reasons are founded in the marked lu,..

nation Of the whole scheme. On fire other
hand, it IS true that the St. Louis y ma.
crnt and the Cincinnati Gazette, sGuagy
urge the adoption of the report. Against
these two papers the almost una4mou.
voice Of Radical newspapers is against ID.
Members are too much afraid OF then own
full success.
The firm attitude which the President
announces in his message, which Wu be
given to Congress tomorrow, viii Also nav.
some weight. He declares in his message
that if the Legislative branch pa-s,, lass
aboliShing coordinate branch of the gov.
mnnt, that he shall assume the RESPONSE
bility, and save the lille OF the nation at
all hazards. The impeachcT3 who pro-.
pose to suspend the President from the
exercise of the functions Of his Office du-
ring trial, would do we'll to ponde- this
declaration. If Congress should attempt
a measure SO unjust, it viii perish, and al
its friends and supporters like the dew in
the morning sun. There are two thing.
that may be considered as settled, frs, tia,
there will be no impeachment, and second,
that there will be bloody civil war if
CO ordinate branch of the government j,
attached.
The very recent election which tool. place
in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, affords
proof that the Conservatives will carry that
State i'll the next election. Great Demo
cratic gains have been made in that town.
The pressure for the Austrian Mission
declined by Mr.. Greeley, is already bccop.
ing great. There are numerous men who
would like the place. 1t is thought That
sor1e eminent Conservative will be selected
for the position. The Chronicle O.. iii.
morning publishes letter from Mr. v. D.
McMullen, of your State, denying that Mr.
S. S. Ashley said that "every negro who
voted the Conservative ticket in North Ga.
DINA ought to be hung high as Hanaa.
1t makes no difference if he did, Conserve
tive negroes will not be hung. On tLa
contrary, if they associate their poItc..
power with decent white men, tAcy VII
lind themselves much better Off
Mr.. Robert J. Walkers great letter o.
the finances is out this morning Its
considered remarkably able document
and one that will attract much attention
There is general scare here about tie
Rinderpest, which has made its Appearance
in Fairfax county, Va. The attention q.
the authorities is called to the terrible
scourge.
The second session Of the 10th Congress
was called to order at noon to-day. The
joint Congressional Committee and the
Judges of the Supreme Court waited upon
the President at one o'clock.
S. NJ. Clark has been removed from TIE
Currency Bureau, and Cornelius Wendell
is to take his place.
It is believed that S. S. Cox, well known
at the South, will receive the Austrian
Mission.
Very truly yours,
