' DEBATE ABOUT ADJOURNMENT AND OE?BGIA SHARP WORDS BETWEEN SUMNER AND ANTHON S -THE TENTJBi-OF-OFFICE DIFFICULT! SETTLED ALEXANDER H. STEVENS ON HIS DEATHBED WASHINGTON, March. 31_IN THE SENATE daring a discussion in regard to adjournment Sumner said that tt was wrong to discuss ?until the Georgia question was settled in all its franchises. Howe retorted that Congress had already bad enough timo, and that, moreover, Bomething elso was noeded besides timo and Congressional action, namely good pense Anthony said that ho had como to the conda sion that it waa beat to let Georgia take care of herself. He didn't think it waa necessary to do anything for Virginia, Texas or Mississippi this session. Those States did net seem will ing to come in, and be did not think Congress could help it. Sumner said then that he sup? posed Anthony intended to abandon those States. To which Anthony replied that he only proposed to abandon them in the same manner aa he proposed to abandon Rhode Isl and^Massachusetts and other States. The conference report oa tho lonure-of office bill was adopted. IN THE HouaE. Whit te tn ore introduced a joint resolution postponing the Texas elec-ion Referred to tbe Reconstruction Committee. The Commit tea of Ways and Means was instructed to inquire into the expediency of revising and enforcing the direct tax in the lately rebellions States. The conference report on the Tennre-of-of floe bill was adopted, and the bill goos to the President. Butler presented a bill for removing political disabilities from loyal people. In answer to questions, Butler said that it applied to every body, to every loyal man. It was ordered to be printed and referred to the Reconstruction Committee. The bill requires a petition to the UnitecHfcates Courts in which the appli? cant says that be admits and believes that the Confederate General and State Governments were rebellious and treasonable, and that he truly repents all acts done iu maintenance thereof. The Mississippi bill was discussed at great length, Farneswortb, Schenck and Davis urg? ing postponement. A private dispatch from Macon, Ga., an nouaces that Alexander H. Stevens is oa his deathbed. The Tenare-of-offlce bill, as passed, uses the word suspension in the sense of removal, and requires the President to nominate for vac m oies within thirty days after the meeting of Congress.

Over thirty thousand men word io the ranks, and an im? mense multitude of people witnessed t:>o spec? tacle. The weather was squally and snow fell in the morning, in consequence of which the execution of tbs manouvres was delayed anti after noon. Some accidents happened, and several persons were hurt,'but no one serious? ly. A portion of the channel fleet was off the shore and went through movements of naval review, exchanging salutes with the batteries on land. _ SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. Blodgett bas been reappointed postmaster of Augusta, vice Summers, removed. The Democrats have carried Sing Sing, New York, by 250 majority, a gain cf ?30. The American consular agent, who was car? ried from Gibara to Havana, in irons, has been released. The tracks of the Hudson River Railroad at Poughkeepsie are flooded. Ton cai s ran into thetrrver yesterday, but nobody was hurt. All the trains were behind time. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Grant1* Unfriendly Fr len dr - Wash b arne's S lt li fal manipulation ot* the President-A Man and His Master. The Washington correspondent of the New York WorH writes : It now appears that in the orierinal plan of the Cabinet, Fessenden was to have been Sec? retary ot State: but when that came to Wash burue's eaiB, be dictated the substitution of himself. Grant now asserts that the arrange? ment only covered a uomination to the Sou.ito, and that Wasbburno was never even to qualify for the office. But once confirme 1, Washourne demanded his commission, which tho abject President cave. Then, as premior, Wa*hburne