THE JULY 8ESSI0IT Of tOfl?u?o.
It will be recollected that Congress adjourned
? to meet on the 1st Wednesday in July, if a
quorum should then bo present; otherwise to
stand adjourned until the regular session .in
December. Until recently it wus not supposed
that thero would be a July session. The
impeachment of tho President, it was supposed
would be tho only matter, making a Summer
session necessury, and since the ad verso report
of tho Judiciary Committee, that seemed to be
abandoned. Tho President was c?? entirely
powerless, as scarcely to merit the trouble of a
tedious process for his removal. But tho recent
opiuiou of the Attorney-General, putting an
unexpected ^construction upon the military
acts, find JuuUing tho powers of Ibc inilitury
commander?, afforded a pretext for still further
agitation. Thad. Stevens decreed it, llic
Chionicte urged it, and AVade and his parly of
cxcursiouist?, consisting of fifteen Republican
Senators, were unanimously in favor of |it.
The more jnoJerato Republican journals
deprecate tlio probable action of tlio body
us likely to delay reconstruction. Wc of the
South are at present ill bucIi a condition of
collapte, financial and political, that it is
doubtful whether we can be much worsted by
nnythiug that a Radical Congress will iutlict,
but if anything could extinguish me last,
spark of vitality, it would be this unceasing
political agitation, which distracts us at home,
and keeps out the influx of Ubor and capital
from abroad. We want pcacc; and rest-is the
novereign panacea for our ill*. For this reason,
we think ill advised, that course, which
provokes constantly new issues, with tlio dominant
parly, whether as in the Georgia and
Mississippi bills, upon the constitutionality of
tlic military acts, or as in tiie present opinion
of the Attorney-General, upon a construction
?f its provisions, and which serves only to dig.
close our weakuess, and furnish to an unscrup
UiOUS party, a pieueiL ior iuriu? usmj/uuvus.
Thad. Stevens himself adroit# that the military
hills arc unconstitutional, and why stickle upon
tlio terms uf the acts themselves, and endeavor
to extract civil liberty from the moat despotic of
Congressional usurpations. To eay tlie least of
it, it seems to be as undignified as it is impolitic,
to raise a fruitless contest over the dry bones
and hollow shells of our political rights, after
having lost their body aud animating 6pirit.
"The coirespondent of tho New York Ihrahl
telographs to that paper of Frida)*, and says :
"The approaching seaeioo -of Congress excites
rather more ihAti the usual degree of iuterest
felt in tha meeting of lhat body. The question
is asked on every hand, ' Will the coming
acsaion ue a long one f auu iu? replies caosi
fre<j"ientlj given indicate the prevailing belief
to be, that tho sesiian will be short The
members already bere, with one or two exceptions,
hare expressed hopes that .the business
before Congress may be speedily disposed of,
and the majority of the letters from members
at a distance express decided opposition to n
protracted airaHntr session. Several members
have written that-they will be in their seats
when the roll ia called, but will not promise to
legislate upon any other c^ueution than that of
reconstruction. The impression now exists
that nothing more will be done during the
session than passing on Act defining and per.
iecuog we oneimrDarger-rjnerman laws and
voting on additional appropriation to carry
them juto effect. It ia well known here, however,
that the champions of impeachment are
whetting their knives for another ultiiek, and
the friends of fiuaucia! reformation arc on the
qui viva for an expected opportunity."

