Afiairs in Washington. mr. seward. Mr. Seward is equally free in the ox* pression of his opinion <?n the present status of affairs. He is essential!y eon* servative, and with the President in his policy. He believes that the Southern t>Ar.r,tn a ?/. n/.t'iii,# tti rrAi i/l in f Itio fjccpiu mu av.un? m t^wuvi lami ?t? uuo work of reconstruction; that they are from iheir past history ninl life, acting as we must expect they would act; tliat, with their feelings and knowledge ?e cold have anticipated nothing else.? They cannot change in a day. Their princip;es, fe-lings and la-Iiefs are the growth of years, lie believes that all will come out right; that the Union party Cannot be destroyed, as there will always be ir. this country a majority of its people in favor of the unity aiul integrity of this republic, and wh** will find means to make known their wishes lor the maintenance of the < Constitution and the principles upon which this government is based. The name of this party is very immaterial. He says that if yon look at the class of men who have been elected ! as members of Congress and Senators from the reconstructed States, you w II find that they are not secessionists, and never were; that they fought this heresy >o the beginning, and only went with tfieir Slates when tliev were forced to go, citing the examples of Stephens and many other leading men who have been j elected from the d ff-rent Suites of the j South, whose last votes in their Legisla j tures were cast against secession, and whose last speeches before the war took j place were in denunciation of separation; ' and that not one of the old original se-1 ,1. . n,i;^ 1 ^COSIUilinia? ?;; VAiirmv unionists of the South? hail anywhere been elected to office; out tlmt those who are elected are the proinincnt representative nieu of the Southern country, and just such men as we-must expect to he elected to represent the sentiments of their people; that they are now working; in good faith to bring tln?ir States back to their old relations with the General Government, and that they ought to he admitted to C -ngress, and that, the test oath ought to he so far revised aud remodelled as to permit these men to take their seats in Congress. "As for me," says Mr Seward, "I ain constitutionally one of the hopeful kind. I>?-an Swifi," said he, '"who was something of a,salesman as well as a divine, said rhat in every government there were two clas-es of inen?tho-e who always believed in and hoped for the very best, and those who always despaired of any good and feared the worst; and tint the truth was about half way between the two. I belong, j constitutionally, to uie iormer ciass our, sir, my reason, judgment and experience, i and my trust in God, all lead me to he-1 lieve that this nation is hut entering upon her great and glorious career. I have a firm faith in an own tiling Providence, that will bring us through this contest, as it did through the struggle of arms just closed." Mr. DENJTlSOJf. Mr. Dennison, Postmaster-General, sees everything couleur de rose: believes " - that Congr. -KS nd the President will barmoinze; that just at this time there is a dark cloud iu the political horizon which casts sombre shadows upon political affairs; but, with the eye of hope, he penetrates beyond this cloud and sees the sun of tiiuuipli lighting up the view. He does not believe that, tin* President intends or desires to separate. Iron the Union parly, but that the present eon test is soni thing like the Wade and Davis attack upon Mr. Lincoln, with the exception that Mr. Johnson does not show the wisdom Mnd quaniiuity lnnni lesieti i// flir. L.i. coin in ins contest.? : He believ.s that Mr Johnson if equally pure, true, and .p-itriotic, ami desires very earnestly that unity aud hannony may speedily come. We desires to remain in his present place, and will work to maintain harmony and to keep tliat-plare; but it amy be put down as a fixed fact, that wherever the President goes, Mr. Denni son will always he.found witliiti the lines of the Union party. Mr. Dennison is gentlemanly and yieldinir, to a fault; hut underlying all ilns sof ih-ks and placidity there is a gianitic strata thai is g.-nuine and true, and that can always be trusted. HE. SPEED, ATTOENEY GENEE.iL, Is unqualifiedly with the Radicals of Gongress on the question of negro suffrage, and opposed to the policy of the President. Mr. Speed is discreet in the 'expression of his opinions; does not unnecessarily harass or oppose the President, but stands firmly to his convictions of what he believes to be the true principles in this contest. ME. STANTON. Mr. Secretary Stanto is reticent, looks a good way ahead, and under no circumstances will exercise his power to put men untrue to the Union party or to the country into place and power. He is staunch and true, but politic: is inclined to stand by and go with the President, but does not agree with him in all his measures and policy. In a conversation with a gentleman