It is reported thc insurgeais lingering in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba have aeain cut tho aqueduct, causing much inconvenience. Official iufoimation has been received that General L'E->ca, strongly reinforced, is pushing his way into tho interior from La Guannja. The insurgents were stationed in force oa the load near Magarabomba. lt was expected the troops would soon attack them. General PueLo has arrived at Cieufuegos with reinforcements. Tho troops will be divid? ed into three detachments: r>no. under Puello, mil go to Santo Espirita; ono, under Letona, to Villa Clara; aud the remaining division, under Paez, will march to Sierra Morci>a Ma? cagua.

C., Mareil 1.-Tho Charleston Election bill was ratified to-day and presented to the Governor toa his approval, lt is moro than probablo that it will ho signed to-morrow. The Governor, it is reported, has declared his determination to see tho law enforced. lu what way ho proposes to do it is not stated. Much speculation is indulged in as to what Mayor Clark will do, his friends still claiming that Pillsbury and his supporters have only suceooded in discovering an ignis fa'uis or "Jack O'Lintern," or in tbo words of ono of tbo members, ""What's tho uso of giving tbe people a b"ll if you don't give them provisions." Ho wanted to see "tho provisions of the bill carried out; tho pcoplo aro starving because tboy don't get provisions." Attorney-General Chamberlain, who has but recently arrived hero from Charleston, leaves this city for Washington to-morrow. Ic ia surmised by many that he ,;oc8 for tbo pur poso of looking after tho patronage of Federal offices to be distributed in South Carolina by tho new administration. It is known that ho carries a very large badgot of letters and ap? plications with rccomin mdations, each docu? ment covering several yards or folios of Iogal cap, &c. All communications to him maybe addressed to Willard's, Washington, D. C. Tue real object ot his visit, howevor, is to at? tend to an prgnment ia tho case of tho Grah ilevillo Manufacturing Company against Benja? min Roper, late tax-collector of EJgofield Dis? trict. Tbo question involves tho liability of tho State to receive bills of tho Bank of tho State at par for taxes. Tho cato stands No. 2G5 on the United States Supreme Court docket at Washington. A motion will bo mado to tako it up in connection with a caso of tho State of T nncsseo ou tho samo question, which staudH No. 1G0 on tho sama docket. It is boliovadtbc argument will bo mado between the Gili and 10i.li of March. A very important case of habeas corpus was heard to-day bol'oro Judge Bioz.-r. Twelvo prisoners tried and convicted by military com? mission during thc cxistcuco of tho military government in this ^tate, and who havo b.-on lately returned from Fort Macon to tho custo? dy or tho civil authority ol' this Stato, and who aro now undergoing sentences of military commissions, w^;o brought beloro Judge Boozer, and a motion made for their uncondi? tional discharge. Tho pnso::ers were rcprcsonted by Messrs. Rice &, Sloan, ol this city, and tho Stato by thc Attorney-General. Tho caso was elaborately argued on bo b sides. Counsel for tho priso? ners contended, substantially, tbat upou the cessation of military role in thc Statu all son teneos imposod by military commissions be. j < carno invalid, and all partas detained in custo- l dy or undergoing somcucea by authority of j military government wera entitled to iln-.ir dis- , charge. They contended that (he proasians t of tho prosont constitution required a present. * mont by a. grand jury and a trial by a petit \ jury, aud tbe sentence of ibo jud. e. Tho pro- i visions not having been obaorvod in the trial 1 and conviction of tboseprisouora, they were eu- * titled to a discharge. i Tho Attorney-General argued that the pro- i visional government, established under ibo s auspices of President Johnson and subso- ( quent ly vested iu the commanding geueialof ? trna military district, dori ved its only force and ? validity fr >ni tbe sanction of ibo authority uf c tho United States Uoverniuont; thal if these < prisoners were entitled to the r