He points ont what he conceives to be the duty of Congress, and, as usual, favors the impeach- ment of the President. There is again, as there has been in former years, a great deal of suffering among the workingmen of France, and strikes for higher wages are becoming frequent. This adds a new cause of discontent to the many alr pady existing. We print to-day a full statement of th » spirit and work of the second session of the XXXIXth Congress—of its policy of reconstruction, finan- cial and general legislation. To this is ap- pended a summary of the laws passed daring the second session Not so fortunate as James Stephens, Col. O'Connor, the leader of the late Fenian revolt in Ireland, a Cable dispatch informs us, has Dbeen captured. He fell into the hands of his Westmeath County, nearly 200 at of the insurrection. enemies in miles from the se: Mr. James Brooks failed to secure the sup- port of lus party for Speaker of the House yesterday ; yet his appetite for wischief seems not at all sated. His protest against the organi- zation of Congress is a purely factious pro- ceeding. ————— 1t is again announced that Garibaldi will go _ | to Crete to aid the insurrection by the prestige of his name. His sons have already gone there. According to onr own correspondence from Constantinople, the insurgents were, in the be- 6 conts per pound. It is provided that washed wools shall pay double duty. " On woolen cloths, shawls, ete., 50 cents per pound, and 55 per cent ad valorem are levied; on blankets, flannels, ote., from 20 to 40 cents per pound, according to the grade; on bunting, 20 cents per square yard, and 35 per eent ad valore on dress goods, 6 cents per , and 35 per cent ad valorem; on clothing ready made, 50 cents per pound, and 40 per cent ad valorem ; 50 cents per pound and 30 per cent ad valorem are imposed on webbings, belting, ete. The duties on carpets are 50 per cent ad valorem on Aubusson, on Brusscls 44 cents per square yard, and 35 per cent ad valorem, and on other kinds in proportion. In the report on the (Custom-Tlouse frauds, (he mame of the late Mr. Jayes HUMPHREY of Brooklyn is mentioned as concerned in some negotiations with the Collector. The Committee say distinetly enough that Mr. Humphrey rejected the offer that was made him by Mr. Smythe, and it plain upon this statement, and upon their re- view of bis relations with Mr. Smythe, that he neither , nor was by the Committes sup- posed 4o be, in any manner i party to irregu- lar proceedin For those who did not know Mr. Humplrey, it is worth while to say this explicitly, becanse the opinion of the Committee, though clear, is in one passage not 8o clearly stated as it might be. To those who did know him, any explanation on this point is superfluous. Mr. Humphrey was long honored by his fellow citizens of Brooklyn as a merchant whose integrity was never ques- tioned, and as a public servant of irreproach- able fidelit THE THIRTY-NINTH CONGRESS. The XXXIXth Congress has passed into history. Its carcer has been ono of the most eventful of any in our anmals, It has had large duties and responsibilities, and on the wholo has discharged them mobly. Tts debates have been marked by great diversity of senti- ment, by every shade of opinion, on the great public topies upon which it has been compelled to review and decide. But when the talk has been ended, the action has been rems ly harmonious and decisive. It has been a won- der often to sce how so many divergent streams of thought and opinion could be found at length converging together, and finally flowing in the same channel. That the many have been so generally able to become one on questions and meas- ures of the most difficult and acter, is a credit to representative go ment, and a testimony of great weight to the considerate judgment of the American people. The gravest and highest problems of go ment, involving not only policy but principles, have been treated, and at least temporarily golved, with an unanimity unpar i legislation. No Congress ever had more dif cult work to perform, and none ever dis ched it with more fidelity and resolution. It took up the affairs of the nation just ns a great war was closing. Its first duty was to pay and find outside of New-York that, within the last few days, very serious bank defaleations have been brought to light, We enumerate such as we see reported in the papers, First: National Bank at Meredith, N. Y.— failed. Cause—Speculations of the President. Second : National Bank of Hudson—closed. Cause—Specunlations of Cashier. Third : First National Bank of Newtonville, Mass.