THE FIRST DAY.

The hey note of the present session of
C1l10ress has been struck, and judging
nom the proceedings of the first day, dis
erection and dispatch will characterize it.
No time was wasted ON preliminary
flourishes. The time Of the Senate was
fully occupied in hearing the Presidents
Message and in entertaining communica-
tions from several Governors relative to
newly elected or appointed Senators,
but the House went right to work with
out any delay. After paying due res
pect to the Message, and admitting the
balance of the Tennessee delegation, it
proceeded ut once to the consideration of
IMPORTANT resolutions and bills. Those
whlchl deserved careful scrutiny were
refnssed toappropriate committees, while
others were acted upon Immediately.
The most important of these was Mr..
Eliot,s bill repeating the clause in the
AMNESTY law of 1862, which gives the
President full discretionary power to
grant pardon for political ofienses. This
was so obviously and pres.ingly demand
ed that immediate action upon it was
the part OF wisdom. Although the an
Gent Greek proverb, "the beginning is
the half of the whole is an evident eX-
aggeration, it is equally obvious that
general direction and probable destiny
are usually indicated by the first steps
taken.ssso that from this good beginning
we may forecast that the last session OF
this Congress will be marlSedd alike by
sagacity and energy. Chicago Journal

help to the needy.
Let it be carefully noted that we do

men and their wives, with from one to
four or five children, to whom our cities
