The Congressional Recess and pected Good Kiffects Upon Both I The Congressional recess, from the 2ist of December to the 5th of January, was, we thirt, @ proceeding in behalf of calm deliberation on the part of both houses, from which tho best results may be antleipated. ‘Tho merabera have faostiy returned te their homes io apend the hotidays with their families, and among “heir friowd: and their constituents, They will ihus be, brought into contact in al! their daily asso- cistionx with thay divinely given sentiment Chrishuss day, “peace aud good will lo men. Thus even the most intractable of Northees radicals can hardly eacape the wholesome cou- tugion of this prevailitig idea ia the public mind. They will disoover that among the great hody of the Pople, of all parties, all thoughts of wraih and revenge toward the people of the talo rebellious Southern States have given way to a geveral desire for # speedy and gor- dial reconciliation, ang on the broad basia of ihe cowpleig Zeatoration of said Staies to alt the rights, powers and privileges of the always 1a}al States of the Union. This universal popula sentinea! of the eca- son, of “peace and good w@to men,” we any, will of fiseit, in the intermingling of the mem- ‘Dees of the two houses with their constituvats, be prodactive of good results in the work of Southera restoration. Bat, in connection with the actawt progress madé, and the satisfactory aad encouraging resulls achieved by President Johason tu the reorganization of the late so- called “Confederate States” as loyal members of the Union under the new dispensation, it is indewd a happy circumstance that this Congres- sional recess overlaps oat Christmas sad New ¢ holidays, has the progressive stops in the way of Southera recogstraction secured by the President from tis amnesty proclamations and Provisions! Goveragrs to the re-ostablish- meat of regular Siate governments, on the basis of the sovereigniy of the Union and the aboli- tion of slavery, wili be geueroudly appreciated on all sides, and will aurely operate to strengths en him and his policy ia both branches of | Congress. ‘The impression wiil tirmly take root that hix Southern poticy, under which so much hus beeu accomplished in a few short months in the restoration of Souihera loyaliy, law aud order, may be sately snd wisely pur- sued to the epde en One of the greatest events of nodera times, and one destined to be among the most memor- able for ages !o come, in the progress of modern civilization, has come in with this holiday svasou as the distinguishing eveut of Presiden! Johnson's adminisiration. We refer to the official proclamation of the Secretary of Biale of ihg abolition of slavery Gow any fore oe soph Fito oy Sor evermore throughout the length and breadih of the Union, with the ratification by the required three-fourihs of all the States of the coasti- tational amendment on that subject, The honors of this great achievement in behai! of the future dignity, cousiviency, prosperiiy, peace and harmony of these Unibed States must be divided above all olber mea betw President Linc and (vesideat Johngon—to the one for the isitiation of tae measure, aad to the other for ity Consummation. Li has been accomplished through President Johasoa's Southern restoration policy, and in this great, measure thus perfected he subsinntially binds the two houses of Congress to the ratification of his policy. 11 is somewhat ftemarkable, too, that this one idea, the extinction of slavery, upon which the radical abolitioniste cunieinto existence, and upon which lay purrsued:-the: dlavery agitation’ to the dosiruciion of parties and’ the ésirangement.of sections, even to the. fearful extremity of civil war, should ablasi be successfully asett by » conser vative-sadpginistra- tion as @ check agains! (hia calfcal fagtion, We are sanguine fn ihe impression that the members of Congress, for even this short-recess of two weeks, will return to business from their friends and constituents in a good frame of mind for a magianimous co-operation with President Joduson in his programme of South- era reconstruction, We believe that they will be considerably enlightened meautime in reference to the prevailing public sentiment of the North; that they will find ont that this public sentiment isia tavor of magnanimity and confideace towards the Southern States, and that the only way to establish @ aew com- pact between the States and the general gov- ernment, tully adapted to our future barmony under the new order of things, is through amendments to the federal constitution, as tu the abolition of slavery. Tast, though pot least, in the good effects of this Congressional recess, we believe that it will result in cou- vincing tho party in power that tn order to mainiaia itself before the peopie it must adhere w.the administration. Vormen Spixs Auona Us.