The SALARIES or MEMBERS op CONGRESS.
The members Of both houses OF Congress have
agreed 10 raise their salaries from three
thousand dollars TO five thousand dollars per
annum-sixty per cent; thus adding one more
job to the many which have occupied their
time since the opening Of the session. When
we learned by the proceedings Of Friday that
the Senate amendment TO the Civil Appropria-
tion bill, increasing the salaries Of Senators and
members, had been defeated In the House BY
the remarkable vote Of l25 nays 70 yeas--the
voters in the Affirmative being Messrs. Cooper,
OF Tennessee; Jenckes, Of Rhode Island, and
Randall, Of Pcnnsylvania-w thought that the
members Of the House, having to 20 directly
before the people for reelection, could only
hnd among their number three bold enough 10
lay this additional sin on their consciences
when presenting themselves 10 their constitu-
cnts; but II appears that the temptation was
TOO strong 10 make one more haul on the public
treasury before adjournment
A conference committee was appointed 10
consider the question; but II could not agree to
sanction the Senate amendment, when second
compittee was appointed, and finding that the
amendment equalzing the soldiers bounties
depended upon that Of raising the salaries,
they recommended its passage, and IL went
through, towards daylight yesterday morning,
by the close vote OF 81 70 so. This IL fair
example Of the way jobs Of this kind are rushed
through during the expiring moments Of Con-

have been In the service Of the rebel govern
ment, and were taken by Judge Holt, but
that "seversl Of the Witnesses, upon being
brought before the committee, retracted entire
ly the statements which they had made in their
afidavits, and stated that their testimony, as
given originally, was false in every particular"
The committee have, therefore, relied upon
scraps of evidence found In the letters and
documents among the rebel archives. They do
not claim to present data and facts that would
convict Davis on the assassination charge in q
court Of justice, but to have obtained sufii-
cient to justify them in their opinion in coming
to the conclusion that the investigation should
be continued. The committee were evidently
anxious to convict Davis IS confederate Of
Booth; and, failing, they propose that the
Executive take up the search for the evidence
required. Mr.. Boutwell's report is rehash Of
old testimony, in convenient shape for radi-
cal electioneering purposes; but as to the how,
when and where Davis is or ought to be tried,
this report leaves US exactly where we were
before. It is long story practically amount
ing to nothing.

The First Session Of the Thirty Ninth Com
The country will feel sensation OF great
relief with the news that Congress has ad-
journed sine die, and that unless the President
may think ht, under some unexpected circum-
stance, to call an extra session, we shall be
troubled no more with the doings Of this cor
rupt, profigate and expensive Congress until
the first Monday in December next From the
first Monday in December last down TO the
adjournment Of the 2sth Of July, period Of
eight months, We have had . campaign, on
the part Of Congress, against the administra-
ton and "the constitution IA IL is (" without
anything approaching parallel in the
history Of the country. In the outset. from the
heavy majority Of the radicals in each house,
and from their bold radical and revolutionary
policy and purposes then avowed, there we're
good reasons for serious sppreheusions - to
the continuance Of our popular institutions.
But President johnson, against even radical

proved himself tower Of strength in behalf of

"The cohesive power Of the public pIunder'
has been tried to its utmost tension by the
radicals Of the two houses, and II has failed TO

The SPANISH FIAsCO IN SOUTH AMERICA
Under the reign Of Ferdinand and Isabella
Spain planted the roots Of grand empire on
this continent Cortes sank his ships SO there
should be no retreat, advanced, conquered, and
revelled in the halls Of the Montezuma. De
Soto, Spanish adventurer, adopted the South
ern peninsula Of America, and Spain secured
Florida and all that region as an appendage OF
the Spanish crown. Spain was at this time
great Power on the American continent as well
as in Europe. The whole Of South America
was in her hands. The gold and silver en-
bowelled in the auriferous earth and rocks Of
Mexico and Peru were hers Spain, in short,
owned America, and her satraps governed it
This much for Spain in olden times. What is
her position now,
Ono by ono Spain finds her American pos
Her colonies on the Atlantic, not stopping to
enumerate her possessions in Central America,
with Peru and Chile on the Pacific, were all
lost. At this day she does not pause to inquire
why she has sacrificed her prestige and power
on this continent On the contrary, she pur-

than ever to all South America.
The attempt of Spain to carry on a naval
warfare sixteen thousand miles from home
must have been the inspiration Of mad man or
a mad woman. The Americans were inimical
to the movement, and Spain's rulers must have
known 1t. In the hour of our weakness Spain
undertook to re-establish herself in St. Do
mingo without asking our consent Following
up her failure there, the Cabinet at Madrid,
alresdy plunged to the lip in political intrigues
antagonistic to American interests, urges ON
this insane foray upon peaceful South Ameri-
can republics. Valparaiso fell, and with 1t all
that remained of Spanish naval honor and
prowess. Twenty years Of peace might have
made Spain again respectable nation. Now
she is nothing but fourth rate Power. Her
Incorporate zeal to re-establish herself on this
continent has ended In lamentable Jfosco, and
her naval officers, cruising from the Pacific to
the Atlantic, from Valparaiso TO Rio Janeiro,
bound home, must feel as only true sailors can
when convinced they have been guilty Of .
dishonorable transaction. Spsin's fasco In
South America will be followed by others Of
similar character II European monarchies in
troduce their peculiar institutions upon Ameri-
can soil against our consent

