REVOLUTIONARY YoTHINgs.

The longest and most labonous Of Do-Hoth-
ing Congresses has adjourned. 1t is not an
error to speak Of it as Do-Nothing Congress,
though it has admitted four new States, and
passed some other acts of Importance. For il
has been in actual session about thirteen
months, and the bills which have been passed
have not in fact occupied one whole month Of
It's time II these are the measures which II
ought to have passed, or upon which 1t was
possible for the two houses to agree, the whole
Of that work could have been done in single
month, and the rest of the time may be Justly
said to have been spent in doing nothing. Try
ing to do impossible things is in fact doing
nothing.
UNFORTUNATELY for the reputation Of this long
est Of Congresses il Ia not true that II did all
the desirable things upon which it was poesible
for the two houses to agree. The Do Nothing
spirit effectually dictated to preyenta majority
In both houses from accomplishing It's will
The record conclusively proves that bills Of
great importance, which more than clear ma
jority in both houses wished to pass, were de
feated by minority in one house, through Its
control Of the organization and committees, and
the upscrupulous and indecent use of that
power It may be broadly stated that no Other
American Congress has ever been SO completely
defeated by a minority Of its members, in &c
many matters of Importance. To mention only
single instance, the Internal Revenue Bill
which would have cut OF large part of the
unnecessary taxation though it was favored b,
two-thirds of the House, and would have beer
passad Immediately by the Senate, was de
feated by arbitrary use of the Speakers power
The Presidents veto Of the Direct Tax bill
would undoubtedly have been set aside By
two-thirds vote in the House, as it was in III,
Senate, but small minority in the House die
tated to the whole country on that matter also
and ON the French Spolistion claims. Their,
have boon so many Of these instances, In which
the minority in one house actually dictated Il
both houses, that this Congress stands uniquC
and unprecedented in that particular.
What the usurping minority has actlialiy
done, Il will be found upon examination, il {,

tracted under existing laws, # the supply o.

yice-President Morton seized and welded
the gavel yesterday with the dizziness ana
yigor of veteran. His composure and dig
nifty In opening the extra session were admir-
able. In his felicitous little speech he said
that he assumed his new duties without preyi-
Gus experience as presiding officer, and there
fore he besought the indulgence OF the SEN
ators. The apology was really not needed.
Mr.. Morton has made an excellent beginning,
and bids. fair to be model President Of the
Senate
A casual remark Of MIR. Gladstone's quoted
by MIR. Yates, in his chatty cable dispatch,
shows that the Liberal leader is in an extremely
hopeful and confident state of mind. He is
described as saying that Lord Salisbury ana
The Timss5 must fall together. 1t is easy
10 lar TOO much stress upon a sentence uttered
as an ASIDE on the spur Of the moment but
probably this remark may be accepted as q
correct index Of Mr.. Gladstone's real state OF
mind Yet his belief cannot be shared by
many Of his sympathizers. The Tmes'S'
collapse Is already 50 complete as almost 10

Iy mean to hold on as long rs possible. 1t is
plain thai an appsal to the country in the pres

Democratic Committee to examine this patent

Inspiring, imposing sublime and full Of happy
assurances to the people, Is the spectacle Of the
transfer of the Executive authority from one
American citizen to another. Nothing could
better illustrate the stability of our Republic.
Nothing could be more eloquent in praise Of popu-
bar government When the representative Of one
great American party in peaceful dignity escorts
his victorious adversary the representative Of the
other great American party, before the assembled
Nation, and there. In solemn ceremonial, peace
fully surrcnders q measure Of authority known
TO bat one monarch in ChristeEdo1n, and he ON
autocrat, and when that potent office thus peace
fully surrendered is peacefully assumed, where
upon the Nation turns around and goes quietly
on with its daily business MS though nothing OF
consequence had happened-when this simple drama
IS enacted the highest and greatest test OF oil is
applied to free government No such spectacle
can be found elsewhere on the face Of the globe
