The House, we understand, will take up the Taritf Dili early this week; and we beg the friends of Protection to Home Industry not to let it be pushed aside until the differences between the Senate and House shall have been adjusted and the bill finally passed. The Ses- sion is already in ils last quarter; the daily bread of many thousands of our countrymen and women depends on the passage of that bill. Furnace-fires goue or going out, mill- wheels already or soon to be stopped, implore the electric impulse which the passage of that bill will give. Do not, then, biggle too tena- ciously about details, but lot these be settled by fair and full votes, and then put the Dbill through. We shall owe Europe One Hundred Millions less next January, and One Billion less ten years hence, if that Dbill becomes a law. Strengthen the arms {hat strike for National prosperity and true independence! The Nebraska bill was on Saturday, in the House, passed over the President’s veto, having previously passed the Senate. Nebraska is now virtually admitted to the family of the Union. It must comply with certain conditions pre- cedent to admission, and touching impartial suffrage, but in these it will undoubtedly acquiesce. The nation may, thecefore, rejoice in the acquisition of the new State, whose history we give clsewhere. The testimony against the ferries is cumu- lative, and if the ferry companies can carry one half of it with a good conscience, they will probably do Dbetier than they generally do with passengers. About a seore of witnesses were heard at Saturday's sitting of the Committee, and the evidence thus far is as strongly against the ferties as was the late ice-blockade. The Kentucky Legislaturo in 1861 and 1863 demanded a National Convention to vevise the Constitution, and will probably renew the demand this session.

The power of Congress to decide the question is denied. The Kentucky Demo- erals believe that the Southern State Govein- { monts are “‘just whiat they have been for “pinety years.” This is certainly a bad reason for maintaining them. The Seuate on Saturday passed a motion to a vole of 22 to insure the passage of the bill it it is pressed to a vote. But Me Wilson, who is opposed to the measure in its present shape, caused it to be postponed. The friends of the bill in the Senate should insist on speedy action wpon this measure, which would give new life to Lhe business of the country. Dut few days of the session remain in which the bill can be passed and sent to the House for conenrrence in the amendments. We earnestly desire that it should be mad , and not postponed till the XLih The expedition which some time ago was un dertaken for making a survey of a route across the Isthmus of Darien suited to the making of a ship-canal beiween the two oceans, has for the prescut been abandoned, owing to a misunder- nding bet n Mr. de Gogorza, who have a snitable route, and Mr. Spooner, the agent employed by the persons who were treating with Gogorza on the subject. It is thought, however, that the suceess of the undertaking is only a question of time. In the meanwhile the Govern- ment of Costa Rica has concluded a contract for s Lo | another railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with an American company, of which John C. Iremont aud Senator Nye are leading mem- beos. ———— s Street Department Report, of which we full synopsis on the second page, re required for lighting this City this year, includ- ing ecrtain arrcar of 1865 and 1866, is esti- ated at the sum of $1,086,995, by many thou- sands too much for a work which the City itself could undeirtake at far less cost. » thinks Mr. Chatlock, Superintendent of Lamps and Gas, and the figures which he brings to sup- port his position are interesting. The average price of the stock of the gas companies is about £200, while $50 and $45 per annam are charged for lighting lamps, the same service being done for private eonsumers at 83 50. To make mat- ters worse, whole streets are frequently left in darkness, and the City is, in fact, at the mercy of its gas contractor Mr. Bauks well said, in his speech in the House on Saturday, that “the hope of recon- “struction of this country, and the restoration “of republican government throughout the “land, is in the masses of the people—the un- ducated, the poor, the powerless people of “the Rebel States” Nothing can be more true than that “if there is anything to fear from any “portion of the people, it is" from the im- “placable enomies who are wedded to the the influential fow Who organized ,the rebellion by aweing the many who from the first opposed it. We may disfranchise. the planter; but it will useless unless we en- franchise his slavés. Yet, before this ean be done the Rebel despotisms at the Sonth must be swept away. This Mr. Stevens's bill would “do ; and whatever merit Mr. Banks's plan for a Louistina Commission may have, it cannot supply the demand for legislation comprehen- sive enough and energetic enongh to give pro- tection to the “uneducated, the poor, the “powerless,” who suffer at this moment all the outrages which the unchecked tyrauny of & Dbrutal oligarchy can inflict. LIGHT AHEAD! Saturday's sayings and doings in the ITouse revive and strengthen our hopes that the XXXIXth Congress will not disperse without having acted fully, decisively, on the absorb- ing subject of Reconstruction. The speeches of Messrs. Banks, Raymond and others, fully justify the inference that the President is now ready te meet Congress at least half-way, and that a desire to act decisively and comprehen- sively is rapidly gaining the ascendant in Con- gress, Wo do not confidently assert that the Presi- dent is yet ready to unite with Congress in giving effect to such a measure of Reconstruc- tion as ought to be framed and enacted ; we do gay it is the duty of Congress to frame and pass such a measure, whether it shall or shall not be signed and executed, Even though it wore certain to be vetoed and killed, such a measure should Do passed, having first beon _rendered as unobjectionable as may be. There noed be no surrender of principle; there must, at all hazards, be protection &e- cured to (he loyal inhabitants, White or Black, of the South; and we strongly feel that now is the time to perfect and passa bill under which the States now unrepresented in Congress shall be reconstrueted on a just and’ loyal basie, under conditions that secure to all (heir inhabitants their just and equal rights. Thus far, we believe ¢ ure of Recon- struetion emanating from the majority in Con- gress has commanded our support, though none of them has been all we could have wished it. Neither of Mr Stevens’s two Dbills of this session — one providing for the re- habilitation of the disorganized States; the other for the proteetion of their loyal people— was preaisely to our mind; yet we have sup- ported. them aa steps toward the desired end, and, at the worst, better than nothing. Far better that Congress should fail in an effort at Reconstruction than that it should fail to make the effort. We entreat the responsible majority in either House not to tho session without having passed a Reconstruetion Dbill that ought to be accepted, and which pro- vides for Do uot “[t will do no good,” but fry. e —— DEMOCRATIC JOURNALISA. We think it will be generally agieed that the Democratic party has not been fortunate in its journals, especially in this City, Even in ils palmy days, it owed so litile (o their championship that a leader of the party was justified in declaring that it could get on het- ter without than with newsp: support.

