Both Houses of Congress havo ngreed to postpona flual adjournmont till 6 o'clock this ovening. ‘That will hopefully be the lnst of the present session. It hns cxtended over the extrnordinarily long period of eight months, and hos dono the country much more harn than good. The fnult has boen with tho House of Represent- atives, which has assorted more defiantly than any of ils predecessors its prerogative of originating sll menvures with money in them, aud has kopt the country in constant sgitation by delay fn legislation that ought to have passod, by thronts of legislation thnt onght not to pass, and by the most viclously partlsan manipulation of investigations and committeen. 'The presont House of Ropro. sontatives has made itself notorious as one of the most inexpurienced, dilatory, inef. ficlent, and intriguing logislative assomblages over called togothor, and its conduct during the last cight months ought to damn any party responsible for it. The character of this House was established from the moment Ttanparn was elocted Spenker nnd announced his comnmittces. The most important Com. mittoo in tao ITouss—the Ways and Means— waa given to the anolont New York politician Frunanvo Woon, who evolved a schomo of tariff rovislon thnt was n forogone failure by ronson of his fatbering it. ‘The Commitiee of Appropriations hins acquired a distinotion for its cxcoplioual backwardness, though the blame for this must rest largely on the House 88 a wholo, which hos boen too Lusily en. goged in tho effort at making partiaau capital to properly attend to its duty in furnishing the Government with subslstence, The Committes on Eloctions, uuder IHannis, of Virglula, assisted by the Hlinols Beraxoen, hns been consistently unfairin all cases of contest. Tho Greonback blatherskites— Bucknes, of Missouri, and Ewina, of Ohlo, —have boen finit oud eecond on the Cur- venoy Committee, and have boen a constant mounco to the businossintercsts of the coun. try. Banwixa in chargoof the Army Commit- toe and Wimirrnonne in oharge of the Navy Committeo have contributed all thoy could to the goneral palicy of running the House a4 A party convention. Porren's Bpecial Committeo was the crowning Infamy of this partisan prostilution of the Goverument Legislature, and its conduct and aim have allounted evon a large Democratic sontiment from tho body run by a Domocratio majority, 'The closing scenvs of alniost evory kession aromarked by a good deal of confusion, but those of the prevent session are much worse than usual. There s a joint rule of Con. gress whioh prolibits the presenting of any bill for the President’ssignature within three days before the adjournment of Congross, but the rule is always suspended, nud the rush at tho lnst hour i3 always used for car. ryiug out jobs that would not bear the scru. tiny of a deliberate consideration. How many of these will bo foisted upon President Haxes can only be determined with certsin. Ly after tho sesslon is over. Ho will be un- der the necessity of approving many things which ho ought to disapprove or leaving watters in such o shape as to require an oxtra seasion. It is hard to say which horn of the dilemma Iy the more objuctionable. Tha people of this country can better afford to lose seversl millions of dollars through in- competent or corrupt legialation than to en- dure tho embargo on busness prosperity which an extrs session of this same Congress would involve. The flnancial record of the present House could not well be worve than it It was obliged to make up a deficleucy of sbout $11,000,000 occasioned by the avowed purposs of the previous reduction of tho sppropriations below a liviug rate for political eapital in the last national campuign. At tho same thwe, it has doliberately passed & ruvenus measure which will lop off some §14,000,000 of the Governments luturnal gevenuos. ‘This wipes out BurLen as one of tho Ropublican members of the Committeo, Burrra's dissent from the roport of the IHouse Judielary Committos, which doclared the titlo of President Haves to have been irrovocably Hettled by the decision of the Elsctoral Com. auission and ita confirmation by the Forty. fourth Congresa, shows also that the Dewmo. crats made no mistake in their man when they packed the Porrzn Committee for the 1urposs of unseating the President, Burren auvouuced yestorday his opinion that the question of titlo is still an opon ono, and that tho presont Congress hag the power to depose President 1ayes.

This Yyear tho aggrugate is about $25,000,000, and the disposition of this enormous sum of wmoney is pructically lefc to the judgment of the six members who are sppointed from thy two Houses as members of the Conference Com- suittes to harmonize and compromise ali the differonces 83 to the items of the bill.

Gen. Gnosvexon was Speaker of the Ohlo House of Represontn. tives daring the controversy ovar the count of the Llectoral vote, and was on intimate torms with Gov.

