WASHINQTON, January IC-The word and atti lUde ol' Congress this week past betokens to an ivcry-day obsorvcr a growing- nervousness and excitability among the Radicals. They would icvor confess that tho abrupt precipitation of thc mpcaehment question by the nonontities of their ?arty had served to embarrass or annoy thom, but t is easy to sec that all their unrest hinges upon hat very fact. They, or the majority of the House, inderstand and privately deprecate the leaBt ad ancc in (his proposed onslaught upon thc Prosi ont, but in open session they dare not refuse the ?su?, aud so listen without demur to such wild nd irresponsible charges as came from Ben. Loan, f Missouri, on Monday h\Bt, to tho effect that An rew Johnson was privy to thc plot to assassinate lincoln, and in his reconstruction project affected o pa}* a price for tho crime which secured his ele ation to the Presidency. The advocates of expe ior.cy listen lo this Bort of raving with what as umed complacency they can, but it rankles fear illy in their hearts, and they labor under a con inual nightmare of apprehension that the country ill some fine day utter a most peremptory protest gainst this trifling with the elements of revolution nd jeopardy of Govornmont credit. You have already noted that five-twenties have ad a tumble in Europe upon the reception of tho im cachmentnow8. and the later fact that many foreign rotors havo given notice, by cable, to their prin ipals in this country, that they deem it advisable 3 return by earliest steamers tho great bulk of .merican Becurites they have on hand, in order to reveut their fall from out of the range of safo in esl mont. This intimation has unsettled tho Radi? al Congressmen more than anything that could therwiso have occurred. As was candidly rc. ?arkcd to mo but yesterday by a Senator of ex :eme Republican proclivities, and, moreover, ailing from New England: "If the people of this cmntry get an inkling that the wealth they hold is eing rendered unstable at homo, or in its repre mtativo abroad, by tho action of any party or ongross, tho political life of either is ended on ic instant. If tho peoplo of the North had had nt thc slightest conception at the outset of this ?bcllion that tho cost of suppressing it would ave multiplied into that fabulous national debt of ireo thousand millions of dollars, the Confedera v might have departed in peace, and there would ive been few to say it nay." Though allied to io orring sido of tho world's politics. I am in ined to thiuk, from the import of my honorable iend's remark, that he is not altogether without ie veracity of an oracle, and cortainly no false rophct as to what constitutes tho governing ervc of popular judgment among tho nation ol easure reapers at the North. XE OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES OF THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET REDOUNDING! AGAINST HIMSELF. Mr. Johnson has steadily ignored the demand of io country for the dismissal of Secretary Stanton om the War Department and thc Cabinet, and jw comes a retribution, as yet undefined, for that ersistent overruling of thc sentiment of tho poo? le. In casting about for witnesses to depose in ie matter of impeachment, tho Houso Judiciary ammitteo have Subpoenaed Mr. Stanton to throw ito thc Rcucral aggregation of testimony against io Executive. In complying with this later sum ons, thc War Minister will have made his second ipearance beforo tho Committee within a week; ie first timo unbidden, and accompanied by bis ight bower," Judgc-Advocato Holt. This intor ow was accomplished with great privacy at the me, and from the subsequent summons of Stan n to appear bet?re the Committee, who can >ubt that tho proceding council was *o suggest id divulge something cf tho lino of e vi acuco thc icretary was willing and anxious to give. A very ?egnant commentary upon Executive obstinacy, id a most fitting method ol teaching Mr. John n that it is well to pay the most earnest heed to ipular remonstrance to tho perpetration of a sin r?inst himself. IE NEWLY NOMINATED SENATORS AND OLD THAD. STEVENS' DEFEAT. Of tho "arts" who aspired to Sonatorial honors . the lato elections or the Legislatures of New irk, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Illinois, none feel oro exasperated at their exclusion than