M'GOWAN AND WHALES. |8PECIAI> TELEGRAM TO THE NKWB ] COLUMBIA, April 22.-In the Nupietno Court to-day the case of Margaret M. Calhoun, ot al, ads. Floride Calhoun, Involving tho validity of bonds given in payment for the parchase of negroes, was resumed. General S. McGowan concluded his powerful ?peech against the validity of tho bonds. He was followed by Mr. Whaley, whose argu? ment on the uaroo side was unanimously pro? nounced by the judges, and members of the bar present, one of tho ablest speeohes yet made on this question. It was listened to with intenso interest. Mr. Whaley took the bold ground that the present Constitution of South Carolina, when adopted by Congroes, be? came an act of Congress to all intents and pur? poses, and that there is no 1 iw of the land i which forbids Congress to pass a law i violating the obligation ot contracts, though auch power is denied to the several States of the Union. He reviewed the history of the proceedings and aots of Congress and of the State Convention of 1868, annulling all contracts where the consideration was for tbe purchase of slaves,' and contended that the act of the Legislature forbidding such cases to be entered on the dockets of the courts of the State was in conformity with the acts c * gross on the subject and with the State .itution of 1888. Tho jurisdiction of this cou. . was, therefore, limited to a general jurisdiction, as the Supreme Court of the land, to see that the organic law of the land is carried oat and enforced. He contended that tbe question, "What is tbe constitution of a State?" was a political question, not one for judicial determination, and rested with Congress, which was bound to see whether the constitution established a republican form of government. Messrs. Noble and Thompson will be heard on the opposite side to-morrow, and General McGowan will close in reply. The arguments in the case have been phonographically report? ed, and will, it is said, be published in fall. EUROPE. THE ENGLISH PRESS OM THE CUBAN QUESTION. LONDON, April 22.-In commenting on the Cuba question, the Telegraph says : "Eng? land is unbiassed, but English interests are best served by Spain's retaining ber authority over Cuba. It would not be England's duty to interfere against the independence of ?uba, but her. good ornees might be useful in avert? ing a quarrel between the United States and Spain.1' The seizuro of the Mary Powell is designated as a mad aot implicating England, Spain's best friend, in her quarrel with'the United States. _ The Telegraph also argues that the Cabans can never willingly' attach them? selves to the American rule. The Owl says that Grant has run mad on Cuba. It thinks England and France will fight if tho United States should attempt to wrest Cuba from Spain. Grant longs for a foreign war, and the prevailing feeling a nong Ameri ' can officiais is one of hatred toward England, and in a less degree toward France. The Owl adds that a yacht leaves in a day or two for Cuba, to ascertain the exact position of affairs, and declares the belief that a heavy storm is brewing. A ll EDUCTION OF THE FBENCH EXPORT TAX ON BRANDIES FOB AMERICA URGED. PARIS, April 20.- In the Corps L?gislatif yes? terday a discussion arose concerning the duty on brandies exported to the Un i tea States.

RANK REBELLION.-The State Journal, the Radical organ in Richmond, Va., reports the ollowing startling occurrence : The Flag Hissed in a Bichmond Theatre. in accident occurred lost night at the Bich aond Theatre, during the performance or the 'Forty Thieves," whioh proves beyond perad rentare of a doubt that Ibo people of Rioh nond are " thoroughly reconstructed and kmericanized." One of the actors, during a nedley song made up of nursery rhymes, and ?dds and ends, happened to sing, when it came o fais turn, " The Star-spangled Banner, long may it wave." Ere he had completed the line, there were lisses from different parts of the house; thereupon Bishop oaught up the refrain from tis brother actor and added, .'O'er Afrlc's barning sands," (hieb was received with the most deafening pplanse from all parts of the house, long oon fnued and enthusiastic. It was encored, and he same scene re-enacted. A number ol ?ny officers present (all honor to them) left he house, to manifest their indignation at his insult offered to their country's flag. The ow "hisses" offered would not have amounted o anything; but when the ribald jest, at the ixpense of the flag, received such a tr emen? t?os outburst of exultant delight, there waa io mistaking the true sentiment of the vast uajority of the house. Had the officers, who ti their honor left the he theatre, any objections to the Star-span? ned Banner waving "O'er Afric's burning ands?" SAMBO ra THE NEWYOBK HOTELS.-A New fork letter says : It seems that our hotel keepers pay not the lightest regard to the Civil Rights bill. There i not a single hotel in Mew York, except, per taps, a miserable den in some obscure quarter, rhere a man and brother would be allowed to at and sleep. Some weeks ago the editor of he Anti-Slavery Standard applied by letter to he leading hotels 'for accommodation for "a lassacbusetts lady of wealth, intelligence and ?ul ture, and her son, a gentlemanly young man if liberal education, both slightly oolored," .nd received answers whioh he publishes in the tribune. These answers are worth quoting, u showing the position of leading New York lotels on the sooial equality question : St. Nicholas. "Never had suoh eu application ?efore. The parties had better make a per lonal application." Metropolitan. ' 'Very sorry, but could not poe ibly do so. Would lose all our guests, most ikely, if we did." vu? t tnu*.