He hind been one of the directors of the *Machine." o became a candidate, in his own mind, for the Prosidentinl nomination, The Con. vention snuffed him out. Ho sulked during the ocampaign, and gave more ald to TreoEN than to Harves, When i be. came ovident that the soat would bé contested, ConkuiNg proposed to make the most of his influence. Mo thought ho would be » member of the Electoral Com. mission, but his motives wero suspocted, and he failed in that. It was under this impres. sion, however, that he resolved to appronch the {ncoming President with a threat con- voyed by proxy. Gov. Haxvzs refused to be Llackmalled. He refused to farm out the Government patrouago to Mr, CoNkring, or tongres to ignoro Benatos Montox, whose scrvices had been ablo, distinguished, and officient, CoNxLING was not propared to carry out the full measure of his threat, be. causo ho was distrustod by his assoclates; but ho bas since done all he could to injure the President who refused to enter into tho corrupt bargein he had proposed. This is tho plain English of the charge made by Gon. Guosvenou, and Mr. Conxzang will be obliged to explain it satisfactorily or dis mount from his high horss ouce for all, THE PIONICKERS' CIPLES, Among tha mottoes exhibited in the Com- munist picnio procossion on Bunday was one which declared that * Capital s stolun wsgos" It appears from this either that tho porsons coucerned in gejting up the pic. nio aud writing the mottoos are grosaly ignorant of the truth or utterly reckless about it. They might as woll say that wages is stolen capital as to say that capital is atolen wages, Oapllal {s morely wages uavod up and used i roproduction, ‘The bargain between the capitalist aud the laboror 1s made on this basiv: “B," the workman, wishes to do something for his living. He finds groat ditfoulty in starting because he biasno tools or material. He canuoct earn bread without tools or matorial, or save up wages aud buy them until Le bas first mads provision for his aotual daily wants. But he finds that certaln otlier pervons possess the products of surplus labor which thoy have saved,—thatislabor which, in tho past, hasnot been consumed 1n supporting laborers. This surplus was savod by prudence, It is avall. able for the. purchuso of tools, machinery, and raw material, the psyment of rent, in- surance, and tales, sud whatever other ex- ponscs wmey be necessary for roproduotion, But the owner of this saved labor, haviug an advantsge in iia possession, will not part with it for nothing. He wants to be re- wmunerated for the use of it, He says, there- fore, in effoct, to the workingman, who has nothing, “I will conlribute my surplug earnings if you will contribute your time and muscle, aud we will both eugsgein a productive enterprise. ¥ will expect to be pald for my contribution ns well g that you will expect to be paid for yours, Bewides, I the Binking Fand at a singlo -swoop.

Senator CoxziiNo, of New York, nvalled himself of the closing hours of the Scnate, when time is 8o procious, to nreaign the Ad. ministration of Prosident Iaves. Ile wns not manly and ontspoken about it, and failed, 88 horetofore during the eutire eession. to tako the bold position of nntagonism which ho would have taken if he hnd ns much conr- nge as hae has spleon. . But, trno to his in- stincts, he made a little appropriation of £6,000, proposed for tho paymant of the Louisinna Commission's cxponaes, the pre- toxt for the slurs diroctod ngainst the Presi- dent personnlly. Coxxrixe bas plnyed the part of & snenk and poltroon in this whole business. Ilad ho made that spocch denan. ciatory of the Eleotoral Commission, and the earnings. combine, to say in sober carnest that *capital is stolon wages.” ‘There weremany more foolish and reckloss mottoes inthe provession. One of them was, *‘Down with priviloged brend.” This is tho substance of the plonickers' philosophy, It monns that privileged braad, which is tho broad that a man is privileged to eat after he hos carned it, shall bo prohibited, IHow much bottor is it, say the picnickers, to et unpriviloged bread,—that is bread which haa not beon earned or paid for by the persons who consume it. * All for one, aud ona for all,” 18 another sentiment, which menns, it it means anything, that a community of goods, and wives, and talents is tho perfec- tion of human eoclaty. It is no wonder, after this, that tho Communist pienickers doclared that thero should bo **no mns. ters and no slaves." Thoy consider ‘“slaves” thoso who take a fair day's ‘wages for a fair day’s work, aud * masters " those who pay a fair day's wages for o falr doy's work. But who are the mastors and who the slaves, wo would like to know, whon the lossesin businesshavo to be borne ? It ia not nlways, nor oven genorally, plalo sailing for tho *capitaliat,” Ho frequontly Lins to glve up part or all of his surplus nsed for reproduction in order to fulfill his con- traots. Would the workman bo less a slave if ho were compelled to bear this loss or to run tho risk of it? Ifthe division woro once made, and every workman on the face of the earth were provided with tools and materal, the time would soon conse again when thrift, enorgy, and self-denial would take nwny the shares of tho lazy, shiftloss, or dissipated mou, and give them to the wise, frugal, and industrlous, It is a libel upon tho in. dustrious and intelligont workman to call him a alave, aud upon a liberal employer to call him & moster; for thore is no man so poor that he cannot by industry and econ- omy become o capitalist, at loast to the oxtent of the possession of a kit of tools nod a cottage and garden, and thoro is nono 80 rich that his possessions may not suddouly tako unto thomsclves wings and fly nway. The workman, and not tho capltalist, is the truo master; for without labor capital 1s powerloss, whilolabor mnay notonly oxist with- out, but moy croate, capital. As capital 18 merely accumulated labor, all that labor has to do to obtain capital is to spend loss than it earna. Bat without labor properly called capital docays and falost. 1t s for the nd- vantago ot both to work togother; but whon thoy do not 8o work, it ia capital that suffers most, Hence it is always ncocssary for cap- ital to employ labor, and it always does so when it can. No amount of fulminations in plonfcs will mako it omploy more than it ocau. OREECE AND THE CONGRESS, The Grecian question fa looming up as one of the moat important aubjects claiming the attention of the European Congress. ‘I dispatches say that it has becn definitcly brought forward, and bLos alvendy nssumed 80 much more importance than was first expected, that its sottlemont may yot be n vory complioated nffair. ‘The shape which tho question hns assumod is not what con. cosslons ean be made to Grecece, but whother she shall be represented by a delegate, If an offirmative declsinn is renclied, thon thnt represontative will mako a definite atatement of tho claims of his country. Graeco cortainly Las avory right to expeot & representation in the Congruss If she can put any fatth in Eogland's promiscs, althaugh she {8 not one of the Bignatory Powers and Las nothing to do with guaranteeing Europesn pence. Lord Dznny oxpressly promised the Athonian Governmont that, when tho Cou. Rresa mot, England would snpport its clauns to active representation. Lord Bivissuny weut still further, and, according & the Lon. don Times, informod the Goverument that Euogland would not consider auy sottloment a4 doflnite that did not provide for the good govornment of all the Hellonio provinces, and also notified the Dritish Cousul to toll the disaffected Grooks that, if they laid down their arms, England wonld secure for Groece & full and favoruble hiearing iu the Congress, ‘T'oo notion of ths Athenian Government it- solf fu connection with these promises en. titles it to a hearing, Although feopardized by its own people, and. subjected to tro. mendous pressure from all classes of its sub- jeots, who were anxlous to emulate the example of Roumauia, Sorvia, Montonegro, and other Bclavio Btates, the Govern. ment restrained its excitabla people, and committed mno overt act pending tho war, It monifested the most remarkable self-restraint under tho grentest pousible temptation to join tho victorious armies of the Czar and earn some conees- slous in the final wottlement. There can be little doubt that with the influence of En. glaud shio will secure a representation, al. though her delogata can do little ore than presont ber claime. Itis not likely that he ‘will bo allowed to take sny part iu tho con. sultatious or have any volce in ths ultimate decisions, as Greece was not & sigaer of the treaties of 1850 or 1871, aud pluys no part in preserving the peace of Europe or regu. lating the affairs of the European Siates, The claim that he will make is well unde:. stood to b the annexation of ‘Thessaly and Epirus, and it is oluo stated 'that she will lay claim to Bhodes, Bamos, and Crete. 8o far a5 the latter islauds are conceraed, however, it may be questioned whethicr the claim is mado with avy expectation that f¢ will be allowed. It looks rather like the action of will, if you choose, pay you befora the prod- ucta aro aold, and take all the risks of find. ing n markat when we ars ready for it; but for this risk, in addition to my own porsonal enmings, [ will expect to be fairly paid.

