The second session of the thirty-fourth
Congress commenced at Washington Monday.
The Congress, and of course the session also,
expires on the 4th of March next. The Pre-
sidents message, was sent in on Tuesday. 1t
reaclcs us too late for us to give it this week.
In the Senate, Monday, nothing was done,
except to send the usual messages to the
President and the House, to give notice
that the Senate was ready to proceed to
business. In the House there was a more
lively time, and the members made day
Of it The proposal to admit Whitfield to
be sworn in, as delegate from Kansas,
brought on n struggle at once. He was
rejected but the motion to reconsider and
to lay that motion ON the table, was
stav cd of The intention of the mover of
courscto have the was motion negatircd,
which would have ended the business at once
We are not aware that a great deal Of
mischief is expected from the present Con.
rress excepting the recognition of Whit
field, as delegate from Kansas, and the final
admission of Kansas with slave consti
tuition but in these days of southern rule,
there is no knowing what may not be sprung
upon the country. The re-establishment Of
the slave trade and war with Europe for
Cuba, will, however, probably be reserved to
gild with glory the administration of Mr.,
Buchanan.

The Democratic Jubilee

Came off Tuesday evening according to the pro-
gramme. The proper quantity of "villainous
saltpeter" was burnt. The rockets whizzed
into the sky. The torchlight procession,
numbering in men, boys and small boys,
about 500 went the rounds. The torch lights
showed finely, on the blackness Of the night,
and generally looked well, - better for
the most part than their bearers. Some
transparencies. with such hcetious notices
as Free Kansas" "Freedom without Ere
mont" were in the line. Bank Block was ilu
minated. as were also the houses of Messrs
Stamford, s. f. Howard, Whitney, Hunter,
Greene, Chase, and Smalley, in front Of
which the procession stopped and cheered.
1t brought up finally in Union Hall, where
tables had been set loaded with provisions
and supplied with barrel of strong beer and
a barrel of cider These wasted like snow in
midsummer before tho ranks of hungry
Irishmen who fell upon them they were
"a moment here, then gone forever" The
eatables were good while they lasted. The
music, furnished by the Burlington Cornet
Band, was first rate Of course OF the re
mainder of the proceedings probably the less

p. NJ. of Rutland and others. The dis
graceful and indecent insult to Mrs Fremont
offered by DR.. Russell of Middlebury, al,
luded to ly correspondent in another col
umn. was received, we learn. with unbound
ed applause and appreciation. 1t is unneces-
sary to remark that the labor of keeping
within any kind of bounds an assemblage of
the character of that in Union Hall last
night, cannot be small The Alarshals and
Managers, whose earnest endeavors to secure
some approach to silence and order met with
but such Indifferent success must have been
heartily glad when tat halfpast eleven
o'clock the motley gathering broke up and
dispersed. There is room for doubt, we be-
lioye, whether, on the whole, the affair was
credtable to Burlington.

The SIeakership,

Rumors and speculations about probable
and possible things to be done in Congress
are no more plenty than usual-and are
about as reliable as common, we suppose
The intimation given by some of the Wash
ington correspondents of an attempt to GUST
Mr.. Banks from the speakership, we put no
faith in. We suppose the House can choose
a new speaker when there is proper occasion
for it, The practice has been to consider the
sneaker as chosen for the entire Congress ;
and we believe there has never been devia-
ton from that practice, save where a
speaker has resigned his place, making a
new choice necessary.
That has happened but in two or three in
stances. we believe. LangdOn Cheves Of
South Carolina, under such a contingency,
succeeded Henry Clay in 1913, as did j. W.
Taylor of n. Y, in 1870. Also Andrew
Stephenson Of Va, resigned the Speakership
in 1884 and John Bell Of Tennessee, was
chosen in his place.
No doubt some would be ready to vent
their spleen on Dreaker Banks by elccting u
pro-slayery man in his place, if they dared TO
do it. Ills ability and impartiality has been
so signal that his enemies can do nothing
more than to threaten it.

The Boston Courier says that a measure of
reconciliation, which gives good promise of
success, 'has been devised by the Hon. John
Smith of st. Adams, Vermont, who is Pres.
dent of the Vermont and Canada Railroad,
and also Chairman Of the Vermont Central
Railroad Trustees, for the LIST mortgage seven
per cents,-by which, eight fiecnths of the
net income of both roads are to be paid to
the Canada stock holders, and the remaining
screen fHcenths to the bondholders, these
being the rates of interest to which they are
respectively entitled by contract. These
payments are to be made alternately, from
any surplus of money that may hereafter
happen to be accumulated. Whether the
plan provides that there shall be any surplus,
we are not informed.
Speaking of the printed report of the Trus-
tees of the Rutland Railroad, giving an ac-
count for fifteen months past, the Courier
says " The income has all been expended,
and there is unfortunately no prot pcct Of any
interest payments for some time to come. The
cost of the road has been increased by the
additional Indebtedness something overSGOOO
within the fifteen months. The Rutland,
Ogdensburg and Vermont Central roads have
turned out almost as bad as some Of the
