The Fortieth Congress.

The Thirty.ninth Congress termina-
ted yesterday, and the Fortieth was
organized. Senator Wade was elect.
ed President pro tempore OF tho Sen
ate, and therefore, as the Vice Presi.
dent is Acting President, becomes the
second civil officer Of the Government
In case of tho death or deposition of
Mr.. johnson during tho ensuing two
years, Mr.. Wade would become Act.
ing President, The House was or.
ganized by tho election of Mr., Colfax
to the Speakership, and Of Nj. McPher-
son to the Glerkship.
There was q protest from Demo
cratic members against tho organjza.
ton of the House, but this, of course,
was oisregardod, There is no ques.
tion that the thirty-ninth Congress had
a right to decree that the Fortieth
Congress should meet on tho 4th of
March, instead Of on the first Monday
in December; and it is equally clear
that a quorum of Representatives of
the Fortieth Congress are at hand and
ready for business. The President,
being notified that the Fortieth Con.
gress wero ready to receive communi-
cations from him, respectfully informed
that body that he had no communica-
tions to make. We do not understand
from this that he does not recognize
tho Fortieth Congress as "tho Con-
gress" according to the Constitution,
but that he agrees with the country
that he has been abundantly heard
from. Tho lame presentation made by
the Committee having the matter of
impeachment in charge warrants the
conclusion that no effort will bo made
to deposo the President. We presume
that after a brief season Congress will
adjourn, and if it does so there will be
no impeachment. However complete.
Iy the legality Of the Forticth Con.
gress as organized may be established,
we assume that there will bo something
of hesitation to press TO a conclusion
questions that are full of Importance
and delicacy Gin. Com, 5th.

Closing Proceedings OF the Thirty
Ninth Congress.

We make useofthe Cincinnati Com
Tnercial's summary, as furnishing the
bost possible condensation to the inn
portant proceedings of the last three
days of the late Congress.
Both houses on Saturday accepted
the Conference Committees report on
the bill to credit volunteer officers, ap-
pointed to the regular army, with the
time of their volunteer service, in COM
putting extra pay and rations. The
bill fixing the tariff on wool and wool
en- goods was passed. 4 =;
The amendment proposed to this bill,
adding twenty per cent. to existing
rates on other imported articles, was
defeated in the Senate, II to 27. The
Tenure Of Office Bill and the bill pro-
viding military governments for the
rebel States, were passed over the vo.
to, in both Houses. A very brief de-
bate, in the Senate, on the Military
Bill, was signalized by the detection
OF Revcrdy Johnson from the Presi-
dents policy" He announced his
determination to vote against the veto,
declaring the President should not
".adhere to his pride of opinion when it
interlered with the safety of the Re-
public" The Bankrupt Bill was
passed, and sent to the President as
also the bill legalizing the acts, proc
lamations and orders of the President,
and acts done by his authority, in
suppressing the rebellion-being in
tended to protect officers who made
"arbitary arrests" The amendatory
tax bill was passed The Judiciary
Committee reported 10 the House that
they had found sufficient reason for
recommending continuance Of the
impeachment investigation to the
Fortieth Congress. Mr.. Rogers, the
Democratic member, submitted q mi
nority report, avering that "there is
not a particle Of evidence TO sustain
any of the charges" and that he can
see no use in further investigation.
The same Committee prepared report
charging that the President did not
use due diligence in procuring tho ar
rest Of Surratt The minority report
embraced the evidence of Secretaries
Seward and Stanton-the former test
flying that the President knew nothing
of the case, and Mr.. Stanton declar-
ing that he withdrew the reward offer
ed fol Surratt on his own responsible
ty. The Army Appropriation Bill
passed, with an appropriation of $780,
600 for bridge at Rock Island, Hi
nois.
