Impending Conflict Between Congress and tbe President Impeachment to be Attempted at the Heit Session The President Resolved to Iteslst He will Prorogue Congress And Declare Them In BcYOlutlon. Correspondence of the N. T. Herald. Washington, Bept. 12. There never was a time when tbe national capital was more lull of startling I uinorn, and when nei.mitlons were to be bad more filenttfully than at tbe prMeut time. Every day ibere a noine new excitement turning up wulcn ko-pi newspaper men in a ferment and throws tbe public Into the height ol expectation and auxletv. Tbe tact Is, there is a bence political storm brewing. All the Indication point that way Hud show that the Strife between the President and CouxrtfHS, which has bceu growing aud Increasing dully, must Soon hurst out Into something more .serious thau mere wordy clashes, something worse than threats aud vitupera tion. On one side Is a President unshaken in his convic tions of hiB rights ad dunes as the Chief Executive Of the nation, and determined to protect his preroga tives from tho encroachments ol Ui'ine he calls the enemies ot the constitutional Government aud rt-tionftl freedom. On the other is a Cougress ad mitted by lis leaders to be aiming at power aud influ ence ' outside the Constitution." and appurently de ter mined to brush away every obstacle to the success ot their Ohject, even to the length ol Impeaching and removing a constitutionally elected President, if these two contending powers are In earnest, there is, indeed, a dark prospect ahead: fresh trials and tribu lations are in store for the nation, and there is abnn daut cause tor the gloomy forebodings and apprehen sions expressed by the conservative element of the country. In tbe confusion and excitement of tbe hour It Is no easy matter to get at the bottom of tbe plots and couuteri lotB that are said to be hatching; It Is dlUlcuit to separate tbe truth from mere romance and fabrica tion, and decide bow much to believe and now much to castaway es the inventions of alarmists aud can ardists. Much of what is mysteriously circulated Is but the wiliest imagining; much more is what Is pur posely thrown out to note the effect on the popular mind; but a good deal more bus some solid founda tion. THE 1MPKACIIERS IN EARNKST. After carefully striving to get at the truth, so far as the controversy netween Cougress and tue President Is conoernee, 1 have arrived at the conclusion that both Congress and the Pr sldeut mean muchief. The radicals intend to press impeacument at the next meeting of Cougress, and the Presldeut is firmly de termined to resist it vi el irau, l- using all the power and agents under bis control. The radical leaders bave come to the conclusion that tbe President is resolved to carry out reconstruction on terms least oppressive to tbe conquered sout hern people, and least In sympathy wiiu toe Congressional negro supremacy plan. They neileve his purpose to be to restore the disfranchised white iu the bourn te all theli rlghil as citizens, ami particularly that ot sui. rage, 01 whicu they are deprived under the present system of registration. Tney believe he will employ tbe whole power of the Executive to carry out this his policy of saving mil lions of intelligent whiles from the domination of an inferior, Ignoraut, and but hull-civilised class, so receully delivered from the bonds of slavery and suddenly invested with the rights ot freemen. Tuey see in the execution of his plan me destruction ot tne means by which tbe great Republican party designed tocoutrul the South aud extend their own lei.se ot power and patronage, at the sacrifice ot patriotism, Justice, and every right principle. Observing all this, they are naturally enger for nis removal, and now clamor for impearhuieut with louder voice and greater zeal than formerly. i hey point to the setting aside of Stanton, Sheridan, and Bickles; to the lately issued amnesty proclama tion; to the proclaiuaiiou warning ail civil and mili tary officials to regard the Constitution and ober the mandates of the bupreme Court; to the order served on all the subordinate ot tue Government telling them to take cognizance ot these proclamations and urge that all these acts and steps are but a purtota deliberate plan ot the President to set Cougress at de fiance and place himself iu hostility to the Recon struction laws, on ib theory mat tney are unconsti tutional and void. They ask, Whut will be the result If we do not In time check all this, and place Johnson where be can no longer obstruct usor violate the laws we Pave passed over all his vetoes? Taking It lor granted that the radical leaders are In earnest, and ma. all their loud threats are not mere idlo boastings, It becomes a matter of interest to know bow the President will act in the event of his at tempted Impeachment. WHAT THS PRESIDENT WIIX DO IF IMPEACHED. I am reliably Informed that be will regard the action of Congress as revolutionary. The radicals having abandoned the idea of trying him fer high Crimea andmisdemeanors, aud