[SPECIAL COBBESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS.]
WASHINGTON, March 27.
STANTON AND THE PEESIDENT
Are at loggerheads, and the former will certainly
bo removed if Congress retires from tho field un?
til next December, so as to do away with the neces?
sity of looking to an ?inmediato confirmation of
the War Minister's successor.
Yesterday, when the adjournment question was
running high in the Senate, who should stalk into
that Chamber but the burley form of STANTON.
The latter bas come to understand the imminence
of his removal, and relies solely upon obtaining
from Congress the passage of a resolution of con?
ditional adjournment, to save him from such in?
nommons retirement. It was easy to note, evon
from the Senate gallery yesterday, how zealously
he had entered upon the work of circumventing
the Administration in the determination to remove
him.
While the debate upon the adjournment was
wannest, tho wily old Minister moved from the ear
of one Senator to that of another, until tho wholo
Radical round was completed, bogging that he
might not be loft alon? to face the Presidential
wrath. A subsequent voto upon the proposition in?
dicates that tho councils of STANTON had bat little
?fibct upon the desire of the Senate to go home
ivithout looking to a reconvocation before the al?
lotted time in December next. Bnt in the House
ie fared better, and that body are likely to hold
stubbornly out against any proposition that docs
lot look to reassembling upon proclamation of
be presiding officer in each House, at least twice
jetween now and next fall.
STANTON discovers that notwithstanding the
weeney of the Tenure of Office Bill, that act doos
lot prevent the Executive from removing a mem
?r "of the Cabinet, not appointed by him, and
lenee hi? alarm. While "tho rump7' stands by to
reto the nomination of his successor, the Secretan- i
'eels tolerably secure, but with that stay gone, <
way goes the incumbent, and (tnone so poor os to ]
lo hun reverence." i
THE RADICAL CRUSADE IK THE SOUTH. <
You will have noted that a republican caucus i
ias lately decided to assess the radical treasury, 1
ibo sum of ten thousand dollars for furnishing ?
?ampaign documents, to tho benighted heathen of <
be u n con s true te d States. It may bo equally cheer- 1
ng for your readers to learn that WILSON, the im
naculatc Senator from the upper country of Mas- <
i acL use tts, is firm in the faith, that the South, with <
proper missionary service, upon the part of zealous i
radf?, may be converted to the Congressional creed, ]
ind become heDcefoith a field of swelling harvests <
in the inter est of "the great idea." To be cons is- i
bent with this tm dorian ding of the situation, I
WILSON proposes to organize upon the adjenru- >
ment of Congress, a small squad of select republi- i
oan orators for the miraculous work above indica- i
ted. No doubt you will see the rotund ex-cobbler ;
of Natick, advertised to preach thc gospel of uni- i
versa! suffrage in your midst, before the Ides of <
March are well gone by. , . i
MAR?LAND TO BE RECONSTRUCTED. j
Tb' Radicals are determ.nel that Maryland <
shall be stirred to such wrathful commotions of >
tht oopulace as will necessitate the intervention (
3 f Uni ted States troops to preserve public order, ano
so give Congress the excuse-long coveted-of de- 1
charing the commonwealth under martial rule, and f
susceptible of civil restoration only upon Buch '
.erins as are indicated to your disloyal selves. To '
io this, a few hundred Radical adventurers in the
State, mainly in ?'i!timore, propose to seize upon <
the call for a pending Constitutional Convention 1
is a pretext for precipitating riot and general hub- 1
bub at every available point, until the interpom- 1
tlon of tho General Government carries the object .
they desire, viz : The reduction of the State gov- <
arnment, and transfer of its control to the military l
iistrict which it adjoins. Prominent in this move '
3 JNO, A. J. CBESWULL, Ex-Sonator from the '
State. But the scheme will fail signally in con- ]
mmation, though it is probable that the Radicals '
nay provoke the spilling of blood, and consider- i
ible popular commotion between now and the 1
next succeeding sixty days. 1
Gov. BOND, however, has the conspiracy well in 1
band, and instead of afixightdngly calling upon 1
Washington for bayonets to queU tho tumult, will <
promtly call out a posse cotnMalus strong enough <
to sweep the insurgents from the field, i t is in this <
that the Radicals hava falsely reckoned, by reason 1
af too long a trust in forces foreign to the State. '
Gov. BOND has weighed and sifted the conspiracy ?
(rom its inception, and will deal with {t unsparing- i
ly. It will be remembered that despite the extra- ''
ordinary- endeavor i used last fall tc qua^h hie mu- i
m ci pal appointments of Police CvW US ?-sioners of
Baltimore, and tito subsidization ot cfrti in officer;; i
af the local courte to advert a. .d unwarrantable '
ruling in the premises, the Governor came out of
the embroglio with 2ym? colors. The fight is to
be upon a larger scale this tune, but the result will i
be tho same beyond a peradventure. VIDEX.
CONGRESS,
WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE.-Mr. Howard presented and asked for
the reference to the Committee on tho Judie ary
of a statement of the Bank of Commerce of New
Yortt to the effect that in December, I860, Mr.
Thomas, Senator elect from Maryland, had, ns
Secretary of the Treasury, withdrawn the funds
which were io be applied to the payment of the in?
terest on United States bonds, for the purpose of.
dishonoring the national credit. A joint resolution
was passed transferring fifty thousand dollars
from the Freedmen's Bureau to be used by thc
Commissioners of Agriculture to purchase seeds
for distribution in tho ?Southern States. A bill was
pns?ed providing for the removal and re-location
of certain Indian tribes.
A Bill was passed authorizing the settlement of
the accounts of lino officeis who were unable io
make then* regular monthly reports on account of
being held as prisoners of war. The Bill supply?
ing ncficiencies m the appropriation for the con?
tingent expenses of the Senate for tho current fis?
cal year, es amended by tho House, was taken up
and a number of amendments were adopted.
Among them was one appropriating flf iy-one thou?
sand dollars for the expenses of lud?an tribes visit?
ing Washington. The bill waa then passed.
The Committee on the Judiciary made a report
in relation to the testimony in relation to alleged
frauds in the New York Custom House, trans?
mitted by the House, as implicating Senators Doo?
little and Patterson. The report of the Commit?
tee fully exonerates those Senators. A minority
I report was submitted, which also exonerates the
above named gentlemen, but gives a statement to
prove intentional fraud on the part of Collector
Smythe. The report of the Committee was adopt?
ed. A motion was then mode to print the testi?
mony taken before the Judiciary Committee.
Pending its consideration the Senate went into
executive session, and at its closo adjourned.
HOUSE OF REFBESENTATIVES.-The Senate bib to
charter the Lincoln Monument Associa ion of tho
City of Washmgton was taken from tho Speaker's
table and passed. The Spe?ker was authorized to
reappoint the select committee on Southern rail?
roads, with power to 6it during the recess. Thc
Committeo on tho Judiciary reported back thc
House bill relativo to the claims o' certain North?
ern creditors of Southern banks and films, and
recommended concurrence in tho Senate amend?
ments. After considerable discussion the bill and
amendmeuts wore laid on the table.
The resolution of tho Senate in relation to ad?
journment was then taken up. An amendment
was offered by Mr. Schcnck, of Ohio, providing for
an adjournment to-^ay until the first Wednesday
in June, and the fir 'Vednesday in September of
tho present year, uoiess tho President of the
Senate and the Speaker of tho Houdo shall, by
feint i roclaniution, declare that there is no occa?
sion for the meeting of Congress r.t tho time*
specified. He then made a long speech in favor of
iii peaching the President and in relation to affairs
in Maryland. He said that Congress should not
adjourn until something was done in regard io
Maryland. If not, he believed the scones of blood?
shed" in Now Orleans would bo repeated before the
next meeting of Congress.
A letter from Judge Bond to Cel. Forney, setting
forth the "difficulties surrounding Union mon in
Maryland," and asking the interference of Con?
gress, was read. After some additional discussion
the resolution was adopted-yeas 7-1, nays 51. The
House passed a joint resolution declaring tho pro?
posed consolidation of tho British North American
provinces to be contrary to the declared principles
of this Government, and also a resolution express?
ing tho sympathies of this Government with the
peoplo of Ireland and Candia in all the just effort j
they are making to secure tho independence of
their countries.
m A resolution was adopted declaring it to bo the
'sense of the House that Henry A. Smythe should

[FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.]
NEW YORK, March 27.-Temperance is a good
thing, and politics may bo a good thing, too, at
timea. and when it is of a proper brand; but it
were perhaps better not to mix them up together
in the same dish. It is related of a gentleman in
uneasy circumstances, who lived, or rather vege?
tated, in a third-class boarding-house, that on
taking his seat at breakfast table, one morning,
iud finding tho sugar dish half full of sugar and
half full of flics, he remarked to the landlady that
uo was found of Bugar, and had a great respect,
?ot lo say affection for flies, but that he preferred
having them served up in separate dishes, if con?
venient. Politicians and temperance men aire be?
ginning to serve up the political sugar and t?m?
pora te flies in the same dish, as for example: At a
neeting at Plymouth Church, last night, where
HORACE GREELEY, using his eloquent tongue as an
ill-potent spoon, stirred the two things togother,
jontending that the sale of alcohol should be regu?
lated (.nd restricted by legislative onactment, and
;hat the traffic in all intoxicating liquors should be
likewise regulated by law'. Now it may'be ali very
veli to endeavor by legitimate means to keep up
ike temperance movement, but if dealers are tobe
arohibited from selling whiskey because men Who
mrchase may so use it, or rather so abuse it, as
,o injuro themselves, the Legislature may fust as
veil pass a law placing restrictions upon the sale
>f cheese, because buyers may. make it up into
CVelah-rarebitB, and by eating too much thereof
night injure the'r digestive organs. What with
uliversal suffrage, temperance, women's rights.
?enianism, and all sorti of isms, everything is
rotting to be mixed up in such a fly-and-sugar
'a sh ion that we, the independent boarders in Uncle
Sam's large hotel, will soon have to eschew each
md every dish, or chow them altogether.
The committee appointed to examine into the
iffairs of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, the
lircctors of which have been charged with having
mrposely flooded the market with stock,, bringing
t down from two hundred abd thirty to one bun?
ked and twenty (par value one hundred), and
ni tiing LEONARD W. JEROME and others, hus been
lard at work, but has found out nothing so far.
JEROME himself is ono of tho directors, and it is
therefore hardly probable that there could have
jeon anything wrong behind the curtain.
Tho criminal record in the courts here of late
shows an alarming increase in the number of per?
sons arrested, charged with the horrible crime of
Infanticide and murder, by means of the attempted
production of abortion. Within the posit week
:hore have been two instances in which the unfor?
tunate victims of the last-named crime have gone
JO their dread account. Tho horrible profession
seems to pay largely here, for many of its male and
female practitioners Uve in marble palaces that
rent for at least five or six thousand dollars per
?mum. If there over was one-half of the immorality

