of the usurpation by Congress of nearly all the

General Grant will be President. Congress
knows it, and to know ia to acquiesce. ' lO?~ .
The minority in the Honae m this important
rote ia nltra BadicaL The liberal* and the
Democrat* combined. Thia ia significant At
leaat on this question there has been a Grant
party formed out of the two parties of the
Honae. 'We do not sea but that pith reference
to the abandonment of other measures that hare
been employed to cripple Mr. Johnson the same
kind of division may take place. And will not
a few of such divisions stamp a dear impression
npontha political cha racter of Congress V That
just taken place uas upon a question of such
import that alone it must go far to settle senti
ments and combinations. The friends of Grant
mnat feel strongly the opposition of so Urge a
number of Radicals to the repeal of the tenure-
of-office bill, while Gen. Grant can infer from it
nothing leae than that they have by their votes
declared a want of confidence in him.
In aaying that General Grant will be Presi
dent of the United States, I believe I may add
that be means to be President of the union of

Military govatnment. lie is understood to have
expressed himself to thi* .atedtf If General
Grant, in pursuance of fhbr deshfe, Were to show
a liberal policy towards the now prostrate South,
and especially towards Virginia, a party would
be formed in tbe South to support him which
would be Ttottikable far its strength and har
mony. The eoioalled Republican party at the
Sonth, estimated by ita present numbers and
standing, U as nothing compared to the political
organization that might be so formed.
The Virginia eummittee are still assiduously
engaged in the proaeoutioa of the objects of
their mission here. They continue to be receiv

temperature is moderated, the ioe U melting,
and spring-time will be followed by summer, I
most earnestly lielieve.
Whether my hopes are realized in the fullest
degree or not, remains to be seen. I advise all
to expect not a great deal—they may be dis
appointed. But I will eay this, that the pres
ence of this Virginia committee in this city now,
is highly beneficial to us, and in doing a great
dsal to soften bitter feelings, and inculcate
kindly relations. They appear just as new pol

Now, as regards this matter, we are the cham
pion of neither side of the question. We are
under no obligations to take either side, except
ao far as tbe cause of truth and the public in-

[we think there ia an uncalled-for degree of ex-
Mtement on the subject, and apprehensions felt
| that are not justified by any peculiar character
of the transaction. It was a trade on a gigantic
scale, it is true, and somewhat calculated to star
tle by its very magnitude; but we doubt if the
very serious oonaequences anticipated by some
of onr brethren of the press will ever be realized.
We are as much opposed to monopoly sa tbe

should be separate and independent in their in

prompt and cheerful compliance with such re

established, under the following plan of opera
tions : Every member takes two shares at $ 1000
each, upon which he pays $1 * week. At th*
end of every month #2000 is tone collected, whan
the mambora draw lots for the privilege of using
the money in bribing * house. The winner
then has th* funds loaned to him for the pur-
poo*, and gives the society a mortgage upon the
building for the amount. Until the house be
comes finished, he pays at the rata of five per
cent., or $10a month, and after completion, at
the rate of ten per cent, or $20 * month, to
ward liquidating th* debt, dm from interoat.
