There sre many rumors current here in re-
gard to tue President and Congress. Some
say the President is getting uneasy at the
delay in reconstruction, especially as the
South is daily becoming more indignent and
rebellious.
The southern politicians, having nothing
else to do, are making mischief at home.
Some predict that breach between Con-
gress and the President is at hand. Others
laugh at any such idea, as preposterous.
There are those who believe that the Pres
ident is seriously considering the question,
whether he can retain in important offices
those men who are known TO be opposed to
his policy of reconstruction.
| Raymond is confident that in an appeal to
the people, the Presidents policy will be sus-
tanned.
The majority in Congress does not show
the least sign Of break. and it is believed
that the late Presidential statement ofopinion
has lessened the chances of the admission Of
the Tennessee delegation.
Mr.. Sumner takes bold position while
Wilson, though equally disposed to go against
immediate reconstruction, is willing to do all
he can to conciliate the South where no great
principles are involved.
Letters read by Mr.. Sumner in the Senate
yesterday show a very bad state of feeling in
the South, as Union men are being prescribed
everywhere.
