WASHINGTON, August 18.-Yester? day's rumor that the French and Prussian Legations had received war? like advices, is pronounced in proper quarters too absurd for contradiction. Beritzmy says Franco had loaned large sums to Austria and Italy, for railroad purposes. This money ac? counts for the accumulation of bul? lion in the Bank of France. Gen. Rosenoranz left this morning for the White Sulphur Springs. In the same train, and in social company with Rosencraz, were Gens. Ewell, Longstreet and. Hunton. Gen. Lee is at the White Sulphur. It is|seriously stated Rosencranz's visit to Virginia is for consultation with General Lee, regarding Mexi? can relations and South-western bor? der interests; other parties say that Rosencranz desires to consult General Leo with regard to the views, pur? poses and probable action of the Southern Democrats, as preliminary to a lotter of advice Rosencranz in? tends-addressing to the Germans be? fore leaving tho country.

Willard, A. J. The Attorney-Gene? ral, in behalf of the State, has filed a suggestion and obtained a rule to show cause for the purpose of oust? ing the respondent from the office of Coroner of Bichland County. The respondent has appeared and made claim to exercise and enjoy the office in question, under an appointment to that office made by the Governor of the State, and hos produced a commission therefor, bearing date the 21st day of December, 1864. He claims that by the tenure under which he holds said office his term will not expire until tho 21st day of December, 1868. On the other hand, it is claimed, in behalf of the State, that William B. Johnston is tho law? ful Coroner of Richland County, aud holds under commission from the present Governor, and has duly qualified, and has demanded of the respondent possession of all matters appertaining to said ?office, and that the respondent has refused to delivor the same to said Johnston. The question at issue is, the right of the respondent to hold aud exer? cise the office of Coroner. Accord? ing to tho case presented, iu behalf of tho State, tho termination of tho right of tho respondent to hold the office in question depends upon the due election or appointment, as the caso may be, of Johnston, and his having qualified therefor under tho provisions of the Constitution of tho State. The title by which Johnston claims the office in question having arisen while the State was under military government, in pursuance of the au? thority of the acts of Congress, com? monly known as the Acts of Recon? struction, it is contended by the counsel for tho respondent that such title is nugatory and void, the au? thority by which such military go? vernment acted being in derogation of the rights of South Carolina as a State under the Constitution of the United States. The precise question presented before the Court, as involv? ing tho merits of the present contro? versy, is whether tho supreme au? thority invested undur the Acts of Congress with powers of military go? vernment over persons and property within the State of South Carolina, regarded as a part of the Second Military District, could rightfully terminate the right of the respond? ent to hold the office in question, and vest in tho chunumt, Johnston, a right and title to said office, which can be recognised nuder tue existing Con? stitution and laws of the State, lt is not denied that Congress sought to oonfer such power, and that the commanding officer representing the military authority within such Mili? tary District has assumed its exor? cise. The practice established under the statutes of tho State authorizes a Judge of the Appellate Court to hear and determine, at chambers, ques? tions of this character, and to award such judgment as the nature of the case may demand. The grounds of this jurisdiction need not be stated, as they were not the subject of con? test in this case. The issuo involved in this case is one of momentous importance, both as affecting tho validity of acts of public authority, to which legal inte? rests of great magnitude, both pub? lic and private, have become con? formed, and un the first appeal to tho Judiciary, under the present Consti? tution of the State, upon grounds that have formed tho subject of ex? citing forensic discussion, and which can oui y coin maud acquiescence whoa fairly brought to the test of estab? lished principles of constitutional and statutory construction. In view of tb,e peculiar --.nature of the question at issue, it is due that the position assumed by the respond? ent's eui u sol .should bo succinctly stated. Tho foundation of the title of ibo respondent is claimed to be tho Constitution of this State, adopt? ed June 3, 1790, and the amend? ments thereof, and tho statutes passed in pursuunce of such authori? ty. It is contended that he is enti? tled to the enjoyment of the full term of fonv years, from his appoint? ment and commission; on the grounds-first, that, by the tenure of his office, ho has an indefensible right or property in the same for the full term originally created, aa against auy public authority whatso? ever; and, second, that no rightful authority existed or could exist under any Act of Congress, compe? tent to terminate tho term of office created by aud under the Constitu? tion and laws of South Carolina. It is argued, that South Caroline is, and bas been, from a time earliei than tho Constitutiou of the Uniter States, a sovereign ; that, by a dele gatton of express powers, incapable by its terms, of being enlarged bj implication, sho purted with to th? United States no rights in deroga tion of her sovereignty; that be: ancient Constitution and laws eve have been and are the only tests o validity and legality iu relation to al matters of internal government, am afford tho only electoral basis upot which rightful authority can stau< within tho State; that, ns a State, sh is aud always has been unaffected ii her legal rights and immunities, bot ns sovereign and under the Const itu tion of the United States, by tb recent rebellion and its legal an political results and consequence; that the rebellion was a matter bi tween the citizens of the State an the Federal authority, that did nc concern or affect her rights as a Stat? that the only consequence