THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS. The people of the entire country are deep ly interested in the probable line of policy by which the President will be guided, in view of the recent elections in the Northern States. We think it clear that he will con strue the heavy Democratic gains as a rebuke to the dominant party, and an endorsement of his course. This admitted, and he will certainly push his advantages to their utmost extent. What he has been patiently waiting for has, at last," come within his grasp ; and, relying on the people to uphold him, he will begin to show mo-re nerve and pluck than have hitherto characterized his action. As one of the-results of the Democratic successes, the leaders of that party are clam orous for a reorganization of the Cabinet. Again, they are urging on .the President, with vehement energy!, the removal of a very large number of the Republicans now hold ing positions in the Custom Houses, Post offices, and Departments at Washington. That their wishes wilt be gratified, as far as the President may think prudent, tlicre can bej no doubt. Heretofore, Congress have had him " under the hack ;" but now that the Northern people show! a disposition to repu diate the extreme legislation of Congress, Mr. Johnson will be emboldened to go into . i - i i thte fight with redoubled energy. Hitherto, he has been on the defensive : but nowT he wjll assume the aggressive ; and, by gradual approaches, attempt to undermine the politi cal fabric which the Republicans have spent so much time and energy Jo rear. In regard to Congress : Itis manifest that their tactics must be changed. They will not go to Washington, in November, backed by the moral influence of forty-two thousand majority in Ohio, and seventeen thousand in Pennsylvania. They will commence the campaign under difiicultics, and will con sume much time in arranging their plans. The President will, of course, take advantage of; this confusion in the ranks of his adver saries, and attempt by a coup de main to re cover the ground he lias already lost ; and then, if successful, he will have the Republi cans at a disadvantage. But it must not be supposed that Congress will strike, their colors without a battle. They can wield an immense power ; and af ter recovering from the temporary disorder consequent upon the reverses of their party in the recent struggle, they will pi esent a bold front, and will prove -themselves a formida ble barrier to the President's policy. Im- peachment .will be advocated by the bold and daring spirits who have heretofore given life, and fire, and energy, to their organiza tion; but this will be abandoned, and their attention turned to- the all-important point of 1 retaining the two thirds vote necessary to overrule the veto power. This will" require hard and determined work ; for there are al ways men in all large political assemblages who haven't the back-bone to stand up in the face of a powerful political, reaction and vote counter to the wishes of the majority of those whom they represent. Politicians have an unconquerable inclination to sail with the current of public opinion ; and here will be found the obstacle which the Republican leaders will have to overcome. tf, as heretofore, the veto power can be made a nullity, ' Congress will follow up, with increased energy, their j)lan of recon struction in the South. It is important to them that tlieir ranks 'be strengthened by two Kepublicahenatorsand the-iisual number, of Representatives, from each of the States of the South.' With these auxiliaries they can bid defiance to the President, and continue to control the government. :-: '' 4 ' Congress still has its former strength, though it may be moderated by the recent reyerses. It is simply nonsense, and insuffer able buneombe,ibr some 'of - the i Southern press to be crying out) "The country is. re deemed; the tyrants are overthrown," and using many other -terms which ican oiUy serve to add bitterness to ; the legislation which they seek to avoidi Many are laboring under the strange hallucination that the 1 people of the North are all Democrats now ; that the election of Judge Sharswood to the Supreme I Bench of Pennsylvania has shorn the Repub lican party of all power. r; Let the people of the South realize: these simpltj truths i That the President and Con gress are engaged in a death-struggle for supremacy ; that we can exert no influence in the; contest, for good, except by looking quietly on; that neither "party at thelKorth wishes our co-operation at this juncture ; that both those parties know our political statawithput being told of it from day to day ; and that, as a conquered people a people who are bound hand and foot it is our duty to calmjy await the time when our advice and co-operation arexlesired. j A man confined iin the stocks never makes anything by cursing the Sheriff, even though he be punished without cause. .

' "j ' . . ;j : . . . l . i It is the general report to-day that the j I'resiclent has sent t Uen. b rank Blair to come here and take the War Department, as the successor of Mr. Stanton,' but there is no good ground for the report ;m fact, ther authority for saying ! that no selection ha been made for that office, the President hav s T ? . ing determined to canvass well the qua tions o:f" the persons suggested for the tioii. : -1 i- - posi- "Whoever shall take the place will receive an appointment outright- as 'Secretary of War, vice E.