I THE FHEVCH EXHIBITION'.
One of the wonders of modern times, and unI
exempted indeed ia the world's history, isllto
Paris EKhibition, which is now attracting
crowds to the most brilliant Capitol of Europe.
A brilliant conception of the French Emperor,
it has more than realized his anticipation*, in
the richness and variety of the contributions
from tlio industry of all nations, Ibe universal
interest which it has evoked, and the large
concourse of crowned heads which it has ut_
traded. The workidiopa of the artisan, the gal
ICHV9 UI ttiijiuj U1 |)UiHCva uuu piifnto luiuioiuuo,
have unlocked their richest stores to swell tho
more than regul splen Jor and profusion of the
display. The beholder might well imagine in
contemplating this fairy palace of art, that he
was viewing some sccno of Eastern enchantment.
Not the loast interesting feuture of tho
Exhibition aro tho varied specimens of the
genua homo for the first lime brought together,
and chief among these the crowned heads of
the world. AVe quote the words of the
Charleston Hem ;
The Queen of England sent her sodb to pay
their respects to Napoleon; the King and
Queen of tho Ilelgiuns came, the guests of his
Imperial Majesty. Tho Cxar and one of hie
Rons did not disdain to partake of the Emperor's
hospitality. Tho Crown Prince of Prus
sift came, and returned to Berlin, delighted
with the regal reception accorded hiui. His
august father, King William, iu company with
Count Bismarck eamo next, nr. J lias returned
again to the City by the Spree. Victor Eman
ual will arrive this week, bo also the Sultan of
I Turkey; and most wonderful to tell, about llio
firet of July, the Emperor of China is expected
in Paris, the guest of Louia jiapolcon.
This last in unquestionably the most remarkable
event in modem hintory. Tli? Tycoon
of Japan is also represented in Paris by
Iii3 brother. It is reaponalde, we think, to in
Icr from this event, that the Great W'nll, that ,
hitherto kept outside barhurians both from j
China and Japan, will soon he levelled, never
again to obstruct the onwurd march of civilization
and Christianity.
We have not named many of the European
1 oovoreigns aim itiiivcs, wnv i?uv? *uitcu, w j
! are yet to visit Pari*; during the present sum
! mer. Napoleon was the first luunurcli who
ever conceived the brilliant project of assem- j
bling the crowned beads of the world arouml |
an exhibition of tlio triumphs of the world's j
industry. This is an excellent preliminary j
ntep to his other achcme of bringing about a
j European Congress for the adjudication of vaj
rioui questions of continental interest?one of !
' lliem a general disarmament.
j The Bah-koom Oiiuer. ? The Charleston
i papers publish a correspondence between (Jen|
cral Sickles and the City Council, in relation
' to the recent military order, closing Ilia bar'
rooms. The Council in tlx-ir communication,
{ urge that great injury will he done to the
j credit and prosperity of tlio city, in the loss of
I tin annual revenue of $fi2.00<> from licence*.
I and an additional large item from tlio lux upon
i the sal?3 of liquors, as well as the load ami
and inconvcnienco from iho sudden cessation
of a profitable busiuce.
General Sickles iu declining to suspend or
modify his order, any a :
" Experience has shown that there are no
more piolifie causes of disorder limn the free
use of intoxicating liquor in nuincroux places
, of common report, located among communities ,

municipalities in the Carolina?, by the increas.
, eii cuarantee? for the good order, sobriety and
J industry of the population, and the constant
' addition to the genera) welfare of tho people,
i than will be lost by the inconsiderable and
' temporary diminution of revenue derived from
j a truflio that whilo it may contribute someJ
thing to the public treasury, impoverishes and

hae addressed u letter to Senator Wilson tlx*
chairman of the Military Committee of the
ijenato, urging the necessity of au additional
appropriation by Congress, to carry into execution
tho reconetructio??Ael8. lie says :
"Tho oppropriation of $6,000,1)00 to execute
the reconstruction Acta id altogether inadequate.
I am informed that my eKtiinntca for
April ntid May are lem than thoia of
otlicr District Commander*. Indeed, the
whole sum was more than absorbed by the estimates
for May. For the Carolina*, at least
$500,000 will be required.
" I have applied to the Navv and Treasurv
Departments for certain facilities, which, in
view of the email appropiation, I presumed
would be granted, but my requests hnvo not
been considered. 1 underhand that tlio Secretary
of the Navy assigned as his reason that
no aid must bo expected from that department
in tho execution of the reconstruction Acta of
Congress. . The Secretary of tho Treanury expressed
his desiro to do all ho could, but did
not feel at liberty to make any disbursements
for objects not precisely within the jurisdiction
of hia department. It is usual, 1 believe, when
tho appropriation for an object authorized by
Congress is unsuflicicnt, to mako the necessary
expenditures and trust to a "deficiency bill,"
but in tho execution of thesq Acts lliis courso
will be impracticable, inasmuch na the principal
disbursements aro for the services of
pereons who depend upon their pay for eupport.
1 have the honor to suggest for your considera
tion, and of your colleagues na well, lliat tho
interests of the public service require, without
delay, a further appropriation to execute the
Acts of Congress for tho government of the
