ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.-Con? gress adjourned on Saturday last, until tho first Wednesday in July next, on which day, if no quorum shall be present, it will, by tho terms of tho resolutions adopted, adjourn to thc regular timo of meeting in December. Tho special correspondent of the New York Times Bays: This result was not arrived at with? out a bard struggle. The Conference Committee appointed yesterday disa? greed, and, on their report, each House set to work aud passed now resolutions. That of tho House pro? vided for adjournment at 3 o'clock, to-morrow, until tho first Wednesday of July, when, if a quorum did not appear, there should bo an adjourn? ment from day to day for five days, and if no quorum appeared at the end of that time, then an adjournment sine die. Tho Senate resolution sim? ply provided for an adjournment at 12 o'clock to-morrow, until the first Wednesday of July, when, if no quo? rum appeared, the two Houses should adjourn SJ?e die. Each House sent its resolution to the other; but when the Houso resolution was received in the Senate, that body was in execu? tive session. Tho Senate resolution was received in thc House about 5 o'clock p. m., when Mr. Bingham promptly moved to concur, which was agreed to on a call of the yeas and nays, by yeas 53, nays 46. Tho yeas were composed of twenty-two Demo? crats and thirty-one Republicans. Tho nays were all radicals, and represent the full strength of tho impeachers in the present thin State of the House, fifty-nine mombers being absent, most of whom are moderate men, who have not sworn to impeach tho Pre? sident without evidence. Both Houses will meet at 10 .o'clock to-morrow morning, and close their business. Tho Senate will be proclaimed in extra session for the consideration of executive business. SENSIBLE.-The following is from tho Commercial Bulletin, of New Or? leans: In our situation, inactivity is not masterly. Tho South needs action, enterprise, development. She has % no time for star gazing. She cannot wait, Uko the rustic ox Horace, until tho "river shall flow by." We have no censure, no complaint. The thing has happened to us, has happened to a thousand people, and will happen, if the world lasts, to a thousand more. We are conquer ed-badly conquered, and no mis? take. We must leave the decision with thoso who have pow'er. We shall neither improve the situation by crawling to their foot-stool, and still loss by subsiding into poverty and indolence. Wo cannot break into the Union with a crow-bar, nor crawl into it through the crevice. Let us go to work in tho field of usefulness uutil we shall be called at the door, in the good old Saxon fashion, to "como into court." There will be a timo for this proclamation. We cannot hasten it by subservience or contumacy. Let us bo what wo have proven ourselves--men, digni? fied, determined, and, above all, un? complaining. In the meantime, we have enough to do. Wo need tho adaption of our whole social system to tho great in? volution of labor and capital. We need the exclusivo devotion of all Southern intellect and energy to Southern interest. The right of sufi'rago is not consi? dered a great boon in Kentucky, if i?ne may judge by a jury's estimate. Edward Williams brought an action against two persons in Covington, for illegally preventing him from voting in the Presidential election of 1864, and laid his damages at 820,000. The jury gavo him a verdict for one cent. Thc Organ un Mr. Davis' Case. Tho Washington National Republi? can, of Thursday, under tho heading ..Why Jeff. Davis hus not been tried," says: The people of tho North, at large, are asking why Jeff. Davis has not bceu trieo for his crimes, and radical politician^, in and out of Congress, have chosen to allege. or insinuate that tho blatno for this apparent ne? glect rests with the President. From respect to tho judiciary* as well as what aro usually termed "reasons of State," we havo hitherto