-—We pablished in yeaterday’s Huratm an account of the testi mouy of @ foreign spy or ivformer, why had been residing in thie city, taken before » iritiah magistrate. It appears. that the tn- former was a German by birth, who bad be- come, or was preparing to become, an Ameri- can citizea by naturalization, but that moat of the time he was the secrot emissary of the British iv New York, and was prying about the Fenian organization here to elicit information to be used againat individual wem- bers of the same in Ireland. Among the most despicable creatures in any community is the hireling spy or informer. No class of society, no political organization, no private or social gathering is secure from the presence of these pests, if their existence be once tolerated. Bat in the case of this informer the offence fs one of peculiar enormity. Here we find s foreignor, protending a desire to become an American citizen, making use of bis privi- lege as such to ferret out the secrets of an io- stitution whieh is bolleved to be republican in Ita objects, for the purpose of convoying bis informayon 19, & ferelcn mopsschioal Pawer. to be followed by the hanging or banishment of suspected republicans, alleged subjects of that Power, A creature like this had better be without @ nationality. He is disgrace to aay country, and especially to one whose hos- pitality be a0 grossly violates, We hope the British Consul here wilt be able to wash his hands of bis connection with this dirty busi- ness, or our people will be obliged not only to look into this case more deeply, but exam- ine into the apy madhinery in operation at the conaulates of other monarchies represented in thia country.

So far aa heard from these fears were unnecessary; the demonstrations as reported seem to have been very amall affairs, If, aw the news comes of how Obristmas was kept all over the Southern .Staies, ib shall cosemble this nows already raeeived, thea ihe alarm that has been craated: will soon disappear. : fn Generat Grant’s report there was a racont- mendgtion hat negro troops should uot be employed ‘im the Southern States, ‘and’ @ suggestion that if they wore go employéd ft shonid he in bodies sufficiont for selt- provection, That soldier ‘saw what ideas the presence of such soldier had already The started among the negroes, aad he also saw = that tho = passions «ofthe worat part of the white population were ready to burst into violence as occasion might arise. Indeed, it has been generally recoguized as only notucal that an almost savage ill will should existe « wide exient belween the pegroes and air late masters, Ont of this staie of feeling the fara, already mentioned, arose. ‘On both hands the sende of injucy is tn- tense, and the thoughts that aciae from it equaliy bitter. The negroes have had their heads filled with the craziest nonsense by the radical doctrines preached in all sorts of way: aud ave beca directly taught t all the property of Wieie former masters was theirs. ‘Thoy fancy, it seems, that their former owners ave the oaly obstacle new to the coming of a generat jubilee s and instead of enjoying that jubilee they tind themselves compelled to work harder than ever oe go hungry. ‘Tho white meu ou their part ave as unreasonable aa the negroes, They have uadoudiedly shown many instances a malignant littleness of spiri! agalnst the vegroes, and have tried ih all ways io keep from them the futl enjoyment of ihe righty the counicy fas given.

A ‘Tre Ravicars Arrackine Generas. Geanr.—It has been evident fora long while that the radi- cal theorivta of the republican party have no very great admiration of reapect for the great- oat of practical patriots, Lieutenant General Grant. Again and again thoy have attempted to use him as a political tool, and the failure of these efforts seems to have aggravated them against him, But the report of the condition of the Southern States, which was sent in to the Senate with the President’s special message, has completed the discomfture of the radicals and caused them to hate General Grant as heurtily as they once professed to exieem him. ‘That mean fellow, Dana, only reprosenis the real sentiments of the radical leadéts in the dastardly paragraphs, printed in his Chicago sheet, abasing our greatest genoral and the greatest general the world ever saw. The radicals have apparently come to the conciu- sion to resist the motion to revive the rank of General in our army, and they do this in order to revenge themselves upon Grant for ble re- cont report.