discharge.then t all persons undergoing sentence passed under tbo provisional goverument, by a circuit judge ' and other civil officer*, were clearly entitled to c their discharge. Tho power of tho cirouit ? judge, he argued, rested upon the same torin- t dation that tbe powers of tbe military tribunal I did, to wit, up n the authority of tho United c Slates Government, which gave them ali (bo \ right winch either possessed to try criminals ti and impose sentence:-. Tho third section of c tho Reconstruction net of March 2, 18(17. ex- C pro-sly euacted that a commanding tr?nerai, in 1 protecting lifo and property, should allow the r looal civil tribunals to try criminal cases, but a when in bis judgment it boeamo necessary, he .*. should organize nnlita.-y tribnuals for that pur- t poso. In tho case of the pribonora at the bar. c tho commanding general bad decided that ( their cases should bo tried hy a military com- s mission. Tho.-o military commissions wcro i duly organized and proceeded to try and pass t Muteness, and these ?entonces had boon ap- t proved by tho commanding goticial. 'Tho only s power which could now mit?gale or rcliovefrom ? the e sentences was tho Governor, in the exor? cise ot his pardoning power. 1 Tho Attorney-General said ho koo v nothing of thc merna of tho case, and cared nothing i for thc mer.ia, sotaras tins ul guuieut Was eon- c cerned, of thc casca ol' the prisoners at the bar. 1 But ho was anxious tba', no step shou:d be taken which would indicate that the prosint t Stale Gov jriimout. which w >s tho result of Ibo v ltcciinsliuction acta, should now stultify itself f by declaring that tho steps which wcro Ukin t by Congress wiro nugatory, thia would bo, f ho 6aid, tho precise effect-tho logical effect-of c tho discharge of thone prisoners. Judge BJOZ..T delivered a carefully const'd cied opinion, iu which he he d that tho views of i the Atioruey-General ?mrs substantially cor? rect, ile regarded tho suntenco imposed hy a t military tribunal, during thc existence ut ihf t provisional government, aa posse&ains the u same validity as a *entu ce imposed by Judge 1 Moses as a circuit ur provisional judge p.is- t Bossed. He called attention to tho conse quei.ces winch inustfl >w in aJI directions Irom t grouting such a niutiou as was now made in 1 behalf bf these prisoners, It would, ho said, t unsettle all judicial prucoodings uudcr tho pro- i visional government. Ihe judge remarked that tbo issue was not a e new one, but one which he bad carefully con- I sideio.i, ami one ol' which hu lek uot thc least t doubt. Tbo quo-rion oi tho t: institutional i tv t ot thc Reconstruction acts had nut beou raised in loriad, but bo felt Hut grayling ?ho motion 1 now made would be tantamount to, and could i oiiiy b?1 sustained upon thu ground M'at these acts were unconstitutional. Suck a decision i would not otilv release the-e prison, is, but f would uuseat hims If and destroy tbs very i foundations of thu presen! Statu Government, i If tue sullener- of tau military tribunals wiro t Lo? severe, tho Governor had ample power to modify or to extend n full paid n. He could I not t?r a moment think that lhere vujro any t legal grounds upon wiiieb ho. as a judge ut I South Carolina, could to-day interfer?? in any t m ;nucr wi Ul tho soutenue pronounced by imi? tar, tllbuualg. Ho therefore ordered thc pris? oners lo bo remanded. t Aooihcr interesting legal question waa raia- ' ed a tow days since belum Judgo Boozer. A motion was mado for a prutitbilioi to thc Treasurer of tlio State to restia.n bim from v the collection ot taxo-for the fourth quariei of 18?8. under General Canb\ 'a Order No. 13!), v which levies a lax of t.voniv ceuls ou tuc hun- I died dollars upon all sales ot cotluu ?ind ulher | morchmdiso. AIIO C?BJ was arguoJ for the plaintiffs to tho cause by ex-Chaneeifor Carroll, c and for ibo Stain by Mr. Sulieitor i n lev. It was i conteiidod on bell tit of thc plaintiffs that this tax WCB unconstitutional, because it came in conflict with that clauso of tho Constitution of the "-tate which directs that ull laxo- upon I property, real or pe; sonal, shuu d ha assessed c upon its actual value