Senator rc, of Nevada, who is defeated fora re-election, b went tho full Radical figure last session, beside corporating cortain extreme catch-penny dodges his own, in tho full anticipation that tho Legis turo of Nevada would reward him with a roucwal oftico upon its aBsembling this winter. Thc ?rislators of that half-way conservative State uld't seo thc point in that light, and nominated, Btead of tho incumbent, a man of moderate, views mied Winter. Hero, (to bo facetious) ia tho uter of negro discontent, never to bo "mado Orions summer" by "tho son of York" or "any her man." Adieu, Nye; you are sholved. Old Sonator Harris, of New York; who ie eupcr ded by Roscoe Conldin, of the Houso, takes his verso sorely to heart, aud nothiug but tho fact ai ho is an authorized exhorter in the Baptist lur.b, leads hun to have any hope in life. Conk i, his successor, is just as bitter a Radical, but i has youth, polish and good oratorical powers all respects a hotter legislator than Haixis. Of tho erntest in Pennsylvania, you aro already quaintcd. It waa about an even thing, with mest mon, as to preference in choico between ro such men as Simon Camoron and Thad. Ste? ms. That tho former has won, is undoubtedly ie to tho exorcise of certain maguetic influences ith which Cameron is well acquainted, both as i individual leading aud led by thom. Poor old liad, ia manifestly embittered by tiio defeat, and trses his late opponent and tho Pennsylvania Lc slaturo, without utint, since bia return from tho one of tho conflict. Following his departure mu Harrisburg, comes an incidont relativo to tho mtcst, which is now going the rounds as a crcdi 0 episodo of thc canvass. It goes in this wiso : [iou tho third night after Stevens* arrival in Har? burg, and when events had already clearly indi? ted that Cameron was going lo carry off thc hon 8, a young mcmbor of tho Legislature, from liad.'s own county, called upon him, and, With a >od deal of trepidation, unfolded the fact that he ul concluded to transfer his voto from Stevens to imeron, in tho ballot that was lo occur on the flowing morning, for tho reason, ns ho averred, nit the former had no chance ol' succoss. Old had. heard the deserter -patiently through, and ten, rising, remarked, with ono of his sinister crs, "Now, my young friend, go and vole for amcron il* you want to, and elect him if yon can, it do not, I entreat, go back to Lancaster without .st refunding your candidate's money; you aro too mng to bo implicated in such jobs." Tho party LUS abjured, it seems, was once a pupil of a dia ict school, which Old Thad, conducted in behalf ' the cause of education, and tho "town board," id listened to .his significant admonition with ingled manifestations of anger and shame, which lally resulted in his turning, speochlcs J, on his 3ol. But Camoron carried his vote unanimously 1 the morrow. NEBRASKA AND COLORADO DISPOSED OF. Both of these apologies for Statos have finally jen disposed of in effect. To-day tho Sonate con irrod in the Houso amendment to tho Bill ad itting them as Stutos, and BO thoy stand eom itted to parchment, ready to go to the President, i tho first place the President won't sign tho Bills id, as shown in both Houses of Congress during io consideration of tho amendment in question, is powerless to pass it over tho veto. Secondly, f tho terms of tho Radical proviso, tacked upon io Bills by the Houso, neither Act will authorise (presentation ;n tho National Legislature until ic Legislatures of the respective States declare iat tho oloctive franchise or any other right ahall j withhold withiu thou* respective limita for dis uction on account of raco or color. Neither Col ado nor Nebraska will accept admission into the mon on any sucu terms, and private advices from io latter territory, show that the people are op )scl to admission until tho matter of rocons tr ne? on has ceased to unsctUo tho country, and jeo-? irdize tho harmony of State relations. POLITICS IN SOCIETY. Tho series of receptions that aro being given jw by thc President and Cabinet, Speaker Colfax, encrai Grant and others, iudieate most unmis ,kably that tho tide of political animosity is urning very high. Scarcely a Radical will put is foot across the throshhold of thc White House, * tho abodo of any of tho Cabinet, excepting ;anton. At General Grant's, tho participants arc ixed and excessively distant.

