The Fuso af Washiugt0u.
President johnson has stirred up Q regular
hornets nest among the politicians at WASH
ington, and the newsmongers rejoice exceed
ingly. "Here's richness" says one, as he
energies from the White House; and "there's
pretty kettle Of fish for Andy" says another,
pointing to the War Once. We are assured
that there ia an irreconcilable rupture between
General Grant and the President, and that the
General within few days will retire in dis
gust. We are consoled with the information,
too, that between Grant and Johnson there is
and has been no quarrel. that the abiding affec-
ton of Damon and Pythias exists between
them, but that Randall and Grant in the audi
ence chamber have had some high words on
the Presidents proclamation, and then again
that they have not. We ore again advised that
get their walking papers, but that Mr.. johnson
cannot do everything at once. We are told that
Jerry Black, Bobby Walker, "a man named
Sawyer" and other democratic and secesh ring
leaders, have possession of the Blue Room, and
that the democratic politicians are holding
high carnival in all the oyster cellars of Penn
sylvania avenue, in anticipation of general
clearing out of the radicals; that there is loud
cry for the heads of Seward and McCulloch, and
that bets offered on McCulloch's early removal
find no takers that Andy johnson has taken
the bit in his teeth, and will astonish the
Yankees by his deeds of daring, beginning
with proclamation of amnesty and pardon to
nearly all the rebels of the South.
In the next place, it likewise appears that
while the Washington hotels and restaurants
are lively and busting with democratic Office
seekers and unrecOnstructed traitors, radical
Congressman are dropping in quite freely, and
that, judging from their active movements,
they are bent on mischief; that Schenck,
Spalding and Welker, Of Ohio, Cook, Of Illinois,
and others, are in earnest conclave, and that
Forney, in the full panoply Of paint, beads,
grizzly bear claws and eagle feathers, is on the
war path +; that the proposed grand council of
the radical State Governors on the 18th will
probably be held in Washington; but that
Andy Johnson is not to be frightened by such
Chinese thunder. Finally, it is limited that,
failing to get General Grant over to his side,
after the fashion Of Charles the Second with
General Monk, Johnson will have the support
of the rebel militia of Maryland in the expul-
sion of Congress, d Ia Cromwell, la Napoleon
the First and Napoleon the Third, and that he
will act with the emphasis of General jackson.
These are among the startling and conflicting
details which make up the existing muss and
oh; c~ko ~ md
mongers The whole squabble resolves itself
into the final conflict between President and
Congress for the government Mr.. Johnson has
the interval till the 2lst Of November to work
out his scheme of resistance. Then, with the
meeting Of The two Houses, the fur and fea hers
will begin TO Hy, and the Hon. James will,
perhaps, be called upon for his round million
of johnson volunteers to march upon WASH
ington for the seizure of "Old Thad Stevens"
and his followers, and for the re-establishment
Of the bred Scott constitution, according to
which niggers have no rights which white
mau il bound to respect
Now, if the masses Of the people Of the
loyal States were fools enough to be frightened
by all this fuss and fury at Washington, we
should be even now in the midst of a revOlu-
ton and the worst confusion. But the great
body of our Northern people, after fighting
and putting down the most formidable and
desperate rebellion in history, are not to be
alarmed by these Washington scarecrows.
Our sensible and practical 6nanciers, mer-
chants, manufacturers, mechanics, farmers and
professional men, are simply becoming dis
gusted with these Washington clamors, as with
the cackling Of geese and the braying Of
donkeys. The country wants respite from
these noisy politicians-it wants to 60 to work
and repair the damages OF the war. The fall
season of business is upon US, and business in
all our streets and byways is now the order o.
the day. The Washington politicians may
continue to bray and cackle o7er their dis
coveries of dark plots and bloody schemes
but the business people Of the country have
no time just now for such nonsense, for they
have other 6sh to fry.
