The next payment of coin interest on the debt takes place on May first, when seventy five millions will be due. New Mexico asks admission to thc Union as a State. Colonel Allen Rutherford, a bureau function? ary In North Carolina, ls nominated as third auditor. Senator Sherman to-day opposed thc San .Domingo purchase. Its defeat is now consid? ered certain. Thc railroad lobby was strong to-day. Thc following gentlemen were on the floor of the House to-day, many of them in violation of thc rules : Ex-Governor Fletcher, Gener?is Terry, Craig and Dodge, Colonels Goss and Abell, Messrs. Ames and Coates, and ex-United States Secretary Hoar. CONGRESSIONAL. Nothing important in the Senate. In the House, Pollard mored as a privilege question, that Bailey, from the Third Louisiana District, be seated. Paine objected, as Bailey was before the Elections Committee. Blaine sustained the objection. No action. Nothing from committees. Ia the Senate, Wilson introduced a bill to reduce the number of officers and men in the army, and to fix their pay. The Joint resolution for the disposal of the public lands in Florida, Alabama. Mississippi and Arkansas, under the Homestead laws, was discussed, and the Senate, after an executive session on the San Domingo treaty, adjourned to Monday. The House Judiciary Committee was direct? ed to inquire into the expediency of allowing writs of error in criminal cases to United States courts, and allowing thc defendants to testify in their own behalf. An adverse report has been made upon a bUl to pay for property destroyed at Gaines Mill, in June. 1862. Schenck wiB press a veto on thc Tariff bill on Mondav. lr- -? VIRGINIA. RICHMOND, March 25. Thc House of Representatives to-day passed a resolution authorizing Governor Walker to call on the President for troops to suppress the resistance to law by colored land squatters near Hampton. The injunction case of Chahoon vs. Eilyson is 8tiU hearing by Judge Underwood. Governor Wise speaks for Chahoon to-morrow. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. The Deseret News, commenting on thc pas? sage of the Anti-Mormon bill, is quite despe? rate. It says, "the most valuable experience we possess to-day we gained through persecu? tion." Fifteen hundred Spaniards and many Cubans met in Havana, and passed resolutions protest? ing against the transfer of Cuba to the United States. The City of Baltimore has voted to subscribe a million ot dollars to the Valley Railroad of Virginia. The clipper ship Patriarch made the trip from London to Sydney, Australia, in sixty seven days-the quickest trip on record. THE CAUSE OF CUBA. General Review or tue Military Situa? tion In the Island-Canses, Effects anti Future Cbanccs of Military Move? ments. The Havana correspondent of the New York Times writes under date of March IC : We are at present in a state of comparative uncertainty regarding the probable course of evenvs, or the turn affairs may take. Sympa? thizers with the Cuban cause are quiet, and appear to be satisfied with the news they re? ceive from home and abroad. The Spaniards .onllnue to believe that the revolution is over, and that only Isolated and powerless bands of insurgents remain in the field. GENERAL JORDAN. General Jordan's head-quarters were at Maganboinba last week, and he is now in the Caunao region. Jordan is undoubtedly a very able man. but li' rumor ls to be believed he ls thoroughly disgusted with the so-called civil administration or House of Representa? tives. C?spedes gives no 6ign of life, and cer? tainly has not emown any talent as a military leader. Jordan is hampered in his movements by the orders o? thc President or other executive bodies, that is to say, ll the intercepted corres? pondence of different Cnban leaders give a correct view of the matter. That some of this intercepted correspondence has been of great use to the Spaniards ls abundantly proved by the failure of Jordan's well-contrived and care? fully worked-out plan to prevent the Spanish troops from leaving thc Cinco Villas or advanc? ing from Puerto Principe to the very centre ot the Cuban strongholds. PROSPECTS. Both parties will be compelled to undergo much privation and many SUIT? ; iags before either will be enabled to say that Hie day ls theirs. The idea ol many Spaniards that the revolujOon will be over before May, is simply preposterous. There is no proof to warrant such a foolish Ideu, The war will remain in a state of abeyance from May until