Ros?ABO, lately a Representative in Gongrees from tlio Fifth District of Kentucky, has issued an address to his constitu? ents iu relation to his recent afluir in Congress. It'is a somewhat singular production, written in a lively style: I rataucd Grin nel I. He unresist? ingly received the castigation, and re? peatedly said it was "fall right," and promptly assured inc,he did not wish ta hurt me. " " Geuoral Garfield appears to have wounded his inabilities still further. "The speech," bc says, "was vocifer? ous and fierce; and Tike an actor hired to pump up passion, he suorted himself 1 into a .rage, and raved through the ease.** "And thus we see a late soldier, a general of the army, standing on the floor of tho House of Representatives of the United States,-andattempting to iufluonce its judgment in the trial of a brothel- member, by creating a sensation, and arousing the passions of his hearers by an exaggerated de? ntad of a contemptible matter that should never have been heard in that body-?n affair which would'hardly have disturbed a tea party of old maids. : "Rut all .this, as wella? his gratu? itous .denunciation of a- former bro? ther-soldier, was of coarse prompted by his ?friendship' foi me. Bave me from all such friends and friendship! On the instant of his announcement of the .fist-fight as a 'bloody and brmtal outrage,v Air. Alley, ot Massa? chusetts, with shivering limbs and tremulous voice, a?d finely acted ar? tistic emotion, introduced a resolu? tion that the young mau, victor in tho fisticuff below, should be. arrest? ed, and "held for puuishmentby the House. The effect of this was dra? matic iu the extreme; men's faces paled, aad many seemed to think that the world demanded an instant vic? tim. Tho resolution was adopted, and the arrest of the pugilist ordered. This terrible interlude over, -the par? tisan friends of Gvinnell grimly but triumphantly proceeded to the im? mense work before-them.'" Tim General, after exonerating Gen. Garfield, next takes ofT Oen. Banks. It is?to say the least, very dramafic : * "Gen. Banks satin solemn silence and looked on, with a countenance of gravity and wisdom,- during the harangu,e.of Wilson, and even daring the magnificently dramatic effort of Garfield to achieve a flurry caused by the announcement of a fist-fight, but finally, after the pr?viona question which cuts off all reply-was called and seconded, arose to take his part in the mighty affair. His voice?, cal* tivated and attuned to that of an am? bitions baritone, lacking only the Italian melody and finish, rang'out in full brit unvarying and monoto? nous notes, and penetrated every nook and corner of the amphithea tred hall, resounding back from the furthest galleries, and heard by every? body in and about the building except, perhaps, by the two chaps engaged in the sanguinary fist-fight in the basement of tho capitol. "The General was eloquent, and, like G in field and "Wilson, ever strong on the stronger side. In true trage? dian style, he informed the House that this was a momentous period iii our history. The House did not know, but ? happened to be informed as to what he alluded. I had been told that before the committee, he contended that as-the Southern rep? resentatives would soon be again in Congress, it behooved tho House tc set an example and make a precedent ia my c .iso,' that would deter them in all time to come from resenting any offences, or supposed offences, that might be offered them." The next scene in tho play was the reprimand itself. He depicts a scene of confusion on the occasion of ? general rush for law-breaks and pre ceden ts, and adds: "The great and energetic Chair mau, iu hi's inaudible efforts to keej order-hammering away with hit mallet-was quite as impotent ovei the disturbed crowd as an automata figure would have been, or a toj speaker poundiug ou a toy desk. "Perhaps the victim might escape Bossean, although censured in fac< by the action of the House, might after all tho trouble and fuss, get rh of the hanging and quartering tha were set down for him in the bill, am which tho "zealous prosecutors cann there to witness, and which some o them predicted he would run nw from and avoid. Tho delight migh not be.experienced of seeing the vic tim march np with the Scrgeant-at Arms, and be reprimanded, like ? culprit, at the bar of the House Radical piety could no more brook t bc thus baffled than could Shylock ii the play, or the good people of th old days, when intent on drowning witch or buming a heretic. In fae! the scene was not unlike Pope's dc scription of an excited spinster: 'Then flashed tho vivid lightnings froi ber eyes, Ami stream* of horror rend theaffrighto ?kies; " Not louder shrieks to pitying Heaven ai cast, When husbands or when lap-dogs bread th<-ir laut.' "I have no regret for my eonduc in the matter. I would have chai tiscd Grinnell at every hazard, and would do it again, to-morrow, und< similar circumstances. No man sha ever insult, with impunity, my pe< pie or myself, and on this issue submit the caso to your hands." . . : From WMhington. The correspondent of the Balti? more Sim writes : The radical press lay mach