began to parcel ont tho offices. Appreciating the pecuniary greed of Grant, tho Secretary of State rapidly found eligible placos tor the Grants and Dents,'to the remotest generation, and thus rarcotised bis victim, while the chief ap? pointments at home and abr jadwore distribut? ed about in tbe interest, ot the Wash burtie family. Thus Gibbs, Sickles, Ford, and a hun? dred "others, were made secure of Graut's pro? mise. At last public ODinion began to force its way through the President's cranium; he made an effort to throw off the shackles, but WASH burne soon brought the lormerto a realizing sense of bis dependence. At last, however, public opinion began to tell upon Washburne himself. He saw that the country was jeering at h im as the head of the Dep.tr.mint of State-him an ignoramus in international law, aud incapable to defino the mero geography of Europe. The jeering hastened his determination to leave the depattment earlier than he had at first intend? ed, and set offatonoe f jr Paris, provided he could at first bully Grant into the n edod com? mittals for controlling the distributiou of offices. The Stewart fiasco, the message thereon that was rejected by the Senate, tue contempt of bis frieuds, and tho derision of his enemies, had brought President Grant to his m arro w bouoB. An arrogaut, and some say insolc.it recital by Washburne, of thj labors and trials,, "individually" of him who h .d iuapired and upheld Graut's career from the tannery o thc Wu ito House, and by influence over the admin? istration of Lincoln had destroyed, or caused to bp destroyed, one by nue, all the command era of tbe army of the Potomac, aud *?y tiur rying on the reserves during the terrible ami needless slaughter of tho Wilderness bad mado possible for Grant what otherwise would hovo been an impossibility-this recital, I sa-, had the effecc of a loaded revolver at the head of au unarmed man. Grant broke down. Hm answer was. "Any? thing, anything you ask, Washburne, provided you leave tho country at once." Thence came a loi ot promises extorted with a purpose, on Waahburno's part, to make him? self a Bort of American vicegerent in Europe, and his friends supreme at home in the Treas? ury D.-partmeut. From this came Grant's backing away from A. T. Stewart. . The President now sees how ike a whipped spaniel he bas beb ved. and seeks to lay down the eros3, but Washburne is relentless. And hw-re comes in ono explanation of Grant's play? ing fast and loose with the Tenure-ot-office hn% His real motive is to have an excuse for nor sending just now to the Senate the ap? pointments prumised to sVushburnc. lt somo Cabi ot officer would stand between Grant and Washburne, it would be all 6erene, but no.oue volunteers. SOUTH CAROLINA. Interesting Letter from Senator Rob? ertson- The Soil, Climate and Natural Productions of the Palmetto State Political and Social Status of the Peo? ple. Tho following letter was recently forwarded by U. S. {Senator Robertson.to a lady residing in Whiteside County, Illinois, who addi eased him, asking his advice in regard to the desirability of oniigrating to the State of South Carolina: UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER, \ WASHINGTON, March 20,1860. j Madam- In reply to your letter, inquiring as to tho inducements to emigration o South Carolina, I beg loave to say : ?9 to geoeraphical division, thc State may be considered in a three-fold aspect First. The mountain or Piedmont region, embracing the counties of Anderdon, Oconee, Greenville, Spartanburg and Pickcus. Thu; part ol the Stato being in altitude) a thousand feet aad upward above the sou, is more north? ern than southern in its climate and produc? tions. It has a fine bracing climate without the long winters and deep snows of the North? ern S'ates. This region is adapted to tho grapes, grains, corn, &c., but is not so favor? able for cotton as other portions of tho state. Thc lauds are cbeap in this section. The water power is very