Session Laws OF 1865.

Upon the first page of this weeks
TnANscmrr will be found part of
such acts of the last session Of the
General Assembly as the Secretary OF
State has designated for publication.
They are for the most part of general
interest: and we trust they will not be
overlooked. The one cstabhshin. a
Reform School will attract attention
because such school is obviously
needed and the wonder is that so de-
sirablc an institution has not been es-
tablished years ago in Vermont.
The acts defining the duties Of
State officers aud for the protection
and benefit Of the State Treasury, pro-
viding for taxing bank stock, relating
to .he collection of taxes, sale Of shares
of stock in private corporations, in re-
gard to Railroads and the Grand list
and tho several other acts III this
weeks issue will challenge the atton-
ton Of every person anxious to be well
informed in regard to the legislation
of this State.
The residue of the session laws of
the October session, 1865, viii be con
tanned in the next number of the
TmNscmrr. They will be found in two
numbers Of our paper and can, there
fore, be readily preserved and referred
to-
We have been obliged to use small
or type than we generally employ in
order to present them within a mar
row compass; but we trust that they
will be read generally and not be re-
garded as so much waste space

The NEXT CoNGREss.- The United
States Senate, at the opening of the
next session on Monday, Dec. 18th, will
consist of 3S Unionsts and II Demo-
Gratis. 1t is not known now how many
Senators will be in Washington this
winter claiming seats from the seeded
States, but in no event can there be
enough to weigh down the Union
strength. The same also may be said
of the House. The Representatives
who will take seats of course are POI
litically divided, as follows

By From various sections of the
country news reaches us of alarming
increase of outrages on persons and
property. 1t would seem that the
present is the high carnival of crime.
Highway robberies are frequent; bur
glaries have become 80 alarming that
in some parts of the country it is dan
gerous to walk in the streets after
O'Clock at night. The disappearance
of one of the leading men in this coun-
ty for nearly three weeks and no clue
to his discovery yet found is but one
item in the series Of fearful chapters
OF crime which our exchanges through
on. the Country are ehronicling from
week TO week and from day TO day.
Ii the police are unable to meet the
exigency, the people must take the
matter into their own hands. Vigi-
innce Committees throughout the
country will be indispensably neces-
sary if this carnival of crime should
increase or continue.

The BRIGANDs OF THE STOCK EX-

stock is a specimen of that combina-
ton Of gambling, conspiracy and theft
which, at the New York Stock Elk
change, passes under the name of bust
ness A road that has never paid n
dividend rises l24 per cent in one day,
from the simple fret that conspiracy
of the bears to plumber the bulls was
checkmated by conspiracy of the
bulls to plumber the bears Had the
money been lost in a gambling saloon,
and had the losers failed in conse-
quence they would have been discred-
tied ms men of business, but as they
have merely become bankrupt in an
attempt to swindle they will be simply
considered unfortunate" In regard
TO stock Operations" all the ordinary
principles of business morality are sus-
pended by mutual consent, and utter
prohigacy of intention and decd u,

honor We have sometimes wondered
why the burglars and gan blers of
New York do not attempt. like the
brokers, to make their professions re-
spectacle They might select a Wall
street OF their own, and SO conduct
their affairs that their Operations
would be quoted in The business and
NOT the police departments OF the Now

The next Session Of Congress.


The first session of the Thirty ninth
Congress will open at Washington on
Monday next, December 4th, 1865.
The questions which will occupy its
attention will be of the gravcst mo-
ment. The Congress of Delegates
which adopted the Declaration Of In
dependence was an all-important one
in the history Of the world, and SO was
tho later body which drew mp the con
stituton that made one undivided ma
ton of the thirteen colonies. But the
problems, now and presently to be
solved and which must be acted upon
by the Thirty-ninth Congress, have
given to this Congress an Importance
which has not hitherto attached to
any dclibcratiyc body on this CONT
nent.
The principal subject which will en-
gross the attention of Congress must,
OF course, be reconstruction or the re-
Mobilization of States lately in rebel
lion with their former rights and priv
ileges save that Of the system Of
slavery.
The admission of recently elected
members of Congress from late insur-
rectionary States will undoubtedly oc-
casion deep feeling and protracted de
bate. Then the financial policy to be
adopted is matter in which the
whole country is deeply concerned.
The national debt is immense. Our
paper currency now amounts to some
FIVE hundred millions which must
somehow be brought TO a specie stan
dard, and the task with which the Sec
rotary of the Treasury has to grapplo
is gigantic enough
Aside from the ovcrshadowing mag
nitude Of the two great questions Of
Reconstruction and the Finances,
there ROMAN the matters of the status
of the freedmen and how they are to
be managed and provided for-the
claims against the British Government
for divers acts of omission and com
misson-the Austro-French occupa-
ton of Mexico and the application
thereto of the so called Monroe doc
trine.
These and other subject-mattcrs
connected herewith must be passed
upon by the Thirty-ninth Congress and
can not well be postponed. They will
demand the utmost ability of Con
gress to determine and in the first an.
nual message of President johnson
the country will most probably Obtain
the first official indication of the pol
icy of the ad ADMINISTRATION.
The action of the Thirty-nintl
Congress must, therefore, consti-
tute an important era in the history
of these United States. Every person
ought to be familiar with the PROPOSE
tons which are introduced into Con
gress in settlement of the several mat
tiers of public policy to which we hav
referred. Every congressional debat
in which prominent members of tn
Senate or House take part ought to /
read with interest us its details al
borne far and near on the wings ,
the press.
In 80 far as the TRANscRIPT is col
cerned, it is our purpose to give froi
week to week such summary
news as will enable its readers to III
derstand the position of public affair
as reflected in Congress.
The political classification of ii
next Congress is-House -Unionist
143; Democrats, Al The Souther
States not represented are entitled [
IS members. Unionists, 81
Democrats, IL. The unrepresente
States are entitled to % Senators.
