TOED ATE ABOUT ADJOURNMENT AND GEORGIA BHARP WORDS BETWEEN SUMNER AND ANTHONS -THE TENUES-OF-OFF?OE DIFFICULT! SETTLED. ALEXANDER H. STETENS ON HIS DEATHBED. CB WASHINGTON, March 81.-IN THE SENATE, daring a discussion in regard to adjournment, Bunine? said that :t "was wrong to disousa ic until tho Georgia question was settled in all its franchises. Howe retorted that Congress had already bad enough time, and that, moreover, something oleo was needed besides time and Congressional action, namoi y good pense. Anthony said that ho had come to the conclu? sion that it was best to let Georgia take oare of herself. He didn't think it was necessary to do anything for Virginia, Texas or Mississippi this session. Those States did not BC m will? ing to como in, and ho 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 ?bandon them in the same manner as ho proposed to abandon Rhode Isl? and, Massachusetts and other States. The conference report on the Tcnure-of offico bill was adopted. IN THE HOUSE, Wbittemoro introduced a joint r?solution postponing tho Texas election. Referred to the Reconstruction Committee. The Committee of Ways and Means was instructed to inquire into tho expediency of revising and enfoiomg the diroct tax in tho lately rebellious States. The conference report on the Tenure-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. Tho bill requires a petition to the United States Courts in whioh the appli? cant says that he admits and believes that the Confederate General and State Governments were rebellions and treasonable, and that he truly repents all acts done in maintenance thereof. The Mississippi bill was discussed at great length, Farnesworth, Schenck and Davis urg? ing postponement. A private dispatch from Macon, Ga., an? nounces that Alexander H. Stevens is on his deathbed. The Tenure-of-omoe bill, as passed, uses the word suspension in the sense of removal, and requires the President to nominate for vacan? cies within thirty days after the meeting of Congress. The Attorney-General deoidos that George A. Holsey, being a manufacturer or trader, is ineligible as registrar of the treasury, under the not creating the treasury department. EUROPE. GRAND aIIl.IT ARV AND NAVAL REVIEW AT DOVER, ENGLAND-A SNOW STORK INTERFERES WITH THE EXERCISES. LONDON, March 29.-A great review of volun? teers was held at Dover to-day. Over thirty thousand men were in the ranks, and an im? mense multitude of p sople witnessed the spec? tacle. The weather was squally and snow fell In the morning, in consequence of which the execution of the manoeuvres was delayed unti 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.

Smut's Unfriendly Friend? - Was??- ] foarne'8 Skilful SI anlpnlntlon or the 1 President-A Mon and Hie M sister. The Washington correspondent of the New Tork World writes : It now appears that in the original plan of the Cabinet, Fessenden was to have been Sec? retary ot State: but when that came to Wash burne's ears, he dictated the substitution of himself. Grant now assorts that the arrange? ment only covered a nomination to the Senate, and that Wasbburne waa never oven to qualify for tho office. Bat once confirmed, Washburne demanded his commission, which the abjeot President gave. Then, as premier, Washburne began to parcel out tho offices. Appreciating the pecuniary greed ef Grant, the Secretary of State rapidly found eligible placesfor the Grants and Dents, to the remotest generation, and thus narcotised his victim, while the cbiaf ap? pointments at home and abroad were distribut? ed about in the interest of the Washburne family. Thus Gibbs, Siokles, Ford, and a hun? dred others, were made secure of Grant's pro? mise. At last publio opinion began to foroe its way through tho President's cranium; he made an effort to throw off tbe shackles, but Washburne soon brought the lor mor to a realizing sense of his dependence. At last, however, publio opinion began to tell upon Washburne himself. Ho saw that the country was jeering at him as the head of the Department of State-him, an ignoramus in international law, and incapable to define the mere geography of Europe. Tbe jeering hastened his determination to leave tho department earlier than he had at first intend? ed, and set off at once for Paris, provided he could at first bally Grant into the needed com? mittals for controlling the distribution of office?. The Stewart fiasco, the message thereon that waa rejected by the Senate, the contempt of his friends, and the derision of his enemies, had brought President Grant to his marrow? bones. Au arrogant, and some say insolent recitai by Washburne, of the labors and trials, "individually" of him who had inspired and upheld Grant's career from the tannery to the White House, and by influence over the admin? istration of Lincoln had destroyed, or caused to be destroyed, one by ons, all