THE END OF The SESSION.

Last night at nine o'clock, after pro-
tracted struggle over the Supplemental Force
BILL the Second Session of the XLIId Con-
gress was finally adjourned. The session of
Congress which Immediately precedes Presi-
dental election is always prolific in legisla-
ton and debate designed to influence the
people at the polls; and this has been true of
the labors of the Congress which has just
adjourned. There have been promises and
appeals in plenty; there would have been more
laws actually passed in the general public
interest if Congress had not dallied and pro-
crastinated, until the popular discomfort took
such shape that, late in the session, some
relief was found Immediately necessary.
Whether wisely or not the junta controlling
the conduct of affairs have been bold and posi-
tive. They have directed the general business
of Congress solely with view to influence the
nomination and reelection of President Grant,
and have stopped at nothing which seemed to
fortify themselves and their chief in power
No Congress since the last violent days of the
rule of the slave oligarchy has been so dis
graced by the violation of rule, precedent, and
every principle of justice; and never before has
there been so clearly developed the dangerous
and alarming possibility of conspiracy between
the President and a compact cabal in the
Senate to subyert the liberties of the people,
conceal the true condition of public affairs,
and centralize legislative judicial, and execu-
tive functions in one small organization.
During this term about five hundred bills
have finally passed both Houses of Congress
and become laws. OF these, only four or five
are of much national Importance. The House
and Senate each early began revision of
the Tax and Tarif laws; and, after infinite
discussion and delay, they succeeded in passing
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1872-06-11

q bill which did not outrage the sense Oh inc
country 80 much as was feared OF 1t, and de-
stroys many of the stock grievances OF tho
Free Traders. 1t reduces the duties on salt,
iron, coal, lumber, and the staple manufac-
lures, and on ship-building materials. 1t was
said that discussion on the vexed questions
was closed thus for many years, but 1t Is sure
to rise again with another Congress election.
There were attempts to continue the Income
Tax indefinitely, but the House of Represen-
tatives particularly, stood manfully by its de-
termination that the tax now under collection
should DO the last of that unpopular impost.
Another important measure was the ADJUST
ment of the popular representation In Con-
eress on the basis of the Ninth Census. The
Apportionment bill was judiciously framed
and carefully and thoroughly discussed; as
finally passed, it has been in the main accep-
table to the country. Great hopes were enter
tanned that this Congress would finally end
the long civil war and let US have
peace in the form Of Universal Amnesty.
But the President, in his message OF
last December, showed that he favored
partial amnesty only; and in such modlhed
form the obsequious Senate was willing to
consent to it. The measure, finally forced
from Congress by the demands OF the people,
ia q great advance in the right direction, and
its few but severe exceptions make Its ncom-
pleteness additionally unfortunate Several
attempts were made to secure further civil
rights for the enfranchised blacks, and TO
abolish the franking abuse. An intolerant
Senate, secure in long term OF Office, reso-
lutely defeated both these propositions
whenever they were brought forward
Finally, came the Supplemental Force DILL
which was designed to give the South into
the hands of the Administration party ana
establish the bayonet law once more IN all
the lately rebelliOus States. Though the force
of the conspiracy was broken by the deter
mined attitude of the House, the country VIII
long remember that this scheme to fasten an
odious enactment upon an unwilling people
WAS an offspring of tho Second Session OF the
XLIId Congress.
This has been notably session of investl-
cations. The abuses which grew up with the
war riotously survived it. Capitalization, DIS
regard of law, jobbery, and corruption had
their deInoralizing effect upon the public ser
vice. The investigations into the New-Orleans
and New-York CustOm-houses sales OF Arms
to the French, Naval Affairs, and other adj
ministrative doings proved how carelessly and
selfishly the Government is conducted ms
has been fully discovered, although the eager
gentlemen who consider that every conviction
of an official thief or incompetent is a personal
attack on the President have Obstructed each
step of the investigations; have stified In
ouiry. packed the Committees, and huddled
out of sight the reports of the minorities

