It promises to be very lively and interesting. Apart from the regular legis lation, the business of President-making will chiefly be attended to ; and as the Forty- wecond Congress meets on the day the Forty-first ends, te intrigues for the Bpeakership, which aro usually transacted in the vacation, will also employ a great deal , of time and labor during the coming three months. Some prophets have given out that this will be a very corrupt session, and that an anusual number of jobs will be propounded and carriod through. There is no ground for any such anticipation. The present Con- Gress is as honest and able as the average of \ta predecessors, and we see no reason why Wt should suddenly become depraved We shall publish the Preside nt’s meesage tomorrow. me Vance be Admitted to the Senate? Whether Gov. Vance of North Carolina shall be admitted to the Senate or not, in- volves questions of grave importance. His tase falls expressly within the disfranchising tlauses of the third section of the Fourteenth Qmendment to the Constitution. In any event, he cannot be admitted unless Congress shall, by a vote of two-thirds of each Honse, femove his disabilities. Whether or not the two Houses will re- Move them, so that the Senate may admit Gov. Vance toa seat, will doubtless be de- termined, not so much in view of bis past acta, which are on record and are known of all men, as by the opinion which Congress may entertain of his sontiments and pur. poses in regard to the principles settled by the war and the policy of reconstruction. If, in the judgment of two-thirds of each House, he accepts this settlement in good faith, and intends to abide by it during his Senatorial term, then, irrespective of his acts and utterances during the rebellion and the period of reconstruction, we presume his Hisabilities will bo removed. Of course, these acts and utterances, and especially those of fecent date, will very probably exert their due influcnce in enabling Congress to make up ite judgment es to the opinions and pur poses which Gov, Vancr really entertains at the time he appears at its bar aod asks for the removal of his d.eabilities, The dispo Will Gov. sl of his case, therefore, rests quite as much in his own Lands as in those ofgtho two Houses.

Under tho law requiring the owacis of bank stocks to pay taxes on their shares as personal property, it is the duty of the Board of Tax rm in this city to fix every year the value of such shure to determi muniseion , in order » the amount of tax to which they areliablo, After a great deal of contro vorsy on the subject, the Commissioners have fettled down to the practice of taking the nominal capital of each bank asa starting point, and, after deduct sopaed valuc 5 thorefroin the as « held Ly the bank, or by the number of eharcs and acopting the quotient as the tax able value of « f real est of dividing the remair ch share, Thus: if a baok has a cay ital of $1,900,000, divided into 10,000 shares of $100 cach, and owning rea) estate BagceHod At FL00,000, this $200,000 is deduct ed from thy $1,000,000, and the remaining $800,000, I Ly 10,¢ gives $80 ag tho value of cach share. however, the rate of taxation inthe same on x Personal prop 1 the tax, th nominally paid by en al stockhold had no mons then their ®ominal Uarule of axeessment would evidently nat ono, But it hap pens that f ler and more pros perons i * have accumulated large Burpluses, wh y hold and use in addi tion to their nominal capital. In one cage, that of the Chemical Bank, the nomino tal is $300,000, while the surplus in $2 133 800, The consequence is that, ulthongh the whole $2,458,800 in employed in earning diy Adonds, only one-e'ghth part of it pays taxes ho other sevon-eighths going free.

Is any argument necessary to show the injustice of this? The preseut Commissioners, we are in- formed, desired to correct this inequality, and to make the surpluses of the banks, amounting in the aggrogate to over $30,000,- 000, bear their share of the common burden ; Lut they were overraled by decisions of high- cr officials in the State Government, and by decisions of the Courts. The subject is one tliat should receive the attention of the Legislature, and we trust it will not be neglected at the coming session. pedaacnesecsi Davaniaae The Progress of Germany. The present year will long be remomber- ed in history as marking @ new era in the annals of humanity, in the rise of Germany to tho first place among the powers of the world. The Decline aud Fall of France Lids fair to become as suggestive a theme for the historian as wos the Decline and Fall of Rome, Though time may be required to comprehend the extent of tho vicissitudes which have overtaken a grent nation like France, the palpable fact of the preponder- ance of Germany must be admitted, and must commend itsclf to the conscience and judgment of mankind, however much the sympathies of generous hearts may be ex tended to the misfortunes of France. The military triumph of Germany could never have been gained, unaided by the intelli gence and honesty which pervade all branches of her public service and all classes of her people. There has boon scarcely a blunder eommitted anywhere, since the beginning of the w The wonderful precision and perfection of the military a3 well as of the civil branches of the German Government can ouly be ac. counted for upon the ground of immense preliminary labors expended in bringing the standard of intelligence and integrity to the degree of excellence which now chal lenges the admiration of the world It ie scarcely just to avsume that the vie tory of the honse of HonenzouLenn has been achieved only in tho interest of mon archy and military oligarchies, The Ger- man people, now conscious of their power, sre not likely to crouch forever at tho foot of the throne, or remain the vassals of feudal barons.

For twenty-six days it would amount to 16,900 bushels, making « tax of 1,620; and, supposing he should draw off and place in bonded warehouse during said time 57,000 gallons, the tax would be $5,700; in all, @7,820. He continues to run during the month of Octobor, and on the Jast day he would owe $7,520 more ; in all, $14,- 640. Now, supposing the distiller has been sell- ing bis wines from day to day (as most of them have been doing), he would baye $14,640 of the Government money, and all they ask him to pay is $7,320 for the month of September, thereby furnishing him ovor $7,000 in money to continue running his distillery for gnother thirty days, and soon while be rung. The reason that high- wines are selling to-day at 8334 to 84 cents, while no distiller can make them at less thon 87 cents per gallop, is au ‘overstocked market,’ caused by Government furnishing the distillers with money to manufacture them with; and they keep running slong on this money (or rather some of them on the little of it they have left and have not lost), not being able to close up and settle with the Government, and like Micaw- Bun ‘ waiting for something to turn up.’ ”” Aires A Harvard University has no reason to com- plain that her interests are neglected by the rich and liberal, A few years ago Mr. B. T. Reap of Boston founded an Episcopal Theological Seminary in connection with the University ata cost of a hundred thousand dollars, To this tucceeded a splendid new dormitory, erected by Mr. Narmanret Traven, tho rich banker of Bos- ton, at an expense of nearly one hundred thon sand dollars ; and now it is announced that Mr. Natuan Marrvews and Mr, Wituiam FB, Wen, both of Boston or its vicinity, are cach to erect a hall for the University which will cost as mach as Mr, Tarren’s, The three last charities will have the effect of considerably reducing the expenses of living to students, and will, it is hoped, save the University the necessity of again raising the rate of tuition fees, When the new dormitories are completed, most if not all of the undergraduates can be lodged within the college «rounds, which will doubtless prove more agreea- Lie to the young men, and more conducive to the preservation of discipline. —— The farce of sending Cuban Deputies to the Cortes in Madrid is, according to late ad- vices from Havana, to be carried out, Among the candidates who seek the honor of represent- ing Havana are Don Juan Pory, tho man who some time since, when a member of the Common Council of Havana, proposed a law under which all Chinamen should be branded with their owner’s mark, that they might be more easily recognized ; Covomt Jost Luis Avroxso, known 8 the Marquis of Montelo; Qtawo, man of all work to De Ropas; Conde oe Cafoxgo, Maxver pe Anwas, and Don Gonzao Jaunix.