that cool rightfully follow the successful arn of the United States, was the arrei and punishment of the individua engaged in rebellion, under tho Coi stitution of tho United States, i individual offenders. That, the constitutional relatioi of the State to tho United Stat remaining unchanged, notwithstan ing the war, it was not compeieut f Congress to prescribe the calling of Convention to frame for us a Cons tution and form of government, n io prescribe and define an electoi basis unknown to ber Constitutio j in furtherance of such parp?se. It was also contended, that t Constitution of 1865 and the terms I adjustment imposed by the Preside ? of the United States, wore accept under a duress of circumstauc? leaving the State without freedom accept or reject them. Considering tho first ground p seuted by the argument, namely, tl tho tenure of tho office of Corot was unalterably placed beyond t power of thc State to destroy diminish it, it is clearly a misconct tion of the nature of au office, existing under our system of gove: ment. The office in question \ not an estate held by grantor pate but a power held by commission aud from the people, for whoso sak was enjoyed, upon certain prescril terms and conditions, and by wh tho authority delegated could withdrawn, whenever the public v fare-the suprema lex-demanded withdrawal. Theremaining ground of nrgura must bo examined by the light of powers conferred upon Congn and inhibited to the States by Constitution of the United Sta' and gives rise to two questions-fi whether the State, as such, beca: by the existence of the war of rel lion, subjected to the war pov lodged in tho Government of United States; and, second, whet! by the terms and proper effect of I instrument, those powers worf limited as to place beyond tl sphore the rights and murnini claimed for South Carolina in case. Could, therefore, the war po^ of the United States be prop directed against a State, as su These powers, as they are ve: in Congress, reluiu io dedaring 1 grauting lotters-of-marque and prisai, and making rules concert captures on land and water, (arl one, section eight,) raising and f porting armies, providing and ra taining a navy, making rules for Government, and regulation of land aud naval forces, providing calling forth the militia to exe the laws of the Union, suppres surrection and repel invasion, prc ing for organizing, arming and d plining the militia, and for gover siioh part of them as migbt be ployed in the service of the Ur States, with certain reservation the States as to the appointmei militia officers and training tho i tia when not in the service ol United Statos, suspending the wi habeas corpus in oases of rebe and insurrection, when the pi safoty might require it (section n The powers, as vested in the F dent of the United States, are, bo shall be Commander-in-ohi the [limy aud navy of tho United States, ".of tho militia of-ttiB.sove ral States, when called ?pto lhB"B0tnal service of tho United States, (article font, section four.) In addition to these, is tlie general grant of power, applicable alike to its civil and mili i tary frinnt?pns, implied bj tho decla? ration.of theVohjects of tho establish ? merri;bf tho Union-namely, to ? establish justice, insure domestic I tranquility, provide for the common defeuce, promote the general welfuro and secure the blessings of liberty to the nation (preamble.) To this should be added, the right to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers and all other powers vested by the Constitution in the Government of tba United States, or in any department or officer there? of, (Article 1, Section 8.) This am? ple charter of war powers, as full aud completo as that enjoyed by any Go .vermneut recognized us possessing national attributes, confers upon the Federal Government power to deter? mine as to the causes and conditions upon which these powers should be put in exercise, the ends towards which they should be addressed, and the means appropriate to the attain? ment of those ends, so long ns they belong to thu class known as war powers. Tho question then arises, eau a State become the proper subject of the exercise of these war powers? The geueral proposition bearing upon this subject is that any orgau ized community capable of creating and wielding milita:y power can be both actor and subject in relation to the exercise of such powers. The States of the Union hnving nt theil command orguuized militia, capable of raising, arming and maintaining troops, and of procuring munitions aud supplies of war, are clearly com peteut to engage in war, except sc far as that competency is interfered with by the Constitution of thc United States. That instrument acte only upon their legal capacity tc make war, not upon their power t< maintain war when once lawfully made. It recognizes, in curtail cases, the right of a State to defonc itself by means belonging to war when placed in jeopardy, and tim is not allowed to invoke the militar aid of theUnited States. In a word if any case can arise under the Con 8titution where the Government o tho nation would be justified ii bringing the constitutional powers c tho Government to bear Upon th State for the accomplishment of lawful end, resisted by the State, th necessity of a resort to arms wonl arise from the very fact that the sui ject of these powers in tho give case was an organized commuait possessed inherently of ! militar powers. Turning, then, to tho Coi stitution, we find that such a cas I may arise, but is most likely to occn under the provisions inhibiting ce tain powers to the States, natneb I that to euter into any treaty albano i or confederation, or grant letters < marque and reprisal, (Article 1, Sei tion 10.) It is not enough to say tin the Constitution executes itself I instantly ann niling such transa tious, for the prohibited alliance < confederation might exist for tl very purpose of destroying th; Coustitution-as was the case in tl war of rebellion; nor would tho leg invalidity of letters of marque ai reprisal accomplish that protection commerce intended to be secured 1 the constitutional provision und considerutiou. It is, therefore, fr from doubt that u State may, consi toutly with the Constitution, pla herself in