WASHINGTON. November H. 1867.
II appcars now 20 be very generally believed
that The nine days which viii pass betwcen
the time OF the adjourned meeting OF Con-
crcss and the first Monday OF the following
month will not be OF very great importance
nor he chara ctcrzcd by any event likely 10 be-.
come q,rominont in history. Thee time II
itself is hardly long enough for the members
of each political party TO mold 'ounscl 70
gether and agree upon line oil cofduct ioI
themselves and that certainly Is necessary
rs at present the leaders themselves are tar ~
n loss to determine Z line OF conduct Tor the
session. Heretofore. during Inc lsSt ana lht
preceding Congress, the Radicals have been
ALWAYS first on the floor With patches OF their
fayorite measures for early prrsen tation; bnI
il need not cause any surprise during The
coming session II very conservative measures
are not early present for consideration. Mr
Stevens has promised the Introduction OF two
or three OF his cherished ultra schemes, bu
beyond what that representative has asserted
he will advocate there i at present no ide;
as 70 what will be brought forward. II is ye
n question whether or not impeachment
will! be abandoned. The time has passed
for holding IL up rs .. measure 10 frighteI
any one and with the strong probability tina
several Of the members Of the House wht
were ready 10 give their assent to IT had
been brought forth during the July session
will now openly assert the danger OF agitatin!
the subject longer, there are grounds 10
believing that the whole matter will be ;tban
doned
There are several other measures also whcl
must go by the board. Stevens will be com
PEELED 10 abandon his theory Of con!scauo
Jey0,ad u doubt: and ii is not altogether impro
bable that before the end OF the session tn
suffrage question in the South, IL not The eh
tire reconstruction scheme, VIII be presente'
for modification by those who originally adNo
Gated it.
Some OF the Radicals are yet very outSpokcI
on the question OF impeaching the president
but the moderate men in the party rs strongly
condemn it, The Senate will be 4 great eel
on the lower branch OF Congress should ;
strong effort be made by the ultra leaders o
the latter to force 4 vote upon the measure 4
any rate.
on the subject Of paying the national debt il
greenbacks has caused no httle sensation
rs well as an alarming commotoH among
the members of his own party. Some
Of the prominent financial men in
the Republican party are particularly
severe upon him for having, as theT assert
put himself on record for repudlatlrS The
debt The finances are looming up now higher
and higher as the most distinctive feature OF
the session when well advanced, and the dlt-
fcrent views of members OF the dominant
party cannot be harmoniZ"d. ALREADY, as !
learn, several plans are being considered TO
adjust differences on the question, ana 1t may
be tina. before long we VIII have = conSoiId--
ton of the debt, the interest railing AT lonr
and half, five, or possibly SIX per cent
There is strong feeling that way among some
of the members of Congress and other promI-
ncnt men: but until III" matter is opened for
general discussion, il will he difficult to pre-
dict what particular line OF action Will be
agreed upon.
SpeculaIions with reference 10 the political
situation Of General Grant seem To have
ceased for 4 while. They were not found pa"-
1icularly profitable to any one. 1t does not
now appear TO be 50 general IN impression as
prevailed n week ago that the General com
manding the armies will be the Prcsiden tia.
nominee Of the Radical party Chase stock is
advancing. Perhaps Grant will be the nom
nae of national party--conserratircs under
anew name We Shall see TIMoN.
