THE

speech of Judge

KKLLE?,

from

whidh publish extracts to-day, contains a happy reference to the growth and prosperity of our neighboring town of Brazil. The exhaustless mineral wealth of tJlly^oonlity will soon make it OUP of the richest and must populous counties in the State. We are glad to see such prominence given to it in the councils of the nation

Congress.

It is fashionable among the Democracy and the few followers of Mr. JOHNSON

abuse Congress loudly and continually and to affect to trace all the troubles of the times to something done or omitted to be done by that Department. Occai sionally too, some doubtful Republican joins in the cry. There is neither truthfulness nor justice in these accusations. The Congress of the United States has been the only hope and salvation of the country since the assassination of Mr. LINCOLN

and the accession of

JOHNSON

has openly gone over to the Democracy and to their legitimate allies, the

Rebels, everything possible is done

by him and them to thwart the action of Congress and oppose the execution of every law enacted by it for tho public good. The obstinate, mulish President la determined to place every obstacle In the way of the execution of the laws of a Republican Congress. Finding his veto power useless ho resorts to any scheme that can be invented to render the work of Congraes of no avail. He suggests nothing for the common good and is determined to do nothing in that direction. In all this the President is supported by the Democracy, the Rebels and the place hunters known as the Johnton party who raise a commingled yoll of approbation over every act of his in oppositionjto Congress, The administration of the laws of Congress being virtually in the hands of the Democracy, and the

&*•©£.,

rebels, nothing in the way of tmpport can be expected from that quarter. The present Congress has done much already for the country. It has stopped the ruinous contraction policy of the Secretary of the Treasury it has started on a steady course of retrenchment in all the public expenses, it is progressing with the matter of reconstruction, is now perfect" ing a financial system which, it is hoped, will bring relief to the country, and is overhauling the revenue laws. We havo faith that Congress will work out all these difficult matters to the satisfaction of the people before the present session ends.— The proper discussion and settlement of such important legislation is necessarily a slow matter, and cannot be perfected in a day. The people are satisfied that Congress means to act for the best in regard to all tho legislation now before it and will be inclined to stand by their rep resentatives, and to disregard the abuse which fielels acd Democrats daily heap upon them. In due time the present Congress will adopt tho legislation need ful to save the country from the disastrou consequence? of tho rebellion which Rebels and Democrats originated to destroy it.

Banks' Bill—Citizenship. The Bill prepared by General BANKS —published in our columns some days ago -for the protection of American citi zens while traveling or temporarily sojourning in foreign States, has evoked a strong feeling of opposition in both Houses ot Congress, and has not met the cordial approval of the leading journals of the dominant party. While its main features are very generally indorsed as embodying the American idea as to the rights and privileges every government should guarantee to each citizen, native or adopted, there is an impression that it is not safe to place in the hands of an Executive, and especially in the hands of ANDY JOHNSON,

Mr.

an instrument with

which he could so readily involve the country in a foreign war. Mr. SUMNEB, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, is understood to be opposed to the bill as it stands, and is said to have expressed the opinion that it cannot be favorably reported upon by his Committee without such modification as will render it a less potent agency for mischief in the hands of a reckless Chief Magistrate.

SBWAHP

is opposed to the measure

for other reasons, bolieving it will complicate our relations with Great Britain to an extent»not altogether politic. There is reason in the hesitancy on the part of Congress to add to

JOHNSON'S

BANKS

means of

doing harm to a Government which he has neglected no opportunity to disgrace and humiliate, but tho bill as prepared by General

unquestionably embodies

principles which the American people will Insist upon having enacted into law and with which they will demand compliance on the part of foreign States. A Government cannot command respect at homo or abroad if it fail to protect the rights of even the meanest of its subjects( and a foreign war. is an evil of leas magnitude than tho loss of national character

But for the bold and firm stand taken by Congress during the last three years on the question of reconstruction! the President and his Cabinet would already have had all the Southern Rebels reinstated in power and ready for another rebellion. They would have deluged the South again in blood, have instituted the "war of races" about which they prate so tenderly and have driven the entire loyal element both white and blaok from the States lately in rebellion. But for Congress and the fear of impeachment the President, urged on by his Democratic and Rebel allies, would have paralysed and ruihed the commerce and- industry of the country As it io Lis Secretary of the Treasury has inflicted great injury upon it.