tho command? ers of tbe army of the Potomac, and by hur? ry in tr on the reserves during tho terrible and needless slaughter of tho Wilderness had made possible for Grant what otherwise wonld have boan an impossibility-this recital, I sav, had the effect of a loaded revolver at the head of aa unarmed man. Grant broke down. His answer was, "Any? thing, anything yon ask, Washburn?, provided you leave the country at once." Thence carno a lot of promises extorted with a purpose, on Washbarne's part, to make him? self a sort of American vioegeient in Europe, and his friends supreme at home in the Treas? ury Department. From this came Grant's backing away from A. T. Stewart. The President now sees how like a Whipped ?paniol ho has ben ired, and aeeke to lay down the eros?, but Washburno is relentless. And here oomes in one explanation of Grant's play? 's lng fast and loose with the Tenuro-of-oifice ' law. ' His real motive is to have an excuse for ' fl not ssndiag just now to the Senate the ap? pointments promised te Washburne. If som? Gabi iet officer would stand between Grant and Washburne, it would be all serene, but no one volunteers. SOUTH CAHOLIlfA. Interesting l<etter from Senator Rob? ertson-The Soil, Climat* and Natural Production* ot the Palmetto State Political and Social Statue of the Peo? ple. The following letter was recently forwarded by U. S. Senator Robortson,to a lady residing in Whiteside County, Illinois,who addressed him, asking his advice in regard to the desirability of emigrating to the St ato of South Carolina: UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER, 1 WASHINGTON, March 20,1860. j Madam-In reply to your letter, inquiring as to tbe inducements to emigration o South Carolina, I beg leave to say : As to geographical division, the State may be considered in a three-fold aspeot First. Tho mountain or Piedmont region, embracing tho counties of Anderson, Coonee, Creen vii le, Spartanburg and Pickeus. Tbis part of tbo 8tato being in altitude a thousand feet and upward above ,tlio sea, is more north? ern than southern in its climate and produc? tions, lt has a fine bracing climate without the long winters and deep snows of tho North? ern Skates. This region is adapted to tho grapes, grains, corn, Ac, but is not so favor? able for cotton as other portions of the State. The lands aro cheap in this section. The waiter power is very great. Second. The middle country, being the re? gion lying between the low nat Linds of tbo sea coast and tbe above described counties bordering on tho mountains, embracing, among others, tho counties of Fairfield, Ker? shaw, Sum:er, Darlington, Oiangeb rg. Edge field, Abbeville, Newberry, and portions of ad? joining counties. This is the port of the State with which 1 am best acquainted, and, there? fore, of whioh I will principally speak. Tbir I. The sea coast and low country, the choicest part of the sea coast, consist of the islands that produce the Bea island cotton. This beautiful production of fine grade now commands one dollar and fifty cents a pound. Tbe climate on these islands is made delight? ful and bea thful by tbe sea breezes, so that in summer residences near the beach are per? fectly salubrious. The lands here are fine and capable of constant improvemen t from tbe quintity of marsh mud lying within convenient reaoh of tbs farmers. Tho roads are escollen1. Every luxury of the land and the sea ls to be . found there-the choicest wild ducks, quanti? ties of thc flnoBt game, birds and deer, with an endless supply ot tish, crabs and oysters. These islands are the garden spots of the United States, and physical existence is abso? lutely delightful there. They realize in per? fection the ideas of olimate we have of Tahiti and other islands of the Sandwich group in the Pac flo. These islands in time will become what tbe islands along the Mediterranean coast were to the luxurious Romans. Lands with fine old family mansions can be bought cheap on these islands, and the enormous price the cotton pro? duced here brings, insures the accumulation of great fortunes to the cultivators. To make money, to enjoy Ure. these islands present ad? vantages that exist hardly anywhere else. I return now to the middle country embraced in the second division above mentioned. This part ot the State bas an altitude of about five hundred feet. This givea> it a delightful cli? mate. lt is bracing in winter and pleasant and healthful in su aimer. It abounds in running water and cold springs. The land in its natu? ral condition is covered with magnificent for- , est of pine, oak, hickory and dogwood. In the spring the woods are gay with brilliant wild flowers. Tins is a superior cotton region, and the cotton crop is almost a oertaiuty; lt is free from the invaders and uncertainties whioh at? tack it m the Southwest. By proper cultiva? tion a farmer may count