WASHINGTON, August %, 1869.
The hot weather which we are passing
through is Of itself n sure guarantee ia
those away from the capital that no news
ri any sort is stirring and, combined with
the absence of all the dignitarics, it would
nc n matter Of astonishmcnt If ANYTHING
should turn up.
The Tcnncssccans here "a goodly number

will remain until Boutwell, returns to Wash.

deaf Of the Federal Offices in that State.
They attribute their recent defeat to what
they call " Brownow'S defcction." Stokes
will cndcav0- to have matters arranged 50
rs to satisfy the defeated candidates, him
self included, The impression among the
Tennessee men here of all political shades
Is that Andrew Johnson will certainly come
TO the Senate, while some Of the strong per-
sonal friends OF the latter think that he
could we'll afford to retire to private life af-
ter having worn the laurels of distin-
cuishcd patriot for so many years, and,
without limiting AT any dement's in the cx-
President. really think that Tennessee
would derive more advantage from the
choice of some other Of her distinguished
sons who have figured less prominently in
the late scenes Of political strife than Mr.,
Johnson.
Encouraging letters from Conservative
sources in various parts of the country con-
tinuc the assurances of success to that party
which have reached here. In Pennsylvania
the extreme Radicals are very much dis
hcartcncd. The campaign in Massachu-
sets will also wax lively, and the ultras
have an uphill road to travel in that State.
4 letter from Cincinnati states that the in
dications there for n most brilliant cam
rairn on the part of the Democracy are
extremely favorable.
There will not, probably, be any reduction
Of the public debt during the present
month Very heavy disbursements have
been paid out on account Of pensions, and
the receipts, although well up to the average
both from customs and internal revenue
sources, have not been sufficient TO cover
the amounts disbursed.
Intimations which have been given out to

Of Congress to provide for the removal OF
the capital naturally excite the fears Of a
number of timid property here, and
renders business duller in reality than il

moving the capital should cease. There is
10 danger of its removal in this day and
generation.
Very few speculations are INDUCED
concerning what important moves will
be made upon the national chess

inqton, August 24.-From latest informa
ton received by Acting Secretary of TIL
Treasury Richardson it appears there is n
prospect Of the immediate printing of cur
rency notes by the bank-notc companies
that have contracted to do the work.
Colonel Stokes gives it as his opinion thai
the Legislature Just elected in Tennessee
will refuse to ratify the fifteenth amend
ment 10 the Constitution notwithstandin:
promises made by Governor Scnter to TIL
contrary. This, however, is said to be pu
out by Stokes for the purpose of exciting
the Administration against the successful
party in Tennessee. Stokes wants to create
the impression that the Senter party vii
rcyolutionize the State and array itsel
against the General Government.
1t is the opinion Of the best-informec
Radical politicians that Stokes's mission
here will be fruitleBS one, so far as his
alleged object is concerned; but Stokes says
he will make an earnest appeal to the Pre-
sidcnt, when he arrives here next week
for his interference. This cminently Radi
cal proposition is pooh-poohed by all bu
the rule-at-any- wing of the Radical
PARTY: and none but such blind and un
scrupulous politicians as these for mo
ment entertain the idea that Congress OF
the Administration has any more Jurlsdlc
ton over the subject than they have oye1
elections to take place in Ohio and Penn
sylvana in October.
The proprietors of the title OF the de1unc'
National fateHigencer announce that they
cypect to be able TO renew its publication
next full. They say that they will wait
until that time because the Intervening
summer months will not furnish business
enough to support them. When the busy
season, or, in other words, the session OF
Congress, begins, they expect to be able to
revive the paper on paying basis.
Financially speaking, Washington mas
never approached nearer to a general &C col,
lapse than during the past two months. The
reduction of the clerical force of the several
departments of the Government added to
the departure Of the lobbyists, who spent
