In the Supremo Court, the o:vil righ's o?so from Kentuoky, the chao invo ving the constitutionality of Drake's umeui - ment against ?he consideration by the courts of the effect of pardon and amnesty in casos under tho captured and abandoned property Act, certain gold contract cases, and certain slave con t rael oases go over to tho adjourned term for decision. In tho CASO of Cowdry against the Galveston and Houston and Henderson Ruilroad, thero were cross appeals. The decrco of the Circuit Court was iu all things affirmed. In tho case of the United States against a quantity of to? bacco, &c, tho judgment of tho Circuit Court was nfllrmed. It was held that tho Indian country is a part of tlx; United States; that Congress intended to tax whiskey and tobacco in that conn try; that thcro was power to do so; and the treaties with thu Cherokees do uot I I i Btand in tho way. I i Justice Cl i flo rd read a brief paper in the logal touder cases of Knox against Leo and Parker against Davis, as fol? lows: lu theso two cases, two questions were heretofore directed to bu argued, viz: 1. Is tho Act of Congress knowu as tho legal tender Act constitutional as to contracts made before ils passage? 2. Is it valid as applicable to transactions since its passage? These questions have becu cousiderod by tho court, and both have been decided in thu affirmative. Tho decree of tho Supremo Judicial Court of Massachusetts, in thc caso ol Parker against Davis, is therefore affirm? ed, and tho judgmeut of tho Circuit Court of the United States of tho West? ern District of Texas is also affirmed. Tho Chief Justice, with Associate Jus? tices Nelson, Clifford and Field, dissent from tho majority of tho court upon both propositions and tho result, holding that tho Act of Congress, so far ns appli cabio to contracts made beforo its pas sage, is repugnant to tho Constitution and void; and, also, that it is repugnant to tho Constitution and void so far as ap plicable to contraots made since its pas? sage. The opinion of tho court and the reasons for dissent will bo read before tho close of the adjourned term.

Probabilities-It is probable that a light storm is gathering in Missouri, and that falling barometer, with North-east winds, will continue to prevail on the lakes, and South-east aud South-west wiuds in tho Gulf Stales, with threaten? ing and rainy weather iu tho central Mississippi valloy. On tho Atlantic coast, tho weather ou Tuesday will probably bo variable, with occasional rains and increased cloudiness in the middle and Southern States.

This question was asked and answered by that apostle of radicalism, the chrouid smiler, Colfax, at the" serenade to'the oleanly Morton, last Saturday night, at Washington City. He said : "What is a scalawag? A scalawag is a Southern born man, who, when tho 3'.orm cloud of rebellion broko upon this country, and when it raged around bim, and threatened him with exile or confiscation, or outrage or murder, dared to stand up in tho midst of the storm, rtud say: 'As for mo and minc, we Bland by tho Union to tho last drop of our blood and the last beat of our hearts.' God bless tho men whom our opponents ? gmatize ns scalawags. They were faithful among the faithless; they were loyal amid treason, and if the American people do not protect them, not onlj igaiust their murderous enemies, but in die uxoroiso of every right guaranteed to ill by tho Constitution, wo are uot worthy tie ho called a nation." That is nearly as good a definition of {.alnwag as was that of a crab hythe trench sa o ms, whom the naturalist, Envier, so completely put to shame. 3 ilfax don't know tho breed as we do l.iwn here, and bis definition is not only i piece ( f s-pread ca ghi domagoguisni diaracterisl io of the man, but utterly af war with fads. For his information, ind that of those who really believe lu was speaking some part of thc truth, w< will tell hi ul what a Georgia scalawag ?say, is. Ho is a man who, if particularly loi how, was particularly violent in his hub jf the Yankees and bis desire for thei .xtonuinulion, even before the. war oom mended. He believed iii thc Afrieai dave trade and wished it re opened, ll wanted to secede before breakfast, ye even before be had swallowed bis tiru matutinal cock tail, and his favorite boa? was, that he could whip fivo Yankcr Milgie handed, and not half try. II wauled to crucify every man that thotigli secession might not prove a remedy fe every evil, and wore blue cockades, au hud spasms of purest bliss when Joi llrowu captured Fort Pulaski and til Augusta Arsenal. He abused thu Coi federate Generals for not inarching ci and capturing Washington, Philadelphia New York and Huston in thirty Hay and in every other way, shape and for proved, to his own satisfaction, that ibero wns nny Midi thing as a gcunit .Southern patriot r.nd true blue enemy tho Yankees, hu was tho man. All this up to Appomattox. Thea 1 had new light. Ile dreamed dreams ai saw visions. Ho saw that Southern p triotism was a losing card, aud that tl haled Yankees were going to hold i thc trumps. Thou he fell down at grovelled at (heir feet. Then he cn fessed his sins and wailed for pardu He had been led off-he had been swe t'rom his feet by tho surging tide of p pular passion-ho had been forced 1 tho pressure of public opinion lo co ?cal his real sentiments-he had be coerced, and had yielded tu save his 1 and property. Ob! how unctuously recounted all his past trials aud t>ibu lions, and hon' pathetic thc recital his emotions when he saw the "old fla ouce more unfurled in triumph over 1 head I When "reconstruction" was i creed, he rushed to embrace its infami He mado haste to join himself in ch alliance with all tho peripatetic rogi and adventurers from the Not th w followed in its wake, aud the ignora brutal Bomi-barbarians for whose beni it was set on foot. Ho eat and slept tl talked with, and cajoled and hill.1 tr them by day and by night. Ho sncal around back yards and through alli? aud about tho plantation negro quarti telling tho darkies of their rights II what a marvellously proper niau he i to represent them.

