ATLANTA. GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 22. Our Washington Correspondent. Ai • specimen of the reckless manner in which the Radical organ makes its state ments, we may evidence its assertion last week, that our Washington correspondent, “ Argos,” wna s gentleman of Atlanta, who had been favoring os previously with dis patches. The assertion is incorrect. OT Prince Arthur sent a costly gold me dallion to Miss Minnie Sherman, daughter of the General, as thanks for the General's hospitality, and a tribute to American beauty, of which she was so striking an exponent. This was hardly fair. MLs Nellie Grant Ashed for all these princely presents. But l»*aty wss ever more potent than roynity with young chivalry. Sugar iu Louisiana. The sugar crop of Louisiana in 1863 was 81.256 hogsheads, or 00.051,225 pounds, and C.CSI.003 gallons of moliasses. This was more than double the raise of 1867. The acres cultivated wero 63.109; sugar- growers, 747; sugar-houses, 637; average, per acre, IA0i pounds of sngar and AO gal lons of molasses. The following is the yield from 1834 to 1863: Hogsheads isst sera 18B ism 18ST.;;;"""".37.647 ISM S1.S5S •er the word “vengeance. We know that he either u«ed that word, or a word of like sound and import. So objectionable were hi3 utterance* that they called forth hisses Irom the House and gallery. And he failed to answer the question pro pounded “whether he was still for war?” The above card, signed by a number ofi gentlemen whose names we withhold, but that can be given If necessary, proves thst Representative O’Neal did utter the atro cious and turbulent words stated in The Constitution as having been uttered by him in the debate on a resolution to fill the vacancies In the Legislature. Wo csil the attention of Republican Con gressmen. as well as the good people of the whole country, to the blood-thirsty lan guage of this leader of the Radicals m the Georgia House of Representatives; to bis reckless and vindictive sentiments intro duced into the discussion of a measure of simple law, and to his fiery appeals to the worst and vilest political phrensy of the day. That this sort of intemperance and sav agery should come from men who arc trad ing in their false charges of Democratic lawlessness is one of those hideous Incon sistencies in which the records of Radical ism abound.

The South Carolina Radicals can find time to iugglc through plundering bills for the Legislature, but they have no leisure to pass matters for tiie public good. Sprague, the Senator from little Rhody, bought the Columbia Canal for manufac turing purposes. Tim law required him to complete widening the canal in two years, lie found it better to thribble the width, which will rcqulro three years, and addi tional legislation. The work is waiting on the Legislature. The Senate passed the needed bill, but the House lias balked. Tho Assembly will soon adjourn. Sprague will not begin the work until the Legislature acts, .rad if it don't act, lie will abandon tho contract, and thousand* of dollars will be lost to the State. This Is after the fashion of our own Rad ical" Legislature Thirty-nine days are spent In Juggling the body into Radical consistency, Jnd seeming an office foronc or two men, while notan act of any sort of legislation is done, rave to pay themselves for the ayhole period. Including two weeks spent at home. THE SUPREME BENCH, How Bradley got the Appoiutmcut. Eleemosynary Trades for Office, Mack, in one of his recent letters to the Cincinnati Enquirer, gives the following items of information: StteUT. The Hon. Mr. Bradley was the first to conceive the brilliant ides of making Gen. Grant a summer citizen or New Jersey; and the first to suggest tho substantial gift which has since accomplished that great purpose. Months have rolled around since that time—monthsof anxiety not nnmixed with doubt and fears to Mr. Bradley, The star of hope has burned dim at times, and. perhaps, be has often wished his labor and nia money back. But now he hag his re ward. He feels that the investment was e good one. On the day before the nomination of Mr. Bradley I met a Republican Senator who had just been visiting the White House to urge the claims of another candidate. He seemed in an unusually bad humor, and be fore 1 had said a word to him about Grant or the administration lie commenced a promiscuous damnlngof things in general, I asked him what was the matter. “Oh. nothing,” said he, “only I wish Grant would pay off bis debts some other way than by nominations to the * Supreme bench.” lie then proceeded to state that when he entered the President’s private room lie found ex-Governor Ward, of New Jersey, there; that Grant was whittling a stick and smoking, and that he and Ward were talking about that Long Branch property; that Crane had asked Ward how much be thought It was worth; that Ward said be didn’t know, bnt he hoped Grant wouldn't sell it. “No,” said Grant,“Idon’t think I will sell it. It’s a very nice piece of property.” “The nicest in the State of New Jersey,” said Ward, “ and you’d bet ter hold on to it. It’s getting better and better everv day.” I couldn’t exactly understand what all this had to do with the Supreme Bench, for up to this time Iliad not heard Mr. Brad ley named—so I asked what the connection was. “Oh, it bag ad—n sight to do with it.” said tiie exasperated Radical. “Ward ho* come on here to get Bradley, of New Jersey, appointed, and 1 infer from the way they were taking that he had succeeded.” The next day Bradley’s nomination was cent to (he Senate, and meeting my Repub lican friend in the Senate lobby I remind ed him of our talk on the avenue, and said hewasrightin Ids guess about the object and success of Ward's visit. “Of course f was.” said lie. “ and 1 wish you’d expose the tiling.” ~ I'il do it.” said I, “ bat it won’t do any good. One-half of the people in ■ he Republican party have determined to believe nothing injurious to Graut, and the other hall an; always ready to be persuad ed that what would be a crime in another President is a virtue in Grant.” “How ever,” said I. “ I'll make a paragraph about it.” And so I have.

