The July Session of Congress.

THE SENATORIAL EXCURSION PARTY UNANI-
MoUsLY IN FAVOR OF A JULY SESSION.
PEORIA, Ill.,, 5une Ex-senator Wade7s
excursion party passed through here to-day
en- route TO their homes. Several took other
roads at St. Louis. Of IA Senators who
have been with the party at various times,
all expressed their intention of being present
at the July session of Congress, and those
who are still with Mr.. Wade, to day joined
him in a telegram to Gen. Schenek of the
National Union Congressional Committee at
Washington, to advise all Republican men,
bers to be present in July, that all ol,struc-
tons to the legal reconstruction of the Rebel
States may be removed.
THE PRESS ON THE NECESSITY FOR SUM-
MER SESSION.
The Boston -fastrnal says: There is no call
for an extra session to meet the wants of the
Treasury or the business demands Of the
country, nor have those specially devoted to
the impeachment project been enabled to en-
list the people into seeing the propriety of
any further Congressional attention to the
matter before the regular session. But Pres
ident Johnson is again. apparently, not will
ling to let well enough alone, but must needs
be thrusting whatever of one man power
reconstruction, to the disturbance of all in
terests and the encouragement of none but
the disatfected and mischievous.
The Hartford Cearont says: &" As the Pres
ident will undoubtedly act in accordance
with his Cabinet Minister'S advice, there is
no remedy for the evil except in a July Ses-
sion of the legislative body"
THE Washington National Republican says:
"Of one thing We feel sure, and that is, it
settles the question of a meeting of Congress
III July. That Congress will meet may be
now considered fOregone conclusion"
The Baltimore american declares that Mr..
Stanbery has succeeded, if Congress does not
assemble in July and act promptly and de-
cisivcly, in reducing the whole Reconstrnc
ton policy to a miserable bungle, without
life or vitality sufficient to bring back one of
the Southern States in ten years.
The Albany Ereniug Journal says: Presi
dent Johnson has determined to renew his
struggle with Congress. The opinion of
Attorney Gen. Stanbery was virtually
declaration of war. His especial organ, THE
National IntetHgeneer, is preparing the pub
TIC mind for future measures of aggression.
Thoughtful men have hoped that wisdom
would come to the relief of the Executive,
and that this unfortunate condition of af-
fairs might be avoided. But if he will have
the test made, SO be it. The result is not
doubtful.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says:
a reopening Of this whole question, the
waking up again under Presidential favor
OF the now-subdued rebellious and mischief
making spirits of the South; the reassem-
Sonng OF Congress in an indignant, heated
summer session.; the fostering of the spirit
ol contempt and hatred of the President in
eae North, and the reagitation of such mis-
onleVious issues as confscation and impeach-
ane I these are greatly to be deplored,
al anu spared to the country if possible; but
all are sure to come from any decided inter
ference by the President with Gen. Sheri-
Texas.