the oth er day, he said : "I cannot promise you this action for the future ; my tenure of oifice is uncertain; a change may t ike place an}' day. I could not remain here, and would not, if required to make any appointments, or to aid in any act contrary to my principles and convictions." It has been urged upon Mr. Stanton, by members of Congress, to hold on to the office till he is put out; if a struggle conies between xhe President and the Cabinet, not to yield an inch, for that the Senato would not confirm any successor whom Mr. Johnson might appoint. TflE FACTS. First. The President does not get drunk?is temperate and abstemious in all his habits?does not touch liquor of any kind, and has not since the day of his inauguration. . Second. He is not going over to the Capperheads, nor is he going to ap point any man to ofhce who was not with the Union party during the war Third. He is going to have every man who holds office under him support him and his measures, his . "policy," as set forth in his 22d of February speech, his veto, and his message. Those who do not support him, and do take sides with the ltadicals in Congress, had better look out for the Executive axe, for it will surely fall. Fourth. Audrew Johnson is as honest and patriotic a man as lives on the' earth. He is just as combative ' and stubborn as he is honest. Fifth. Hear to hini as his first born, yea, precious as the breath of his' nostrils, is his "policy." Before his determination to sustain and carry through that policy all other considerations must go down. To that "policy" he would sacrifice any and all personal friendships?yea. his very life would weigh nothing in the scales against his determination to carry it throu'gh. Why ? Because he has, after long days and weeks and months of earnest, thought, study, and prayer, concluded that the salvation of his country and the welfare of the people depend upon it. However much we may differ with him in judgment, we can but admire his Spartan heroism and dauntless courage. "What is the President's "policy,'" upon which he is risking so much?'' many inquiro. "What is this chimera, tills phantom, this ignis fatuus 'policy" that is leading the President this wild dance!." That I- cannot fully answer. Ilis message, veto and speech will best give it. The principle ingredients of thai policy are: First?That the constitutional rights of the States and the people thereol shall not be infringed or trampled upon by the General Government. Second?That the States have the right to determine for themselves tinqualification of voters, and that tinGeneral Government caii no more in ICiiUl O >> 11/11 biiat 111 K^VUUU V>IW.V?JLA na than in Massachusetts. Third?That whenever a member oi Congress from and one of the thirtysix States, presents himself for a seat in Congress, and can take the oath prescribed for each and every member oi that body, Congress has 110 right to exclude him ; that Congress can proscribe rules that will apply to all its member.but cannot inviduously legislate against members from sections of the country, or that only apply to a part of that body or a part of the States. Fourth?lie does not believe in the Stevens doctrine of "State suicide." Fifth?He is opposed to negro suffrage at this time; think they are unfitted for and have not the requisite capacity to intelligently exercise that sacred yet dangerous privilege. MY CONCLUSION. Congress and the President will never harmonize. They will remain asunder and divide even unto the end. It is immaterial how this seperation is caused?the result is equally dangerous in its consequences to the party in power. It may be charged, on one side, that the President has switched off the party track; and on the other hand, that Congress has followed the lead of these crazy Radicals until they have run them into the camp of the enemy?the disunionists. The fact remains?they are seperated. My conclusion is that Congress, under die lead of these old parliamentary Radicals, has gone a little too far and too fast, and got away from both the President aiid the people; that the President has stood still since the day of his election, and has failed to keep pace with the pro -Pil 1 _ gress oi uie people. The President will not go over to tho "Cops," nor appoint any of theni to office, but will not shake them off, if, for their Own party or selfish motives they see proper to support his policy and measures. I have no doubt he would be glad to form, out of tho moderate and conservative Union men and the better part of the Democrats, a new and third party. But the testimony of men of the Union party upon whom he has called for an opinion as to the feasibility of this plan has been so universal and emphatic that they would not be found in the company of these Copperheads for any consideration, even in a decent place and for a decent object, that the possible fulfilments of this dream?if it ever really existed?has pas ed away. The President will use all tho power ho has, in the way of patronage and influence, to bring men to his support, and will cut off those who are against him. For this he cannot be blamed.? j A new d* a1, will probably be made in j i' i ' "'i"' n -~tpt the Cabinet. Secretaries Stanton and Harlan, and Attorney-General Speed, are notoriously opposed to' the President. They are inharmonious elements in the Cabinet at this time.1 am satisfied that no man can act as mediator in this contest?the man who attempts it will be ground to powder between this advancing glacier, Congress, and this immovable mountain, "the greatest of the Andies." Jblad I lie leaders oj the Union party and the Union immh.r-* of Congress f ttiled in 'he.beginning of Mr. J?