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

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?

Kunu <, Encland and the United
State*.
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.

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.
