Sumner introduced a bill abolishing the frank? ing privilege, and fixing the rate of postage at one cent. A bill was introduced exempting census mar? shals from the iron-clad oath. The resolution passed, and the Senate adjourned to Monday. Sherman presented a memorial or the citizens of Maryland asking for the repeal of the law for? bidding compensation for slaves unjustly taken from theta. It was referred to thc Coinmittceon Claims. The discussion on Georgia was resumed. Pome? roy advocated his amendment makiDg Georgia a military district, and directing aa election next 'all-the present assembly to cease in December. Hamilton, ol Texas, said the war was going on in the South only. Persons who bad been disarmed at the conclusion of the rebellion were victims of " rebel animosity. The adoption of thc Bingham amendment, he held, would be the death-knell to the Republican party lu every Southern State, because unless prudently curtailed, the rebel lu fluence would practically nullify thc new State constitutions and set at naught the beneficent measures of Congressional legislation. He fa? vored the amendment suggested by Drake, to require military. intervention for the sup? pression of secret organizations, and de? nounced the organized system of outrage, arson and murder, which ls now prevalent in thc late rebellious States. This state or things showed the futility of attempting to establish civil government there. It had been argued tint the organized resistance to UK? laws were owing to the stringency of thc reconstruction measures. His answer wa3 that like powers had been delegated to commanders of all military de? partments throughout the country, and that the condition of the South was wholly exceptional. The Senator rrom Massachusetts (Wilson) had es? timated that the number or men murdered there since Lee's surrender exceeded the mortality 1st in any eagigeraon: during the war. This es? timate was a very moderate one. His own belief was that not less than ten thousand loyal hearts in the South had ceased to beat, simply because they we:e*ioyal to their country. The trivial number of arrests in comparison with this ag? gregate of crime would show th;license for these outrages in a vicious and disloyal pablic senti? ment. The practical operation of the Bingham amendment would secure to thc rebel element a remodelling of State constitutions, and the late rebel States would, in 1972, again be found rally? ing around the national Democratic councils; but the Republican party would never oatlive the mihi": of the total abandonment of the colored raoe in the South, and it was too late to reverse its record in behalf of that people. If not sup? ported by the national arm, the colored loyalists in the South would surely bite the dust; he could not live there. He (Hamilton) for one, if the prin? ciple of the Bingham amendment prevailed, would not dare return to his own cDmmunltj-. He did not believe any active Republican would da> e live there; he knew the people th?re: he was born and raised among them; had lived all his life among them, and they wera the most bload tiiirsty set or cut-throats God had ever permitted on his rootstool. Governor Bullock, or Georgia, and General Clark, or Texas, shook hands with Hamilton when he concluded his speech. Borcmao and Pool spoke against the principles or the arnon'latent. Pool favored military Inter? vention in the South. The vote to adjourn was lost by a tie vote, lt was finally agreed to tafe the final vo:e on Tuesday, at o o'clock. BOOSE.

The Justices of thc United States Su? preme Court tn a Passion. A Washington letter, or Tuesday last, says: There was a very lively sc DUB at the Supreme Coart this morning, the oldest lawyers practicing there liai...g witnessed nothing like it in their day. It arose in connection with the legal tender case, which it was expected would again be argued on its merits. At the proper hour. Mr. Potter, of New York, who is counsel in one of the cases on which the court had consented to hear further argument, in effect usked a postpone? ment for the reason thal he scolor counsel was engaged elsewhere, and another was abesent on account of Illness. The Attorney-General respond? ed against postponement, and In the course ofhls remarks spoke or the necessity tor an early hear? ing and decision, because the country is disturb? ed and will continue disturbed until the whole question at issue is settled. He also alluded to the fact that these I wo cases involve points some? what Uko those in Hie case recently decided, and in reply to Mr. Potter, denied that any order had been made which precluded a rehearing ou the point then decided. The Obier Justice here interrupted to say that according to his recollection such an order liad been made. This was said with evident retiing, and Jus? tice Miller remarked with equal feeling, t!