The Herold predicted yesterday again that we
w ould have a fail of rain or mow within three days
md a half; but ene day*has elapsed, and behold
pre are favored with another snow storm. In to?
morrow's issue tho weather-wise Herald will brag
jugely, and moke another prediction, which will,
jf course, again be verified, for the clerk of the
weather seems to have BROW on the brain, and
people hare given up all hopo of having any
mmmor at all this year.
Tho extraordinary movement here among all
classes, and in all circles of society, in favor ot
riving entertainments for the benefit of the desti
Luto people of tho South, is daily gaining in popu
.aiity. Theatrical pcoplu, operatic people, drona
people, concert singers, and amateurs, are all
corking bravely in the good cause, and night after
sight are concerts, theatrical entertainments and
tabloaus given at Jerome's theatre by the first
adies of the Fifth Avenue. In consideration of
this last mentioned circumstance, it becomes ms
bo explain how it is that the performance of the
Charleston amateurs for the bendfit of fae South*
srn Mai nal Aid Association of your city has not
:ome off as I had announced that it would. The
ladies had consented to perform provided they
ivould not bo compelled to appear in a public
theatre or hall-wherefore JEROME was applied to
?nd promised tho use of his theatre. It appears, -
however, that he has been compelled t withdraw
his offer on tho ground that thc Ladies' Southern
Relief Association here, to whom he had tendered
tho iso of the building, will koop it fer an inde?
finite period, during which time it can only be med
for entertainments givon under their patronage
and for the benefit of then: OTU Society. Whether
or not tho amateurs will make arrangements to
to play the: ' nnder such conditions I have not yet
occn able to learn.
A night or twp ago a concert, in aid of the cause
referred to above, was given in tho immense par?
lors of tho magnificent i esidonco of M. STOUOHTON,
on Filth Avenue, aud a largo amount was realized.
Tho ladies who shone most conspicuously were the
Mieses PARKER and BOUPHEXMZB, of this city, Mrs.
WILSON, also of New York, and Miss BROOKS, of
Detroit. Critics say that Miss BROOKS Bings quite
as well and artistically as the best professionals of
the Italian Opera. j
The merchants of New York may dorerve the re?
putation they have acquired for shrewdness, yet
thsv are not so wise but that they can be taken in
now and then. A man who calls hun soli MARTIN
(that which wo call a roseby any other namo would
smell as sweet) has been oarrying on, since Sep?
tember 1858, the neatest kind of a swindling game,
and has como out ahead to the tune of ten thou?
sand dollars. MARTIN'S stock in trade consisted in
a quantity of "cheok" and a subscription list pur?
porting to bo for the bouefit of tho indigent mom
cers of tho Insurance) patrol He called regularly
once a year on the firm of H. B. CLAPLTN & Co.,
and walked off as regularly with a ton dollar bill,
and BO with other houses, and verily his business
did flourish and prosper. Yesterday, however, ho
was arrested, and now is MARTIN'S occupation
gono.

of Pendleton. On Friday last, Col. David S. Tay?