almost certainly on making five bales of cotton to the hand or la? borer. This, at the present price, is five hun? dred dollars to tho baud in tho single item of cotton. * Besides, this is a fine region for corn, wheat, oats, &c. I have known, cu trial lots, as much as two and a half bales ci cotton, over one hun? dred bushels of oom, and over fifty bushels of wheat raised to the aore. Along with the coin, quantities of pumpkins and oow peas oan bo raised without any addi? tional labor of cultivation, except the slignt trouble of planting the seed. This region is remarkable for fruit. Peaches, pears, figs, plums, apricots, nectarines, grapes, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries flourish remarkably well. The grape is peculiarly at home here. The famous grape of North Carolina, the scupper nong, grows as in its native locality. Every farmer, if he chose, could have a vineyard and make wine. Horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep and goats do well here. Bi raising stock it is difficult to make those understand who have not made the experiment how muob easier it is : o carry stock through the short, mild winters of the South than the long wintexs of the North. The sun? shine of the South is worth, in supporting animal life, untold millions ef dollars. The early spring, the summer, the late fall, furnish so great a supply of green food that it is a small matter to oarry the stock through the short winter. In the winter the evergreen canes keep the stock in a thriving condition. A farmer, unless he tries it, bas not the faintest idea how muob less work it takes to live in a mild climate like South Carolina than in the colder North. If the small farmers North fully realized this difference they would fly from their austere homes Southward. Labor here is abundant and cheap. The farmers are making money, and will soon be richer than they ever were before. Any sagacious farmer who will settle at the South and leam how tc raise cotton, can, on ? capital of a few thousand dollars, make a hand? some fortune. To Illustrate, a farmer, with a capital of five thousand dollars, settles in - the Sooth. Ou this oapttal he can rent lands and work twenty hands. Each of these hands ought, at the present price of cotton, to bring him in Ave hundred dollars, half of wbioh should be olear money, and with an income of five thousand dollars a year olear, he can s ?on bave a fine estate around bim. It must be noted that a good farmer ought, in addition to his cotton orop, lo make provisions suffi aient to support his farm for another year, thereby diminishing tho expenses of the next rear's farming. Never, m my opinion, was there suoh an op? portunity for fumers of small capital to make cortones as is at the South now. Lands are very cheap, ranging from two dol? iera to fifteen dollars an aore, with farm bouses and farm buildings. They have been Miling for a much less price. They are now; bowever, rising in value, and will continue to rise from year to year. To instance the im? mense profite of cotton planting at the present time, I wi I state that, in some of the counties ot tho middle country, the farmers have more money now than they ever bad before. Churches abound, and good schools are in almost all. villages and towns, and in many neighborhoods. As to the people of South Carolina, I believe by nature tbero are no kinder, more honest, bospi table and better generally than the mass of our citizens. In some parts of the country there has been considerable demoralization almost as a natural result of the war. But the ereneral eonditiou of society, and especially of late, is rapidly improving, and I believe that I speak for all classes of* oar people in saying that we are anxious to see harmony, poaco and Erospority restored, and are not only willing nt desirous, as a meane to secar J this result, to have strangers c ?ruo and settle among us, bringing their capital- to build up the material prosperity of our State; and though not representing myself an undi? vided political sentiment in the State, I think [ can safely assure those who desire, like yourself, to come among us. a favorable if nota cordial wt loom o from all classes of our citizens. I would be glad to see thousands of our Northern friends settling in South Caf oh? sa. There is plenty of land and plenty of re? sources there for ten times the present popu? lation, lt wonld be a suicidal policy on our part to re ruse a welcome to all Who wish to share them with us, developing by their pres? ence the wealth and industries ot the State. We invite yon and your husband and all others of a similar disposition. Tbe beautiful South invites the people of the North to her pleasant seats. Why should you exclude yourselves from her delicious climate, her fertile soil, her beautiful skies ? ' I sm, madame, very respectfully, T. J.

