FROM TIE STATE CAPITAL.
A Row about Dividing the spoils-
Crews Vows Vengeance-Who Wrote
that Famous Letter.

[FRoM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.
COLUMBIA, April II.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
There has been big fuss in the Radical
camp, and from ell can gather, it is only the
beginning OF bigger row.
It appears that Governor Scott promised the
Office of Land Commissioner to Joseph Crews,
one of the white members of the State House
II Representatives, and then gsve the Office to
C. P. Leslie, the senator from Barnwen. This,
of course, riled Crews terribly, and he swears
vengeance against the whole party, vowing
that he will expose their schemes and tricks
since they have controlled the government.
Last night Governor Scott sent for Crews
and promised to give him something else if he
would only keep quiet. But Crews would not
be Modified, and cursed the whole establish
ment right and left. saying that they had all
well feathered their nests, and that all the
spoiIs were given to Northern men. He said
he would show them that it was too late to talk
ofbuying him. II promises 10 be very pretty
quarrel.
BY the way, it has leaked out that Governor
Scott's letter to Mr.. G. W. Williams, in which
there was 80 much praise Of the Mercury and
Its laUu conductors, 4nd so AuuUi abuse Ve Tns
NEWS, was written by Mr.. John Heart, who was
in former days ono of the proprietors OF the
Mercury, and is now Governor Scott's private
secretary. Ibis accounts, &c. Z. y. X.

THE M,dRDLE C4SE.'
Decision of the United States Supreme
Court.

On Monday last Chief Justice Chase deliver
ed the opinion OF the Supreme Court in the
case of er parle VIM. H. McArdle, as follows:
This case came here by appeal from tho Cir
emit Court of the Southern District OF Alssis-
siIp,- petition for the writ OF habedS corpus
VAS nrcferred in that court by the appellant,
ALLEGING unlawful restraint by military force.
The writ was issued, and return mado by tho
military commander, admitting the restraint,
but denying that it was unlawful. IL appeared
that the petitioner was not Ill tue miitary SER
vice of the United States. but was held III GUS
tody by military authority FOR tral before
military commission Oh charge founded on
the nublica6ion OF articles alleged to be libel
ions in a newspaper OF which he was the edl-
tor. Upon the hearing, the petitioner was re-
mapdcd to the military custody; but upon his
PRAYER an appeal was allowed him to this court,
and upon his fling the usual appeal bond FOR
cosis he was admitted to bail upon recognI-
z,nce win suretics conditioned for his future
appearance in tho Circuit Court to abide and
perform the final Judgment OF this court. A
motion 10 dismiss this appeal was made mere
at the last term, and after argument, was de,

be found IN the report Oh the decision, ana IL
ia therefore unnecessary to repeat 1t here.
Subsequently, the case was argued with great
ability and thorouGhness upon tho merits ana
was taken under advisement by the court.
While il was thus held, and before conference
as TO tho decision proper to be made, an act
was passed bv Congress, returned with cplec-

The s:rripIe AlIiance"-The New Span
ish Constitutton--The War Cloud.

From the latest foreign mails by the Java we
CLEAN the following:
THE triple ALLIANCE"
A deputation from Naples presented the
King of Italy with a crown OF gold on the anni-
versary of the battle of Novara, fought March
%, 1S49. After thanking the deputation, the
Kins remarked that Italy was on the eve ol
grave crisis. Never had the need of earnest
unity been greater. "Momentous events, from,
which will spring the accomplishment OF our
wishes, and of the destiny of our country, are
at hand" There seems to be no doubt that
the King did make use Of these significant
words and as q Republican conspiracy can
hardly be looked upon as realizing the destiny
of the country, the King is supposed to alude
to the sstriple alliance" The Emperor Napo.
leon, it is believed, has sold the Pope for Italy
aid.
TIE NEW SPANISH CONSTITUTION.
A draft of the new Spanish constitution has
been published in the form that it has been
agreed upon by the committee. tits undoubt'
edIy great progress over :he constitution un'
der Isabella; it is, in some respects, more libe-
raj than the French and Italian constitutions
and its provision for the establishment Of un /
versal suffrage is as liberal as may be found IN
any of the European constitutions. With r..
gard to the articles concerning religious free.
dom, article twenty obi, es the nation to main
tain the worship and the ministers of the
Catholic religion. BY the following article
resident foreigners receive the right of exer-
cising any other worship, and article twenty
two comedies to Spaniards who profess another
religion than the Roman Catholic, the right
which the preceding section had conceded tc
foreigners.
WAR RUMoRs.
The London Star has the following from
Paris:
Rumors of war, from high quarters, still
reach US, the basis whence they arise being the
statement Of those well informed as to Prussiar
ooitics, that that power considers war with
France inevitable, and, therefore is not ONLY
prepared, but ready to take the initiative. i,
appears facS that Prussia, in her diplomatic
relations with Southern Germany, has negoti
ated free passage through oil the States be-
longing to that confederation. Prussia, it il
further asserted, will select the approaching
election as an appropriate moment for quar-.
relling with France. The Franco-Belgian Incl
dent may serve as the desired prete1t: NJ
Frere- Orban, it is true, comes to Paris with the
most conciliatory views. The Emperor. in ar
autograph letter to the King OF Belgium, has
convinced that country that in all events itf
Independence will be carefully respected, AND
that he is not ambitious OF conquest or an.
ne1ation with regard to Belgium. The King
is perfectly reassursd, and quite willing tc
make all suitable concessions to France. But
it appears that these concessions are dis
pleasing to England as well as to Prussia
and Nj. Frere Orban himself admits to NJ
Rouher that the proposed French and Belgic
International treaty will excite the Jealousy
of the above mentioned countries.

