FROM OUit
OF YESTERDAY.
Washington Nmiaatl Gossip.
[Special Correspondence of the Biltitaore Gazette.]
Washington, Feb. 23, 1668.
Very interesting events doubtless Lave
transpired within the last lew days, and
others of eouig interest to the country per
haps, aro in tho immediate future. But
mueii of what has been telegraphed from
hence is the merest gossip. The fact* are
that the President of the United States at
tempted to remove a civil subordinate, was
insultingly repulsed by him, and the party
whom he had commissioned supply the
vacancy, immediately arrested and placed
under heavy bonds to auswer betore a par
tisan Judge for a crime, created by an un
constitutional act, that thereupon the House
of Representatives, with commeudable
speed, referred these matters to a “Kecon-
Biructiou” Committee, who instantly pre
pared and passed, by a vote of seven to two,,
(strictly party) declariug that the said Pres
ident had committed “high crimes and mis
demeanors” and deserved punishment there
for, together with a deprivation of his office!
That the gracious Mr. Stevens, who has
boeu again installed as leader, benevolently
permuted tho matter to be discussed until
a small hour this moruiug, aud does
not intend to “press a vote” until
five o’clock to-morrow afternoon. So fai*
n8 to the lacts developed. The eveats sure
to come, are that at the said hour of five
> the resolution will be passed by a strict party
’ vote—that the articles, or as some have it—
the article of impeachment—(already pre
pared) will be submitted and passed as afore-
fcttid—that the prosecution will be speedily
pressed before the tSciiate, which will with
out delay convict the prisoner, when the
presiding officer thereof, the venerable Ben
Wade, accompanied by a squad of Grant’s
soldiers, will proceed to the White House,
take Mr. Johnson by the collar and summa
rily eject him from the premises. This is all,
however, the sensational journals may see
proper to howl. And, pray, what is there.
In all this to create public surprise ? If the
President snail be exempted from further
, indignity—if be shall be permitted to roam
about outside of Fortress Monroe, and es
cape the shackles—not ot party, but of the
legs— the virtue of leniency, tor which the
llidicals are so justly celebrated, may be
still further extolled, aud still further harped
upon. As to the people ot this great coun
try, what havu they to complain of, or bo
astonished at V Are the current “proceed
ings’ a whit iu advance of those they have
over and over again witnessed ? Methinks
1 hear the “tinkle” of that identical “little
bell” very audibly.
Good meaning men may, notwithstanding
all the evil discernuble in such really out
rageous tyranny, draw a modicum of com
fort, tor evi 1 is rarely unaccompauied wholly
by some scintilla of good. After Mr. Wade
shall have been installed, tbe lying rascals
of the Radical press will surely bo stopped
from laying at the door of the Democrats
the responsibility of tbe knavery of the
horde of official delinquents which will in
vest all brunches of the Government from
top to bottom. The outs will then, to all
iuteuls and purposes, be Outs, aud the Ins,
Ins. This will give the opposition journals,
moreover, an opportunity to speak out upon
many matte:8 upon which they have hereto
fore reluctantly held their breath. Mr. John
son, personally, has executed his high office
with a purity and patriotism not excelled by
Washington himself; but big surroundings,
from which it seems he could not, from the
peculiarity of his situation, wholly divest
himself, hare been an incessant embarrass
ment to him aud to those who were his dis
interested friends, and his true coadjutors
iu the great cause, lor &u honest adherence
to which he is about to be immolated.. ,
WADE'S CABINET.
1 have lost confidence in any advantage
we may derive from bickerings among the
Radicals as incidental to Wade’s elevation.
Doubtless he will surround himself with ex
tremists of the Sumner stripe. Already lists
of his “Cabiuot” are in circulation, contain
ing the names of the martyr Sickles, the he
roic Pope, the incorruptible Butler, the ora
torical Logan, Honest Simon Cameron and
the Carnot of the War Office. Mr. Stevens,
I learn, declines on account of ill health,,
and Mr. Sumner, with classical gracefulness,
wittily gives forih that he prefer* to remain
Secretary of the Exterior! Notwithstanding
this lormidable array of “extreme” Radicals,
1 have liule faith that such moderate Radical
Radicals as Ftfsseuden, Sherman, Trumbull,
&pd Morgan, of the Senate, or Paine, Liw-
rence, aftd Spauldiug, of the House, will fail
to “stick” to the party, (to use another
characteristic expression of the refined Sum-
jj er )i I huve too often seen them bend the
knee t 0 their dictatorial masters to hope for
*uiy symptom of manliness.
Probable passage of the edmunds bill.
.fLdmuoda hill, the effect of which
. 1 ‘ oo to depose the President from office
immediately on the presentation of ariieles
J l lD1 Peachment by the House, was brought
forward by it 8 author, and its passage urged
with great vehemence, both by him ana a
imii r of olher Senators. Both Mr. Trum-
u l and Mr. Fessenden opposed it, not only
u the ground of unconstitutionally, as
ln k clearly an ex post facto law, but as also
J v ‘og the effect to damage rather than
P omote the parly interests. A majority of
l.iif e .iP re8ec t were ,n laYor of pulling the
n ‘ lhr °ugh, but it .was finally decided to
p stpone fi rm i ac ti on on UQl ji to-morrow,
th ,® u . aB °tber caucus will be held, aud by
at tune, Mr. Sumner says, the two above
tli i gentlemen will be ready to fall into