Justifying his impeach ment merely on the ground that he Is, In tne lan guage ol Butler, an "impediment" to reconstruction, lie will not recognize their proceedings as legal or constitutional, and will pay no respect to their re solves and determinations. Should articles of Impeachment be presented, and a resolution passed suspending Mi-. Johusou and pro hibiting him irom exercising the iuncilous of Presi dent, should Wade be choseu to act as Presldeut mt interim, and, armed with this color of right and law. Command Johnson to vacate the White House and turn over to him all the property, papers, etc., per taining to the executive ofllce, I have reason to be - lieve that Mr. Johusou will decllue, aud defy Con giess to do its worst. Tbe President's view of tbe matter is said to be this: Each of the three great branches of the Government is lor Itself the Judge of the constitutionality or a law. Congress. In the first place, Is a Judge. It passes a law according to constitutional forms by the requisite majority over the President's veto. Accordiug to tbe Constitution it can on y legislate on certain subjects. Well, the law Is passed and it comes to the President for execution. lie is Bworu to laithfiilly execute his oillce, aud "to preserve, protect, ana defend tne Con stitution of the United biatee." Who is to determine (for him whether the law passed by Congress does not conflict with the Constitution he is sworn to defend? If be considers it clearly iu violation of the Couslltu- tiou, is be not under the most solemn obligation t refuse to enforce It? tit Is contended by some that the more usual mode Is for tbe President to assume a law constitutional until otherwise declared by the Hupreme Court. Tnis the Piesldent considers only applies to doubtful cases; but where the conflict with tue Constitution Is clear and undoubted tue P' esident considers it is bis duty to decline lis Intorcoment altogether. Appiylnii this to Impeachment, the following la tbe re-m.t: Congress passes articles of impeachment, suspends tbe Piesldent, aud order his arrest. The alleged ollense is that he refuses to enforce tbe laws which be honestly believes to be in antagonism with the Constitution. IMl'KACHMKNT 0B POLITICAL OVi'KNBB BEVO I.UTION. Be takes one view of the law, Congress another. Be boids that he can only be removed on "couvlc tion of treasou. bribery, and other Ulijli crime aud misdemeanors." He holds t at a mere dill -renceot opinion as to the constitutionality ot a law betweeu himself and Cougress is neither treason, bribery, nor other high crime nr misdemeanor. He h lls, there fore that be cannot be Impeached, suspended, or removed from ollice. Bit WILL PB0B0OUB CONGRESS. Congress luststs be can. Then, be considers, Con gress places lluell In an attitude if revolution. It thus violates the Constitution by atteuipilug to usurp the executive power, aud must be put down. How will this be doue T The Preiidenl, acting for the bent interest of the couulry, aud deeuilug .nesalety of tne republic lu danger, will Waue a proclamation pro rouulnir Congress, calling for an election of uew members, anu luvoklng tne aid of the people to sus tain blm. ibis. I am assured, is tue view me presi dent lakes of the linpeuchtrieul inuddle, and the way he will act should the occasion arise. Under the Constitution, i e Presldeut has the power to prorogue Congress only lu case of a disagreement to adjourn, liut in a great puulio emergency, where tne lile of the nation in at stab e, tue President consi ders the exercise of extraordinary i ower iuitilial)l, Moreover, Cougress, by asuuining unconstitutional Dowers and attempting to destroy the Executive, tils- qualities itself, is no onger a lawiul Congress, but a body ol usurpers and traitors. As such they have ro rights the Executive Is humd to respuct, aud the iLiectitlve will deal with them a' cordliigU . The President's iheory is that tney first inuuKurale revo lution l.v atteniDliiitf au ar-t suhverslvent the 'Govern ment, and upon theui will rest the responsibility of any sir lie or coniusiuu mat may louow. THK PBKSIPENT'B LATE ACTS, f ollowlng one so fast ui on the other, naturally have fw.-axiniied sensation. First ol all. lu his veto message last July, he warned Congress in itie following lan guage: "While 1 bold me duel executive authority 7.i i, a i;nLd Htates. while the ohiiL-atlou rest oixiu m ee i hut all Uie laws aie laithfiilly executed.

