THE NEGRO BOND QUESTION - AROUMENTS OF MESSRS. M'OOWAN AND WH.YLEY. [SPECIAL TELE QRAM TO THE NEWS J COLUMBIA, April 22.-IQ the Supreme Court to-day the case of Margaret M. Calhoun, et al, ads. Floride Calhoun, involving the validity of bonds given in payment for the purchase of negroes, was resumad. General S. McGowan concluded his powerful epeech against the validity of the bonds. He was followed by Mr. Whaley, whose argu ment on the same side was unanimously pro? nounced by the judges, and members of the bar present, one of the ablest speeches yet made on this question. It was listened to with intense interest. Mr. Whaley took the bold ground that the present Constitution of I South Carolina, when adopted by Congress, be? came an act of Congress to all intents and pur? poses^ and that there is no liw of the land whicjo, Toroids Congress to pass a law violating the obligatio.) of contracts, though such power is denied to the several States of the Union. He. reviewed the , history of the proceedings and acts of Congress and of the State-Convention of 1868, annulling all contracts where.the consideration was for the purchase of slaves, and coatendfd that the act of the Legislature forbidding such oases to be entered on ibo dockets of the courts of the State was in conformity with the acts ot Congress, on the subject and with the State Constitution ol' 18G8. Thc jurisdiction of this court was, therefoie, limited to a general jurisdiction, as the Supreme Couic of tho la*9d, to see that the organic hiw of the land is carried out and enforced. He contended that tbS question, "What is the constitution of a State?" was a political question, not one for judicial determination, and rested with Congress, which ?as bound to see whether the constitution established a republiaan form of government. Messrs. Noble and Thompson will be heard on the opposite side tomorrow, and General McGowan will close in reply. The arguments in the case have been phonogriphically report? ed, and will, it is said, bo published in full. EUROPE. 9 THE ENGLISH PRESS ON THE CUBAN QUESTION. LONDON, April 22?-In commenting on the Cuba question, the Telegraph says: "Eng? land is unbiassed, but English inters ts are best served by Spain's retaining ber authority over Cuba. It would not bo England's dnty to interfere against tho independence of Cuba, but her good offices might be useful in avert? ing a quarrel between the United States and . Spain.*1 The seizure of the Mary Powell ia designated as a mad not implicating England, Spain's best friend, in her quarrel with the United States. Tho Telegraph also argue? ihat the Cubans can never willingly attach them? selves to the American rule. The Owl says that Grant ha9 run mad on Cuba. It thinks England and France will tight if tho United Si ates should attempt to wrest Cuba from Spain. Grant longs tor a foreign War, and the prevailing feeling; a nong Amerl- ' can offljftals is one of hatred toward England, 1 and irW less degree toward France, the Owl J adds that a yacht leaves in a day or two for ' Cuba, to ascertain the exact position of affairs, ' and deolares the belief that a heavy storm is ' brewing. A REDUCTION Ol' THE FRENCH ?XPOET TAX ON BRANDIES FOR AMERICA URGED. PARIS, April 20.- Io the Corps L?gislatif yes? terday a discussion arose concerning tho duty on brandies exported to the Uniteo States.

SPANISH FINANCES-PROPOSITION TO ABOLI?H THE SALT AND TOBACCO MONOPOLIES. MADRID, April 20.-Signor Figuerola, Minis? ter ^Finance, presented the annual budget to the Constituent Cor^s yesterday afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Aprl 22.-The Senate have postponed the Ban Juan treaty. Captain Henry A. Wise, formerly Chief of the Naval Ordnance Bureau, died yesterday at Naples. The nominations to-day were only a half do? zen. None of them Southerners. Messrs. Young, Bamsdoli and Show, of the Ne^f^ork Tribune, Washington Bureau, have lefnsed to divulge the source of their informa? tion regarding the Perry-Hale correspondence as involving a breach of faith and calculated to injure them in their business. The Senate commi tee allowed the correspondents to do part. Admiral Davis reports that the allies refused to allow & bearer ol dispatches to our Para? guayan Minister, McMahon, to pass their lines. The President withdrew the nomination of James B. Townsend aa Marshal of North Mis? sissippi. The Senate has confirmed Dumas as Consu! General for Liberia.

The Merrimac, at Concord, was higher tuan since 1832. The Senate will doubtless romain in session all night, ?nicas the adjourning resolution is reconsidered. There waa a big fight to-day over Sanford for Spain; tho nomination waa finally tabled by twenty to thirty. This leaves tbreo nominations for first-class missions in abeyance. fcln the Senate to-day, Spraguo, in rop lying to tfae, who made a personal explanation, and Abbot,of Narth Caroltnx who defended Gene? ral Burnside, said he hal expected to be ridi? culed and pronounced drunk and crazy, but there was a multitude behind him equilly in? toxicated, equally crazy.

