CnIoAGo, Sept. 25.-Thc Detroit
Tribune publishes a significant letter
form Senator Howard. referring to what
the Washington Intetiyencer said, that
Senators who have expressed their con.
yioiions beforehand shall not sit in judg-
ment upon the President. Howard says
il is generally understood that that paper
is under the patronage and control of
johnson, and immediate advisers; and ip
view of the military preparation now 90.
ing on in Maryland and other border
States, such threats cannot be regarded
as buncomb. They originate in pur.
pose on Johnson's part TO attempt vio-
lenee upon Congress. They become
dcepened and intensified under the malig-
nant influence of his private advisers.
Howard says Congress will do its duty,
and rely upon the people to protect it.
The assault on Congress by military VIC.
lence would have decidedly beneficial
effect on the Government, as leading to
the final conclusion and suppression Of
the rebellion by the condign punishment
of their tormentors.
