TIE THRTY-EIGHTH COHGREss.-The memora-
BILE Thirty-eighth Congress has closed it's labors
and will adjourn to-day. Its system Of legis-
lative acts in connection with the rebellion COM
prehend all the elements Of great political
revolution, and form the groundwork ofs task Of
Notwithstanding our political, fnan-
cial, domestic and foreign afairs-which may
not be settled for half century 10 como. In
their confscation, emancipation and recon-
struction schemes and financial experiments the
radical leaders of the two houses have com
mitted some mischievous and expensive here
sizes during the last two years; but with all
their follies and fanaticism they contrived to
bring about at last vigorous and successful
prosecution of the war, which was the main
business in hand. The most essential measures
before the late session have been carried
through, excepting the Bankrupt bill, which
will go over to the new Congress in December
next, unless in the interval we shall have an
extra session, which is not improbable. Con-
sidering the time wasted, the opportunities
lost, and the costs and losses incurred from
the fanatical legislation of this Thirty-eighth
Congress, we are glad that it has come to- an
end, although its last days were better than the
first. It was our "Long Parliament" 1t has
finished its course, and we are glad of it, what
ever may be in store for us with the Congress
which is next to come

| Our Jubilee OF vict0ry-The Celebrati0n
To-day.
From all the arrangements made, and the
patriotic spiriteverywhere prevailing in the city,
there is no doubt but that the celebration of our
great military and naval victories to-day will be
one of the grandest and most unique spectacles
ever witnessed in New York. The people of the
metropolis will turn out by hundreds Of thou
sands to behold the demonstration. People from
the country and all the adjoining cities will flock
in to see it Every interest in the city and its
surroundings win be represented. The military
will make magnificent display. The navy
representatives from the Navy Yard-sailors
and marines, with full rugged ship and
monitor-will swell the throng. All the
trades associations and other civic societies
will lend their aid, with symbols and banners
and allegorical illustrations of their several
avocatons. Europe, Asia and Africa win be
impressed into the service; for we are to have
elephants, and girafes, and walruses and other
strange animals in the line of march.
The operate and theatrical managers, who
favor the public with their Saturday natinkes,
will hurry up their business by an early COM
menOement so that their audiences may be out
in time to see the procession and hear the
speeches in Union square. By the way, we
might enggest to the country folks that the Aca-
denny of Music and the Hippotheatron, oppo-
site, would make convenient resting places
until the procession is organized. They could
delight their ears with Flotow's sweet strains in
Martha, and their eyes with the fairy illusions
ofMother Goose, while they are waiting for the
grand sights and sounds preparing out of
doors
: The weather, which was threatening yester-
day, gives promise Of bright skies to smile
upon the patriotic exhibition Of the nations
rejoicing over events which are to close up the
rebellion and restore prosperity, union and
peace. The authorities have taken mea-
sures to have the streets on the line of the pro-
cession thoroughly cleaned, SO that we shall
have good, dry roads for marching, such as, if
Grant had them now in Virginia, would insure
a speedy forward movement to the tune Of HOn
to Richmond" The public institutions have
arranged for national holiday. The Custom
House officials have got up some splendid in
terror decorations for the occasion. The stores
generally will be closed in the afternoon, and
all New York, which is not in the windows,
will be on the sidewalks. The "Streets Of New
York" hsve rarely presented 30 fine spectacle
as they will to-day; and the news of the celebra-
ton will gladden. the hearts Of eur gallant sol
diers and sailors, to whose valor the metropolis
of the Union has done SO much honor.

King Arthur was the founder of the eight
hour system Ee divided his day into three
parts-devoting one to sleep aud the cleansing
of his royal person; one to governing the people
whom he ruled so wisely, aud one to the culti-
vation Of his mind. He could do It. Hewss a
lucky fellow. He was aIking. But the first
editor who arose foolishly disregarded the good
monarch's example. He stuck his scissors into
one part ? his pen into another. and

since, struggle they never 80 strongly, never so

OLD VIRGINIA.

A popular Convention Of the ex.Rebel soldiera
of that portion Of Eastern Virginia which lies
between the Rappahennock and TIE Pamunky
rivers was recently held at the Bruinton
Church, King and Queen County, which was
inaugurated by sermon from the Rev. Mr..
Jeter, the eminent Baptist clergyman Of Rich.
mond, who was followed in speech by the
Hon. L. l.. Montague, Lieut.. Governor Of the
State while John Letcher was Governor, and
since Representative in the Confederate Con.
gress. His theme was 1.-The Responsibility Of
the Young Men of Virginia." and We 6nd his
discourse thus condensed in an admripg letter

FREE TsADK IN PAPER.
The Er.ni~s Post Of Yesterday says:

morning Journal reports that the rice In the price
n printing paper disturbing the minds OF the people
In those official bureaus ut Washington whsre II 10
authorities arc considering prcject Of building Gov
crument paper min at Great fafs on the Potomac" |"
Does IL not occur 10 these people that cheaper and
win make paper chssp not merely 70 Me Government
but TO tho people. 70.
This The Post calls little more nonsense
We don't agree with It; It Is good deal more.
The price Of psper abroad varies but little
from year to year, for the demand Ia steady. the
manufacture established on . sure basis. and
little improvement attempted. 1t could not
have been imported any time the last three
years except at the risk of loss, the cost
and charges making 1t, when delivered in
this country, about equal To the ruling
price of the domestic article. Take of the duty,
and the price, of course, would be lower, other
things being equal. But other things would mt
be equal; for the moment paper could be i'm
ported st profit the price abroad would be en-
hanced by the increased demand 10 q rate
quite equal to that which the duty gives,
and We should get paper no cheaper even
if we did MT have to pay more for it. But
it IL quite certain that we should have to pay
more, for Che moment we bring the foreign
manufacture into competition with onr own We
stop our own mills IL the domestic article is un.
dersold. The duty win not give our manufac.
turers more than living profit even if gold
were, at par. 1t, is the price Of ex.
change rather than the duty which
now affords protection and keeps the mills
running. 1t is nopsense, therefore, to suppose
that free trade in paper will reduce the price.
1t will have exactly the opposite effect by ruin
Ing our own manufacturers and making us de-.
pendent upon foreigners, who will have mo-
nopoly Of the market, and putting as at the
mercy Of any disturbance in foreign exchanges
This will be the immediate but rot the only evil
We have in this country abundance Of capital
and of ingenuity. Both seek employment in
the manufacture of paper. The first. Of course,
will keep aloof if it cannot be manufactured at o
profit. If it can, by keeping out foreign compe.
tition, then American ingenuity comes in to
compete for that profit, and the price Of ofpaperwil
be reduced by discoveries in raw material and i'm.
in methods. iWhon thst.tims comes,
