Q D. WASHINGTON, July 20, 1863. i
1t begins to be very generally belieVed
that Congress will meet here again in Sep
,nnber for a session of some length, even
,bouch it shall call members away from the
cxc;.ement of the Presidential campaign,
which by that time will have becomesqulie
active What is to be done unless the ar ,
dent advocates for another impeacnheh'
trial, including the impetuous carpet-oae
gers, succeed in bringing in new articleS' IS
entirely hidden from the observation OF
those not initiated in the secrets OF the pr1-
yste caucuses which have been held Of late
bv these parties. One senator, before he
left washington on Tuesday last, remarked
that if anything happened during the re-
cess to make another trial Of the President
necessary FIVE days would suffice to accom-
p!ish all the Radical party wanted-and no
doubt it would. The signs Of the times Ger
tainly indicate disposition on the part OF
leading Radicals TO get together here with
full power before the Presidential election !;
but what they will do is not spoken.
The proceedings Of those who want the
southern States to choose their electors by
the Legislatures are being closely scrutl-
nized. Few doubt that they will succeed,
rs it is intended by them to make despe-
rate efforts to carry their ticket In the
South. Should those States 60 for Seymour
it would dctract very much from the I'm,
portance of their so-called senators and
representatives here.
In this connection il cannot be unlnte-
resting to state that reports are still Dclne
received here from the West OF the most
gratifying kind for the Democracy. Ihe peo-
nile there are paying little heed to the names
of the candidates. 1t is the fair and square
platform that is enlisting support from all
classes. A letter received here yesterday
from Michigan, written by cool, calcula-
ting politician resident in that State, ex-
presses the conviction that the Radicals
will have the hardest kind of uphill work
there in the fall elections. Some of the
most obServant Seymour men here have put
that State on the list Of those which will 20

1t is very hard to get at the truth of the
various rumors about the office Of Commits
soncr of Internal Revenue. All we posi-
lively know is that Rollins is still there :;
and what further is going on, no one seems
to know. Early this morning the Secretary
Of the Treasury was ut the Executive man.

Johnson, which started the reports about
removals. appointments, and designations
designations qualified and not qualified),
fying as thick as they were in the days OF
Stanton. Nothing came of it. Mr.. Rollins
persists in his assertion that he wants to
retire from the Office, and 1t is considered
by those who want to see change rather
hardship that his Radical friends compel
him to play the role Of Stanton.
Nothing official has been heard from
General Grant for several days. lie is still
supposed to be smoking his cigar IN the
vicinity of Denver.
General Stoncman was at the headquar-
tcrs of the army to-day, where he was re-
ceivcd by General Rawlings.
The Investigations which were to have
been made by a select committee OF the
Senate with regard to the conduct of certain
senators in connection with the impeach-
mcnt trial amount absolutely to nothing.
No investigations were made, and the whole
subject has died out. TIM0N.
