From Wa*til?gtoii.
rhc President's policy?lie will not yield
to Congress in any event?Puller's pro
eraniiuc?Congress to arrange lor the
earlier meeting of the Fortieth Congress
?The Elections, etc., etc.
Washington, October 10.
It has been rumored that the President
in a reply to an invitation to attend a dinner,
given in compliment to (5en. Wind,
lias indicated the future policy of his a<l
ministration, llis letter will be regarded
with interest. What the 1'resident Ins
lone, so far, we well know, and we km w
hat he has taken a linn position upon his
)wn policy o! restoration. \\ hat he wi?l
lo in the luture, in certain contingencies,
is a subject of much speculation. Heretoore
he has expected such a change of
icntiiuont on the part of tl e people, as
would lead to an adoption by Congress of
lie nnliAir Unt i 1 !?.?
m . j/ui, ii r.\ j'v umii 'ii ir* ur
crly groundless, the question arises whetli
:r he will change his practice. If Con
(less will not go with hiui, will he go with
Congress? Probably not.
'I he President now well knows what
vill be the tactics of Congress. The time
s close by for the openiii?_j of* the spssiou.
n a few weeks the President is to be itn
leached. At tjie la t session the Radical
eaders took care to pledge the party to a
toursc hostile to the President's policy, at
i caucus on the Saturday night prior to
he opening of the session, so as to antiei
ate any thing which the President might
iroposc in his message. The same thing
vill be done next December. The caucus
vill arrange the impeachment, and any
ncuibcr not adhering to the eaueus decree
vill be put under the ban of the party.
(leneral lJutler's speech at Cincinnati,
vas, in tact, intended to present the great
taJical issue to wit : The impeachment
md removal of Andrew Johnson, and the
ubstitutioii for him of the President /?/ ?<
)ii of the Senate, probably Senator Wade.
?f Ohio. I pon this issue. Ohio, Pcnusyl
aiiia and other Slates have already dedared
their position. They decide to
auction Putter's programme, which lie
ius stated with so much particularity. Ho
s himself, probably, to be the leader of the
'ongress army against the President's a>i)y,
in ease the President should resist the
usurpation of Coogr. ss. lie proposes him
elf fur that position. He also lays down
lis own law fur the trial ol impeachments,
ltd prescribes rules for the conduct of tin
senate, as the high Court ol Iiupeachm lit.
fhe Senate with twenty six States lepr
etited, will, by a liaro in ijoritv ol vote
wenty-seven?order lliat Pnsidciit John
on, as soon as the artieles of iuipcacliim lit
ire presented, be arrested and imprisoned
it the old Capital or Fortress Monroe, ami
lis functions are at end. But Johnson,
mys Butler, m?y resist that course. In
hat case Butler will be on hand with an
iriny ol lludioals, collected from the mass
if the people, by which the regular forces
>1 the army and navy are to he routed and i
lisj ersod. From this, by the way, Ben j
llutler is to be the next President.
The Senate may not proceed with the j
rial inexact accordance with tlen. Butler's [
murrain inc. Chase, Peak and Pickering,
n # ? r? .
hey will merely summons the party im
icached, and proceed to examine the ease,
wiring council and evidence. Thcv do i
mt, as (ien. Butler supposes, assume that
he party is guilty, belbre evidence ol the
act is affirmed.
The idea is very prevalent that sonic i
toin mot ion will arise here early in the approaching
session, lor if Congress cannot i
ntimidate the President, they will attempt
;o remove hi in.
Jt is thought that Congress, at the coiling
session, will provide by law, tor an
rarlier meeting than usual oi the fortieth
Congress. They will do this in anticipation
of some trouble that may arise from
their own high-handed measures.
It was sufficiently well known at the
President's house and at the club rooms
last night, that the Radicals had tl eir own
way in the elections yesterday in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Iowa and Indiana. It is a
forerunner of the result ol the November
elections.
The Radicals are perfectly intoxicated
with success. The city election in Balti
mum, which occuis lo uay, lias not, so lar,
been attended with tlie violence which was
apprehended. LliO.

| stupendous ridge ol rock that shoots up '
11,11". hi feet above the sea, about the imddh
ol the ttnuicnsesnow field which forms tinside
ol' Mont IMano towards Chamoutiv.
Of course their progress in xt rooming was
watched with the intensest anxiety, from
the vilhuc. Kvcryho ly who had read Al
hcrt Smith's uuiiiMiig '"Story ol Mont
Hlane' knows what an cxciteiiictit an ascent
produces in the whole community
IIvery gh.ss is fixed, every guide watches ;
even women and children run into the
streets to gather the latest reports of the
i adventure. The three Kiiglishmen set oil
from the (irande Mulcts very early in the
morning, as is usual, and at out lU o'clock
the cry was heard. "They have gained (lie j
summit." Certainly, there they went, on 1
the loftiest line, l.*?,7 41 feet high, seeming, |
even through the be-t glasses, like mere j
ants, crawling upon the louuded cone of a 1
most prodigious sugar loaf.
After a while they began to descend, j
and as dccending tee is often more dilli- I
on t than ascending it, their movements
w; re still followed by the siiue eager so? t
iieitude. "llrave fellows," said an old
guide, "how cautiously yet firmly they
conic down." A genetal smile of appro- 1
val followed his words. '1 hey have ipnt