—lost twice its capital. Cause—Specula- tions of Cashier. Fourth : Mechanies' Nationali Bauk, Baltimore —defaleation $300,000, by Bookkeeper and Pay- ing Teller. Fifth : State Bank, Boston—defalcation $600,- 000. Cause—Speculations of Cashier. The State Bank of Boston, which we find in the above list, is one of the oldest and most re- spectably managed banks in the country, and always has been. Whatever other bank was in difficulty, it was always the State Bank that kept out. The fact that it is now implicated in the general speenlations that have grown out of the enormous volume of paper money, shows into what close circles the mischief has pene- trated. When a bank like the State Bank isin- fected, we may look for rottenness anywhere and everywhere; and, aa time rolls around, we may expect to see it developed even where least looked for. We may well inquire if this is the time to be talking about yet more infla- tion of the currency, when results like these, of which we are undoubtedly just secing the be- ginning, are the fruits of what we have. NEW-HAMPSHIRE. The Granite State holds her Annual Election on Tuesday next, when she will choose three Representatives in Congress (by districts), with a Governor, Railroad Commissioner, Council, Senate, and House of Representatives. The contest is spirited, and the vote likely to be pretty full. The State has recently voted as follows : Democratie. 220,005, .. Eastman.... Republican. 1863 Gor... .Gillmore... Harriman 1864, Pres't. Lincoln Gor, Bmyth. Smyth... Gen. Harriman, who was the candidate of the War Democrats in 1863, is now the ean- didate of the united opponents of Copperhead Democracy. e is a gallant soldier, who went into the War a regular Democrat, and came ont pretty thoroughly reconstructed on the plat- form of Emancipation and Unconditional Union- ism. He is an effective speaker, and ought to poll a very heavy vote. Mr. Sinclair, his com- petitor, will poll the full strength of his party. The Republicans have presented new eandi- dates for Congress in each district. The rival nominees are as follows: Republican. 1. Jacob. I Ela, 1L Aaron F. Stovens, 111 Jacob Benton. We respeet the old adage, Democratic. Daniel Marey, Edward W. Harrington, Harry Bingham. ver halloo till “you are out of the woods,” knowing well that | New-Hampshire is by far the most evenly divided of the Eastern States; yet we believe | members of Congress are likely to send dele- THE XXXIXth CONGm‘qS' gations of the following complexion: Rep.

Comparing the XXXIXth with the XLth Con- gross, our gains and losses are as follows: Galn. 1 Gain. Loss. Lows. Indiana... 3 1| New-York.. 0 Maryland.. v 0 2 1OK0 s 1 New-Jersey..... 1 0| Pennsylvania. 0 Nebraska . 5 bl —showing a gain of five, against a loss of three, or a net gain of two. Thad. Stevens will take the same rank in the new Congress that he did in the old, and with him all the prominent Republican members of the XXXIXth Congress have been reélected. Intellectually, the Republiean party will gain in strength by the addition of such new members as Gens, Butler and Logan, and Mr. Covode. The election, on the other hand, of men like Fernando Wood and John Morrissey is likely to add to the disorganization of the Demo cratic party. There is none among either the old or new members of that party who will gen- erally be accepted as a leader., The prospects of the XLth Congress are in every respect brighter than thoso of the XXXIXth; and if we take into consideration that the passage of the Reconstruction bill must secure a large addition to the Republican party from the as yet unreconstructed States, while few or no additions will be made from them to the Democratic party, we look forward to a bright chapter in the history of American Congresses, and, in particular, to the success- ful exccution of a sound policy of Reconstruc- tion, —_— BEET-ROOT SUGAR. Mr. Hotehkiss's persistent effort to ebtain the consent of Congress to admit beet sugar- making machinery free of duty, we learn, was finally successful in the last hours of the session. Such, at least, is the report. We hope it is true, if it will do anything toward turning the attention of our peopio to sugar- makivg from the beet. Whatever tends to give an impnlse to this branch of industry is to be applauded. It can hardly fail to excite surprise in the mind of any one who has paid attention to the development of it in France and the Low Countrics, and seen the success with which it is there prosecuted, that the United States has given so little attention to this subject. We believe there is an idea afloat and wide-spread, that France sustains her beet-sugar interests by large protective duties. This is not the ease. Such duties were at first imposed by the first Bonaparte, in order to start the enterprise. He was derided for his attempt. But the protective policy he instituted triumphed in the most decisive man- [ The beet culture and the making of proved a great suceess under the system which gave the Freneh markets to the home producer of sug If the blind devotees to THE SPIRIT AND WORK OF THE SECOND SESSION, The Second Session of the XXXIXth Congress began Dec, 8, 1866, after » recess of more than four