TUB AMNESTY PROCLAMATION was not Intended as a mere political dodge to catch the popular lavor and eullst Southern sympathy more "trongly in behalf ol the Johnsonian policy. The President dees not intend that It shall be a merely UReiess Plate paper or line phrases but empty effects. He designs it shall work to the advantage of the boutuern whites by pardoning a large class the most Intelligent, wealluy, and socially Intiuen-tlal-and restoring to them their civil rights, In cluding that of suffrage. It is said he has no power to gruntmiffnMre to the 5ardonr-d Rebels excluded by the Reconstruction acts, le chums he has. and I have good authority for statin-.', notwithstanding semi-official contradictions, that the time Is not far distant when he will enforce his views hy ordering the reopening of registra tion, and causing new Instructions to be Issued to the military commanders, in accordance with these views. TBI CABINET ON AMNMTY. On the subject of the effect of amnesty the Cabinet Is said to he a unit. In the discussion of the Amnesty Proclamation the Cabinet agreed thit its legal eflect would be to relieve excluded whites from disability as to ti e right of suffrage. As to the power under the Constitution lu Issue such a proclamation, tbe Presi dent entertains no doubt whatever. The repeal of the thirteenth sectlou of the at t of July IT, 182, does not fleet his powers at all. He claims autnurliy under tbe Constitution; and that that authority cannot be abridged or extended by a mere act of Congress. The object of tbe thirteenth section of the law r? ferred to was not, he believes, to clothe the Kxecullve with any new power, but merely Intended by Congress as a conciliatory act, an expression Is a public way, as it were, of its dtslre to invite the erring brethren of the isouth back to their allegiance a sort of de claration that It tne people of the South sought paroon and relief from the pains and penalties Con- re:s would glndly receive aud welcome them. The Iscusslon lu the Senate at the time of the repeal Miows that the opinions ot Trumbull, Reverdy Jotin son and oilier prominent Senators agree with that of tbe President. THE POPULAR BEACTION AND NKGRO SUPREMACY. The result ot tbe late elections la regarded here as a certain Indication of popular reaction. The President hails it as a sign of the reawakening of the mosses, and confidently believes tbe people are at last begin ning to realize the disastrous tendencies ot radical legislation, and the revolutionary aims ot the radical leaders. The danger ot negro supremacy in the south, lie believes, Is one cause ot this sudden and startling reaction; but be considers that the "second sober thought" of the people has been brought to bear upon tbe whole course and aim of radicalism, and that the result is aconvictlon that It the radical aim Is achieved constitutional government will be destroyed, and a Puritanical despotism follow. THE PRESIDENT'S RESIGNATION. Some time ago a story was put in circulation to the effect that the Pi esident bad said at a Cabinet meet ing that be contemplated resigning the Presidency lor the good of the country. On good authority I con tradicted the storv at the time. It grew out of the fact that the President said on Beveral occasions that It he believed bis resignation or even the sacrifice of his lile could restore harmony to the country, be would gladly give either. But to resign with any other assurance, or merely to yield to some radical fanatic whose elevation would only add to the peril of the country and ha ten the establishment of negro supremacy In the South and the oppression of the Southern whites, would, In his opinion, only be a desertion ot bis duty in the hour or danger, and a criminal abandonment ot tue trust which be has sworn to protect ana defend. It may be written down, therefore, that the President has no idea of resigning. Fashions for September. From Le Follet. It Is now an established fact that tbe autumn dresses will be, In great measure, a reproduc tion In style of tbe short summer Uressea. For travelling and country costume, wbicu is just now that which chiefly occupies tbe attention of our modistes, tbe short dress Is, of course, in dispensable: however, it seems quite certain that not only the short dresses with two r three skirts, but also the round, pluiu skirt, will be very much adopted. They are called round, but this is not a term strictly applica ble, seeing that they are just slightly pointed at the back to give a graceful flow, though not in tbe least to produce a train. Trained skirts retain their place for evening and full dress. With the round skirt, a "Marie Antoinette" or "FoutanKe" pelerine is frequently worn. It n a Bchn of the same material as the dress, crossed at the back with two ends. It may be worn in full toilette, and also out of doors. Low square bodies are still in great favor. Urestes of two colors are still made, but cos tumes of one color only, trimmed with a con trast, are generally preferred. For' example, a dress of black poult de soie, trimmed with maize satin, either a narrow bias or piping; these trimmings usually edge a bias of the sumo color as tbe rone. Many colored taffeta dresses are covered with a skirt of black grenadine, trimmed with lace and Jet; in this case the paletot is also covered witn grenadine. Besides these dresses, there are many also em broidered color upon color. Kmbroiderings of garlands of field llowers are much lu vogue on black dresses. Both white and black beads are used round the bottoms of loug or short skirts, sometimes in patterns of stars, palm leaves, or crescents. White dresses are