MEETING OF CONGRESS,

Congress met on the 3rd inst, at pre-
cisely II o'clock, There was more than
quorum present in each house.
The Philadelphia Inquirer in speaking
of the course OF the adjourned session
says:
judging from the temper of the House
Of Representatives Oh Wednesday, and
from the discussion in the Senate between
Messrs. Sumner and Fessenden, the IL
tenton Of Congress is to conine itself
rigidly TO the single topic of reconstruc
ton. The House passed resolution
that bill to perfect the Reconstruction
act ought TO be reported as soon as pcas-
ible, and acted upon, and that no propo-
sition of general legislation should be en-
tcrtaired during the adjournment session,
but that all such propositions should be
lpid on the table. The passage of this
resolution shows that the members desire
to work only upon one subject, and even
should the Senate decree otherwise, the
proposition would be resisted
There have been several bills presented
in Senate and House intended TO effect
the object proposed, which agree in the
main itea, but differ rs to the details and
management Of the subject. Nir. Viii
sons b:li proposes 10 extinguish the rights
of all persons holding Office in the lately
Rebel States in those Offices. At The cx-
piration Of thirty days after the passage
of the law, he proposes .hat al! those Of
fees shall be vacated. The commanding
generals At that time may fill them with
new men, or re-appoint such Of the pres
ent incumbent as they may choose. The
second section of the bill Iroposes to give
TO the Boards OF Registration all the au-
ihority which was meant to be conferred
upon them by the original law, and to ox-
amiae into the qualifications Of the per
sons who seek registry, and TO erase the
names Of such as have been wron siuily
and iraudulently admitted to the lists
This is intended to do away with the idea
Of Mr.. Stanbery that perjury can give
to any one a right which in truth he
could not possess.
Mr.. Brakes bill proposes an enactment
that all Offices in the unreconstructed
States, except those for counties. town
ships, cities, &c, were in May last vacant
and that the right Of all otficer2 therein,
excep. as aforesaid, ceased. In regard to
county and municipal officers whose po-
stions were not to be considered vacated
in May, he proposes to give TO the COM
manding generals right to remove them
in their discretion, giving to them also
power 10 fiji the Offices which have been
declared to have been vacant in May
He also proposes an additional declaration
as TO the guarantees to BE given by the
States which sect reconstruction, in favor
of the Union, and Of allegiance to the
United States.
The appointment of a Committee on
Reconstruction by the House is a prompt
action in favor of the speedy consideration
Of the proper measures, and whatever the
final conclusion may be, it is likely that
NJ time viii be lost in endeavoring to ar
rive at proper measures to remove the
distractions to the fulfilment of the law
which have been placed in the way by
the Prcsidcn. and his cunning man Of the
law.

THE DRMoCRATIC CONVENTION.

According to previous notice, given
through the columns of two of the Dem
ocratic papers published in this place, the
Democratic County Convention assembled
in the Court House on Monday the 1st
instant. The delegates made their ap-
pearance very early, and were ready to
be button -holed by the candidates and
their friends. After great deal Of eau
cusing they repaired to the Court House
and commenced business. Brigadier Gen
cral Z. D. Parker and DR.. Fisher were
placed in nomination for State Senator,
when the former received u and the lat
ter I votes. At this stage of the pro
ceedings fine locking young man with
red hair and good teeth, who had been
ilgeting about for some time, jumped up
and dlaYing forth a white handkerchief
brushed the ooze from his noble brow.
and nominated First Lieutenant Robert
z. McWilliams, commanding company F,
126th regiment ?. ", camp in the field,
U. S. A., for Assembly. There being no
opposition Bob went through with rush,
Deitrick, Cox and Barner were trotted
cut for Sheriff, when John Dci:rick re-
ceived the nomination. The name o: Mr..
Kenawell was brought before the Con-
vention, when that gentleman, looking as
pleasant as meat-axe, said, 81 decline"
and his name was placed high on the
shelf. For Register and Recorder Joshua
Beale received "a aud James Dean 10
votes, and James was also placed on the
shelf.
Next came Christy and Frow for Coun-
ty Treasurer. Thomas, being a very mod
est young man, had his name Withdrawn,
and the Old Hunker was all chunky
This same old fellow served the people of
this borough as Postmaster, and they
seen enough of his "sweet disposition
10 make them vote against putting him
again in Office. He made the most DISC
bliging postmaster the borough ever had.
David Sulouff, David Partner and Jas.
Kirk were nominated .or Commissioner.
On the first ballot Sulouff received l6,
Partner Is aud Kirk votes. On the
second ballot Sulouff had Is and Partner
I6 votes. There is no doub. that when
the delegates came to town Mr.. Partner
had majority, but after examining the
slate, he was ordered to be slaughtered,
and Mr.. Sulouf, an old and incompetent
person, nominated. OF the two Mr. Part
ner was by far the most competent for the
position. Daniel Conn received the nom
ination for Auditor.
a committee of Eve were appointed to
fix up resolutions, and after retiring for a
short time they returned with bundle of
sweet>sceuted stuff. Only eighteen dele
gates remained to hear the resolutions
read. While they were being read, as
usual, the word NEGRO" was frequently
mentioned, at which Tommy McCamnon,
Squire Wyke, or some other old saint
would shout, "D-n the nager!'
On motion Of one of the delegates from
Milford township it was ordered that the
proceedings be published in the county
papers, but as far as We are concerned we
respectfully decline complying with their
modest request.

willing to remain in the Old Wcr.d, with

to exist. If the United States were
crowed as England is, the population
would be nearly thousand millions. In
reply, however, TO the question whether
he thought large and opulent English
Farmers would do vel, to send out their

was, that it was no use to send a fool TO
America Mr.. Howard hit the nail on
the head.

HORACE GREEDY AND SECRETA-
RY SEwARD.-A New York cor.
respondent of the Chicago Repub.
lican tells the following rich story;
A we'll known journalist, who
was formerly a Washington CORES.
pendent, says that while there, du-
ring the war, he one day asked
Secretary Seward his opinion of
Horace Greedy. Said Seward, che
is great man, a man so full of
genius, and of such power, that if,
he had particle Of common sense,
we should have to hang him. But
he's a id fool, and therefore
harmless"
After coming to New York, the
journalist, dining with the editor
of the Tribune, inquired his opin-
ion of Mr.. Seward. "Seward has
brains enough" was the reply, "to
govern the country. No man has
a clearer or better head; but the
trocble with Seward is that he is
an Internal scoundrel."
