We trust the assurances that the impeach-
ment project is dead in Congress are well
founded. The country will rejoice at the
summary dismissal of this wild scheme of
partisan and personal malice. 1t had its
origin in no calm, oonsiderate regard for the
public honor or safety in no distinct and
settled conviction of justice and public
policy but in the determination of a reckless
faction, intent only on the accomplishment OF
factiOus ends. Wendell Phillips Justly
boasts, in late number of the Anti- iSLaverg
peachment project and he demanded il at
the outset, on the ground that the President
was = an obstacle TO the designs of the ex-
tremists, g which must be got rid Of" 1t was
toe get rid Of an obstacle"-not to vindicate
the Justice or the honor of the nation
thal the ultraists resolved on impeachment.
81, Whhe the mass of the people never sympa-
thlzeo with the motive, they were deceived in
regard 10 II and apparently acquiesced in the
scheme. They were misled by the over
whelming food of depunoiation and abuse by
which the President was assailed. The history
of our country shows nothing to compare with
1t. The reckless bitterness Of party strife is
always sharp enough with us, and we have
had instances in which the betrayal of party
confidence has subjected individuals TO special
Obloquy. But for ferooity and malignity we
have never had any thing which could compare
with the crusade Of.the last two years against
President Johnson. The party in Congress
seems to have resolved itself into an Orga.

This SesHion-The Chart by which Con-
gress Will Sail

IRON LhS ". Y. World.
The first Monday in December is the regular
day, fixed by the Constitution, for opening the
annual session of Congress. The bits and
patches OF sessions, of which there have been
three since the third of March, have been like
marriages not duly solemnized by the parson.
The President has delivered no message; the
Secretaries have sent in no reports there has
been none of the pomp and circumstance
which fitly attend the assembling of the law
makers OF great nation. We cannot remem-
Der that either Of these bastard sessions so
much as asked the paternal blessing, by the
customary courtesy of appointing a committee
to wait on the President, inform him that
Congress was organized, and ready to receive
any communication he had to transmit. The
session which opened yesterday was attended
with the usual forms and the dignifed courte-
sizes which ought to prevail between the differ
ent branches of the Government. For the
ensuing week or two the press will be mum
dated with documents and department re-
ports. Before public attention is distracted
and glutted by the multiplicity, it may not be
amiss to cast an inquiring glance forward in
search of the coasts and headlands by which
the course of the ship will be regulated.
The session next preceding a Presidential
election has almost always shaped its business
with reference to that event, and there is every
reason for supposing that the present will not
be an exception. There is a certain amount of
routine business which must be transacted of
course, and some other necessary things will
be done because neglect would give a handle
to political opponents: But all the greater
questions viii be discussed, and all the larger
measures will be shaped, almost solely with
reference to their bearing on the Presidential
contest. Nothing which is decided this session
will be decided ON its proper merits, except
where party policy and the public interest
may happen to coincide.
Financial questions will be warmly debated;
but less with view to their settlement than
to make them available in the interest of
a particular candidate. Whatever tends To
kindle blaze on these questions dwarfa
General Grant and magnihes Judge Chase.
We do not know whether General Butler
who detests Grants, and win 90 all lengths TO
injure him, made himself the champion Of a
startling financial doctrine with simple view
to alarm the banks and bondhOlders, and by
this willy method precipitate Congress into
discussions fatal to Grant; but he could not
have managed with greater address had this

1t is clear that Congress understands what
is to be shortly the absorbing subject before
the country. Members see that the press and
mems minds everywhere are occupied with
questions relating to our national finances, the
currency and the national bank system. This
Is shown by the numerous measures sub
mitted and the discussion that commenced
immediately on the reassembling of that BODY.
1t is equally clear that our representative
have exhibited thus far narrow views unon
these questions. They have been pibbling st
them all around, and do not seem 70 bovo
the capacity to take them in and digest then,
No one has presented a general, oomprehen-
sive and statesmanlike measure, adapted 10
our situation and the wants of the country
We are like a ship at sea tossed about without
any one at the helm. Never was there such
a want of a great statesmen TO manage the
financial affairs Of a nation and never such an
opportunity for one to become famous.
Our public men are in this like ignorant
doctors, who break down the health or kill
their patients by overdosing-by dosing too
trums. II is full OF latent vitality and will
recover itself if left alone. AS to the currency
and returning 10 specie payments, nothing
should be done. The laws OF trade, which are
as immutable as the laws Of the Medes and
Persians, will regulate all that. Let the cur
renCy remain as it is, except to make IL uni