The mercury in ie thermometer stood at, or rather fell to, ton 3grcos, and the air bit much more shrewdly than has bitten yet this winter. People muffled icmselvcs up more closely in thoir furs, and still livered with the cold. The venders of candy, ' suny songs, cheap watch-guards, walking canes, nd Yankee notions generally, kept up a perpetual totion with their half frozen feet as they stood at ?eir respective posts. Tho razor-strop man ugged himself in thc endeavor to expel the cold, nd danced on an imaginary treadmill. Evcry ody uco-r.cd to bc half frozen, and to bc hurrying ?rward in eager haste to get within rango of a nnfortable lire. It was the coldest day of thc oar so far--verily thc winter of our discontent. Tho skating points were, of course, all crowded, nd thc ice in splendid condition. At tho Central ark, a skating match is to como off to-morrow; ic prize, a pair of skates, valued at fifty dollars; hilst to-day begins thc grand tournament at Oat lan's Rink, in which those most expert in tho rt, both in thc United States and Canada, will take art. Thc yacht racing mania spread so extensively ere, having even attacked a .Minister of the Gos? el, who, as I informed you in a .previous letter, rew therefrom n, text for a sornion, that thc pilots ot excited, and a match was mado up between ?vo of their boats to run across the Atlantic for a orso of fifty thousand dollars. The Commission^ rs of Pilots, however, forbid thc match, where ire it will hot como off, A curious case of what we may call wife larceny ame up in .Court herc yesterday. A man namoi troet oceanic enamored of ono Mrs. Freeman, who did not love her hege lord in a particularly extravagant maimer, but, on the contrary, sighed for Street and regretted that she was nota froe woman. Street issued an emancipation proclama? tion on hie own account (and on hers), stole tho ladv from her home: in Chicago and brought her on hore, and put up at a first-class hotel as Mr. Sto?le and lady-a most appropriate ninio under the circumstances. 'Freeman endeavored to get his wife back aud failed, whereupon he has brought suit against Street for ten thousand dollars dam? ages as a greenback bahn to his wounded hoart. The Court has not yeo decided whether or not this be too mush balm to apply. rhe Congressional Committee appointed to ex? amine into the revenue frauds, are hard at work hore, and were closeted till a very late hour last night in ono of the rooms of tho Astor House. They havo examined a number of witnesses, whoso testimony goes to provo that poor old Uncle Sam has been swindled on a most gigantic scalo, so much so that wore tho mammoth cheating to go* on thera would he hut little chanco for the old gen? tleman over to he rich old Uncle Sam, from the revenue receipts at any rate. A number of ladies of high standing and in? fluence held a temperance meeting last night at the Chapel of the Parker Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, and it was resolved that the Excise Law is a good thing-which may bc true-and that in? toxicating beverages aro bad-which is not always strictly tho case. It was, moreover, resolved that thc ladies should refuse to smile upon those of tho storuor sex who indulgo in smiles of a different nature. Tho workmen employed in digging a trench around tho new Court House huildhig in Cham? bers street, were much surprised yesterday at un? earthing a half bushel bf human hones" together with a couple of skulls that looked as though they may have once belonged to Yorick and Yorick's brother, as they grinned most hideously. A largo crowd, of course, soon gathered around to witness a scene from Hamlet free of chargo, but tho work? men wore not well up on tho grave-digger's parts, and no Hamlet was there to give them their cues, wherefore the grinning s'-ulls were put away, and tho grinning crowd dispersed. Another great pianist has arrived hero, having como all the way from Kio Janeiro to show us how tho instrument ought to bo played-to show us who have hoird Thalberg and G-otschalk, Wclhi, Poznanski, Arthur Napoleon, and a host of others; to play boro whero ono cannot stand at any comer and swing a fishing rod without bringing down a half dozen first-rate pianists. Nevertheless, it is said that Oscar Pficffcr