THE STATE SUPREME COURT.
THE NIORA BONS QUESTION - ARGUMENTS OF
MH8SRS. 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.

valoro the Bourbons or to inaugurate a republic,
Senor Zorilla replied that the restoration of

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

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

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.

this season, and some frost. Planting
has been back ward in consequence, and
the gard?es very much injured. We now
have mild, warm weather, with little prospect
nf any more cold or frost. There has been very
little rain this month, and the ground needs a
sprinkle very much. With a good start now,
ind favorable weather, the crop prospects wilt
not be much lessened by the lateness of the
season."
An indignation meeting was held at Tim
monsville, on the 11th inst, on account of the
marriage om the previous day. by H, D. Gook,
(white) Of Jim GOUT (black as tho seo of
spades) to Bet Hancock (white.) Rev. John
li. Timmons.was called to the chair, and Jas.
N. Garner requested to act as secretary. The
chairman explained the object of the meeting
to be to give expression on a recent marriage
_f a negro to a white woman by * white magis?
trate of this place. The meeting was address?
ed by Dr. Byrd, Captain Johnson and others,
?ll strongly opposing the above marriage. After?
wards the following resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That we look upon the marriage of
Bet Hancock (white) to Jim Goer (black) as
contrary to the laws of God and civil society,
md we take this method to express our indig?
nation not only in this case but ni all like caaes,1
md will ase oar best efforts to prevent such a
?isgraceful occurrence in this community
igalb. Resolved, Thal wo ceuaure the magis?
trate (wbitef who married them, and return
thanks to Stephen Gefct (colored) for refacing
to marry the above party.
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

-A report was lately circulated in London

-A well known Washington beau, rejoicing
is every one supposed in the undimmed lustre
>f natural chevelure, has been biought to grief
jy the refusal of the Episcopal Bishop of New
Fersey to lay confirming hands on his aristo?
cratie oaput. 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. What a calamity
or the beau i At one blow he loses his repu?
tation and his lady love
-The London papers are highly pleased
with Mr. Motley's appointment to the English
nission. 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."

that I announce to my friends and patrons that cir?
cumstances beyond my control compelled me to dis?
continuo my business at the old stand of N. M. PoR
TXB A Co., No. 236 Sing-street. Io making this
announcement I beg to tender my alncero 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, Impaired my credit to such
an extent that it was difficult to keep up a supply of
goods without paying exorbitant prices, and I waa
fast losing my health, business and friends. lu this
extremity I appealed to Messrs WM. S. CORWIN A
CO., and the liberality which so characterizes that
firm was at once extended to ma, and I am now en?
abled to offer hotter Inducements. -Their extensive
capital and experience permits them to offer a finer
class of goods at about the prices I had to pay, par?
ticularly in Teas, Champagnes, Clarets, Brandies,
kc The com?an od efforts of myself and fermer
partner, Mr. JAMES S. MARTIN, will be to please
you, and we respectfully solicit a continuance ot
your patronage; and we pledge ourselves to give our
personal and prompt attention ? to such. Again
thanking you for past favors and indulgencie*. I re?