Tho Governor Won’t Oriler Elec tions, and tlic Radicals Sustain llim. Of all the revolutionary acts and illegal omissions of liutrTif the present ruling dy nasty in Georgia, there is none to surpass tlio refusal of the Governor to order elec tions to fill the large number of vacancies existing in the General Assembly. Some of them have existed nearly a year The law is imperative in requiring the Governor to oriler elections. Yet in the teeth of the law. and fearing that the elec lions would result in the return of Demo cratic members, the Governor, month after month, withholds tbe order. There is no possible defense for this omission of duty. And when an effort is made in the Legis lature to direct the Governor to do It, Rad icals oppose It with furious phrensy, and a recklea attempt to revive bad feeling, and atirtherountry to violence, and the effort Is voted down. We call the matter to the attention of Congress, as another of the illegal expedi ents used by tills Radical faction to thwart reconstruction, to set aside the will ot Con gress. and bring discredit upon Northern Republicanism. Butter’s Plan to Squelch Dlsabll- ties. The mighty Beniamin, he of the spoons, lias reported a bill In Congress that lays down the method of getting political disa bilities removed. It is a process of marvellous circumlocn tlon. and could only have originated In tbe brain of some petty-minded moral torturer like Butler. It requires the dis ibled to petition the Federal Court for relict, stating what office he held before the war. what aid lie gave the rebellion, his renunciation of fealty to bogus governments, his promise of loyalty hereafter, his good conduct since June, 1SG5, and his innocence of any Interference with anybody's civil rights.

ORKELET SATS GEORGIA SHOULD BE AD MITTED. We care very little about the personal questions involved in the Georgia Senato- i ial dispute about to be precipitated upon Congress.

Chief Justice of North Carolina, are considered the "coming men” fora seat on the Su preme Bench, in ease of the rejection of Bradley —Washington Correspondence Bal timore Qasette. SPEECH OF MR. BIRD. OF NEW JERSEY, AGAINST THE GEORGIA BILL. If I understand the temper of the people, this strange, unnatural, and outrageous In terference with tbe rights of a free people will never be accepted by those who sin cerely love a constitutional form of gov ernment honestly and faithfully adminis tered. You may append this etiange to the Constitution, but tbe people of many States will neither respect nor obey it. It will be denounced ns illegitimate, and those who stand as its sponsors to-day will in the hour ot its peril flee from its vindication. It will be ignored and resisted. Great and sovereign States will not yield to an intol erable degradation at thodictatc'of force, whether it be aimed at them through a Congressional majority directly or through the action of a far-off State. * • » • The end is not vet.