stress upon Gen. Sheridan's Last despatches to Gen. Grant, as settling the propo? sition thai all the blame for the inau? guration of the late riots at New Or? leans rests upon Mayor Monroe and certain ex-rebels. I have been per? mitted to read the last despatches from Gen. Sheridan, and I am en? abled to say' that- they do, not estab? lish any such -proposition. Gen. Sheridan gives a more extended ac? count of what he believes to be the facts than he gave in his despatch of the 1st instant, of "which I sent you a copy. He does not, ia the late de? spatches, review nor scarcely refer to the conventioners and their conduct, hut ho gives _a more detailed' state? ment of the reported behavior of the police and Mayor Monroe, whom he styles "that bad man," and whose removal he recommends. But Gen. Sheridan does, not take back nor modify in the least his estimate of the character of the usurpers who pro? voked the disturbances, and who are responsible, for the' murders and bloodshed thal took placo on the 30th of July. One thing comes out clearly in the despatches received here by the Presideat and Gen. Grant, and that is, that whatever-may be said of the conduct of those en? gaged in this deplorable occurrence, the "ex-rebels" were fighting to main? tain the-authority recognized by the Government and Congress. It should be borne in mind, however,- that thus far we hare received nothing but opi? nions from Gen. Sheridan, formed upon hearsay testimony, not given under the solemnity of an oath. Au official, and, it is hoped, an impartial investigation, is now going on, and in a few days we shall have a history of the Whole affair in an authentic form I have authority for saying, that as soon as theT? resident is officially in? formed of the. organization of thc Throckmorfcon administration in Texas, he will direct tho same steps to bo taken as were taken in thc transfer of the provisional Govern taento of the other States. A pro alamatio'n declaring that Texas ha? resumed her "practical relations", tc the Union may be looked for or Tuesday or "Wednesday next. The sum realized by the ladies al the Anaiostan Island entertainmen' on the 1st instant, for the benefit o Southern orphans, was 9130, *auc with this success to begia with, ? committee has been appointed tc repeat the festival^or the same lauda ble end. The number of beneficiaries of tin so-called equalizatiou bounty Ac will, it is found, be so inconsiderable in proportion to the number of claim in ts and expectants, that the measur will, instead of popularizing Cow gress, bring down upon it fierce dt nunciation. For every ono who rc ceives the bounty twenty others wi] be disappointed. The radicals ma lose twenty votes by the measur where they will gain one. To b sure, they may promiso to rob th treasury to a greater extent no> session, but the equivalent for add tional gay for members, withoi tvhich a majority could not be cd tained, will be wanting.

Tbe XtfUt Koyal Wedding and fee m. A. dal. The London correspondent of the Chicago Journal gives tho following particulars of the recent marriage and sacrifice of one of Victoria's daughters: All these matters, however, pale beneath the great event of the week, the marriage of Princess Helena, the third daughter of Queen Victoria, which took* place on Thursday last. There is something really distressing about the 'affair, as you will admit when I narrate the facts. The match, from first to last, has been distaste? ful to the nation, and now that the Queen has persisted in sacrificing her child, if she could read the hearts of her people she would find therein recorded an universal sentence of condemnation. It was supposed, some little timo since, that the mar? riage would not take place, but the Queen was obstinate and persisted in her determination. The real truth is, that, aside from other objections to tho bridegroom, he actually has a wife and four chil? dren living ia Germany. It is true that the 'marriage was called a mor? ganatic one, but it was solemnized, nevertheless, under tho authority of the church. Whether the Princess Helena was aware of this fact or not is doubtful, but the Queen was, and recklessly trampled all considerations of morality and justice, to " say no? thing of religion, under foot. It ia well known that she was remonstrated with on thc subject, bnt to no effect. She had set her mind upon the mar? riage, and defended her future son in-law with tho utmost spirit. The cause of her infatuation hae juat been revealed. When the statue of tho late Prince Consort was inau? gurated in Germany last year, the Queen's attention wu* attracted by one of the spectators who seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion, and throughout the ceremony his hand? kerchief was constantly employed in wiping from his face what were ap? parently tears. (Some who were present say, for tears read perspira? tion.) This sort of conduct was just the thing to touch the Queen's sensi? bilities. She inquired nt once whe the individual was, and learned that it was Prince Christian, of Schleswig Holstein. She sent for Him, took i fancy to him, aud finally throw bei daughter into