<at he knew of no such order. Justice Nelsou, came to the rese?e oftheCbier Justice, and Justice Davis spoke up, saying that he concurred with Justice Miller. The Chief Jus? tice repeated his statement with emphasis and hardly-suppressed passion, and then upon the suggestion of Judge Davis, who remarked that it was not worth while to bandy words, lt was de? cided that thc cases might go over to next Mou day. The Attorney-General meantime bowed to the recollection of the Chief Justice, and merely ex? pressed his regret that in a mailer of this impor? tance there was no record. The point on which this dispute, so astonishing in the Supreme Court, turns, seems to be, whether there was or was not such an order made when Mr. Evans was attorney-general, as prevents a further hearing on tho question whether the legal tender act applies to debts contracted before its passage. THE PRESIDENT'S BRASS. How thc Equestrian Statue Project Came to Fall Through. Mack, tite Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, imbued with a patriotic pride in preserving the name and fame of Presi? dent Grant tn something more substantial and enduring than words, iias written a letter de? tailing the causes that have led to the abandon? ment of the project once entertained of erecting an equestrian statue of General Grunt at the National Capital. Soon after the inaugural ion. it will be remem? bered, a subscription was started for the purpose mentioned. Its cost was estimated at $55,eeo, and Hie idea was to raise this amount among the -personal friends or thc General"-to wit, those wno hail received or expected official favors at his hands. The first person who subscribed wa.? (?enerat Sherman, wno put his name down for $1000; A. T. Stewart was applied to, but refused to contribute. A lew ol ber individuals of wealth and uote were called upon, but did not respond with cheerful hearts or generous hauds. A con? sultation was then held among the projectors, at which it was resolved to -try again." Forty thousand dollars were required to make up the necessarv amount; Fisk and Gould were "inter? viewed"" hy the Indomitable "solicitor" or the "ueedful," and he felt authorized to pledge those gtutlcmeu for thia amouut. Though to be furnished by them, however, lt was not to be entered on tue papers In their names, but to be judiciously distributed among a number or Mends. But lo '. the gold excitement was ap? proaching. Grant and Fisk were-enjoying each other's sweet society and unlimited confidence, while Corbin was secretly devising thc deep strat? agems which culminated in the "blue Friday" or September. And it now appears that thc un? pleasantness between Grant and Fisk, resulting from that gold corner, led to the repudiation or the liberal subscription for the great work of art, which was to commemorate at once private grati? tude and public worth, ami "Mack," deploring that the enterprise should be thus nipped in the bud, makes an appeal to these friends who have been recipients or Piesirteutial favor to -come down with the greenbacks." Let the hat be passed ! ** OUIl -BELOVED STATE. >> Thc Solemn Protest of an Indignant Carolinian. Ti his Excellency, Governor Scott : SIR-Living as I do in seclusion, and almost in obscurity, your Washington speech has but lately reached me. The "State" you have in that speech and in other of your enactments so grossly, misrepresented, is my injured mother. My first nourishment wa3 from hex- bosom; and "life" must be extinct when the "disposition" ceases to resent her wrongs. You once profanely called her, "our beloved!" She turns from you with aver sion, and she declines your allegiance. South Carolina knows her own "legitimate" offspring, and she honors those brave children of her adop? tion, who, in good faith, and with an honest pur? pose, share so nobly her destiny, her troubles and her trials. You belong to none of these classes. As the least worthy of her sons, I come, with a wounded spirit, but with a just indignation, to enter her feeble though solemn protest against all that you have said touching her condition, her character, and her people. Y'ou, General Scott, are neither the Duke of Grafton nor Sir William Draper, and I, most for? tunately for yourself, nm not Junlus ! Yet, if sir j Phillp Francis, thc reputed Junlus, were on earth, and had thc misfortune to be a sufferer In this ailllcted country, he could not but be struck with the extraordinary delusion, or "intention," which seems to follow your Excellence '3 ill-or? ganized mind, through all the mazes of political trickery, and of "metaphorical confusion." When an unsound or Insane imagination permitted you to believe that, In your misguided administration, you actually had a " right " so to abuse the "pardoning power," as to bewilder those over whom you rule, and to render it doubtful wheth? er wickedness or Ignorance prevailed, the masses, whom it was your duly to protect, stood confound? ed and amazed-hoping against "hope"-for some gleam of light, If not from the throne itself, from some secret influence "greater tTuin the throne 1" They remained in silence I because there are sometimes feelings In every human heart so revolting to virtue, that the oppressed hesitate to speak, and plead to themselves "the poverty of the language" as an excuse for keeping their own dismal counsel I What ls palpable and un? deniable rtoic, will be fabulous to posterity ! Tor the fame of your Excellency ts on the 6trcam of "Time," and will at least reach another genera? tion I Has your Excellency ever found leisure to read the conetltutioa ? When daring those four years (to which you so eloquently alluded in your Wash inton