FRIDAY, gath AUGUST 1866.

IT affords us much pleasure to notice
the celebration of the 25th anniversary OF
the Sunday Schools connected with the
Episcopal Church at F~rederiksted on the
22nd instant.
At 4 o'clock p. m. the Scholars and
Teachers amounting to nearly 400, head
ed by the Revd. Mr.. Dubois, the Revd.
Mr.. Branch, the Revd- Mr. Rartels, and
the Infant School, passed in procession
to the Church with 3 silk banners appro-
priately ornamented, where they were
arranged in classes, the organ playing a
voluntary. A hymn having been sung
by the Choir and Children the Revd. MIR.
Branch and the Revd. Mr.. Bartels in
pleasing and impressive language adj
dressed the Children, pointing out the
great privilege of religious instruction
this congregation had now for 25 years en-
ioyed-the advantages of this most ad-
mirable institution and their duties, as
we'll as those of their parents, under such
great blessings.
The Revd. Du Bots then distributed
the prizes for proficiency and good con-
duct during the past year, and returning
his thanks to the teachers for the kind
and Cnwearying assistance he had re-
ceived from all in carrying on this good
work.
The children returned to the School
House in the same order in which they
left it, and after singing very sweetIy a
Hymn selected for the occasion, the re-
freshments prepared were distributed
Another Hymn closed the days happy
celebration.
The School House was, through the
kind aid of the good friends of the Insti-
tuition, very tastelulIy ornamented with
wreaths of flowers and appropriate texts
of Scripture traced in green leaves on
the wall, while the Danish and English
National flags combined, waved over the
entrance.
Great credit is due TO the children and
their teachers for the order and decorum
which prevailed throughout the afternoon,
and the delighted and happy faces Of the
scholars augured well for the coming
years success.

Constitutional Revolution.

/, 1t can be shown, wo believe, by legi.
innate reasoning that the Northern peo.
pie are responsible for the position taken
by the South in 1861. In other words,
the relation of the South to the Constl-
tuition remainedt the same as that of its
trainers, but the relation Of the Northern
people underwent tile change. And
the war was contest to maintain that
Constitution as understood, by Washing
ton, by Jefferson, and indeed by all tho
Presidents of tho United States. In
proof of this we are willing TO assert
that the future government Of the
Union will be more centralized or con.
solidated than ever it was before the
war. - . ,-.r

Cost of Congressional Printing.

The magnificent manner in which everything
was done in Washington during the war, was
strikingly illustrated in the prices paid for the
public printing. The Washington correspon-
dent OF Western journal states that the print
ing for Congress during the last year cost more
chan t.cO millions of dollars. He adds: "lt
=. threatens to exceed this sum this year. /
g. learn that it will take two years to print
"a what Congress will order this session, and
6. what has already been ordered, il a stop is
not nut to the prodigality heretofore eNhio'-
.- tea"
This wasteful extravaganza is extending
from Washington to the various State capitals
in the North. The Legislatures are initiating
Congress on = small scale. Hundreds of thou
'auds of dollars are yearly expended for useless
printing in order to reward partisan services.

vet, &c lenders ere many and borrowers are
few, the current rate may be under six. But,
in any event, the stay law will prevent any
trouble on this score. And moreover, if the
exhorbitant rates now daily paid have not SO
far sharpened the appetite Of creditors, they
may surely be trusted under any other form
of statute. The probability would SCENES be,
as there is no credit system now, that tue
amount of Indebtedness among the people IS
not very large in comparison withfOrmer days.
But, at last, any fear on this score is removed
if, as We have insisted, the result OF rePe"
shall be to increase the supply and reduce the
cost of money.
The last "calamitous result" which "An
Old Virginan" looks for, is q selling out our
own people and introducing a class who have
no symDatbv with US" Strange to say, that is
inst what appears to be in progress under the
law as il is. Capitalists from abroad cannot
lend their money TO our own people, in aid Of
their own energy and skill in the development
Of their own property, at what others offer for
it: but they can buy an interest, or buy the
whole, on such terms as the necessities of the
borrower may force him to; and they are do
ing il every day. And thus it will continue to
be. liza borrower finds he can't get money al
the legal rate by loan, he will pay what VIII
get it, in some other mode and the polcy oil
the law should be to enable him to get 1t as
cheaply as possible Now he is wholly at the
mercy of a comparative few, unrestrained by
competition, whose money is worth excessive
rates only for the reason that there is so little

The Massachusetts, Senators and Repre-

The Boston Post warmly advocates the ad-
mission OF the Southern States to representa-
ton in Congress. 1t quotes this sentence from
the new Governors message " Our natioHat-
it, IS erorciSed Of every element Of disloydltG
open o. covert, and delivered from every trace
and every form of slavery" and asks, if this
be- true, " Why should not all portions Of it be
allowed equal rights in representation, and thus
secure a more perfect Union than now exists i'
The Post thus concludes
The Massachusetts, Senator's and Representatives
mar all in obstructing the speedy contamination al
the Presidents purpose, but the great Republic will
1t last lind its cement in the voice Of the people;
voice that will proclaim that restoration of national
ty which shall render Us prosperous IN peace As
formidable in war. Ii would be humiliating, in-
deed. ii, with all vast power and long expert

General SCHENCK said in his recent speech
at Columbus, Ohio, " You will find that Con-
gress will stand by the President, and that the
President win stand by Congress-" and that
call difficulties will be overcome"
FALsTAFF speaks Of running away, as one
mode of backing ones friends. The Radicals
appear to be acting somewhat on this idea in
the matter of standing by the President. lie
asks the restoration Of the Southern States and
their representation in Congress. To use the
language Of the day, the Radicals " stand by
him''-whieh being interpreted meanS-refuse
10 cooperate with him and deny all that he
asks. This is an admirable plan, indeed, for
removing "au difficulties" They deserve the
Presidents gratitude. He will, no doubt,
manifest II in suitable manner. Here Is a
signal illustration Of what is meant by . stand
ing by the President" It is understood that
the President has assured the Southern Go
vernors that the troops shall be Withdrawn as
soon as practicable and the public interests
will admit Of In the face OF this, the House
Of Representatives, the other day, adopted the
following resolution by u vote of yeas, 81
nays, 81
"Resolred That in order to the maintenance OF
the national authority and the protection Of loyal
" citizens Of the seeded States il Is the Of the
" House that the military forces Of the Government
" should not be withdrawn from those states until
the two Houses Of Congress shall have ascertaned
and declared that their further presence there is no
longer necessary"
Mr. RAYMOND, Mr.. DAVIS, Mr.. HUBBELL, Mr..
HUMPHREY and several other Republicans voted
with the nays.
Here was wantOn demonstration against the
President. Congress has nothing to do WITH I
the disposition OF the military forces. This |
falls exclusively within the sphere OF the PreSi-
dents duties as Commander-in Chief. Ii ap- |
pears that this attempt Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives to dictate to the President Is TO the |
movements Of troops, is not having the desired /
effect, as, since its passage, he has made au or
der for the withdrawal from this State of some
troops which he thinks can be spared. We
may expect, every few days, such manifesto
tions of the determination Of the radicals to
q stand by the President" They will be con-
tinued until, one by one, the timid eonserva-
tiyes will be separated from the radicals, and |
an Administration and Aut-administration /
party will be formed out of Republican mate |
