Tho Adiourpmen, Of Consre...

The first session of the Forty-frst Congress,
beginning on the 4th of March last, ended at
noon yesterday. For the closing proceed
ings, embracing the very important resolution
passed by the House Of Representatives in
reference to the island of Cuba, we refer the
reader to our Congressional reports. Among
the principal bills passed at this session and
now laws Of the land are the modified
Tenure of Office bill, the bill defining certain
rules of practice in the courts Of the United
States and allowing judges of the Supreme
Court to resign on full pay If seventy years Of
age or more and if they shall have served in
the court for period of ten years, and the
bill for the reconstruction and restoration of
the three outside States of Virginia, Missis-
sippi and Texas. An immense calendar Of
Pacific Railroad land and bond jobs and
various other jobs is left among the unfin-
ished business, and will so remain till Decem-
ber next, unless ''great and weighty reasons"
may in the interval require, in the judgment
of the President, special reassenbling of
the two houses

AFFAIRS IN WALL STREET.-The money
market has undergone the usual stringency
attendant upon the making of engagements
at this season of the year, and the banks
were taxed to the extent of their utter
most capacity, especially as the buoyancy Of
the stock market was not repressed by the
high rates of interest. Two prominent bro
kers failed during the week-one through
speculation in gold and the other from unfor-
tunate ventures in stocks. The latter had cal
culated upon the expected depression of the
market which has generally attended the
activity of money, but the rule was very sin
gularly reversed this year. A great deal of
interest was manifested as to the course of
New York Central in consequence of the
action Of the Legislature on the subject of
the scrip dividend. Government bonds were
much higher, and the 62's yesterday touched
1901, the highest figure they have ever
attained.

column will be found some remarkable facts
Of the condition Of the city as to population,
police, &C., digesied in an article of more than
ordinary interest to dwellers here. In the
great increase Of our population, as shown,
will be seen the rapid growth Of the city, and
in the greater proportionate increase Of the
worst elements of population II must be ap-
parent to all that there is much TO be done be-
fore our city can hold the same rank for the
comfort and good conduct Of the people that
she holds for enterprise and commercial spirit.

Coop FROM TnE MARINE CoURT. Judge
Curtis, In deciding in favor of a chemist
receiving for his labor the pay he deemed II
worth, said :-''The time Of starving profess
sional men of learning and talent has passed
away, and II is the duty of courts and jurics
to compensate intellectual labor literally, and
not upon the basis Of manual labor" Words
aty spoken are as apples Of gold in pictures
OF silver, though generally they won't sell at
the same rate In the market.

CoPYRrGHr LrarT.--Judge Barnard decided
the other day in favor of the English owners of
trade mark who sued for violation of their
right this side the Atlantic. There Is law for
the protection Of copyright in so small piece
Of intellectual labor as label, but not in q
great labor like history. The difference is
that in the history there is supposed benefit
TO the people by cheap sales. In other words,
the law asserts that we may thrive by theft.
Public decentralization has its very fountain
head in such law.

RETRIBUTIvE JUsuoE.-That was high
tempered wife who, in argument with her hus-
band the other night, used such startling ex-
pressions as to cause her own death. She
evidently had exhausted her vocabulary.
She had no words equal to the requirements Of
her wrath, and so eked out her meaning with
the teapot, the stove lid and the lighted kero-
sene lamp. Striking her husband in the face
with this last 1t exploded and burned her so
thnt she has died since

DEVELOPING A New PowER.-Napocon
proposition for abolishing the quasi slavery of
the real industrial classes In France gives him
again really strong hold in the gratitude of
the great mass Of the people, and this will more
than balance the discontentcd clamor of the
party that has always called itself the people,
though only an outcast scrap of loafcrs and
idlers, living on theories and isms like tho
long-haired fellows this side the water.

TIE STONE BLOCKADE. During the war we
heard a great deal Of the stone blockade in
Charleston harbor, aud now we know how TO
feel for the sufferers. We have got q stone
blockade in Broadway. For block after block
the citizen Is aided in physical development
by the necessity of climbing over vast accumu-
latons of stone. All the roadway is taken
up and two-thirds Of the sidewalk. Worst Of
all is the fact that there is no probability now
that we shall ever have an open street again,
for the wear of this new pavement is such that
by The time the pavicrs are done at the upper
end Of broadway they will have TO begin again

The Fashions.

