RADICAL CORRUPTION.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald, under date Of the 18th instant,
says:
The first fissure in the dsentegration of the
Radical party was displayed to-day, IN the wild
writings of the Pacific Railroad rings over the
exposures OF q Cincinnati Radical paper OF the
conceded corruption in and out Of Congress
in regard to the granting Of subsidies to West
ern roads, and in regard to the attempted sale
Of lands enough to form whole States by the
Interior Department, to certain spectators for
a mere song. These swindles have been the
object OF General Grants denunciation within
and for the whole Of o month past. They re-
ceived attention in MIR. Washburne's speech in
the House, when he admitted that his party
exceeded in corruption and scoundrels any
other party ever born. These statements, for
titled by proofs, q Western correspondent re-
produced IN the paper in question: That cores
pondent and paper and the New York Tribune,
which copied his letter. we're made tho victims
to-day ovor whose shoulders General Grant and
Mr. Washburnc were lashcd in the most abu-
sive and violent manner by the retained sena-
tors Of tho railroad rings before mentioned
It was an exhibition which shocked and startled
the many Republican leaders who have sought
to give pause to the rank corruption charac-
terizing their party on raill Dad Legislation. For
more than two hours did Harlan, Pomeroy and
CONFESS unblushingly defend these railroad
grants and land sales which the President elect
has declared will, if continued, ruin the Repub-
lican party. Under the pretext of assailing
Grants desire to stop this torrent OF corruption,
these senator's foully assailed that Representa-
ton OF the facts for which Grant has made
himself Responsible to the country. The assault
on the papers was only a cover Lahind which
were gathered all the force OF the consolidated
rings against the purposes OF tho President
eject. In vain did Trumbull, Conkling, and
feud by Interruptions of other measures. The
railroad senator's mad their say out; defended
the swindles Of the past and quoted them as
~ si tha he asEty and asta Ehieh
are twelve more railroad bills, filed to the brim
with subsidies, which are to be reported and
passed this session. These subsidies the best
party's salvation sake. To day the gauntlet
was thrown down by the railroad Congress-
men, that no railroad grants should be defeat
ed, but oil should be added on to the divisions
which impeachment, civil tenure, negro suf-
frage. financial affairs and whiskey thieving
are participating within the party.

THE -EMPEROR'S SPEECH.

The session OF the French Senate and Corps
Legislatif was opened on the 18th instant by
the Emperor Napoleon in person, with 8
speech from the throne. He said the task
before the Legislature was serious one, viz:
To conduct the government strong enough to
repress excesses, while accepting oil the bene-
fits of the liberty laws. Making concessions
to the press, and granting the right Of public
meeting had the effect of preserving pnbic or
der, and the fact that the recent elections re-
suited in favor of the government confirmed
the Justice and wisdom Of these concessions.
The laws providing for o military organiza-
tion had given strength and confidence to the
nation, which was now ready to meet all events
OF the future. The armament OF the forces
was perfect the aIsenals were filed with sup
plies, the reserves were we'll drilled, and the
organization of the national guard approached
completion. Fleets had been refitted, and for
tifcations at all important points were in good
condition. The imperial wish was realized.

Peace has been heretofore sought not be-
cause OF weakness, but to sustain the honor Of
the state The revolution in Spain had not
altered the good relations OF France with that
country. The conference which had just ter
minated it's sessions, and which would extin-
guish conflict which had become Imminent,
was the last grand act, the importance of
which all should appreciate.
The members Of that body had all agreed on
q principle calculated to restore friendship be-
tween the Turks and Greeks. II the firm hopes
OF success which they entertained should be

IRISH TENANTS AND LANDLORDS: -Ejectment
notices are required to be served in Ireland
under the protection Of large force Of the
police. At recent trial, an account was
given of the extraordinary proceedings adopt
ed to remove the tenants on the property OF
Archdeacon Butson, near Ballinasloe. An at
tempt to serve the notices having On o previ-
GUS secession been resisted, q body Of eighty
constables, under the direction Of mag1s-
trate, repaired to the lauds. After an ineffec-
tual attempt to induce the police to permit
the notices to be served. the baliff and under
agent went forward to afix them to the doors
Of the tenants houses, under protection OF
number Of the police, and were instantly as
the men throwing stones and the women tubs
of filth and lime in q liquid state. There were
cries that they would mase it another scully

The under agent and head constable were Sc
verely beaten. Ultimately the notices were
nailed on the houses, the whole body of police
being necessary to drive the people back. The
tenants assert that their landlord wished TO
change the arrangement about the letting, and
to charge them thirty shillings an acre for a
bog they reclaimed, and had before held rent
free.

COLUMBIA, January 20.-The reception Of the

the warmest expressions OF surprise and thanks.
He was not only treated with the greatest
civility, but was received with that kindness

that peace and order may be preserved; also
that there is great harmony in the relations
which exist between the white people and the
freedmen. Mr.. Chamberlain is satisfied that
the community is one of the most peaceable
and law-abiding in the State, and that the bad
reputation which has attached to the district
is only due to the viciousness OF some eight or

A Paris letter, dated the 21st ult. SAYS:
A scandal Of the hour is the entertainment
given by Worth, the man-milliner, at his
chateau in Suresnes, q village overlooking the
Beis de Boulogne. It did not arise from the
lnsolent luxury of his chateau. This is un-
bearable to many persons.
aspsssss ef ys hsanss each
wealth increased. The extensive grounds have
almost as many capricious excuses for spend
ing money as Stove, the Duke Of Bucking-
houses, bridges, plgodas, filed with bronzes,
porceains, old armor for summer-houses or
pagodas, statues and vases for bridges and ter
races.
The tables of the house are covered with the
most expensive cashmere shawls. The arms
of the chairs are covered with the oostliest
iaces. The scandal consists in his inviting
aud in their accepting his invitation. They
burst not do otherwise.
Had they refused he would have refused to
recelve their ORDERS and for fashionable lady
to go into society unattended by Worth would
be mortifying enough to drive her to suicide.
do not hint fear Of his asking payment of
bills had any thing to do with the alacrty with
which his invitations were accepted. But
people with retentive memories will recall the
embarrassment with which fashionable society
was thrown five or six years since upon the an
nounoement of Worth's retirement from trade,
and his successors intention to be paid all bills
or bring suit on them. There were $500. 600 or
$500, 900 due him.
Princess de Metternich owed, SO the scanda-
lous chronicle said, $50,000, and even quiet
debtor to the amount Of $4,000 I suspect
Worth was emboldened to this step by the
success OF his tea during the winter. He has
in private drawing rooo, next to the trying
On-room, tea served every afternoon and even
ing. He invites none to enter but the most
aristocratic customers. This is an honor
eagerly sought.
At his chateau he has been inviting these prin-
cesses and marchionesses TO tea at four O'Clock
p. M. (the new fashion). He received them
wearing flexible boots reaching to the knee, a
broad belt around his waist, gloves with cuffs
long as dragoon's, and a flexible hat under his
arm. In his vestibule were six footmen Dress
ed as Chasseurs. The tea was served from
silver urns in Sevres' porcelain cups. I be-
lieve Worth is an Englishman. Is it not odd
an Englishman should be the arbiter of
fashion in Paris?
