THE PEnrErUAL SESSION OF Cosonnss

TUE PERPETUAL SESSION OF COsoREss
There 10 movement on foot for the re-
peal Of the act providing for perpetual
session of Congress. The act. il will be
remembered. was passed January %. 1867
and provides that in additionto the present
regular time Of the meeting Of Congress
there shall be meeting of the Fortieth
Congress Of the United States and of each
successive Congress thereafter at twelve
o'clock M. on the 4th day Of March, the
day on which the term begins for which
the Congress is elected, thus, in effect, ma
king the session of Congsess the whole
year round. When It was adopted it had
a special object in view-namely, to watch
Andrew johnson, that terrible executive
officer, lest during some interval of con-
gressional repose he might perpetuate some
bold act that would upset reconstruction
and destroy the radical party. That dan
ger having passed, leading radicals consid-
er there is no longer any necessity for ex-
hausting vigilance, and go in for q little
rest hereafter. 1t is probable the act will
be repealed this winter - Washington Cor

A gre 4 deal Or twaddle has been writ
ten and published, recently, in and out of
this State, on this subject. It has been
characterized as a relic Of barbarism and
4 disgrace 70 the. civilization Of the 10Th
century We have no very high appre-
ciasionsof the civilization Of the 10th CEN
tury. over and above that Of several CEN
turtles preceding il, and readily conclude
that any institution calculated to cast dis
grace upon Il, must be bad indeed. But,
let US examine the matter little, and see
If there really is cause for the expendi-
ture Of all this surplus philanthropy over
the Delaware whipping post, which SO
painfully Affects the tender sensibilities of
our incrcurial moral sentimentalists. Sub
init the question to practical test. Not

his whipping and 60 at large after it, to
years Of confinement in the penitentiaries
. other States. And even where short
confinement of three or six months is i'm
posed along with the lash, it would still be
preferred, If the cnlprits choice were
consulted. This settles the question as to
the humanity of the two kinds of pun
ishment imposed for this grade of crime.
Clearly, the lash is the lightest punish
nent, and per consequence, the most hu-
name. II 10 disagreeable to witness the
iniiction Of punishment, we grant; but

itentiary and witness the sadness and gloom
which hang like pail upon the counte-
nances Of the wretchcd convicts, and ask
himself how many of them would not
prefer to take the lash and their liberty to
the weary years of confinement, if the
alternative were presented to them. So
much for the inhumanity of the thing.
"A great deal more might be said, but this
will suffice.
On the score Of public economy, the
Delaware system Of punishment has much
more to commend il, than the expensive
State prisons of other States. 1t will moi
be denied, we presume, that punishment
of some kind is necessary for the protec-
tion Of society against the vicious mar
anders that would prey upon it. But
why should society punish itself, in the

phatically Maryland work, intended to
put the city of Baltimore in close railroad
connection with the Eastern Shore coun-
ties-without /" going round the horn"

of Baltimore and the Eastern Shore demand
that this branch road should be built, and
that speedily. 1t is also essential to en-
abe us to flank the /" Delaware mono-
poly, And there Il only one thing which
scan defeat the early construction Of the
road, naasely: the useless throwing away
of the resopSess of the Maryland and
Delaware Railroad Company upon the
sharpers Who are now plotting to get pos
session of them. If the affairs Of the
Maryland and Delaware Railroad Com
pany are properly directed. the road can
be completed to Easton without materially
increasing its floating debt, and leave
large balance to aid in building the branch

stand that Cecil county has $50. 900 in
cash al ready 70 be put into the road, and
that responsible parties in Cecil have
pledged themselves to raise the amount to
