Morton was in an nnnsnal heat to-day, but the bnrly Blaine overwhelmed him, and may now be regarded aa the leader of the diatraotives.

This'order will be explained as ralisv- ing the Federal troops finally from all dnties inoident to the present oivil politi cal condition of the Southern States. Major Bnrke has left heie for New Or leans with a written assurance from the President to this effeot, and Senator Gor don has s similar document to be forward ed to Gov. Hampton.

It is not trne, as stated this afternoon, that Senator Gordon has any letter from President Hayes promising to withdraw the troops from the support of Chamber lain in South Carolina, bat Gen. Gordon has exerted himself for some weeks to save Gov. Hampton’s administration, and has snoh assnrsnoes from the advisers of President Hayes as give the Senator every reason to believe that within a few days Gen.

Many Repnblioans voting with tbs Democrats in opposition to adjournment. Mr. Blaine spoke in favor of swearing in Mr. Lamar, and said hia credential* were entirely regular, and he was jnat aa mnoh entitled to be sworn in aa he (Mr. Blaine) or any other Senator sworn in yesterday. ’ Blaine has startled the Sensta. He thinks Pinehbsek ahonld have been ad mitted. He favors sealing Morgan and Lamar. Answering Morton as to wbst he would do with Kellogg, under hia line of argument, Mr. Blaine said he had a reso lution in his hand whioh he proposed to offer when the present case was disposed of, to seat Kellogg. Dawes has declared in favor of seating Lamar. Spenoer spoko in opposition, and has sent to the Clerk's desk to be read as a part of his speech oertain committee re ports on the Mississippi election. The prooeedings are on the motion of Wallace to seat Lamar. Wheeler called the Senate to order. There was a fall attendance ineluding Judge Davia. After Lamar had taken oath', Mr. Blaine anbmitted the following: Uesolved, That the oath of offioe re quired by law, be now administered by the Vioe President to William Pitt Kel- logg, whose credentials aa a Senator from the State of Louisiana, were presented on the 20th of January, 1877. Mr. Bayard saked the Senator to with, draw that resolution for the present that he might submit one to have Gen. John T. Morgan, Senator-elect from Alabama, sworn in whose case wee similar to that of Mr. Lamar. Mr. Blaine said the oase of Mr. Kellogg oarne before either that of Mr. Lamar or Mr. Morgan in its order; therefore it had better bs acted on now, Bayard then submitted the following substitute for the resolution of Blaine. That the credentials of Wm. Pitt Kel. logg claiming to be a Senator from the State of Louisiana, do now lie npon the table until the appointment of a commit tee on privileges and eleotions to whom they ean then be referred. Mr. Blaine said, I do not desire, Mr. President, to detain the Senate by any lengthy presentation of Mr. Kellogg) ease, regarding him ss I do as the regu larly and duly elected Senator from the State of Louisiana. oould wish that there would be no objeotion to hia being sworn in, I believe that he was elected by the legal Legislature of Louisiana. Ibolieve that he was elected by and represents the legal Government of Louisiana, and I do not see now to-dsy,and that is the ratio point I desire to present, bow any Senator who voted in this chamber that the eleotoral vote of Louisiana was legally and proper ly oast for Kntherford B. Hsyes and your, self, Mr. President, is permitted to donbt that S. B. Packard is equally of right to the Government of that State. Blaine then proceeded to desoribe the oreation and operation of the eleotoral law. Blaine oontinned : I know that there haa been a great deal said here and there, in the oorridors of the Capitol around and about, in by plaees and in high places of late that some arrangement had been made by whioh Paokard was not to be recognised and upheld ; that ho was to be allowed to slide by, and Nicholls was to be aecepted as Governor of Loniaians. I want to know who had the anthority to make any Buch arrangement. I wish to know if any Senator on this floor will state in hia place that any person, apeak ing for the Adminiatration that was coming in or the one that was going out, had any right to make any snob arrangement. I deny it, I deny it with out being authorized to apeak for the Ad ministration that now exiata, bat I deny it on the broad ground that it ia an im possibility that the Adminiatration of President Hayes could do it. I deny on the broad ground that President Hayes possesses a oharaoter for common aenae, self-respect, and patriotism, all of which he baa in high measure and in eminent degree. I deoy it on all the grounds that oan influence human action, on all the grounds on which men can be held to per sonal, politioal and official responsibility. I deny it for hitu, and I shall find myself grievously disappointed, wounded and hu miliated, if my denial is not vindioa- ted|in the poliey fit the adminiatration. But whether it be vindioated or whether it be not, I care not. It is not the doty of a Senator to inqnirs what tba poliey of an administration may be, bat what it ought to bs, aad I hops a Bepabliean Washington, Maroh 6.