at the time of assess- I me::t. j It was a'Bo urged Ibtt under the act of 1SC8 I ff> quiet nghis vested under military order- t which rc-euaoted Order No. ISi). that tt.is lax i could not bo collected, inasmuch as the act \ was only intonded and in faci onlv did quiet 1 rights o'f property, &c, iu vofcreuce to which t judgments or decrees had nlroady beou made t and ? ntered, and ho ace did not apply to tho j oolleotion of future ta?s under that order; in short, that it only quieted rights wi,icu had become vested at the time of its passaee. It was furthor argued for the plaintiffs that the act itself which is entitled "An act to quiet rights vested under military orders," could not be hold to the extent of enforcement of Order No. 139. because that purpose was not express? ed in the title of thc act, anti even if it were so expressed the act would thou become obnoxious to that clause of the constitution which re? quires that all acts shall relato to but one sub? ject, which was to bo expressed in the titlo of the act. For the State, tho Solicitor contended that tho clauso of Ibo aonstitution requiring all taxes noon property to be laid upon its actual value at tho time of assessment, could not bc hold to apply to tuxes upon sales, because sales were not property, that this tax. therefore, be? came substantially a tax upon incomes, upon thc tccoipts of business, and not upon property. It was also urged in reply t > too second argu? ment of counsol for plaintiffs, that the entire matter embraced iu tho act referred to consti? tuted but ono subject, which was expressed in its title, and that if tho object of the aol hud only been to quiet rights already vested, there could be no motive for re-enacting Order No. 139. In truth, tho object of tho act clearly was to malcc Order No. 139 the tax law of tbc State until such times as anew tax law should bc passed and a new tax actually levied; heneo this tax upon sales was still in forco and would cor, tiuuo so until thc new tax law went into opera- ' tion. Judge Boozer decided that the prohibition should be granted mainly upon tho second ground ttkeii by counsol for plain fifi's, namely, that thc act referred to only extended to quiet rights which had boon or become vested at tho dato of its passage under military orders, de? crees or judgments. Notice of an appeal from this decision was immediately given bv tho solicitor, and a writ of error to the Supremo Court is now in prepa? ration. If this writ :T Hied within fivo days, enccifving the object.it will operate as a su ' rcedoas, and tho treasurer will proceed with tue colictiou of tho tax upon sales of cotton ind other morcbandise as Itoretoforo.

Everything per? taining to those havo gone ou harmoniously thus tor, savo as to the admission of or rel usa. to admit colored person- to tho hall, an 1 us to the immensely imp?t tant questions of prece? dence of position in tbo procession and of con? trol thereof. The littlo me i who want to bo groat, and who pant tor dist mei ?on on this oc? casion, and io come under thc special and ap? proving observation of tho President elect, are, tou,e the catalogue phraso, too numerous to mention. The rival claims for consideration and for this or that position in the line havo given tbe managing committee more trouble than all oil.er matters combined, and tho momentous question is \et undecided. Tho committee, bowevor, have disposed of thc negro admission d.fliculty, and authorize tho announcement that colored persons will not bb present, the high-toned colored popula? tion having too much self-respect to force themselves into society whoro they aro not welcome, and thoso who havo not any self-reB pect will not bc admitted anyuow. Tho comm ttou not desiring to act on more rumor that General Grant will not lido with President Johnson to tbo capitol, and that Mr. John-oii don't care mujb about tbe ride any? how, have made a sort of compromise of tho difficulty by providing places in the procession tor both these distinguished persons. Two rows of carriages aie to move along abreast, the one on tho right sot apart for the President and members of bis Cabiuet, tho other on tho