Within three months from the opening of the approaching seasion at Washington the Thirty- ninth Congress will cease to exist. That short space of a quarter of a year is all the time that is left for the transaction of the important business of legislation ; and we hope it will be time well spent. There is much to be done. Our foreign policy is to be shaped and decided on. If we are to insist on » due. measure. of reparation for the piracies committed on our commerce during the late rebellion by British cruisers, under the confederate flag, Congress is the body to give voice and effect to the national sentiment on that subject. If it be deemed expedicnt to relax our neutrality laws 60 aa to give s fair opportunity to the Fenian movement, that ought to be done before the last day of 1866. If we are to assume the management of Mexican affairs after the abdi- cation of Maximilian and to put an end to the chronic condition of anarchy in that country, @ well devised system of government must be agreed on by Congress and put in execution by the President. The settlement of these and other important questions will occupy much of the time and call into play all the judgment of Congress. But equally serions and difficult questions of internal policy will demand attention, We leave out of consideration the reconstruction or restoration of the Southern States, Con- gress has already disposed of that subject. It the Southern States do oot think proper to ac- cept the terms proposed they may continue in their present abnormal condition. It will do no harm, perbaps, to try the experiment of how States can get on without forming any part of the federal system exccpt so far as being subject to the fiscal and other general laws of Congress. The States of the defunct confederacy (with the exception of Tennessee, which has gone through the form of recon- struction) seem inclined to try that experiment; and we have no objection to theirdoing so. We hope Mr. Johnson will resign himself to the laissez faire philosophy and have no more unseemly and unprofitable controversy with Cengresa, But, in the meantime, other problems in legislation have to be studied and if possible, solved. The tariff has to be revised, not as the House of Representatives undertook to Tevise it last session, by increasing the rates to such degrees as to prohibit the importation of all foreign manufactures, but rather by dimin- ishing the present exorbitant .rates in propor- tion to the reduction of internal revenue duties which went into operation on the Ist of August last. The American people seem to favor # moderate system of protection to home products, but cannot be in favor of such ¢ prohibitory tariff as would leave the market entirely in the hands of New England manufacturers. At present consumers have to pay, on an average, double the prices that ruled some years ago ; and, In fact, so far has the policy of protection been carried that American products are shipped to Enrope and sold in the European markets at lower rates than are eharged for them in this city. Our tariff laws requife such a wholesome revision a3 will admit some competition at least from foreign producers and give us a chance of buying goods at less than two or three times their fair value.

General Grant was in Baltimore yesterday, bat returned gest and as the necessities of the people demand? We hope it is not and that this will be done. Our financial condition is closely connected with our systems of internal revenue and Custom House duties; and the measures that will straighten up our monetary difficulties and re- store the currency of the country to something approaching its nominal value, will at the game time, tend ta lighten, in a proportionate degree the heavy burdens imposed upon im- ported merchandise. With gotd ranging at a premium of fifty per cent and with high im- port duties, payuble in specie, our manufac- turers have, in the high price of gold alone, an average protection of fully one hundred per cent; but the tariff entirely ignores that fact and is framed as if foram normal condition of things, where a dollar in currency means a dollar in specie, If that normal condition of things were restored, that additional charge of one hundred per cent on foreign goods would be removed and domestic manufacturers would | still have 4 fair measure of protection for therr products. The people, however, would then be justified in expecting a very material diminn- tion in the cost of what they consume. It is for Congress to produce tliat result by devising, maturing and pulling into operation a sysiem of finance that will place the currency of the country on a specie basis.