—The New York Timet in an artiola on the inauguration, referring to the South, says it ia impossi ble not to admire their spirit. It is per fectly patriotic. It ie free from narrow, ness and partisan bias. It is enlightened and it is independent. By what prooeas or methods Mr. Hsyss will oarry his ad. mirable sentiments into effeot, it ie too soon to eay. It ie oertain, however, that whatever they may be, they will be at tended with great and eomplioated diffi culties, and that the oonntry will have to judge them with forbearanoe and to wait patiently for their fruits. The eomments of the New York press on the inaugural are not worth telegraph ing. They are more vagne than the doo- ument itself. KNOLISH OPINION. London, Maroh G.—The inaugural ad dress of Hayes, whioh ia pnbliahed here in fall this morning, has crested a very favorable impression. The Timet says the greater part of it was of a oharaoter that might have been well received by men of all parties. The Seise says, of oourse, general prin ciples do not help mnoh to oool angry pas sions, whioh hsvs been settling for years bat there is a time for the statement of principles as well as of details, and it is but fair to remsrk that ss far as they go, the prinoiples President Hayes enunoiatos are exoelient. The Telegraph says Mr. Hayes’ com ments on the eleotion ordeal, whioh pnt such a severe strain on the Constitution are suoh as become a President, who, from ths moment he takes the oath of office, should belong to all parties. On the whole, we do not imsgins that even hia oandid opponents will complain of the tone and temper of the addreas, whioh deals with questions of highest moment primarily to Amerios and indirectly to all the wordl. Mr. Hayes speaks with the dignity and frankness becoming the Chief Magistrate of a great people, and points the way to ends wbiob, if they oan be ac complished, will redound to hia honor, and that of bis oountry. THE EA8T. A HI HE NELL. AN ALABAMA WITNESS ON THE WIGGLE Of WASHINGTON—HE TALKS AND SWBABS AT BOTH ENDS OF THE "DIAPHBAOM." Home time ago a oertain resident of the good old oonnty of Bnlloek, O. H. L , by name, took up an idea that he would like to go to Washington and see the sights. He had no money and it both ered him for some time aa to how he would menage to get to the aepital city. A bright idea Strunk him. It is a wonder it didn’t kill him; but it didn’t. The Ala bama investigation was in progress and witnesses were being snmmoned to snligbten tbe Senate committee upon the ways and means of John T. Morgan’s election to the United States Senate. Our hero at once formed his plans. He ealled upon several leading Ropublioaua and after a few knowing winks, snd wherefores, and whynots he opened bis safety-valve. He knew all about the ineaus the Demoorats used in oarryiog Bullock county. After a little pump ing, he told E tale of fraud, intimidation and corruption near- passed in all history. The story of ■he poor ghost to Hamlet whioh was to make each particular hair of the yonng Dane stand ou end like quills npon tbe fretful poronpiuu, was nothing oompared to this story of Demooratio fraud and shame and oorruption. The story took well. It seemed so ' plausible that the ooufiding Republicans swallowed it all down. The large Republican majority in Bnllook had been overthrown. Here was a Demoorat confessing that it was done by shameless fraud. “Fay my expenses to Washington,'’ says this Demooratio ex poser, “end I’ll have a military Govern ment in Alabama in a month. Ill show how Republican votes were torn np and Demooratio votes slipped in the box es. I’ll show how Demooratio managers opened tbe ballot boxes, took oat Repab- Uasu voles and stuffed the boxes with Demooratio ballots.” This was s story whioh aaused oertain Repnblioans to leap wilh joy. They agreed to pay his expen ses to Washington st onoe. He