TUESDAY JULY 12, 1S70. Adjournment of Congress. A very polite Frenchman applauded vehemently nt the close of an exceedingly tedious f>erformanee by a fair but wretched musician. 44 Why do you applaud ?" a#ked a bystander. 4<Mon Dieu ! because it is (i uled" We are in just the condition to appreciate, that Frenchman's act. Congress is atx)ut to adjourn, it really would not surprise us if Government bonds were to rise next Saturday and gold go down. So general is the impressfrin that Congress i> capable of doing almost any fooli>h act which might be proposed that the moneyed men of the country live in astate of constant apprehension during the sessions of that body. No one can point to any act or speech passed or delivered l?y any member of the dominant party which indicates a high order of statesmanship. fn reyard to many matterN of less .bn|>ortance. Congress shows more wisdom. IT is, in a word, what might be called a " Yankee " ( ongrcss. It esteems money more than principle ; and according* ly, notwithstanding the horror with which Wall street regards it, it manages financial questions better than it does quest ioninvolving the basis principles of the Government. All the newspapers in the country, or at least nine-tenths of the many we scp, demanded an alxolute repeal of the income fax, but their appeals were treated with contempt? a strong evidence that the members of Congress know the wishes of the voters in this resj>ect. and represent them, too, better than the tax-paying editors. Mr. Boutwbll's funding sclu'im- h;is also so far failed of passage? not that tlie debt ought not to be funded, hut because these shrewd money-loving congressmen know that it ought to Ik* funded, if at all, at four perl ciint., and that it would lie wiser to wait until the credit of the Government shall have so improved as to render funding at that low rate of interest as feasible as it is desirable. These are referred to as mere specimens of the acts of Congress involving no question of principle. Hut if we reveiw the journal of that body we shall find that no Congress has ever done more to bring Yepuhlican government into contempt, or to break down the harriers which the Constitution once interposed between civil liberty and unrestrained power, or to impel the Government onward in a track which must land it in despotism. The members seem to have no knowledge whatever of the Constitution itself, or of the nature of a free Government. They legislate as if Congress were as nearly omnipotent as the British Parliament. They legislate, but they do not deliberate. They are I not qualified tor the places they fill. They are the cankers of a long war, not yet eradicated. Faista ff's cankers of a long peace were harmless compared with them. We trust that we shall never look upon their like again.

Adjournment of the Legislature. Yhe Legislature has adjourned. It (lid a great deal of work. Wo have never known a more industrious legislative body. Indeed, we feel like saying that we have never, known one as industrious. Elected under ' extraordinary circumstances; surrounded ' by difficulties innumerable; compelled to put Into operation a Constitution which i> mt awkwardly and ambiguously worded that no one can say with certainty what main of it < provisions mean ; and almost all without experience in legislation ; J he members ; have done credit to themselves. All of their j acts have not pleased u<. we confess ; yet we cannot deny t?? them that praise to which liny are justly entitled. We hope that they will return next fall with lull purpose of mind to do still better. ' The King's Jester. In former (lav* every King kept about his court a fool, who was privileged because he was daft to say and do all manner of disagreeable things that were bv no means allowable in men of higher rank and more sense. .Massachusetts evidently keeps up this custom. Whilst I$utlek, and Wilson, and Moutwell, and nil the rest of her socalled statesmen, have to trim their sails t<> catch the popular breeze, and watch public opinion with a pilot's eye, Sumner says and does just what he pleases, lie seems to be regarded as a totally unaccountable being. "Wilson and Butler are forced by the pressure of public opinion to come out against the importation of coolies, whilst Si mnkk, represent u)g the same State t hey do, denounces the attempt to exclude the Chinese in unmeasured terms. The King's jester is now as ever a privileged character.

Wardwell Redivivus. A Cranston (It. i.) correspondent or the New York Tribune reports that Wardwfxi. is upturning tilings at the 44 State Farm" at that plait*, the new prison of which he lias lately been put in charge. 44 Hi* extraordi- '* nary moral power over uicn und women 44 imprisoned for their crimes is making it. sell "felt." No doubt of it. He made it felt here until he had to be removed. WakdWKi/L empannelled recently a jury ot six prisoners to try another who had escaped from the 44 State Farm." They sentenced him to coniiiieinent in the dungeon twelve hours without lbod or drink. Wahdwkm. replied .' 44 Your sentence shall be carried into effect. I thank you for this service." As they withdrew he heard one of them say to the others: "Good God! did you hear that, boys ? He thanks us !" A prisoner to whom Wakdwell had given a pass allowing him to be absent forty-eight hours, and who stayed seventy-two, fared better. Wakowkll gave him another pass, and said if he made such a 44 botch" as he did the first time he would give him a third and go with him. "Wonderful discipline ! But the strangest story of all, and the one relied upon to establish Wardwell's claims to immortality as a second Howard, is that one of five prisoners who were at work out of sight wanted to escape, and the other four wouldn't let him go. They said : "Captain Wardwell is our friend, and we will neither play him false ourselves nor j)ermit you to do it ; you must return with us." "We congratulate Rhode Island upon having acquired such a superintendent of convicts, and Virginia upon having got rid of him. Both seem to l>e pleased. The New York Tribune is full of pluck. It quotes what It terms a piece of 44 pungent southern literature" from the Dispatch as & means of infiueucipg the Radical members of Congress to allow the Chinese to he naturalized. The Tribune may find much good reading matter in our editorial columns ; and we doubt uot ?hat even congressmen might profitably peruse some of it. But that the tribune, or the Dispatch, or any other Journal that feels a deep concern for the consistency of tho Hepubliusn party, will he able to m:<ke these recalcitrant congressmen work kindly in the traces when it Is proposed to ailow Mongolians to migrate peacefully to Massachusetts, aud tbgre become citizens of these United PtftUsi, is what we don't b<j|i?ve. We feel jfrtv'vcd, mi jflfcpued of such a part/,

The Declaration of Independence is at a discount. The " brotherhood of all mankind." is no longer the shibboleth of Rcpublgranisin. There are seventy-five Chinese at North Adams, and all Massachusetts has "erred and gone astray." And ConI gross ran do nothing without the aid of Massachusetts. Mrs. Lincoln.? Mr. Yates, who reprel sents Mr?. Lincoln's own Stale of Illinois. I said in the Senate Saturday, in discussing I he proposition to pension that lady, that i he did not care what others might say, he knew that Mrs. Lincoln and all her family sympathized with the rebellion throughout its existence, and he wouldn't vote a dollar for foreign show. Mr. Sai i.snruv, of Delaware, created great merriment by proposing I hat senators make up a purse for Mrs. Lincoln out of their own pockets, and said he would give as much as Sumner. John Chinaman.? A Washington correspondent. of the Baltimore Sun says that a majority in the Senate, where the servile labor bill is under discussion, are opposed to the Chinese importations. JTe adds that (j arret Davis denounces the Chinese as a race with a language without an alphabet, a religion without a God, and death without an immortality. The Income Tax. As both Houses of Congress have agreed upon it, the income tax hereafter is to be two and a half per cent, upon so much of every man's income as exceeds $2,000. There are not out of the fourteen thousand voters in Richmond three hundred who will have this tax to pay hereafter. ? ? 1 1 olden has declared martial law in Caswell county, N. C. One such villain as Holdkn suffices to keep an entire State always in hot water. General Ma honk writes to Colonel Flocrnoy that he does not look upon the hitter's railroad scheme as a rival.
