the Customs Service and laws. All OF
these omissions are very important
those relating to Louisiana aud Utah
being particularly grave. AS We have
already seen, the Investigations made
necessary by the demoralized condition OF the
Legislative and Executive Departments OF thC
Government have engrossed so much OF the
attention of Congress that only the most i'm
mediately pressing legislation has been obtained
at all. BY this means however, we have es-
capped such jobs as the Postal Telegraph and
the Internal Improvement Canals.
AS the XLIId Congress goes into history II
will take with it reputation for fair inten-
tions but great feebleness. The Senate has
been obstructive, partisan, and unusually cor
rupt. Considering the relative smallness oil
its numbers, it has been conspicuously bad In
morals. 1t has been forced to consider
the expulsion of one of its members
and a strict inquisition for foulness
would drive out five times as many more

business-like the Second was mainly prepaf-
atory for the Presidential canvass OF 1872 ;

TIE NEW SENATE.

To-day at noon the XLI1d Congress comes
TO an end. 1t will make no brilliant figure in
history. It has carried out No great reforms.
1t has achieved no specially wise legislation.
1t has brought into political life no statesmen
and even no particularly able politicians. The
only great debates which have occurred in its
course will be remembered for the unavailing
protests of gallant minority against success
full wrongs; and, as we cast our eyes over the
record of the two years in Washington, the
only men who seem TO rise above the common
multitude are the few relics Of that better
order of legislators which is so rapidly passing
away. The XLIId Congress will be chiefly
remembered for scandalous exposures which
have not been followed by publication, delin-
duencies of members which have not been
punished, and the discovery of abuses in the
public service without consequent reform
alton.
As the XLIId Congress passes out of exist
ence, the new Senate of the XLlIId will meet
in extra session. We wish it more useful
career than that of its predecessor. The pecu-
liar temptations of Presidential year, will
narrow partisanship which has recently distin-
guished it. Taught by the present popular
revolt against dishonesty and deceit, and in
yigorated perhaps by the presence of a num-
Der of new members, fresh from contact with
their constituents, 1t may lend itself more
zealousy to useful works. We cannot say,
however, that ita eomDosition oaers al 6rst

Nobody will be disappointed that Senator
Pomeroy is whitewashed by the Committee
which has been investigating his case. The
indications that this would be the result have
been apparent. The report of the majority is
one-sided and superficial; it assumes that
Pomeroy was innocent, and his generally
doubtful reputation goes for nothing. AS Mr.
Thurman shows in his minority report, the
whole charge is not compressed in the York

The situation in Spain is growing every day
more critical. The Carlists are said to have
approached within twenty eight miles of Ma
drid. At Pampeluna, while the chiefs Ollo
and Dorregarray, with 1000 men, are within
cannon-shot of it's walls, there is the prospect
of Federalist revolt and some troops sent

mutnied. If the Government can live through
the present emergency, it will have little to

Indications for month past-minor Incl
dents happening in various localities of the
city-have pointed to another labor revolt this
year. We have had careful inquiry made on
all sides as to the prospects of strike; and
the conclusions reached by our reporters are
published elsewhere. Briefly stated, the facts
show that the midsummer madness OF the
worlingmen is likely to affect them very
early this year, and that strike of many OF
the trades is planned to take place early in
Nav, if not indeed in April. The preparations
are formidable. If early agitation does not
defeat the insane mOvement-and for that
purpose and in that hope we confess we have
searched for the facts-we shall have such q
stagnation of industry here as will nearly
paralyze business for months to come. While
the preparations for strike are formidable,
the organizations to resist it are also power
full. The employers are learning from their
employees ana this year their Unions, if not as
numerous as the workingmen's, are richer;
and they will make long and bitter resist
ance to the worlxingmen's demands There are
two months yet for conciliatiOn and cOmpro-
mise. Suppose, as preliminary to the serious
strike, a little diplomacy be employed on both
sides 1t is certain to be much cheaper, and
likely to be fully as effective as any strike OF

AS fually accepted from the Conference Com
mittee and passed. the salary-raising scheme is
not so Objectionable as originally proposed. Some
of the items of increase are only just and fair !;
and the outgoing members are not to share
in the benefits of their own legislation by
voting themselves a generous slice of back
pay. The bad feature of the whole case is
that this new standard of compensation will
compel general raise of salaries paid by the