There is no safety from ; despotism but in preparation to reject this, - 1 I.. .1.- oomn If! shade of rose colored silk. Miss Grant conveys herself quietly in and out ofthe company through the evening. The child has beautiful brown hair tailing loose over her shoulders, hut is not remarkable in other respects. Her dress is embroider ed white muslin, over blue silk, with high neck and long sleeves—a plain and girlish dress, in very good taste. Whatever .else m.sy be said about Mr3. Grant, nothing can be urged against the appointments of her family or her liouse- huld on the score of taste. Everything in furniture or dress Is handsome and weli- CLosen. Conspicuous by her delicate waxen face, large eyes, and elaborate coiffure, is the wife ot'tbe Indian Parker. She is tbecom- plete picture of i parlor beauty. Another of the same type promenaded the East Room, observed ot many eyes, a slight waxen blond, the freshness a little discol ored wearing a rose-colored poult, with court train, that looked odd in the "petite figure, the apron and waist crossed ana cov ered with point lace and June roses, in lav ish clusters. Her coiffure was singular, but in a style admired by many young women of the period.so I quote It: Flaxen, blonde hair, curled over a slate pencil, evi dently. and turned back from tho forehead in a mass of short, feathery hair, a fringe of which fell over the brow below the rose fillets which bound her head. On this young person glittered some of the largest diamonds of the evening. She looked weighed down with her marchioness fine ry, the poor little, excitable, worn beauty. Two charming little* ladies, one of them the tiniest creature I ever saw in a draw ing room, are the daughters of Congress man Jenckes, of Rhode Island. They were dressed in rich black silk, with white lace, fichus, and the younger, or smaller, with her crimson cheeks and impatient brown eyes, swept alter her stately papa with the air of an imperious petite Victoria. They were so fine and lady-like, witli all their minuteness, that one dared prophesy them a striking success at the capital. Their miniature highnesses drew themselves up in the embrasure of a window in the Blue Room, with a firm dignity which matched anything in manners produced that eve ning. Mrs. Mayor Wallacli, one of the noted belies of Washington, stood near the Presi dent’s party. Her per ect white shoulders, straight low features, and dark hair were something to admire, as well as her queen ing style. Her dress carried ont her col ors—black and white. Mrs. Creswell looked like a French pic ture. her powdered curls falling from the top of herhead in antique coiffure, bring ing ont the brilliancy ol dark eyes, as pow der always does, and her graceful throat rising out of the square corsago laces of her black velvet dress. There was a young lady with features more Egyptian than Greek. Colled black hair, dressed with shaded convolvulus, liko her robe, and tbe strongest, most intelli gent black eyes that ever flashed from a human face in my sight. And a dark, bright, morning-fared belle, with" Vien nese corset, judging by her waist, who swept yards of white and crimson satin be hind her, and wore a haughty gold aigrette in her black balr. And the Turk ish Minister, Blacque Bey. who is an ama teur ot music, and carries nothing of it in hU gentlemanly, sleepy, full face, which has one redeeming feature—almond- shaped, melting dark eyes. And old Mr. Grant on a sola iu the bine robin watching; with a pleased face tiie gay group about his son. And new Senators studying the sccrc with ryes that betrayed little of the interest it wore for them, and gorgeous women, whose identity was unattainable.

