ME The Late Session of Congress. The thirty-three days, to which the Blast Congress "limited its first ses- . siou, Ware, on the whole, well spent". We are grateful fo• some excellent lng islittion completed, for .sorue - very - bad legislation prevented, and for the early adjournment. One or two measures that olight, to have passed were lost befweeu the Houses;' but on the other hand some exceedingly worthless ones shared the same fate. The act by which the session will, be-longest-remembered is-one for whose prompt passage wo have to tliank the so:scions statesmanshi . of Gen. Grant. MEE We mean the law that closes tho series of Reconstruction measures, and pro vides for)!the.crowningg_the_edifice.'!_ No timelier, wiser enactment has, these latter years, marked our progress toward restoration. W Vigil il~t~ end of the policy of hatred and revenge; the end of irritating and useless die . - franchisements ;, and the means of bringing to the next session of this Congress a full representation once more—for the firth time since 1860= of every State in the Union. It has Another and not less grateful signifi cance. It :isAhe first movement of the new Administration in matters of na tional policy Next to this, we - reckon the act to strengthen the Public Credit, a measure which this Congress only gained the honor of priming because of Mr. Jelin son's perversity in depriving the last one of it through his Pocket Veto. Its excellent effect was immediately per ceptible ;—if' now we can only re-en force it by using our surplus gold to buy up our botids.in the market, and ,by a relentless and thorough`collectiob" of our Cusloms and Inter'nal Revenue, we shell soon heou the highway to an era of sounder finances. The bill .to enlarge the judicial system by the ad dition s o . one Justice to the Supreme Court. and by the appointment of Cir cuit Judges who shall relieve the Su preme Judges of a part of their present onerous duties, is a measure the neces sity' of which the court docketS have long demonstrated, and the good re sults of which May soon be seekin the• more tepid disposal of carthes through out the various circuits.• The conclu -Rion :of - thrtTemirezof=olllclt - discussions we can hardly commend so highly. It retrains the principle which we hold_to be important .but does it in a blind, bungling way that was only accepted with satisfaction because it seemed un der the circumstances to be the hest ling then 'attainable: - The -1 mgllis puted Indian Appropriation bill, which was finally cut down to six and a quar ter millions, ought, we fear, to have been reduced yet lower. The experi- , meat of giving two millions of this . amount into the hands of a Commission of Friends, to.be disposed of according to their best judgment among the. In dians, promises w o cll, but, after all, it is one of tho,e. measures which,can only be judged by the resn , lt.., We-have the consolation that, in any event. they can hardly make things worse than at present The grant of further (ling to the li lnor-dealers for taking spirits - eut -of bond is one of those unfortunate pieces of legislation which now and then become tt law in some mysterious and doubtful manner. We have enumerated the main fea .turee• of this short session's work. The '➢letnphis andjll Paso bill, offering a chance-to-a--company-which -proposed to build a Pacific Railway without a suhsitly, tailed ; and so did the Census bill, but, on the other hand,•three or four objectionable measures that ace seemed likely to pass,' the Notional Bank tinkering, the West.
