From Washington.
WASHINGTON. MAY l

WASHINGTON, May IL.
Six or seven weeks hence the Thirty-sev-
enth Congress will meet at the call OF Mr..
Lincoln, and in it will be represented the
nineteen non-slavehOlding States, and Della
ware, Maryland, and possibly Kentucky and
Missouri. At what stage they will find the
national controversy in July no one Can fore
tell. Open. fragrant and destructive war may
by that time have resulted from the present
preparations for conflict. The chief business
of the session will, in any event, be to sus-
tain what has been done by the Executive, to
aul hOrize new loans, and to augment the
navy aud the regular army. Whether any
measures of Cancellation will be attempted is
doubtful, though 1T is reported that the Pre-
sident will recommend certain amendments
to the Constitution, with view to concliate
the Border States. The representatives from
the city of New York will make al effort for
the repeal of the Morrill, tariff, but so far from
effecting it, the probability Is that, If double
duties are not resOrted to, a twenty per cent.
duty on nearly all the free articles will be
imposed.
New York is suffering as much from the
tariff and from the disturbance of her foreign
and domestic trade as any port OF the South
can suffer from blockade. The heavy and nu-
merous commercial failures that have occur
red during the last fortnight are so appalling
them from the public, and dependency be-
gins to succeed to the characteristic energy
of the New York merchant.
The banks will lend their gold to the gov
eminent because it is the only mode whereby
they can pay any dividends to their stock
holders. Offers of money to the government
for its support during the present crisis,
amount already to nearly as much specie as
the northern banks possess. Ii this is the
state of things in the commercial emporium
at the beginning of the civil war, what will
it be a year hence? Now there is a demand
for our bTeadstuffs, and returns in gold are
received. But the prospect of abundant
harvest in Europe are such, that this branch
of export trade cannot be relied upon for
another year. If, when the approaching SEES
sion of Congress shall terminate, there should
be single specie paying bank in the country,
it will be matter of surprise.
The government has, according to reliable
accounts, sent orders to Europe for the pur
chase of steam guEboats end other steam YES
sells of war, suitable for navigating shallow
waters. and great activity prevails at the
navy-yards in fitting out vessels for the
blockade of ports of seeded States.

apparently loaded with manure, but really
filled with arms. The time for dealing gently
with those who are engaged in such traffic is
past. The utmost severity should be exer-
cised, not only upon the immediate agents in
these Infamous proceedings but upon the
more prominent and responsible parties who
stand behind them. Hemp is the proper rem
edy. 1t is time that spies and traitors should
be treated as such. 1t is a mistaken humani-
ty to spare them. Deserters from the army
should be served in the same way. Leniency
in such cases is like encountering mob with
blank cartridges. We are dealing with foes
who are totally without principle. They re-
pudiate debts, seize property, public and pri-
vate, imprison bearers of dispatches. poison

heads in the mail bags, and even their ladies