worn in a great variety of materials. White pique is nearly always inudc with a short or round skirt, and then worn over a colored under bklrt longer than the dress. White toilettes being so fashionable, we can not do better than commence our list of model dresses with two or three of these costnmes. Kobe of white faye, piped with lllao rouleaux, three rows being placed so as to interlace oue another round the bottom of the skirt. Body and peplum trimmed to match, Long white sash, also trimmed with lllao. White robe of Uhaiubery miuze, trained, and trimmed with a pl.sse ilounce, edged with white taffetas. Low body, with a hieh chemi sette of very fine white guipure. Baud of a circlet of gold. White muslin dress with two skirts, each em broidered in black silk, with a light wreath forming a kind of double insertion. The upper skirt is looped up by a scarf of black taffetas piped with white. This dress may be made wiiu DiacK lace inseruuu, uui uiuck. sun em broidery is perhaps the more stylish. The paletot is also of muslin, and embroidered or trimmed to match, and made with wide sleeves. Kvening dress of white taffetas, trimmed with a blus of poncean satin, spotted with gold. The tunic, of white tulle illusion, is as loug as) the dress skirt, out is loapeu up at every breadth, by wreaths oi ponceau flowers, wltn gold foliage reaching to the wrist and forrulun braces. Trimming round the top ot the body which Is of tulle bouillonne, and made low. Although our modistes have been busily en gaged In preparing elegant travelling hats for those who were starting, or anxiously awaiting the time to start, for the seaside, tney have not, been less successful In the charming coiffures, the description of which we are sure will please our reudtrs. A chupeau fanchon or black figured tulle. with scarf of black lace fulling as a curtain over the chignon, and fastened under the chin. A trimming of quilled tulle, to Imitate shells. mixed with a wreatn of gold laurel leaves. blrings at tbe back, of narrow moire ribbon. Another Junction, oi wime blonde, wan trimmed with a wreath ot wild roses, carriod down the blonde scarf on one side, aud across) the chignon on the other. The narrow airing at the back were of white moire, worked with crystal beads. A chupeau "Empire" ot pink crape bouil lonne, on the left side a hanging spray of moss roses aud buds. Tulle scurf, fastened by a rose-bud, and narrow strings of white saliu behind. A fanchon of white silk, worked with small butterllies In gold. Hcarf of tulle, falling over the chignon, and wreath of Jasiuiue passing over the chignon, and accornpauyiug the tulle brides. A fanchon of blue tulle, trimmed with a wreath of blue convolvuli across the front., nn.i branches of the same falling en cuche-peigue over the chignon. At the side a while rose aud a smaller one fastened tbe tulle strings. A bonnet Willi crown maize tnlle and barbes of blonde to match, trimmed with uarcibsus of the an tne color and bronzed leaves. A fanchon of violet tulle, trimmed with small ornaments of Chanlilly, edged with jet. Hcarf of tuile, fastened by a bunch of gold berries. Bunches of gold berries fastened with black lace across the front and chiguon. The hats are In endless variety. Amongst the most charming, we notice one of English straw a cloche lined with bine velvet, wlih a baud of the same round tbe crown, over which whs a light wreath of jasmine falling oil the left aide over long end of blue velvet. THE POLITICAL WORLD. Great Speech of Senator Wilson Before the HcptttHcan Convention of Massa chusetts. Hon. Hrnry Wilfon was choBe.n Chairman of the Massachusetts fctate Convention on Wednes day, which renominated Governor Bullock tor the (iovcrnorBblp of the Bay Stale. Mr. Wilson, on taking tbe cbair, addressed the four thousand delegates present in the following strain: Gentlemen of the Convention: The grand work to which the sons and daughters of Massachusetts have during thirty years, lu peace and war, contributed so much, Is Incomplete, ihe equality of men In the btates, and the equality of Htates lu the Union, are not yet eMnbiisheu by Irreverslhleguarantetsi. There is an obstacle at tbe White House. '1 bat obstacle has been, now is, and will continue to be, an Inspiration to rtacttonary hopes aud strivings, malignant pas sions and cruel deeds. Had Andrew Johnson co operated with Cougress, heeded the voice of the fieople ol tbe loyal estates, and met the needs of the oyal people of the Keliel btates, the equal rights of fieedmen would have, ere this, been assured, the insurrectionary Stales restored, the nation united, and his name would have been forever associated with Ihe martyred Lincoln In the love, gratitude, and admiration ot loyal America. The masses ol the Kepunlicau parly turned trustfully and hopefully 10 him, when their great leader was stricken down, to lend In the grandest worK of the age. These loyal masses were willing to lorglve, If they might not forget, the terrible bumlliation or the Inauguration, and to follow him In the work of