WASHINGTON, January 14.-Associate Justice Field to-day delivered the opinion of tho United States Supreme Court in tho Missouri Test Oath case of John. A. Cummins, a Roman catholic Priest, who was indicted for preaching and teach? ing without taking the oath prescribed by the Con? stitution of that State. Being plaintiff in error, tho court decided tho Test Oath m thia case to be unconstitutional, being in the nature of a punish? ment without triai, and in its character ex post facto, and as a bill of attainder, the judgment of tho court below is reversed, with the cfirec tiona that the plaintiff shall depart without delay. As? sociate Justice Field also delivered an opinion of the court in the ex parte cases of Garland and Marr, who, having taken a part in the late re? bellion, asked to oe admitted to practice. Tho court held that, as the State imposes a punish? ment which may not bavo boon imposable at the time tho offence was committed, it is, in its na? ture, ah ex post facto law. Attorneys are not offi? cers of the United States; they are officers of ?he c?i a :d hold their offices during good behav&r. Tat court is not the register of the edicts of any other power. The applicants have received ? pardon from tho President, which relieves them from the consequences of their offence, and makes the citizen, in the eye of the law, what he was be? fore the offence was committed. Congress cannot limit the prerogative of mercy, and cannot fetter it by legislative restriction. It follows that the prayers J: toe petitioners must be granted, and also tbe prayer of Mr. Mair/ Tho rule which re? quires attorneys to take tho Test Oath must be re? scinded, and' the order is made accordingly. As? sociate Justice Miller, for himself, Chief Justico Chase, and Associates Swayne and Davis, read a dissenting opinion. ^ .-? Earthquake In Oregon.

To tte Editors of the Baily News : GENTLEMEN: Your paper of the 5th has just met my notice, and while I have no word of de fenco for tho Tax Bill, which is tho subject of your strictures, I do ask to be permitted to say a very fow words which may satisfy your citizens that th? Charleston Delegation were not oblivious of the interests of their constituents. I was in Columbia during the late session of the Legislature, and in the House on each dav that che Tax Bili was under consideration; and objec? tionable as the Bill in its present form may be re? garded by the people, had it not been amended by motions of the Charleston Delegation, it would have been received with much louder complaints. These amendments very materially modified the Bill, and were adopted by tho House On the se? cond reading in the Senate most of tho amend wqits were stricken out, and the Bill restored al ruoWto its original form;.(he Hous? refused its as? sent, and tho But as passed is the resuit-;-first, of a committee of conference, in which the Committoe sustained each Us own House-and second, of a coramitteeo of free conference, which reported at near twelve o'clock at night, whon it was evident that the session must either bo prolonged or the Bill be lost, and tho operations of Government cease. Hence its most objectionable features. This is unquestionably duo to the late period of the session at which tho Committee of Wave and Heans iutroducedthe two most important bills-tho Appropriation and Tax Bills-anet this may be ob? viated if the Legislature can limit tho time" during which bills requiring appropriations may be in? troduced. The Committoe of Ways and. Means will then be enabled to approximate*the amount of revenue required, and report tho Tax Bill earlier n the session, when it can receive the careful in? vestigation which its importance demands. And fara also inclined to the opinion that a preliminary lisenssion parly in tho session would authorita itvely settle thc principles.which should control :ho Committee of Ways and Means in tho imposi ion of taxes, and materially obviate the difficul ;ies of the present routene! I throw out those suggestions for the consideration of. members, vhoae' position and exp?rience cuable thom to di .cct the course of legislation. Yours, with groat respect, T. The New Orleans Riot. A special telegram from Washington, January ?, to tho New Orleans Crescent, says: Tho Radicals hero Bay the report of the New Weans riot comjiiitteo will not be presented to Jongrcss for some three weeks. No reliance, bow? yer, is placed in this assertion, aud it is generally ' lelieved that tho committee will endeavor to send ? t beforo the opening of tho discussion on Thad, j Sevens' territorializing bill, for the purpose of laking capital in its favor. A number of eliamo- r pl facts connected with the investigation have ( cen ascertained from reliablo sources. Il is i \iOwn, for