THS ORGANIZATION or C0NdREss-A Coon
BEoHN1Na.-We have good report Of the art
days proceedings Of the present extraordinary
session of Congress. In the Senate forty-two
members were present. including Bayard, Of
Delaware; Brechnridge and Powell, Of Ken.
lucky; Polk, of Missouri; Pearoe and Kennedy,
Of Maryland, and johnson of Tennessee, repre-
senting slave States. The presence Of Breoktn-
ridge and Polk in the Senate of the United
States in the face of all the reports of their ad-
hesion to tho rebellious government Of JEFF.
Davis, is very significant of the utter hopeless
ness Of the secession cause In Kentucky and
Missouri; while the pres ence of Senator John.
con from Tennessee shows the irrepresslble
strength OF the Union sentiment even In the re-
VOTED States.
The several war bills, of which notice was
given by Senator Wilson, indicate prompt,
efficient and comprehensive programme Of ls-
gislation in support of the Presidents war
policy.
In the House Of Represe Natives various
trivial and secondary propositions and ques.
tons were laid aside, in order TO proceed a.
once to business. Mr.. Grow, of Pennsylvania,
YVES elected Speaker without difficulty, Mr.
Blair, Of Missouri, his Only formidable
rival, Withdrawing after the fest vote,
in order to facilitate the organization.
Mr.. Grow was considered as having q sort of
presumption claim to the Office, and no doubt
'he desire to get rid Of Forney as Clerk as
gracefully as possible had some considerable
il auerce in favor of Grow for Speaker. Hav-
| ing thus been elected, of course Pennsylvania
could not insist upon having the Clerk as well
as the Speaker; and 20 Forney has fallen under
tie rule Of rotation, and the loyal and fearless
Union men of Tennessee have been gracefully
| re ccgnized in the election of the OK member OF
Congress Esheridge, of that State, to the ia
effice of Clerk. He is good, active man, and
| his election to this responsible post will very
materially strengthen the Union cause in Ten
nsssee. Mr. Grow, from his experience in, ano
intimate kLowledge OF, the rules Of the House,
will make good Speaker.
Altogether the opening proceedings in both
homes are indicative of active work without
| loss of time.

The CONDITION OF THE STREETs-Our streets
are in dirty, unsavory condition, as all who
have recently passed through them must be
aware. Why is this? Is the public health to
suffer because of strike among the dirt cart
men, caused by the uncertainty Of their rccev-
ing payment from the contractor? 1t is dis
graceful to the city that the work Of the Corpo.
ration should be 80 ineficiently performed, and
that contracts should be given to men who are
Incapable of performing them. At the present
season particularly it is matter of the greatest
sanitary necessity that the acavengers should be
kept at their task, and the attention of the city
fathers ought to be at once directed to the mat

THE CBEvATLER FORNEY LAID ON THE
SuELp-The House Of Representatives, in SUI,
persedipg the Chevalier Forney as Clerk of
that body, has done good thing in behalf of
retrenchment and reform in the lobby. Very
literally paid for his party services, Forney
has been very properly laid by the republicans
on the shelf. From the pickings and per-
quisites, odds and ends and sweepings of The
Clerks Office and the lobby, Forney has doubt
less laid up something for rainy day. There.
fore we would advise him to retire TO Wheat
land and rejon his old friend, Mr.. Buchanan,
in the shades Of private life Between Mr.
Buchanan's lamentable sins Of omission as our
Chief Magistrate and Forney's numerous sins
of commission as a party politician 1t is pro-
bable that no other two living men can b.
found who are so responsible as they are for
these awful troubles of state o: civil war
which now affitct our unhappy country. Mr.
Buchanan, we are sure, needs now the presence
of some sympathizing friend; and as misery
loves company, let Forney GEEK ont his old pc.
litical guardian, make it all up with him, and
thus they will be enabled to console each other
for tSeir Losses and CROSSES 10 these dreadful
tines.

FOURTH OF July ORArIoNs.-The Fourth of
July has come aud gone. The national holiday
has been celebrated, as Of yore with all kinds of
public rejoicings. Military parades, fireworks,
speeches and public addresses have been the
order of the day. Among tho latter were two
orations by the Hon. Edward Everett and the
Hon. Hiram Waibridge. The one by the Bos.
ton orator was long, very locg, taking up
eleven columns Of our public newspapers; the
one by the metropolitan orator was short--and
this is the only difference between them. In
other respects the Grafton of Gen. Walbridge
was equal to that Of the New England orator.
But what Is the use of these orations? The
question that now absorbs the public mind
has been talked about for thirty years by
statesmen, politicians and demagoaues. And
what is the result. We have it before us Now
is the time for action, and not for talking.