^., Astor House. ''Impossible." Fifth Avenue. "Will give an answer another Imo." ,, Hoffman Honso. "Will send an answer." Everett House. "Proprietor, in Massaohu etta. Will send an answer when he returns ?1 Saturday.'' St. James, Sent letter dooling, Brevoort House. Sent letter declining. Westminster. "Not poeasible. Would have very guest leave if we did." Clarendon. "Impossible to make any promi? ses, as we are very full about this time. Be? ides our guests are generally suoh aa stay ri th us some time every year, and not like at it her hotels, come and go irregularly." Mr. Sumner ought to put tboso into bis crap-book at once. -The wealth of Wall-street must be vastly serrated, or else the bankers and brokers do? ng business therein and thereabout think it io sin to perjure themselves in making ont heir tax returns. In a list of ever two hun Ired and fifty houses who made returns last rear, only about fifty confess to a capital ot ivor $50,000, and only ene half of tbis number ?lay tax on a capital ot over $100,000. Duncan, sherman & Co. come up to the captain's office ike men, and pay tax on a capital of $600,000 much larger than that of any other house re? ported. It is to be presacaou, therefore, they are the strongest concern in th it Hue In New York. - s ?? mm n ? _ - -Mr. Edwin Booth bas engaged Mr. Joseph Jefferson to play- seven weeks in hie theatre, beginning early in August. The terms are ?aid to be five hundred dollars a night, and half the gross receipts at the mitinees, after a deduction of a hundred and fifty dollars. TITI: wAit czozrn. Chandler'* Speech In the Senate on the Alabama Claims-.\ Loud Brav at the British Lion-"Canada, or Kflght" the New Watchword. Ia tho United BUtee Bona to, on Monday, Sen? ator Chandler, of Michigan, offer ad a resolu? tion that President Grant swap off the Alaba? ma claims for the whole of the British North American Provinces, and that he be directed to open negotiations on that basis. In support of this patent plan the senator made a wild, loud harangue, of which the key-noto was Canada or tight. Incidentally he had read all his for? mer mouthings on the bloody British ques? tion, with which he has emptied tho Senate and filled the Globe during all the years since 1801. His x co ol u lion reads as follows : Resolved, That in the judgment of the Sen? ate, the true solution of all controversies be? tween Great Britain and tho United ?tates will bo found in a surrender of all the British Pos? sessions in North America to tho people of the United States, and that the President oe and is hereby requested to open negotiations as soon as practicable for a settlement of all matters in dispute upon that basis. SPEBOH OF SENATOR CHANDLER. Mr. Chandler, in his speech in support of the resolution, said that he thought it was time we should say precisely what we mean. There was no occasion longer to delay the declaration. The senator from Massachusetts ( Mr. Sumner) the other day made a speech, from whioh the in? junction of secrecy had been removed, and whioh had now become public, showing our re? lations with Great Britain. Be congratulated the Senate and the country upon the advance whioh the senator from Massachusetts had made upon this question. Seven years ago, in tho year 1862, ho (Mr. Chandler) had had occa? sion many times to allude to this very subject before the people of bis own State and out of it, and to assert tbat every depredation on American citizens ought and should be paid for by the government of Croat Britain. Ia 1864, before General Sherman had reached the sea, and before the capture of Savannah, he effered a certain resolution in this chamber, which was lost. He had read at the time a dispatch from the newspapers, dated Toronto, December 13, 1864, that the St. Albans' raiders had been dis? charged for want of a jurisdiction. The Cana? dian authorities made up their minds to pro? tect these raiders, who, under the patronage of Jeff. Davis, came within our borders to burn, to murder and destroy, and then return to the British provinces. Alarm prevailed along the frontier, and in his own city (Detroit) many of the oitizens for a long time slept on their arms. In view of all the facts then elaborately stated, and which Mr. Chandler now read from tbe Congressional Globe, he offered a preamble setting forth that raids had been organized io Canada and Nova Scotia, newly enlisted in the British provinces by persons claiming to bold commissions from tue rebel ero vern mon t ot the south,for the purpose of robbing and murdering peaceable citizens, burning cities aud villages, piratically capturing and burning merchant's vessels, and plundering unarmed citizens of tho United States; and further, that the people of the British provinces seem disposed to pro (oct those British thieves; and this preamble was followed by a resolution that the Commit? tee on Military Affairs inquire into the expo diepoy of immediately enlisting an army corps to watch and defend our shores from all hos? tile demonstrations. He at that time asked the consideration of the resolution, but Mr. Beverdy Johnson objected. In a subsequent speech he explained what be meant, namely, tbat the baso of the rebellion was in the Cana? das. A steamboat was seized at the mouth of the Detroit River, within twelve miles of the city, and