measures of Congress. The disunion policy Of
this radical Congress has been broadly de-
veloped in its negro suffrage experiments, its
Freedmen's Bureau bills, its extravagant
squanderings Of the public money in all sorts
Of Jobs and party speculations, and In its
shameful disregard of the substantial interests
Of the country-Anancial, commercial, manu-
featuring and agricultural, all Of which are
mainly dependent on sound and selEadjust-
ing financial system
A general bankrupt law, general revision
Of the impracticable and costly paper currency
system inherited from Secretary Chase, . gen.
eral retrenchment in expenditures, . lessening
OF the burdens of the taxes of the
internal revenue system, q revenue tariff
bill and some special efforts for the speedy
reduction Of the national debt from
the savings by retrenchment, were among
tho measures most urgently demanded
Of this Congress; but instead oethese things we
have the perpetuaton Of Mr.. Chase's pet bank
system at the expense Of millions to the Trea-
sury, buncombe bill Of soldiers bounties Of
many millions Of dollars, which will be mostly
absorbed by claim agents, the raising of the
pay Of the members Of the two houses from
three to five thousand dollars year, protec-
tive tariff Observation-Disclosures because the
several favored classes could not agree among
themselves on the division Of the spoils-and
jobs and schemes without end Of wasteful ap-
preparations Of the public money.
This Is the Congress and this is the record
for which it Is now to be tried before the peo-
pie upon the important question of the election
Of new Congress in the coming fall elections
The contest is transferred from Washington to
every district represented in Congress, and
every member concerned will be held to his
responsibilities. We anticipate popular revo-
luton and a new Congress, which, after the
fourth of March next will be prepared to act
in accord with the Union policy Of the admin
istration and the wishes Of the people.

The RESIGNATION or SECRETan Harlan
Mr.. Harlan, Secretary Of the Interior, has at
last resigned his position in the Cabinet, and
the President has appointed ex-senator Brown
ing, OF Illinois, as his successor 1t may be
truly said Of Mr.. Harlan that nothing in his
official career so becomes him as the leaving
fit Although known to be politically op-
posed to the President, he continued to retain
his portfolio in defiance Of the ordinary rules
of honor and Of custom. A weak man, with
no influence in or out OF his party, he was used
by the radicals as their tool, and served them
to the extent Of his small ability; but even
they will scarcely regret his withdrawal. With
Messra. Dennison aud Speed, he set an exam
pie of adhering to Office in spite OF every con-
sideration OF principle and consistency which
all other public men will do well not to fol-
low. He goes into the Senate next March,
but will hardly escape his nerited cbscurity
even there.
The Cabinet is now . halfand-half affair.
composed partly Of new men and partly Of the
old material. Messrs. Seward, Weles and
McCuloch are not expected to resign. About
Mr.. Stanton doubts are expressed on all sides.
One day the radicals claim him, and the next
day he Is said to be writing letter in favor Of
the Philadelphia Convention. II he be opposed
to the President he ought certainly to resign,
and if he be friendly tos the President he
ought 10 resign also, as the greatest service he
could do Mr.. johnson. Whether q halfand-
half Cabinet like this will be rs strong and ss
enicient as an entirely new one, drawn directly
from the people and based upon the great
issues Of the day, Is question which we shall
not at present discuss. But at any rate Sccre-
tary Harlan's resignation is good thing, and
Secretary Stsnton's would be even better.

Important War News from Europe

ImpOTtNhs i>cSVS EurOpcs
The war news by the Peruvian TO July 20 is
incompletely reported by the telegraph. From
it we are enabled to gather the important facts
that Prussia, at the very gates Of Vienna, had
offered terms to Austria; had granted her an
armistice Of FIVE days to consider the PROPOSE
tons, and that Austria had positively declined
TO accept the proposals. The details Of this
news will be looked for with intense interest
In all probability the war is to continue with
increased vigor Large armies are being
rapidly concentrated before Vienna, and the
battle which Is yet to be fought for the capital
and tho empire promises to be tho bloodiest Of
the campaign.
In tho meantime the late declarations of
Russia as to the proper conduct Of aeutral
Powers have produced an effect in Paris, and .
government organ, in the confidence of Napo-
leon, announces in very positive language that
France has no intention Of becoming an armed
mediator in the conflict. With wholesome
dread Of each other, France and Russia cry to
each other, "Hands off," and the central Powers
Of Europe are to fight the matter out, the neu-
trail Powers standing ready and prepared to
prevent either becoming dangerously powerful.
