WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1879. j CONGRESS ADJOURNED, CONGRESS ADJOURNED. i The extra session of Congress, which convened on the 15th f March last, ad journed yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, after a session of three and a half months. The Democratic majority le!ft upon the hands of the President the hill making appropriations for United Stages marshals, and has announced his pur pose not to re-convene Congress for the purpose of acting upon this bill, statiiig in his special message, Monday, that haying "earnestly urged upon the at tention of Congress" his views as to the "necessity of making immediate appro priation for the service of marshals 4n,d deputy marshals for , the fiscal yjear which commences to-morrow," and Hav ing by this means accomplished as mpch towards procuring the desired legisla tion as he could have any hope of f ac complishing by re-convening Congress, he had concluded to abandon his origi nal purpose of issuing a proclamation for its re-call. j The work of this extra session isj be fore the country, and by' the record which the majority there have made, the Democratic party can afford to be judged. It has placed itself squarely and unmistakably on the side of popu lar liberty, and has forced the Republi cans into a defence of the bayonet, su pervision of elections and the infamous test oath. So far, therefore, from having done the party an injury, this Congress has established it in ahighly advantage ous position and enabled it to go into the next national campaign with the strongest of claims upon the people. INCREASE IN REVENUE RECEIPTS. It was stated in a brief news item in yesterday's Observer that the internal revenue receipts for the fiscal year end ing June 30th were $3,000,000 in excess of the receipts for last year, and this notwithstanding the prediction of the commissioner of internal revenue and the Republican members of Congress that if the tax on tobacco were reduced the receipts of the revenue department would be reduced so greatly that the expenses of the government could hard ly be met. The tax was reduced, how ever, and the receipts are increased in stead of being diminished, andCpmmis sioner Raum gives out, by way of cov ering his necessary retreat, that this is due to "a more thorough enforcement of the revenue laws in the South." We tell them that this reduction in the tax is the very thing that has made possible "a more thorough enforcement of the revenue laws in the South," and the re ceipts from the tax . on whiskey and brandy would likewise be increased if the tax were reduced to living figures. The ignorantfRepublifcan mocfnshiners of North Carolina and other Southern States, whose fathers before them con verted their corn and apples and peach es into whiskey and brandy without the necessity of paying a tax upon the pro duct, cannot see the justice of levying a tax upon the juice distilled iby them, when it was not laid upon that produced by their fathers; neither can they in their simplicity understand why they have not the same right to mkke their grain and fruit into whiskey and bran dy, without'interference from the gov ernment, that they have to convert them into meal or into cider or vinegar. These are some of the reasons why 'blockading" has been so extensively In view of the railroad policy jnst adopted by Gov. Jarvis, matters per taining to the management of thd abov6 named road become at once matters of State importance, and' the proceedings of the stockholders' meeting, held at Morehead City last Friday, while a year ago they would have been of only local interest, are now of interest to our whole people, even as the new . policy aboutto be put in operation is de signed to, and must of necessity, affect ihe whole railroad system of the State. 'This road has not done well in the past. It has been a dead loss upon th& hands of the State, the report of President Hughes at this meeting showing that while the receipts last year were $82, 031.43, the expenses were $81,302.25, or net earnings of only $1,629.18. With reference to the policy which has gov erned the road for the past two yeara. President Hughes, as learned from the Goldsboro Messenger, said in his report that the combination which he had formed with the Wilmington & Weldon and Seaboard & Roanoke Railroads and the Old Dominion Steamship Company, was "not irom choice but necessity." The Messenger says: And he then proceeded to pay a glow ing tribute to the splendid harbors of Beaufort and Newbern, and expressed regrets that the advantages these offer to North Carolina commerce are not appreciated. "We must," said Major Hughes, "endeavor to cultivate a North Carolina sentiment," and if the news paper criticism upon his combination ' policy has had a tendency to arouse a SDirit of State pride in our people suf ficient to make the new policy a success, why then, the major talces comfort in the thought that his combination "has borne good fruit." It is said that Maj. Hughes exhibited no captiousness in his report ; that he declares his combination arrangement to have been a success ; that the change in the management of the road was ef fected without wrangling or obstacles, and that the retiring president expressed hopes for the success of the new policy. The following resolutions were intro duced by Col. John L. Morehead and adopted : Resolved, That the stockholders of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad Company in general meeting assembled, do hereby express their desire that their road should become a part of a connect ed line of railway from the Tennessee line to Beaufort harbor, and that there should be established a first-class steam ship line both . at Morehead City and Newbern, and that the board of direc tors of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad Company are hereby author- i7Pd nnd rennested at as earlv a dav as practicable, to secure the establishment of such a North Carolina policy upon such terms as in their best judgment will enure to the benefit of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad. Resolved. That the practice of the directors of the Atlantic & North Caro lina Company, giving free passes over its road is highly censurable, and is an unwarrantable assumption of authority on the part of those who give them, and that all conductors be required to disreeard such passes and that in de fault of so. doing they be held accounta ble to the company for the fares of all s uch as travel on the road on such pass es. and that the amount of the same be deducted from their wages, and that copy of this resolution be placed in a conspicuous place in each passenger coach. The salary ot the president was re duced to .51,800 and that of the secre tary and treasurer to 51,200 and the stockholders adjourned to meet next year at Beaufort. AND THE .MARSHAL PASSED. Bit,!