his arms, since which lier infatuation has been complete. There is scarcely any onoa who doe? not believe that this petty Germai Prince, poor even to poverty, bb real income being only about a thou saud dollars a year, au adventurer, r notorious gambler and sporting mau a man with all tho low vices of th< German character and none of it: virtues, was simply playing a par which ho liad thoroughly studied be forehand. Conscious of the Queen' weakness, he purposely placed him self in her way, and by bis crocodil tears, on the occasion mentioned, sc cured an iuterost iu her which he ha managed to increase and retain unti lie has finally accomplished his pul pose. I am sorry to say there is n room to doubt the correctness c these statements. It was the place of the Prince u Wales to give away his sister n{ tn altar. He plumply refused to-do sc although he was present at the cen niony, to avoid future scanda Failing him, that duty devolve upon his young brother, the Duke c Cambridge. He not only d?clin?e but was not present at thc weddin at all. The bridegroom's lathe brother and sister, although espi cially invited by the Queen, n refused to come to Kn gland, and I their presence sanction the outrai then committed. Although it is sad affair, and while much sympatl is felt for thc young bride, tho aug rios for her futuro are of the darke character, and tho Queen and li mother has sunk to a very low degr in the estimation, of her subject The newly wedded pair have gone Osborne to pass the honey-moon. It is estimated that the amount money realized from the sale goods seized on the Northern fro tier by custom officials for violatio of the revenue laws during the fisc year, ending Juno 30, 18t*6, will t eecd tho necessary expenses of mai faining the system established in tl Treasury Department by about S15I OOO.

Tb?- True Origin Ot the Convention - - Plot. The Picayune says, editorially: There is not an honest or intelli? gent citizen, at all acquainted with the characters and antecedents of the main instigators of the revolutionary and incendiary plot, which produced the terrible scenes of yesterday, who does not know that the rani and eon trolling motives of those reckless and unprincipled men was to regain offices and patronage which they liad lost. since the close of the war, and by means ol which they had raised them? selves from poverty'and obscurity to comparative wealth and partisan no? toriety. It should not be imagined for a moment that? they were of the class of hones* fanatics, sincere' be? lievers in any of the doctrines or ideas advocated, by t hem ; that they had ever manifested any honest sym? pathy or concern foT the freedmen. The few, inour city, who have some claims to consistency and sin< px.fcy in such ideas and feelings, had uo part in this scheme. The leading actors were men who, before the war, wero of utter insignificance, and would never have emerged therefrom in any peaceful, respectable community. Many of them were renegades from the Confederate cause. During the excitement of the war, they managed to get the most lucra? tive offices of the State and city, and the Convention of 1864 was a prolific source of profit to them. The Sheriff alty of "New Orleans, the State Audit? or, the Clerk of the Second District Court-one of the most lucrative of? fices in the State-Public Printer, Register of Votes, etc., had all been appropriated by the parties who, having l>een displaced from these offices on the return of peace-dis? placed by their own Union friends immediately became very much dis? satisfied with the progress of affairs, and have ever since kept up an inces? sant agitation about the violence of the rebels and tho wrongs of the poor negro. The violence and wrongs which really troubled them were their exclusion from office and their return to tlieir normal state of merited ob- . scurity. This whole Convention revival scheme was got up by these men. It had not the support of 500 white men in the city or State. Unfortunately, j however, the giib and hypocritical demagogues succeeded in making a number of the poor, deluded, unso- j pbistfeated freedmen believe that they were their friends, and that it was in j their behalf and defence that this plot wus conceived and was to be car? ried out. ? And this is the true history of the j origin and purpose of this whole ue- I farious plot to overturn the Co vero,- ? mont of the State, and which ha\ : brought updb a . city which, at tho j time of its origination, was perfectly peaceful, quiet and law-abiding, the | horrors of a bloody riot, and tho un merited humiliation of martial law. Toe Negroes in Washington. j The negroes seem to be constitut? ing themselves as great a public nui? sance in Washington city as in Rich? mond. The Constitutional Union, of Monday, says: "The institution of the Freedmen's Bureau was a great thing for tho country, especially for the nigger. We do not know ex? actly where the headquarters of this costly piece of furniture is located, but judging from our senses o"f see? ing, hearing and smelling, one of the drawers thereof must have a local habitation in the upper part of the Sixth Ward, We