pn Congress, before adiournlnr, passed
an act making postage stamps a hy" ten
der for amounts under five dollars. The
stamps are to bo printed on thick paper
and without muciago on the back,ahd TO
Jeor the value Of three, ten, twenty lour,
sixty and ninety cents. The act also pro-
hibits Banks from issuing notes OF ices
denomination than one dollar.
We would like to know if the people OF
Pennsylvania will elect a Legislature this
fall mean enough--or men OF the same
cnlibro Of our congressmen-and they pass
an act ollowirg the banks Of this State to
issue notes of less denomination than
one dollar, how will Congress prevent 1t.
Congress may legislate for the benefit OF
the negro, but it cannot also usurp the
duties of a State Legislature.
The "twin relics of barbarism, polyga-
my and Slavery" as styled toy the Black
Republican Platform Of 1856, have boon
wiped out 10y the present Congress. 1t
now remains to be seen whether these
"twin relics" will be banished from our
land, the simple edicts Of the late Jaco'
bin Club that have held forth in the Ma.
tional Capitol for the past oight months,
for the benefit Of jeff. Davis & Co., and
the negro.
The halls Of Congress have been the
best recruiting stations the Southern Con.
federacy had in existence, and we are
pleased to know that the adjournment
will naturally diminish the recruits here
tofore focking to Davis standard. The
Washington station conducted by SUM
ner & Co., has furnished more men for the
rebel cause, than all the recruiting sta
tions in Dixie"
ne4.C Congress adjourned on Thursday
last, having been detained one day at the
request of the President, who, it seems
was not satisfied with the conhscat:on bill
as presented to him. 1t seems that he
had prepared eeto Of this bill. But Con-
gress seems to have had an intimaLion OF
what was coming and modified their act to
suit the Pres. dent, when he approved the
bill but in doing 50 also transmitted the
rcto message.
As the law now stands the property of
rebels is only conhscated during the life
time OF the person attainted. This is in
accordance with the Constitution. Slaves
of rebel masters are to be set free, and all
persons OF color are to be used in such
manner as the President my direct,
rea.We learn by the Harrisburg 1tlc-
cgrdph, that contrary to all for custom,
when the Emperor learned of the arrival
of our Minister, Mr.. Cameron, at st. Pes
tcrsburg, lie at orce had an audience with
aim.
The Telegraph heralds this forth for
Misunderstanding full well that the
world has harbored great scoundrels, as
we'll as good men.
No Minister ever left this country With
such an emphatic condemnation Of his
conduct as Simon Cameron-all OF which
was patent to the Russian Emperor, and
he no doubt wanted him where he could
watch him.
Another attack upon the Government
and another effort in aid Of Rebellion"

blind, by having the negro constantly
dangling before their eyes, that they can
never distinguish the difference between
