ADJOURNMENT OF CoNnGress. —Different cu mors come from Washington about the ad- journment of Congress. Al one tiie it is said that body will adjourn this week, and Friday next has been named as the duy. Then again it is said the adjournment will certainly take place some time next week. No doubt mem- bers want to go home, and there is a general desire to adjourn, Looking at this fact, and in view of the probable passage of the Ku Klox bill and a few other bills that may be meoessary during this week, we think it likely the session may not be prolonged beyoad the 20h of the month. Tux Germans is Bavrimone celebrated the return of peace at home in a spirited manner. They vied with their New York brethren in doing hovor to the aarasion. Connnission is, ‘The Great German Peace Jubilee—The New Germen Power in Both Hemispheres. The greatest, the grandest, the most impos- ing and the most impressive civic pageant ever witnessed in this city or on this Continent was that of our German population yesterday, which, in every sense, is fully entitled to the distinguishing designation of our Great Ger- man Peace Jubilee. Within the last thirty odd years we have bad such memorable public processions as that of the Croton water cele- bration, the Kossuth welcome, the Atlantic cable celebration, the Prince of Wales’ recep- tion, the patriotic displays connected with our late civil war, and the crowning triumphs of our Union armies, the Lincoln funeral, our never-failing splendid St. Patrick's Day parades, and two wonderful fifteenth amend- ment celebrations by our fellow-citizens of African descent ; but, considering the numbers participating, the infinite variety of the mili- tary elements and of the ariistic, profes- sional, industrial, patriotic, benevolent and social societies concerned, with all their be- wildering costumes, equipments, appointments and accessories of every description, this overwhelming German turnout of yesterday, among our most memorable processious, may be truly pronounced the greatest and grandest of them all. Regarding this festival as a historical land- mark identified with the most astounding, im- portant and momentous epoch of the nine- teenth century, we devote to it this morning a large proportion of our available space. Ins deed, if there were nothing in this prodigions German demonstration beyond its surpassingly interesting composition as a holiday show, we are sure that we could give nothing more satisfactory to our readers of all nation- alities than the full details concerning it which we spread before them in this paper. But, in connection with the peace restored between France and Germany as the object and the moral of this celebration, it brings us face to face with an event involving the politi- cal reconstruction of Europe and the opening of a new chapter in the world’s history which, in the movements of modern civiliza- tion, peace or war, brings Germany and the Germans into the foreground, First of all, by our Germans this peace jubilee has been given in honor of the restoration of German unity— the reunion of the great German family of States and Principalities in the re. blished and invincible confederation of the German empire. This empire, as first established under Charlemagne, covered all the European Continent that he desired ; but, though geo- grapeically much sma!ter, the restored empire, materially and morally, is much stronger to- day than was the empire of Charlemagne. Napoleon the First found the Germans still holding fast to the traditions, shadows and sou- venirs of this empire, though in reality he found nothing else of it remaining. He broke into its traditions; he appropriated all that he wanted in his Franco-Germen confsderation ofthe Rhine; and wiih his final subjugation the Hoiy Alliance, in reconstructing the map of Eu left the floating German States and Principalities so inexplicably mixed ap or divided as io leave the balance of power among them subject to the will of Austria, Prussia or France, as war and diplomacy might determine. Fifty-five years after this loose arrangement, or, rather, derangement of Ger- many by the Holy Alliance, Napoleon the Third undertakes to play the game and restore the French empire of Napoleon the First in “the rectification of the Rhine frontier.” The “nephew of his uncle,” in his apology for his erushing disaster of Sedan, has confessed that | in the plan of his proposed campaign to berlin he had counted upon entting off the South German States from Prussia and the Northern Confederation gathered around her from the war of 1866 with Austria; and by cutting off those Southern States he had counted at least upon their neutrality. Napoleon, the nephew, however, had over- looked the allimportant fact that, however divided they had been and were upon local questions, and as between Prussia and Austria, all the German States had been made by the terrible lessons of Napoleon, the uncle, a unit against France, and a unit for the defence, the maintenance and enlargement of the German Rhine. So it was that when, with the advance of his armies toward the Rhine, the nephew issued his proclamations of good intentions to the South German States, | he found them already in arms against him, under the common German Rhine-defending } banner of King William. The peace of Ver- Bailles finds the German Rhine not only | untonehed, but enlarged on the left bank from Weisseabourg up to Switzerland; not only that Napoleon’ reversed, but that it includes the restoration to Germany of the territorial seizures of Louis XIV., and of those commanding frontier