velOp her commerce in a new direction. Here
t0fOre, almost her entire exports and imports
have, on the backs Of men and mules, in six
hundred mile journey, crossed the Andes to
the Pacific; and from the miserable ports of
Peru and Bolivia, bordering the Atacama
desert, the trade has made the Cape horn
transit to and from the commercial marts of
the world.
The efforts which have heretofore been made
to give all this commerce an eastern and natu-
raj flow have proved unavailing, because the
policy of Brazil has closed the Amazon river
to foreign trade The late decree, however, of
the Brazilian Government opening the Amazon
to commerce gives Bolivia new life and hope.
We see now that Colonel Quintin Quevedo,
late Envoy Extraordinary from Bolivia to
Mexico, is on his way to Rio Janeiro to con-
clude a full commercial treaty with Brazil,
looking to the opening of the splendid navi.
gable atluents of the Amazon and La Plata
rivers in Bolivia. II is fortunate that Bolivia
has selected so energetic and able an agent to
close such a treaty at once. Brazil can but
derive immense advantages from it. Our men
Of enterprise cannot be too active in endeavOr-
ing to grasp this Bolivian and South Ameri
can trade. Could they look into English,
Spanish, and French Golfers, and see the inn
mense returns which have accrued from the
quiet prosecution of South American COM
meroe, they would open their eyes to the fact
that there is an East Indian empire to the
south of us which only requires the magic
touch of our energies to turn its wonderful
riches into American channels.
Thus far we have one steamship line to Rio
Janeiro, which has been forced into existence
entirely by private energy. Another local line
is struggling into notice on the Plata and Bra
lillian coast. Both of these steamship compa-
MES promise immense advantages to our trade
in that direction. But these are not enough.
We must have complete steamship system
tapping the trade of the whole of South
America. 1t must equal, if not exceed, in
facilities the English and French lines. To
do this the United States must give its un-
qualified aid-not only aid by appropriations,
but also look to the interior of the countries
which we propose to open. Send men of brains
to represent our national interests there and
watch the political developments which are 50
largely influenced by France and England. We
must have men who can compete with the
representatives of other countries in South
America. Let Congress shape us, then, a
broad commercial policy, and assist in giving
us thorough system of steam lines which
shall turn the commerce of the world to our
shores.

AttOrne y. General Stanbery on the
MeetiDR OF Congress.

AttOrne y. General stanbery on the
MeetIDg OF Congress.
From The ~ Y. World.
That most clear-headed and sensible of
writer's, DR.. Paley, in the preliminary chapter
OF his evidences" i" makes this statement
"But the short consideration which, inde-
pendently of every other, convinees me that
there is no solid f9undatlon III Mr.; Tunes Tunes
is proposed TO a mathem atician, the first thing
he does wit II is TO try IL upon simple case,
and III IL produce false result, he is sure that
there must be some mistake In the demon
stratkn."
1t is not always nor perhaps often, that
piece of political or legal reasoning can be sub
mitted to a like simple and decisive test, One
of the few such instances is furnished by the
astute argument of Mr.. Stanbery in the
National LateiLigeaceT against the eonsttu-
tional validity of the several sessions of the
Fortieth Congress prior to the first Monday in
December The consequences which would
follow, instead of prejudicing us against Mr..
Stanbery's reasoning, would rather proposes
us in its favor. If the meetings he impugps
were without any constitutional authority, and
had no right to be held, all the acts passed at
them would be null quite irrespective of the
authority of Congress constitutionally assem-
bed to pass them. We wish this conclusion
stood on solid grounds, but we must not per
NIT our wishes to tamper with our sense OF
logical cogeney The Attorney General, de-
spite his ingenious reasoning is clearly wrong,
and we think it our duty to save those with
whom we associate from indorsing an unten-
able position We expect to make his error
so apparent as to foreelose any further discus
sion Of the subject. We are happily under no
necessity Of following the steps Of his technical
and iawyerlilxe reasoning; but TO make our
! argument ineligible, we must exhibit his

legislation, provide for more than one session
year. If there be more than one, it must
be an extra session called by the President.
If the phrase sat least once" can be fairly con-
strued to mean "Only once" his opinion may
be tenable; but not otherwise. In point of
fact, Congress did provide for meeting in
January, 1890, and met also also in December
of the same year. If it be said that the act
was passed by the same Congress the time of
whose meeting it designated, the remark is
true but not pertinent. AS Mr.. Webster said,
with the masculine clearness in which he so
much excelled every one at all accustomed
to the consideration of such subjects knows
that every Congress can bind its successors to
the same extent that it can bind itself" But
why should we stand bayoneting the legs of a
theory after the breath is out of its body?

The Constitution Expoundor.

IRON The ". Y. Tribune.
Buckley must hide his diminished head;
for greater than Buckley is here The
public has not yet forgotten the luminous and
voluminous opinions last summer of our dis
tinguished Presidents distinguished Attorney
General, Mr.. Stanbery, in reference to the Mill
tary Reconstruction laws of March and March
"a, 1867. In the very teeth of these laws he
decided officially that, throughout the South,
every Rebel was to be his own registrar, and
that our army there, and the Military Com
manders of these Southern Departments, were
but posse comitatuS to carry out the will of
Rebel Governors and Mayors. He then rested
from his labors and since that time the bril-
liant Buckley has illuminated the world with
opinions and decisio IS in his stead.
But the AttOrney-General, evidently envious
of his Assistants fame, has Just appeared in
print, over his own initials, in the National
IntelHgencer, TO prove that the first session of
the Fortieth Congress, commencing by law of
the last Congress on March 4 1867, and not
yet concluded, is, Notwithstanding A. IS sig
natures to its bills and the vetoes with which
he has honored 1t, an unconstitutional assem-
blage. In this remarkable newspaper OPT
MON, he quotes the Constitution correctly as
follows
''The Congress shall assemble at least once
IN every year, ana sucn meeting snail be on
the first Monday of December unless they
shall by law appoint different day."
That quotation upsets all his argument, for,
l. 1t shows that Congress must meet sat
least once in every year." plainly declaring
that it may meet oftener.
q Such meetings must be on certain day,
"uniesS they shall by lar appoint different
| day"
3. The law of January %, 1867, which he
quotes, enacts that, in addition to the Decem-
Der meeting, there shall be in the first year Of
each Congressional term an additional meet
| ing, commencing on the 4th of March.
Thus the law has carried out the Constitu-
tional provision ''that Congress shall assemble
at least once in every year." and has also "by
idW'' provided that there shall be tl0o sessions
in the first year, one commencing in March
and the other in December, the days being
specifically "oppointed' in the Claw"
And yet Mr.. Stanbery, after making these
quotations, gravely declares that sit (the Con-
stitutiOn) does not authorize Congress to pro-
vide for an additional meeting" etc. We can
scarcely wonder that this argument is made a
newspaper article instead of an officially pub.
lished opinion.