honest and loyal adversary. The eifor~ 49,
by the Hon. VIM. d. Kelley TO prevent {"
House from mourning the discredit of break
ing an implied pledge TO the minority, formed
almost the sole relief to peculiarly disagree
able scene. This prompt and efiicacious revolt
of an honorable man against the decree OF
servile caucus, followed as it was by immedi-
ate success, showed plainly enough, what we
have before referred to, that the House of
Representatives has never yet sunk to the
level of the Senate, in its submission to Ex-
ecutive dictatiOn. All of Gen. Garfeld's in
stincts would naturally have led him to the
right side, in the controversy of yesterday.
But he Is disciplinarian enough, when
his blood is up, to think flibustering" as
bad an evil as repressive legislation. While
we can respect his attitude, it is impossible to
regard with anything but contempt the frantic
denunciations which Mr.. Bingham heaped
upon the minority for resorting to those par
liamentary weapons which he himself boasts
of having employed to defeat the Kansas pro-
visions of the Army Appropriation bill of 1858,
and which resulted in the calling of an extra
session. The thing which he then did, and
now brags of, he calls disgraceful and dis
honorable" when done by other men as in
tellgent and as patriotic as himself.

THE FIGHT ON THE FORCE BILL.

Whatever opinions may be entertained of
the recent work of the present Congress, it
will be with feeling of relief that every one
will learn that both Houses have adjourned.
A large majority of the Senate, and smaller
but still efficient majority in the House of
Representatives, had fallen so completely under
the control of the worst men who surround
the President. that there was no security
against any legislation which ignorance or
caprice might demand of them. We hope
they will be rendered comparatively harmless
by next December through the influences ex-
erted Ivy the November elections In the
meanwhile it is with almost unalloyed salts
faction that the country will hear of their
dispersion for the Summer.
Yesterdays work will be in several respects
memorable. 1t was not material victory for
either side, for though the Force bill passed
as an amendment to an Appropriation bill, it
was 80 modified in the final session of the
Conference Committee that it is of little prac-
teal benefit to those who hoped to use it to
prevent the popular rejection of Gen. Grant.
The bad precedent is, of course, deeply to be
regretted rule of the Senate has been
recklessly broken by the Administration Sen
ators, and the substantial fruits of this dis
honest proceeding were only snatched away
from them by the questionable expedient of
filibusterngn in the House Of Representa-
tives. But the moral victory rests en-
tirely with the opposition. They have acted
with singular discretion and consistency in
both Houses. With the exception of the
momentary outbreak of Mr.. Morgan, the OPP
position have left to the adherents of the
President monopoly of violence. They have
opposed to their utmost a most Objectionable
and irregular attempt to ingraft upon the
necessary legislation of Congress needless
and exasperating political provision. They
have drawn its fangs at last and then to save
the country the annoyance and danger of an
extra session, they have allowed it to pass.
In its present state it will harm its inventors
more than any one else. h.a

If ii were not so pitiful it would be comic
to announce that there is another misunder-
standing in the Alabama Case. Mr.. Fish, in
conversation with Sir Edward Thornton, has
pointed out antiquities in the Supplemental
Treaty. Sir Edward informs his Government
of this, and Lord Granville naturally proposes
that they shall be removed. Mr.. Fish protests
he meant nothing by his suggestions, and the
Treaty cannot be altered. Gen. Schenck is
ordered to make all possible explanations,
which it seems are not enough. Earl Gran
vile thinks it will take time to arrange
our differences, and therefore proposes a
joint note to the ArbitratOrs proposing
a pOstponement for eight months. He
will propose this at all events in behalf of
England, and sends draft of the memoran-
DUN to be filed at Geneva on the 10Th,
in which he gives notice that unless the diff
ferences between the two Governments are
settled before the close Of the term fixed for
the adjournment, England will cancel the APP
pointment of her Arbitrator and withdraw
from the Arbitration. Mr.. Fish, who seems to
have been driven to the WALL declines to join
in the request for adjournment, but hopes it
may be granted without reference to us. This
is an unhappy position to be placed in, but
we have the luck of this. 1t is not possible
to conceive how we can now get out of the
trouble with profit or dignity. The Govern
ment has been weak on important points, and
stiff on trifies; it has been uncandid where
candor would have been prudent, and loqua-
cious where reserve was required; it has asked
for more than any one dreamed of, and sur
rendered more than England expected, until
it has lost the power of insisting upon being
treated with confidence or respect.