fortresses which France for two bundre had been strengthening for aggressive war upon Germany and in view of further appro- priations of German territory. These, then, are the grand resulta to many which were reflected in the musie, ban- ners, pictures and devices of yesterday's peace jubilee in this city—-the military unity of Ger- many in the war, the political unity of Ger- many brought about by the war, the estab- lished aniiy of Germany in the treaty of peace, the restoration to Germany of her old strong city of Strasbourg and her old territories of Alsace and Lorraine, the gain of the com- manding fortress of Metz, tue material guar- antee of future security to Germany in the possession of Strasbourg and Metz against future French invasions, the general exemp- tion of Germany in the late tremendons con- filet from the horrors of war upon her own soil, and, above all, security to the German States, from their unity, in the full and free development of the arts of peace, progress and domestic prosperity. The Germans of New York and of all the Union who have sworn allegiance to the United States still sympathize with the Fatber- land in all its But with all their love fur their old country, they have so far proved their loyalty to their new country that we are rather gratified than otherwise with their absolute possession and occupation of this great metropolis as Germans for one day, Nor is General Graut very wide of the mark in comparing the essential principles of popu- lar and local righta which underlie the new Germanic confederation as analagons to the principles establighed in the goveroment of the contemplated rectification has been years Ger- fortunes. United States and of the several States. If from the wars of the first Napoleon the Ger- mans have learned the necessity and the advantages of unity, and if from our example they have learned the secret of harmonizing local self-government with imperial sove- reignty, we, too, have learned from our late civil war the suicidal folly of State sovereignty, and that the preservation of the several States depends upon the sovereignty of the United States. We are strong in the opinion, too, that this German peace jubilee is the heraid of a new era of peace, progress and prosperity, not only to the new German empire, but to all the tates of Europe, great and small, We think 80, because the German is naturally inclined to peace and slow to seek a provocation for war, and because the newly developed power of Germany in war is a guarantee against any foolish aggressions upon her for years to come, from the West or the East. From this peace jubilee, and from the triumphs and the new era to the Fatherland embodied in it, we also are impressed with the new power which is given the German element in this hemi- sphere and in this country. We have seon that in yesterday's procession the Germans hold a balance of power in this city over this State, and thereby tie balance of power upon which the democratic party rely in their cal- culations of the next Presidential election. We shall not, therefore, be surprised if from this peace jubilee, through the development of the strength of the German element in this city, the powers of Tammany Hall shall be compelled to enter into some new arraug e- ments and compensations which will give to the Germans something nearer their fair share of the loaves and fishes than they now enjoy. Otherwise the republicans, throuzh this Ger- man balance of power, by a bold flank move- ment, may recover and hold the State, Paris and Frauce. The state of feeling in Paris and the other large cities, such as Lyons and Marseilles, is so different from the sentiments which prevail throughout the rural districts that most people are perplexed with the divisions and troubles of France. The popular notion is that just as an American should be an American, whether his home is in New York city or ona farm in JMinois, so a Frenchman should be devoted to his country, whether he spins silk in Lyons, sells fancy goods in Paris, or cultivates the vine in the Champagne. Admitting, as we must, that the large centres of population generate selfishness in all countries and among all peoples, it has still to be confessed that there is 4 something which divides the French of the rural districts from the French of the large cities which is not found in any other couatry or among any other people. Since the revolution of 1789 it has always been found that the large cities were in opposition to the existing government, and that the peasantry were on its side. It was so under the ancien régime; it was 80 under Lonis Philippe; it was so under Louis Na- poleon; it isso under President Thiers. It is safe to say that the large cities have made the revolutions, and that so soon as the revo- lution was over the strength of the new goy- ernment was found in the peasant classes. M. Thiers discovered this to his cost in 1848; and the one purpose io which he has revealed any- thing like commendable firmness is in keeping the National Assembly and the goverument out of Paris and away from the selfishness and tyranny of the mob. The French peasant who as a rule owns his little farm is frugal, saving, timid. In all that concerns the rights of property or the domestic duties he is tena- cious, conservative. To him change is dan- gerous; war isruin. Much as he loves France he loves his farm and his home more. It is quite otherwise with the Frenchman of the large centresof population. In the city the individual is lost in the crowd. The vanity of the one is magnified into the vanity of the many. The