gi eat. Second, Tho middle country, being tho rc iriontlying between tho low flat linds of the sea coast and the above described counties bordering on the mountains, embracing, Eunong others, the counties of Fairfield, Ker? shaw, Sum cr. Darlington, O? aneen rg. ?dge field, Abbcvdle, Newberry, and portions of ad? joining counties. This is the part of the State with which 1 am best acquainted, and, there? fore, of which I will principally speak. Thir I. The sea coast and low country, the choicest part of the sea coast, cousist of the islands that produce the sei island cotton. This beautiful produc ion of fine grade now commands one dollar and fifty cents a ponnd. The climate on these islands is made delight? ful and bea thiul by the sea breezes, so that in summer residences near the beach ore per? fectly salnbrious. f ho lands hero are fine ind capable of constant improvemen from tho iu lutity ol marsh mad lying within convenient reach ot the farmers. Thc roads are escollen . Every luxury of the land and tho Bea is to be onnd there-the choicest wild ducks, quanti? les of thc fiuest game, birds and deer, with tn endless supply ol rieh, crabs and oysters. These islands are the garden spots of the 1 United States, and physical existence is abso utely delightful there, i'hey realize m perf? ection the ide? of climate we have of lani ti md other islands of the Sandwich group in the Pac flo. These islands !.. time will become what the elands along the Medii rranean coast were to ibe luxurious Homans. Lands with fine old 'atnily mansions can be tonghi cheap on these lianas, and the enormous pnce the cotton pro? duced here brings, insuies tho accumulation )f great fortunes to the cultivators. To make noney, to enjoy life, these isla a ls present ad? vantages that exist hardly anywhere else. I r31 urn now to the middle country embnocd n tho second division above mentioned. S JU ' Dart ot the State has an altitude of about five IUD ired feet. This gives it a delightful ca? nute, lt is bracing in winter and pleusaut and healthful ?D sunnier. It abounds in rnuning ' orator aud cold springs. Tho land in its natu ?al condition is cover? d with magnificent lor !8t of pine, oak, hickory and dogwood, in tho '1 ipring the woods are gay with brilliant wild lowers. 1 This is a superior cotton region, and tho lOtton crop is almost a certainty; lt is free rom the invaders and uncertainties which at ackit in the Southwest. By proper cultiva ion a farmer may count almost certainly on nak?ugtivo bales of cotton to the hiv d orla- 1 ?oror. Phis, at tho preseot price id :<vo hun- 1 lied dollars co the hand in tan SUJ.-.?C- itooi of 1 otrou. Besides, this is a fine region tor < oro, wheat, 1 ats. ?c. I have known, ou trial U s, i s much < s two and a half bales of cotton, ont* o ic hun- ( rod bpohfiln OTO^MJ n?l ^TCI U.orrl^ OT ' ?heat raised to the acre. Along with the com, quantities of pumpkins ' nd cow pe .s can bo raised without any uddi oual labor of cultivation, except tho sligut rouble of planting the seed. This region is remarkable for fruit. Peaches, Kare, figs, plums, apricots, nectarines, grapes, trawberrios, raspber^?* and biaokborrics loutish remarkably welt. The grape ie peculiarly at home here. Tho a-ni>us g rape of North Carolina, the scupper ion;:, grows as in ita native locality. Every . armer, if he chose, could have a vineyard aud nake wine. Horses, mules, cattle, hogs, s'ioep and goats I lo well nore. In raising stock it is difficult to nake those anderstand who have not made tbe , ixpenmeut how much easier it is o carry stock hrough the short, mild winters of the South ( han the long winteie of the Nortb. The suu- < linne of tho South is worth, in supporting | .ninia life, untold millions of dollars. . Tho early spring, tho sommer, the late fal), . amish so groat a supply of green food that it , B a sm all matter to csrry the stock through j be short winter. In the winter the evergreen ? anes keep the stock in a thriving