fur tbe sake of getting rid of a d d nig ger, and that tbe authorities refused to take any steps to arrest and punish the assassin. Last week another white ruffian shot William Nix the Postmaster's brother because ise is an active Republican. The repudiators in Virginia tar ried tbe State at the late election, by pjruuadmg some of tbe negroes to vote with tbem with the argument that, the State debt was created while they were slaves, that tbey derived no bentGt from it, aad there fore were Justified in voiiDg not to pay it. Nuw, wincing under tLe coutemot of the world for thus rob bing their creditors, tbey are meanly charging the theft to the negro vote, and arguing therefore, the Degioes are not to be trusted w ith the election francuie. At last we hare found tie fellows wto are "wean enough to steal the pennies from a dead uiggers eyes." The Democrats of Indiana are scared badly scared and are urg ing upon the party managers tbe necessity of increasing their vote at tbe next Presidential election by im porting ten tbousaud farm laborers from Kentuckey. It baa always been asserted that about five thousand Keutuckiaus voted in Indiana in IS7G and thus gave tho State to Tilden and Hen dricks, and tbe open propositions now by tbe Democratic journals of that State to repeat tbe fraud, not only goes far to prove the truth of the former allegation, but shows that tbe State is Republican on a fair and bonest vote. The advocates of General Hancock for President are laboriously attempt ing to prove that he didn't bang Mrs. Suratt. It is a guilty conscience that makes tbem so nervous. When Gen eral Hartraoft was first a candidate for Governor they attempted to bold him responsible for her death, and now they are fearful of the rebound. The truth is Andrew Johnson sent her to the gallows in accordance with the finding and sentence of tbe court that tried her, and Hancock who was in charge of the military deparvment and Hartraoft who was a subordin ate officer in the same department simply as good soldiers obeyed orders. Tbe indictments found against Charles B. Salter and others by the grand jury of Dauphin county for attempted bribery of Legiolators in connection with the bill for tbe pay ment of the Pittsburgh riot losses, was last week squashed by tbe Court at Harrisburg Judge Pearson, presid ing. The defease proved tbat al though the record showed tbat but twenty-three grand jurors were sworn, yet twenvy-toar actually were in the jury room, participated in tbe investigation and atsent to the find ing of the bill. According to law, but twenty-three jurors can legally act, and therefore the bill found by twenty -four was illegal, and tbe Court could do nothing less than squash it or set it aside. Tbe prose cutors have expressed their determin ation to send a new bill before the next grand jury, eo tbat tbe defend ant gain nothing bnt a few weeks delay by tbe miscarriage cf tbe for mer indictment. Tns politicians are laboring earn estly to provide for General Grant in some way that may preclude his be. ing a candidate next year for Presi dent One scheme is to make him President of the propoeed Inter aational Niearanga canal at a sala ry of $25,000 per annum with a pro ppective increase, in case tbe canal proves a success. Another is, to have the present Congress create the office of Captain General of tbe armies of the United States, with a liberal salary, and appoint him to this position with tbe proviso that he is not to perform active duty, and that General Sherman is to remain in command. Meanwhile .the Gea ral quietly puffs away at bia cigar, and tbe people are booming for him as their candidate. It tppears to be a contest between thj politicians who do not want him to be again elected President of the United States and the people w no do. The present session of Congress will have much to do with settling the question of which side eh all win.

