The Adjournment Of Congress.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore SUI gives the following as to the
adjournment of Congress:
sit is at last settled that there is to be a
session Of Congress. The President has
spoken, ard the House has reversed its de-
cisions on fnal adjournment, and decided to
remain and legislate on the condition Of af-
fairs in the South. This sudden change was
brought about by the President sending to
both houses his special message.
In the House, as soon as the message was
read, MIR. Shellabarger moved for select
committee of nine, to whom the message
should be referred, with instructions to report
a bill. 1t was amusing so see in the debate
that followed the republican members who
had been opposing such legislation turn
around aud yield to the Presidential beck by
favoring it now.
Mr.. Dawes, who had been pre-eminent in
endeavoring to secure a final adjournment,
was suddenly willing to stay and legislate,
and Mr.. Garfield, who ten days ago demon
strated quite clearly that the President had
all the power that was needed to enforce the
laws and suppress disorder, now saw the Sit
uation in very different light, and thought
that Congress ought to remain and do some
thing! Many Of these republicans had, not
an hour before, voted that there was no rea-
son why the House should sit longer than
Monday. The reception OLA presidential
message Of not more than twenty lines
wrought all this change, aud secured united
vote in the republican ranks. The demo-
Gratis made the point on the President that
two weeks ago he had informed Congress that
he had no business to communicate, and no
event had transpired since to induce him to
change his mind. Gen. Farnsworth suggest
ed that some one had changed it for him.
Gen. Butler was in great glee that Speaker
Blaine and Dawes. and Garfield, and other
legis lation, had at last been forced TO come
ont in favor Of it. The special committee of
the House will probably report bill on Mon
day, which will be debated most Of the week
and then passed to the Senate. where it will
probably be pending two weeks. 1t is conce-
ded that the session will, therefore, last a
month longer.
In the meantime the San Domingo report
will be submitted, though the President asks
for DO legislation except on the Ku-Kiux
question"

SOMETHING NoTEwoRTHY.-The most ex.
traosdiuary part Of the business of Summers
undong, says the Montgomery Advertiser,
is, that it was effected by the carpet-b aggers
from the South, the representatives of the
negroes, whom Sumner kas so much affected
to love, and SO persistently sought to serve.
Thirteen of these so-called Senators, repre-
senting only negro constituencies, led by
Brigadier Ames, Of Mississippi, combined
with the Mortons, Stewards, Nyes, and others
of Grants ruAians, and marked Sumner for
the shambles. It is strange how mysteriously
Providence works out its plans. Is not this
retribution ? Sumner beat, mortified, swept
from his seat Of power, deserted by his fat
terers, and sneered at by his enemies, and
this done by the Southern negroes IF this
be not a case Of an engineer, ''hoisted by his
own petard," we have never heard Of one.

The SOUTHERN PEoPLE.-Senator Saw
Carolina, Che is a native, we believe, Of Mas
sachusetts) is telling his political friends
some things, which they ought to heed, and
which we are glad to see coming from his
side of the house. In recent speech, speak
ing of the people Of the South, he said:
ale abhorred secession as much as any
one, but knowing that these people thought
they were right, now that they were con
quered and their political heresies utterly OBJ
liberated, he could not follow the example Of
others and hippantly huri at them the cpl
thets of rebel and traitor. He could not de-
Louuce them because, they would not re-
pcnt, because, as they. believed they were
right, they had nothing to repent Of. They
fought for the principles which they had been
educated from infancy to implicitly accept,
and there were as brave and honorable men
in the Confederate army ascver drew sword
or lifted musket.'
Again, in commenting upon the reports Of
alleged 'outrages" in the South, he said:
.Much had been said, here and elsewhere
as to the inclination of the SoNthern people
to enter into another 'rebellion.' But he
would tell Senators there was noe one word
of truth in it. In the face Of their mained
sons, their desolated hearthstones, their ruin
ed homes, their devastated fields, no such fool
ish idea could be entertained by them for a
moment He did not think that any of the
disturbances IN the South originated from
hostility to the General Government, but
that they were inspired by disaffection to the
local governments. And why? Because the
men who are most fitted by education and
position to take part in the affairs of State
were excluded from all participation. Through
this cause it could not be denied that men of
an inferior moral and intellect ual stamp had
been elected into public positions. /"
