rB The opposition minority in Con-
E7css are in good deal Of trouble Of vari-
ous kinds. They are unable to concentrate
upon any policy or procedure, and that
for the reason that they have no common
policy upon which they can stand Before
the fall elections they were bold, confident
and defiant. They were to elect the
Speaker, and to do things generally to
their mind. The New York Herald spent
month or two in cutting out complete
programme Of operations, with Fernando
Wood at their head, for the whole e:==on.
But the elections took the starci, cut of
them, and when they came together in
Congress, they made far sorrie- show
than the country anticipated
Ono element in their calculations failing
them alone was sufficient to defeat their
whole policy. The Border State men did
not stand fire rs they expected It was
supposed by them, and indeed by the coun-
try ut tlarge, that all these men would act
together on policy, known as that Of the
Border States, without thinking that that
policy had outliyed its natural life, and was
dead Of old age already. The coalesence
of the Border State men with the other
parties, threw the democracy into confu-
sion and route; and were their aims patri-
otic and respectable, their case would de-
serve pity. But who can pity such men

e| The recent information commune

The monitors seems to settle their value
pretty clearly. It may be summed up
about thus: Both for offense and defense,
as against other vessels, they are not to be
despised- In no such case have they failed
TO do the business expected Of them in a
very summary manner. The first Monitor

againSl lie Atlanta, IRE cases in point
But for offensive attack upon forts or vel1
constructed earth-works, they have not
amounted to much; Fort McAllister,
Charleston and Fort Darling all tell one
story.
Then, as to ocean work-as to sailing
abroad? When fit women prove to be
good runners; when ducks beat foxes in O
foot race; and when mud.urtles take to
hunting anse1opes, and do good business
ut it, then We may look out for great re-
suits upon the ocean and upon foreign
shores from the monitors. The first one

nor rything they were ut first expected
to do. We may, therefore, have too many

bination Of the elements Of discord in this
Congress, without some very extraordinary
turn in affairs There are two distinct
parties among themselves, independent of
any natural incoherency Of make and dis
position. A part were elected as thorough
paced peace men; and part as advocates
OF more vigorous prosecution Of the war.
and though no principle or care for con-
sistency might avail to hold them to the
idea which elected them they very well
Know that their constituents. hare memo
RIGS; and that some regard will have to be
paid 10 pledges made before election. The
two policies Of peace and war are 50 dis
tinct that they cannot be united nor can
citherpaHy 60 over to the other, without
the most fragrant disregard Of truth,
pledges, and consistency, all together.
They. will each have to stick to their text,
or be branded as most outrageous hypo-
critics, 30 outrageous indeed as to def y all
hope Of escape from political retribution.
The result Is pretty easy to be seen be-
forehand. II the opposition can make no
better show in this Congress, what chance
will they stand in regard to the coming
election ? There is scarcely ghost Of an
opportunity for them. They have only the
poor alternative of standing by, and watch
ing for the governing party to commit
some gross error upon which they con
seize as relief to their waning fortunes.
The lesson then is plain one to be read
by the Government aud its supporters; F;
and that is to act with vigor, prudence,
fairness, and honesty. II these do not carry
the Government through, and continue
the present Administration in power, we
can think Of nothing else which will do
them any good The card at present is in
the hands Of The Administration.

stopped By a band of insurgents, whose chief,

must die for having betrayed them to the
Russians. In vain the jew protested his In

village, not in any way connected with the

Jacob schrincr and Adam Snowbcrecr,

Agnes. About three weeks ngo Sn6wbereeft
suddenly disappeared, and On Inquiries being
made Us to his whereabouts, Schfiner replied
that he supposed he had gone to the army or
to Ohio to visit his father. On Tuesday OF
last week schriner's wife, Elizabeth, died
very suddenly aud was buried the next day.
Suspicious Of foul play were nroused among
the neighbors, and Schriner was arrested:
Search was made and SnoHberger's body was
found in brush heap 20 or so rods from
schriner'e house, his head split open with the
sharp edge Of m axe.
scbrincr confesseR TINT he killed Suowber-

quarrel or proTocation whatever. He soys
that he was put up to it by Snowberger's
wife; that he was to kill Snowbcrger, and

that ever occurred in this county.
