WASHINGTON, November 2, 1866.
As would naturally DO expected, there
is the greatest interest expressed nsre IN
the result Of tho issue which mas seen
brought about between the Conseryauves
the bold stand taken by Governor Swami
in removing the police commissioners.
II is not believed that any serious disorder
will manifest itself on election day, now
that II is known TO certainty that the
forces Of the Government will be called
upon to preserve the peace. have heard
prominent Radicals assert that riot Is the
last thing to aid their party prospects, and
for that reason are rather severe in their
denunciations Of Forney, who seems alone
to have the glory Of being the prime reyo-
lutionist. The telegraph, Of course, will
give MS immediate ncws of any outbreak,
and the Government will be prompt to
suppress it. The programme advocated by
tho friends Of the new commissioners is
somewhat changed. They are certain Of
tho requisite majority in the next Congress
to expel any Conservative member who,
in their estimation, merits expulsion, and
with this knowledge many Of the leaders
are disposed to allow the new commission
ers to exercise their functions, reserving to
themselves the right to say who and who
shall not be admitted to their seats in the
fortieth Congress. If the application by
the new commissioners for q writ Of man.
daauts is urged before the Superior Court,
the case will 60 over until after the cleo
ton: but whether the Governor will sub
init to have his decision delayed in that
manner is yet to be proved. 1t Is Idle,
however, to speculate upon this matter.
The wires will probably furnish definite
conclusion to the whole subject before
Monday morning.
The multitude Of c0njectures as to the
policy of the Government with regard TO
Mexican affairs seem to have died away.
1t seems astonishing that in the absence OF
the slightest shade of official confirmation
they should have reached the length they
did. 1t is not in the least probable that
ANYTHING thoroughly reliable and definite
will he known before the meeting Of Con-
gress.
There is not now so much talk about I'M
peaching the President as there was few
weeks ago. The grounds for such action
are found TO be insufficient in the eyes OF
the majority of the House Of Representa-
tiyes. This is so stated by influential men,
bers Of the Radical party, who would
willingly take part in trial, but who
would much rather have some overt act to
work upon. There is no doubt that if,
under the present circumstances, an at
tempt should be made to deposc Andrew
johnson, he would resist the illegal process,
and this would bring on civil war in the
North. The backgrounds would not
again be in the South, but in the rich val
leys of Pennsylvania, where the parties
are almost evenly matched in Maryland,
where the spark OF strife is already
ignited; and in the West, where passion is
rampant, there would be dire and awful
proceedings. These things arc TO be well
weighed, and it is a source of congratula-
tion that they are being considered more
in their proper light now than few weeks
ago. Everything seems in allegiance at
present, waiting for the result in, New
York. That State will, of all others where
elections are to bc held next Tuesday,
exert an influence in determining the fu-
ture Of the country.
Reports still continue to be received at
the office of Indian Affairs containing con-
dieting statements with reference to the
red men on the western frontier. Very
little reliance is placed upon the majority
of the stories which are received. Private
advices from Fort Laramie state that al
Indian war is imminent on the border, and
that in the great majority Of instances
where wrong and outrage have been CON-
mitted white men have been the aggressors.
The written report Of Lieutenant General
Sherman on the subject of our Indian rela-
tons is looked for with great anxiety. II
will shape the policy Of the Government
towards the Indians.
The November weather thus far has been
clear and bracing. Pennsylvania avenue
this afternoon is thronged with crowd Of
both sexes, and the display of fall fashions
is radiant. Business seems to have revived
under the pleasant influences. TINoN.