From the Manchester, England,Guardian, March IS,] A series bf con miar reports issued on Friday sontoined some facts furnished by Mr. Consul Walker on trhe trade and commerce of North md South Carolina for the year 1868, showing the present condition of the cotton industry in thu part of the American Union. As regards the port of Charleston, the trade consists of the transactions rendered necessary in the shipment to other ports of the products of the interior, which find their way to Charleston f r that purpose, and to the receipt of such sup? plies as are required by the producers ia re? turn. It is remarkable that (he cotton export 3d lost yeu* was lees in quantity and value than n the two preceding years. In 1866 the raine waa ?5.843,046; in 1867, ?1,286,840; ind last year, ?4 lo?.OOO. It seems that while South Carolina has largely increased its pro iuction, that of North Carolina bas diminish? ed. In the former case the quantity rose from i> little over 61,000,000 lbs. or 118.686 boles, of 150 lbs. each, in 1866, to 1064 millions Ihn, or ?JV.U?'J bales last year ; while in North Caro? lina it declined from 29,000.000 lbs. in the first period to less than 19,000,000 lost year;, but ihis was slightly m advance of the quantity, though not io value, over the preceding year. Lt is impossible, however, that these figures may not represent the actual produce of the States ; for New Tork has become a cotton mart, and hos constant facilities for shipping, ind an abundance of capital, of which the South is almost destitute. These circumstances, h combination with the competition in whioh he varions rival transport companies indulge, nr. Walker admits, have superseded, to a very treat extent, the resort to charleston, ss a sotton mart; sud instead *f the prod not being tent there fot sale, it is so dealt with in. the nterior, end then transported by some railway company, or specified firms, to be delivered at New Yotk, Liverpool, or elsewhere. By this node of forwarding the produot, at least three ifths sf the quantity brought to Charleston irooeeds, partly coastwise, to Northern aorta, md partly by steam to Liverpool; and from hat proportion the merchant at Charleston lerives no profit. The crops of the spring lesson of 1878. beinv the crops of the current rear,, to end 81st August, 1869, are now reaching market, and the following conclusions are frown as to their extent: As to cotton, there lave been received at Charleston as appears jy the commeroial statement published on ho llth December, 69.006 bales of upland, igainst 86,777 bales at the same time last year; 1605 bales of sea islands, against 1088 bales; ind 10.646 tierces of noe, against 8684 tierces. The conclusion is that the area planted in up aud cotton iu tho States of North and South Jarolina hus been diminished; and, notwith-, i la riding tho past favorable season, Consul rValkor remarks, " tho disuse of artificial mon? tres, which the planters hove been nuable to afford, will be found also to hove seriously af? fected the yield. " RAILROADS , AND EXPRESS COMPANIES_Wa love the following from o Northern corres pon lent: Homo weeks sinoo tho Erfo Railroad an nonnoed a determination to do its own express business, and notified the United States Ex? press Company to withdraw from the Ene Road tnd its branches. This movement was by some regarded so's radical chango from th? >ld system, whilst many supposed- it was mother stock jobbing op?ration of the "Erie Bing." Re that ss it may, the ox prosa compa? ny mode its arrangements to retire, ond the railroad companies prepared to corry out the project, but we have siu<*o loamed that new arrangements have been effected whereby the Elie relinquishes the 'proposed express, and liavo nenewed oontrooto with the United States company, whereby the latter will not only con? tinuo to do the express business, but hove also been authorized by tho Erle to tr ans aot ita entire through freight business. This latter feature will no doubt occasion much surprise, but When it is considered that the fest freight lines North and North wost, in the interests ol express companies, succeeded, by their syste? matic sgenoy, to secure tho larger nropotion of business, it is not to be wondered ot th ii Joy Gould, "the railroad king," hos seen flt to effect ?nob en arrangement.

Mr. Parrott liven about six miles from he courthouse on the Camden road-the ' leighborbood was thickly settled, and there ; leems to be no doubt the fire was the work if an incendiary. Mr. Parrott bad some rouble in settling with one of his bauds a few reeks since.and though the cage was decided n Mr. P.'s favor by a magistrate of the new . 