Q which they have been refractory at tbe
cgmuiog and docile at the end.

[From tbe Hartford j3ourant.]
A lady, in passing through this city in-the
catsior Boston cin Setarjay, was compelled
to stop on aepount of the sudden illness of
her child—about thirteen months old. At
her request she. was driven to one of ithe
cheapest of respectable hotels in the city,
and medical aid wag called. She stated that
she was from Louisiana, and was the daugh
ter of a well-known ex-Governor in that
State, and lived on i \arg©plantation a short
distauce below Tort Hudson. Her husband
died some ten months ago. During his ab
sence iu the war the Federal troops came to
her house and plundered freely. She gave
them of what she had tp eat, and they helped
themselves to various articles. One man,
among the last $o go, discovered over one of
the inner dooes Vband&ome sword, and de»
mantled it. The lady refused to give it up,
as it had belonged, during his lifetime, to
her father, whojirized it as a Kuight Tem-
plar’s sword. The soldier persisted, and th*
lady armed herself and declared she would
defend the sword with her .life..
The soldier left; but returned with others,
and finding tbe outer door fastened, tney
begin firing through it.- Odd bullet hit. the
lady in the back of her neck, passing oiit ot
her mouth, carrying wilh it three teeth. The
wound i-j still deep and' plain, and she has
saved the teeth, and she also saved the
sword. She. says her large sugar plantation,
though one of the; richest thereabouts, can
not support her and htr child, or enable
them to get bread—such is the existing state
of utter destitution in the South, and the
plundering of thieving bands of negroes.
She goes to Boston to sell the estate at
much less than its former yalue, an ex-officer
of volunteers, who lives .there, having agreed
to purchase it ifebe would execute* deed of
it there. . Seeing Jier need of money, some
contributions were made iip tor her, with
which she immediately purchased, warmer
clothing, better suited to this climate. One
curious feature of the story v^as. this, that
her child was the only survivor of triplets,
and on a former occasiox? sh* gave birth to
four children.^ None of them lived,
Since the te^ible earthquake at St. Thomas
aud other Gulf Islands, it has been dis
covered that the Gulf stream ha* nearly
doubled its velocity, and the phenomena is
now attracting very general attention among
scientific men. It was. first discovered in
the increased difficulty^ of'navigation near
the Florida Keys, even steamers finding it
difficult to weather points easily passed pre-i-
viousiy. The consequences to result from
the chauge afford a fruitful field for scientific
speculation.
The Alabama and Florida Railroad will
be sold at public auction at Pensacola, on
the 2oth day of March next, by the United
Slates Marshal, under a decree of Judge
Frazier, sitting in bankruptcy.
A Hopeful View of th* Future of the
__ 1 South.
General L. P. Walker, made .an able and
eloquent speech before tbe Central Conser
vative Club of this county, on Friday last,
it was intended to induce the defeat of the
constitution, and- its reproduction, at this
time, would be useless to that end. But the
distinguished speaker took a more hopeful
view of the future of Ahe booth, lhan either
he or the most of his audience are a oat t
take, and it is well to present the public the
basis of his hope. Ho said in substance:
That dur(ug his recent sojourn of three
months in New York and two weeks iu
Washington, fie had conversed with a great
many gentlemen, Democrats and Republi
cans, who convinced him that a largo ma
jority of the Northern people would not
approve the Radicals policy of Congress
toward the South—lh.it negro suffrage was
unpopular at the North generally, and so
unpopular in the State of New Yorjt, that

