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 6 as this is not the first question 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 ia The Constitutional Convention now sit ting at Albany, consistin g of onto buo- died and sixty members, a large major-: ity of them R-pobficans, a proposition, re-; 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 ocrat. : ' v Tz 5T O ^ The Regular Abxx nr the Field,—It appears that General Sickles is stumr“ - New Humpahire in the intereiit of the I cal candid ale, and . has exerted himself tp misrepresent the real issues of tbe canvass.