will astonish tho Gotham itcs, and make the piano do doods never done by piano "before. Tho ladies need not fall in lovo in advance with Mr. Pticffer, for ho is drawing in the double harness of matrimony, and his wife, who is with him, is a first-class Rio Janeiro operatic singer. It is said thst Head Centre Stephens sailed for Europe last Saturday, having lirst relinquished all control over the Fouian affairs. It would he as well for tho outiro Fenian Circle to follow suit, and give up a game that there is not, and never has boen, thc^ghost of a shadow of a chauce of win nine. Tho authorities seem to bo in earnest in their war upon tho army of Faro, and thoro is a gnash? ing of teeth and a'lnding of faro boxes among tho gamblers. It is, however, just as impracticable to shut up the gambling houses in tuis city as it would bo te bail out tho Atlantic Ocean with a pint cup. People will gamble, people will drink, and all the anti-gambling and excise laws in the world cannot prevent them from doing aa 1-hoy plcaso. Theatres all drawing and skating ponds crowded. _MOULTRIE. State Items* MINISTERIAL.-Rev. J. \V. Humbert, the recent? ly appointed pastor of tho M. E. Church at this station, has arrived and commonccd his labors. Ho preached on Sunday last. May his sojourn among us bc ploasant and profitable to himself, the church, and community. [ Greenville Mountaineer. BODY FOUND.-At the request of Mr. Davis, Cap? tain Earlo hold an inquest on Friday last, upon a body found in tho informant's mill-pond, just out- ; side the corporate limits of our town. j It proved to be tho body of a negro girl, of 18 or 20 years, and was found in a barrel, which con- 1 tained rocks for thc purpose of sinking it. Tho 1 body was dressed in a bluo flowered muslin or lawn, and a neatly worked chemise, but thc cloth? ing was quite rotton, and tho body was so much decomposed as to prevent recognition. Alargo knife was foundjin the barroi, which, with the cir? cumstances of tho body boing barreled and thrown into tho pond, raised tho suspicion of foul play. Dr. J. M. Westmoreland made a closo post mor? tem examination, bat no evidence of" violeuco was .found. Wo havo heard of no sudden disapperancc, and thc matter is wholly lott in doubt, us to how tho body got there. Tho verdict of the jury, after a careful investigation, WUB, "that deceased came to her end by eomo unknown cause.'' t Greenville Enterprise. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.-From a friond wo learn that Mr. George Jemiey and his family, residing iu the lowor part of this District, had quito a narrow escape a short limo since. It seems that an old bombshell, which had been lying abo"t his yard for sorao timo, was takon into liU hov.no and con? verted into a fire-dog. The family and h?nsolf were sitting around tho hearth, when suddenly tho old missilo exploded, bursting into a hundred or moro fragments, scattering destruction in every direction, tearing his mantlc-picco and sundry ar? ticles of ftmiituro in piecoH, and, strange to say, not ono member of thc household waa injured. This Providential encapo from death should servo as a warning to those who meddle with shells. Barnwell Sentinel. FOUND DEAD.-On Thursday ovoning tho dead body of ? man was discovered lying hi thc waler at thc uoper part of Fisher's Pond, about two miles below thiB city, by John Glaze, who was hunting hi that vicinity. The body, on being brought to tho city, was identified by several of our citizens as being that of Dr. Radslcy, a dentist, who passed through Columbia about six weeks ago. Deceased was alxnit S feet 8 inchos in height, slightly groy hah* and whiskers, and was between forty and fifty years of ago. Tho causo of his death is a mystery.-Carolinian. DEATH OP JAMES C. CALHOUN.