speech) you labored so valiantly on the picket linc, did yon ever remember that there teas such a document? Or were your studies confined to Gulliver and Munchausen ? And when you undertook to exhibit yourself at the seat of gov? ernment, as a "live specimen" of an "accomplish? ed executioner," did it ever occur to your Excel? lency's "brave thought," that a speech, so full of "history," might find its way to these uncivilized regions; and that even, under the tyranny you would inanguratc. men miglu venture to ask "If there be no difference between thc wildness of a ferocious fiction" an? the sadness of a bitter reality ? Some weeks since, a writer In thc Courier, signed "South Caroliua," presented a few strik? ing reflections as to the comparative doctrines of "Hight" and "Power." TKese were suggested by an obsolete "Paper," known as the Constitution of the Cnited States, In which the attributes of the highwayman, and the usurpations of your Excellency, were placed In very apposite relations to each other; but at that period your Excellen? cy's mania had not reached the fullness of its "fury." lu your researches as a ?-Jurist," yon had not -discovered the Winchester rifle as the "best t<nc" Tor a weak, unarmed and prostrate people, and you had not yet concocted thal fair, and generous, and manly programme of "one hundred rounds of ammunition," as a specific remedy for all the disorders incident to a popular election ! 1 asked before If you had ever read the consti? tution* I ask now if, dutiDg those nights of watchfulness, when you did or did not serve on Me picket line, lt ever occurred to you, a? a sol? dier, to contemplate the consequences of a course so barbarous and vicious ? Have you ever seri? ously thought of the consequences of inciting to antagonism the peaceful majority race, and arm? ing them with this formidable weapon, so that a minority, bora free, might pay the penalty, in sackcloth and ashes, for uttering a word deemed to be offensive during the riotous debaucheries of a licentious mob. and thai mob, resolving itself Into an "august" majority of privileged voters ? Have "J/O'?," who have sworn to maintain, pro? tect and defend the constitution of tkis State, and of thc United States; sworn to sec that the laws arc faithfully executed; sworn to keep the pence yourself aud to co upc! others to do so like? wise; sworn to see that thc "commonwealth" comes to no harm, ever thought of thc inevitable results of your diabolical appeal in defence of those who were never In danger/ "Think of these things," General Scott, and then repeat, with sanctimonious gravity, if you have the hardihood to do so, words made "obscene" by your exception of them, "Our beloved State !" God of our Fathers : of Rutledge. Marilin, and of Moul? trie, of Lowndes, of Chcves and Calhoun. South Carollua "the beloved State," of a renegade and a Uadical ! One moment more, and I have done. Above a!!, and before all-If the down-trodden, conquered, insulted community, of which / am one, as you have publicly, ignobly and uncharita? bly denounced them, is made up of unprincipled murderers and professional assassins, have you ever thought of explaining how it ls that their most bttt?r enemy, their most unsparing calum? niator, their heartless and perfidious magistrate, should so miraculously escape ? How the mau who deserves their vengeance more than any other who desecrates the soil, should go at large, "unwhipped of justice i" That he should do so in per.'cct safety-with no arra lirted to strike a tyrant to the earth-and without a hair of his uuholy head being injured cr disturbed ? And have you ever counted the "cost" that yourself as that very man would surely pay, if thc slan? ders uttered in your Washlugton speech were any other than "false," from Alpha to Omega * I trust that weare in the last "act of the trage? dy," of which the "c?rtala rose" with the com? mencement of your government ! But if there be any new enormities yet to come, at leas; change the "Dramatis Persona*." Yan never were in? tended to play "Ca'sar;" even the par: nf a "Winchester Casar" would bc too much for you; and there is no community in America where a l'paM Iriard" Brutus could bc found for such a perso; as yourself! The blows yon have aimed at m/ disfranchised and friendless fellow-suffer? ers: at my impoverished and mournful "home;" at my afflicted country, struggling la the midst of desolation and of sorrow, is an indignity of? fered to myself; and although I am in thc ninth decade of human tx is; cn ce. I am neither old enough nor strong enough to suppress the resent? ment which your conduct excites in my mind. SENEX. SHREDS OE STATE SEWS. There is "nice weather" in Fairfield. The measles prevail. The Greenville Enterprise is Informed that the contract for the construction of the entire Hue or thc Air Line road has been entered Into, and the work will be begun so soon as the counties, towns and people, along the line of the road from Charlotte to the Georgia line, make a ca6h sub? scription to the capital stock of the company to lhc amount or $:oo,000, to be paid in quarterly instalments during ibe next two years.

