Adjournment of Congress.

We had thought it settled that Congress
would adjourn this week, but the National
Iateuigencer of yesterday throws doubt upon
the subject. 1t says "there is wide mar
"gin of opinion touching the time when Con-
"gress will adjourn. Neither members nor
"obseryers are agreed. Some say satur-
day, some Monday next, and not few
insist that weeks will yet elapse before
Congress departs. Members are anxious
"to hurry up the President; but it is whis-
"pered that the President, considering how
"much time these individuals have fool
"ishly wasted upon impeachment, is not
willing to be hurried up by them, and
evil carefully consider oil important
"bills.
"Among the later schemes projected is
one said to emanate from the carpet-bag-
"gers in Congress, who object to adjourn
L" ing at all, and say that if Congress does
adjourn, there must be an assemblage
"proyided for on the LIST of October next.
"This they deem necessary in order to
"overawe the South and coerce the vote for
"GRANT and CoLFAX. The old senator's and
"members have great contempt for the
"carpet-baggers individually, which, out
g of their presence, they take no pains to
conceal; but they are afraid openly to
"defy their suggestions, and Congress will
"probably adjourn in the manner thus in
"dicated." @

The Negro VS.. the White Man,

1t has been repeatedly stated in the Rich
mond papers, and Mayor CHAHooN's own
certificate to the same effect was published
to prove the statement, that white men Of
good character and standing have been dis
charged from the police force of this city
for no other reason than that they were op-
posed to the Radical party. The New York
Tribune has never had word to say upon
this subject. 1t is all right for respectable
white men to be turned out of employment
because they are Conservatives. But the
Tribune sings another song over the scala
wags of Mississippi. 1t publishes an arti-
Gle headed /" Freedmen turned out of place
for voting the Republican ticket" and de-
clares that this act shows "what sort of
freedom !" the Democrats will leave the ne
groes at they haze their e0ay." In other
words, white men ought not 10 be allowed to
discharge their negro employees though en-
gagged only upon private business, but car

HARDLY.--A telegram sent from Wash
ington to the New York World represents
that THAD STEVENS "says in private what
she has said in public, that he regards the
" New York platform and nominations as far
stronger than the Chicago platform and
nominations. He is disguised with his
"party, their candidates, and their pro-
"gramme." We can't credit this story.
THAD may be very unwell, and disposed to
repent; but he hasn't got that far yet.
