P1ottInSss DC.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Chinese En-
bassy left here at noon to day for New York
causing momcntary ripple on the avenue, but
all was soon calm again.
Congress has adjourned, and the greater
evils are thereby, for a time, at least, avcrted,
but the Radicals here, as elsewhere, are work
ing like moles, alarmed at the prospect of de-
feat in November, and determined, if possible,
to secure the electoral votes Of the Southern
States. go.
A private meeting Of some twenty-five OF the
Southern Radical members Of Congress was
held here last night, for the purpose OF consul
tation as to the political situation, and to de-
wise means for future operations.
A number of Gen. Grants staff were present
by invitation.
It was assorted that the President was acting
at present under the impression that lmpeach-
ment would be revived at the September meet
ing of Congress, which was deemed essential,
and all present pledged themselves to use their
influence in accomplishing the ends desired
viz: the re.assembIipg Of Congress in Scptem-
Der and the Impeachment Of the President.
1t was further asserted that acting under this
belief, the President would not remove Com
missioner Rollins
The opinion was expressed that under the
orders issued from the War Department reor'
ganiziug the Military Districts in the South,
the Democrats would be likely to carry
the Southern States, which caused much gloom
and depression. Grants election was consider
ed necessary, and he must prevail or they are
lost-which loss none will feel except themselves.

Mr.. John Laird, the Englishman
who furnished the piratical corsairs
which proved on American commerce
during the rebellion, publishes in the
English papers correspondence he
had with Revcrdy johnson, showing
the origin and course of the friendship
that exists between them. Mr.. Laird
himself made the first advances towards
friendship, in October last, long before
the Liverpool banquet. Mr. Laird in
yited Mr.. johnson to Birkcnhead to
see his establishment, and to hear his
(Mr. Laird's) wishes for lasting peace
between England and America. Mr..
johnson, in his reply, regretted that
a lack Of time would prevent his accept
ance of the invitation, and added the
following words: Notwithstanding
YOU sympathized with my Southern
brethren during the war; shall have
much pleasure in making your acquaint-
ance, and hear your sincere wishes for
peace" The American people care
nothing for Mr. Laird's present wishes
for lasting peace between England
and America" wishes which he did not
carry into practice when he was fitting
out his Alabamas, and will be slow to
forgiye any American who chooses to
accept his friendship. The London
