WASHINGTON. Alarm Over the Georgia Election— Attempt to Adjust the Grant-Sumner Quarrel— Proposed Increase of the Whiskey Tax. Wasnincrton, Dec, 1870, Leaders Alurmed—The South Se- enred to the Democracy. ‘The result of the Georgia election has disappointed the republicans, who expected to carry that State, ‘Its now conceded that the entire South will go @emocratic in 1872, and the republicans are consid- @rably alarmed at the prospect. If the South goes @emocratic it wiil be impossible to elect the repub- Hiean candidate, except Pennsylvania, Indiana and other Northern States, which are now doubtful, can be carried. The change of affairs in the South ‘Was not altoger unexpected to sharp politicians, but 3b was thonght that a few States would be carried by ‘the republicans. A New Question of State Rights to be Settled. A letter was recentiy addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, by Russell Sturgis, President of the Board of Vilot Commissioners of New York city, complaining of the action of the United States Jocal inspectors at New York jin licensing pilots who have been dropped by the Board on account of their refusing to comply with the rules and regulations made by it under the State law. This question, involving the right of the State to limit the pilots to certam rules and regula- tions, has never before been disputed, and the sub- ject has been referred by Secretary Boutweil to the Solicitor of the Treasury for his opinion as to the authority of the deparunent to interfere in the | matter complained of. Attempt to Smooth tie ‘troubles. There Is a disposition manifested on the part of the mutual friends of the President and Senator Sumner to smooth over the recent troubles and, if possible, to prevent anything like a contimued breach Of friendship. An official of high standing, who is equally the friend of President Grant and the Sena- tor from Massachusetts, remarked to-day that he had carefully read Mr. Sumney’s speech and his remarks running through the entire debate gn the St. Domingo resolution. He said that Mr, Sumner was noi aware that his speech contained remarks as severe as they really w re; or,1n other words, that he thinks he said : othing at which the President and others concerned should take um oMicial also remarked that Mr. Sumner disclaimed any Intention of using severe or harsh terms, and that he considers himself justly entitled, man of the Committee on Foreign Relauions, to op- pose any measure which, in is opinion, should be opposed. In regard to the promise made to support the treaty when the subject was first proposed, ne 4s clearly of the opinion that such support was con. lingent on the recetpt of certain information, which Mr. Sumner alleges was only furnished in part. ‘The Senator does not hesitate to say that he could not, under any circumstances, have promised to yield Diind support to the measure, nor could he cousei- eutiously have led the President to believe, simply because he honored him with a call, that he Would support so important a measure without first having fully investigated the sabject. Mr. Sumner thinks that bis past record is consistent with the declaration that he 1s not blindly led, and if he | 38 obstinate It is not from prejulice, but from con. Viction. It 1s und re, that Senator Sumner will, on the reassembling of Congress, agatu call for certain documents bearing onthe St. Do- Mingo question, which he believes w withheld ‘when others were transmitted in compiiance with a Tesolution jug documentary information ov inat subject.

Several prominent members of the House who are ‘anxious to put themselves on good terms with the administration have determined to prepare speeches, during the recess, in favor of the St. Doiningo resolution.

