ALEXANDRIA,, Y A.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL s, 1874.

The yexed South Carolina question received
more attention at the hands of the President
Yesterday. A delegation of Republicans from
that State had an interview with him.
In reply to statements made by the delegation
the President said in substance : You have
presented what seems to be a fair and sufficient
answer to the memorialists. | know OF DO way
in which the General Government can inter
fere in the management of your Internal affairs
and this told the memorialists when they
were here. FROM your statement 1t appears
that it costs less per capita to govern your
State now than it did before the war, and, II
this be true, | do not see how taxation can De
burdensome or oppressive. You are charged
with extravaganza in the expenditure OF pubic
moneys, which, if true, should be arrested.
The President said that he was not correct
ly reported in the speech attributed to MIN
when the delegation from the other side walt
ing upon him.

The Richmond Wing, which opposed the
Funding bill, originally says: The BILL we
have said, is now an irrepealable law, aud we
hold it to be the duty of the General Assembly
to respect it's sanctty as though its wisdom and
constitutiouality had never been questioned,
and further. to provide, so far as it may be
practicable, due regard being had to the life
of the State, for the literal enforcement Of its
provisions. failure to provide revenue that
will pay four per cent, at least, upon our ac-
kuowledged Indebtedness, will be a calamity
long to be lamcnted"

A letter from Washington says: There Is
very high authority tonight for the statement
that the retirement of Mr.. Richardson from
the Secretaryship of the Treasury will take
place within the next thirty days There are
various interpretations Of the reason for the
change. That most stated is the voluntary
withdrawal of the Secretary to engage 10 bank
ing business in London. 1t is learned that this
action on the part of the Secretary will be In
anticipation of the effect Of damaging results
of the moiety and Sanborn Investigations by
the Committee of Ways and Means. There is
no doubt but that the committee, ii Mr.. Rich
ardson still holds bis office when they have
finished, will request his dismissal by the Presl-
dent. There are various rumorS as to his prob
able successor"

arouse him from the sleep of death 10 which
he appears to be. He does not say in that ar

Laws of Connecticut about kissing. l do not

Ii he is, he has 90 right to kiss his own vile
without her cvnSe1t, aud he has no right to

Congress.

The proceedings of the u S. Senate, yester-
day, were unimportant. MIR. Morrill,, from the
Finance Committee, reported adversely Oh the
bill to provide for free banking and specie re-
sumption. The bill was put on the calendar.
MIR. Scott, from the same committee, reported
adversely 90 the bill to refund internal revenue
taxes enormously assessed and collected. MIR.
Hamlin introduced bill which provides that
no shipmaster shall be compelled to pay pilot
not voluntarily employed, and that all State
laws enforcing such payment shall be void and
of NO effect An effort was made to take up
the bill remanding certain contractors for the
construction of naval vessels to the Court OF
Claims, for the adjustment of their unsettled
accounts, but objection was made and the bill
was laid over. A humber Of private bills were
passed.
In the House of Representatives the Cur
rency bill was debated at length. Speeches
were made by Mr.. Platt Mr. Monroe, MIR.
Cox and Mr.. Orth. Mr.. Eldridge, in the course
of personal explanation, revived the report
about the Supreme Court being ''packed'
TO reverse the lega-tender decision. Judge
lIoar introduced newspaper authority to show
that the nominations of Judges Strong and
Bradley had been made on the same day that
the decision was announced, and that the two
events had no possible connection with each
other He further stated that the nomination
of these two learned Justices had been agreed
on long before it could have been possibly
known what the decision of the Supreme Court
would be. MIR. Butler gave notice that be
would to-day move to take up the Currency
bill passed on Monday by the Senate.
