Ivy. 10y The President and Cabinet off,
IT, torether with the chiefs of the differ
srnt Bureaus, are busily engaged In the
rrrparstion Of the annual message. and the
various reports, which will Ia oil proba-
bility be Id readiness for delivery imme-
diately upon the meeting Of both Houses,
two weeks from tomorrow. The anxiety
TO learn what the tenor Of the Presidents
message will be Is chiefly based upon the
idea that he will endorse either the consti-
tutional, amendment or the principle Of
universal amnesty and impartial suffrage
presented in the Senate last winter by
Stewart, Of Nevada, and fostered by Gree
ley. Our foreign relations have already
been very well defined; but as there is
nothing official, or even semi-official, which
has yet been given TO the public, with the
exception of the late proclamation regard
Ing Maximilian's blockade and the State
papers In, relation to Fenianism, Mr..
Stewards views, which will of course DO
presented in the message, and appear at
length Ia the diplomatic correspondence,
are looked for with great interest. pa
s The rampant Radical politicians, who
have been threatening impeachment and
many other revolutionary schemes during
the session near at hand, have their repre-
sentatives here who do not deny that they
will attempt some movement for the pur-
pose of thwarting the Executive in the dis
charge Of his official functions. General
Logan, who is AN advocate of strife, is moi
\ particle behind B. +. Butler in his asser-
lions as to what will be done when Con-
gress meets. They are both far more bla-
tant than Thad. Stevens, but 1t is very well
known that their part. in the proceedings
will succumb entirely to the veteran Radi-
cal from Pennsylvania. 1t is not thought
that these Jacobin elders will succeed in
their mission here, and 1t is very certain
that neither the President nor his friends
have any fear on the subject. He Is dis
posed to pursue an even tenor, and it is
said by parties competent of judging that
he will wage no war with Congress what
ever. This determination on his part will
have no effect In silencing his enemies.
For all the capital the President might
make by pursuing conciliatory policy
with Congress, he might as well have re-
moved every one of his opponents from in
influential and important official positions.
Their retention has not in the slightest parti-,
cular softened the antagonism of those who
are now anxious to remove him from office.
A dispatch from Paris, over the cable,
dated noon yesterday, reported the arrival
at that city of Major General John A. Dix /;
but as that gentleman is now in Washing
ton, the cable must have been very strange
sly manipulated. General Dix is now here
for the purpose of receiving his instruc-
tons, and II is probable will remain several
days, during which time he will be in con-
sultation with the President and Secretary
of State, not only with regard to the duties
Of his mission, but also with view of sub
hitting his views on the state Of the Union,
"blSH, IL sCCLuS, are luSlcu, toScthSt WIN
those of several other important officials,
who have been in this city for week past.
There seems to be a general desire on
the part of the Conservatives that Mr..
Greeley should be the successor of Hon.
Ira Harris, whose term in the United States
Senate expires with the present session.
This may operate against that gentleman
in the New York Legislature. The ldispo-
sition among the Radicals is understood to
be in favor Of more unyielding politician
than the editor of the Tribune. u.
The action Of certain leading Democratic
journals in advocating impartial suffrage is
a source Of much Radical discomfort and
uneasiness. That there is motive in it
foreign to their views they very well know.
1t will, in oil probability, lead theJacobins
to further extremities to save their Radical
reputation, and the wiser among them see
danger in present advance Of their dog
mas. TIM0N.