Radicalism, in%its view, is a cloak worn by #pecions hypoerites to cover the insertion of their rvight hands into other men’s pockets.

THE ARCHITECTS AND THIE COMMISSIONERS, The Commissioners appointed to make ar- rangements for the erection of a new Post- Office in this city have profited by the experience of the General Government in the matter of the proposed building for the War Department, and by the similar experience of tho State of New-York in its attempts to get a design for the new Capitol at Albany. Both the Federal and the State authorities found that no-architect of any ability or stand- ing in his profession would so much as con- sider the terms of their advertisements, both of which, although differing in form, were identical in spirit, and were based on the assumption that our architects are not in such a condition, as respects employ- ment or pay, that they can afford to reject any chance of adding a few hundred dollars to their meager incomes; and that they would be only too glad to compete, on any terms that might be offered them, for any prize, however small. Although these gentlemen at Washington and Albany proved to be very much out in their caleulation, it will not do to forget that the con- dition of architecture in this conntry has changed. Perhaps they could not be expected to know all that had been done in architecture within the last few years, nor could they be blimed for not being aware that the standards of the profession are much higher now than they were ten years ago, and that it contains a small but steadily increasing body of men whose attainments would be recognized as considerable even in older and more exacting POST-OFIICE class of topics which form the staplo of public dwcuasion ; ut, a8 the mass of nowspaper readors who ueed instruc- tion are nolther philosophers nor statesmon, it is neces- 0 uso a litthe yeast.

