WASHINGTON, March 81, 1870.
Your correspondent has had interviews
with prominent official in the treasury
department which resulted in Trustworthy
information on point heretofore in doubt,
namely, the Submarines Of the president.
this official is a s.alwart of the severest
kind, one WHO has disagreed with the pres
ident on his southern policy, you can
state to the public this official says,
that the Republicans can take hope and
the Democrats warning that the president
is fixed in his determination to stand out
against the repeal OF the federal election
laws at whatever cost" This official is IN
high gicc at the prospect, and is treasured
by the fact which has not been before
stated | believe. that for the first time
since this administration came into power
the members are a unit in sustaining
the president in his proposition to
veto any measure that contains the
proyosed political legislation. Even
Key is in dead earnest" according to
this enthusiastic radical official, in the pol

and Thompson, they have renewed their
allegiance to the stalwarts and changed

the Democrats, in case the appropriation
bills with the political attachments are We
toed, propose to take recess until the week
before the beginning of the rcgular session
in December, upon the supposition that,
Congress still being in session, construc.
lively could not again be called in
extra session as in case it should
adjourn The president has canvassed this
matter according to my informant, and has
taken the advice o. his cabinet upon it.
They decide unanimously that this can not
defeat the purpose Of the administration in
obtaining means to run the government
machinery. The president will at once
call another meeting to take place previous
to June SETH the close of the fiscal year,
ana he says that the mn"'La~o '",'-. ,--s...

A little sign Of waycring was exposed in
