The Congressional Recess.

At halfpaet one O'Clock Friday morn
ing the extra session of the Senate, called
By the President to assist him in the dis
tribution of the spOis, was brought to a
final adjournment. No special act of Con-
gress having been passed providing for a
summer or fall session TO keep watch and
ward over "Ihe man at the other end of the
avenue as in the palmy days of Andy
johnson, there will be a Congressional re-
cess till the first Monday in December next,
unless the President, in the interval, shall
deem it expedient to call the Senate togeth-
er for executive purposes or the two houses
for Legislative business. In short, the
President is left for seven months to get
on in the conduct of the domestic and for
eign affairs of the government, with or
without the further assistance of Congress,
as he may elect.
It is given out that, having ratified off all
the important domestic and foreign offices,
having secured all the legislation necessa-
ry for Southern reconstruction, having pro-
vided snug places in the recognition of
equal political rights to white men, and
women too, and red men and black men,
war men and peace men, including the
Quakers, and being in no particular hurry
to settle the Cuba question or the Alabama
claims, General Grant will take things
quietly during the absence of Congress,
and, above all things, will maintain the
policy of peace with foreign nations. There
will be no trouble with England, we are
told, and from what has been said about
Sanford, nominated for Spain but not con-
frmed, we are left to infer that Mr.. Fish
has taken leaf from the foreign policy OF
Mr.. Seward, and would rather pay round
sum for the island of Cuba than get it for
nothing ~. y Herald.

CUBAN AFFAIRS. The administration
has decided to issue no proclamation regard
ing Cuban matters. Official information
received from New Orleans and other CT
ties on the Atlantic shows that no intelli-
genee can be obtained that any expedition
of any kind is fitting out for the island of
Cuba. The recent publications to the con-
trary seem to have been tabrications 10 the
interest of the Cuban insurgents. There
fore nothing that warrants any proclama-
ton for the enforcement of the neutrality
laws exists.

The editor of the New York Sun, very
able and jealous Radical leader whom
Grant recently made appraiser of the Port
of New York, and who went with his whole
strength throughout the Presidential cam
paign for Grants election, now says:
Grant is to be pitied. Poor fellow, he's
like the yellow dog in the menagerie-he is
too small for lion, he don't look like a
tiger, and nobody wants to see dog. His
Cabinet don't suit the people, his appoint
ments don't please the Senate, and politi-
clans impose on him.

Our Chancery Court is in session, the
Hon. Hillary Ward from Pulaski presiding
by special appointment. Judge Walker,
from deafness, is incapaoitated from serv-
ing. Why he wants to hold on we can't
see. We understand that his disease is of
a permanent character, ii so we think the
public interests would be subserved by
his resignation. 1t is decidedly cheaper
to support one than two chancellors. Judge
Ward has given general satisfaction every
where he has been and we hope his position
may become permanent one. There will
be very heavy and important docket to
be worked up by his Honor, and from what
we learn from the members of the bar. he
is the man to dispatch business rapidly and
thoroughly. -Fra'akLiD ReUieaO.