left for the Piosidont elect and bis staff, tho procession to start from Gonerol Grant's head? quarters. Urcat interest is taken in all thoso details, but-thc all-absorbing matter is found in tho lui mat ion ut ti new Cabinet, and there are hun? dreds hero eager to re icvo Co >er.i. Grant of that important l.bir. nur, the President chet will havo none ot Ibo proffered aid, and to? night we stand, so far as relia bl information ou thc Uabii'dt subject is concerned, jii?tabout where wo- did whoa General Grant concluded his acceptauco responso, ?herein he frigidly b astod i lie houcs ol ibu C.b.net makers alrea? dy assembled herc to patriotically assist in forming H IMJW .-ulniiniutiurjon. There is ab-oluiuly nothing positively known about tho matter save to General Grant, who it is said to- light, will aniiuitnco the names ?t thc new Cabitiot on Tuesday uoxt. Even this is mero rumor. A Congres mm called yesterday upon Geno? ral Grant tu Biy tu it in c iao Adm ral Porter should not resign. Ins position in thu navy tu lake the uffieo of Bocretary of tho Navy, ho wished to urge lb . selection of Governor Haw Icy, of i olino'lieut., for that position. Thia was ajsumiiig, of c.mrso. 'hat Admiral Purler h .d tho rel usai of tho office, which is not by auv means a certainty. General Gnni is reported as rcplviDg that Nun England cannot havo muru tbauouu mem? ber of tue Cabinet, and that ono must como from Massachusetts. Thou who is ttio Mas-a chusetis man, was sake j; but deners! Grant was mum. mid to-night lhere ia aa much specu? lation about Ibo iMassacliusotts member as thero has b :en about the Pennsylvania turtu nato individual. The knowing o.ics say posi? tively it wo..'c bo Boulwoll nor Sum uer, S?d thu Pennsylvania mau is in as much doubt as over. General Grant visitod tho Uonso yesterday, retired to a cloak-room n.-id called tot Mr. it nu well, and directly sent alsoi ir Air. Bing? ham. Thc q liduu.'cs were almost craz.d with curiosity tu dud out what it ail meant, and va? rious r?pons arc iu circulation relative to the purpose of thu exiraordin >ry visit, lt tu. us out that certain Southerners, Georgians es? pecially, bad begged General 'Iratit t . adviso ibo members ot tho llcconstrnction Comniittoo to refrain from legislation incendod to exe ludo members who han already boon regularly ad? mitted to their seats, and that General Grant bad received information from Geueral Meado and others us to thc status i f affjira in Geor? gia, which mado it advisable that there should be no turthcr legislation at mistime relative to Goorgia. General Grant also opposes army reductions at present. Tho proposition before Congross would disarrange his plans for io organizing and Tor promotions t mt would follow by reason Of tho promotion ut Sherman. Mr. MoCaunon, a prominent lawyer of Wask ingion County, Pa., arrived bore yesterday and immediately ?ailed to soo Geueral Grant's l'ami y. to whom he is related distantly. Tho town was full uf it, and of . uurse MoCaunon was the coming mau from Pennsylvania. Ile had been seut for specially by General Grant, whose carriage was in waning at thc depot fur thecommg man, into which the latlor jumped and rode hastily off to dram's residcucu. 1 give this aa a apociinonof ibo trivial things on which rumers ure started about the forma? tion ot the new Cabinet. Tho fact appears to be that Mr. McCannun did riot ride in General Grant's carriage; that it was uot in waiting fur him, aud General Grant did not Bend fur hun. Moat ot the Cabinet rumors and accounts of alleged interviews with the President eleot aro gathered up by pcramia who aeck notoriety, and wish tu have themselves advertised. Tue \tw Cabinet. Another corresponden', of the samo paper writes: After all that bas been said upon thc subject, thora is not much liitelihood lhat any one will detiditely know who aro to emu po ie Gonoral Graut's Cabinet until ofter tho inauguration. Ile remarked to-day th it no good general would announce to ina enemies in adva-cc ur a c nu pa ign what officers had been selected to uuinmaud his artnieiy, cavalry und infantry ; that he was aware how d.flij lit lt vvuuln bu for bim to please tbo vario