He proves every ouliago that lladical laiuy and halo has put upon his uni hors and fellow-citizens, and decli they have fared much boiler than ll deserts. Ho calls thom "rebels," thinks disfranchisement and bayoi the only way to deal willi them.

Olailin & Co., has jost loft this city on a tour through a portion of the Booth. He will visit Baltimore, Richmond, Wil? mington, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans-will spend a. short time in Florida to see some relatives on the way. When the rebellion broke ott in 1801, Mr. Claflin's house, enjoying a largo Southern trade, had,$1,000,000 in debts against Southern, merchants. After the war was over in 18C5, these debtors came to New York und received a generous wclcomo from Mr. Olaflin. They wero informed that they could make their own terms respecting the payment of the old riebt?, and should be kindly dealt with iu the future This policy proved UB wiso as it was generous. With comparatively few exceptions this large amount of old debts bas been ex? tinguished, nnd tho merchants of the South deal with Mr. Claflin's house more extensively than ever. The influence which has gono out from that establish? ment haB contributed largely to harmo? nize sectional feeling, and restore to the whole country a healthy condition of affairs. Tho extended business of Cia Oin & Co. can be estimated by tho fact that tho transactions of this single house in ono year now exceed in amount those of all tho dry goods houses of the city thirty years ago. This is the first visit of Mr. Claflin to the South, omi we bespeak for him Buch a cordial reception us is due not only to tho greatest, but tho moat liberal among our dry goods mer I chants." THE FIRST CASE.-The Atlanta Consti? tution learns that four citizens of Talla? dega, Ala., have been arrested and car? ried to Montgomery, under the charge of being Ku Klux. This is the first case, perhaps, under tho now bill. The de? fendants were discharged by the United States Commissioners, no case having been made out against them. The Government sells $2,000,000 in gold each Thursday, and buys $2,000,000 in bonds each Wednesday during May-. transactions aggregating $10,000,000 in bonds and $8,000,000 in gold. The counsel for Mrs. Fair, the mur? deress of Judgo Crittenden, bas applied for a now trial, aud tho Judge of the Court has granted a stay of sentence for thirty days. General Spinner is going to Europe for the benefit of his signature. He caught cold in it awhile ago, and has been seriously ill. When does rain become too familiar to a lady? When it begins to patter on her back. Corcoran is no better. ^3viL"io t; 1 <o TO. iSales. Groceries, &?.