Tho weather continaos cold, cloudy and unfa?
vorable to planting interests. Winter seems to
withdraw his icy mantle with reluctance. Thia
state of weather cannot last much longor-it would
be contrary to tho long established rules of nature;
so we may reasonably expect, before many days,
that spring will, in truth, burst upon us, and that
vegetation will spring forth vigorously to the de?
light of all. Wo aro informed by some of our ex?
perienced planters that th? fruit crop was not se?
riously injured by tho lato freeze.-Marion &ar.
It has b?on found that the recent cold and heavy
sleet did not entirely destroy the peach crop in
this section of tho country. The damage, too, to
tho early plan IG ol tho garden was not so serioue
as waa apprehended ut thc time. After days of
cold and cheerless weather, the genial sunshine
again gladdens nature, aud it rejoices as it springs
again into new life. Let tho heart of mau-de
spito the gloom and misforiuno in which tho coun?
try is enveloped-catch the impulsa, aud rejoico in
the sun-light of the beneficent Creator.-Sumter
Watchman.
SHOOTING.-An unfortunate shooting happened
ou Saturday night, from tho effects of bad whiskey.
Tho actors (H. Kates aud Sui. Hubert) in tho un?
fortunate affair, have been always cousiderod
blameless and inoffensive in their walk, but on
this occasion suffered themselves to bo overconio
by drink, and while deprived of their better sense,
shot at and wounded an old freedman, named
Pratt Wo sincerely sympathize with all parties,
and hope that a warning may be taken by all who
indaigo in tho practice of drinking.-Newberry
Herald.
GENERAL CONTINUANCE.-Tho court at Chester
commenced ou Monday last. Shortly ofter ils or?
ganization, the Solicitor, Major C. D. Melton,
moved that tho entire civil docket be continued.
The motion was heartily concurred in by the vari?
ous members of the bar, and tho Judge so ruled.
Thia course cannot be pronounced "unconstitu?
tional," and yet, temporarily, has the samo effect
as if legislation had deferred the usual proceed?
ings on the civil dooket.

Sorest Roman authors. Also the fourth edition

in 1703, has an acknowledgment on the title-p:

THE IBBBPBESBIBLE CONFLICT_On Sun iay after?
noon last our village was the scene of a fierce and
irrepressible conflict. The holy day makes the
deed appear more unholy I Four or five soldiers
of the Federal garrison became "bifurcated with
hot shots from a blue-ruin decanter," and very
wantonly disturbed the peace of a colored family.
These soldiers, we understand, are of Coltish ori?
gin. Their feet were at one time on their native
bog. They have a national antipathy to
reptiles, and swear by St. Patriok. They
aro devotedly attached to potatoes, and
have an abiding faith in good whiskey.
By some means, as we have already insinuated,
the said Coltish gentlemen and a quantity of the
said good whiskey got inside of each other ; and
straightway the Celts were upon the war-path. As
they wended their devious way along our Maui
s reet. they chanced to approach the residence of
an American citizen of African descent-Phil. Hill
-a good, honest, well-meaning fellow. Phil, was
pot at homo ; he was "up town perhaps ponder?
ing, in pensive mood, the long standing but now
thoroughly avenged wrongs of his nation. The
Celts entered his domicile forcibly, and spread
terror and dismay among the t?males of his farni
Iv. Mrs, Phil, crept forth ?nd surreptitiously dis?
patched a messenger for Phi!. The untutored Ai?
rean rushed to the rescue, and, excited to frenzy
by the base aggressions of the Celts, pitched in
upon the latter wiih most valorous vim.
It being Sunday, Phil's friends were lying round
loose. They flew to arms. More Celts arrived
upon the field of glory. Tia impossiblb to describe
the scene 1 A combat ensued that promised a vory
serious termination. The result had like to have
been the same as in tho fight of the Kilkenny cats.
It Beemed probable for some time that noth ng
would bo left but a few mangled remains for the
coroner to hold an inquest upon.
But tho Africans triumphed gloriously. One
Celt was cut; another was shot, though not killed;
while another was brought to the ground by an
unerring brick from the vengeful hands of Mrs.
Tho commandant of the post arrived up on the
scene, and spoedily dispersed tho combatants.
Phil was arrested and carried to headquarters, but
upon representations of his good character being
made to the commandant, and sufficient surety
given of his appearance when the matter was in?
vestigated, he was released. As forthefoemen
whom Phil thought worthy (?) of his Bteel, we
imagine they havo had time in the guardhouse to
set thoroughly sober, and to reflect maturely upon
the nature and results of "irrepressible conflicts"
in general.-Edgqjield Advertiser.