refrained from writing anything upon this sub? ject. We are not insensible of the difficulties by which this matter is surrounded, (and they aro almost as numerous as tho birds of the air or fishes of tho sea.) Nevertheless, the' high character of modern civilization in this hemisphere, every notion wo ever had or have of Magna Charta, or of constitutional law, and every idea of political expediency, as well as justice, impress us with tho belief that tho greatest offender against tho laws of any nation has tho right tobe tried and convicted or acquitted by a jury of his peers. William Lloyd Garrison, of Boston, Gerrit Smith, of Peterboro, and Horaco Greeley, of thc New York Tribune, have regaled, and, perhaps, corrupted tho public mind with the idea that Jeff. Davis is not guilty of treason under the Constitution and raws. Tho marrow and drift of the latest resolutions respecting thc as? sassination tragedy are, that Davis did not give his assent to assassina? tion, but ouly to tho proposal for capturing President Lincoln, his Ca? binet, vice-President Johnson and Gen. Grant, and of holding them as hostages. Everybody has had his say on thes? subjects; a very consi? derable timo has elapsed; John H. Surratt has been brought home and turned over to tho authorities, and yet nothing has been done towards, or even looking towards, tho trial of Jn.tW Davis. Tho President has failed to get tho Circuit Judge into motion; Congress has hitherto declined to try. So that we have tho singular fact staring us in tho face to-day, of a Chief Justice of tho United States who is, by virtuo of his office, a Cir? cuit Judgo ns well, and the only Cir? cuit Judge who has jurisdiction of tho nisi jvius part of this matter, neglecting to hold any Circuit Court in his district. And is it not as as? tonishing ns it is singular? Who will answer? Chief Justice Chase is understood to be the North-western candidate for the next President. He is sup? posed to bo tho special favorite of Ohio. What can Judgo Bingham or any other Ohio Representativo or Se? nator say in dofence of their candi? date for this dereliction of duty? Do they justify tho Chief Justice in this apparent course of inaction, whilst they seek tho slightest pretexts to find fault with every member of tho Executive Department? Will not some bold member of Congress in? quire into this matter? Why-we desire to know-why does not Chief Justice Chase endeavor, at least, to hold a Circuit Court in tho district for which ho was appointed? Is it to avoid the responsibility of trying Jeff. Davis? It has beeu the opinion of tho best lawyers in the couutry that T?fferson Davis is guilty of treason. Wc all know that he has boen a great of? fender against thc Government; but as he was not killed in the war, lie is certainly entitled to bc tried bj' a court, or released from prison. Every idea of Chistian civilization is repugnant to the notion of leaving him, as some say, 4ito rot in prison." Thc keeping kim there iu?ac< used and untried for any offence has too much of tho Bastile and Castle Moro about it to suit us; and we know veiy wellt hat it does not suit the people at largo any better than it snits us. it is high time that some action was hud in this matter. Chief Justice Chase', as long ago ns October, 1865, expressed the opi? nion that Congress should provide some way for the trial of Jeff. Davis. If this be so, then why does not Con? gress attend to thisbusiness before it adjourns? If the venue needs to bo changed, why does not Congress, which claims to be nlmost omnipo? tent in such matters, change it to In? diana, or Ohio, or Pennsylvania, where Jeff. Davis' army ranged, and whither it carried overt acts of his treason, if ho bo guilty at all, and where, if anywhere, an impartialjurj may be and? If this matter does n need the prompt attention of C gress, nothing does. Who will mc in tho matter, and tims pave tho way for the Chief Justice to try tho arch traitor?