rights of the one disappear in the rights of the crowd, and socialism, communism is the result, Rashness takes the place of caution. The spirit of destruction leaves no room for simple personal acquisitiveness. To the multitade in Paris, in Lyons, in Marseilles proprietorship is a sin, and to level is a duty. These things considered and properly under- stood, it is not difficult to see that, if it can at all be accomplished, France would be more effectively governed from some non-populous centre than from Paris. i is well to observe that this principle has been fully recognized iu the United States and in the New Domi- nion. Washington and Ottawa justify the policy which M, Thiers is pursuing. It is doubtful whether M. Thiers will succeed. It is undeniable, however, that in nations where universal suffrage prevails the government is likely to be more safe, as well as more effi- cient and enduring, when removed from the ter- rorism inspired by a mob, Some day France must learn this lesson. Unless she learns it it is not our opinion she can ever enjoy the blessings of republican institutions. Tae Evevaanr in the German processi was the observed of all observers, Tios fators who retired to their homes private lager immediately “se this branch of the procession had an easier time of it, no doubt, thao those who waited to wee the end of the pagesut. and after Tne SivvaTioN is FRANCE.—Our reports from France are very meagre this morning, There bas not been any ore fighting, but the government forces seem lo be drawing nearer to the ramparts of Paris. A breach bas been made in Porte Maillot wide enough to admit « storming columa, and it was expected that an assault would be made to-day, The insur- gents were erecting barricades in the Rue Ri- voli, thus preparing for the probable carrying of the ramparts at Porte Maillot. This is about all the news of a military character which we have recelved up to a late bour this morning. If the insurgents display any cour- age at all, an attempt to storm the fortifications at Paria will result in » frightful loss of lif the assailants; and if good soldiers defend the works their storming would be something moat inprobable, Tr Was PLRASANY to notice that among the spectators yesterday who were most hearty in their applause of the procession as it passed were many of our fellow citizens who were conspicuous in the St. Patrick demonstration last month ‘Tho Result ef the Albany Row—Resiguation eof “Jim” Irving. “Jim” Irving last night resigned his seat as a member of the Assembly, owing to the unpleasant position in which he had placed himself by his assault upon Mr. Weed. He accompanied his resignation by a letter apolo- gizing to the House for his hasty conduct, and heartily thanking the members for their uni- form kindness and affability in all their deal- ings with him. He stated in the letter that Weed bad strnck him first, and the testi- mony taken before the committee goes partly to establish this fact. There is little doubt, however, after all the testimony should have been taken, that a resolution of expulsion would have been reported to the House and adopted. So Mr. Irving merely took time by the forelock in resigning. Some of the more incensed country members, indeed,’ insisted last evening, after his resignation had been re- ceived, that a resolution of expulsion be passed ; but it met little favor. Indeed, now that Irving bas apologized for what was without doubt a hasty ebullition of a too fiery temper, the House can do no better than to drop the subject, The effect of the resignation of Irving upon the big democratic jobs in the Legislature is of far more consequence than any question as to the right or expediency of putting him any more completely out of the House by expulsion than he is already out by resignation. The blow that he planted upon Weed’s eye has done that which the New Hamburg disaster came so near doing in Jacobs’ case, It has reduced the democrats below a working majority, and left all party legislation sus- pended between heaven and earth, like Mehomet’s coffin. That one powerful blow has knocked the new Tax Levy bill out of time, put the new registration scheme in mourning, sent the proposed election law entirely to pot and smashed Boss Tweed’s slates into smithereens. It was a most power- ful blow, and, in some respects, was undoubt- edly the luckiest hit, barring the feelings of Mr. Weed, that has been made yet. Unless some of the frailer republicans from thé country make bargains with the ‘‘Boss” his legislative whip has lost its snapper, and his projects must await a more convenient season for fruition. The Woman's Honpital Fair in Brooklyn. A very splendid fair in behalf of this institu- tion opened last night at the Academy of Music with every prospect of success. A new feature is the introduction of a remarkable electric light, altogether different from the ordinary calcium light, to illuminate the ex- terior of the building. The affair is in the hands of some of the most accomplished people in Brooklyn. The number of cases completely cured last year out of one thonsand two hundred patients was one thousand one hundred and forty—a large percentage, which speaks well for the medical treatment in prac- tice there. The amount of charity extended to poor women, and, in fact, to many who are not io need of eleemosynary services, through the medium of this institution caunot be exag- gerated, We need hardly say that much of this angelic result is due to the Sisters of Charity, under whose charge it is, and the estimable ladies who keep faithful watch and