Tito Last Days of a Bohemian Wo man—A Sad scene. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Telegraph writes as follows The other evening I accepted an invica tion of a somewhat peculiar character, and paid a visit to acertain remit,ine reputabil ity. who atone timewas exceedingly well known as a queen In Bohemia. That time lias long since passed, and tiie woman of good abilities, who might have won a fair success upon tiie stage, or with her pen. now live* from hand to mouth in one wretched room, dealing ont spitelnl gossip in excellent language, sm i ting strong ci gars. drinking raw wlii-Uy. sandwiching her sentences with highly flavored oath*, cramming herself w<th spiritualism, and indulging largely in reminiscenoes of palmier days, when diamonds and laces wero plentiful, and she one of tho giddiest Floras of the period. The acquaintance who Introduced tn* promised me I should see a strange sight —to use his own language.“an Intellectual ovoman going to the devil.” Tho description was a very sad one. It was very sad to see that woman lying there —for It was past midnight and site was in bed—her hair streaming upon the pillow, tiie rumpled frills of her night-dress be traying more than a blonde-burlesque am plitude of bosom, her cheeks more becom ingly bcctie than any rouge could make them, and her eyes flashing like generous dark gems. With a carelessness which she neither apologized for nor attempted to remedy, the bed-clothes were huddled around her form, and as wo entered she flung down the book—it was Swedenborg’s “Heaven and nell”—and greeted us with a saucy self-possession whluh the airiness of her attirejrendered rather piquant. It was like visiting a played-out Cora Pearl— a cocotte In her last days, when theft ret two syllables are gone out of the bubble-anil, squeak of existence, and only the squeak remains. She had come down to tiie soup maigre of life, after having lingered long, loth to depart, over the grouse and pheas ant. Some valuable diamonds she still re tained, and one niagiillieeut cluster she bad fastened around her neck. Tiie furniture of the room wasextremely cheap a ml com mon, and the various articles ot the toilet were “slung” sronml with a greater re gard to convenience of the moment than the eternal fitness of things How she talked! It wus painfully grat ifying to heartier. Her power of conver sation was far beyond that of any one else in the room, and the wielded it incessantly and with apparent relish during tiie hour we remained; now giving anecdotes of Lola Hontoz and Adah Isaacs Menken, (whose portraits decorate the walls of her room), now vehemently dccLitnlngagainst what she termed tiie shamelesshy poerisy of a woman who notoriously apes morality, and scandalizes, for spite’s sake, a-profession she never possessed tiie physical charms to succeed in. Puffing the very strong cigar that oneot the men in tiie room had offered her. bullying her guest for not bringing her so much as a mug of ale from the restau rant below, quoting thoughtful aphorisms from Bulwer. and emotional passnges from Byron, expressing a sensuous delight iu children, and especially in boys, swallow ing raw liquor with no greater apparent flush either in her face or emphasis, proud ly trampling down her sense of degrada tion. and boasting that right or wrong she meant to fight it out on that, line to the latest day of her existence, defiantly an nouncing that it was her principle in life to do as she pleased without caring a what anybody thought, the woman was a spectacle not easily to be forgotten. She was one of those fascinating sinners whose repentance angels are said to rejoice over. Will she ever give them a chance? Flight anti Arrest of an Arcliducli- o»s. . Galignani’s Messenger, of tiie 31st of January, has, the following report of the above named case: A subject of conversation in diplomatic circles is n scandal of which a princess of the Imperial family of Austria has made herself the heroine. Tiie Archduchess Elizabeth, tired of tiie monotony ol conju gal life, fled recently from th>- chateau of Seclovitz. abandoning her husband, the Archduke Charles Ferdinand, and her four children, in order to see the world. She was, however, overtaken at Hamburg, just as she was about to embark fur tbe United States. Tbe Archduchess is thirty nine years of age, and is a daughter of tbe A rch- duke Joseph of Austria, Palatine of Hun gary, and. consequently, sister of the Queen of the Belgians. She was a widow, alter two years of marriage, of Duke Ferdinand of Modena, brother of the Conntess de Chatnbord and of tiie Princess Maria of Bourbon, mother of Don Carlos. She sub sequently married the Archduke Charles Ferdinand. A daughter by her first husband is the wife of Prince Luitpold of Bavaria, and one of the most wealthy princesses in Europe.