even a piano taken out of it. These S?rates .vero from and protected by too Cana as. The poanjo of Detroit lay ott their arms day and nighYto protect the citizens from ap? prehended incursions of the marauders and murderers and incendiaries. No punishment was even inflicted upon any of those criminals by the Canadian Government. That govern? ment, however, did pay for the robbery of the Bank of St. Albans, but there was no apology, no compromise; no friendly act to wipe out I be greatest outrages ever perpetrated. He then effered another preamble, setting 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 Sr to make out a list of every ship and cargo es troy ed by rebel pirates at a fair valuation, with a rate of interest of six per cent, from the time of capture to the date of the presentation of the claim, and demand payment from the British Government in full for all ships and cargosa thu? destroyed. He moved that the proposition be referred to the Committee on Commerce. The president pro tem. said that it required unanimous consent, and having asked whether there was any objection, Mr. Reverdy Johnson said be objected. Mr. Chandler said that before offering this resolu? tion he had an interview with General Grant, who was at that time at the front, and said to him, "We have six hundred ships of war in commission, armed and provisioned, and ready for action, with 64,000 sailors, and never before now so well prepared to demand compensation or reparation from England at the cannon's mouth." He asked General Grant if the 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 the navy. He said he eould 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 this statement when he offered the resolution. He meant bu? siness when he did so. He meant that the claims against Great Britain should be prompt? ly paid in full, and if not paid, the worst for Great Britain. The resolution was afterwards referred to the Committee on Foreign Rela? tions, and slept the sleep that knows no wa? king. He supposed that the chairman of that committee had the resolution iii his pocket. He thought the Committee on Foreign Rela? tions, as well as the country, had made pro? gress up to his time. That was tn the summer of 1804. All remembered that General Grant, in the spring of 1866, had advanced with his army into virginia, when the r?bel? lion collapsed, and this left our army and oavy free to act, bnt the time to demand compensation at the cannon's mouth Lad passed. On the loth of January, I860, he followed up this subject with another resolu? tion. He effered it as a peace measure. He de? sired Great Britain to repudiate the acts of her piratical subj octa. If Great Britain shonld decide that the torch should settle the questions at issue, he was willing to accept that mode of settlement. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, which made no report; bnt as the Secretary of State did press7 the business contemplated by the resolution, and formally made a demand on Great Britain, he (Mr. Chandler) inferred that the Committee on Foreign Relations had re? ceived assurances from the Secretary of State that no further Jogiolorvivo action was required st 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 bad even repudiated our claim?, and insolently informed our government that ftrtber negotiation was offensive to her; He read from official documente to show this tact, and that no good could follow from the prolongation of the controversy. In this he agreed with the british Minister. Now we were Informed that no part of the negotiation is open; tbat negotiation is closed. At that time he said that Great Britain should pay the bill of dam* ages, otherwise TO &oM hav* aon-taw DO arse with her, and with this view he offered a preamble concluding with * a resolution thal the President be requested to withdraw om minister at the Court of St. Jamies, and tc issue a proclamation of non-interoourse, tc take effect immediately after the proclamatior shall be issued. Mr. Dixon (of connecticut; objected to the consideration of the resolution and so it was laid over. lt was his (Mr. Chaud 1er'?) impression then and waa now, that i thia resolution bad been passed unanimously Se Alabama and other similar claim? wonk .ve bean paid within thirty days from it passage. Every resolution ho had offered h ac been in the ?. forest of peace. Subsequently kv offered ? resolution that the Committee oi Foreign Affairs be directed to inquire into th expediency of repealing our present nee trality law?. Tire objection of Mr. Con an carried it over, flo bis neutralit recela tion waa killed by a single object i OE If we had repealed our neutrality lawi tho act would have had a conservativo fnflaenc upon Great Britein. Everything having fane in the way ot pence fui propositions, in Novem? ber, 1867, he offered a resolution deming our determination to maintain strict neutrality between Great Britain and Abyssinia, guarm toeing to tbo flags of both beiligerc-ria 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 tho countries to this resolution. Objection was interposed by Mr. Sumner, who thought it were netter the resolution ?hould lie on the table, tt WSG laid on the table, but a few days afterwards called up. At the request of Mr. Chandler, the clerk read the remarks he made on that occasion, in the course of which he said he was wt giving G eat Britain a dose ot ber owi. medicino, and not a homeopathic one. He repeated, every ono of the proposition? to