GERMANY AND SPAIN.
Capture of the German Brigs Marie
Louise and GRzelIe, by spanish
Men.Of-War-OnicisI InVes-
tfGatiOn.

SAN Francisco, December 1.-THE China
press says that the German brig Marie Louise,
was captured on account OF her having been
found anchored on the coast OF SOaioe, con
seduently a very little distance from land.
The GaZelle, also a German brig, was cap
tured at distance of four or i've miles from
the coast. According 10 the account OF her
captain, the two vessels were loaded with
arms and other munitions of war. The Ger
man consul was present at the inquiry into
the matter, had read the official information
OF the affair, and heard the declaration Of his
countrymen before the tribunal which ad-
Judged that the capture OF the vessel was that
established from the earliest days of legisla-
ton in Spain, and which is in strict conform
ity with the tribunals for the same purposes
in other countries. The Marie Louise was not
only found anchored OF the coast of Soaloe,
but had, before anchoring, already
discharged a portion of her cargo on the
coast, thereby violating all the contraband
laws. Tie captain of the Marie Louise re-
mained on board. OF the people who made
of from the ship were Mr.. Field, supercargo,
and the second mate, above named. The cap
tain and the German consul presented pro-
test customary in these cases, which, Joined
with the minutes of the matter, have been
forwarded through the local authorities to the
home government, which will give final de-
cision according TO Spanish law.

THE RIGHT TO TAX.
Important Decision by the Supreme
Court OF the state-Cities Must
Stand by their Contracts.

The case of the East Tennessee university
against the board OF mayor and aldermen OF
Knoxville, ,hich was heard on the first day
of the present term of the supreme court, was
determined therein yesterday, says the Knox
vile Press and Herald, OF Sunday, only after
a long and patient inyesti CATION by the court,
which resulted at last in division or the
Judges on the question. The facts of this case
were follows: Congress mad donated TO Ten
nessee a fund TO be used in providing means for
an agricultural education of her people. The
State accepted the gilt, and in 1867 the general
assembly were to determine the manner of Its
Investment and appropriation. East Tennes-
zee, generally, and especially Knoxville, was
anxious that the fund SnOuld be given to the
East Tennessee university, and in addition to
the existing inducements afforded by its
healthful situation, efficient faculty and past
prestige, the board Of mayor and aldermen,
at the request Of a large number of citizens,
offered the university fifteen thousand dollar
for the establishment of a librBry, If IL should
succeed in obtaining the agricultural fund.
An agent Of the university went TO NASHVILLE
and urged, before the legislative committee,
this with other Inducements, for making u
the agricultural college Of the State. After
the fund was given 10 the university, applica-
ton was made to the city officials for the do
nation for a library. Payment was refused
by the present board on the ground that the
board OF 1867 had no authority TO make the do
nation, and the question had not been sub
mitted to the people; and thereupon the uni
versity sued the city for it. Chancellor Tenn
pnd the n' university appealed 10 the sn,
preme court. Colonel Baxter argued
the case Ter the university, ana COlonel COcke
for the city. The opinion OF the majority OF
the court, delivered by Judge Sneed, was that
the proposition of the city being accepted
and acted on by the university and the gene
| raj assem- IDLY, was in the nature of a contract;
and as the education of its Inhabitants Is
clearly within the scope of the charter of q
municipal corporation, for which 1t might
tax its property, even though the institution
was outside The corporate limits, the city
/ must pay as proposed. Judge Freeman, for
himself and Judge Mcfarland. delivered an
elaborate dissenting opinion, holding that the
| establishment OF library contiguous to the
/ city was not a corporate purpose; that corpo-
| ration revenue must be expended within the
| corporation limits: that Incidental educa-
| tional benefits would not authorize taxation
| the subscri pJiou or donRtion by the board OF
| 1867 was unauthorized by law, and payment
| could not be compelled. The case has excited
| deep interest on the bench, at the bar and
among the people, and We learn that the
/ court viii be asked 70 rehear the case, becauSe
the people have never yet had hearing upon
the subject

BUsBY.s ELrCrIoN eEarAIN.

It is now conceded that the election
Of u. Busby is certain. The Radical
movement has eliminated in hopeless
division Of the elements which the par
~ managers had hoped were united in
support Of John League. Neither the
Irish nor the negro voters can be
bought and sold. They have
asserted their independence Of party
management, and have boldly declared
their purpose 70 vote for Busby, the
peoples candidate, for mayor. The
manly and Independent way in which
that gentleman has conducted the can
vass has convinced them of his sinceri-
ty, that he is strictly truthful and relia-
ble, and will carry out in good faith all
his pledges and promises. OF the peo-
pie, Major Busby is for the people, and
will be elected by them on the first of
January next.

THE SALARY BILL.

The debate in the house yesterday on
the salary bill was very long, very spicy
and very stormy. The report which We
received of it by telegraph was quite full,
but want Of space compelled its cUrtail-
ment. All the amendments and votes
are, however, given. Hurlbut's substi-
tule was adopted il makes a re-
duction ia The salaries Of members
only, leaving those Of the President snd
cabinet aud congressional employees un-
touched. II VIII be seen that the re-
ductiOn is but trifiing, and will hardly
compensate the country for the week
that has been lost in its discussiOn-it is
more in appearance than fact.