The Senate was called to order by Presi dent Conley- Prayer by Wesley Prettyman. The journal of tho 16tli was read. On motion of - Mr. HARRIS the rule relative to the hour of adjournment was suspended. The CHAIR announced as the committee on Enrollment, Uigbee, Welch, Wellborn, Speer. Fain. Wallace, (colored), Dickey. The unfinished business being the coi - sideration, of Mr. Brock’s resolution was resumed. Mr. HINTON being entitled lo the floor, offered the following as a substitute in few pointed and puugent remarks: Whereas. The people ol Georgia have re cently emerged from a tierce and devasta ting war the consequences of which have (alien heavily upon ail tho citizens of said State, reducing many from a state ol weilth and ease to a condition of penua- ry and want; its hardships In a pecuniary sense rone have escaped; and, Whereas, As tho results of the war much of the property upon the faith of which credit was extended, has been destroyed, and even the pittance left vastly deterior ated in value; and, Whereas. The enforcement Of tho pay ment ot the indebtedness of tbe people, at ibis early period after the close ofthe war. would work a great sacrifice to many and utter ruin to others: and. Whereas. These calamities have befallen the people without any purpose oh their part to avoid the payment ot their indebt edness; and. . Whereas,’ It is believed that a law con stitutional in its provisions will bo passed before tbe adjournment of the General As sembly. which will afford real and substan tial relief to tho citizens of Georgia; A nd. whereas, we recognize no moral or legal distinction between contracts entered into before and since tho war,except the former are subject to be adjusted according to principles or equity, as provided by tbe ordinance of 1863, and more recently by an act of tbe Legislature, entitled an acL “ For the relief of debtors and for theadjustment of debts upon principles of equity,” and such further action as may bo bad in rela tion to the same; And, whereas, wo regard tho amount found to be due bv a debtor before, during and since the war, when ascertained by the laws of force made and provided for (lie adjudication of the same, as binding botli in morals and in law. ns contracts made since the close of the same. To the end,-therefore; that one class of creditors shall not have an uuduc advan tage over another class; be it Resolved, That no ministerial officer of this State siwll cxccnto any judgment or decree eradiating Loin any court of this State, founded upon contracts made cither before, during or siocc the war. until alter the expiration ol the contemplated recess of the Legislature, and for twenty days after the reassembling of the same. Resolved, That no court of this State shall hear and determine any matter of contracts for Clio payment ot money be fore, during or since tiie war, until the ex piration of the time aforcs-thl. Resolved, That nothing in the foregoing resolution shall be so construed as to inter fere with the collection of claims for ser vices rendered—since June 1S65, and pro vided that attachments may issue when ever a defendant places himself in any one of the positions authorizing the same*. Mr. NUNN ALLY said that neither reso lution suited him, and he offered a resolu tion as a substitute for both. The resolution wa» id effect, to stay all executions ai.d judgements founded <>n contracts entered into prior, to June. 1SU5. Mr. HARRIS opposed the substitutes, and favored the resolution of Mr. Brock Ue moved the previous question, when Mr. WELLBORN arose to a point of or der. Mr. WELLBORN contended that neither the resolution rior the substitutes could be acted on, ns the President had ruled that tiie Senate, not having been recognized by the proper authorities, could-not legislate. The PRESIDENT decided tho point not well taken, thus reversing his former de cision. • Mr. HUNGERFORD appealed from tho decisiun ot the Chair. •Mr. WELLBORN proceeded to address tiie. Senate on the appeal, sustaining his point of order by extracts from the Gov ernor’s message and the President’s rul ings, when The PRESIDENT decided him out of order; staling that the question of order most be decided at.once without debate. Mr. HUNGERFORD raised the point of order that it was out of order for a member to approach the. President and influence him to change his position. The PRE'IDENT denied the “soft im peachment.” AARON ALPEOUJA sustained tho Chair in the decision. Tbe decision of .the Chair was sustained. The vote then occurred on Mr. Nunnnl- ly's substitute, and the substitute was lost. ’ Tiie vote was then taken on Mr. Hinton’s resolution, and tbe resolution voted down, hy yeas 8. nays 25.

T. G. CAMPBELL (col.) offered a reso- Iutlon.-that all proceedings in the oourtsof this State, both civil und criminal, be sus pended until the courts are rc-organized, and civil law re-established, and that Gov ernor Bullock be requested to ask General Terry to give this resolution the forco and effect oflaw. Tbe PRESIDENT thought it was the same subject matter as the last resolution. CAMPBELL.proceeded to ventilate his spleen against Courts and Juries. Mr. NUNN ALLY* thought that tho reso lution might ba construed into legalizing tho Ku-KIux, and therefore moved to ta- blp it.

A message was received trom tho House, announcing that that body had concurred in the Senate resolution, to pay officers o the General Assembly, etc., with the fol lowing amendment,“authorized by the Constitution of Georgia,” and by striking out the word “employees.” On motion of Mr. Harris, the Senate re fused to concur in the amendments.