Theso classes, who are generally Aot considered ¢ eapital. ists " at all, in reality posscss throe.quarters of the capital in thia country., Whon the products of their thrift, economy, self-donial, and industry are taken from them, and dis- tributed to tho shiftless population of the great citles—the liquor-drinkors, speach. makers, and salariod * managers” of the Communiat rable—It will perhaps be time some_traders who eohargs an exorbitant snm g0 aa to have n generons margin for shrinkago, Thoy have some gronnds, howover, for hopo that thoy nay obtain Theenaly aud Epirns, howaver shnd- owy they may be, There is a poetical and sympnthotic fecling on tho part of nenrly all nations, and tho sentimont Lina hitherto beon very strong in England, that these provinces once belonging to Groecs should be restorod to hor, and the Greeks thomsclves oan mako a strong arguinent to tho ffect that solongns theso provinces nre exposed to the cruel caprices of Turkish power thero can be no permanent peace in Enrope. In fact, the same wrotched rosults that have characterized Turkish rnle in Balgaria aro likely at any time to precipitate the same great strgglo, If an insurrection in Horzo- govina, a lesa important province than cither Thossaly or Epirua, conld convnlse all Europe, thoro i8 no reason why an insurrection in the latter provinces may not at any timo precip. itate another tremondous war. Prosuming that n reprosentative of Groeca mny be admitted, and that he will file the cldm we have onllined, it docsnot follow that Englaud will support it very ene- thusinstically, if at nll. ‘8he has not com- mitted horself boyond s promiss to nse her influence in securing represntation. Un- doubtedly her sympathics lie in that di- rection, but her policy is in conflict with hor sympothy, The now coup which Lord DBeaconsriztp threatens to spring any day is not favorablo to Greclan aspirations, 1If, na now scoms probnble, he establishes n pro- tectorato ovor Asla Minor, roaching oven to Porala, to forestall Russia in hor advanco to. wards India, Englaud must have Turkey for anally; but if shoadvizestha cessionof Epirus and Thessaly to Groecoshomnakesnn onemy of Turkey instend of an ally, and Russia gaing an immonse advantage, The London Témes, which for some timo pnst has represented the policy of tho Governmont and given it o vigorous support, undoubtedly forashadows that polioy, and at the samo timo warns the Grecks not to loan too heavily upon English sympathy, when it says: ‘‘To mnnex the Greok provinces to the Hellenic Kingdom wonld no doubt bo the botter, course if the Tlonipotentiaries could cut snd oarve Otto. man territory.