ting at Albany, consistin g of onto buo-
died and sixty members, a large major-:

cent ly made to submit the question of negro:
suffrage To the popular v©ty,Mt received onlyj
twenty votes!—that he was.^eueoursged by-
the asSurfertdtlof the President that if tjie
Southern people would only have patience,
fortitude and prudence, and bo careful to
give no occasiou for the Radicals to revive
popular prejudices at the North against
them their salvation from oppressive leg
islation and misrule would not be long
postponed—that he (General W.) was satis
fied that tbe Supreme Court would decide
the Reconstruction acts unconstitutional
aud that the triumph of the Democracy, with
the aid ot Conservative Republicans, in the
next Presidential election, would ensure pur
deliverance. He said the Northern Demo
crats and the Republicans, who would vote
with them, were resolved that if they car-,
ried a majority of tbe 'Northern electoral
vote for their candidates for President.anq
Vice President, they would not suhpgfit iq
the counting agaiuat them of the tlectora
vote of Southern States, denied represbBta
tion in Congress and carried -for The Radical
ticket by universal negro suffrage and the
proscription of white men.—Huntsville Demi

The Regular Abxx nr the Field,—It
appears that General Sickles is stumr“ -

To the Editor of the Cincinnati Commercial:
Having noticed, in the Commercial of the
UKfe insL, a highly incredible story, copied
from, the LaCrosse (Wts ) Democrat, per
taining to a parson whose sex, it was claim
ed, whs changed at the age of puberty from
that of aiemuietothe male gender, my cu:
rioBity to know what truth there might be in
so strauge A story led ure to address tbe
Postmaster of the town, wfiere this remarka
ble freak of mature is said to have occurred,
for Information upon the subject. The fol
lowing response from the postmistress of the
town of Brodhsad, although not scientifical
ly explaining tbe question off^‘sex” pertain
ing to the individual under 1 discussion, is
sufficiently suggestive to enable one to draw
a tolerably correct conclusion therefrom .>
Mr. Burnham, so-called, was probably
born a bermopbrodite (belonging to neither
sex) andwas assigned by the parents to the fe
male department of the family but upon attahi-
ing the age of maturity the change ofthejeaai-
nf*>e “voice and the growing of a ‘Wop'of
whiskers,”, incidenied a predominance oi
the male gender, WlK-reupoq Mrs. Powell
donned male attire, and changed her rela
tions from that of a wife to a husband, so-
called. - , 4 :j r 'If ; , .. •••{ .
The story of said, individual having been
first a mother and then a father, it wUl.be
seen by the accompanying note of the postj
mistresa, is without foundation us was. to
have been expected:
Brodhsad, Wis., January 1, 1868.
‘^ib—The story -you Wish in formation
about is partly true. Ellen Burnham was
martied a$ a. woman. 1 attended h^r wed
ding ^arty. . She lived two or (brie years iu
that relation; then changed her clotbiag*
lived single, a yearot two, then married a
lady of my acquaintance. I understand
they Hfsd happy together.; He never was
father or mother. Tney were some of the
first people of our town. His father was a
physician, and a very fine mau.”