was sum moned in the proper way, and the money wee made np, a tieket purohased, the yonng Demoorat was taken to Washington. Arriving there was taken to the Imperial Hctal; Republicans paid bis hotel bill also; they treated him like • king—keeping a sharp eye on him, however until he should be oalled before the Committee. The Re publicans were just burning to get him examined. The time soon oame. He was pnt npon the staud snd . He swore that if there ever was a fair and peaoeable election on earth, it was the last eleotion in Alabama. lie was asked if he did nut inform oertain gentlemen so and so. “Yes, I did,’’ says he, “Bat I wanted to oome to Washington and see the sights. I had no money, and I fixed np a nioe triok on a few Republicans so that I could get my expenses paid bars." “Were yon lying to the Repnblioans when you made these statements to them?" i ed tbe oheirman of ths committee. “I only Jslking then, I am swearing now.” And so the high hopes of thorn oonfldlng Repnblioans were dashed to the earth. They eeme ont of the committee rooms with long ftoes. They were minna a good round ram of money end lost tbe eolat of an exposure whioh was to put the mark of sbsme npon the Democratic party. Mr. L. was left out in the oold. He is now adrift without • dime in tbe world, snd no way to get back home. His Demooratio friends ought to make him np a purae—enough to get back home.—State Journal. CONFERENCE OF RUSSIA AND GERMANY. Berlin, Maroh 6.— Emperor William reoeived General Ignatieff yesterday. Ignatieff’s mission seems to be to induce the Powers to cause the Sultan to sign a promise to carry ont the reforms within s stated time, or adopt tbe reform pro gramme of the eonferenoe. Should he fail to fulfill his promise, the question who is to deoide whether the Saltan has really carried ont this programme, will probably be left undetermined. It is understood as probable thst sn agreement will bs effected. VIEWS OF PALL MALL OAZETTX. London, March 0.—Tbe Pall Mall Ga zette, of this sflernoon, oomments unfa vorably ou Gen. Ignaticff’s mission, and thinks England oannot oonsant to an ar rangement whioh would simply fix the time for a general scrimmage over Turk ish territory, unless Europe agreed to let Russia have her own way there when the time oame.

The resigna tion was laid on the table, and tbe Com mittee will hold another meeting at seven to morrow evening, at tbe same place, to consider it and elect Mr. Hewitt's succes sor if neoessary. He is ill at his rooms on K. street and unable to be present at tbe iaBt session of the House to-night. Referring to his place ou the Natioual Committee, he says he was “tired of it.” There is little doubt that be is not only tired, bnt disgusted with the abase to wbtoh he has been subjected almost in- ooasantly during tbe past nontb. A Newspaper Correspondent Struck By A Member or the Hones.

Mrs Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton, who was married on the 2d, at the age of 70, was in her earlier days as famous as Mrs. Browning or George Eliot. She wes a gr^nd daughter of Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Beginning with Rev. Thomas Sheridas, who never allowed a day to pass wilhont writing something witty or sen timental, the Sheridan family was remark- able for brillianoy and talent. Thomas Sheridan, son of Rev. Thomas Sheridan, was a man of talent, and his wife,Franoes, was a novelist and dramatist of oon. aiderable reputation. Their son, Richard Blinsley, was tbe snoceBSfnl orator, dramatist and politician. Mrs. Norton inherited the genius of the Sheridan family, and at one time blazed in tbe lit erary firmament as a star of first magni tude. Tbe brilliaut success of her first poem and her rapid elevation to the first plaoe among literary women, her great popularity, proved a barter to her lasting success, though muob that she has written is preserved iu fragmentary form. Still, few of her works are now read and these by few only. A review written in 1830, says : “Her sudden snd dazzling popu Isrity ban proved injurious to the exer. cise and reputation of her talents. She entered the arena of professional litera ture, and under tbe strong temptation of taming fame into something more substantial and not leu chining, she haa frittered awey her versatile powers in fragments snd sketches—prose and verse." In 1827, she was married to Hon. Georga Chappl* Norton, brother of Lord Grantiey. In 1830 shows* accused of a criminal intiinaoy with Lord Melbourne,the Frime Minister, bnt was acquitted.