RANK REBLLLIOK.-The State Journal, tho Radical organ in Richmond, Va., reports the following startling occurrence : The Flag Bissed in a Bichmond Theatre. An accident occurred last night at the Rich? mond Theatre, during the performance of the "Forty Thieves," which proves beyond perad? venture of a doubt that tbe people of Rich? mond are " thoroughly reconstructed and Americanized.'' One of" the actors, during a medley son? made np of nursery rhymes, and odds and ends, happened to sing, when it came to bi3 torn, " Ibe Star-spangled Banner, long may it wave." Ere be had completed the line, there were hisses from different parts of the house; whereupon Bishop caught np the refrain from his brother actor and added, .'O'er Afric'8 burning sands." which was received with the most deafening applause from all parts of the bouse, long con tinned and enthusiastic. It waa encortdf aed the same eoene re-enacted. A number of rmy officers present (all honor to them) loft the house, to manifest their indignation at this insult offered to their country's flag. The few "hisses"' offered would not have amounted to anything; but when the ribald jest, at the expense of the dag, received such a tremen? dous outburst of exultant delight, there waa no mistaking the true sentiment of tho vast majority of the house. Had the officers, who ti their honor left the the theatre, any objections to the Star-span? gled Banner waving ' O'er Alric's burning sands ?" SAMBO EN THE NEW YORK HOTELS.-A New York letter Bays : It seems that our hotel keepers pay not tho slightest regard to the Civil Rights bill. There is not a single hotel iii New York, except, per? haps, a miserable den in some obscure qu .ter, where a man and bi other would be alloted to eat and sleep. Some weeks ano the editor of the Anti-Slavery Standard applied by letter to the leading hotels for accommodation for'*a Massachusetts lady of wealth, intelligence and culture, and hereon, a gentlemanly young mon of liberal education, both slightly colored," and received auawers which ho punishes in the Tribune. These answers are worth quo: mg. as showing tine position of leading New "Cork hotels on the social equality question : St. Nicholas. "Never had such an application before. The partios had botter make a per? sonal application." Metropolitan. "Very sorry, butconld not pos 'Bibly do so. Would lose ali our guests, most likely, tf we did." Astor House. ' Impossible." Fifth Avenue. "Will give an answer another time.1' Hoflman Hons-?. "Will sond an answer." Everett House. "Proprietor in Massachu? setts. Will sond an answer when he returns on Saturday." St. James! Sont letter declining. Brevoort House. Sent ljtter decliuing. Westminster. "Not posssibio. Would have everv guest leuvo if we did." Clarendon. 'Tmpon3iblo to make any prom? ises, as we are very full about this time. Be? sides our cuesta aro generally such os stay with us somo time every year, and nut like at otbor hotels, come and go irregularly." Mr. Sumner ought to put thoae into his scrap-book at once. -Tho wealth of Wall-street must be vastly overrated, or ehe the bankers and brokers do? ing business therein aud thereabout think it no sin to perjure themselves in making out their tax returns. Ia a ?isl of over two hun? dred and fifty houses who mada returns last year, onlv about f?f y ccnfe-ia to a c^pral of over $50 OOO, aud ouly one half of this number pay tax on a caf ital ot over $100,000. Duncan. Sherman & Co. como up lo tho captan.office like men. and pay tax on a capital of $600,000 much larger tbau that of any other houao re? ported. It is to Oe presumed, therefore, they are tho sirougost concern in th it line in New York. . _ -Mr. Edwin Booth i.as CLgftged Mr. Joseph Jtffjrsoa to p.'ay seven weeks ht his theatre, beginning early in August.

