ADJOURNMENT.

There are those who are anxious that Con-
gress should adjourn because they feel that it
ia daily strengthening itself and the principles
which elected the great body Of its members IN
the confidence and love of the People They
remind us strongly OF the culprit who observed
to the Judge who was trying him that LIS re-
marks were personal and offensive, and he
would thank him to discontinue them or change
the subject.
Thi. Congress has made mistakes and com.
mitted errors but it is nobly redeeming them.
That its members should be anxious to ad'
iourn, we can realize but the country cannot
spare them while the Rebellion still shows o
bold front OF Richmond or elsewhere. When
its regular power is broken by signal defeat,
and it enters upon the threatened phase OF
guerrilla warfare, the members may properly
consult their own comfort and advantage by
adjournment.
But at all events there can be no adjourn
ment till the Revenue measures are perfected,
including readjuStment of the Tariff to the
Tax-bl now nearly matured. And it seems
to Us imperative that the bill proposed by Mr..
Colfax, Furnishing fraudulent contractors and
their accomplices in the public service, should
become law. The wretches who amass wealth
by supplying our brave soldiers with guns that
are more dangerous TO those who handle them
than to those at whom they are aimed, with
shoddy uniforms, horse hair blankets aud paper
shoes, with tainted meat and musty -four, musi
not be suffered to 60 longer unwhipt Of
Justice. Grant that but ono contract in a
hundred is thus sbumsiully fulfilled, that is just
one in a hundred too many, and costs the
country a million dollars for every hundred
thousand made by the swindiDg contractor.
lie is public enemy who merits condign pun