THE TRIBUNE FREE-LOVE MORDER CASE CONTINUED. Spicy Letters from Tribune Corrcspond tinti--GrceIty Going to Saratoga to Trip thc Light Fantastic-The Women who Lured Mrs. McFarland to Rain Choice Bits from Lucia G. Calhoun's Correspondence-Husks arc Such Dry Fare-People with Cores and Fruit Within-Mrs. Calhoun's Dreams and Realities-McFarland Driven to In? sanity. Public interest in the McFarlaud trial, in New York, is heightening. It is noticeable that the number of ladies in tile audience has increas? ed daily. The sensation of Tuesday's proceedings was the reading of the letters. They numbered four in all, three by Mrs. Calhoun and one by Mrs. Sinclair. Two were read during the carly hour of tbe day's proceedings, bat the followlug alluding to John Russell Young, created more than ordinary stir: INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE. My Darling-I suppose you must be snow bouud as I am, and 1 send a good morning. Lillie and Julius pronounce your Lucy Capulet better than Madame S.' . 0, Juliet l There ls incense for genius. 1 shall wurk all day and be ready to help you to-morrow. Sacrifice yourself by going to Heunesey's. or in any other way. My rare j cries out and luforins me that I wish to know bim; really to get ut him. I am quite sure there is something behind his gray eyes and mobile face. I don't like knowing people indifferently. Husks arc such dry fare. But people with cores and fruit wittilu draw mc. So there are just three persons who are much to me In thc flesh- I J. R. Y., and you eau guess the other two. But my dream friends are numerous. Booth is one or them; spiritually he ts very Intimate. He would be amazed to sec with what I have en? dowed him, and how conddentiul he is with me. Did you have such whims? My novel will be a study of psychology; I fancy ajstrange story. The boy waits. 1 begin to say I loved dearly, al? ways shall, always must; that yon are heroic" and high, and a gospel to me, who need one. Some day, or rather some night, I shall tell you such a story of my turbulent existence. I would rather write it, bat I shall never have time. Suppose I write my novel In letters to yon? How much we have to say to eachotherf That we never shall utter till the leisure or the New Jerusalem offers opportunity. Ever, my darling, yours, Lo. In reading this letter, in which the initials "J*. R. T." occurred, Mr. Gerry was interrupted by Judge Davis, Tho said : '-What you oall J. H. (5. ls yon, Mr. Graham."' "No. lt Isn't, lt ls J. R. Y.-John Russell Young. That's what it means.*' Mr. Gerry. The letters have been examined with a microscope, and we are unquestionably right. H the prosecution have any doubt, we will fetch a glass and let them examine for them? selves. Mr. Gerry then read a part or the third letter or Mr*. Calhoun, but the reading was postponed until morning, to which time the court stood ad- I joorned. Thc rollowlng are the other letters: FROM URS. CALHOUN TO MRS. M'FARLAND. 7" CLINTON TLACE, NEW YORK, l SONDAT EVE, june 24,1806. j My Dear Mrs. McFarland-It was a good inspi? ration which led you to write me, and to believe that 1 wanted to hear from you. A dozen times Blncc you went away I have set down wita the ex? press and absolute purpose ol writing you and then some dreary manuscript interposed, and my I Interestlug pen labored till lt was so tired that lc had no power of purpose 1?re. My work ls or that discouraging order that consumes time and patience, and exhausts the forces without build? ing any monuments of progress. Revising, cor? recting and mending, comparing and rejecting, ure eminently useiul and greatly easier than writing, of which I am not fond, but rather dreary. 1 have been so very busy that I have not written very much since you went- away. Beside my work tor the Tribune 1 do a eenuin class of book reviews for the Independent, and go about willi luiuds, so very full that 1 have sel? dom opportunity to take up private letters; for, us I dare say you know already, but as lt is the centrairactorthcunlvcrse.it will bear repeti? tion; 1 am housekeeping. I obtained that bliss? ful condition, to my extreme surprise, on the 1st of May. We heard or the honse but two days be? fore, took it and bought one tea-kettle at once Tor myself. 1 am most pleased. I enjoy Hie free? dom and largeness, aud hospitality of home, and, as we tn mt live lu shells through all this mortal pilgrimage, it was so much more comfort? able to have them of the largest and pleasantest. I Our house ls very pleasant, as you shall see wheu you come back. But for this ignorant present, I would wish myself with you In the smallest farm house that ever took root la the I cleft of the hills. For know, 0, mountain nymph, that thc weather is terrine; doors and windows swing wide; thc generous palm leaf Is plied, but we cannot raise the ghostliest breeze from Hunh? orn peak, or western lake, or eastern ocean. June in thc country, with a wreath or roses, and wblte hands s uttering dews, and June in town lu thc brassy helmet or August, with sunbrowncU lingers and blinded eyes, are no kin to tither. Last week tho Tribune sent me on a flying vlatlt to Saratoga, Lake George and Lake Champlain, the fruits whereof you shall have when they become Immortal in Tuesday's Issue. Saratoga ls dread? ful, but the ladles and thc far-away bills ailed one with delight. You know I am a cockney of I