Popular excilement in respect to an extension of the franchise to the laboring classes is at fever hight. On this subjeet the people manifest an camnestness and o determination which cannot possibly be mistaken by their mftrs. They will have the political rights so long and so unjustly withheld from them by a proud and oMish oligarchy, and the resolute Yones in ich they now de i those rights show that are in no mood to be trifled with, Never ince the memorable period immediately ante- cedent to the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832, when revolution was imumi- | nent, hLas the popular mind in En- eland been so profoundly moved, as at present. But purely political troubles are not the only threatening clonds on the horizon. Thee is the' serious confliet which has arisen between the employers of labor and the work- ter, to an orgaunization for self-defense and sell-protection, having ils ramifications in every part of the Kingdom, and whi silently wing and working for some time past, already makes itself felt as the embodiment of a mighty power. There is also the sad condition of the poor in Loudon and the other large cities and towus, the miseries of whose pitia- ble indigenee has boen wofully aggravated by the unusual severity of the present Winter, and the want of employment for large num- bers of operatives now on the verge of starv. tion. And last, there are the troubles in Ire- land, where a crnelly unjust system of land tonure, and an Eeclesiastical establishment obnoxions to the great bulk of the population, by producing in the minds of the people a rankling sense of injustice, and breeding a wide-sp disaffection, have made rebellion an ever- present danger, These are some of the sub- Jjeets demanding the attention of the DBritish Pardiament, and with which the classes now in | power will be compelled to deal—and that not as the snbject of Parlinméntary Reform was dealt with in the last session. We altogether mistake the present temper of the masses in and if they this time allow tbe Lowes and the Elchos of the Commons, and the fossil re- actionists who abound in the Honse of Lords, 1o dispose of their claims by sneers at their ignorance and vepality, and (o meet their just demands by unjast reproaches and cinel taunts, The question arises—and it is one of the high- st interest, not only to the people of England | themselves, but to the friends of popular free- dom and constitutional government in other countries—how will the Derby Ministry and the Tory party act under the ? will irenmstances? they gracefully yield to the popular pressure in the matter of reform? And will they honestly | grapple with the social anestions demanding adjustment in the interests of the masses of the operatives of England, of the tenant | farmers and Roman - Cathelics of Irveland, of the pauperized and famishing muliitades with | which the great centers of population in En- gland gqre overcrowded? So far asthe Minist itself is coneerned, the programme for the se sion, outlined in the Queen’s speech, may be aceepled furnishing a metty hopeful | a8 answer. Not to speak of the very uator desive on the part of Lord Derby to®re- tain power, there is a liberal element ingmen, and which has led, on the part of the | eration. communities. It takes time for growth in special direction, as*in the arts, specially to make itself fel by those mnot interested in watching it; for the reason, among others, that by its very nature this growth is in itself imperceptibly low, and works in by-ways, and deals with matters not directly related, or not seen to be so related, to our material life. In this matter of archi re, there are those who knew that our architects were growing, as in- dividuals, and as a society, but perhaps many of us were a8 smprised as the Commissioners, at the evidence of the fact contained in the spirited and sensible protests of the architects against the action of these well-meaning but mistaken gentlemen. Therefore, when we say that the Commis- sioners of the new Post-Office have evidently Jearned something from the ill-success of the commissioners from the War Department office and the State Capitol, we do not mean to reflect upon these latter gentlemen, nor to intimate that they have shown less intelligence than the others. They simply made a serious mistake, for which there is great excuse in the condi- tion of architecture, and the uncertain, ill- defined position of architeets in this country, Until very recently architecture has been in a sot of epicene condition—being neither an honest eraft like that of carpentery or masenry, nor yet a Fine Art; and our architects have been a kind of bastard builders, without the technical knowledge of those call- ing themselves such, or the learning, taste, and ereative power that alone entitle them to a bligher name and greater eonsid- Angl, counsidering what Wash- ington is, afd what the public men of Washington have shown themselves to be, whenever they have been called upon to act with reference to Art; considering, also, what manner of men our legislators at Albany ave, in education and culture, it was not to be ex- pected - that their action would be different. They took the view of the matter the general public took, and acted as they had been aceus- tomed fo act, Nor should it be forgotten that the very ap- pointment of a Commission for the new Post- Office is, in iteelf, a marked evidence of ad- vance toward a proper appreciation of the respeet due the Arts, and especially to Architecture, the mother of the Arts. Whenever, heretofore, the Government has thought a new Post-Office necessary in any city ot the Union, the War Department has in- strneted its architects to take a eertain pattern which had been found a good, practical, work- ing one, and either reduce or enlarge it to suit the needs of the smaller®or larger ity in which it was to be built. This having bétn done, the Department proceeded to buy a piece of land and put up a building, without troubling itself as to whether the citizens liked it or diliked it, whether it was convenient or inconvenient, The notion of appointing a Commission (o treat with the architects, ov of making :mb effort whatever to get a building that should be thoroughly planned and agrecable to look at, is oune that never, till now, - entered info the brain of the Department to copceive, and its action in the present ease certainly marks an important change in its way of looking at the subject. For our part, we rejoice in (his change, and wish it may be lasting, and be followed by other oflicial bodies, tate and Municipal. We owe to the ap- pointment of a Commission our Central Park, o public work most thoroughly well considered in design, and ear- vied out in every detail with conseien- | tious eare: we owe to the want of a Commis- sion the new County Court-Ilouse in the rear of “the City Hall, ngly in design and inade- quate in plan, and built with such shameless squandering of the public money as to make it a disgrace to every one concerned wifh it, Counting the Croton Aqueduct first, and the Central Pwik second, the Post-Oflice will be in the present Government, of which previous | Tory Administration: been devoid; De- gide which, we may fa assume that Lord | Detby is unwilling to incur the tremendous | responsibility of risking a revolution which a | stnbborn resistanee to Reform is almost cerfain | to precipitate.