THE GUFFIN.
From the Chesterfield Democrat

From the Chesterfield Democrat.
Some of our readers may not know that his
insulted E1cellency replied to the article Of The
CHARLESTON NEWS, in regard to the organlza-
ton OF negro militia, fatty denying that any
order was issued for the enrolment. Unfor-
tunately for the Governor, the enrolling officer
at Abbevil c, one Gufin by name, comes to the
rescue of his chief and says just en- )ugh to
prove that either the Adjutant-G Generals De-
partment was in operation before it was open
ed, or his offended majesty suspended an order
emanating from himself which he now claims
had neuer been issued. The fact is, in our
humble Judgment, THE CHARLESTON NEWS is
entitled to the whole credit OF inducing nm
abandonment of the mischievous design by
it's timely and manly protest. No one can read
the whole correspondence which has been call
ed out on this subject without coming to the
same conclusion.
From the Abbeville Press.l
In another column we publish the comments
of the CHARLESTON NEWS upon Gufin's letter,
showing how entirely irreconcllable are it's
statements with the positions assumed by Gov
ernor Scott. The points made by the editor
are we'll taken; the issues clearly presented;
and the conclusions seem to be irresistible. AS
THE NEWS expresses it, "if GuHin be right,
Scott is wrong; and IL Scott be night, Gufin is
wrong But whatever be doubtful, this much
is certain-admtted In Gufin's letter and pat
ent in every act-that he exercised the author
ity, whether lawfully or not, to raise COM
pany. Agencies the most etfectual; appeals the
most irresistible we're employed; a company
Of sixty-tive mon was raised; and but for
the timely interposltion Of others to arrest
the work, labor would have been dsorganized,
and bloody conflict inaugurated. Gufhns
act contemplated no mere enrolment. He
wanted company for actual work-''short,
sharp and docisive"-he employed the most
speedy means to raise it, and did raise it. His
statements arc consistent with his acts; but
both word and deed are irreconciable with the
positions OF Governor Scott. It is matter OF
no concern to US who is right and who is
wrong. We are willing to let the matter rest,
and trust that we may never again have the
dsagreeable provocation and the unpleasant
task of reviving it.

ment issued from New York, signed ''Moreles
Lemus," +" imposing conditions upon Cuban re-
fugees for support of the revolutionary cause,
Dulce has issued proclamation ordering the
seizure OF all property belonging to Lemus,
Leon, Casanova, Cieneros, Criardo and others.
The journals generally praise the decree OF
confscation. The rebel leader, Adulcers, was

River, near tho western end Of the island.

TuE SOUTH CAROLINA LAND SCHEME. Tho
New York Tribune says editorialIy:
We know nothing as to the details of the
measure adopted by the South Carolina Legs
lature for giving five years. credit to actual set
Tiers on her unoccupied lands, but tho prin-
ciple seems to US eminently wise, and worthy
of imitation by other Southern States. Every
indication OF o tendency to encourage at the
South the immigration OF actual aborers who
mean to earn homesteads by their own toll is
another token of the better day dawning for
that unfortunate section. Hitherto they havs
been too much disposed to discourage new
corners who brought no capital save strong
muscles, and an honest determination to win
land and homes by work. If they have now
found out that these are the men they want,
rather than cotton spectators, politicians, or
even capitalists, then they are in fair way 10

OF cA1MoNs.

THE pIsEsTABIIsBMENT QUEST N The HOUSE
OF co11doNs.
LONDON, April 16.-Iu the House OF Com
mons, tonight, Mr. Gladstone moved that
the House 20 into committee on the bill for
the disestablishment Of the Irish Church.
Newdgate, Conservative, moved as an amend
ment that the House go into committee six
months from the present day. This mo'ion
was equivalent to an indefinite postponement.
A lively debate followed, during which r. S
Aytoun, member for Kirkaldy, created SEN
sation by declaring his objections to that
clause in the bill which provided for the
support of Maynooth College. MIR. Aytoun
is Liberal, and voted with the majority
in the division on March is, when the bill
passed to It's second reading. His declara-
ton was followed by q scene Of great ex-
element in the House. The Opposition
cheered repeatedly, and counter cheers and
other interruptions from the ministerial
benches. When Aytoun ended his remarks the
confusion subsided, and the debate was contin-
ned. The most Of the speeches were made by
minor members OF the Opposition. At the end
of this discussion, which lasted six hours, MIR.
Gladstone rose and said due care would be
given by the government to the terms OF the
provision made for Maynooth College. He at
tributed much of the opposition to the bill to
the power Of the clergy in Ireland That power
had been built up by the old policy of England,
which ha, lately been partially reversed, and
was now about to be finally and completely
abandoned. He concluded by declaring the
success Of his bill was not a question of party
but of justice.
Mr.. Disraeli followed. He disapproved OF a
division on Mr.. Newdsate's motion for post
ponement, and said he was anxious togo into
committee on the bill.
The House divided on the original motion to
90 into committee with the following result:
For s55, against 22s; majority 126. The house
then formally went into committee on the bill
and adjourned.