cockneys; know nothing of the heart and wonder or country lire; have a scattered peak or two, sud yet to ine'they arc wonderful things, not to talk about unless "thc dweller be very line. Constant companionship with native belittles him. I think men grow blind and deaf to the glory that ls above their heads and beneath their feet; don't they? I walk In the dark, but lt seems to mc that meadow and mountain, roses and river, are more to mc than to Hie man whose estutc they are a part. And as art and culture must teach me the wonderful secrets and charms or nature, so I taney must city lire train me Into country uses. I have no taste for wigwams, but all through the soft spring aud passionate summer un eagerness for woods and waters possesses me. Just now I am Imprisoned In the loop of the edi? torial scissors, and om so base that I shall doubtless continue to bc a bnndmau all the season, save when the Tribune lets mc out to do it io Journalistic warb? ling; keeping a string about me that I may not fly "too far. If lt should believe lt a vital element of the success or the paper to have two or three letters from the White Mountains, I am the per? son to sacrifice my ease in its interest, and I shall find some practicable route through Shcl burn that I mar take a peep at you. Everybody ls out or town. Mrs. Ward has gone, and the Sinclairs went last week, and everybody else whom I know had gone before.except Mr. Rlchanl son, who lias a room here, and so delightfully agreeably aud gosd natured that not even tills dreaded weather makes him cross, which ls say luz a great ?leal for his Christian discipline. Mr. Greeley hus almost finished his book, and then he ls going away, probably to Saratoga to trip the light fantastic toe. Mrs. Greeley has had a hemor? rhage and is very feeble. For myself I sm very well; rather I Ired, having made my Jaunt in three days and written three letters. 1 hope von will st?idv toward the stage. If not for the stage, thia summer. That goal seems to mc so In? evitable and so desirable. If you cultivate your verv great gift at al!, that whenever I thluk of von 1 wMi von were in your rightful place. Thc drama is Hie beautiful art, and you are worthy to be Its prophet. Mv own dreams or serving lt will never be hopes now. but whenever 1 see brave young leet set toward.it, I say God speed, from my inmost soul. 1 am very weary to-niejit, and so worn and uncomfortable, that I have written a most stupid letter. Bull would not longer let your dear note go unanswered, i love von. and I want to know you bertcr. I have no iloubt lhat wc met In this great highroad because each had something for Hie other, and we will know what it ls. Write me ut the offlee or here, and be assured of answers as speedily as my tired pen can write. Ever and always believe me affectionately yours, L. G. CALHOUN. FROM JIKS. SINCLAIR TO MRS. M'FARLAND. WASHINGTON. February 21. My Dearest Friend-Sirs. C. read your letter to me this morning, and lam almost heart-broken for vnu. My dear, what are you going to do? Whatever von decide upou, of course, your friends, vour true mends will accept, but I do hope you will act- with firmness, willi decision. lt seems to me that one great effort ls only a question of time, and the sooner it ls made the better lor you and thc children. Don't Tor one moment louger entertain that morbid Idea that von are responsible ror Hie life or one who ls sure to break you down completely and ruin, perhaps, your club ren, if they continu?lo live with him. lt arl!) kill you to live this way, and you must not do lt. These d?ar little bovs must bc taken care of, and who can do it but their own dear mother. Mv dear Abby. 1 love you like a sister, or I should not write tills. Anything that I can do for you I will cheerfully di. Do no: despair; you have health, youth and good friends, and all your friends, without exception, will sup port you. I have no doubt of your sue cess on the stage, but. should you Hud t.Mit too trying for your health, you can do equally well by writing. I think you are very modejt in vuur estimation. 1 think you write better than almost any one I know, and should you give your time to it I have no doubt, you will exceed any American female writer in a very short time. I mast suggest ono thing, and that is to get rercy away rrom bis rather as soon as possible. H seems a long time since I left you, and I am quite ashamed of not writing to you be? fore; but our time has been wonderfully filled un with Washington gaiety, and I ara very apt, as you know, to neglect writing to my friends when 1 feel certain that all ls well. I have not been Jealous, although you have written to Mrs. C. sev? eral times. I love her too much not to be willing to give her more than half of what 1 would re? ceive. Is she not good and charming? Howls dear little Danny? I wish he would come to Mary's birthday, the 9th of March. You must come and bring Percy. We may not be home be? fore the sth, but I don't dare write that home. Remember that Pearls not your friend. I hope you will neglect her In my absence. Now, my darling, do write soon. I aimil hope for some? thing definite. Y'our devoted friend, C. A. S. I.ETTEU FTtOM MRS. CA I. FIO CK. FRIDAY MORNING. Februarv 22. What can I say to comiort