uulty and liberty. When he faltered when he fell from the van and sank to the rear, these loyal lua-ses gone rons y continued to hope on, even against hope: but when be went over to tne camp of the men wno had fought against their country, or sympathized with tnem, they resolved to go on without liim or in spite of him, to the final accomplishment of the mighty task Imposed upon them by their endangered country. Into the keeping of traitors Andrew John son put the Kebel Stales; In the keeping of unre pentant Hebels he has striven to keep those States, i-.very measure to protect the loyal while men of the Itebel Hmles, ever)' measure to secure the rights of the freedmen. every measure to weakon the rule of the itebel chiefs, Civil Klghts bill, Freedmen's liureau bills, Reconstruction bill, and Amendatory bills, all have been vetoed by him. When the Repub lican masses, iu thtlr magnanimity, refused to de mand Impeachment, when the Kepnbllcaus In Con gress forbore to press tbe Impeachment they knew he merited, trusting that they could save their country and vindicate equal rignts m spite oi pis misconduct, he defiantly continued to Inspire resistance to tbe will of the nation dared his lute and now hundreds ot thousands who have held back from his im peachment aro sternly demanding It. Kuw In M. Islanton, the trusted councillor of Abra ham Lincoln curing tne bloody conflicts of civil war, Hint statesman so true to freedom, so devoted to his country, has been rudely thrust lrom that position where be had rendered services to the endangered nation that will he gratelully remembered in tbe yeais to come. Tl e Henate of the United states, that has witnessed his intense, passionate love of country, his Titanic energy, vast labors. Integrity and purity, v, ill not Ci-atie to remember that be was struck down for fidelity to country aud to the rights ot tue people. fvot appeased by striking down the great War Se cretary. Audrew Johnson has laid his hand of vio lence on Dint brilliant, honored, and loved soldier, Philip H. t-herllau, whose record In the field glitters with glorious achievements, whose record In the Fifth Military Iilstrlcl Is Instinct with patriotism and Justice, This brilliant hero of the valley of tne She nandoah, aud of battle-heids made Immortal by his genius aud valor, Is sent from bis Department, bur ned away to the distant plains to the gorges of the Jtccky Mountains, to chase tbe wild Indian, with an admonition that his energies will there llnd a lilting field for action. Time, it is said, brings about its re vengeB. Perhaps it may so happen that an outraged nation, that is master of Presidents, Congrmses, and Generals, may bid this man drunk at least with un reasonable passion descend from that lofty position from which he smites down her honored Statesman and her brilliant General, aud go back to thut famous Tennessee village, where his abilities will find an appropriate sphere of action, in filling once again the ofllce of village Alderman. It is not given to men ot the capacity or character of Andrew John son, however lifted up to exalted positions, to belittle Kdwln M. Stanton or Philip H. Sueridau. The Illus trious commander of our army, who Is now enduring the burden Imposed by patriotism, as did bis prede cessor through weary months, uttered the voice of loyal America wnen no expressed nis appreciation or the ' zeal, patriotism, firmness, aud ability" with which Edwin M.btauion bad dtscnsrged the duties of Secretary of War. I remember, too, for I. could not forget it, the generous tribuie the Baine great com mander paid a lew weeks ego to the genius of Hherl lau. "The people," he said, "do not lolly appreciate Sheridan. Iihlukblm the greatest soldier me war developed. Were we to have a great war, aud to c 11 out one million of men, I think Sheridan tbe best fitted to command them. Some persons say I have done a great deal for him, but I never did anything for him. He has done much for me." Such Is the statesman and such Is the general Andrew Johusou has thrust from posts of duty and striven to disgrace, in face ot the nation that so honors and admires them. A uother blow of this relentless persecution of loya men bas fallen upon a brave soldier, whose blood red dened the held ot Gettysburg. General Sickles may have been mistaken in bis policy touching tbe collec tion ot debt, but his general policy lias been wise and comprehensive. When we remember that be sup pressed the brutal liogging at the whipping-posts In the CarolluaB, Imprisoned the President's chivalrlc friends lor tearing a star from the flag moving lu a public procession, making murderous assaults on public speakers, dragging a young woman Into the forest, stiippiug, whipping, and torturing her for hours, we may not be surprised that this gallant sol dier lelt the vengeance of the .Executive. Rumors are rile that Joseph Holt, distinguished tor bis fidelity to his country at the opening ot the Rebellion, and for devotion to the high duties Imposed upon him. and General Howard, the