such a position ns to L come rightfully subject to the w powers of the nation. This leads to the inquiry whoth the State of South Carolina occupi such au attitude to the Governme of tho United States. She passe as a State, an ordinance of secessi that was the immediate causo of t war; she made an alliance and cc federacy with certain other States, violation ot the express prohibit! of the Constitution. With her cc I federates, she made war, in the fu est sense, against the nation; raise armed and maintained, at the pub cost, armies and a navy, to oppc tho military power of tho Unit States. Sho put in commissi officers to command ber armies a navies, and imposed taxes for t maintenance of a state of war. J this was done by the State as an in vidual, and ns a member of a con f ci ration of States; and thus assum an attitude that rendered it necesst either that tho United States shot relinquish the Union and the Cc stitution, or put in operation all 1 rights and energies as a sovereij capable of making and maintain] war. Having this right, the next qu tion that arises is, did she exercise All the departments of the Gove ment have, each in its proper sphe recognized the fact that the war, rebellion, was carried on agai States and not against the individu composing these States, exclusive the participation of the States thc selves. President Lincoln, by his proclai tion of August 16, 1861, docln that an insurrection against the la Constitution and Government of United States had broken oat in c tain States, including South Carob that he bad called forth tho mili >."-: under tue Aot of February ,28;.1795, to suppress sdob; insurrection, an cl to cause the laws to be o\8?n?od, and that the insurgents bad failed" to'-flis pe?so; that other _ States had since become involvisu therein. He states : "And whereas, the insurgents in all tho tstiiu otates claim co aot under tho authority thereof, and such claim is not disclaimed or repudiated by the persons exercising the functions of Government in snob State or States, or in the part or parts thereof in which such combinations exist; nor has such insurrection been suppressed by said States,-he, therefore, declares that the inhabitants of said States, excepting West Virginia, are in a state of insurrection against tbe United States, and that all commercial inter? course between them and other parts of the United States is unlawful, and certain property was declared subject to forfeiture. This was an Executive declaration, recognizing tho fact that tho rebellion had developed itself as a rebellion of certain States as organized communities; hence he does not distinguish, in dealing with them, between citizens of those States who wero implicated person? ally in the rebellion and those which abstained from such action ; but treats all inhabitants alike, as necessarily was the case where the State of which they were members had assumed the attitude of war. The same general conclusions were embraced in the joint resolutions of tho Senate and House of Representa? tives, adopted July 22, 1863. The rebellion was there characterized as c war directed against tho Constitution and Government of the United States, and the object of that war, on the part of the United States, was declared to bo to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union, with al the dignity, equality and rights ol the several States unimpaired, anc that as soon as these objects were ao compiished, the war ought tu cease The Supremo Court had the quas tion of the status of the rebellioi before thom in 2 Black, 635, and re garded the war as formal and justi lied by the circumstances, as ade quately declared under the provision of the Act of July 13, 1861, and as war against States organized in re hellion, and held that the laws o war relative to capture and condom nation were operative. Thus it wi! be seen that the State of South Co roi i na, capable of being placed ii such a relation to the General Gc vernment as to involve herself in th consequences and effects of war wit that power, actually occupied thc position as the consequence of he own action; that the Government pt in exercise its constitutional powen and continued to exercise the sam until she re-entered the Union, nnd< her present Constitution, bavin complied with tho terms and cond tions exacted by the war power < ?the Government, ns essential to tl: accomplishment of the objeots ft which the war was waged. It is not within the compotenc of a State tribu nil to declare tbi tho objects sought in tue war wei not legitimate, and the means witl out the Constitution, so long as thc properly belong to tho class of wi powers. The United States havir entered and reduced the State in tl right of conquerors, succeeded 1 tho laws of war to tho local powe of Government, displaced by marti authority', and while so invested wi as full and legitimate local aathorit under the laws of war, as the Sta had enjoyed under the Constitute previous to the war, and a termin tion not having been put to the sta of war by the concurrent action the constitutional powers to who belonged the restoration of pea and the stipulation of the terms ai conditions on which it should d pend, passed certain ordinances among which was ono providing f the calling of a Convention of ti people to reframo tho Government the State-and prescribing thejelecl ral basis upon which ?uch Gover ment should exist. With the polii and necessity of such legislation, tl Court has no concern, nor can rightfully determino whether t other conditions of pacification we necessary or appropriate; it can lo no farther than to see that the pow? exercised are of the olass conferr upon the United States; nor can find any ground to ailinn that Cc gresn ha? traveled beyond the sec of these powers. Tho election of Johnston, bei conformable to the authority deriv from the Acts of reconstruction, v valid, and tho declaration of the : suit completed a title to the office question, subject to an act to be p formed by himself, namely, the taki of the oath of quolifioation. It v competent for him to demand, un< the Constitution of the State, 1 possession of the office, upon 1 principles laid down by the Su pre Court of the United States, in 1 case of Leitensdorfer cs.