Chandler's Speech in tho Senate on i Alabama Claims-V Loud Bray at 1 British Lion-"Canada or Fight" I New Watchword. IQ the United Siates Senate, on Monday, S ator Chandler, of Michigan, offersd a rear, tion that President Grant swap off the Ala ma claims for tho whole of tho British No American Provinces, and that ho be dir cet CL open negotiations on that basis. In sup pori thia patent plan tho senator made a wild, Ic harangue, of which the key-note was Can: or fight. Incidentally he had read ail his 1 mer mouthinga on the bloody British qu tion, with which he has emptied tho Sen and filled the Globe during all the years sit 1861. His resolution reads as follows : Resolved, That in the judgment of -the S< ate, the trite solution ol' all controversies 1 tween Great Britain and tho United States v be f jund in a surrender of all the British Pc sosL'ions in North America to the people of t United States, and that the President be and hereby requested to open negotiations aa so as practicable for a rcttlement of all mal tera dispute upon that basis. SPEECH OF SENATOR CHANDLER. Mr. Chandler, in his Bpeecb in support of ti resolution, said that he thought it was time \ should say precisely what we mean. There w' no occasion longer to delay the declaration. Tl senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner) tl other day mado a speech, from winch the i junction of secrecy had been removed, ar which had now become public, showing our r lations with Great Britain. He congratulate the S?cate aiytthe country upon the advanc which tho senator from Massachusetts ha made upon this question. Seven years ago, i the year 1862, ho (Mr. Chandler) had had oca sion many times to allude to this very subjei before the people of his own State and ot of it, and^o assert tbat every depredation o American citizens ought and should bo paid ft by the government of Great Britain. In 186 before General Sherman had reached tho sci and before tho capture of Savannah, ho r flore a certain resolution in this chamber, which wo loaf. He had read at the time a dispatch fror the newspapers, dated Toronto, December 1! 1864, that thc St. Albans' raiders had been dis ^barged for want of a jurisdiction. The Cant dian authorities made up their minds to prc tect these raiders, who, under the patronag of Jeff. Davis, carno within our borders to burn to murder and destroy, and then return to tb British provinces. Alarm prevailed along tb frontier, and in his own city (Detroit) marv c the citizens for a long time slept on their arms In view of all the facta then elaborately state J and which Mr. Chandler nov,- read from tb Congressional Globe, he offered a proambli setting forth that raids had been organized it Canada and Nova Scotia, newly enlisted tn tbi British provinces by persons claiming to bole commissions from the rebel government ol tin south.for the purpose of robbing and murderra: peaceable citizens, burning cities and villages piratically capturing and burning riorchant't v?asela, and plundering unarmed citizens o: the United States: and further, that the people of the British provinces seem disposed to pro lect those Uri ti sh thieves; and this preamble was followed by a resolution that tho Commit? tee on Military Affairs inquire into the expe? diency of immediately onlisting an army corps to watch and dei end our shores from all hos? tile demonstrations. Ho at that timo askod thc conaidoration of thc resolution, but Mr. Reverdy Johnson objected. In a subsequent speech ho explained what ho meant, namely, tbat theubaso of the rebellion was in thu Cana? das. A steamboat was seized at tho mouth of the Detroit River, within twelvo miles of the city, and oven a piano taken out of it. These pirates .vere from and protected by tho Cana? das. Tho poop.'o of Detroit lay on their arras clay and pigUt to protect (ho eitizons from np prell eu Ut U: tOBUntntm w IBO - nwufmiw ?tm murderers and incendiaries. No punishment was even it.flicted upon any of those criminals by tho Canadian Governsiobt. That govern? ment, however, did pay for tho robbery of tho Bank of St. Albans, but ibero was uo apology, no compromiso; no friendly act to wipo out ibo greatest outrages ever perpetrated. Ho then offered another preamble, act ting forth tbe agency of the British Government and of prom? inent subjects of that country in aiding the re? bellion, and concluding with a resolution that the Secretary of State be instructed immediate? ly to make out a list of even-ship and cargo destroyed by rebel pirates at a fair valuation, with a rate of interost of six per cont, from the time of capture to tho date of the presentation of tho claim, and demand payment from tho Britiah Government in full for all ships and cargoes thus destroyed. He moved that the proposition be referred to tho Committee on Commerce. The president pro tom. said that it required unanimous consent, and having asked whether there was any objection, Mr. Reverdy Johnson said he objected. Mr. Chandler said that before offering thia resolu? tion he had an interview with General Grant, who waa at thu time at tho front, and said to him. "We have six hundred ships of war in commission, armed and provisioned, and ready for action, with 51 OOO sailors, and never before now so well prepared to demand compensation or reparation from England at the eau n o n'a mouth." Ho asked General Grant if thc aspect of war should rise in the East, how long it would take him to capture Savannah, charleston and Wil? mington ? General Grant replied that it was better at that time the rebels should furnish the garrisons because there was no further use for thc nt vv. He said he could capture these forts in thirty days. At that time five or six hundred armed 'ships could be concentra? ted at any given point on the Atlantic coast. Mr. Chandler could not make thia etatement when he offered the resolution. He meant bu? siness when he did so. Ho meant that the claims against Great Britain should bc prompt? ly paid in full, and if not paid, the worst for Groat Britain. The resolution was afterwards referred to the Committee on Foreign Rela? tion s, and 8.ept the sleep that kuows no wa? king. He supposed that tho chairman of that committee had the resolution in his pocket. He thought the Committoe on Foreign Rela? tions, aa well as the country, had made pro? gress np to his time, lhat was m tho summer of 1864.