-Tho Abbeville Banner rocords tho doath ol' Jamos C. Calhoun, of that District. Ho had been ni failing health, and thc Banner understands that lie emigrated to Tex? as to recruit, riding across t?o plain by himself. Ho becunio exhausted by tho way, and was found speechless iu thc midst of tho vast praisie soli? tudes of Toxus. Dining tho last month there has been a large exodus of our colored atizona from this District, and we believe from tho adjoining Districts of this State. Tho drain is fearful. Tho short crop of last year and tho hard winter aro making them think of bottoring their condition in Arkansas, Louisiana and Florida. It is a striking event in many aspects. Thc great bulk of tho race of Ham will soon bo in tho Volloy ol' the Mississippi, whero cotton grows in perfection. What effect will this have upon the prosperity of our old State? It will causo at first a deficioncy of labor; but what thon? Two things must happen, and the sooner Lho bettor. Tho whites of all clansos here must pull off their coats and go to hard work, aud wo must havo au immigration of a hardy, industrious, thrifty white raco to fill tho places of those going away. There is ono thing unfortunate-tho able bodied go, leaving tho weak and infirm. This is not right. Whoo thoy go they ought to take their faniilics, "lock, stock aud havvcW-Abbeoille Ban? ner. FAT.IL AFFRAY.-WO learn by passongorB on the Greenville Road that a difficulty occurred nour Chappcll's Depot, on Friday last, botween Stan? more Chappell and a man named Payne, which re? sulted in the doath of tho former and tho sovcro wounding of tho latter. A freedman was also killed in the affray. Wo have not learned tho foll particulars, and therefore refrain from further comment.-Plionix. FIRE.-On Friday morning last, betweon throe and four o'clock, the dwelling houso of Mr. S. P. Anckor, on Lyttleton street, abovo Laurens; was discovered to "bo on fire. The flames, when dis? covered, had so enveloped the house, that the un? conscious inmates could only bo rescued through the windows, without being able to save even their wearing apparel. The residence of Mrs. Ar? thur, on tho south, and that of Mi'. Wittkowsky on tho nortli of tho burning building, were in immi? nent danger, and the latter, especially, was saved with difficulty by the intelligent and earnest efforts of the fire department; citizens, and froedtn?? generally. The origin of the fire is not known. Wo learn Binco our last that tho carriago houeo of Mrs. Alicklo.'in this district, was destroyed by I lire, wita six bales of cotton. Thc particulars have ! not roached us.-Camden Journal. j GOOD NEWS FOR CAMDEN.-Jest as wo go to press I Colonel Shannon, a director in tho South Caioiina ! Railroad, has shown us tho official assuranco cf Mr. Magrath, President, that tho work of recon? struction of Camden Branch will bo commenced on 1st February prox.-Ibid. A SHOCKING AFFAIR.-Tho following, as wo havo gathered thom from a person who was present ut the examination of witnesses boforo tho Coroner's inquest, aro tho circumstances that led to tho killing of "Mage" Henderson, a son of Judge H. Ii. Hondorsou, by Samuol Hardaway, in Wakulla County, on last SatiircRy" aft; moon. Headers on was standing in tho piazza of Hardaway's house, and used some expression which Hardaway thought insulting, when he waa shot and instantly killed by tho latter. Hardaway remained in tho houso until he was arrested tho next dav. Tho Coroner's jury rondored a verdict for murder, and Hardawav was brought up to Tallahassee on Tues? day, by the Sheriff of Wakulla County, and lodged in jail, to await his trial before a higher court. Thc unfortunate prisoner is, wo learn, over sixty years of age. Tho old story, "whiskey and some frail fair one," aro said to bo at thc bottom of this deplorable affair.-Tallahassee Sentinel. REAL ESTATE IN BALTIMORE.-Tho Baltimoro (Md.) American says that an "enormous amour, t of property has changed hands in that city during thc last year. A reforenco to tho books at thc Exchange Salesrooms for ISfili will show that of real and leasehold property four hundred and seventy-eight pieces were offored, of which throe hundred and eighteen were sold, at prices ranging from threo huudrod dollars up to seventy-six thousand dollars. In thc sales arc comprised a number cf valuable farms and countrv seals, and the aggregate sales " ill roach beyond a million of dollars. Ono hnndred and sixty pieces of property were offered and withdrawn, because the bid?i were not satisfactory to tho owners or persons offering for sale. During thc year there were forty-nine ground routs sold, oui they were gen? erally small. Three steamboats and ono sailing vessel were sold. Among thc real and leasehold property wore forty-five houses bold by the city collector for arrears of taxos," On tho 15th lUBt, nt Walterboro1, S. C., hy ROT. E. C.
