WASHINGTON, February 27.- Governor Geary and Judges Agnew and Williams all declare that their signatures to McClure's papers urg? ing Grant to appoint Curtain aro forget ies. Tho Senate has passed the sufiVago amend? ment, and it uow goe? to tue State Legisla? tures. As dually passed it confurs no right to hold office. The Reconstruction Committee have deter? mined io make no report concerning Georgia, thus leaving her representation io statu quo. In tho contested case between Menard (col? ored), and Hunt, from Louisiana, Menard was allowed to speak. Hunt declined to speak. McClure publishes a card, which discredits the exactness of the reports of his interview with Grant. It is stated that Mcculloch and Browning bava sent iu their resignations, to take effect on Monday. The Senato wing of thc eapitol will be closed March 4, except to holders cf tickets. Grant visited tba House to-day. and sont for Bout well, with whom he held a long conversa? tion regirding Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. He also conversed with Bingham, and afterwards the members, generally, gather? ed round bim k Grant's father and sister have arrived. Revenue receipts f jr the month, $10,250,000; fiscal year, to date, $92 000,000. General Giant opposes unseating the Gror gia representatives, and the postponement of the Georgia matter by the Reconstruction Committee is attributable to his influence. Gener?l Youug, member of Congress from Georgia, who has warm personal relations with Grant, bad an interview with bim last night regarding Georgia matters. General Grant said that Congress could not got around recog? nizing Georgia as a State in tho Union, anti that he himself was opposed to interfering with her at all. Grant's visit to Boutwell this morning grew ont of this interview. Tho clerk of tho House has sot yet made the roll of the next House. The recent statement that he hal omitted Louisiana, and Georgia are at loast premature. In fact, but few creden? tials have yet boen presontod. In regard to Georgia, it scorns to be understood that if thc certificates from Bullock are in the usual form, the names will be placed on tho roll, hut if the Governor makes the certificates the vehicle of argtjment or exnlunatiou, the clerk will hold thom for the consideration of the House.

[FR02I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., February 27, 1809.-The session of the.General Assembly is drawing to a close, and from fifty to sixty bills are ready for a tbird reading. Railroad interests largely pivdomicato in th J matter of unfinished busi? ness, and members arc continually besot with the inquiry, "when is my railroad coming up ?" The question is generali'.- answered by a refsrence to the Speaker of the third House, aliaa the lobby, Hon. Tim. Hurley. The lat? ter, though having no clerks, keeps well posted, and smilingly replies, "that's all right, will bo made the special order the first opportunity." Nearly every ono of these enterprises now bet?re the General Assembly are, at the pre? sent time, only seeking for charters. Such are those introduced iu the Senate by Senator Dickson, namely, the South Caroliua Central Railroad Company, which runs trom Gourdin's Station, on the Northeastern Railroad, through to Manning, and the Florence and Lancaster Railroad. Then there is the Augusta and Man? chester Railroad, and Wateree and North Caro? lina, also asking charters. Those asking aid are the Chatham Railroad, only three millions of dollars in endorsed bonds of the State; and the Union and Sparenburg B tilrond. thc lat? ter, considering its importance, making a mod? erate and modest request of fifteen hundred thousand dollars endorsed bonds. The bill to enable the Savannah and Charles? ton Railroad Company to complete its road, to the agreeable surprise of many friends, passed its second reading in thc- House unanimously to-day. There was but little debate. Ransier made an ado unible speech iu support of tho bill, and cc u elude J by offering the following as a substituto for .-cction 5, which was adopted : SECTION 5. Tho said railroad company shall deposit the iuteresLon all their aforesaid bonds as it becomes due with thc Financial Ageat of the State of South Carolina m tho Jity of Now York, and shall notify the creditors of the same bv public advertisement in one newspa ?er in New York, ono m Charleston and one m avannafa; aud if said companv shall fail to pay the interest on its debt within six months after it shall become due, or fail to pay or pro? vide for the payment of thc principal ot its debt within six .months alter it shall become due. it shall bo tho duty of the Comptroller General ot the State, and ho shall have the power, to take immediate possession of said road with all its appurtenances, and leave the same to responsible partios who shall have control theroof until tho General Assombly shall by law provide for thc settlement ot tho affairs of said company m the interest of all its creditors. The Governor of tho State is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint two directora to represent the Stato in tho di? rection of said ompany. The passage of tue bill may be regarded as a good day's work by theLcgislatuic tor Charles? ton. lt will receive ill third reading on Mon? day, ba sent to tho Seuate for concurrence in the amendment, and be enrolled for ratifica? tion, alter which ip goes to the Governor, who will undoubtedly approve it. The bill to provide for thc codification of thc Statute Laws of the State seems likely to bo the same bitter bone of contention that charac? terized the measure at tho special session. The two Houses have, so tar, been unable to agree upon its principal features, namely-the number of commissioners and tho salarios to bo given for the service rendered. A committee ot conference has been appointed, and wifi meet on Monda*' at two P. M. Cain submitted favorable reports of tho Committee ou Incorporations on the following jd ls, with a recommendatien that they do pass: A bill to incorporate the South Carolina Im? provement and Trust Company.