In this opin ion Mr. Stanton concurred when the bill was passed, and himself prepared a portion of the veto message, jdenying the power of Con gress to pass Such an act. . . ! i The removal of, Mr. Stanton being accom plished' in the manner herein indicated,1 the President: will simply send his message to the Senate," nominating A.

Stanton may 'claim'that he shall be reinstated, but being out of tle office, fie will be compelled to seek his legal remedy, by mandamus, or any other mode, if there be any other pointed out by law. Th is will brxiig the question as to the . constitu tionality of the tenure of office act before tile Supreme Court of the United States- fori ad judication,, and by its decision the right of Mr. Stanton to hold the office! will be decid- - ' J " , ' : -Under jthe old law .the Executive had j the power to suspend or remove, and the sus)enr sion of Mn Stanton was adopted for the time being-obtof abundant caution, and in order that this act might also be. within the terms of the tenure of office bill. But it was in the first insjtance the purpose of the President to make aii absolute removal of Mr: Stanton) sooner oi later. Such are in substance ! the views and purposes of the.Executive onjthij subject. Data. A Weal,tliy Farmer Murder el He is Rob : bed in His Own Mouse Escape f the Murderers X hey Secure 100,000 in U.

Democrat. Some two months since, Mrs. Blankenship,' ? a lady of resjiectability, lost her; husband from disease, and was left with three child-': ren, yo interesting little boys and a little infant girl, just large enough to wTalk alone and beguile the lonely hours of - the ' mother with its prattle. On the 10th ult.,.the moth er; for the purpose of washing - clothes, re paired to the spring branch near the house, taking her three children with her; the house dog following behind. ' She had been en gaged in washing but a short time when the dog was heard barking incessantly on the' hill. Thinking that the dog had treed a a raccoon, the two little boys proposed going at once to secure the anie. With the mother's consent, the little fel lows started off in high glee. On reaching the spot where the dog. was barking, . they ' saw, at a short distance from the. dog, a large object coiled at the foot of a stump, in a hostile attitude, keeping the dog at bay. , Eager only to capture the supposed game, : and not thinking of danger, they approach ed the hideous monster. ' The oldest of the two boys approached first, with his little hands outstretched and his face aglow at the. prospect' of his prize, saying,.Tll get him brother." Ona step more, and he rushed to a death more terrible and speedy than were r the tortures of the -fabled Raccoon. With one dart of , his forked tongue, with tone . death-rattlefof his tail, the huge rattlesnake, forit was nothing less, drew back his. scaly N folds, and with one dart forward, planted his envenomed fangs in the flesh of the i boy and lett the deadly poison coursing through his young veins. ; : : , .. ; The' other little fellow rushed forward to the relief of his little brother, and he also received the deadly fangs of the. serpent in, several places. The screams of the boys alarmed the mother,, who -was- still washing at ' the branch, and, leaving her baby ""girl, she ran frantically to the Spot. . Putrid with - i-mao'-n swnVpn nr.l U1nrlr nnrl ' hittrm in Inany places, one of her boys was already ' dead and the other dying from the same cause. The snake had crawled away? .and the living boy jiist lived long enough to tell the circumstances of their deaths. Over whelmed with an intensity of , agony, she re mained at the fatal spot a short time, ; when, she bethought her of her little girl at the branch, and hurried "back. -. -'.' ' :n, On reaching the spot, horrible as it may appear, she found that, .the little girl had walked to the 'wash-tub, into which she had fallen head foremost and was drowned. Be reft of children, and almost ' of reason, she sank; under the accumulated horrors of the hour. Assistance, was procured,- and the heart-crushed woman and the remains of her nestlings were taken charge' '.of and" cared for. ! A short time after a large rattlesnake with thirteen rattles was killed near tlie sp6t where the boys were bitten. ; - z Marry Iler Firit. Many' years ago, in what is now a flourish ing city, lived a stalwart: blacksmith, fond . of his pipe and his joke.: He was also fond . of .his blooming daughter, whose -many graces had ensnared the affections of a young:? printer. The couple, after a season' of bill ing and cooing, '1 engaged. them'selveV' and! ' nothing but the consent of the young lady parents prevented .their ' union.