'egtme. the man was not satisfied, but abused md threatened Mr. Parrott, both at tba court - 1 louse and at borne. The evidence is very 1 itrong against this man, and after a hearing < leforo Magistrate Welob, he was committed to ! ail on last Saturday." THE HAREMS OF THE EAST. rite Sultan and tuc Sultana-Court Lite at Ute Turkiala Capital. The following are extracts from a series of Constantinople letters published in the Perse- 1 'oranza of Milan : 1 The Snltan is an indolent man, of lymphatic emperament; he has not had much education, md understands no European language but drench, of which he oan speak a few * ords, lis favorite occupation is to look after his >oultry-yard, which contains the rarest speoi nensof henb,duoks,geese, swans, Ac. Be gives mormous pi icos for rare birds,and passes hours n feeding bis hens and watching his cocks fight. Vmonp; tho higher officals of his court there ure a few abl > men, but the great majority cf hem, like the general body of the omployees >f the Siato, are ignorant and inefficient. All . he places under government are given by 'aver, which id usually gained by services that tann >t be openly acknowledged. But the in iffioienoy of the administration and the nullity >f the sovereign are a small evil compared with ho influence exercised by foreign diplomacy ind foreigneis in general. * * There aro .cally at Constantinople as many governments M foroiftn representatives, eaoh of whom gives lia countrymen far more protection than they vould be entitled to at homo. The power which exercises* the greatest in luence is Russia. She is the real-promoter of he demands of the varions nationalities, and 'specially of the 100,000 Greek inhabitants of Jons i an tmo plo, who still dream of tho reatoia ion of the Byzantine empire. Even in out? ward appearance the Russian Embassy is.easi y distinguished from all others. It occupies a nagniflcent palace, which, being built on the leigh ts of Per a, commands the whole of the lapital, and looks down upon the residence of he Sultan, the Golden Horn, and the distant roofs ot Stamboul, as its wide portals only ?waited the entry of the Czar. During the vinter season the palace is opened tc all the ligher sooiety of the town, and in the bril ?antly lighted rooms balls and concerts are frequently given. At Constantinople an am msaador ia respected and feared in proportion o the magnificence of his surroundings. Though the interior of a harem ia still-not? withstanding the spread of European notions among the Turks-strictly closed to all male risitors, the society of foreign ladies is eagerly jought by the wives of all the higher function? aries. The rooms they occupy, even in the wealthiest houses, are low ana dark, and fur? bished in very bad taste, chiefly owing to the nama of rurinah women for tawdry ornaments [rom Vienna or Paris. By the sides of the inest specimens of Oriental art may frequently oe seen a vase of common Bohemian glass, ?vith dusty wax flowers, which they prize more ?ighly than many of the beautiful ornaments >f their native manufacture. The same is the MUSS with their dress * * * . which is a oar oature of the fashions of Paris. They have liscarded the velvet Jacket and trousers, for stays, shiny boots, long trains, and chig? nons. * * * It bas also become th? fashion 0 learn music, and a teacher on tho piano 'orto (of course a lady) has m ide a fortune by living lessons in the harems. Another fash on is to have your portrait taken. Their fo rorito artist is an English woman-a Miss kurtis. Some time ago this lady was commis lioned to paint a full-length portrait of ona of he Sultanas. The Sultana waa short and stout, ind Miss Curtis painted her accordingly. This, towever, gave great offence, and the Sultana DSistod on her being made a foot taller, say ng that, as she was only nineteen years old. ihs would be sure to grow to that size. Bat ns toad of growing taller, the Sultana only grew itouter; so that at the end of a twelvemonth iie portrait was almost unrecognizable. Miss Jurtia was then requested to paint the picture 1 third time, and it is now nailed up to the soiling of the harem. ear OFFICE CHARLESTON CITY RAIL?

THE TRYING S E A S O N.-THE searching winds, the cold, driazllng rains, tbe heavy fogs, snd occasional warm and moist days of M s roh, render lt, upon the whole, the most unhealthy month of the yeer. Its depressing Influences are especially unfavorable to invalids, and thousands of persons with feeble constitutions, who have borne the win ter bravely, break down in the first month of spring. Tbs variations of temperature and cold east winds are a serious trial to the dyspeptic and bilious, whose symptoms they invariably aggravate. Inter mitt?nt fever is also rife wherever there ls evolvable poison in the water or tbe soil. To enable the sys? tem to combat these evils, there is nothing like good vegetable tonto, ?nd among this class of medi? cines HO?TKIT EB'S STOMACH BITTERS stand supreme. Medical men prescribe it in preference to say of the tonie preparations of the pharmacopoeia They are ?ware that tbe ordinary tinctures and ex? tracts are all b : sed upon cheap alcohol, which is sur? charged with sn acrid est^nlial oil, and absolutely poisonous. They know, on :ho other hand, tbat the rectified essence of the finest rye grown In this country is the sole spirituous ingredient of HOS TETTER'S BITTERS, and that thc vegetable me? dicinal elements of which it is composed ?re of rare efficacy. Hence, it has the confidence ot physician and finds its way into hospitals where no other pro? prietary medicine is sanctioned. A course of the BITTERS is especially recom mended to persons of delicate habits, of both sexes at this season. In the fever and ague districts of the West and South, quinine bas been almost univor sally discarded as s ohologogue, and tbis invaluable antidote to malarious disorders adopted in it? stead A double gain is realised by the chango, for tba Bitters, unlike that dangerous alkaloid, are agreeable to tbe palate, and their curative effect ls much more permanent. _PAP 6_MaroU 27 Af DB.
