It is now believed that the opinion of Chief Jnstico Moses will also bein favor of the claimants. It is understood that Gorernor Scott, upon full consideration, has determined to issue the bonds for the redemption of the notes of thc Bank of the State. Before the Legislature passed thc law, they had the opinions ot somo of the best logal minds of the State as lo its" liability, and subsequently a resolution to post? pone their issuo was laid on the table. The Attorney-General having given an elaborate opinion as to th6 duty of the Governor in tho premises, ho feels compelled to carry out the views of the law-making power, and tho bonds will be accordingly issued. There was no quorum in the Senate to-day, and that body adjourned until to-morrow, at 12 M.

Whipper, as chairman of the Judiciary Com? mittee, acknowledged the reception of a copy of tho 13th volume of Richardson's Equity Reports, and said that Mr. Richardson's ser Tices as State Reporter have acquired for him an enviable reputation, not evea limited by the continont on which we live. W. B. Mixon, member elect from Barnwell, whose disabilities had been removed by Con? gress, was qualified and took his seat.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF PEACE --DETAILS OF THE CONFERENCE BETWEEN CLARENDON AND BUR? LINGAME. LONDON, January 5.-A writer in the London Times sa} s that the year ends with a more precarious peace than tho world ever saw. Noticing the growth of democracy in France, he says that the Emperor must check the masses, or abandon personal government. At the late conference between Lord Claren? don and Mr. Burlingame, at which the agree? ment was made, which has been already tele? graphed, Lord Clarendon, in reviewing his former conversations, fully acknowledged the propriety and justice of the several points which Mr. Burlingame had advanced in refer? ence to the policy which he deemed desirable that England should pursue. Mr. Burlingame held that tho objects of thc present mission showed cvidcut signs of pro? gress, and by no means evinced a retrograde disposition on the part of the Chinese Govern? ment. Ho also deprecated the practice of Western Powers in DB?ng an unfriendly pres? sure to introduce new systems and new ideas among a people whose knowledge of foreign nations was of recent origin, and who were nurtured under a traditional system to which they wera accustomed, and attacked because such repressive policy would tend to revolu? tion and repress progress, whereas tho Clunese Government fully admitted the necessity of progress and desired to encourage it gradually without a : liddon shock to the feelings, pas? sions or prejudices of the people. Lord Clarendon, in his reply, fully admited that tho Chinese were entitled to forbearance - from-foreign nations, and assured Mr. Burlin? game that England did not desire or intend to apply aDy unfriendly pressure in order to in? duce China to Advance moro rapidly in her in? tercourse with foreign nations than was con? sistent with tho safety and feeb'egs ol' tho Chinese people. The telegraph reports a severe earthquake at Tabreez, in Persia. No loss of life re? ported. THE PATSIE ON I HE CHINESE EMBASSY-NAPOLEON AND SPAIN-IBON CLADS PREFABING FOB SEA MONUMENT TO MAXIMILIAN-THE CONFERENCE. PARIS, January 25.-Hie Chinese ambassa? dors will meet the French Foreign Minister on Wednesday. "The Patric of to-day, in the course of an edi. torial on tho Chinese Embassy, says that China, observing ber international obligation1?, comes to treat with great commercial nations, and expresses belief that in negotiation? of treaties with her, thoso powers will find that additional markets for tho commerce of the world will be developed in new regions, which will bo open? ed to civilization. The Patrie consequently hopes that Burlingame's mission will prove successful. The journals state that at his New Year's re? ception the Emperor told Senor Alazaga, Spanish Envoy, to convey to his government the warmest wishes, both of himself person? ally and of France, for thc happiness and prosperity of Spain. . Dispatches from Paris report that several French iron-clads are preparing for sea. Napoleon has subscribed 5000 trunes for a monument to bc erected to Maximilian at Trieste. Tho conference for tho settlement of the differences hetweeD Turkey and Greece will be composed of the Ambassadors to France from the various Powers of Europe. The siUings will bo held in this cit;, mid bo presided o?aj. by M. Lavellotto, tho new French Foreiffa Secretary. Tho conference will meet in Paris on the 9th of January. It is said that should its deliberations provo abortive, Russia will demand strict non-intervention on tho part of European Powers in the q- .rrel between Greece and Turkey. SPAIN TO HAVE A. KING. MADRID, January 5.-It is behoved thai the Provisional Government contemplates a coup d'etat in favor of p'acing Montpcnsier on the throne as soon as tho citizens of tho province of Malaga aro disarmed, before the Cortes as? semble^.