At 10 o’clock a. », the House was called to order by Speaker McWhorter. Prayer by Rev. R. W. Fuller. Roll call omitted. Journal of yesterday read and approved. Mr. SCOTT gave notice of a motion to reconsider the action of the House yester day in laying upon the table his protest and his resolution to fill vacancies existing in the representation of (xsrtaia counties. • Mr. SCOTT’S motion to reconsider bis protest was laid on the table. The motion to reconsider tiie resolution in refereuce to filling vacancies, was ruled ont of order. Debate resumed on O’Ncal’i relief sub stitute. Mr. LANE; of Brooks had tho floor. At his request, the original resolution of Mr. Bethutic was read; also, the substitnte offered -by O'Neal. Mr. LANE advocated tiie substitnte. as It was couched In stronger verbiage than the resolution of Bcthuue. Previous question was here called, and carried. On the main question, tbe yeas and nays were called. Yeas 71; nays 48. Resolution adopted. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, moved to take up tho Senate resolution, providing pay for officers, clerks, door-keepers, messengers, etc. “ Resolved, by the General Assembly, tbe House of Representatives concurring thcro- iD, that tiie Governor lie required to draw bis warrant on • tho Treasury, in favor of the officers, clerks, door-keepers, messen gers, and of tbe employees of tho respec tive Houses, for such sum of money as may be due to oaclu upon the certificate of the Secretary of tho Senate and Clerk of tiie House of Representatives, and that such amount bn ciiarged in final settlement,” Mr. SCOTT, of Floyd, obtained the floor hud was proceeding to oppose the resolu tion, when Mr. FITZTPATRICK. of Bibb, asked to make a remark. Mr. HARPER, of Terrell,tofto toee,said * let him say,” and be said Mr. Scott need not make a long speech, a* they (tho Radi cals) intended to. vote it—meaning the res olution—down. Mr. SCOTT feared “ tiie Greeks bringing presents,” and, seeing O’Neal eager for the fray, declined to stop, butcontinucd his re marks. Who wero the Clerks? Was it the long list of retainers who bad been hovering mound tho Egyptian flesh pots from tin: infamous inauguration of tbe plunder scheme under bass drum Harris, through its mysterious ramifications down to the present non-descriptand anomalous position of retainers. Registers in bankruptcy, roll-callers, lobbyists, and tho countless hosts used in the Bullock & Blodgett machinations to all the session, recesses, Intorims, etc. It was indefinite, uncertain, illegal, uncon stitutional as originating in tho Senate, when alone an appropriation of tnonoy can originate in tho House—in a word, an un blushing avenue of corruption. Ue moved to lay tho resolution on the table. Motion lost. O'NEAL, of Lowndes, obtained the floor. It wus not an appropriation of money. It was only directing tho mode and manner which hinds, already appropriated, should be drawn out of tho Treasury. [ When was the appropriation made?] lie tlioughtdctnocratsopposcd litis meas ure because stipcudarics were Radicals. Republicans should vote for it in self-de fense, becanso tho Clerk’s were Radicals. [Cunning Onealj Mr. ANDERSON, of Cobb, took a sensi ble anrl just view of the matter. The poli tics of tho stipendiaries had nothing to do with the pay of persons entitled to st. In the main, he favored the proposition. It was, however, too indefinite—an omnibus bill that opened too wide the doors ot fraud. A message from the Senate announced. Mr. ANDERSON continued. He wanted tbe “payees”defined. Ho asked to have the amendment of Mr. Hamilton, of Seri ven read. Mr. Hamilton’s amendment proposed to strike out “employees.” Mr. SHUMATE offered an amendment to this—to Insert, after “Clerks,” the word* “authorized by the Code.” lie called the previous question on tho amendments.

Tho yeas and nays were called. Yeas 56, nays 62. So tho motion to lay on tbe tablo was lost. The previous question was then put on amendments, and carried. Upon the adoption of the amendment the motion was carried. Yes and nays called for—not sustained. Amendment ordered to be transmitted to the Senate.