November. Spain will be compelled to send about 10,000 or more soldiers to replenish thc losses caused by sickness, bullet, or because thc time of the soldiers has expired. The Cubans must make strenuous efforts to bring arms and ammunition, and if possible some good leaders into the country, and then the rest of the world wiU simply bein the same state of uncertainty as hitherto, and Mlcaw ber-like, will wait lor something to tura up. The insurgents appear to find little difficulty in maintaining themselves nearly all over the island, which thc Spaniards cannot do. There ls an immense difference between a regidar army and bodies of men who have scanned ?.very inch ot the country, are thoroughly ac? climatized and know where to look for some? thing to eat. In some parts of the Camaguez the Cubans have been raising different kinds ol fruits and-vcgetables, and beef being a plen? tiful article, there is little fear of their starving. The whole war is reduced to nothing but a grand hunt, where superior powers of endu? rance and cunning wiB decide. -A bili has passed to its second reading in the Prussian Chambers to prohibit separate I States of the German Confederation from issu? ing bank notes. -Advices from Stuttgart! state that the King's resistance to the proposed reduction of the army has caused the ministers to tender their resignations. -The Messageries Imperiales steamers, with the India, China and Japan mails from France, now pass through thc Suez Canal. EUROPE. Thc Trial of Prince Pierre Bonaparte. TOURS, March 23. Thc nigh Court of Justice opened at ll o'clock. Witnesses were examined to prove that Fouville 6ald Victor Noir slapped the Prince in the face. The lawyers for the prose? cution dwell with effect on some grave con? tradictions in this testimony. A number of policemen testified to thc remarks made by Fouville after his arrest. Thc prosecuting lawyer created a sensation by declaring that thc original report of the police in this case was not to bc found, and only a copy dated ten days later could be produced. One witness swore he heard Fouville exclaim, "If his plstoj had not missed fire he would have shot the Prince." This had a favorable effect on thc spectators, who are evidently beginning to lean to the cause of the Prince. Witnesses for thc prosecution were n ex amined. Arnould testified that Victor Noir had no intention ol" attacking thc accused when he went to his house. Henri Rochciort was called as witness for the prosecution. There was much agitation among the spsctators at the announcement of his nam?. Bochefort entered thc court-room accompanied by two gendarmes, and toole his placo on the witness-stand. He was palo but very calm. Ho replied quietly to ?fcc Interro? gations, and after repeating the contents of thc letter sent to him by thc accused, which occasioned the visit of Noir and Fouville, he retired to the bench reserved for Journalists. Many of thc latter Rhook bands wltb him when he took his seat. The wife of Louis, the brother of Victor Noir, was called to testify. She was much agitated. She said Victor Noir could not have slapped the Prince, because the gloves on his hands wore found to be intact. Other witnesses corroborated the statement of Arnould that Victor Noir did not intend to quarrel with the Prince. Moore, the reporter of the Moniteur, testi? fied t*at the witnesses who now swear to Fou ville's admission that Noir slapped the Prince, did not say so at first. Mr. Milllerc and other witnesses testified to the physical weakness of Victor Noir, and the improbability of his striking the Prince, as the defence alleged. During thc Intermission of thc court many friends of M. Rochefort gathered around him. The gendarmes interfered, and surrounding thc prisoner, kept his friends back. Thc Irish Penal Land Bill. LONDON, March 24. In thc Hor.se of Commons Mr. Gladstone denied, amid much merriment, the reports recently published in Spanish . newspapers and elsewhere, that Mr. Bright had offered to retro? cede the Rock of Gibraltar to Spain. Thc bill for tho enforcement of laws in Ire land was then taken np. Mr. Gladstone closed thc debate. Ho was sorry to say that tho tone of thc discussion might be classified under three heads. 1st. Criticism of tho biil itself. 