The Iribnne's special says it has been am
bounced that the President is engaged ON the
message to Congress, to be presented at an
early day of the session, commencing on the

that Mr.. johnson has not commenced the
preparation Of such message, and that it is
not settled that be will communicate to Con-
gress at ali even, till some time during the
regular session. 1t should be borne in mind
that the November session can last but
eleven days, including Sundays, and that
there will be but nine working days before
the regular constitutional December session
commences.
The Presidents organ here will contain
Tomorrow an editorial article calling on
General Grant to define his position, and
state If he will be the available Democratic
candidate. This article is understood to be
prompted by johnson, who is taking lively
interest in the next Presidency, and who
openly announces himself decidedly against
Grant.

will successfully oppose the Hunncutt Radi-
calls.

that he was, from the first enyroned BY the