thee? My' heart bleeds over thee. Would I could enfold thee for? evermore, my darling. If lt were not for Percy I should take you away and keep you as soon as I go home. I do not suppose Mr. C. would let inc keep him. My precious, you must make your decision, lt ls profanation for you to stay with that man. You shall not. No woman ought to put her womanhood to open shame as you have been forced to do for years. It is most cruel, most devilish. You cannot work-you cannot advance-you eau be certain of no future for yourself and children while you stay. There ls no justice, no reason, no hope In your doing lt. Mydarltug, you will leave him scathless. The world is more generous than we think about these things. Every thoughtful man or woman will Justify you, and you can shake ott your shackles and work with free hands. It ls dread? ful to have you light against such odds. I think you could live, youraeir and Percy, for what you earn nor/, ir you can only be free, so that you can Improve, your salary will lucrease. It ls wonderful that you have been able to do anything, with your disabilities, and I do uot think that now you may do so much. Oh. do leave him, my darling. It ls BO wrong that you should stay with him. FRIDAT EVENING. MU Darling-vre have just received Mr. RVs letter. I am so glad that you have left M. Do uot, 1 beseech you, return. Do not let any meek? ness or mercy possess you. lt ls happy that stroke bas lallen, no matter what heart break comes with lt. Yon should be glad that vou suiTcr, il your sufferings would keep you away rrom him. My darline ror whom I would die, do [ not so wrong your womanhood as to go back. Von must not, shall not. When I some back you shall come to me and stay. I will have lt so. I will come to-morrow ir you need me. Write me, my darling, all things; even ir yon are distracted write; it will calm and help you. AH my heart flows tn yo*. I would help you, guard you, heal you II I could. My darling,you cannot be mlsuu utood. I, a proud woman, tell you that only by leaving him can you Justify yourseir to yourself and the world or noble people. My darling, my money and purse and grier are yours forever. Vou will not hesitate to come to me, ror you love me. This ls a poor uotc. I have had to scrawl in pencil what I have not had time to say In Ink. To-morrow, ll you're better, I shall write you a better letter. All my ncart ls yours. Let Mr. R. help yon-he ls good and strong. Stay where J you are till I come; then come to me. My darl? ing, I love you and sorrow ror you. Thine ever. Lo. The reading or the letters was listened to with breathless attention. * Eighth Day-Continuation of thc Testi? mony for th? Defence. The court-room was crowded on Wednesday, including even more ladles than on the previous day. Several letters written by Mrs. Calhoun to Mrs. Richardson McFarland were read. They were similar la character to those already read. .The recorder Intimated that the counsel would do well to refrain from reading letters merely relating to Mrs. Calhoun's personal reelings, and not directly bearing on thc case. Judge Davis said he supposed thc prosecution could not object to the reading of the letters which the prisoner had pluudered from thc trunk of his wife, and which the defence seemed to think supported some theory or theirs. Charles W. Eastwood, the first witness to-day, was a woollen dealer; knew McFarland; did net recan? him lu bis right mlud; prisoner bad orten told witness that he had not had a good night's sleep In six weeks, aud wished he was dead. Sanford B. Wakeman was thc next witness; knew prisoner; regarded him frantic on family mattera, George Wellings, a walter at a restaurant, also test Med thai be k: ew McFarland; thought him frenzied; used often to hear him muttering to himself. The Recorder asked Mr. Graham to Indicate how long he Intended to take accumulating evi? dence as to McFarland's peculiarities. Mr. Graham said they Intended to prove by overwhelming evidence that the defendant was deranged on the subject of his domestic troubles, lu sueh a case as the present lt was Impossible for them to know wheu they had given enough or evidence. Michael Callahan, employed in the same res? taurant as the previous witness, gave corrobora? tive testimony. A statement made by the brother of the pris? oner to witness lu regard to the strange conduct of McFarland was, arter argument, ruled out as incompetent testimony. Several other witnesses were examined, and all testlflcd that they regarded McFarland as one J whose mind had lost Its balance. Previous to thc court adjourning. Judge Davis stated that the couusel for the prisoner had, he presumed unintentionally, done an Injustice to a party who was entirely outside or the case. Yes? terday, when Mr. Gerry was reading one or Mrs. Calhoun's letters, he made what was Intended to represent the word "you" used J. R. Y. The ex? pression in which the letters occur read-t, "Three persons are much to me In the flesh," J. R. Y., and you can guess thc other two. Mr. Graham said they were confident the let- I ters were lutended for Initials, a dash being arter each letter, which would not be the case ir they were susceptible or the reading suggested by Judge Davis. The counsel for the prisoner had some