Tbe astute Democrats who fear the tffecte of Suutberu arrogance and brag, if tbe flood gates of debato are once opened, favor a short eesfclon, and only necessary routine business, areuing very plausibly tbat to tBke up business where they laid it down at the tloee cf tbe extra tession, would be a act of supreme folly, afier the condemnation received at tbe late election, but tbe Brigadiers relying upon their strength in a solid South, and bsiag mainly B jurbons, who forget nothing ' 1 learn noth liic. may prove muiicu on their bands', I aud deciiie to confess tbe er:,r cf J their ways, which tbey inut neces sarily do, if tbey abandon the policy pursued at the last tt-st-iun. Tms will be tbe first question to be Kt tled, and the Northern Democrats who are all looking to a re-election, and who have encountered very posi tive evidence of Northern sentiment, ail! have to steadily maul&iu their ground, or bid adieu to all hopes of f Uiure success. We do not count much ta North ern Democratic buck-boue as a gen eral thing, but here the fibt will be t-uoreuielv te!5.-h, ia fact Lr future political t-xirteiice, aud is likely to be a stubborn one, Taking it for grauted then tbat the Northern brethren will win ia this struggle for life, it follows tbat but little if auy public business but what is absolutely necessary will be trans acted, aad tbat the session will ucces sarily b.-a do-nothing one, devoted maiuly to blocking cut a platform, and attempting to Bgree upon can didates for tbe coming Pre.-identiul election Possibly an attack may be made upon tbe banks, or on some particular brarich of industry, or tbe taxes be lowered on some article and placed upm another, for tbe purpose of getting up a good campaign cry, but manifestly tbe cue cf tbe astute leaders will be to "go slow." If ou tbe other hand the irreconcilables lake tbe lead, then cbaoa will come again, the session will be long acd stormy, and tbe confederate Democracy will simply commit barri-karri. Of course we couut upon tbe Republicans preserving a masterly neutrality in this fight, and standing ready at all times to meet a consolidated foe, and pu-b on tbe legitimate business of tbe session. It ii an extraordinary fact tbat the Uaitsd States peasioa roll growa larger from year to year. In tbe conrse of nature invalid soldiers die ; the widows of deceed soldiers re marry, aad thus f rfei - their pensions ; all tbe children bora duriug the war either have pa-teed or are fast ap proaching tbe age of sixteen, at which pensions cea-w; d"pajea! mothers are droppiag off, aad yet li3 abro gate sum required to pay peueions is larger than ever before. The next cenxus and tbe re-distribution of political power oa its ba-ti in the lower U usi of Congress, aud in the election of President aud Vice Presideut, will mike sad work with tbe Solid S -utb. The South will gain not more than a dtzen mem bers of Congress, aud this gain will be mainly ia Texas. Tbe Wert aod tbe North, on tbe other hand, will gain between fify and sixty mem bers, tbe most of tbem coming from tbe Northwest. This great gaia is ia that section of the country in which tbe principles of the Republican par ty have taken tbe deepest loot Tbe oue hundred ail thirty eight elector al rote3 from tbe S.did South wi , after tbe next census aad tbe appoint ment of representatives aaderit, need a very much larger Democratic sup plement from the North than at pres ent in order to wia a Presidential election. New York will cea.e to be tbe pivotal State. Political power wili lie in tbe West, and that power will be Republican. Herein lies tbe secret of the desperate effort of tbe Democracy to get control of the Gov ernment at tbe present time, with tbe aid of tbe "Solid South," and their discouragement over tbe out look tor 1880 Geltijybur'j Star.

A feaiful torutt'lo played havoc iu the south western portion of this city this morning. Tnose wbo saw it say tbat one immense black cloud came up Irora the southwest at four minutes to six o'clock. It was a black aud gloomy spectacle. As it neared the oily it was seen to be revolving at a fearful rata. Directly a deluge of raia began to fail, lit up by a red electric light. It seemed to those who witnessed it tbat tbe world was coming to an end, and doubtless tbe people ia the track pursued by the whirl wiud truly thought so. It struck tbe city at the far end of Fourth street, Rer. Stuart Robinson's house being one of the first to suffer ; thence it coutiuuea ia a northeastern direc tion, leaving tbe city at Cavehill. Tbe south fence of Central Park is all blown down. The old Louisville base ball park is completely riddled, not tbe least portion of the feuce standing, except half of the east side. Tbe roof of tbe grand stand is smash ed into kindliug wood, and blown away, ibe ground and streets are strewn with broken boards and tim bers. Dr. Stnart Robinson's house is slightly damaged. Tbe greatest dam age was done to tbe Laval Crystal Palace distillery, at tbe end of First street. Here, trom across the com mons, it bad full sweep, and great damage was done. A new brick warehouse was completely blown down, not a brick beiug left standing of the south aud west walls. The warehouse contained 300 baraels of whisky, only three of which were de stroyed, ibe tin root ot tbe ware- bouse was blown off and torn into fragments like so much paper. Por tions ot u were carried into a held a quarter of a mile away. Tne Alain street distillery building, which i a frame, was also damaged, bnt slight ly. The chimney was blown down and tbe root injured. - Tbe total loss to tbe distillery will reach $500 From here the toroad seemed to take a leap to .Mechanic street, be tween Preston aud Shelby streets, and here it was ia its fiercest fury Tnere is hardly a bouse ou tbe street named thai is not more or- less dam aged, Tbe street is covered with shiugles and broken boards. Adam Schuster's two story brick had tbe roof carried off, several windows blown in and ibe west side badly damaged. At Cave Hill Cemetery the torna do seemed to have been excei dingly vicious. Tbe immense solid stone gateway was blown down and torn to pieces. Two-thirds of it is a com plete wreck, the stones being bo bad ly broken that tbey cannot be ssed again. It will cost about $400 to re store it. Inside the cemetery it looks S8 though it had been cannonaded. A large uumber of trees and shrubs were blown down and many monu ments were razed to the ground.
