The Presidcns and Congress-Washin4ton
Movements and Rumors.

Movements and Ramors.
In view OF the reassemblinp OF Congress on
the 2lst inst, the members Of the two houses
are beginning to drop into Washington to look
up their winter quarters and compare notes in
reference to the prospects of the coming ses-
sion and the next Presidency. AT the same
time the newspaper correspondents are filling
the air with their flying rumors Of the move
ments OF the politicians to entrap or head of
General Grant; Of the intentions Of Mr.. John
son touching a reconstruction Of his Cabinet
and his treatment OF the radicals, and OF the
designs Of the radicals towards I" the man at
the other end Of the avenue"
Forney was terribly frightened not long ago
at the new militia organization of Maryland.
II was cat in the meal tub. Il covered
bloody design on the part of "an apostate
President to expel and disperse loyal
Congress by force Of arms, and to inaugurate
IN his name new rebellion as
the lineal successor Of JEFF Davis. But
Congressional investigating committee
having looked into the matter, aud no danger
being reported. we infer that no orders have
been Issued from General Schenck, of the
Executive Congressional Committee, to Cover
nor Fenton or Governor Geary TO be ready
with their "boys in blue" to meet the Maryland
'boys in gray" at moments warning. On
the other hand, it appears that Mr.. johnson,
from some misgvings in regard to certain un-
authorized military companies Of negroes,
"boys in black in Washington, has caused an
order TO be issued disbandng all such unlaw-
ful organic atoms in the District OF Columbia
so that all fears may be dismissed Of a negro
coup d'etat upon the White House.
Still. II appears that "by hook or by crook
Mr. Johnson has his plan for getting rid Of this
intractable radical Congress. He has made OF
procured regular uniform of the style oi

felt hat, one side turned up, short coat, long
waistcoat box breeches, cavalry boots, spurs,
heavy broadsword and ALTO wear some
day into the Long Parliament His plan
OF operations to this end Is not specified

in pushing the Tenure of Office law TO an issue

this matter, nor that Mr.. johnson will be re-
quired to put on his sword and buckler to de-
fend the dignity Of his Office against q suspen.

bumbugging them in this and 10 his threats o
resistance, or simply playing the game Of bluf
with the radicals.
We are informed that the President will no
present his annual message to the two house,
on The 2lst OF November. because he consider
this meeting a. nothing more than q rcsump
ton Of the first session OF the Fortieth Con
rrese. which met on the 4th Of March last--th,
July meeting and this November meet
ing being parts OF the same session
This view Of the matter seems Il
us correct: for the constitution says =
"The Congress shall assemble at least once Il
every year, and such meeting shall be on sh
nrst Monday in December, unless they shall b
law appoint . different dsy." Now. ~ III