A NUMBER OF MR GLADSTONE S LETTERS SAID TO B1 IN A LADT's POSSESSION. Correspondent New York Times.] Paris, Jsu. 26, 1877. A story appeared in tbe liepubliqut Kraneaise, the organ of M. Gaiubotta uud tbe Republican Loft. A correspondent gives a scandal iu whioh the reputation of Mr. Gladstone ia involved, and pretends to aooount for tbe position be bus taken in Qio eastern difficulty by saying that he ia amourtux. The eminent statesman ia represented to be in the hands of a Russian Frinoeu of great beauty,who was oberged with tbe delicate task of weaving her toils about a statesman of GO years. The jour nal in question statu that Mi. Gladstone ia now the object of pnblio goasip, tbe grand dame Jiutte in question having boasted of her auoous,and stated that aha had a nnmber of compromising letters. It is oertain that the lady who is separated from her bnsband, an aid de-oamp of the Grand Duke Nicholas, has been lor a year or more past one of the diplomatic agents of Prinoe Gortsohakoff, iu London. Mr. Gladstone has been extremely asaidnous in his attentions to her, and it is now said that it iB owing to her influence that he turned against tbe Turks after having fought for them in 1864. Be tween the two there have ourtainly keen frequent exchanges of letters, and the report is that tbo lady has some which do more honor to his heart, than to his pru- dence. The report first appeared in a journal of Sheffield, and tho reply to it wm not a little embarrassed, but con tained a sort of denial. Whether or not there haa bun a sort of indisoretion on tbe part of Mr. Gladstone is more then one oan learn from the correspondence. It is insinuated, but not direotly affirmed. Bnt now that the story has appeared, the enemies of Mr. Gladstone will continue to believe that he wanted to drive the Turks ont of Europe at the instigation of the Russian Gtree, end that hia remarka ble ohange of poliey was due to her aweot inllnenoe. Let me say here that the lady is as spintuelle as she is beautiful, aod is one ot those strange beings who seemed to be born to profit by tho weaknesses of men. Aux grande hommet let grandee Jaihleetet, Bays Prudbotniue, and it is up on this principle that the wily Gortaobu- koff works when he sends ont the most beantiful women of his country as diplo matic agents. CHRISTIAN AND JEWESS, Mr. H. L. Oliver, formerly of Alabama a yonng lawyer of good standing at the Nashville bar and of respeotable family oonneetions, wm married to MisH Hannah Weil, daughter of Mr, Weil, of thia city, at her father's residenoe, Friday eveuiog, by Jnatioe Creighton. Feeling that her parents woold oppose the mntob, as it is against the Jewish areed to intermarry with ether nationalities, she went to her father and pnt to him the following in surmountable interrogatories: “Father, how old urn I?" Father—“Nineteen yeura old,my daugh ter." Daughter—“Whon does a yonng lady become of lawful ago ?” Father—“At the age of eighteen." Daughter “Then I am froo to act for myaelf, am I not, father ?" Father—"I see no objeot’o'i 11 i'." * Daughter—“Well, then, Mr. Olivor loves me ever so mnoh, uud I iuve him ever so mneh. I want you to o inaeut to onr marriage, for if you do not I f«cr we will havo to ran a say, and I'd much rather be marriod at home. The father was very muoh astonished at her pointed enquiries and more so when he found her bslrothed to a Christian gen tleman bnt, after pondering the matter awhile, gave the sensible respoDBo, “Well, if you are bound to marry : I would rather you would be quietly married at home.'' And so tbe young people were married and left for Huntsville that evening.— Nuehville American. Muscogee Sheriff Sale By ACEE k YONGE, Auctioneers. W ILL BE SOLD.