ward over the establishment, whose untiring labors help to lighten the burden of the Board of Trustees and the directing physician. We hope, therefore, that, as these benevolent ladies have done so much, the people of Brooklyn will give their patronage liberally to the fair in these blessed Easter times in be- half of suffering female humanity, and the little waifs who are cared for in the Foundling Asylum, which is under the same management. There are many reasons why this Woman’s Hospital should be liberally sustained. It is the only institution in Brooklyn devoted to the specialty of woman's diseases, and, indeed, we believe the only one in the country, except the State Woman’s Hospital, on Madison ave - nue and Forty-ninth street, in this city. Again, it is well known that such peculiar cases of which the hospital takes charge will not apply to institutions taking cognizance of other diseases in general; and lastly, the treatment of diseases peculiar to women being one ofthe most important of recognized special- ties in medicine, can be carried out success- fully only by practitioners who have given the subject more than ordinary attention. We hope, for these reasons, and in the name of charity, that the fair for the Brooklyn Woman’s Hospital, which is now open, and will continue for weeks to Inay prove a suecess. two come, Spsorators Farep vo Notiok in the demonstration yesterday aoything like that witnessed in the St. Patrick ovation, to wit, an army of little boys bearing the banners of “Total abstinence.” Bat “is lager beer intoxi- eating 2?” Tne Parts Coxmenisrs Cavina Ix.—By telegram that the Commune has made an indirect demand that the foreign representatives in Paris take upon themselves the task of arranging the quarrel with the Versailles government. his looks as if the insurgents had nearly exhansted their strength, and, perceiving the collapse of their reign near at hand, were snxions to get the best terms possible from the government, The representatives to whom they appealed to intercede for them are reluctant to take upon themselves the grave responsibility of such an undertaking, settled by the voverament at Versailles, we learn Aveains IN JAMAtOA,—By special telegram to the Hezatp from Kingston we learn that the British Flying Squadrou was off the port bound into Port Royal, where it would remain afortnight.

According to the despatches which we publish from Scranton to-day there have, been no disturbances for two days past. Major Swank, with two hundred of the State Guard, remains on duty, but the rest of the division has been sent home, Although no intelli- gence has been received at Scranton of work having been resumed it is now more than probable that, ere long, everything will quietly return to a normal condition, From Mauch Chunk we are advised that the General Council of the miners met yesterday ‘‘for the purpose of deciding the question of arbitra- tion and expressing the real significance of the recent reported outrages, with the names of those they claim to be the authors thereof.” The Luzerne miners have already voted in their several districts on the question of arbi- tration and have decided against it. The Schuylkill miners, although they have not yet had a formal vote on the question, are under- stood to be generally in favor of arbitration. The only difficulty seems to be iu the selection of an umpire who shall be acceptable to both miners and operators. The unofficial sugges- tion of the names of James Gordon Bennett and Wendell Phillips as umpires indicates at least the confidence of all concerned in their recognized impartiality in advocating the mutual interests of labor and capital. We are glad, but not surprised, to learn that the reported outrages at Scranton have dwindled into comparative insignificance. The Miners’ Council propose to ventilate the affair from beginning to end, and wisely evince a due respect for the public by having resolved that a Henatp reporter shall be admitted to their meeting to-day. The public is deeply and universally interested in a satisfactory settle- meat of all the difficulties which interfere with their obtaining at a reasonable price so essen- tial an article in domestic economy as coal. And now that these difficulties seem to be approaching a desirable end—thanks to the prompt and enerzetic intervention of Governor Geary and the returning good sense and moderation of both miners and operators—it may be expected that not only the anticipa- tions of some of our shrewdest and most influential speculators will be realized—for example, as to the rise, already noticeable, in Reading stock—but also that householders everywhere may congratulate each other on an equally inevitable fall in the price of coal. Such a fall, indeed, it does not seem rash to predict in the midst of an unprecedented ‘“‘heated term,” with the thermometer up towards the nineties all over the country, The Theatres. The novelties of Easter week will be Mr. Mathews’ reappearance at the Fifth Avenue theatre in ‘‘Married for Money” and ‘Patter vs. Clatter,” the two pieces in which he first appeared in New York at the old Broadway theatre thirteen years ago; the first appear- ance of Mr. William Creswick, at the Four- teenth Street theatre, in Watts Phillips’ melo- drama of *‘Nobody’s Child”—and here we must add parenthstically that if Mr. Creswick is said to be ‘‘an actor of the old school” it is because he is truly a pupil of the old school of Dame Nature ; the first appearance at Niblo’s of Mr. Bennett as Richard IL, with extraordinary spectacular accessories, and the first appear- ance