patriot. Christian, and philanthropist, may at any moment be smitten down. Much that the Republicans have achieved lor country aud the rights ot man Is stcure. Some things may be andone, and the crowning work may be postponed lor a time, thus bringing disaster upon the nation, and sorrow upon those who are not yet in full possession ot the rights which should ever accompany American citizenship. But Uls for the Republican party of the United Stutes, now em bracing in lis ranks three millions of natriitic. Hberty-lovliK men, a party that has fought battlai for country and liberty on a higher plaue than any great parly in history, to determine wheu their migbty task shall be accomplished. Master ot tim Hllua.lon. it can only fall new by weaknesses and lollies which will dim forever the glories of the past. To the Republicans of Massachusetts, I here and row say a grand work Is pressing for comple tion; ba tiled traitors, apostate politicians, reaction ary factious, and a recreant Executive are striving to arrest tbe completion of a reconstruction that shall put Rebel states In loyal keeping, place them In harmony with progressive Commonwealths, find make a united Republic and a free nation. This grand, but unfinished werk, now endangered, appeals to the patriotism, the love or liberty, the souse of Justice, and the humane sympathies of the Republi cans of Massachusetts, It appeals anew to the veterans oi our earlier times, to the heroes who fol lowed the old flag over fields made Immortal by their constancy and valor, and to the young men. Instructed by the events of these seven years ot trial and ot glory. In trying times the Republicans of tbls old Puritan Commonwealth were ever promptly re sponsive to the demands of a stern and lofty duty The needs ot the endangered nation now bid us rise ouce aL'am. as In other dav. nhnva nuit v iAr.,... . and local Interests, and move forward to a complete WW " m..fr -.

The Cholera in New York. THK DI8KASB AMONG TUB HOtDIKUS ON OOTItn KOK'B 1BLAWI) FOUR OR FIVK DEATHS DAILY. It is not known to most citizens that for two or three weeks past some speoles of cholera has prevailed among the troops on Govornor's Island to a very serious extent. It ia now thought that the sickness ia nnder the control of the physicians. The disease on the Island first took the character of an epidemic about a week or ten days ago, since which time there have been four or five deaths daily. On Satur day IhsI twelve colllns were ordered at an under taker's In this city, and they were conveyed to the island. It is diflleult to ascertain whether the disease is genuine Asiatic cholera, or whether it is of another and less dangerous species. It Is pro bably the latter, as several of the victims fihowed only slight symptoms of Aslatto cho lera. On tbe breaking nut of tbe malady, seve ral hnndred recruits had Just been stationed upon the Island, but they were soon after trans ferred to Llavls' Island, up the river. As soon as the infection was known to exist, all the old latrines were burned by order ot the command ing ofQcer, and new ones were built over tide water. The best disinfectants were profusely used, and everyplace was thoroughly fumigated with sulphnr. The Board of Heallh also qua rantined the island, and General Kuttertleid lBsued special orders not to have any passes granted to parties to or from the island under any circumstances whatever. The latest reports from the Military Medical Bonrd state that the epidemlo Is now under control, and that It Is believed there will be no further danger. The whole number of donths since the beginning of the epidemic is probably forty or fifty, out of about four hundred men. Of course it Is Impossible to obtain accurate accounts as regards numbers, as ihe officials are extremely reticent. Several parties who have daily communication with tbe island are so bound to such secrecy, that they even att'ect to know of nothing unusual having taken place. -N. Y. World. The President's Organ on the Rise In Gold. From the Washington Inlelligencer,'jSept. 12. The gold premium Is advancing in New York, and has already reached forty-five. It Is now well known that the amnesty and pardon pro clamation has had no influence whatever upon this movement. It muy be true, however, that contemplated or threatened Cabinet changes exert now considerable influence npon tne gold market. But other considerations enter nto tne suriect. some lew demagogues, wnoso will Is taken for the Judgment of the people, or rather of the radical Congress, are crying out for Inflation of the currency, and no one can say what expense a radical President-making Congress will make. Besides, we are importing neaviiy. tne cus toms demand for gold being on the increase. The supply of currency for gold speculatious is immeasurable. Paper is in small demand even at a low rate of Interest, owing to its excess over the wants of regMlar business. The balance of trade for the last fiscal year is against us by the sum of sixty millions, which we are to pay in gold.