2d. Criticism of the government; and 3d. Criticism of the motive for introducing the bill. The state of Ireland, so far as ordinary crime was concerned, was satisfactory. Agra? rianism, however, was rampant. Ho took this occasion to deny thc responsibility of much 1 that had been attributed to him. His senti? ments toward Ireland bad been vilely mis? represented. He admitted the injustice of legislating for exceptional cases, but it was wrong longer to withhold thc law of reform. A 6trong sense of its necessity alone prompted thc present mcasnre. Its provisions .were strong, and ho hoped they would bo effectual. If so, evil would soon vanish, and Parliament might resume that beneficial legislation, on which alone it was safe to build permanent hopes for the future. The House then divided, and thc bill was passed as follows: For the bill 425; against 13. The House then adjourned until noon on Monday. Thc Infallibility Question. KOMI:. March 25. It is reasserted that the American Bishops refused to consent to infallibility. Thc Daricn Canal. LONDON, March 25. Thc London Times doubts whether the value of thc Daricn Canal will be equal to the cost. Wrecked. LONDON, March 25. ship Germania, lately from a Haytlcn port from Hamburg, was totally lost ol thc Kentish coast. THE GREAT El GUSH SCAJfD LL. The Upshot of tht: Famous Mordaunt Divorce Case. The London correspondent of the New York Times writes : The comments of thc press on thc Mordaunt divorce case are very curious. Atter publish? ing twenty or thirty columns of the most un? pleasant and unhappy details of this affair, because the whole puolic wauted to know what lords and ladies and princes of thc blood were doing, they turn about and arc shocked and Indignant at such a revelation. A member of Parliament appeals to thc Home Secretary to know if such matters cannot lie hushed up, or privately investigated. Mr. Bruce thinks not. The English love publicity. They will greedily print and read anything, if it has only been re? hearsed In a court of justice. And Mr. Bruce is of opinion that the cause of morality has rather gained than lost by the recent expo? sures. That refers to the sphmdid triumph of the Prince of Wales. As theirial went on, ho was in such bad odor that lie was publicly hissed, for the first time in his life, I think, at the Globe Theatre. Ho watched the opcratiou with great curiosity through his opera glass, i'he Princess came to the front of thc box, and was enthusiastically applauded. Ata volun? teer dinner the toast to the Prince was refused by several voices. Then bis wonderful letters to Lad v Mordaunt were published, and he went upon the stand and declared upon his oath that his relation to tho lady was just what they indicated. The next day thc Queen sent for thc Prince and Princess to dine with her at Buckingham Palace, and they have ever since been living in the most affectionate relations. So good comes ont of evil, and virtue, even in this world, is ut times rewarded. DANGEROUS MEANS OF FRAUD.-WC have had in this city recently a case in which a genuine check for a small amount was suc ccsstully altered to one of a much larger amonnW^nd-but for the unusual caro of thc parties to \vnom it was offered would have been paid. Its fraudulent character was not suspected from anything on Its face, and was detected only from the tact that the party of? fering it was unknown. A check of a promi? nent New York banker, drawn tor a small amount, was recently altered to one ofseveral thousands, and was paid. The alteration ls effected first by the use of an acid, which re? moves the entire filling in ot the blank checks in writing ink without in the least soiling the paper, when tho blank may bc filled at plea? sure. We have a check before us which was simply touched with the cork from a bottle contatulng this acid, and the effects is thc en? tire removal of all trace of tho words and let? ters touched. How widely this acid may be known we <;anrjot sav< onl thc effectual man? ner that it does its work should put all persons in the habit of drawing checks as well as those paying cheeks on their guard. It is fearfully dangerous.-Pkila?eJp'ita Luicer. CORRECTING TUE CODE. The Proceedings Against the Secretary of State. