NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Though tn
cable despatch of the 18th was explici
in the statement that General Dix hat
arrived in Paris, there is no doubt tn,
reporter was at fault. and the true state
,nent should probably be that the famil,
only of the Generals had arrived.
The railraad track between American
mud Fulton streets, was removed yes
terday, Mayor Hoffman having ISSUED
an order 10 that effect.
The report that Gen. Grant opposed
the reinstatement of Sweeney is abso,
lutely false. On the contrary General
Grant desired General Sweeney to ne
promoted to a higher grade than the
one he formerly held i'll the army.
Tie statements made to-day ny
number of leading representative men
of both Republican and Democratic
Darties tend TO confirm the few intima-
lions that have leaked out from the re-
cent consultation at the White House
that the President is on the eve of a
grand coup de ctdt, that will crafty his
friends and bewilder his enemies. 1t is
safe to conclude at the very least that
there is an earnest desire on both sides
10 settle upon some feasible plan OF Sc
curing harmonious action between Con-
gress and the Executive.
On the same subject the Tribune has
the following: Mr.. Chase's first inter
view with the President was merely to
give the latter some injudicial matters.
The second interview was merely a
friendly one, and Judge Chase took &C.
casion to advise Mr.. Johnson to depart
from his present policy and urge the
Southern Legislatures to adopt the con-
stitutional amendment as final settle
ment of the present difficulties; that in
case they object to the second and third
clauscs of the amendment to compro-
mise by substituting universal amnesty
and impartial suffrage. Not only has
Judge Chase urged this course on the
President, but so also have several
prominent men of his own party from
both the North and South.
Whethertho arguments and the facts
on which they are based will change
the course of the President, remains TO
be seen. A couple of Democratic Con-
greSsmen who lately cOnversed with
Mr.. Johnson, state that he has no idea
of altering his present policy and claim
that the elections have had no effect eX
cept to make him more determined i'll
his old plans. They claim, with what
truth is uncertain, that he insists that
the people were hoodwinked and de
luded, and will soon begin to see their
mistake and adopt his views.
The Times has the following: Mr..
johnson has not indicated his purposes
relative to the amnesty suffrage plan
contained in these dispatches on Friday
last, though the gentlemen who advo-
Gated the proposition represent that the
President has given them encourage
ment to expect that he will adopt their
suggestions, substantially if not exactly
in the words they advise. Several news
paper correspondents have endeavored
to create doubts of the existence of snch
combination of leading men for the
purpose of inducing the President To
accept the proposition and advise the
Southern people also to accept 1t III or
Ger to put ut rest any such donbts.
am enabled to say from personal knowl-
edge that such combination does exist.
4 number of the gentlemen cooperating
III il have had interviews with Mr.. |
and they have been laboring
III the matter for about 4 month, visit
ing and corresponding with the iniiu-
entail men of the North and south.
The Posts special says facts divulgcd
to-day show there is little hope that the
President will recommend impartial
suffrage in his message to Congress. lie
will stand with Mr.. McCulloch on tinan-
cial questions. Several Republicans
were removed from office last week.
The Commercials Washington special
saws: 1t is confidently expected that
the Reconstruction question will be
amicably settled early in the approach
ing session of Congress; negotiations
for that purpose are in progress between
the President and leading politicians OF
all parties in the North and South. The
basis of settlement will be universal
suffrage and general amnesty. The
President partially aSsents to this prop
Osition but he insists upon constitutional
grounds that the question OF suffrage
properly bel ongS to the respective
States, and SO far adverse to any action
of Congress upon that subject. If as
surances can be obtained from south
ern leaders of the speedy adoption of
universal suffrage the President will
waive his objections. In the proposed
bases of settlement he contemplatcs the
amendment of the constitutional amend
ment rs a condition to Southern repre-
sanitation.