>h 1.s??nV administration, a conspiracy with the ('ojipei heads and Butternuts, to"drive the President into the ranks of 'the latter, both parties could oot have more earnestly and efficiently nmvi-d forward to the iccoinpli.-hmi'iit of that purpose. The former have h?ld nl--of f-oui him, distrusted and assailed him. They have i.:? i ?1? i.:... rt I mo uuu ui<tuc HUM Iv, from passion' and his strong unconquerable, and almost ungovernable combadve nature, say, and perhaps do, many hasty and unwise thivgs. The lattei Iihvu vjsiicd him ; ministered to his pis-ioiis atid vaniMi'?.; have given their confidence and support; have soothed and eoinfortcd liim when wounded and wronged. TIn.se influences have undoubtedly had heir effect. IIow far these influences, added to the opposition he has encountered from the Union members nfCouoress in' carrying out his plan of ruconNtrmiion?or, as lie expr- s os it. " resti?ration"?will. arry the President, no mat an tell. One ' tlwug is certain, Andrew. Johnson will not be found untrue to what lie believes to be the interests of hiseoitn try. "TIIE GERMAN." Internal Revenue Tax. A correspondent of the Columbia Phoenix, writing from Washington, under date of the 17th February, says; "The Internal revenue, for the upper part of the State of South Carolina, is to be assessed and collected as soon at the officers can be completed. No taxes will be assessed or collected on any subjects ot taxation prior to outti May 180;), which is the (lute of the establishment of the collection districts in South Carolina, except the taxes on incomes which will be collected for the income)of 1801, and since. All manufactures dis'illed liquors, and other subjects o taxation, produced or occurring sinci 10th May, will be assessed and taxed] It is thought in the department an<. elsewhere here, that the oath of ofhet will be so modified, at least in regard to postmasters and revenue officers that there will be no difficulty in obtaining Southern men who can talco it A decision lias already been made, al lowing payment for stationery, qffici rent, postage, &c., to the offiers 01 the internal revenue in the South, who, ayet, cannot draw tlieir salary by reason of the oath." ?>? 1 The New York Herald thus sums uj the provisions of the so-called Chi. Rig] Its Bill: Shall the negro intermarry with om daughters, and take an equal place in our households ? The civil rights bil says that lie shall. Shall negroes intermingle with our refined ladies in steaming hot theatres, hall rooms and opera houses ? Tlie civil rights hill declares that they must. Shall a negro sup rcedc Grant a* General-iu-cliicf of the United Status army ? The civil rights bill says thai he can do so. Is a negro five times bet'er than a white ruan that the former should vote immediately, while the latter has to undergo fivo years' probation if he bring? his skill, labor and money to this country from abroad ? The civil right*, bill declares that the negro is five limes bettor. Shall the farms of the great "West and the whole country he owned by the negroes, aud white labor be subservient to negro proprietorship ? Tincivil rights 1 ill providi s fcr this condi tion of things. Are we to have negroes filling the position of post captains in the United States navy ? The civil rights bill says that we are. Is this a white man's Government for white men ? The civil rights bill says that it is not. Are we to have negroes representing this Government as the United States ministers at the courts of France and England ? The civil rights bill says that we are. Shall negroes sit in Congress, in the Cabinet and other high stations side by side with white men ? The civil rights bill says that he may. Shall our children see a negrb in the Presidential chair ? The civil rierhts bill provides for such a contingency. The Richmond (Va.) Republic is exceedingly indignant that the ladies of that city, alter parting with jewelry, clothing, etc., in order to buy bread, should now be forced to ' labor fifteen houvs a day to earn thirty or forty cents. It adds : "If the ladies will furnish us with the names of these ghouls, and a lits of the prices they pay, we promise to so brand them with their infamy that they shall be known and despised throughout the land." ?