doubt about haviug thc letter read lu the court in the presence or ladles, it being set In ob? scenity; but their determination to do justice to their client caused them to forego any considera? tion or delicacy lu relation to thc matter. Mr. Gerry said before taking a copy of thc letter he had exainln"d the letters with three micro? scopes, and had no doubt they were as he read them. The recorder said the matter was one to be sub? jected to thc test of common sense, and not of microscopes. For bis own part he agreed wltn Judge Davis, but would leave the matter for thc decision or the jury. The court then adjourned. en AXT AS A DEADHEAD. The Latest Instance of Presidential Spong! nt;- v Reminiscence. President Grant, it seems, not content with his salary or $25,000 a year, tree house-rent, gar? den stuff, and perquisites Innumerable, to say nothing or the liberal "presents" he has received rrom office-seekers, claims the privilege of free transportation over the railroad's of the country, whether their officers concede lt or not. At least we lind iu the Poughkeepsie News thc following account ut what occurred on thc Hudson River Railroad on Thursday of las: week, when the Presldeut and bia party were on their way to at? tend the rnneral ol Genera! Thomas at Troy : President Gran: and Secretaries Robeson, Bel knap and Cox, and Postmaster-General Creswell, took the midnight train rrom New York. Shun ly alter leaving the city they were called upon, in common with other passengers, for their tickets. They stated they had uone. They were then asked to pay their rare. This they peremptorily refused to do, giving the conductor, Harry Stevens, to understand that their exalted positions should Insure them free conveyance. The conductor told them that his Instructions were to pass no "deadheads" over the road, and thar. If they did not comply with the rules he should be obliged to stop the train and put them off. Thus things re? mained until the urrival ol the train at Pough? keepsie, when the conductor threatened to dis? connect the ear which contained thedistingulshed party. But before proceeding any further. Super? intendent Toucey was acquainted with the case, aud that gentleman took the responsibility to "trust" them for their rare as rar as Albany. Api-oyiOf or General Grant's penchant for dead? heading, a correspondent of the New York Sun relates the following Incident : Just before the inauguration of Mr. Grant, hav? ing occasion to pass over the New Jersey Rail? road, 1 was wituess to a scene which, for sub? lime cheek, rather exceeded anything I had pre? viously known. Conductor P-, In passing through the eaiv, came to thc President elect aud demanded his ticket, navlng neither ticket or pass, and reluslng to pay his fare, P-threat? ened to eject him from the tralu. Mr. Grant, however, maintained that he was eutltled to free passage over any road In the United States: that thc conductor had no right to demand fare of him, and stated lt should be the last and only tim?-, as he would report the case and have P discharged. Whether P-gained his point or not I am unable to say. as 1 had to leave the cars at that interesting juncture. Mr. Grant, however, was as good as his word, did report P-, but so far from having him discharged. P- still con? tinues ene of the most gentlemanly officials or the New Jersey Road, uo doubt much to the disgust of Mr. Grant, who was his houored passenger last Thursday night. GLIMPSES IN GEORGIA. A Thriving Locality-Crops and Ferti? lizers-Cotton Prospects-The All-Cot? ton and No-Corn Mania-Scarcity of Labor-Contentment of thc Plantation Hands-Pleasant Prospects. A travelling correspondent of the New York Times ls giving some very pleasant sketches of the condition of various localities in the Interior of Georgia. Writing from Amenais, under date of March 28, he says: The town from which this letter ls dated is the cen tre or the richest port len or the best cetton region lu the State or Georgia. It contains Iront Ave to six thousand Inhabitants, is beautirully situated, contains many handsome residences, several flue churches, a well-built and commodi? ous courthouse, and a number of excellent stores, warehouses, Ac, with a brisk, sound and steady trade. In enterprise, business activity, and sub? stantial comfort, it excels many larger and more pretentious cities, and if it continues to improve as lt has Improved during the past year, lt will very Boon become one of the most important ?laces in Southwestern Georgia. Leaving ?aeon at 8 A. M., the traveller reaches Ame.?am at uoon, and Ands himself in the midst of rich lands, where twenty bushels of I corn and a bale of cotton to the acre are rhe ordi? nary production. He sees in every direction, after ne enters Sumter County, large fields of level land of black, loamy soil, to a great exrent free from unsightly stumps, well enclosed and carefully cultivated, in which the corn has been for Hie most part already planted, and in some ravored spots Just showing Itself above the sur? face, and in wnich the preparations have been made, or nearly so, to plant the cotton seed. All the appliances on the plantations exhibit thc pres? ence of ease and comfort, and, better still, or Im? provement. The mules look rat and well-cared