condition. ? A farmer, unless he tries it, bas not the . aintest idea how mach less work it takes to , ive in a mild climato like South Carolina than ; n the colder North. If the small farmers North ally realized this diff?re' ce they would fly ? rom their austere homes Southward. ! Labor here is abundant and cheap. The i aimers aro making money, and will soon be , ?cher than they over were before. Any sagacious farmer who will settle at the . sooth and learn how to raiso cotton, can, on a ?apital of a lew thousand dollars, make a baud- , lome fortuno. To illustrate, a farmer, with a capital of five housaud dollars, settles in tho South. Ou .ins capital he can rent landa and work ,weuty bauds. Eich of these hands ought, it Uie prosent price ot cotton, io bring him ; n five hundred dollars, hall of which should : ie clear money, and with an income of five housaud dollars a year clear, he eau s on , lave a fin? estate around bim. lt must bo : ?ored that a good farmer ought, in addition o bis colton crop, to mako provisions suffi lient to support b;s farm for another year, hereby dimiuishing tho expenses of tbe next . rear s tanning. i Neve:-, in my opinion, was there such an op lortmnty for tumers of sma'l capital to moko i bruni 8 as is at the South now. Lands are very cheap, ranging from two dol? ara to fifteen dollars an acre, with fa m : louses and farm buildings. Thoy have been ; idling for a much less price. They are now, ? ?owever, rising in value, and will continue to i iee from Tear to year. To insranco the im- i nouso profits of cotton planting a' thc present i imo, I wi I state that, in some of tho counties ; it the middle country, the farmers have moro i noney now than they ever hud before. i Chu -ches abound, atid good schools are in | dmoBt all millages and towns, and in many I icighborhoods. I As to tho people of Sooth Carolina. I believe i >y nature tuere are no kinder, moro honest, lospiiable and better generally than thc miss ? if our citizens. In some part's of the country hero has boen cousiderablo demoralization 1 .?un?st as a n dural re-ult ot tho war. But tho ( reneral conditio i of society, and espomtly of i ate, is rapidly improving, und I believe that I ' peak for ali .classes.af our people in sa yin t, i hat we arc anxious to eeo harmony, poaco and ? ?rosperity restored, and are not only willina tut desirous, aa a inc a us to bccur thu reault, o ha vu e: rangers erne Mid'settle among os, ?Toging their capital to build up tue , iiatiu ial prosperity of our Si ate; and hough not representing myself an audi, ided political sentiment in thc State, I think can safely assure those wno desire, like oursel; to como among- UH, a favorable if io', a cordial welcome from r-.ll classes of our itizens. I would be glad to soe thousands of mr Northern tnends settling iu South Caroli 10. There is plenty of laud and plenty of rc ourcoa there for ten times the present popu atiou. lt would be a suicidal policy on our .art to retuso a welcome to all who wish to narc them with as. developing by their pres s.ioe the wealth and industries of tho Stato. iVe invite you and vour husband and all others if a similar disposition. Tho beautiful South Qvites the people ot tho Borth to her pleasant 'cats. Wnv should voa excludo yourselves rom her dilioioiw climate, her ferule soil, her jcaatifol skies?

From the Manchester, tlnylind.Guardian, MrrohlS.] A scries of con miar reports issued on i day contained some facts furnished by Mr. Consul Walker on the trado and commerco ot N >rth and South Carolina for thu year 1868. showing tbe present condition of tho cotton industry in thu part of the American Union. As regards the port of Charleston, the trade consists of the transactions rendered necessary in tho shipment to other ports of the products of tho interior, which find their way to Charlesion f r that purpose, and to the receipt of such sup? plies as are required by tho producers iu re? turn. It is remarkable that