instance, that, without hjcluding tho f ?me similarly occupied in Washington, the com- T littce devotod five days and a half to the hearing ? f Radical partizan testimony, and only two days t ud a half to tnc taking of evidenco by which that light have been exposed ancTrefuted. c Qm te ?n?ugb is Known, in short, to??how that j opinions of the Radical members of thc com- j littee were made up on tho question tttcv were i ppointcd to investigate, oven beforo they left washington. The treatment of the authorities and others of ie citizens who offered testimony to tho com ?tteo, is learned tovhavo boen outrageous. - hey positively refused to admit the evidence hi?fe jva3_o^n^with_ro3Dect.to -mostimnoctiuit The i. stimonv of Gov. Wells, on tho other hand, as pdmittod after the committeo had announced ie '?.losuro of the investigation. The evidenco is said to cover seven hundred rintcd pages. . An able minority report, it is Baid, will be pre mtod to CongresB. A MILD SAECASM.-In a sharp article on the Inglish and French armies, tho London Review otes a point in which the English surpass the 'renell-the number of useless half-pay mon. It bsorv^fe: "There is an anomaly in the English army of "hich tho French cannot boast, and that is tho argo flock of well dressed, gentlemanly, middlc ged men who are to be mot everywhere in this ountrv. and who belong to the half-pay or 'unat achod' list of field officers. It is not too much to av that of bale, hearty gentlemen in tho irimo of life, who . hold tho rank of colonel it major, but who have done no dutyfor years, and nt?nd to do none for a very much longer timo f possible, we have almost enough to oflioer a econd army. Of this article of luxury our noigh iors know nothing. They have but two classes of ifficers-those on active service, and those who, laving served, are drawing their well-earned pon-, ions. Of what use a plain-clothes body of mon, vho ought to bo doing hard work in tho colonies, ian bo lo tho nation at large the French have no dea whatever; and we confess to sharing their gnorance as to the value of these half-pay worthies. The Review writer has forgotten one excellent >urpose which thia army of unemployed oflicers erve. They figure largely in tho modem Eng ish novel. No well regulated romance is complote rithont its half-pay Colonel or Major. Dismiss hem, and what would the army of novelists do ? SOUTHEEN TRADE WITH BALTIMORE.-Thc Balti? more Sun says that "tho trado between Baltimore and the Southern States during tho past year by water has been of a gratifying character. With regular lines of steamships to New Orleans, Savan? nah, Charleston, Richmond, Norfolk, &c, our city has come in for her full sharo of tho trade. The rccoipts of cotton during tho year were 28,683 bales. Of tobacco the receipts were 31,701 pack? ages. 2919 hogsheads, 50(1 boxes, and 263 cases, principally from Richmond, Petersburg, and other Virginia ports. The receipts of wool were 2834. bags."_^_ Two ceremonials of great interest recently took place in Paris. At the Hotel des Invalides tho veterans and pensioners assembled in the chapel, around the rcmaiae of NAPOLEON I., twenty-six years having elapsed since they were brought back from St. Heleua, by the order of Louis PHILLIPTE. On the same day, at tho Chapel of tho Sorbonno, thc few remains there are left of Cardinal RICHE? LIEU were returned to tho splendid mausoloum in which tiiev were laid over two centuries ago, and from which they were taken by tho mob during the Revolution. The restoration of tho bones to their resting place was witnessed by tho celebri? ties of France amid great pomp. WILKES BOOTH.-The Vicksburg (Miss.) Times,vi i ftor giving a rumor, which ran the rounds of thej^ ress, to the effect that J. WILKES BOOTH was ' eally in the land of the living, makcB tho follow ag remarks: The above, with many other statements bearingJJ ipon their faces equally strong evidence that John jp Vilkes Booth was net killed, nave boen going the') ounds of the press, and, without any desire to dd another sensation paragraph to tho already jug list on thia subject, we make tho following tatement: There is a gcntloman residing within a day^i ravel'of Vicksburg (a personal friend of oneiif he editors o? thia paper) who, if he has not shaved da moustache very recently, bears a remarkable .esemblanco to tho local photographs of Booth; ,nd long after tho reported death of this actor, his man was arrested in Louisville, Ky., for Booth, did was compelled to undergo a strict oxauiina ion, and establish his identity, beforo In was re oased. The question is a very pertinent one: Why wer o letectives in search of tho man who killed Mr. jincoln long after that man was reported dead? INTEREST ON VTBOINXA STATE BONDS-A PA? THETIC LETTER FROM ENGLAND.