Mr. DooKttle moved to amend by pro-
Warden mutually expressed themselves
satisfied, from their knowledge ot Mr.
Johnson's views and of the opinions of a
number of Republican Congress nen, that
to bring about a co-operation of the two
branches of the government in the mat-ter
of reconstruction, (probably upon the
basis of the constitutional amendment pro-posed
by Congress, and impartial or quali-fied
suffrage,) it was only necessary for
BOme one to go to work energetically and
make known to Congress and the Presi-dent
that there was a probability of their
being able to agree.
" Accordingly Messrs. determined
to and did invite a number of Republican
Congressmen to meet them on Wednes-day
last, at the Metropolitan Club rooms,
unu nHl semi-social, informal manner, talk
over the matter. Between thirty and for-ty
members were advised of the purpose,
and invited to the club rooms.
"At this gathering there were leading
en from the delegation of seven or eight
States, and a tree interchange of views

entire coincidence of opinion among the
Congressmen as to the character of mea-

of their loyal representatives to their seats
in Congrea*. The main features of these
measures, on which it was believed a ma
jority of tie Republicans could agree.
wore the constitutional amendment and
negro suffrage.
« Messrs. -—, gave their impression as
to the disposition and views now enter-mined
by Mr. Johnson, but expressly dis-claimed
any authority to speak for the
President. They were therefore reques-ted
to make known to Mr. Johnson the
opinions of the Congressmen present, and
to say to him that it he believed he could
meet them upon some such plan as that
indicated, and was desirous of co-opera-ting
with thein in their efforts to restore
confidence in the government, and effect
harmonious action hereafter between its
co ■ rdinate branch s, they would be glad
to meet, and confer with him.
M The President was accordingly, on
the following day. informed of what had
'. ken place", anil he instructed Messrs.
to say to the Republican members
that le- earnestly desired to work with
them in their laudable purposes, and he
would be pleased to see them whenever
,l;>-\ should deem it advisable to call.—
This message was delivered, and on Thurs-day
evening a committee ofthe Republi-can
Congressmen had an interview of
about two hours with Mr. Johnson, and
at a subsequent informal meeting on Fri-day
night, at the resilience of Mr. Dodge,
they ma le a report of what hid transpir-ed