Windom said his side had now exhaust ed all the legitimate powers conferred upon them by the rules of the Senate in order to induce the majority to make the necessary -appropriations for mar shals. The President had, so far as Windom knew, exhausted all the pow ers possessed by him on the subject. He had made a patriotic appeal to Con gress to lo its duty and not go home without making the necessary appro priations. He quoted from:; tne Presi dent's xnessage 'to Congress," of yester day and from the, laws defining the duties of marshals. The adjournment resolution, as amended, was passed at 1.30 p. m. Harris moved to reconsider the vote by which the free quinine bill was re ferred to the finance committee yester day. Morrill spoke in opposition, and Beck in support of the motion. It was agreed to and the bill was passed by viva voce, no one voting in the negative. At 2:45 p. m. a message from the House announced its concurrence in the Senate amendments to the final ad journment resolution. The Senate then went into executive, session, ana wnen the doors were re-opened, complimen tary resolutions were passed thanking Vice-Jrresiaent vvneeier tor nis courte sy and impartiality as presiding officer; also thanking Mr. Thurman as presi dent pro tern.

In the course of his explanation he alluded to the conversation which recently occurred between Hub- bell, of Michigan, ana nimseii, in respect to The National View. This brought forth a shout, and an ex planation from Hubbell, after which the House resumed the business of the morning hour, being the bill prohibit ing political assessments. Tne political assessments Din went over without action in consequence of dilatory motions by the Republicans. The Senate amendments to the House adjournment resolution were concur red in. A message from the Senate announc ing the passage of the free quinine bill was received with applause. After the passage of some unimpor tant bills, by unanimous consent the House took a recess until 4 o'clock.

The Times's Paris correspondent says: "The majority of the Bonapartists are understood to con cur with M. Rouher in acknowledging Prince Jerome Bonaparte as chief of the Napoleonistic dynasty. They argue that the will ot the late irnnce imperial, which'asks the ex-Empress Eugenie to co-operate with Prince Victor, was written on the assumption that the tes tator would survive Prince Jerome Bonaparte. This reasoning, however. is considered a transparent excuse for the non-observance of the impractica ble wilrof Prince Imperial. M. Rouher's retirement rrom active politics 'is evi dently owing to the feeling that he'and if rince J erome could not act toeether. and the latter could not be -set aside. What between Prince Jeromo Bona parte's possible adherence to the repub lic, ana tne impossibility of the Clerical section of the Bonapartists choosing a leader without 'either acting acrainst the wishes of the Prince Imperial s will or brooking a distinct disavowal from Prince Victor, the Bonapartists are in one oi tue most perplexing positions ever occupied by any party.
