Congress-,

The thirty.6fth Congress expired at
noon, on Friday last and we doubt not
that the country has since experienced
sense of relief that it has been stranger
to for months past. The hope that any
thing good would come out Of it, died out
some time since. And if by any chance
wholesome enactment might be made
there was no question tina. the President
would make haste TO put his foot upon it.
Very seldom does session of Congress
open when there is such general looking
to it for relief, or when its duties to the
country re 20 palpablc us at the opening
Of the session which has just closed. Not
only was immediate relief called for, but
it was hoped that measures would be in.
stituted which would yield their richest
fruit 10 generations yet to come. But
fond anticipations Of good were made to
give place to trembling hope that our
worthless aw.givers might DO restrained
from the evil thoy meditated.
Till very near the close Of the session
they were determining what not to do
and how not to do it" and for few Of
the closing hours they applied themsslvs,
to doing the little they must necessarily
do in order to keep the wheels In motion.
Amendments and riders were hcapcd one
upon another until it was doubtful If the
members themselves to know what the
passage of bill implied. The substance
Of their last acts seem TO be about this |:
there is no revision Of the tariff there 10

there is no augmentation Of the rates Of
postage and no appropriation for the sxpen.
ses Of the Department; and the President
afirms that 1t will be necessary to call an
extra session for this purpose only. An
extra session Of the Senate was called i'm.
medatcly, for the transaction Of txecutive
business.

Tho Washington Murder.

We were able, in our last, from a tclc-
graphic dispatch to anuounce,in the brief
est manner, the fact of the homicide at
Washington. Since then the press has
been tccming from day to day with fur
Their particulars" and an endless amount
of moral and political science has been
made to shine upon the case while it has
been or will be the subject of silent or
open discussion in every household of the
land. We have elsewhere given extracts
sufficient for full statement of the facts.
Assassination and murder In almost
every form have been Of frequent occur
renee, and the daily press is always highly
spiced with such intelligence, but very
rarely or never has an item of this sort
produced an equal sensation. Nor |. it
surprising that it should produce the effect
it has. Suddenly, the grze of the whole
country has beC n turned upon Washington
while its inner life has been exposed, and
VIC see there, in the highest walks, a rot.
tenness which would almost shame the
Court Of Charles II. Hardly can any
true lover of his countrys honor help
wondering, not that such homicide could
be perpetrsted. but that Ere does not fall
from heaven and destroy them all.
We do not propose to discuss the quss-
ton whether Daniel E. Siokles 10 to b
justified In as,assinating Key. Though
aome newspapers, even in our own State,
undertake 10 exoierate him, We presume
it is not necessary tc argue to our readers
that two wrongs do not make right,
that adultery does not Justify deliberate
murder. The aspects Of this case, to which
attention is chiefly directed, are not those
to which most importance attaches. Muir.

when the parties are the makers and the
agents of law, but still more that the law.

have a well grounded assurance that b.

is an astonishing lack Of appreciation o.

Mr.. Sickles. the member for the Third
District of New York, is n native Of
Washington and was originally printer
by occupation. He IS man Of nearly
forty years of age; Of good presence and
graceful manners. As member Of the
n. Y. Senate. as well MS in the House Of
Representatives; he had made himself re.
marked by n quite unusual GOODNESS and
possession, which gave him great advOn-
tages in debate and had acquired for him
well.dcsclvel reputation as rising
young leader of the Democratic party.

She is Of Italian origin, and possesses all
the Italian lustre and depth ofeye, united
with singular candor and delicacy of

Mr.Sicklcs had seen her grow up from
childhood, and was attached TO her with
on almost dolatrous affection. Shortly
after their marriage, Mr.. Scklcs was NJ.
pointed Secretary Of the American Lega.
tion at London, in the household of Mr.
Buchanan. and his beautiful bride won
universal admiration abroad, not more by
her charms of person and manner than by
the gavcty and innocent ioyousness of her
character, On their return to America
they resided for some time on the Bloom
ingdae road, in a charming house over
looking the Hudson river and on his elec
