THE SITUATION.
! The President is quite free in converse
4 ton with his friends on tho situation, but
has thus far abstained from expressing any
opinion as to what course he will pursue
when the new reconstruction bill, so-callcd
shall have become q law, further than to
give assurance that he will observe the OBJ
legations Of his oath to support, protect, and
defesd the Constitution. He has carefully
weighed the important constitutional qucs.
tons involved in the proposed measure, and
there is reason to believe he has determined
to maintain his own power and authority as
the chief Executive officer of the country,
and leave the responsibility for any difficulty
that may arise where it Justly belongs, to
wit, with the majority in Congress.
TIE MISSION TO gcUEDoR.
| The President will probably send to the
Senate early this week nomination to fil
tho vacancy now existing in the Ecuador
Mission. AS heretofore stated, Hon Thom.
as II. Ford, ex-it Lieutenant, Governor Of
Ohio, will probably receive the appoint.