tho cotton exp >rt ed last ye ir was less in quantity and value than m the two preceding years. In 1866 the value was ?5.313,046; in 18G7, ?4 286.840; and last year, ?4 loo OOO. It seems that while South Carolina has largely increased its pro? duction, that ot North Carolina has diminish? ed. In the former case tho quant:tv TOBO from a little over 51,000 000 lb?, or 113.686 bales, of 451) lbs. ead, in 1866, to l'JG? mil,ions lbs. or 237,009 bales last year ; whim in North Caro? lina it declined from 29,000.000 lbs. in thc first period to less than 19,000 OUO lost year; but this was slightly in advance of the quantity, though not in value, over thc preceding year. It ia impossible, however, that these ligures may not represent tho actual produco of the States ; for New York bas become a cotton mart, and bas eonstaut facilities for shipping, and an abundance of capital, of which tho South ie almost destitute. Tiioso circumstances, in combination with tho c mpoiituu III which the various rival transport companies indulge. Mr. Walker admitB, have superseded, toa very groat extent, the resort to Charleston as a cotton mart; and instead of thc prod ct being Beut there foi salo, it ia 60 dealt with iu the interior, and then ti ar s port od by some railway company, or specified hrma. to be delivered ai Now Yoik, Liverpool, or elsewhere. By this mode of forwirdiug the product, at least tbrco fifths of tho quantity brought to Charie-tou proceeds, partly coastwiBe, to Northern ports, md partly by btcam to Liverpool; aud from that proportion tho merchant at Charlestou derives no prrfit. The crops of tho spring season of 1878, being the crops of tho current year, to end 31st August, 1869, aro now reaching mamet, and tb : following conclusions aro jrawn as to their extant: As tu cottju, there aavo been received at Charleston as appears by thc commercial Btveiuent published on tue llih D. c-mbor, 69.006 balea of upland, igiiust 86 777 bales nt (bo samo time last year; IG05 bales of sea islands, against 10S3 bales; md 10 546 tierces of nco, agaiust 8681 tierces. Ibo conclusion is that tho area plautod iii up ,audcotton in tho States ofNortr. and South karolina haa boon diiaiuiabed; ind, notwith? standing the past ittvoraiilu se ison, CJUSUI '.Valker remarks, thc disuse of. artificia] man? ares, which the planters have been triable to iff ?rd, will ho found also to have seriously af? fected tho yield.

I cordially thank the authorities for sc kindly remembering my association with the great statesman of Tennessee daring tho period in which emancipation was gained, while the integrity of the Union was taved, and the constitution was not lost." -General Froissard, the governor of the Prince Imperial of France, is an excellent chess-player, and takes pains to imbue his little pupil likewise with a taste for the noblo game. The prince's father is also a good chea player, but he avoids the gamo tor a vory sin? gular reason. Though the command which Napoleon tho Third hos, as a general thing, of his temper, is almost wonderful, he gets vexod and angry whenever ho losos a game of chess. As soon as ho sees that ho is likely to lote it, ho begins to twirl his moustache, his faco be? comes flashed, and ho com nonces speaking to himself in a low tono, which is always a sure sign that he is a prey to unusual agitation. -Tho Now York Commercial Advertiser Bays : "The visitor who Bauutcrs along the much frequented causeway by Ihe river side, bctweon Hohokon and tho Elysian F.elds, will occasionally meet a modest looking littlo gen? tleman walking leisurely alone, or sometimes attended by a bright-eyed boy of five or six summers, to whom tho cares and responsibili? ties of this Jife seem no mord thun the sunshine that dances on tho water.

He had tho honor of painting a portrait -f the Emperor, and the likeness was considered to bo particu? larly successful. As soon, however, as tho Emperor saw it, he turned away with thc grea? test indignation.