Tas Reorsrer’s Ornce Tae Reat Isson Wire Tas “Riwo.”—Every voter—democratic and republican—who desires to break up the power of the notorious Corporation “ring” in the city government has an opportunity to do so by voting for General Charles G, Halpine—the well known “Miles O’Reilly”—for Register, In opposition to John McCool. In these nomina- tions a direct issue is made between the close Corporation “ring,” who have used and abused the city government for the past ten years, and their opponents, Both General Ial- pine and Jobn McCool are democratic nomi- nees, The former has been put into the field | by those democrats who believe that their party consists of something more thin Comp- troller Brennan, Street Commissioner Cornell and the Aldermanic and Couacilmanic “rings.” He is endorsed by republicans and all friends of an independent and honest municipal gov- ernment. John McCool, on the other hand, is the candidate of the Street Commissioner's and Comptroller’s “ring,” and is put torward by them, not as their own man, but as the repre- sentative of the bargain made by them with Fernando Wood, by which they hope to secure the success of Mr. Brennan and bis subordinate Aldermen and Councilmen in December. The other candidates on the county ticket do not enter into the fight Recorder Hackett and Sur- rogate Tucker are independent men and good officers, and are only nominated by the “ring” to give respectability and strength to their ticket, But John McCool, a sort of sub-tenant to Fernando Wood in the offico of Register, represents the bargain between the Woods ana the “ring” in the charter election. The success, of McCool now implies the election of Comp- troller Brennan and the “ring” Aldermen and Councilmen in December. The defeat of McCool now will break up the arrangement for Decem- ber, as Fernando will be left out in the cold and will demand other terms from the “ring.” The Brennan men have taken the contract not only to nominate but to elect McCool, and if they fail in the mos! material part of their bar- gain the December arrangement will be broken wu Thet the democratic friends of “Miles O'Reilly” stard fast by him and he will ‘be elected; for all the republican and independent voters will support him at the polls. He has everything in h's favor. He was making charges on the rebels while McCool was making charges in his office. He was leading divisions in the field while McCool was makingsdivisions with Fer- nando Wood at home, We recommend all men to vote for General Halnine and to secure, by the defeat of McCool,'the breaking up of the corrupt bargain by which the “ring” hope to secure the re-clection of Comptroller Brennan in December, and an extension for another two years of their ill-used power in the city gov- ernment. Ayorare Evrorgsn Disowim ov Wiuxrs Boora.—The Emperor of Ausitis, it appears, as he was leaving the theatre in the old his- torical city of Prague, on Saturday evening last, narrowly escaped assassination. The culprit had aimed his pistol, but before he could discharge it he was seized by a lucky Englishman and put under arrest. This would- be assassin was a blundering advefiturer in not long ago attempted the life of Count Bis- marck, or like the stupid and awkward barba- rian who more recently aimed at the life of the Emperor of Russia, Each of these monoma- niaca was doubtless inspired by the success of Wilkes Booth in the murder of President Lin- coln to attempt a similar exploit, and in order that, like Booth’s, their names might live in history. But these disciples of the secessful American assassin forgot that Booth had been studying and playing such characters as Bru- tas and Macbeth all his life ; that he had been schooled among the bloody rebel elements of Baltimore ; that by long training, numer- ous rehearsals, systematic arrangements and the paticnt study of all the details and re- quirements of his case, he was enabled to rolect his time, place aud plan for the murder of his chosen victim and for his own immedi- nte escape. Booth’s achievements embraced. ull the essential considerations of a carefully studied military campaign. Every step'of the ground in his advance, assault and retreat was stndied over and provided for, and but for the hooking of his boot on the United States flag ax he jamped down from the box upon the stage, whoreby he was crippled ahd delayed in hia flight, he might have escaped. It was “the old flag” that fixed him, and in the next instant after bis terrible crime. But, in addition to the oarefal preparations of Booth, his,whole na- ture, heart and mind, a« the champion of » vast conspiracy and as the star of the ap- pointed tragedy, were in bis chosen work.

It is"prob- able, however, that the demand for further delay in the sacrifice of these men was ina great measure acceded to by the Canadian Chief Justice because it may not be advisable nor quite safe, in the present excited condition of the public mind upon this subject, to add more victims to the two already under sentence of death, Mr. McKenzie, in asking for the post- ponement of the trials of the other prisoners, took occasion to thank the Nsw Yorx Henatp for the friendly advice we offered to the Cana- dian government in the matter of these Fenian prosecutions. We repeat that advice and warn-: ing now. If the sentence of the newspaper correspondent and Catholic clergyman is car- ried out, there is no power in this country that will prevent a disastrous raid ‘on Canada, car- rying death and conflagration in its track. There will, be fearful reprsals for the lives of these men “if they are executed. Nor will the work of vengeance be confined to the Fenians. The American mini is excited to a consider- ably high pitch on the subject—remembering the infamous conduct of the Canadian authori- ties and people toward the Northern States doring the war. There is a general opinion prevailing among all classes that the condemned men had not a fair trial and that the offence with which they were charged, even if they were properly convicted, does not merit the Under all these circum- stances our advice alluded to by the counsel for the prisoners had be‘tor be accepted by the Canadian governmont, if they would save the colony from the effects of a terrible retribu- tion.

The audience was not m0 large as he morited, mor as we had expected to see, being materially less than on either of the previous nights when he tmpersonated the character. Dawison was not ia such good voice, nor did he display, we thought, yp same power ason tho Srst evening of the Production of the tragedy.

Other members of the company seem to imitate his seven jenaes boots style; and the effect of this measuring of li agaoust space is far from pleasant. The it custom Prevails at this, theatre of firet applauding and then of the applause by a loud hiss is Itabie to be misundewstood by persons not natives to any.