WASHINGTON, Januarys.-Commodore Slater is dead. Ho was seveuty-foar years of age. In view of the questioned authority of Mr. Johnson's amnesty proclamation, tho following extract from Mr. Lincoln's proclamation, dated December 8th, 18S3, is important : "Whereps, in and by the Constitution of the United States, it is provided that thc President shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against tho United States, ex? cept in cases of impeachment, fte.; and whereas, tho declaration of Congress fur a limited and conditional pardon accords well with the established judicial exposition of the pardoning power," &c. Tho declaration of Congress to which Mr. Lincoln alludes inciden? tally has been repealed, but it is claimed that Mr. Lincoln based his amnesty prorogation ou the constitution. The Election Committee are absent, investi? gating tho Now York election frauds. It is stated that the Freedmen'? Bureau furnished the negro Menard, who claims a seal in Congress as snccsssor to Colonel Mann, transportation to his home in Louisiana. The Militia bill was liigned to-day by Wade and Colfax.

Governor Scott and tnt Bank of the State-What he will do with lt-The Mandamus Case-No general Opinion yet Written-Meeting of the Legisla, tare-Personal ? [MOM OUR 0W-S" CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., January 3/18G9.-Thc ac? tion of tho Governor in regard to thc issue of bonds for all funded bills of the Bank of thc Stato is a matter of much speculation. Some? time ago a tell-tale reporting correspondent of Tax NEWS infurmod its toaders, upon "tho very best authority," that no bonds for the funded bills would bo issued until tho Gover? nor obtained possession of tho assots ot tho Bank of the State. Siuco then, somebody, whether intcrcstol or disinterested, deponent wyeth not, has seen thc Governor, and it is now reported again upon "the very best au? thority" that tho Governor will sign and will issuo thc bonds, assets or no assets. The same reporter also informs us that his Excellency is not altogether clear upon tho mandatory nature of tho law, but if it should be found that he has no discre? tionary powers, there is then no alternativo but a compliance, olso he may render himself hallo to thc charge oi opposition ts tho law making power. If the Legislature has put its foot into ihe bog and made an unconstitu tional law, thc Governor is not amenable, So tV case stands. It is intimated that an opinion has been asked of the Attorney-Gene? ral, and that it is ah cady in preparation. Another matter of speculation is the Charles ton mandamus case. Everybody and his wife appear to profess to know what is going to be tho verdict of the judges, making it, of.course according to the inclination of the speaker. Tour readers may rest assured, howover. that no general opinion of the court as yet has boen written. Each of the Justices on Tuosday will submit his separate opinion in writing, and a majority of the court give tho decision. The Legislature reassembles at twelve M Tuesday, and will, it is believed, remain in ses sion till tho latter part of Febraary or first of March, when no doubt Lhere will bs a general clearing out for Washington to witness the in? auguration ceremonies of the new President Amoug others in town is our old friend and venerable fellow-citizen, Colonel Jeremiah D. Yates, whoso long gray locks and flowing beard give him a very patriarchal appearance. The Colonel was a member cf our Stato Legislaturo in nullification times, and has all tho fire of tho old Roman in him still. On his arrival here ho was enthusiastically greetod by his numerous friends and relatives, and borne on the shoulders of some of thc former from the carriage to tho hotel. He is on his way to Charleston, and brings tho glad news of quite a number of old Charlestonians having deter mined to return and spend their last days at their old home.