JU cuquea of politicians, who hop d to get their own mon into Cabinet positions, :md that he mid no desire to autag Otnzu nis adminis. ration at the outset with any blanch of ibu ltopublican party. Ho s dd, further, that, although ibo gentlemen whoso ii .nu H ho proposed to soud to Hie Senate might not bo noisy politicians, tiny were good aud tine men, whu siu.id by i lie country during the war. und who had volt d for tho Republican ticket last tail. Tins, he ad <cd, may nut please sum-of my Pennsylvania friends, who aro so hard io please, but I shall nevertheless, do wnat I behove lu bo rig.it. Then; aro some very important rumors on tho streoi lu-mgiil. which seem tu have good foundation. Co rum. r ia tint General Grant will i3.-uo his lirai, m iler as comm uider-in-chiof of the army on Friday next, and that it will be ;i uotice 'o all ihai the Eecoi.slruotion LITS of Congress are to be earned out in good faith "by officers wh sn sympathies aro righi." Au? ntie r minor is that General Sheridan will bc sent bicii to his command at New Orleans, in place ut General buchanan; that General Rey? nold* win go ?gaiu tu Texas to relieve General Dauby; thai. General Sickles will relievo General Meade, uuu that General Gillern will also bc superseded. A Washington dispatch of tho 27th ult., to tho New York Evoniug Pout, says : A delogat.on ol Pciiusy Ivanians visited Gene? ral tirant yesterday evening to a-k him if ho won.d recommend them tu draw upa memorial requus.ing bim to appoint Mr. Mooro, ol Pennsylvania, io n place in thc Cabinet, which BbfeUlu be signed by all cl the delegation. General Grain read thc paper, and said, on Ibo Wiiolu, limy had bettor no. . and au. gemed that most ot tho members had already s gn d a request fur ?mut'.ier mau. Boroo had s g ied For several. L'all those memorials chuula b. ci m; knowu, some of thosu Wno had put thoir names to them might feel themselves m a ridiculous position. Grant said: 1 think a President should bo allowed tu choose his Can.i.ot without inter? f?rence from any ono. They are his confiden? tial advis is, and he must best know whom bc wishes to cad to him in that capacity. In oll.cr positions under tho gow rnment be is likoly io welcome suggestions, i> r t icre arc a great'.nany ol them, ?ind he ctn no. bu ex? pected in oveiy caao to know who mu tho best ([.. . lied mon; but in aelec mg bia Cab not be may properly act without sogKestions from any teen ce. One thing ho would say: 1 hose wiiem bu selected would all bc men who were loyal to ii.a Union during the war, and who gaven strong tiiid fuithiul support to the platform ticket on which ho was elected. They might not prove to bo tho host men in practice, bat be should soon discover the fact, aud be could make chancea at any time in that case. There was no difficulty about that. Iee roon ho had selected would not remain in the Cabinet, bo thought, if it waa not agree? able. He bad originally intended to write, abont a week ago, to each gentleman whom he had fixed upon for a Cabinet position, asking him to serve, but he was glad ho had not done so, and now he would keep the whole matter to himself until the appointments wore sent to the Sonate. That saved much trouble to him and to the gentlemen he meant to ca'l around him; bat hu had already made up his mind. He could send in the whole Cabinet at that moment. Still, be might at any t.mo chango his mind; and. so long as the names were known to.him alone, he could do so without offence to any one. H s incautious utlaranco to tho Pennsylvania politician tho other dav had already given bi.nsolf and others much needless trouble. Some persons seem to take i'for granted that, ho had designated Mr. George H. Stuart for a place. -He had not said any hing of the k.nd. and did not mean to tell ar.y one wheth r be bad or uot, but as per? sons had spoken 'guest Mr. Stuart, be wished to say t i the Pennsylvania gentlemen that Mr. Stuart was a loyal man during the war, and an honorablo man. That did not imply, however, tbat ho (Grant) would or would not appoint him. The delegation then withdrew.' ' . JRartid. BOAT WRIGHT-STROH "CK lilt.-At lt. John's Lut ? eran Church.