months When Congress adjourned July 28, it had been for flM months occupied with legislative measures to proteet the Republie from the evil results of the concessions the President, without its suthority, had made to the Rebel States. Its first step had been to absolutely refuse ad™ mission to the rcpresentatives of those States, and thus to assert Its right tofix the terms of reconstruction. Its second step was to devise immediate measurc for the protection of loyal men and freedmen in those States, und legislation with that olject wis embodied In two great laws, both of which wees passed over the vetoes of the President. These were the bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau, aud the Civil Rights bill. A third measure, intended to be, at least, a basis of reconstruction, was the Amendment to the Constitution of the Ubited States. In these three measures the important action of the Congress in its first session may be sald to have been included, and valuablo a8 they were, none of them solved the problem. The Freedmen's Bureau and the Civil Rights bill were mainly measures of protection, the latter, however, establishing impartial conditions of citizenship,but neither provided for representation of the Rebel States in Congress. The Con- stitutional Amendment went further; it excluded Rebels from voting for President or Congressmen till 1870, per- manently deprived certain classes of traitors of the right to hold office, and changed the basis of representation from population to the number of legal voters, Buti¢ did not settle the all-important questions of suffrage and the method of State reorganization, and Congress ad- Journed July 28, leaving the country without a plan of re- ‘construetion, though strongly encouraged by these meas- ures and the emphatic assurance that the President's policy would in no case be sustained. During the recess were great events which rocked the nation to and fro, and deepened and widened the gulf be- tween loyalty and treason, Republicanism and Demoe- racy. Two days after its adjournment a convention of loyal men, assembled in New-Orleans, was attacked by a Rebel mob, which murdered its members, incited by hatred of their loyalty, and encournged by the clvil au- thoritics of New-Orleans, who in their turn were pro- tected and Jnstified by the President of the United States. ‘This massacre aroused the indignation of the North, in- creased by the indifference of the President, and only moderated by the military measures taken by Gen. Sheridan. Then followed in September the Johnson Con- veéntion a¢ Philadelphia, in which every Southern State was represented by leadiiz Rcbels, and the North by members of the Democratie party and renegade Republicans, This Conveution was intended as an assurance that the South was willing to compromise with the North, and that no reason ex- fsted for denying it represeutation in Congress. Bug though Mr. Johnson wept tears of Joy over the tonching spectacle of the embraces of Gov. Orr of Soutk Carolina and Gen. Couch of Massachusetts, loyal men interpreted them to mean not that Rebels acknowledged their crimes, but that Northern men forgot thelr principles. The Convention failed to affect the purpose ot the North, and wad immediately succeoded by that of the Southern Loyahsts, in which the true men of the Bouth affirmed that though the Southern States had abandoned rebellion. they kad not ceased to be disloyal, and appealed to the North not to conseut to the restoration of civil governments from which Union men were excluded, and under which the negro was to bo crushed. Waile this Convention was in session the President, attended by several members of his Cabinet and officers of the army, was making his eel- brated pilgrimage to the tomb of Stephen A. Dovglas, pausing in every town on the lineof his journey to de- nounce Congress as the canse of ous national troubles, to assert the loyalty of the South, and to ask for his policy the indorsement of the people. At St. Lonis Mr. Joinson aceused the Radicals in Congress of instigating the New-Orleans massacre, and nowhere was he warmly reeeived by the people. He returned Aispirited to Washingten, aud the effect of his denuncia- tions of Congress and apologics for the South was soon ginning of February, in possession of the larger | portion of the Island. hanschad L B free trade doctrines were susceptible of in- struction, they might find it in the history of | sngar-making from the beet in France.

This grateful duty performed, its attention turned to the accomplishment of another yet more difficult task, This was to protect loyalty in the Rebel States, to prevent the freedmen from being reduced to serfdom, to undo what the President had done during the | nine dreary months which intervened between | theadjournment of the VIt Congressand the meeting of the XXXIXth, It found a ovident in the Fall elections.
