The Attorney-General has decided that where a contractor to carry mails abandoned his contract, the Postmaster General could not relet the route with? out advertising. The' House Sub-Judiciary Committee held a brief consult ition to-day on South Carolina matters, and postponed tiua) action till next Monday. The subject of the tax-payers' memorial excites the grave consideration of the sub-commit? tee, who will report in conformity with the magnitude of tho interests deemed to be involved. The influence wrought by the arguments of the tax-payers is felt in Government circles outsido the Judiciary Committee, and is daily grow? ing more potential, as is evidenced by the gravity with which the subject is being considered. It is noticeable that the disposition to sift tho complaiuts of the memorialist aud the answers of tho State officials very closely, accumulates in force every time the subject comes up for consideration, though the solution remains involved in apparently impene? trable obscurity. Honest sympathy, and, so far as possible, the co-operation of all right-thinking people in authority here, seems to be going out towards tho oppressed victims of misrule, not only in South Carolina, but other sections of the South. The Senate passed a bill amendatory of the Act to provido for internal reve? nue to support the Government, to pay interest on tbe public debt, and for other purposes, approved Jane 30, 1864. This bill provides that no legal document or paper required by law to bo stamped, which was made, signed or issued iu tho Southern States prior to the 1st of Jnly, 1865, shall be deemed or held as invalid and of no affect by reason of the failure to impose thereon the required stamps. Conover, of Flo? rida, introduced a bill for the rohof of James Atkins, late Collector of Interual Revenne for the Fourth District of Georgia. Iu the Hoaso, among tho Executivo communications was one regarding Mrs. Mira Clark Games' claims to public lands. Legislative appropriations oc? cupied the balance of tho day. Probabilities?For the Middle States and lower lake region, increasing North-1 east to South-east winds, cloudy wea? ther, and over the former section raia. For the South AtlaDtio States, oloudy and rainy weather, with fresh and brisk winds, mostly from the South-oast to North-east, and ovr tho former section rain. For the Gulf States, winds shift? ing to North and West, clearing wea? ther and rising temperature. For Ten? nessee, and tho Ohio Valley, partly oloudy weather, and over the Eastern portion of this area probably light rain. The Mississippi River from Cairo down, will continue slowly rising, aud the Ohio falling. Selm a, April 24.?-There has been an immense rain fall in the past two days.

Twenty seven barrels of oil aud a large lot of whalebone were received at Newbern a few days since, from Morehead City, being the product of a whalo captured on the coast some days since. United States District Court.? This court commenced. at 10 o'clock A. M., Judge Bryan presiding. The peti? tion of Elijah Landlord, in bankruptcy, was referred to Registrar Clawson for adjudication. The petition *f F. C. and L, A. Beokman. for fees in the oaae of L. H. Massey, bankrupt, was refer? red to Begistrar Clawson to report.

The petition of John L?tgen, creditor, in tho case of Whittemore & Rhodes, for involuntary bankruptcy, was continued to iirat of June nest. The case of James P. Low, John P. Southern and George W. Williams, assignees of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, against tho Atlantio and Rich? mond Air-Line Railroad Company, oc oipied the court during tho day, and arguments were made by D. T. Corhiu, Esq., for tho plaiutiffs, uud W.E. Eirlo, Esq., and Gen. James Simons for de? fendants. A verdict was reudered for the pluiutiffs for the sum of 83,250. A Fatal Woman Duel in Spain.?It is related that two girls in tho tobacco fuctory at Madrid receutly killed each other in a hand to hand contest. The mode adopted by the combatants was as romantic as it was barbarous. Tbc antagonists, who were both about twenty years of age, and remarkably handsome, repaired, on Sunday morn? ing, accompanied by certaiu of their comrades, to a village some four or Qve miles distunt, wheru they breakfasted sumptuously at different tables. Tho repast ended, they closed the window curtains, stripped themselves to tho waist, and requested their friends to leave the room. Then, at a giveu sigual, they attacked each other with their navujas and slashed aud thrust until both fell to tho floor mortally wouudod, When a few minutes hud elapsed their frieuds re-eutered the room. Estefania, ouo of tho combat? ants, had received ten wounds, from which she bled to detlh in about half nn hour. Castldu, Ler antagouist, died aon.o.vhat sooner ium a ghastly wound iu ber neck. War ?A school boy fight occurred ou Wednesday lust, bctweeu two .small boys, one tho sou of Mrs. Brouunu, u widow lady, the other a youug son of Dr. Neagle, tho County Treasurer. Be yuud tho loss of a few hairs aud the rumbling of their shirt collars, it ap? pears no injury was sustained by either boy. Not satisfied with the result, the doutor called ou tho widow in refereucc to the matter, accompauied by a friend aud a double-barreled shot-gun. At tho sight of tho weapon, the lady faiuted, ber daughter Bcreamed, nud ail hands became embarrassed. Tho guu didn't go oil*, but the parties did. The sceue can be more easily imagined than de? scribed. School-boys will have their little battles, and the less parents mis in them the better, particularly with shot? guns. ? Un ion-Herald. Tho cause of cremation appears to b'e rapidly gaining gronud iu Germauy. The merits of the new system of dis posiug of dead bodies nro shortly to bo tested by praotical experiment iu Saso uy, the two principal towns of which, Dresden uud Leipzig, havo offered to legalize it, as au optional course, pup posing its advocates cau practically make, good their assertions iu its favor. A furuaeo for cremutiou is now actually iuprocessof construction by Friedrich Siemens, #i civil cugiueer. Its cost is estimated at 5,000 marks, or ?1,250, and it is calculated that tho complete combustion of a human corpse will take about un hour. The notorious Jaraes Brothers have murdered another detective iu Missouri. Their last victim's name is net known. His corpse was found ou Friday, at Elk born, Ray Couuty, Mo. Ou the coat of the dead man was piuned a blood crossed oard, on which was inscribed: "This shall bo the futo of all dutcotives who come to hunt tho James Brothers." (Signed) "Jesse James," "Frank James." A handkerchief found iu the murdered turn's pocket was marked "P. R. Cole." 'I hey h-ive u judge iu Florida who was arrosted aud put iuto the calaboose for druukouuess. While iu confine? ment, he eudcavorod to issue a writ of habeas corpus, requiring the Sheriff of Manatee Couuty to seize his body aud briug it beforo himsolf, iu order that ho might iuquiro iuto tho legality of said confinement. It was a brilliant idea, but it wouldn't work. A comploto and entiru chauge has taken placo this year iu tho political complexion of the towns iu New York. Compared with 1373, the result is as follows: 1373, Republican majority of towus, 72; 1871, Democratic msjority of towns, 92; Democratic gain over 1373, 101. This looks eucourugiug for tho future.