He remarked that nobody wanted it retained excopt the thieves aud scoundrels, and that bc will appoal to the Forty-first Congress, within which he proposes to find and form h s friends, Ibo action of tho caucus has greatly widened the breach in tho Radical party. Somo of tho Cabinet ru? mors have ripened into almost certainties. There is now no doubt but that Pennsylvania will be represented, perhaps by Mr. George H. Stewart, and that Ur. Tvarts will hold no position under the new administration. The New York members seem to think that John A. Griswold or Marshall O. Roberts will bo givon the Navy Department. Picrrepont's friends seem sanguine of his appointment as Attorney Geucral, while those of Morgan say their favorite will be made Seorotary of the Treasury. Boutwell, Holt, and Wilson, of Iowa, aie all looked upon as most probable of selection. -During the last illness of the pugilist, Aaron Jones, ho elated that he had been pois? oned some twenty-one weeks before, and re? quested that his body should bo oponed and examiucd after his death.

Kcncrftl Grant Gives his Opinion of the Tenare-of-o0ee Act - What Ile says about his Cabinet. An interview took place on Thursday morn? ing at General Grant's headquarters, between the President elect and some gentlemen from New York interested in the banking institu? tions of that city. In the course of tho con? versation one of the gontlomcn remarked that the people looked lor war J to an economical ad? ministration of the government during the ' time to come. In reply, General Grant said : "It is my desire that the affairs of the country ehould be oonducced as eeonomieally os possi? ble, and I shall try to have it so." Hare the General hesitated for a Moment, and then continued as follows: "We all know what tJieTenure-of-office law was enaoted for. lt was passed to prevent an Executive from using the office at his disposal for corrupt pur? poses, but from what they did-in Congress yes? terday, I am disDosed to think that the Senate will desire to bo the judges as to what I shall do." Auotber pause. "Well, if thoy do not repeal the law, I certainly cannot make amy changes. I cannot remove a man without making charges of a character which would blast his reputation, and that would not be very agreeable, you know; and the result will bo that the men%ho hold offioe now will con? tinue to hold thom until tho end of tho term, no matter what my desires may bo. Of course, this will save me all this office-hunting bo? ring." A gentleman, interrupting, "That will be very agreeablo, no doubt." General Grant, continuing, "Yes; but I have no doubt that there are in offico those who should bc remov? ed from the offices which they now hold. H it is tho wish to economizo, howevor, the Sonate evidently desires to be thejudgo of my actions, and I shall have to bo the judge of theirs." A gentleman, "That will throw tho responsibility on them." Grant continued: "I don't know; at any rato, I shall do the best I cac." Visitors wpre an? nounced, and.the interview ended. The le? rn arks of the President wera delivered with a pleasant, ?miling maunor, but with evident forethought. Alexander McClure, ot Pennsylvania, called upon General Grant, a few days ago, aud after inquiry if it is true that Pennsylvania is to have a member of the Cabinet, and receiving an affirmative answer, he inquired it Governor Curtin is the man. General Grant very promDtly said, "No; he is not." Mr. McClure then informed General Grant that the Republi? can party would not bo satisfied with tba nom? ination ot any but a prominent Radio il who had been identified with the parly. Such a man as Georgo H. Stewart would not answer. General G.'ant replied by saying, "1 would like io know what loyal man eau object to Mr. Stewart, or where lhere can be found a bettor or more worthy man." A parly of New Yorkers also made an effort to draw from Gcnoial Grant the name of the intended Cabinet officer to come from New York, but ho merely replied that tho nominee would bc satisfactory, no doubt.

Tolbert, relating to the 'Democratic Club at Greenwood,' I cannot hesitate, in justice to that dub, to make the following statement: I served as president of that club, from its organization until about the mi'idle of September last, when I visited the North to Bbek aid for an educational enterprise, and was gono until after the Presid2ntial elec? tion. The club I considered a legitimate party organization, most of its constitution audbr-lawa having boen copied from a printed pamphlet emanating from similar clubs in New York. A full record of its proceedings were kept by tho secretary at all times opon, and uow open to tho inspection of the public. I deny most empuatically any connection di? rectly or indirectly between what is known as the Eu-Klux-Klan and the Democratic Club of Groan? jod. If there was such an organiza? tion in the ueighoorbood of Greenwood or anywhere else in the county, I knew nothing of it while serving as president, nor have I been convinced of its existence since my return. As to tho appointment of a secret committee to break up Union Leagues by killing their lead? ers, a simple publication ot the list of members of that olub would bo the most effectual ans? wer."