for, tue wasons substantial and In- good order, the fences well built and in good repair, the dwel? lings and outhouses commodious and tidy, the uegro laborers cheerful, well-behaved, Industrious, well-fed, well-clad and well-lodged, and every? thing Indicating prosperity, thrift, Intelligence, good order and solid wealth. THU erm NO WORK. Although upward of two thousand tons or com? mercial fertilizers bave been distributed from the Americas depot during the present season, the storehouse and platform are still filled wi tb sacks and barrels or these Cumponnds, whose presence can be easily conressed long before they are seen. Notwithstanding the natural fertility of the land, these powerful stimulants to increased produc? tion have keen employed this year to a greater ex? tent than in any previous year, and though, owing to the heavy rains and remarkable cold? ness of the weather the spring work ls unusually bac tward, I found, as I have already stated, most of the corn planted, and everything ready to commence planting cotton when the weather will permit. EXTENT OF COTTON PLANTING. I wish I conld report that thc area of the pro? vision crops bad been largely Increased, and that to be devoted to cotton proportionally diminished; but 1 believe that the relative proportion of i860 will not be materially changed, and that '-going in for a big crop of cotton" ls still the prevalent practice. Indeed, from all I can see and learn, this Is not only true-of this section, but will be found to be so throughout the agricultural por? tions of ike State. Last year the planters In this section acted more wisely than those of other places. They planted to produce "enough tejJo them," and generally succeeded; but few raised any surplus, while many have been obliged to buy to feed their hands and stock until another crop ls gathered. I do not Bee that thc lesson of '69 ?as produced any salutary effect. In other portions of the State, where the "all-cutton aad no-corn ma? nia" was more prevalent than lt was in this neighborhood, lt still rages, and While every in? dividual farmer declares most eloquently that it is supreme felly not to plant "a plenty of corn first and then plant as much cotton as you can tend," I find that these very men who preach such sound doctrine arc going to repeat their folly of last year, expeatlag, doubtless, that every one will follow their good advice, while they plant "ail cotton," and that thus they will have a big crop, and "get a big price." Cotton planting tills year will be fully three weeks behind I he ordi? nary time. Thc weather has been unprecedented- . ly inclement. On Friday and Saturday of the last week there were heavy continuous rains, and though yesterday and to-day have been dry, the temperature has been cold, and the indications are that the "wet spell" ls not yet past. Ordi? narily lu this region, every one ls now planting cotton. Now it would be worse than Idle to plant for the next fortnight. SCARCITY OF LABOR. There ls a very general scarcity of labor in this part of the State. Seme few large planters have a force equal to that they had last year. These are men who continue to employ their former slaves, whoso home attachment haa Induced to stay where they "was born and raised," and whom good treatment and liberal compensation and sirict Justice have convinced that they can? not "better themselves." There are many, how? ever, who have a much smaller force than tn '60, and they have not been able by any effort to In? crease lt. There are several, too, who have almost no laborers at all, and who are compelled to aban? don the idea of making a crop. The railroads under construction, the promise of higher wages in Louisiana and Mississippi, and the allure? ments of town life, are the principal causes of this diminution of the available laboring force. CONTENT OF TUE HANDS. Those who have remained and are at work seem as happy, contented and thriving a set of people as I ever saw anywhere. They work well, and in many places have Induced their wives and daugh? ters to aid them, In order that their share of christmas moy be larger. This industry among the "colored ladies" ls confined to this region. Elsewhere the doler far Menlo ls the prevalent taste ?f the .negro women. The prospect gene? rally about here ls very cheering. The relations between the two races are ordered by kindness, Justice and good-will. Plenty and contentment ure found everywhere. Intelligent improvement ls making beneficent marks all around. Cultiva? tion, refinement and the luxuries of life follow progress as effect follows cause, and ir I were asked to exhibit to a stranger the best and most attractive views or the planting portion or Geor? gia, I should certainly conduct him to Americus, let him see the plantations In the neighborhood, introduce him to the inhabitants, and give him an opportunity to eujoy their elegant aud un? ostentatious hospitality. -Although thc population of New York City Is estimated at a million, thc rea. estate holders number only about fifteen thousand. Nine hun? dred and eighty-five peraoas out of every thou? sand, thererore, occupy hired property. - (Cigars, QTobarco, Ut. rjlHE CHARLESTON CIGAR MANUFACTORY, No. 314 KING STREET, CORNER SOCIETY, CHARLESTON, S.