Adventures of a Gay and Festive Coach- man With a Rich Widow and Her Handsome Daughter. Sad Story of Fortune, Misfortune, Love, Rob- bery and Desertion—"She Vowed Before Heaven, Over the Grave of Her Dead Father, to Ever Love Him’—The Coachman Arrested Just as He Was Leaving the Country in One of Uncle Sam’s Naval Vessels. Bosron, Dec. 24, 1870, There is a very clever little romance connected with the case of Samuel F. andrews, the Hartford coachman and alleged diamond and jewelry thief, the arrest of whom was mentioned in the Boston correspondence yesterday. As stated then, he was taken into custody on the charge of purloining some thirty thousand dollars’ worth of gems from Mrs, Antoinetie Gridley, in whose employ he was as coachman, It is further alleged that he got away with watches and various other articles, all of which, together with the diamonds, he tymed over to “his uncle’ for small pecuniary considerations, Most of his alleged pil- fering 1s said to have takep place in Springfleid, where Mrs, Gridley has recently moved to from Hartford. When found he was on board the United States war steamer California as a common seaman, and in a few hours he would have been far beyond the reach of officers and detectives. He was apprehended Just in time, however, and has been taken to Sprin, field for examination. Pending his departure to Springfield he was con- fined in the station house at Charlestown, where he was interviewed by Mr. Benjamin Roberts, of that city, and, if nis narrative 1s true, it furnishes mate- rial for ab unusually interesting: and exciting ro- mance froin real life. Andrews told Mr. Roberts that in July, 1863, be was in the employ of Mr. Van- derbiit, son of the Commodore, aad that from there he went to work for Mrs, Gridley jor twenty-five agtars per mouth. r moma, f was then, he says, rpresented to him that the Jady waS worth at least half a mitlien of dollars, and that she was a Southern lady, who bad always moved among the arisiecratic valry of the warmer clime Kier bearing every way bespoke this, and Andrews was box, driving her or her lovely dangh | streots or suburbs of Hartiord, where they j lived. ‘Ihe real ‘story of her life says, that she was the wife of dit indt: and’ frugal farmer of the Connecticut but that, health tailing, he sold his propert 40 and moved to New Haven, where, by nate stock vestments, he amasged quite a snug. fortune betore his demise, which was a few months verore And! went to live with them, Airs. ¢ sold out ot Haven, and buying a benutifil house in Hartford cam to live.

Ciristmas Mfummeries in tlic Gold Room. Fricky Bulls and Bears Masquerading in Broad Strect—Sights, Scenes, Incidents of the Af fair and Sport—Sketches of the Actors, In this metropolis, so prolific in sensations and fertile in scenes and moving incidents, there is no place where national character can be 80 weil studied as in THE GOLD ROOM. Here the moneyed adventurers of all nations, at- tracted by the glitter and glare of republican pros- perity, crowd around to add theirjvoices to the gene- ral uproar and to strive with those to the manner born whe snatch from slippery luck the guerdon of certain fortune, It is a peculiar study, inasmuch as there are various and numberless characters en- gaged in the race; men of all ages and of ull nations pressing onward toward the goal of wealth to which, alas! but a very few ever reach. A Britisher on *Change will swell with importance while mention- ing his pounds, shillings and pence in the lottery of exchange. A Frenchman on the Bourse will imperil his neck while striving to raise his Mnancial hopes to the level of bis shoulders; but no- where on earth cih such & scche be witnessed as1s occasionally presented in this, the Am- erican metropolis.

From out the crowd A GENTLEMAN, ae NGELY DISGUISED and wondrously wrapped up, marched forth at the head of a delegation of similarly attired burlesquers and presenting a formidable document tg Mr, Hoyt, demanded his opinion thereon, It turned out woe an injunction restraining the Vice President from doing any more business until three o'clock. with ail the dignity of his Honor. Mr. Hoyt said he would take the papers, consider the matter and give his opinion in thirty days. A procession was then formed, headea by a “band” of four pteces— tin whisiles and tsh horns—and @ march {n state was made round the room, Haiting again in front of the desk Mr. Osborn played “Home, Sweet Home” on his splendid cornet-a-pision with much feeling and efect. At this time a number of banners and streamers were hoisted over the shoulders of the crowd. On these were observed the legends “you KNOW HOW IT IS YOURSELF.” “Py pot a ’ed on ’em.” “Septembe 69, gold 16213. How was that for high? ember 24, 1570, gold 110% How is thatfor low?” After the pro- sion had toeted round the room “the Glee Club” mae a noise, and then the entire crowd marched into the street, accompamied by all the newsboys. The strange procession was reformed in_ the street; rehed up and down, visited the office of the hooted and tooted; came back |, Shouted and kicked up thelr heels in After they tired of this innocent amusement they doffed their disguises, and, enter- ing the Gold Koom again, recommenced to shout and howl as if nothing had occurred, and as if the Christ- Inas shadows were not fast descending on the already silent street.