of Mile. Aimée in ‘‘La Belle Héléne,” on occasion of her benefit, at the Grand Opera House, on Thursday evening. Last evening Mille. Aimée enchanted an unusually large audience at her first appearance as “La Pt chole,” and this evening she will personate for the last time ‘‘La Grande Duchesse.” *‘Hori- zon,” with judicious ‘‘cuttings” will con- tinue for many weeks to be the card at the Olympic. At Wallack’s ‘Romance and Reality” was repeated most acceptably last evening. ‘The Heir at Law” is announced for this evening, ‘‘Birth” for to-morrow even- ing, and for Thursday, for the first time, ‘The Liar,” Foote’s great comedy. ‘‘Rosedale” is to be revived and a new play, “Randall's in preparation at Wallack’s. This is the last week of the New York Circus and also of the Lingards at Lina Edwin's theatre, where next week Mr. Da Leon's new piece, “Piuck”—the scenes of which are laid in the coal districts of Pennsylvania, and, therefore, offer all the intense interest of actuatiti—will be produced, with the realistic sensation of a coal mine explosion. The minor theatres hold forth their usual variety of attractions. Usrrep GrtMany was duly honored in Wall street. and on ‘Change generally yesterday. The Cotton Exchange adjourned at noon and the Gold Board at one o'clock. After the lat- ter hour it was difficult to discover a Teuton anywhere south of the City Hall, Morr PrecEMEAY. AMNesty.—The new Amnesty bill proposed by Mr. Hale in the House yesterday, and passed under the pre- vious question by a vole of one hundred and thirty-four to forty-six, more than the requi- site two-thirds, freely pardons all engaged in the rebellion, except those who left seats in Congress or resigned commissions in the army or navy to assist the rebellion and those who voted for the ordinances of secession in the State Conventions. This is a more generous amnesty than has hitherto been considered possible of passage, and it may not be enabled to go through the Senate. It does not serve the best ends of an amnesty, being partial and incomplete, and, while it gives political privileges to many bitter opponents of the republican party, it leaves sufficient stiag of wrong in the disfranchisement of the leading rebels to serve as political capital for the de- mocracy. A full and generous amnesty would have drawn the fangs of the serpent of disaffection in the South, and probably proven a more efficient anti-Ku Klux bill than the bill of Mr. Shellabarger just passed in the House, Tur German Fawr were bloomiugly repre- We don't hear much about the fair ia behalf of wretched France nowadays ; hut the old misery still exists there, and in a tenfold and more fright- ful shape than ever.

In this city to have the thermometer ranging from eighty to eighty-fve degrees for three days In succession (April 8, 9, 10) is like springing the July or eummer solstice upon us at the very outset of the showery month of April, Two or three cases of sunstroke have been reported. As far east as Bangor, Maine, the hot weather was accompanied by » storm of thunder and lightning, which did much damage. In $pringfield, Mags. (April 8), the thermometer marked eighty- eight, and on the 9ta nearly as high—unpre- cedented in April. In Poughkeepsie, thia State, the thermometer marked eighty-four and eighty-six, the ‘‘sky having a brassy, dry appearance.” In Albany, 8th, the meroary marked one hundred in the shade. In Phila- delphia, on the 9th, it reached eighty-one. In the evening there was a brilliant display of the aurora borealis in Philadelphia, equalling that observed in the fall of the year. A similar phenomenon was witnessed in Mil- waukee, Wis. In Washington the thermome~ ter ranged from eighty-two to eighty-four. Tn the West—particularly in Missouri, Kansas, fowa and Nebraska—a most terrific wind- storm occurred, unroofing churches, blowing down dwellings, demolishing mills and occasioning loss of life, the thermometer marking about ninety. In the mountains and Upper Platte Valley a snowstorm prevailed. In California, on the 9th, a “Norther” had been prevailing for a weck, and there had been roush weather all along the Pacific coast. The reasons for these extraordinary meteoro- logical displays at this season of the year might furnish material for learned disquisitions from our scientific and weather-wise people. Io this region the unseasonably hot weather has been ascribed to various, causes. Among them it has been suggested that, in conse- quence of the recent religious revivals, the “other place” has become overheated with indignation, and is about to exhibit its wrath in the shape of an earthquake on Manhattan Island—a pleasant little natural manifestation that has been more than once predicted. Be that as it may, it is evident that New York city is already getting rather too hot for some people, and they are already making prepara- tions for their annua! adjournment to the sea~ side and country places. As for an earth- quake, it would have the effect of shaking up some of our slothfal folk on the subject of religion, and thereby be calculated to do heaps of good, There was a tremendous upheaval of the Teutonic element in New York yester- day, which only a “right smart” earthquake could equal Tue Orricer on Horsepack who was 86 unlucky in the procession yesterday as ‘to lay his sword at the feet of” the colored water purveyor was only czrrying out one of the embleins on the route of the procession which represented the ex-Emperor Napoleon per- forming the same act to the Emperor William. It was the only thing in questionable taste to be observed on the entire line.