M. do Persigny has recently mado a remarkable speech in tho French Chambers, mainly in defence' of the wisdom and vital power or enduranco of tho French Govcmmout. Ho con? tended that tho Emperor had made no real chango in tho constitution, but had only simplified and formal? ized so?le successive modifications. The idea chiefly dwelt upon by thc speaker was tho independence of tho Government of party ebullition, while at the samo time tho Imperial authority was the embodiment of the nationality, tho spirit, the will and tho power of France. M. do Por signy derived much pleasure in con? trasting tho French and English Ministries. He felicitates France . that her Ministers aro not subjected to tho party cbaugesin tho legislative branch-indeed, that they aro not responsible. Tho responsibility of tho Ministry in England, he thinks, a bad feature. Democracy, he evi? dently thinks, is making serious in? roads upon tho British Government, and, indeed, that tho democratic spirit is spreading and threatening tho peace of tho world. Englaud, ho contends, might have put an effectivo check upon it, and done much to promote her own safety, had she seized tho golden opportunity which lately presented itself, when England shrank from aiding Franco to break up tho United States by supporting tho Southerners and by establishing a Mexican empire. Tho London Times makes a vigor? ous assault upon M. do Persigny's speech-a speech regarded as a State paper. The Times considers M. de Persigny authority for Frauce; but denies the fidelity of his picture and thc soundness of his reasons relativo to the workings of the parliamentary system of England. The Times does not choose to look upon the French system as a model, declaring that Frunce lias been governed for centu? ries by "cardinals, by queens, by mistresses, by intriguers, by theo? rists, by every class that disdains responsibility," On this point, we question whether Franco is much ahead of England, tho history of whose rulers is not much behind that of any country for its illustrious and numerous examples of intrigue, vico .and depravity. With reference to M. do Persigny's reminder that England lost tho op? portunity for strengthening herself by aiding Franco to break up the United States, the Times says: "By this time, it seems, we ought to bo resting together after tho demo? lition of tho great American Repub? lic, or winning glory in the still unfi? nished enterprise. But under no Government whatever would Englaud have marched ono foot in such a des? perate and gratuitous crusade. Tho sense of the whole nation is against founding empires and destroying them upon a calculation of political consequences, either in the old world or in the new. Such projects are, indeed, oftener found in palaces than in parliaments, and in hearts as well as hands insulated from social rela? tions and their natural control. If this be all-and this idea is to be tho .touchstone of otir respective metals wo are content to stand the ordeal and to bo thankful that wo aro not a nation of great ideas and irresponsi? ble rulers." While on the subject, we may add that M. Thiers has como out also with a new speech and a new fear. He considers thc state of Europe, and especially France, to bo serious. There is an increaso of armaments. The dangerous idea which ho regards as nnsettling present conditions is "that of nationalities and of great, agglomerations having the same ori? gin and tho same language." The ambition of Prussia and Russia, in taking advantage of nationality, he says, was an insult lo Europe. France could have arrested this ambition by a single word, and that word was "European equilibrium." But he continues. Franco "was led away by tho chimera ol' the nationality princi? pio and by an unreflecting desire for popularity." The only remedy is to restore the European equilibrium .mainly by "recovering the alliance with England. " That alliance will be the protection of small States. Thus theso statesmen speculate'and j scheme; yet events roll on just as though their wise discoveries never had been made. Tho laws established in the beginning still prevail, and nations go through their ups and downs as they always did. That nation which is most certain it has i tho world in a sling is generally the first to take passago on thofacilis de census of nations. [Richmond Dispatch. General, Judge, and Dick Busted has como out again in his conserva? tivo character,, and advises the freed? men of Alabama to cultivate cotton and oschew politics. SPECIAL NOTICES. HABITUAL CONSTIPATION-HO W \ TO EFFECT A CERTAIN AND PER- \ MANENT CUHE.-^orao occupations of | lifo pre-disposo tj costiveness, especially those which allo,v but little exercise. Per? sons who contract this unfortunate habit of body, under such circumstances, might possibly bo relieved by changing their sedentary employments for others of a moro activo kind; but this is by no means certain. Habitual constipation is a very obstinate disorder. All tho ordinary so called remedies invariably aggravate it. Nothing can bo moro injurious than tho continued uso of strong apcricuts. Thoy at first irritate, and finally almost para? lyze tho bowels-rendering thom so torpid that enormous doses of cathartic medi? cines have no effect upon them. A mild iperient, combined with a gentle stimu? lant, is the true remedy; and a combina? tion, in tho happiest proportion, of thoso ingredients, is found in HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. This famous sto? machic invigorates tho whole intestinal canal, wiiilo quietly removing from its con? volutions all impediments to a free passage through them. No mero purgativo has this double operation. No ordinary stimu? lant effects tho desired object. Cases of | constipation, abandoned as hopeless by distinguished medical mon, havo bcon cured m a few weeks by tho Bitters. To thoso who havo tried all tho medicines of | tho dispensary in vain, wo say, trv this irresistible stimulant aud aperient. There is no sufficient reason why constipation should bo tho consequence of sedentary habits. HOSTETTEIt'S BITTERS, by sup? plying thc vigor which would otherwise bo derived from exercise, will in all cases cn ablo tho system to perform its excretory functions regularly and healthfully.
