Congress and the President Elect,


Congrsss and the President Elect
There Is an evident indisposition q
repeal the Tenure-of 0fice Act, This
il manifested BY the different attempts
10 modify il, instead Of voting squarely
upon the question Of repeal.
General Grant is thus assured, in
advance, Of Congressional distrust. And
this assurance will net be without its
effect upon the incoming President, who
viii be inspired with distrust Of Con.
eress, If he does not feel il already
We have ID directly from Washington,
from . source entitled to credenee, that
an open rupture between Congress aud
President Grant win be among the ear,
hest developments of his administra
ton. The extreme Radical wing Of the
Dominant party win be satisfied with
nothing short Of complete subserviency
on the part Of the new President ;--au
abject compliance with all their de.
MAIDS. General Grant, finding it i'm
possible TO please them without ID, viii
not be disposed to render them such
services, and thus the quarrel viii be
gin. He may then expect to be apath
ematized as traitor to the party which
elected him, and political migrate Of
the basest sort. He will thus find him,
self in the same category with Andrew
johnson, except that he viii not be SC
fully AVID completely in the power OIL
his enemies. He win be able to carry
with him all the more liberal and mod
crate men Of his party, and may count
on the support Of the Democrats, in all
questions wherein he may take Issue
with the Radicals. His enemies, there
fore, will be unable to exercise over him
the tyranny Of two-thirds vote 10 Con-
gress. In this respect be win be better
off than his predecessor, aud his admin
istration will escape much of the en-
barrassment which has attended every
step Of President Johnson's progress
But, he viii not 60 unscathed he will
be made to feel tho force Of party ma
levoIenee, and will have need of all the
firmness which is said to be a distin
gushing trait of bis character.
The Ne,s FORK World thinks il
'shardly possible that President should
have successful administration, who
does not combine the party leader with
the statesman and argues that Gen
Grant is neither. IL illustrates BY
pointing % the elder Adams, who was
the President, while Alexander Hamil
ton was the party leader. Adams ad
ministration was unpopular. On the
other hand the administrations Of lief
ferson and jackson were both very pop
ular, and they we're both the most
censummate party leaders We have evel
had. The World further says:
