MW i THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS. OUR WASMINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. The Coming Seesion of Congress and the Preeidest; &c. Wasuineton, Nov. 27, 1866, Op Monday next the ‘Tbirty-wintd Congress will meet, Im anticipation of ‘that mecting the President bas been, during the past ‘two weeks, industriously engaged upon his annual mes- sage, aud the heads of departments bave been equally ‘busy with their reports, These labors are now happily completed, and official doors are once more thrown open ‘0 the reception of callera, Members of Congress, t00, ‘axe rapidly arriving and secarimg their quarters for the winter, avd preparing the political wires which they hope to manipulaye to the advantage of their own inte- weste or the advancement of factional schemes All ‘these circumstances conspire to fill the Washington at- mosphere with its wonted, proportion of rumor and spo- eulations, and to give zest to the gossip on the street corners and in the dotel lobbies. fp analyzing thie gossip the rst and most prominent feature that arrests one’s attention is the almost univer- eal acquiescence in the opinion that the coming session will be marked by a reversal of the conspicuous features Of the Bret session. Last winter the President and Con- grem were at loggerheads throughout, and the extremists ‘wbo controjied the action of Congress, merely strove to widen the breach. There is now a genera! conviction ‘Mat this winter the session will start off with a can- ciltatory message from the President, making advances towards peace and harmonions action, which will be met Wy Congress in an equally cordial, frank ant generous mpirit, ‘The argument fer this is that the Premdent {nsugurated a plan of reconstruction which was. balked end defeated by the refusal of Congress to aflmit the Boutbern representatives. Then Congress adopted a sobeme of is own, which was likewise defeated by the influence of the Executive, through which the constitutional amendment was defeated. 80 both par- ties to this petty squabble are even and quits. Each de- vieed a scheme of reconstruction, and each had the satis- Metion of defeating the other's, Now they come together On an even footing 80 far as giory and defeat are concerned ‘and can put their heads together in harmony, agree'ng ‘sosbare the honor of restoring the country to tranquillity, peace and prosperity. In the accomplishment of such s noble. work there certainly is glory enough for all, as in ite defeat by the perverse and obstinate pulling at cross parposes of the two branches of the government, there 4a shame and disgrace enough for both, ‘The points for which the ultra men of Congress ha aitberto contended there js ample grounds to believe the President will, in his message, concede. The foundation of the controversy it 1B believed, back of the status of white men in the South, and centres in the status to ‘We accorded to the black population.

In the Almshouse there are two wards set apart for the recep- tion and nursing of these infante, On Wednesday there were thirty-three of these inthe wards named. In the first ward the waifs are received from one day to four months old. There was only one child received into this ward during the last year who has lived, all the rest hav- ing died. It bas been the same in former years. They do not die for want of care, Indeed, they are better pro- vided for—barring the mother’s own presence—more patiently watched over and kept cleaner than most of the children found with their fathers and mothers in the lower strata of social life, and it may’be said in a higher strata also. They die from want of proper nursing—such nursing as art cannot supply. And, again, they die in not @ few instances from the effects of the terrible expo- sure to which they are subjected by the wretches who abandon them. Some of the infants kept in this ward are really. very ‘“‘cunning-looking ones,” and would be exposed with the highest degree of pleasure to be hug- ged and kissed and called ‘‘my darling little pet,” and all jon by many fathers and mothers in the bigher walks of life who have ugly-looking ones in abundance.

The su; they ex- hibited was wonderful, Class No. 2 takes in those from five to eight years old, and class No. 3 those from eight to sixteen years old. The Warden was telling a gent tan who called tbat not a very long time ago 4 MEMBER OF CONGRISS KLECT from one of the Southern States visited the island and passed throngh the nursery. When in the quarters where class No, 2 is located the visitor prevailed upon one of the boys to try and make aspeech. The 4 did try and rather failed at first, but was in the end immensely encouraged, when the visitor said, “Go on, go on; I was once in just such a place as you are now.” Members of Congress will of course note this very interesting fact. At the present time the demand for large boys to go West and work on farms exceeds the supply which the city has for such © porpose. The little boys are ‘a drug in the market.’ e Warden cannot got rid of them. It is about the same thing with the little girls, although they stand a fraction higher on the hat, big girls woll. Some of them turn out to be good industrious women, making happy wives for Western young men. misceLLANEOUS POLITICAL ITEMS. Ranw.