We don't think that we ever met with more mel

There is nothing very singular in the case
reported elsewhere in which Messrs. Tweed,
Connolly,i Sweeny, and Thomas Murphy figure
on one side as joint claimants for proceeds OF
property to be sold under foreclosure of
mortgage. There is something like score
of such cases in reserve. The old Ring firm
aforesaid have about half a million dollars of
property similarly situated; and it will all
have to be disposed of under foreclosures OF
mortgages, unless Mr.. Murphy is enabled to
revive the Ring and make all the aforesaid
property available. We have before pointed
out that Mr.. Murphy was of the old Ring

The Hawaiians are in dead earnest IN tne'r
efforts to secure reciprocity trade with the
United States. Tho new King has oeon

and use his influence to negotiate treaty
rat,ser an unkiHgly errand, one would say
Now it is proposed to cede us vaiuaoie
borhor near Honolulu as an equivalent for
agreeing TO such trade convention; and a
dispatch from o trustworthy correspondent
there gives us some particulars. According
to all accounts, tho harbor is good one;
we need such a station for naval and marine
purposes; but the expediency of reciprocity
treaty and of making acquisition of an out
post in foreign dominions will be much dis
cussed before determined.

We intimated at the beginning of the ses-
sion that the Police Justices, who are of the
old Ring a surviving part, had made common
cause with the Charter faction at Albany
and meant to defeat the bill reforming
their courts and themselves out of Office. In
confirmation of this opinion we now learn that
the bill presented and argued by Mr.. Eaton,
and one of the most important yet before the
Legislature, is smOthered in the Judiciary
Committee of one of the houses. Who are
the enemies of Reform who Obstruct the bill !
1t is evident that the MOdocs read the news
papers. As a condition of their proposed sur
render they suggest visit to Washington.
They have heard of the junketings and the
good times which thrifty Indian agents and semi
repentant savage marauders have enjoyed,
and they want to have peace and look at
their "Great Father" AS for the other terms
on which peace is concluded, they are reason
able and just. Everybody will be glad that
this vexatious and somewhat humiliating little
war is over; and everybody will see now
how easily it might have been avoided in the
first instance.
A notable contrast between the two sides
debating the merits of the new Charter at
Albany is seen in the array of names. Among
those who oppose the partisan features of the
Charter are such men as Prof. Theodore
Dwight, DOrman B. Eaton, Jackson s. Schultz,
Howard Potter, and exGov. Solomon. These
men rcprcsent the best element of New-York
citizcnship; they are men of integrity ability,
public spirit. and commercial weight. Against

BESETTING SINS.

The good man daily acquires delicacy
of moral perception aud feeling, before whose
penetrating gaze his Utmost imperlectons are
laid bare. His outward blemishes, his gross.
er faults, may be amended But the sins
which cling closest, which wind themselves
subtly through the fibers Of his nature,-his
pride, vanity, sell-conceit, self.indulgencc,
and, above ALL the dsloyalty OF his selt-wiIl
TO the will of the All.Gooi these grow
only more apparent. He finds that to puri-
fy the tounta n-head of emotion in the soul,
to cleanse its depths from all that defles it,
to drive out lurking i'll from its recesses, aud
to untwlne the serpent coils OF selfshness
from his purposes and plans, his aims and in.
terests, is vastly harder work than build
ing fair walls of outer decorum. Some pow
erful excitement, some unwonted trial, will
rouse into action lawless impulses, over whose
subsection he had sung songs of triumph.
Long dormant evils, awakened by adverse
temptations, by rush Of prosperity or a
shock of adversely, by faltery and favor, or
by persecution aud peril, will burst forth
from their hding-places, with such violence
as almost to make him doubt the reality OF
his religious life. At such trying seasons, a
secret ejaculation, a cry OF the soul for God
grace to rescue, brings home to the good man
his instant dependence. With what CRATE
full JOY does he then hold fast to the assurance,
that he is never alone, for the Father is
with him, that the Living Source Of all good
is near to him as his own life, aud ready to
renew him with light and strength from
heaven.