Thursday last, being the anniversary, was dulv celebrated by the Phoenix Fire Company, of Darlington Courthouse, assisted by the col? ored Hook and Ladder Company. At the reg? ular annuli meeting the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year : Presi? dent, B. A. Early; Vice President, John Floyd; First Director, Tbos. Gii'espie; t?econd Direc? tor. H. rh mes; Secretary and Treasurer, A. Weinburg; Euginecr, R. Dewit; Surgeon, 0. M. Piirker, M. D.; First Axman, S. Jordon; Second Axman, J. E. Bussell. Tho De nocr t says: "On the night of the 29tb instant, between9and 10 o'clock,.Mr. Oliver Parrot's barn and stables were destroyed by fire. Mr. Parrott lives abont six miles from the courthouse on the Camden road-the neighborhood was thickly settled, and there seems to bo no doubt the fire was the work of an incendiary. Mr. Parrott bad some trouble in settling with one of his hands a few weeks sinoe. and though thc caee was decided in Mr. P.'s favor by a magistrate of the new reg me the man waa not satisfied, bat abused and threatened Mr. Parrott, both at tb 3 court? house and at homo. The evidence is very strong against this man, and after a hearing before Magistrate Welch, be was committed to jail on last Saturday." THE HAREMS OF THE EAST. True Saltan and the Sultana-Court Lille at the Turkish Capital. The following arc extracts from a series of Constantinople letters published in the Perse? vera cz a of Milan : The Sultan is an indolent man, of lymphatic temperament; he bas not had much education, and understands no European language but French, of which he oan speak a few ?ords. His favorite occupation is to look after his poultry-yard, which contains the rarest speci? mens ot ben?, ducks,geese, swans, &c. He gives enormous prices for rare birds, and passes hours in feeding Ins hens and watching his cocks fight. Among tbo higher offic als of his court there aro a few abl J mon, but the groat ma] on ty cf them, like the te?era! body of the employees of tho Siato, are ignorant and inefficient. All tho places auder government are given by favor, which is usually gained by services that cann >t bo openly acknowledged. But the in? efficiency of tho administration and the nullity of the sovereign aro a small evil compared with tho iufiionce cxerc.se I by foreign diplomaoy and foreigueis in general. * * There are really at Constantinople as many governments as foroign representatives, each of whom gives his countrymen far more protection than they would be entitled to ac home. .''he power which exercises the greatost in? fluence is Russia. Sho is tho real promotor of the domands of tho various nationalities, and especially of the 100 OOO Greek inhabitants of Constantinople, wno still dream of tho res: ora? tion of the Byzantine empire. Even in out? ward appearance the Russian Embassy is easi? ly distlncmsncn irom-mt utn-n-. it wonanra > magnificent pallico, which, being built on tho heights ot Per commands the whole of tho c ipi ml. and looks down upon tho residence of the Sultan, the Golden Horn, and the distant root's ot Stamboul, as its wide portals only awaited the eu'ry of the Czar. During the winter Beason the palace is opened to oil the higher sooiety of tho town, and in the bril? liantly lighted rooms balls and concerts are frequently gi von. At Constantinople an am? bassador is respected and feared in proportion to the magnificence of his surroundings. Though the interior of a harem is still-not? withstanding tho spread of European notions among the Turks-strictly closed to all male visitors, tho society of foroign ladies is eagerly sought by thc wives of all tho higher function? aries. The rooms they occupy, oven in the wealthiest houses, are low ana dark, and fur? nished in verv bad taste, chiefly owing to the mania of Turkish w. 'men for tawdry ornaments from Vienna or Paris. Br the sides of the finest specimens of Oriental art may fiequontly be seen a vase of common Bohemian glass, with dusty wax flowers, winch they prize more highly than many of thc beautiful ornaments of their native manufacture. The same is the case with thorr dress * * * which is a car? icature of tho fashions of Pans. They have discarded tho velvet jacket and trousers, for stays, shiny boots, long trams, and chig? nons. * * * It haB also become the fashion io learn music, and a teacher ou the piano forte inf course a lady) has mule a fortune by giving lessons in the harems. Another fash? ion is to have your portrait taken. Their fa? vorito artist is an English woman-a Miss Curtis. Some time ago this lady was commis? sioned to pt int a full-length portrait of one of tho Sultanas. Tho Sultana was short and stout, aud Mise Curtis pointed lier accordingly. This, however, gavo great off ince, and tho Sultana insisted on her being made a foot taller, sav? ing that, as she was only nineteen yours old, shu would bo suro to grov tu that size. But instead of growing taller, the Sultana only grew stouter; so that nt thc end of a twelvemonth tho por rait was almost unrecognizable. M?SB Curtis was then requested to paint the picture a third time, and it is now nailed up to the ceiling ot tho harem. _gitritl littra._ ta- OFFICE CHARLESTON CITY BALL?
