Aspec,s and Prespeet.

Horace Greedy having returned from
Washington, where he had a long inter-
view with the President, writes as follows
in the Tribune:
We spent the latter part Of last week at
Washington, anxiously inquiring into the
political situation, and seeking to measure
the probability Of the rumored breach be-
tween the President and Congress touch
ing Southern restoration" or recon-
struction !" and we believe most Of our
readers will share the satisfaction with
which we announce our conclusion that
thele need be, and probably will be. none.
What maladroit. or malignant, or tale
bearing Intermediates may achieve, we
cannot foretell ; but we are confident that
there is no necessary incompatibility be-
tween the views and purposes of Congress
and those Of the President, and no desire
at least, no p~reponderant desire-on
either hand to create such incompatibility.
And we feel sure that frank, earnest,
kindly conferences between the Capitol and
the White House will speedily and almost
certainly remove any obstacles which may
seem to exist to a cordial and thorough
cooperation.
Let us briefly set forth the chief elements
Of the problem to be solved:
Tho President earnestly desires and
urges the restoration Of the Southern
States Z their former position in the
Union and in Congress. In his view
those States have never been out Of the
Union since they were seyerally admitted

any power to take them out. he would

Congress. on is part. desires, first, that
the restoration Of power to the South, or
Of the South to power, shall not involve
or draw after IL the power of merely white
washed rebels to repudiate the national
debt, or impose the rebel debt on the loyal
States, or on the loyal people Of any State.
or. in combination with their sympsthix-
era in the North. to pervert the authority.

an instrument Of vengeance 70 be welded
oy those who would have destroyed the
Union against those who lavished blood

y resolved that they shall not win by

Secondly, il feels a solemn Obligation to
