Brief Armistice in Wnshin gtOn.

The two houses Of Congress, desiring to
share in the social festivities Of the Christmas
and New Year holidays, have adjourned over
to. the 4th of January. The interval may be
considered an armistice between the republi-
can belligerents on the ST. Domingo and
other questions. We fear, however, that it
will not result in peace From the intimate
official relations required between the Presi-
dent and the Chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations it is commended by
the Presidents friends that Sumner, de-
clared enemy, should be removed. There is
much force in this argument; but there is
much mischief foreshadowed in the propo-
sition Senator Sumner, however, in view OF
the fitness of things, and from every considera-
ton of propriety, courtesy and expediency.
ought to give up his position as the Senate's
Chairman on Foreign Relations. The Presi-
dent, in our foreign affairs, acts ''by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate,
and the Senate trusts this business mainly to
the Chairman of its Foreign Affairs Commit
