WASHINGTON. Sept. IL, 1858.
Resistance 10 Federal Officers i'm Tennessee.
The Collector of Internal Revenue at Greenville,
Tenn, in letter to Commissioner Rollins says az
ter using every exertiOn in his power he has been
unable to successfully prevent the illicit distiation
OF spirits in that district. His deputy and other
sistants have In many instances OF late endeavored
to make seizures of Illicit distieres but have been
prevented sometimes by actual force and at others
by threats which, he is satisfied, would have been
carried out had they persisted in their undertaking.
The collector therefore asks for at least four hundred
mounted troops to assist in enforcing the law.
Radical Anxiety for Quorum Monday
The President on His Good Behavior.
The prospect for quorum in either house Of Con-
gress does not look very brilliant yet, and that
it has been decided to have a meeting for business
OH Monday the republicans, Senator's ana Reprosen
tatives are greatly concerned lest the absent men,
bers may not be duly impressed with the import
ance OF being present. Facts have been ascertained,
it is asserted, within the past few days which lead
them to believe that the President is only acting
his good behavior until he sees what Congress
means TO do on the 2ist. II the two houses ad-
joarned by their respective presiding officers until
December, they are convinced that the President
will break ground on two or three little plans
that he has already matured, the result OF which
will be confusion and loss to the party in the Novem
Der election. Some dissatisfaction Is expressed at
the language used by Senator Morgan and General
Schenck in their notice TO members to be present
Monday. They think that the statement sit is not
expected that general legislative business will he
entered intO' will have tendency to impress many
members with the idea that enough will answer the
call to secure quorum without their attendance.
If quorum should lot be present on Monday it has
been suggested that the necessity great enough to
require the minority TO adjourn from day to day
until members enough arrive TO enable them TO pro-
coed with business.
The Senate chamber and Hall OF Representatives
are nearly ready for occupancy. The winter furni-
ture has been replaced.
