THE NEXT SESSION.

The approaching session Of Congress
is being looked forward to with much
eagar curiosity in the minds VI many,
and doubtful apprehensions in those OF
others. 1t is stated that the worst ele-
ments OF the Republican party-such as
the Southern carpet-baggers, the railroad
and ring corruptionists unite to-
gether for the purpose Of enacting per-
feet saturnalia during the short three
months of their official existence. That
large deficiency bills will be asked for,
the estimates greatly increased; that SUBJ
sides, both of land and bonds, will be
layishingly distributed to oil who will
pay literally for the privilege, and the
motto of the members of the lately |
dominant party will be "Sauve qui |
peut." Each one making off with as much
plumber as he can get hold Of. 1t has
been so strongly intimated that this will
be the plan of operations pursued during
the next session, that the more respecta-
ble members of the Republican party are
becoming very uneasy and apprehensive
least that, should be the programme.
Their fears are also shared by the intelli-
gent masses, irrespective of all party
considerations. 1t is to be hoped that
their forebodings will not to be realized
but it must be admitted that there are
reasonable grounds for their existence.
The characters of many of the men that
have been displaced are anything but
good. The carpet-bag element from the
South has all along been notorious for
corrupt and mercensry practices of the
very worst nature. When to these are
added the large body OF representatives
that are tainted with the Credit Mobilier,
the salary steal, the District frauds, and
other improper transactions, We find a
body OF men who are very powerful for
evil and totally unwilling to effect any
good, unless the latter happens to be
profitable. Such set of men as these,
who have only been brought to. the sur
face by past troublous times, finding
their hold on power gone, that they must
shortly sink into the obscurity, from
which it is the nations misfortune they
ever emerged, they are not at all IN.
likely to signalize the last few weeks of
possession by enactine any villainy
that would crafty their passion for
cupidity and revenge. They will need
careful watching. The only persons that
can prevent the accomplishment OF any
vile schemes of the character We have
indicated, will be the better class of
the Republican party. They will have
double interest in subverting any such
nefarious projects in protecting the in
terests of the country, as we'll as those of
their own party. The bitterest enemy
of the Republican party could not wish
it to take q course which would more
offectually ruin it than INDUCING in wild.
extravagant and corrupt legislation. If
it does that, then it will sink in the dull
depths of oblivion, never to revive. The
interests of the party then should teach
apurer, a better, safer course to pur
sue. To this should be added the we'll
being of the country, which corrupt aud
reckless legislation might greatly en-
barrass. We hope these considerations
will prove weighty enough for the mass
of the Republican party to become equal
to the occasion, and for their own honor,
as we'll as that of their party and the
country. they will not permit any un.
principled Adventures to cast An indeli-
BILE stain upon a party which, however
much it may have erred of late years,
has been of great benefit to the country
in the past. We trust that if any at
tempt of the character referred to il
made. that the honest and decent por
ton of the House will throw aside al
partizanship and stand firmly togethe
in defence of the honor and safety of tn
country, which the men we have allude
to would barter away for mess o
pottage.