- All remembered that General Grant, in the spnug of 1865, had advanced with his armv into Virginia, when tho rebel? lion collapsed, and this Uft our army and navy free to act, but the time to demand compensation at tho cannon's mouth had passed. On the 15th of January, 1866, he followed up thia subject with another resolu? tion. He offered it aa a peace niiuaure. He de aired Great Britain to repudiate tho acts of her piratical subjects. If Great Britain should decide that the torch should settle the questions at issue.be was willing lo a ce pt that mode of settlement. The ?esolution was referred to tho Committee ou Foreign Relations, which mado no report; but aa the Secretaiy of State did press the business contemplated by the resolution, and formally made a demand on Great Britain, he (Mr. Chandler) inferred that the Committee on Foieign Relations nad re? ceived assurances from the Secretary of State that no further legislative action was required at that time, and the chairman of the commit? tee assured him that such was the case. The bill had been offered and refused, and further negotiations declined. Great Britain had even repudiated our claims, and insolently .nformod our government that fi rtber negotiation waa offensive to her. Ho rend from ollicial documenta to show thia fact, and that uo good could follow frum the prolongation ot ihe controversy. In this he agreed wit Ii tho .british Minister. Noa? we were informed that no part of iho'uegotiatiou is open; that negotiation ia closed. At that timo he said that Great Britain should pay thc bill ol dam? ages, otherwise we should hav. non-mtcr coor8e with her. and with thia visw he offered a preamble coucluding with a r?solution that the Presidout bo requested io withdraw our LU i ?.uter at the Court ot St. James, aud tu issue a proclamation of non-intercourse, to take effect immediately after the proclamation shall be issuid. Mr. Dixon (of Connecticut; obiecled to tho cons'deration of the resolution, and so it was laid over, lt waa his (Mr. Cuaud lerV) imures-ion thcu and was now, that if this resolution bud been passed unanimously, tho Alabama and other similar claims would have be Jil paid .vi hin thirty dins irom its passage. Every resolution he had offered had been in the interest ot peace. Subsequently he offered a resolution that the Committee ou Foreign Affairs bo directed to inquire into tho expediency of repealing our proscut neu? trality laws. I'ho obj c iou of Mr. Cow? an earned it over. So his neutrality icsolutioii waa killeo by a single objection. If wo had repealed our neutrality laws, tho sot would liuvohad a o jnservativo i ?laei.c..: upon Groat Britain. Every th tig luwng failed in tbe way of peaceful propositions, in Novem? ber, 1867, he offered a resolution declaring our del ermi nation to maintain strict neutrality between Great Britain and Abyssinia, guaran? teeing to tbe flags of both belligerents equal privileges on land and water. This resolution was an exact copy of the declaration of Great Britain proclaimed on the 14th of May, 1861, simply changing the names of the countries to this resolution. Objection was interposed by Mr. Sumner, who thought it were better the resolution should lie on the table. It was laid on the table, bnt a few days afterwards called up. At the iequest of Mr. Chandler, the clerk read tbe remarks ho made on that occasion, in tho course ot which he said he was for giving G eat Britain a dose of ber owi; medicine, and not a homoeopathic one. He repeated, every one of the proposition* to which he had ad? verted was in tbs interest ot peace, and the resolution which he had offered to-day afforded the only peaceful solution ol our difficulties. Why should we agree on negotiation? We have had" treaty after treaty, and rejected them. This leads to irritation. He uttered the same sentiments he did now twoyears and a half ago. He would havj required a mortgage fir the amount due ; tbe mortgage was recorded, and the security good. He believed we bad now put this matter on a proper basis. If Great Bi i tai a should meet us in a friendly spirit, ack : owl edge her wrong, and cede all her interest in tbe Canadas in settlement of these claims, wo have perpetual peace with Great BritaiD; but if abe does not, we must conquer peace. We can? not afford to have an enemy's base eo near to us. It is a national necessity that we should tia/e the British Possessions. He hoped such a negotiation would be opened, and that it will be a peaceful one ; but if it should not be, md England insists on war, then let the war be short, sharp, and decisive. If war should :ome, ho would say now that the sixty thousand reteran soldiers of Michigan would take tbe jontract to capture tbo Canadas in thirty days without a man or gun from any other State. But there will be no war. Great Britain loes not desiro war with ns. When j ur ministers abroad proclaimed this govern? ment overthrown, because they were nearly all n tho interest of scession, it was wonderful .bat it was thought so abroad. France thought ibat it was a good time to establish an empire )n this continent; Great Britain also sought to nako up an empire from tbe late United State? jlreat Britain and France wero in accord witb .he rebellion. If the United States had been jvcrthrown tbe empire woull have been es ablished; bat the United States were notover ;hrown, and thorefore the rebellion was not est? ablished. Wbon the Emperor Napoleon was nformed that tho occupation of Mexico would ead to war with over one million of men, he withdrew his army fr.-.m Mexico. He had itaked the cause of tho empire on the success >f the rebellion. Great . Bri a in staked her em? pire on the sea. She knew the rebellion must inccecd, or she must abandon tho continent. !n conclusion Mr. Chandler expressed the hope hat the resolution would be passed. Mr. Sumner moved that the resolution bc re erf ;d to the Committee on Foreign Relations, md it-was so referred. AFFAIRS jy TUE STATE. t Laurens.