It is fortunate, therefore, that it is not, to be touched or meddled with by the City Government, but is to be erected by the Na- tional Government, acting through a Committee composed of men of character and education, We may bo reasonably sure that the action of these gentlemen will be as prudent, as thought-| ! ful, and as libeval as that of those other honorable citizens who have had the Croton for the way in which ’ their duties. 3 - [ D T e s - “THr AMERICAN CoNFLICT."—The publishers of my History of the late Civil War authorize meta s give public notice that they will hereafter pre- ! pared to fill promptly every order from their y ing agents for any style of this work, and that the delivery of Vol. IL to the Press—far too long de —will commence forthwith and be i ‘prose- cuted till complote.

About a year ago he gave an address in the Acadamy upon the evening following the veto of the Freedmen’s Burean bill. To the surprise and regret of many of his friends, he defended the Bresis dent. He is understood‘how to be in favor of ime peachment, and it is expected that in his'address on Wednesday evening he will place himself agaia in . the front ranks of Radicalism. . EEHNE e THE DRAMA, oo Ml “ A Dangerous Game,” which keeps the stage of Wallack’s Theater, has been cut and condensed so that it now passes off more smoothly and in less time than at first. Great credit is due to Messrs. Isher- wood and Evans for the elaborate, picturesque pas- toral scene which they bave provided for the opening of this play.

It has been so often played in this citfl that the reader may safoly be sumed to know all about it. Messrs. Smith and Da have effected an engagement with Lady LJ:u wife, the late Six William Don, who will make ber first ap- arance at the New-York Theater on Monday even- g next, the 15th inst. & —The new play of “Clairvoyance,” for'some time in preparation at the Broadway Theater, will be Dbrought out there to-night. Two weeks hence the engagement of the Worrell Smen':: this house, will be concluded. They have, thus far, attracted good andiences. On the 25th inst., Mr. aud Mrs. Barne Williams will hang their green banners ou the ouf ward walls of this theater, and strike the Harp of Erin. Their engagement is to last five weeks. —Mr. Barnum announces that upward of 30,000 pers sons have already witnessed the representation of “The Christian Martyrs” at bis Muscum—a facl which clearly enough indicates the popular success of that singular work, —A repetition of ** La Papillonne” will be givenat the Freuch Theatre to-morrow night. The French come- dians manifest both taste and energy in their man- agement, and they merit the fullest success. —Messrs, Griffin and Christy’s Minstreis, who are now regnlarly installed at the Fifth-avenue Opera, House, are attracting Iz;&c audiences. The performs ances here given pass briskly, presenting, so to speak, an ewr-chapgingf‘pnmnma of mirth. The N?mnm.-l eompany is a large one, and full of talent, - Mr. George Christy, car Burbauk, and Mr. Charles Benedict are its principal members. —The down town Minstrel Hall, that of Messrs Kelly & Leon, No. 720 Broadway, is also prosperous. The burlesque of * Cinder-Leon.” with its greal “ Madagasear Opera Troupe,” lately done here, is one of the cleverest things of the kind that we have seen.