which ho had ad? verted was in tba interest ot peace, and the resolution which he had offered to-day afforded the only peaceful solution of our difficulties. Why should we agree on negotiation? We have had treaty arter treaty, and rejected them. This leads to irritation. He uttered the same sentiments he did now two years and a half ago. Ho would hav3 required a mortgage fir the amount due ; the mortgage was recorded, and the security good. He believed we ban now put this matter on a proper basis. If Groat Biitain should meet us in a friendly spirit, acknowl? edge ber wrong, and cede all her interest in the Ca?adas in settlement of these claims, we have perpetual peace with Great Britain: but if she does not, wo must conquer peace. We can? not afford to bare an enemy'** base BO near to us. It is a national necessity that we should ha /c the British Possessions. He hop xl such a negotiation would be opened, and that it will be a peaceful one ; but if it should not be, and England insists on war, then let the war be short, sharp, and decisivo. If war should oome, he would say now that the sixty thousand veteran soldiers of Michigan' would take the contract to capture tho Canadas in thirty days without a man or gun from any other State. But there will be no war. Groat Britain does not desire war with us. When our ministers abroad proclaimed this govern? ment overthrown, because they were nearly all in the interest of soession, it was wonderful that it was thought so abroad. Franco thought that it was a good time to establish an empire on this continent; Great Britain also sought to moke up an em piro from tho late United States. Great Britain and France were in acoord with the rebellion. If the United States ftad been overthrown the empire wooli have been es? tablished; but the United States were not over? thrown, and therefore the rebellion was not es? tablished. When the Emperor Napoleon was informed that the occupation of Mexico would lead to war with over one million of men, he withdrew his army from Mexico. He had staked the cause of the empire on the success of the rebellion. Great Bri<ain staked her em? pire on the sea. She knew the rebellion must succeed, or she must abandon the continent. In conclusion Mr. Chandler expressed tue hope that the resolution would be passed. Mr. Sumner moved that the resolution be re? ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and it was BO referred. A.

TBS RAILROAD To GOUBDIN'S.- WO have been Irindiv permitted, to. examine, a. letter written by Mr. George W. Earle, the accomplished nngineor-in-chief ot the survey made, previous lo the war, of the proposed Sooth Carolina Central. This letter' contains encouraging sutemente in regard to the character of coun? try and probable cost ot grading said road from this point to Gourd in's. That port ot the ?ountry, hs says, ts Msd level that it weald scarcely matter whare the road wac located. With the exception ot a little grading about tile Town of Monning, and the treacling of the two swamps near there, (which I do not think would require more than half a mile together,) the mere dearing, grabbing and ditching the road-red, would hs needed to receive the cross ties and Iron. I should net think the grading ought to cost more than $1000 per mile, on on average." lt has been further estimated that tho forty miles from this point tc Gotirdfn*s may bs made ready to receive the iron tor thc som of 4100,000. This is as much, it ia sup? posed, as thc people would be required to dc. The iron, lt is supposed, would coat about $385.000, to raise which, it is intimated, the W orthoaateru Railroad would endorse the bonds Cf the new company.-Sumter Wattman.

It seems the bishop discovered, n some way or other, that the brilliant bean vas not altogether a work of nature, and par? ticularly tho hair on his head, whioh was lound to be a gorgeous wig. According to tho 'ales of the Episcopal Church a bishop cannot ay his hands on an artificial headpiece. It nust be all natural "the capillary substance," >r he cannot rightfully perform the conflrma ion. The worst part of tho story is that the iforesaid beau was engaged to be married to a wong and beautiful lady, who, in consequence >f the Episcopal veto on wigs-, now refuses to lecome the wedded bride.

The Timos says: ''His reputation ts a distinguished man of letters, no less than lia diplomatic position, will insure him a ?earty welcome in this country; nor is there my type of minister whom we would receive nore gladly than the historian and the sobolar. Hr. Motley, however, would be the first to admit mat in him we must recognize'one who has leoided opinions on the mattera in dispute be? tween us and the Americans. Whatever may >e his social or his historical prepossession, he s, as far as actual politics are concerned, a borough representative of the Northern Re? publicanism. We may expect to find in Mr. If otley an earnest and uneomproming support >r of the opinions which are said to be dom i ?ant among his countrymen." "Few Amen? ions are BO well known," says the Daily Mews, 'and none has warmer personal friends among mr literary men." The Telegraph dees not tssnme to express any opinion regarding Mr. Hotley's diplomatic abilities; "but, daring hi? enure-of-office, Americans will assuredly have to cause to complain that their country is not epresented worthily. To high character, dis ingoished manners, and large experience of oreign lands, Mr. Motley adds a literary repu ation of the first order."