We now have mil I, warm woather, with little prospect 3f any more cold or frost. There has been very little rain this month, and the ground needs a sprinklo very much. With a good start now, ?nd favorable weather, the crop prospects will not be much lessened by the lateness of the season."

THE RAILEOAD TO GOUUDIN'S.- WO have been loudly permitted to examino a letter written by MV. Geoigo W.

This letter contains cncour.igh g statements in regard to the character of co :u try and probable cost ot grading said road from this point to Gourdin's. That part ol tho country, he says, is "so level thnt it would scarcely matter where the road was localed. With thc exception ot a li'tle grading ah mt tho Town of Manning, and tho trcsiliug of ibe two swamps .-ear there, (which I do not think would require more than haifa mile toguth r.) the mero clearing, grubbing aod ditching the road-red, woulu bc needed to receivo thu cros. ties and iron.

It seems the bishop discovered, in Bomo way or other, that the brilliant beau was not altogether a work of nature, and par? ticularly the hair on his hoad, which was found to bo a gorgeous wig. According to tho rules of the episcopal unuron a bishop cannot lay his hands on an artificial headpiece. It must bo all natural "thc capillary substance," or ho cannot rightfully perform the confirma? tion. The worst part ot tho story is that the aforesaid boau waa engaged to bs married to a young and beautiful lady, who, inconsequence of the Episcopal voto on wigs, now refuses to become tho wedded bride.

The Times says: "His reputation as a distinguished man of letters, no leas than his diplomatic position, will insure bim a hearty welcome in this cenntry; nor is there any type of minister whom we would receive more gladly than tbo historian and the scholar. Mr. Motley, however, would be the first to admit that in him we must recognize one who has decided opinions on tho matters in dispute be? tween us and the Americans. Whatever may bo bia social or his historical prepossession, be is, as far aa actual politics are concerned, a thorough repr?sentative of the Northern Re? publicanism. Wo may expect to find in Mr. Motley an earnest andnnoomproming support? er of the opinions which aro said to be domi? nant among his countrymen." "Few Ameri? cans are so well known," says the Daily News, "and none has warmer personal* friends among our literary mou." The Telegraph dees not assume to express any opinion regarding Mr. Motley's diplomatic abilities; "but, during his lenure-of-office, Americana will assuredly have no cause to complain that their c rontry ia not represented worthily. To high character, dis? tinguished manners, and large experience of foreign lands, Mr. Motley adds a literary repu? tation of tho first order." ??-HOW OFIEN DO JfOU HEAR THE complaint from mother and father that their eon or daughter is not well ; that thoy have no appetite; that they feel languid; that their head aches; that they aro growing thin and feeble and thatthey have no life cr energy left?

In making this announcement I beg to tender my sincero thanks for their liberal patronage and support, and trust that in my new position they will extend the same liberality. My limited capital, together with losses of the past three years, impaijea my credit to euch an extent that it was difficult to keep up a supply of goods without paying exorbitant prices, and I was fast losing ruy health, business and friends. Io this extremity I appealed to Messrs. WM S. CORWIN k CO., and the liberality which so characterize? that firm was at once extended to nu, and I am now en? abled to offer better Inducements. Tbeir extensive capital and experience permits them to offe r a finer class of goods at about tho prices I had to pay, par? ticularly in Teas, Champagnes, Clarets, Brandies, kc The combined t-flor'a of myself and former partner, Mr. JAMES S. MARTIN, will bo to please you, and wo respectfully solicit a continuance ot your patronage; and we pledge ourselves to give oar personal and prompt atteniion to such.
