MONDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1866,
The Presiden, and Congress.


President Johnson, made on Thursday
and to which we have before alluded,
both Houses OF Congress proceeded with
the business before them on Friday with
a moderation and deliberation worthy Of
themagnitude OF their work, Never
theless there was an underCurrent oteX-
sited feeling and it was manifest that
some deeply absorbing subject was in
possession eC the thoughts of the mem
bers. In the Senate Mr.. FcSsenden re-
viewed the charges Of the President
against the Congressional Joint Com
mittee on Reconstruction, but made no
remark that could subject him to the
charge Of attacking the President. The
Joint Committee, he said, was organized
for the purpose Of making inquiries into
the condition of the Southern States.
1t is but a servant of Congress, nor can
It yet up its will against the will OF the
body which constituted it. 1t is hardly
.a.- to call US who are on that commit.
