ALABAMA SENATORS QU A im KLING OVKH .rm-: SPOILS.-The two AI nb a in fi Senators have bad a slight unpleasantness about tho loaves and fish.?.- in their State. Spencer was after tho collectorohip of Mobile for a particular friend, and War? ner had an oyo to tho identical position for a political rotaiuor. The consequence was a dead lock. Grant know not what to do, and Boutwcll aud Delano were bothered which of tho two Senatorial magnates should be appeased. At length, it'is said, the difflonlty was adjusted by an agreement that Warner should get tho colleotorship, whilo Spencer should be accorded the postmustersbip of Mo? bile. The first part of tho agreement was promptly put in force and Warner's friend appointed; but when it came to airanging the postmostership, u hitch occurred. Warner claimed that post also, and Cresswell, it is said, yielded to his demands. Thereupon Spencer went to tho Whito House to raiso a row about the alleged breach of agreement. He had a talk with Grant, and, it is said, hauled "Ulysses over tho coals very warmly. Ho next went to the Post Of? fice Department, and pitched into thc jolly Cresswell, tho result being that Cresswell consented to give the post mastership to Spencer instead of War? ner. But just os this result was reached Warner happened to drop in and inter? rupt tho interview; and hearing of what had occurred, Warner demanded that thc appointment should be changed. Spencer interposed lively objections. Questions and answers of au unpleasant character were exchanged between the Senators, and for a time there appeared a very cheering prospect of a row. lt stopped short of blows, however, and the Senators have since had a chanco to cool off. -? ?a ? ? Kxeeullve I'oircri. Mn. EDITOR: The vetoeing aud par? doning powers are dangerous nod tempt? ing clements of great strength vested in tho Executive, under the Constitution of South Carolina; it creates in him A ONE MAN, a political lever of gigantic propor? tions; and, with such leugth iu the hands of au unscrupulous partisan chief, ho may usc it with extraordinary and telling effect in prizing out any opposi? tion to his own peculiar views and self aggrandizement, either pecuniarily 01 politically. In a closo legislative con? test, in tho passage of any railroad bill or other important measure, the Execu? tive may place his veto in tho market subject to tho highest bidder, lending his siguatnre to dollars and cents, and not to principle; the same may apply tc a closo political struggle. With thu unrestrained pardoning power, he coule or may control thu ballot-box with n wei organized baud of ruffians, with iuatruc lions, if need be, to munler auy oppos ing candidate or voters of an adverse faction, rather than shnxo defeat, will au assurance iu advance that they woule be pardoned for any outrages that li ii party hirelings might be guilty of. Wit] this power, he may open the doors of i prison, turn the keys of the Penitentiary and fix tho destiny of the State througl: tho agency of felons. As to the veto power, there is some se curity against an undue abuse under tin two-thirds rule of tho Legislature, bu the pardoning power is pleuury and irre vocable. It may be said that it is im possible to frame a constitution, or ti enact such laws as may subserve ever; purpose, but when an evil or a danger ons political tumor presents itself wit! such glaring deformity upon tho oonsti tu lion, some steps should b taken t remove the fungus. Graut's magical am soothing ointment, "Let us have peace, if properly applied, may remove th carpet canecr which threatens death t the body politic, as evidenced by th kites anil such unclean birds hover in around tho post office and Execntiv Department in Columbia. We, th people of tho South, are incompeter and powerless to correct this state o things. Will the President not nd m mi nit ter his sovereign remedy before the dis ease reaches our vitals, and save th State before her political death ensues? C. THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. The scssiou of tho United States Circo Cuiirt for this State closed on Saturday nod Chief Justice Chase left this cit yesterday for Raleigh. In connectio with the fact that the session now ende is tho first in which a Chief Justico c tho United Si '.es has sate on the bene in South Carolina, it is worthy of nol that in only ono instance has tho dec: sion of tho Hon. George S. Bryat United States District Judge, benn ovei ruled by tho Circuit Court, iinel in til one instance it was, wo believe, a mod fication and not a reversal of the eleen of tho lower court.