The managers of our principal theatres gave
yesterday ample opportunities to the ladies of
New York to display the spring fashions at a
dozen different matinees. But notwithstand-
ing the bright sunshine of the day March winds
prevailed, and most of the comparatively few
early blossoms of fashion appeared premature
alike at the theatre and on Broadway. We
must, therefore, content ourselves with refer
ring our fair readers to the description, by our
Paris fashions correspondent, Of the black
velvet casaques over black or purple poult
underskirts, and Of the black velvet trains with
which Partisan ladies rotated to their seats at
the cathedral of Notre Dame during Passion
Week. We hardly need to invite their atten-
ton also to the inquisitive Able Deguerry's
verdict against fashionable evening dresses.
The Emperor, it seems, was to attend solemn
mass in plain frockcoat, instead of his usual
uniform as a general of division, and the
Empress in black poult and black cashmere
tunic. But this piece of Lenten news comes
too late to be particularly useful, and one
novelty mentioned by our correspondents
tea table improoisatrice, who appears to be
an imtator (although ''of high birth') of the
vulgar singing girl Therese-is altogether un-
likely to be duplicated in the most rapid
circles Of our New York society. There are
some Partisan fashions which, it is to be hoped,
our New York ladies will never tolerate.

MEM. FOR THE MAYORS MARSHAL, OR ANY
OTHER MAN.-Around the very head centre
and seat of municipal power-'o on the great
stone gateposts that open to the sacred pre-
cincts ofthc City IIall--we see an excmplihca-
ton of the way license runs riot In the city.
Certain Of said stone gateposts on Broadway
are covered from top to bottom with posters.
All the length of the stone base OF the Park
railing is in the same state. Thus to dcface
public property is misdemeanor; but the
offender evidently had not the fear Of law or
Justice before his eyes. lie knows what
toothlcss old creatures they are. He, the
said offender, is doubtless ward politician,
and to prosecute him would be damaging to
the chances Of party men next election In the
bil-postcr's ward.

NExT.-Fes ssenden was wrong. The words
"l2th day Of April next" may properly be
used in April of day in the same month of
April. The word ''next" does not merely
qualify the word April, but 1t qualities the
whole expression, "l2th day of April" April
itself is not more definite division of time
than the 10Th day of April. five are speak
ing on the 9th day of April, the "l2th day of
April that comes 'next" after that time must
be In the same month. Grant was right,
therefore, and bis Senatorial critics not so ac-
curate as they thought.

for the property of such citizens confiscated or
destroyed; or If he should apply Lord John
Russel's neutrality and belligerent rights to
Cuba, or follow the Mexican example of
ing protectoratc over the island in the inter-
ests of civilization, there would be no foreign
Power that would have the right or the hardi-
hood to call him to account. England's ncu-
trality or Napoleon's Intervention precedent
will do. In the absence ofany de .facto govern
ment among the Cuban mountains the short
cut of Napoleon would be the best for Spain,
for Cuba, for us and for civilization; for there
will be peace no more in Cuba under Spain,
and none TO the world on the high seas If
France and England dare 10 intervene; and
they know II.
We would next submit to General Grant
that q short settlement of Cuba win make a
short and easy settlement with England on the
Alabama claims. Her belligerent rights and
neutrality cost us at least a thousand millions
of money, and quarter Of million Of human
lives sacrificed through the prolongaton of our
late costly rebellion. That is the BILL and there
can be no satisfactory equivalent short of the
cession Of her Britannia Majestys North Ameri-
can possessions. These things are to be.
They are coming. They are as surely coming
as anything in the future OF human affairs.
They may be realized under General Grant.
They must be undertaken by him, beginning
with Cuba, or they will become the winning
programme for the Presidential succession.

bis famous Appomattox apple tree; but the
route to bis second term leads through the
evergreen island of Cuba. The House of
