The two houses, second session, Forty tfeoond Congress, will reassemble in the featioaal Capitol on Monday week, the first V"iv in December. Elsewhere in these ^oteions we give a list of the members of both feouses and their pkwy classifications for the general ir formation of our readers. This will be what is familiarly known as the long flessioD, and It will probably be prolonged till, ffeldsummer; for we expect in the President's Annual message some recommendations, em ?-clng a reduction of our internal and ernal national taxes, whioh will be sub ntially adopted by Congress, but whioh in discussion will ocoupy the two houses al months in Presidential electioneering hes. Beyond some reductions in our Internal reve Aue and tariff assessments and the passage of the Regular appropriation bills we do not expect jfeucb from this session; but the reductions sug sted in our schedules of taxation are expected snerally by the country, and cannot safely be snied. To insist upon saddling the present generation, which has borne so much, with ke payment of the national debt, will be a feinnder which we cannot believe will be com fialtted by this Congress on the eve of a presidential eleotion. We therefore expect fhat Congress, consulting the wishes of "be people, will seek rather to lighten aelr {axes than to indulge Mr. Boutwell in faUaoy of hurrying up the payment of the We may have, perhaps, a general j nanesty bill passed, in order to spike the [uns of Carl Schurz and other anti-Grant re publicans; but the late Ku Klux develop lente down South upon this point are some what discouraging.

Cox, of Ohio, lfoes Not Believe There Is Any Truth lu the Rumors Circu lated. Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 23,18TL Tour correspondent, determined to ascertain as as possible on what foundation the ra wed movement of General Batter, Jacob D. x, 'of Ohio, and others against the President Of the UnRed States was oased, this afternoon iraited upon the latter gentleman. Alter the regular interchange or courtesies 1 informed Mr. pox of my Instructions from the Herald, unmpar&Uvely a young man. Prince Albert, It will be remembered, died aftor an illness of a few hours' duration of gastric fever. Inheriting a constitution which, though strength ened by new and healthy blood, is still reebie, and subjected, according to common report, to the enervating influences which are incident to the life or a free living patrloian, there would he nothing very surprising in the news of his premature death. And Judging from the tone even of the conservative English journals, and still more from the franker reports of the Hk-.ai.d correspondent In London, his demise would not be greeted with extravagant regrets by the English people, ills liie, though stui brief, has had a lull measure of unseemly scandal, and he has given do promise cither of the great virtue or talents which would make blm a beloved occupant of the throne. Oi tho sick, as well as of the dead, It u a haru thing to bo forced to apeak sternly; bat In this case it would be Kile to Ignore the truth. The Prince would bo Interred with splendid ceremonies, bnt few tears would perhaps be shed before his tomb. Nay, some might even say that his death would probably defer to a later period the full con summation of that peaceful revolution which is now converting Great Britain from a monarchy into a republic, for many, even among repntabie English newspapers and reviews, have hinted at the reluc tance with which the British people would accept a representative whose pn vate character Is said to bo stained with many lapses from ordinary decency. If the Prince dies the heirship to the throno would, of course, descend to his eldest son, Prinoe Albert Victor Christian Edward, wno was born at Frog more Lodge, Windsor, on the 8th of January, lMV and is consequently now nearly eight years old. The law of succession to the British throne provides that the crown shall descond to tue direct lineal male heir. The chances ot tne orotners or the Prinoe of Wales to Inherit the throne are, there fore, very slender. Between Prince Aurcd, the Queen's second son, and the crown there stand Ave lives, only one of the Prince of Wales' six chil dren having died, and the chance or male children to Prince Albert Eaward ine younger. Two sous and three girls are still alive to the Prince of Wales, and it Is hardly probable that they wUi all die prematnrely. The immediate effect of the death of tho Fitnoo of Wales would probably be to still further postpone the execution of the Queen's reported wish to abdi cate the throne. But for the unpopularity of the heir apparent she would, It is said, have already resigned Into his hands the reins of power. As it Is sue nas transferred to him some of the more latignlng duties of royalty, ana be has held levees and given receptions In ner stead. His death would most likely induce her to keep the throne until the Infant heir apparent should reach manhood. Should sue, however, persist in her purpose to resign the cares of state, or Bhould she herself die, a regency would nave to be established. Such a regency, however, could scarcely be verv popular. The Duke of Cambridge, who enjoys an unenviable reputation, or Prince Al fred, wuose visit to Australia developed many very unpopular traits of character, would probably be appointed regent. Either selection would be very unacceptable to the English people. We have thus briefly reviewed the consequences or the Prince's death, not that we believe he is already in extremit, although the telegram bulle tins are somewhat omnloua, and the words of tue attending physicians particularly cautious in tuelr expression, but because many Americans, unskilled in the mysteries of hereditary succession, might fairly be puzzled over tho possible results of such a contingency.