C., hus receive from Mr. Miles Moran, of Sumter, ? C., a medal bearing the name of Se geant Jonah lt. Holmes, a member i the Palmetto Regimeut, that served Mexico. This medal was purchased I: Mr. Moran from a soldier of a Mass chusetts regiment, and he desires th tho rightful owner should get it. M Holmes or his relative.* can procure it Mr. Tomney, at No. 3? East Ray, corn .of Adger's wharf, in tIto above name ! city. I ( A Horrible Grim?. The Grenada (Mian.) Sentinel, of Moy 22, relates the following' fearful hiato*?: The city waa thrown into th? wildes! excitement, on Monday morning last, at the recital of one of the moat, brutal murders ever recorded in the- annals of crime, whioh had occurred across the Abetnpoubonge tho night previous. In a short timo the whole town was loud in the denunciation of the deed, and could tho perpetrators have Usen known, they would have met with summary'punish ment at the bands of on outraged com? munity. It seems that, on Satnrday night, about midnight, some one knocked nt the door of tba ferryman. Mr. John Futhey, and asked to be crossed over to tho city for tho purpose of securing thu assistait co of a physician. Pleas Futbey opened the door, when he was instantly seized by two strong men, and dragged out. lu tho moaotime three men move entered tho house and pulled John Fu? they from his bed by tho legs, dragging him ont also. It appears that out of tho five men, who were all white, ono was disguised ns an African. The two men wero forcibly taken along until the cross roads were reached, when each party took a different direotiou. As soon as John Futhey was taken ho commenced to Btrugglo with his captors, and made what feeblo resistanco hu could ngainst them. Finding him determined, the party of assassins threw a looped rope about the neck of tho unfortunate vic? tim and dragged him in this manner about 400 yards, when they commenced to whip and otherwiso abuse him nntil life was extinct. Tho supposition is that the whipping was done with a rawhide. While this was going on, the other parties held Pleas Futhey securely in their hands, about thirty yards from where his brother was being tortured, and forci? bly made to bo a listener to his lamenta? tions without being able to assist him. After the brutal work was done, the party let Pleas go, with threats that if ho ever divulged the names of any of the I assassins they would serve him like they ? had tho brother. The deceased was an inoffensive, weak old mun, almost ready to step iuto his grave, one whom the community cared very little for, and so insignificant thot nona can conjecture what brought him such terrible punish? ment. Some suppose it must have been for his money, as ho is supposed to have hud several thousand dollars in gobi hid away. But wo doubt this, because the parties who killed him, after the murder was committed, made no attempt to find tho supposed treasure. Others believed that the parties who murdered him only iuteuded to chastise him nud lut him go; while still auother conjecture is that they intended to whip tho secret of his hidden treasure out of him, uud, that before they could do that the victim died. Tho body of tho mur? dered mau shows tbnt the whipping was cruel boyoud comprehension, and that the suffering must hnve been horrible. Tho militar}' have arrested R. li. Cha? tham, Clem. Edgar aud Bob Wilson, nil men of good character in this communi? ty, ou suspicion of being implicated in this dark chapter of crime. These gen? tlemen are nil well and respectably con? nected, and we trust will soon be able to prove nn alibi. DECORATION DAY-WHY IT WAS A FAH. URB.-The Times has a sensible und I truthful article showing why tho decora- j tion of tho soldiers' graves, tho other ] day, was a failure: "As a military display, it challenged no particular notice. As an attempt to i organize and consecrate a new national ! ceremony-to dedicate a day to the | memory of tho dead, in the name of the j cause for which they died-it command- j ed little support. However creditable I the motives in which the movement originated, it is apparent that the move? ment did not commend itself to the judgment or foldings of tho country. "Decoration Daj-, as it has been inau? gurated, is a day that can never become national. It is an appeal to the patriots of ono section, at the expense of the pride nud feelings of the other pection. It is a memorial of the triumph of Northern loyalty over Southern rebellion. It is a method of reminding tho North that it is a conqueror, and the South that it is conquered, lt is an attempt to convert even tho graves of tho dead into testimony affecting tho history of mil? lions who aro living. As managed by reverend gentlemen hore nud at Wash? ington, and elsewhere, it is an occasion for heaping epithets of infamy upon one set of graves, while piling Howers upon another set-for reviving tho bitter me? mories of conflict, scattering afresh the seeds of bate, aud under tho pretense of glorifying Union heroes, invoking curses upon tho misguided, but scarcely less heroic, Confederate dead. Such a cere? mony might have had its uses in tho midst of war; but it is incompatible with the restoration of peace-utterly incom? patible with that renewal of cordial feel? ings between tho people of the two sec? tions, which alone can impart lasting vi? tality and strength to tho Union. And Decoration Day, ns wo now have it, is an ostentatious