Recess OF Congress.

It now appears that Congress has de
termined upon a recess in preference to
adiourning. On Saturday last, the 2lst
instant a concurrent resolution was offer
ed by Nr Conkling, of New York, and
adopted, providing that the President OF
the Senate and Speaker Of the House shall,
on a day to be hereafter named, adjourn
their respective Houses until Tuesday, the
1nd of October next, and that on that day,
unless otherwise ordered, they further ad-
iourn until Saturday. the lst of December,
The practical effect of this revolutionary
. ,cecding is to give Congress con
troll over the executive during the four
months to come The radicals hope by
this manocuvre to save their party friends
in office aud thus make them available in
the Fall elections. The resolution of Mr..
Conklms is identical in principle with that
recently contcndcd for by Mr.. Stephens
which claims as a right, inherent in legls-
lative bodies, to declare themselves en- per-
n,ancace. Truly, We are already in the
rapids of revolution which threatens with
destruction all that is valuable in repre-
sentative government 1t remains to be
seen whether the people have the inherent
virtue to maintain their own inherent
rights. For ourselves, we look with hope
to the Fall elections, and our confidence Is
that these Will show, that the arrogant
prctensions Of the present revolutionary
Congress find no tayo. at the hands of the
people.

The President s Policy

Though it may not be very difficult to
show that the policy inaugurated by, and
still persisted in, By President johnson
for the re-establshmnnt of frnternal rcia-
tions between the different States which
COMPOSE our Federal Union is not al'o-
catbar unexccptionablc or even free from
very grave defects. no conservative mind
can DENY that it is 10. better than any
scbene that radicalisln has yet invoked or
that i is not better than any -ottrr plan
n~cscp.ed Which stands the slightest chance
Of present adoption by the country It Is
q sulicc. Of sincere regret to Us that the
illjberal sentiment Of the conqucrlng see
lion in the late civil war has prevented
and prevents now the adoption OF more
macnaninous and liberia. policy OF rostora-
ton. But we are far from holding Pre>l-
dent johnson responsible for this condition
Of the public mind On the contrary, we
believe he has -labored and is laborlng no"
To correct tn, illiberal tendency Of public
continent and to bring about rctorma-
ton in this very matter. Bat the wo' Ia
was not made in day nor are reformations
Of thi. kind effected in an hour. Nesmust
be patient nor expect fall and perfect
restoration of the lately seeded States to
all ,Leir rights in the Union until time has
been given to infusc into the public under
standing more liberal sentiment than at
present exists towards the Southern States.
That this will come to pass, we have not
the sIirh.est doubt, and when it shall have
been accomplished, the work OF iuli res
toration will be easy Of completion In
the meanwhile, as it is the best we can
obtain. we should accept even the
partial and defective restoration embodied
in the Presidents scheme especially as
the temper of the country will allow OF
no restoration more liberal, AMI particu-
lar,v as wc are forced to elect between
this and the red vengeance which the par
ty of Mr.. Thaddcus Stevens is preparing
to hurl upon the South.

Major Van DeT7lp's Report
1.FpyhRpTOwN, ND.

Msjor Van Dsr71p's Report
As an example Of the means made use
Of by the Frcedlncn's Bureau to oppose
the wisc policy of President johnson for the
,os,or,tion Of the Union, VIC direct the at
seution of our readers to the in6dious re-
port Of Major Van Dcrlip Of his recent
,opr Of inspection through the counties OF
C,lvcr, md Anne Arundel in this state.
The Major commands the ear Of ms en-
martial and conservative readers by hrs'
stating, tha, the farmers IN the counties
above named complain that the negroes,
break their contracts, whenever they hnd
i 70 their interest to do so, regardless OF
previous enga gcmcuts. Tins bad fadh'
however, on the part Of the negroes, he
s,nootlles over with the statement that .'at
present the freed people seem to be gener-
aIly at work" lie then draCs from the
tonbs occurrences which took place two OF
three years since, when slavery was IN
transition state, and styles them "a gross
wrong and injustice" Admitting these
charges to be true, for argument sake,
where can be the necessity Of telling tale
that has been told fifty times before, IN
less it be to give the Freedmen's Bureau
an opportunity to bring rcproach upon
President johnson by proclaimine, that,
fince the passage Of the Civil Rights BIZ,
the wrong and Injustice complained Of
Love been corrected? The Bureau adj
mits that these supposed grievances had
been brought before our State Courts long
before the passage of the Civil Rights
BIZ. but it is careful not to inform us
whether these grievances were discovered
70 be well grounded and whether, more
over our Courts we're found to be unfa-
vorable to their redress when ever their
mower was invoked and the wrong or injury
imputed could be established. But this
would not have suited the purposes OF the
Bureau. 1t would not have been calcula-
ted to excite and prejudice the Northern
mind Harmony, good feeling and con
srqucnt reunion might have resulted ana
the Presidents policy have been endorsed
10 the confusion Of the radical Congress.
If the Freeda ems Bureau should discover
within =, ;ur is,l;ctinn that the Freedmen
have been wrongcd. it is its duty to apply
corrective, but Why it should be the only
Bureau under the Government to make 4
public and ostentatious display Of Its per
formanccs, passes our comprehension. -
aThe enigma is, perhaps, e1plainable upon
the supposition that it is political ns'ru-
ment under the control of politicians whose
bread and butter depend upon the exclta-
.ion of Quixotic sympathy for the negro.

The Presidents Position D fined.

As it has been industriously circulated
to the prejrlicc of President Johnson that
he favors the prescription of all men who
have been willing and active participants in
behalf of the South in the lite civil war, it
affords us pleasure to be able to correct this
nIstatcmcnt, and we correct it upon the
authority of the President himself. In
late conversation, he says:
''Therc is no treason and no traitors
now. The enemy has fully and fairly sur
rendered and is powcrless, and a foe thus
situated should be magnauimously treated.

restores his diSarmcd enemy his sword and

How IT WoRks.-Scveral parties from
this ncighborhood, who had contemplated
settling i'll St, Nary's county, Md, have
given up the idea on asceraiuing that the
public schools have been suspended in that
county on account of failure Of the au-
thorities lay the requisite tax.- lFasbing-
ton Star.
The facts in the case are. that our au-
thori,ies have not failed TO lay any tax for
school purposes which they were author
lied to lay, Moreover. our schools have
been suspended only to enable the School
Commissioners to repair old and build ad
ditionsl School Houses These are the
facts in tho case, but we hope, notwith-
standing, hat the parties spoken of by the
Star will adhere to their determination not
to settle amongst us. People SO faStidious
and with such strong intellectual inclns-
