CoNGREss.-The term of the Thirty Ninth
Congress expired on the 4th of March, at
twenty minutes past twelve o'clock and at
one the Fortieth Congress was called to or
der-an intermission of only forty minutes
intervening. Schuyler Colfax was immedi-
ately reelected to the Speakership of the
House. Most of the old officials were retain
ed in their positions. In the upper House..
Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio, was chosen to
succeed L. S. Foster as President of the Sem
ate. The Thirty-Ninth Congress, although
it may have been guilty of sins both of omis-
sion and commission, still no National Leg
islature which has ever convened in Wash
ington has more truthfully reflected the SEN
timents of its constituents, or remained more
steadfastly true to the party by which the
majority was elected. Assembling just at
the close of the war, greater and more varied
responsibilities devolved upon them than
were ever before presented to session of
Congress during the history of our country.
Questions which the wisest statesmen of the
age were unable to solve, and which were of
vital importance to the nation, bave been
submitted to their arbitration. The policy
10 be pursued in rehabilitating the seeded
States was question upon which even the
ablest and truest men differed which, in
connection with the bitter opposition of the
President, retarded progress in that particu-
lar. A practicable scheme for the recon-
struction of the rebel States was adopted,
however, in defiance of the Executive veto.
The line of policy which has heretofore been
steadfastly adhered to in reference to the non
initiation of the currency, we think to be cor
rect, and hope to see it pursued by the pies
ent session. The Thirty Ninth Congress GER
tainly deserves the thanks and gratitude of
the people. 1t stood firmly by the princi-
Piles upon which it was elected, despite the
bribes which the boundless patronage at the
disposal a recreant and unscrupulous Exec
utive enabled him to offer, and to their sta
bility and patriotism is it due that the nation
has not been handed over to the tender mer
cies of vanquished but still bitter foe

The West Point and Mok. Hill Road
Mr.. EDITOR Through your columns we
would like to know if any Road Overseer
has ever attempted to explore the road from
Rust's place to Albers' Ranch. At this time
of the year no road in Calaveras county is
more used than this, and none in worse or.
der. Of course no heavy teams can pass
now. but two lines of stages daily travel it.
At Rust's place the water has been suffered
to cut the road into gulleys then comes a
ditch to cross, with the bridge all broken up
then stretch of hundred yards or so, to
avoid which the stage has to make detow of
three-fourths of mile over lodges of boul-
ders and loose rocks. At Mosquito good
road can be had at cost of $75. by crossing
the gulch just below the store, then raising
up to the level of an old ditch, where is
now steep descent over rocky point, worn
bridge, then steep pull and rocky road to
the top of the hill above Albers. The putty
man on the Seventh township roads may
have hard time collecting taxes. and no
wonder; anyone who sees the roads coming
into Sandy Gulch, may have strong doubts
as to any person having charge of them. On
this line of road, throughout, it seems as if
whatever work may have been done. was
done to the least possible advantage; where
ever the ground is siding no provision is
made, on the inside of the road, for ditch:
and there were. the embankmerit is so steep
it would soon slide in and the water left to
gulley the road out at will. ***.