happen to reside in that ward at present, and speak from ^infill experience. Night after j night, when all decent and honest ! persons are endeavoring to court the precarious (in thesehot nights) favors of Morpheus, wo have been kept awake, and praying for the disturb ers of our rest, by th^ stentorian clo- 1 quenco of an ebony divine, who holds forth to an interested and odoriferous i audience in a negro church, about a block from our residence. The yells and shouts that issue from the eon- j grcgation naturally suggest*! the idea of a pandemonium of demons, rather than a Christian Church. When the services are concluded, a drove of the 'black bruddern and sisters' take pos? session of the neighboring streets, and their incessant gabble and idiotic ! laughter convey a very forcible idea of tho noise of a vast drove of mon? keys or ourang-outangs. Wo to tho unfortunate wight (white) who hap? pens to be belated and meets tho gang. He is jostled out of the way, i laughed and jeered at, und if ho es- j cape wholo in body and purse, he may be truly grateful. Saturday night, a prayer-meeting-or we would more truthfully describe it as a fetish orgie-was held in a shanty in the neighborhood alluded to, and the i groans and cries of the sable fanatics | broke the quiet of tho night until long past the hour of midnight. How long will public decency conti? nue to be insulted, and the public good set at naught, by the pets of Thad. Stevens & Co'.? How long will our people submit to their insuf? ferable insolence? If the strong arm of the law cannot deal efficiently with this African plague, we care not how soon a vigilance committee may take the matter in hand, and with a stout rope and convenient tree or lamp? post, rid the community of some thou? sands of these pests." The Secretary of the Treasury has authority by the recent law to sus? pend the collection of direct tax im? posed by the law of 1S61, in any of the Southern States. Tn? Feeling nt the Sont lt. A traveling correspondent of the Nerr York Herald, having tuade a tour of the Southern States.' concludes his letter as follows:. T cannot conceal the fact thal there is danger to the country in louget withholding recognition of the South ern States. Not danger of an open outbreak, but danger of ffainething else, which in the end may plow even worse-danger of a resurrection of sectional hatred. When the war ended, all the barriersbuiltup between the two sections, North and South, by long years of opposing systems of civilisation, were laid HS Hat aa the walls of .Jericho. Every Unite?! States officer I have met, who was i u tho South at the time of Lee an<l Johnston's, surrender, has testified t>> me that the people threw open .theil doors to the Union soldiers, ami wei corned them almost as reconciled friends from whom they had hem long estranged. Gov. Wise stated in my presence that, had the two armio.-, been allowed to settle matters at Ap Eomattox Court House, peace would ave been established on a basis that would have-<- curred as long as Ame rica remained a nation." I believe ho is right. The course was clear then for conciliation and concession. Bm as time went on, and as the purpose of the radicals to retain power in their hands by holding the Southern States as conquered provinces became fully apparent, some of the old haiti feeling towards the North revived, the people looking upon the radical Congress as an embodiment of the views of the entire North. Disloyal articles appeared in the newspapers, and the people, without fully endors ing these productions, read them with a grim kind of satisfaction. A feeling, not of active hostility, but ol sullen apathy toward the North, sprung up iii the under strata of Southern society. Every act of th? radical Congress helped* to rebuild the old walls of sectional antagonism on a new foundation. This process of rebuilding the old party wall ol distinction is still slowly but surely going on. You see indications of it on every hand. It sticks out in the spasmodic movements set on foot withiu the last few .months for ren? dering homage to the rebel dead. It is plainly apparent iu the portraits ot Lee and Stonewall Jackson which arc. now conspicuously displayed in every Southern hotel and almo+>t in every house. The Southern States, denied equality with the other States of the Union, are retiring within themselves and feeding on the unwholesome me mories of their lost struggfe. Tho approaching elections must decide whether this kind of thing is to go on, ?nd whether the re-united States are again to be separated into two sections, estranged in heart and sen? timent. Restore the Southern States to the privileges of citizenship, aud 1 am satisfied they will discharge tkeii duties honestly and in good faith. Deny them this right, and the risk and the loss will be ours as well as theirs. I went into the South, I cou fess it, imbued with radical proclivi? ties. I come back strongly convinced that the policy inaugurated by Presi dent Johnson can alone restore har? mony and prosperity to the country The. wife of the French Consul was seriously wounded by a stray shot during the New Orleans riot.
