Seems to lie in the probable failure of
Congress to meet in September. No one
who watches with close attention the
characteristics of "My Policy" daily
made manifest here and in the South,
can fail to observe that the fear of a
meeting of Congress in September IS the
most potent of all linstrumeptaltties to-
ward keeping quiet both the White
House traitor and the rebel Democracy
generally. Johnson is simply laying
low and keeping quiet until the impor-
tant 2lst OF September Is passed. 1t is
equally ascertain that after that date
lECopgress not having met-the en-
tire rebel programme VIII nave chang
ed. One striking evidence of the
rebel spirit Is seen in the deter
mfnatfon OF the rebels of Mississip-
pi to nominate an electoral ticket,
inidelance OF law, on the 22d OF Sep
tember, should Congress fail to assenl-
BILE. Had It not been for the fear that
impeachment would follow the meeting
of Congress, and that dts assembly in
September would follow the removal
of Mr.. Rollins, that officer would long
since have been suspended. and Ed.
Cooper, or some other plant tool, would
have received the 1d interim appoint
ment, One thing is certain: II quo
rum does not assemble at the Capital on
the 2lst ult., and at least provide forIa
X
necessity, Rollins will be suspended
aud the whole patronage of the Internal
Revenue administration be used cor
ruptly TO influence the Pennsylvania
election. DC. 5-.iss -ss1i..s. ltly,.-s : q
Already we see evidences of john
sons determination to- aid Seymour
and Blair to the utmost The new sys-
tenn required under therecent Tax law
is at q stand. still, because McCulLuch
desires an equal number of appoint
ments with Rollins, though the law
gives to the Commissioned the power
of nomination. The Secretary desires
to use the patronage for the Democratic
condidate's benefit, Mr.. Rollins;wants
to use it for thebenenefit of the revenIie.
Secretary McCulloch, on Saturday, abb
soluteIy declined to appoint any of the
persons recommended by Commtssio n
7er Rollins, unless he could dictate the
names OF an equal number. This Is
said 10 be in pursuance of determining
tion on the part of the President, and
those members of the Cabinet who side
with him, to give more active support
to Seymour and Blair.
There are indications that the infu-
ence of the Post Office Department will
be exerted in the same direction and
it is understood that Mr.. Randall,
factory to himself with the Democratic
leaders, is to give his personal counsel
in regard to the organization of the
party and the conduct of the campaign
in the Northwest.
Again, there is great responsibility
resting upon Congress, which no sell
fish interest will justify Representa-
tives and Senators in evading. The
lives of the loyal millions of the Sout b
are, to a certain extent, In their keep
ing. To-day they are being murdered
by hundreds, and their property de-
stroyed or confiscated. One month
from now, Congress having failed to
meet, the soil of the South will be
soaked With blood. All protection has
been removed from these people, while
their enemies, thirsting for their blood
are thoroughly armed and bent on their
destruction. The duty of protecting
the helpless and OF preservlIlg peace
rests with Congress, and that duty
must be religiously discharged, Fur
thermore, It will be the most fatal
blunder of the struggle, If Congress fail
to. meet on the 2lst OF September, in
order to ithWart the purposes Of des-
perate Executive, and more desperate
rebels, who are making their last strug-
gle for supremacy.