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE NEWS.] COLUMBIA, S. C., March 25. To-day, Judge Melton granted a rule on Sec? retary Cardoza to show cause why amandemus should not bc Issued, requiring him to certily to Section 19lh ol* the "Code of Procedure," relating to the place o? holding courts lor Barnwell County, as enrolled, ratified and ap? proved by the Governor. The rule is made re? turnable on Tuesday next. Attornej'-Gencra! Chamberlain, Chancellor Carroll and C. ?. Melton aro counsel for the Secretary of State, and Pope and Haskell for thc relators. The mandamus ls asked for upon the ground that the Secretary of State is merely thc custodian of acts, and has no authority whatever to cor? rect clerical errors, after thc enrolment, ratifi? cation and approval, and as he did erase the word '"Barnwell" as being a clerical error, as he believed,and inserted ''Blackville," it is ask? ed that the court compel him to erase "'Black? ville" and reinsert "Barnwell." ALL ABOUT TUE STATE, Fives in Anderson. The Anderson Intelligencer says: "A fin broke ont in the residence of Captain John W. Daniels, on Mainstreet, near thc public square, on Thursday afternoon last. The alarm brought together a large number of citizens in thc shortest time, and every exertion was at once put forth to save the contents of thc burning building, as it was apparent that efforts to ex? tinguish the flames were useless. The fire progressed rapidly, and lt was wit h great diill culty that even a portion ot thc furniture was saved. It was a large two-story frame building, formerly need as a hotel, an d thc danger to other buildings was Imminent. Hence, thu efforts of | the crowd were Immediately directed to thc protection of the residences of Mr. Henry Garri? son and John Wilson, Esq., on the opposite side of Main street, and the almost superhu? man exertions of active and brave men accom? plished this object, and in all probability saved a goodly portion of the town. Thc residence of Mr. Samuel Crawford, a frame building, nearly adjoining Captain Daniel's house, was not so lormnate, however, and wc regret to chronicle its entire destruction also. A small building on thc corner of the Benson lot, occu? pied by Mr. Thos. Wildman as a marble estab? lishment, was likewise entirely consumed. The wind was exceedingly high at times during the fire, and changed about in different directions. Under the circumstances, with? out a fire organization, It seems really won? derful how the progress of thc devouring element was so speedily checked. Thc loss may be set down as follows: Captain Daniels' residence and furniture, $750: insured for $400. Mr. '"lawford's residence, $300; on which there was no Insurance. Thc house occupied by Mr. Wildman, and belonging to Mr. J. B. Earle, $150. We are informed that Mr. Crawford saved nearly everything, except thc house, while Mr. Wildman secured hi? marble without any considerable damage. Other parties met with losses from Hie confusion incident to tho removal ol their furniture during such a scene ol excitement, but only in a few instances from theft, which is common on like occasions. .'On Sunday evening last, about dark, the alarm of tire again rung out, and proceeding in thc direction indicated, wc found the stable of Mr. J. B. Clark, on Mc Duffie street, being rapidly consumed by the flames. Prompt measures of precaution were adopted to pre? vent adjacent buildings from igniting, and In a short time the lire was subdued to an extent that afforded relief to those In probablo (Inn? erer. It Is not known how this fire originated, aud there are numerous speculations on the subject. We are not inclined to think lc the work of an Incendiary, after careful inquiry, although this opinion may be erroneous. The loss sustained by Mr. Clark ls inconsiderable." Death*. Mr. Elijah Saterfleld. of Greenville, died on Sunday, at the advanced age of ninety. Mr. Joseph James, of Greenville, died at Chick's Springs, Greenville County, on Mon? day. Mrs. Walker, the widow of Colonel William Walker, of Chester, died on Monday. S ti r eil so f State News. It is stated that 638 persons have gone into bankruptcy in the Second and Third Congres? sional Districts of this State, under the provi? sions of the bankrupt act, 350 ot whom have been discharged. And the number of persons who have availed themselves of the benefits of I the act in thc Fourth District is about 450, of j whom 175 have been discharged. State Constable Noyes of York, has been re? moved because he arrested certain incendia? ries in North Carolina. An incendiary fire near Ebenczcrville in York County, on Friday, caused the loss of a barn and five or six hundred bushels ot corn and i large amount of forage. There ls strong ground for supposing the fire to bc the work of an Incendiary, and a colored man has been arrested and put in Jail, on the charge of firing thc building. ircrtili}crs.
