WASHINGTON, April Isl have it
from undoubted authority that dispatch
from this city to Northern newspaper
TO The effect that the President eontem'
plates an immediate called session OF
Congress is without the slightest fOunda'
ton. He is even anxious for an imme-
date adjournment OF the Senate. Many
OF the appointments which he desires to
make upon personal grounds are threat
ened with rejection, and he is now desi-
rous to test what virtue there really is in
the modified tenure of Office act.
The tccsin Of alarm sounded by the
sentineIs upon the watch tower or this
Metropolis has reached the ears, and
drawn the attention Of "the 6loated

would seem that Lhs nations creditors
are pewerless TO prevent collision
upon 3 gigantic scale. II appears TO

by = systematic system OF auD0yances
TO Droyoke the Governments of England
and Spain to demand reparstiOn, snd
thereby place the United States in the
attitude OF defense. For this purpose
our neutral obligations to those powers
will be practically ignored, filibussering
expeditions secretly encouraged, while
every attempt TO prevent their success
will be tortured by the Radical press into
50 many insults to cur flag aud country,
and serve TO exaspersts the people up to
tbs proper pitch for further and regularly
authorized aggressiJns. 1t Is IN vain
that the creditors Of the Government re-
mOnstrate. The negro question and the
hatred 10 the poor Southern people have
been worn tbfesdO6re ss elements OF
Radical power. We have heard great
deal about " military necessity There
Il now d civil necessity to keep the res
tive portion OF the Radical rank and file

Whale such IS 10 thus imprOvised Is con-
sidered adequate to the eIaeFgency.
Such an extraordinary state Of the