-lu tho Virginia ?ouBe of Delegates, on Friday, the following lct or, communicated by tho Governor, was referred o the Committee of Finance: LONDON, England, December 8,1SCC. Zb the Members of the L?gislature of the Slate of Virginia, Richmond: GENTLEMEN: I am a holder of $1800 bonds of thc State of Virginia, issuod prifr to thc war. The ion-pavment of tho intorcst due upon them has litherto caused to mo, who am in private circum itanccs, vory ruinous inconvenience. I have al? ways felt tho greatest coufidonco in tho good faith )f tho Virginians, and doubtod not that as soon as [hewar was over Virginia would be foremost among the Southern States in re-establishing and up? holding her credit. I sincerely trust that carly in January, 1867, tho Atlantic Telegraph will bring the most grateful intelligence that the bonds of tho Stato will be at onco converted, and tho interoat flue July 1,1867, punctually paid. Otherwise sore disappointment and distress will bo felt by many, and among others especially by myself. Yours, most respectfully, EDWARD FAIRBRASS. Our New York Letter. [FBOM OUB SPECIAL COBBESPONDENT.] NEW YOBK January ll_In my last lotter I threatened to inflict upon your readers a detailed description of tho grand skating and fancy dress carnival announced to take place on the next night at Major OATMAN'S Park. True to my promise, or my Ihrea4-, I duly took my stand in ono of the un? comfortably ci-nvded Sixth Avenue cars, in compa? ny with a party of ladies and gentlemen, a portion of them Ch aries tonians and tho rest from Sumter, 8. C. After jolting about most unpleasantly in the densely packed car, during a ride of nearly threo miles, we got out at the corner of Fifty ninth street and found ourselves at tho scene of action. On entering tho large enclosure we stand on a highly elevated eminence and look down upon the scene below. Tho young moon shines brightly, and hundreds of lanterns of the variagatcd hues of the bow of promise lend their aid to the flcklo goddesB of the night to light up the sceno, whilst Bengal fires of different colors shine here and there with a lurid glare, as the light, reflected by the smooth surface of tho frozen lake, playB fantas? tically on the bed of polished ivory and bespangles it with diamonds. So far as tho fancy dress por? tion of the programme was concerned, it was a partial failure, owing to tho circumstance that tho man who hires out costumes was not on hand as had been promised; nevertheless, we noted among the skaters here and there an Irish Light Dragoon, a Benedictine Monk, a pretty little Red Riding Hood, a- tall lank hvo Yankee, scores Of gentlemen with wax noses and some with masks. The skating, itself was a magnificent sight. As our party descended tho deep flight of stairs,, and noted the graceful evo? lutions of the skaters, we hastened to get upon tho ice itself, whore we could see them more to advantage, seated ou one of tho many benches that are placed around the sides of the pond. It is - really almost beyond the power of language to convey to one who has not witnessed such sport an adequate idea of tho beauty of the scene. Some of the best skaters in this city wero present; one lady in particular, who is famous as ono of the victors in the great .skating matches that took place on the Central Park Lake last year. To see a beautiful and graceful woman dance is one of the most pleasing sights in nature; but it is impossi? ble to imagine how thoroughly graceful a woman can be whoo, with swan-like movement, she glides along the smooth surface of the ico. The younp lady I have .mentioned was the observed of all ob? servers, and yet there were scores of skaters, both malo and female, who were almost equally expert. Now they go round and round in a circle, now spin around on ono foot, now twirl about in every conceivable and inconceivable manner-the yoong lady always surrounded by the largest crjwd of admirers, wben lo ! sho shoots off liko a tiny sil? ver arrow shot from a magic bow, aud with tho speed of a startled fawn glides across tho pond and is lost to view in tho crowd till we seo her again near at hand, and she fiiee past us with the swiftness of tho wind and once again is lost in the crowd. It was a sight well worth witnessing, and I noted with satisfaction that it was enjoyed by about twenty Charlostonians, for I counted that tvumbor on tho ice, conspicuous arnon? whom was jolly old Sam Bringloo, tho pilot of the good old Quaker City, Bleating like an old hand at the busi? ness. # v . There was quite a lively time yesterday among our respected City Fathers, which came near ter iniuatiug in a general fight. At a meeting of tho Board of Councilmen there was a general row be? tween tho Democratic and Republican mombors, jr rather the warmest kind of