A September Session Of Congress.

Senator E. d. Morgan and Representative
Robert G. Schenck have, in pursuance of
the resolution of Congress, called an ad-
journed session of the national legisla-
ture, the members to assemble in Wash
ington on Monday next, the 2lst inst.
The official summons, which appears in our
columns to-day, sets forth that Congress
before its adjournment directed the President
Of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, by resolution, to adjourn the
two houses until the third Monday in Septem-
Der, and thence, unless otherwise ordered by
Congress, to the first Monday in December.
AS the day first named approaches, the repub-
lican members of Congress requested Messrs.
Morgan and Schenck to call the Parliamentary
body together then, and in accordance with
that request they decided to act in the affirma-
tive
The consequence is that Congress will meet
next Monday. Senator Morgan and General
Schenck, who sign the call, by the way-the
one as Chairman Of the Union Republican
Committee" and the other as Chairman Of
the Republican Congressional Committee
recommend that there be full attendance
of members on the 2lst instant at noon !;
although they assure the Senators and Repre-
scntatives that it is not expected that general
legislative business will be entered into at
that time or shat the session need be
longer than to provide for another adjourn
ment." They regard it as important, however,
the presence of quorum in each house, and
the assemblage, although likely to be of very
brief duration, will be looked for with inte-
rest on account of the rapid evolution OF
political affairs

TnE EMpEHoRs SPEECH AT CHALoNs. The
British press, il appears is being extensively
exercised about the Empcrors speech on leav
ing the camp at Ch,lons. The Emperor, it
seems, has given up speechmaking. Gle
would not. he said, SAY more, as the public
prints would be sure to draw prophecies of
war, however moderate his words might be.
This is triumph to the public press and
positive gain to the public at large. Better
have no speeches than speeches which darken
counsel or which mean nothing. speech is
silvern, said an old divine, ''but silence is
golden Napoleon hath chosen the better
part. Long may he cling to it, We are all

Mr.. Roebuck, Member of Parliament for
Sheffield, would not be recognizable in his
public or private capacity unless he INDUCED
in snarl. The popularity Of oarping at
somebody or something marks his identity.
His latest known effort in this direction was at
the dinner given to Reverdy johnson by the
cutters Of Sheffield, upon which occasion he
served up his dish Of compliments to this
country and it's new and unpresented repre-
sentative in England with very highly spiced
sauce of sarcasm. Mr.. Roebuck probably,
then as at all other times, thought that he
would not be fair representative of Shefaeld
if he was not as sharp as her razors and a.
finely pointed as her carving knives. A bitter
opponent of the spirit of Union which animated
the North during the war which became neces-
sary to keep this country together, it is not
surprising that Mr.. ROebuck should be found
reminding his auditors of many unpleasant
facts concerning US, and doing so with his
prOverbial irritation of temper and elasticity
Of language. But, while there were some
unpalatable truths in the gentleman's speech,
en0 uiSciCosucbe VI Soou sooeo VI ocAoS'Ah6
that time and occasion to give utterance to them
is very questionable indeed. What Mr.. Roe
buck might have found it desirable to say to his
constituents upon English politics is matter
which concerns himself; but we hardly think
that in the presence of the American Minister,
an eminent politician and time long Senator
Of the United States, was the proper place to
state that the politics of this country were in
the hands of ''the buccaneering portion of
society," or that large part of its population
was composed of "a fecuent torrent of almost
all the vice and turbulence of Europe"
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson responded to this
latter sentiment on the following night at the
Corporation dinner too moderately when he
said that whatever ignorance there might be
among emigrants arriving in the United States,
it would soon yield to well devised and
almost universal System of public schools"
Had our ambassador not been too exuberant
and good-natured in his friendly mood toward
England just then he might have administered
a well deserved rebuke to the honorable
member for Sheffield, who was present at the
banquet Itwould have done Mr.. Roebuck no
harm to hear many citations of vice, bad
faith aud intrigue on the part of his own coun-
'ryinen during our domestic troubles. of which
Mr.. Johnson is as cognizant as any other
American. The rampageous TRADE of Mr.
Roebuck is well designated by the Pal MaN
Gazette piece of ''petulant insolence.'

Amnngall our acquaintances, scarcely

families seem to appreciate the moral

the rights OF husband and father.
And then, something higher than these,