display of tho trophies of victorious war, which tends to beget a dictatorial and aggressive spirit on one side, and feelings of humiliation and re? venge on the other. To a festival admit? ting of this construction, and marred by these tendencies, the generosity and I good seuse of the country will not be j easily reconciled." Tho Norfolk papers record a shocking caso of homicide. The daughter of Mr. John Murray, a stone-mason, was se? duced by a young man named Alexander Perry. Maddened at his wrong, Murray made a desperate attack on Perry, who shot bim dead with a double barrel gun. Perry delivered himself up to tho au? thorities, aud was released on bail. It seems to havo become a rulo with radical administrations to pick out tho weakest old woman in tho c untry for Secretary of the Navy. , Wo copy the following from the New York Herald: ......... NEW YOUR, Juno 1, 1869. 5fb *A? Editor of Hie Herald: Evente are culminating which must speedily bring about a solution Of the question whether Great Britain intends to indemnify this country for the losses to her shipping and commerce committed by vessels of war bnilt and partially equipped by Bri? tish subjects in English ports, und, ns it now appears from the written statement of the builders, opeuly and notoriously built with tho knowledge and under the veryJejes Of her Majesty's responsible advisers. The facts now established simplify the question and Hweep away all tho intricacies and technical difficulties with which legal he.nmen aud a perverted construction of the British Enlistment Act had smothered and surrounded it. England hus always sought to justify thc non-seizure of these vessels in her native and colonial ports, upon tho ground that the provisions of her municipal act did not euipr v. er her to adopt such a course. Earl R isse 1, then first miuister ol tho crown, ha* recently discovered thal the fault lay upon tho temporary inca pacity of his legal adviser. The cele? brated "Alexandra" case was tried in thc hope of vindicating tho impotency o British law. It was a sham trial. England has indulged iu sham trial.;. To gratify this third Napoleou, Dr. Der nord wes indicted for conspiring in Eng land with Orsini to assassinate tin French Emperor. Lord Palmerston iu trodnced au ex post facto law to moot tin emergency. Parliament rejected it upoi tho principle, nolumus Ip.ges Anglice mu tari, and his administration collapsed An obsolete, dusty Act was exhume? which had no application to the case, tin jury refused to conviot, the Empnror wa appeased, and tho law remained as be foro, powerless to punish the offence. England vaunted to America and t France, "Look, wo have endeavored t enforce our laws, but we are unable t punish the authors of the wrougs o whieh you complain." Assuming, how ever, that tho provisions of the Britis enlistment Act, honestly enforced, di not reach the offence committed by th Lairds and others in building, equippin and arming vessels for tho open and pa pable object of preying piratically upo tho commerce of a country then i peace with England, what was the conn which, had tho friendship of Ruglan been sincere and impartial, she migl havo adopted? 1 allude to a point in this great que: tiou which, according to my recollectioi has not been mentioned by the press < either country-certainly not prominen ly mentioned-iu tho course of the di cussion. If thc statement of tho Messr Lairds be true, tho Government wa made aware that the Alabama was bein constructed to carry out tho objects afterwards accomplished. Without asl iug an admittedly incompetent law oiric to peruse the provisions of their mun pal Act and advise whether the guil enterprise was in violation of the ne trality laws, tho Government of its ov authority might havo seized the vessc in the course of their construction,' interdicted their egress from any of th? ports, and have applied to Purliumo for indemnity. Precedents for such i act are innumerable. In tho case of pu lie and international wrongs, not pt hibited by positive enactment, such course hus frequently been pursued, ai Parliament has never refused its i demnity. Eugland would have done with respect to France or any other E ropeau power, and why not with respe to the United States? I was in my placo in tho House Commons when, in a thin and inattc tivo assembly, Lord Johu Russell a uonnced that ho bad advised the Que to issue a proclamation according bel gereut rights to the seceded Southe States. Thoughtful men deemed tho step ha: and premature. It was not, as I th believed, intended ns an act inimical this country, but it produced incalen ble mischief and prolonged tho fratri dal war. Amoug the aristocratic a wealthier classes a strong feeling of p tiality to tho South was evinced, n mauy, when they subscribed to Con fe rnto loans, risked (heir money on I hope that tho great republic would cru bl?) into fragments. In addition to the strong grounds ready existing to claim ample in deni n for the losses thus sustained, I vent to think that tho nou-ndoption of course suggested strengthens tho pt lion, and through tho medium of y< i columns I submit it to the public. War between the two countries is ] I siblc, but not probable. Tho in ten of civilization and the world will ci bine to avert such a catastrophe. Conscious of justice and of righi calm, firm and dignified attitude assnn by this country will secure tho com sious too long withheld.