debate, that threatened to lead to a hand-to-hand engagement; ndocd thc first shot was actually fired by Mr. Long, who complimented tho President by hurling in ink stand at his hoad, at thc some tune accus ,ug him of carrying a pistol in direct violation of .he law. This was tho first and last shot, how iver; and, though the meeting broke- uo in most idmirod disorder, no regular engagement took )lace. Benjamin Bothel Beast Butlor has throe civil lotions against him in Court for his uncivil cou luct in leaving New Orleans without settling up lis debts. Yesterday theso actions were trans erred from tho Supremo Court boro to the 8u iremc Court of tho United States, or rather a notion was mado to that effect^-which will proba >ly bo granted. The war between tho liquor dealers and tho Ex iise Law has begun in good earnost. At a meeting ?eld last night the liquor men passed resolutions u favor of empL^ing counsel to reproscnt them j ?oforo tho Legislature, and prove to that august t ?ody that it is not right, nor just, nor towft?, to .r?vent a citizen of this glorious land of freedom b rom imbibing spirituous liquors ad libitum. Each no of tho brewers, distillers and venders of the 'cnomy," will subscribe five dollars in aid of tho ood cause. Meanwhile liquor and. beer will bo li^Jrfu^wt?w?tol??-itwV drun*5 Tho human? and charitable ladies and gentle aen who, a year ago, conceived tho idea of estab ishing a homo for poor fallon and abandoned fe? r?alos, aro gratified by finding that in tho very irst year they have met with lair sucoeaa. In his '.'Homo of tho Tempted," the poor friendless allen young girl is received kindly, whgn all the est of mankind abandons her in her shame. Here he re?oives religious instruction, is furnished rith work, is well clad and comfortably supported, md every inducement to reform is offered. In tho last year hundreds of these young women have loen reclaimed from tho paths of evil, and many if them havo beon rostered to their friends, purer I n heart, poor creatures^ than when they wer? first 1 ? empted, aud, being tempted, foll.

MOULTRIE. State Items. CAPTDBE OF A HOBSE THIEF. -Last Wednesday light a horse belonging to Mr. Josoph Newman, of Columbia, was stolen from a stable near the Char otto Railroad depot. A dispatch having been re? lived at this placo announcing tho theft, publica :ion was mado of the same, resulting in the iapiure of ono Riley, with some aliases appended, >vho savsho escaped from tho guard house in Edgofiold; and hails from Utica, New York. Mr. fohn Taylor, who lives about aoven milos below aere, happened to bavo one of tho hand bills ssuod from this office describing the horso, when ;he said Rilov-rode up and offered the stolen horse ;o him for eighty dollars.

TUE UNIVEBSITY.-In cons?quence mainly, wo presume, of tho insufferably bad weather, the stu? dents havo not como into the University aa prompt? ly as they otherwiso would have done.

RENTS AND REAL ESTATE IN CINO?NATI.-The Cincinnati Gazette says that rents iii that city re? main very high. Houses that before ihe war rent? ed for $8* and $10 per month, cannot now bo had for loss than $25 aud $35. A single room, which could then have beeu had for $3 and $4 por month, cannot now bo touched for loss than $10 and $15, and sometimes even $20 per month. At prcs"nt, a common house, containing six or seven rooms, in a central location, will command from $50 to $75 per month. It adds : "Tenements ol' all kinds wcro never so scarce in Cincinnati as they ure at present, and there scorns to us a fine opening for energetic capitalists to take hold of tho matter and orcct smali cottages for the accommodation of the working class. With tho high rates now obtained, it certainly seems that mon would bc justified in risldng their capi? tel. ^'Thc vainc set upon real estate is unquestiona? bly very exorbitant. If a man bas two or three applicants for a certain piece of property, he at once advances his views, while if thore is only one Eurchaser, iL can bo obtainod for a more roasona le figure. Wo give ono instanco to provo the ad? vance which bas takon place. In 1864 a piece of property on Fourth stroet, b tween Yine and Race streete/was sold for tho handsome sum of $80,000. lu April last it changed hands for tho sum of $120.000, and a short time since $105,000 was offered and refused for tho same, the owner hav? ing, since tho oller, erected a fine building upon it. Specidation, at present, governs tho prico of all real estate." A Wisconsin official, who had arrested a couple of rascals, was riding with his prisoners when a prairie chicken made its appearance, and tho officer d wow his revolver anet fired two or three shots at it. One of the prisoners suggested that he could do bettor, and the revolver was handed over to him.
