The action of Congress upon the subject cannot be inquired into. The case is clearly one in which the Judicial is bound to follow the action of the Political De partment of the Government, and is con cluded by it.

The parcel is bold in groin, very white and peculiarly well brushed. Sir Edward Thornton, at a dinner speech of the society of St. George said, no one upon signing the Treaty of Wash ington imagined that indirect damages would be injected. He was convinced that a waiver of the claims would be ap plauded by every nation, and would do honor to the great Bepnblic. New York, April 26.—The World says, editorially, that if the Cincinnati Convention is wise and high-toned, and will nominate Charles Francis Adams, as a candidate for President, the Democratic party will indorse that statesman with universal acclamation. The Herald calls for the removal of Secretary Fish. It says his judgment on the Alabama Claims is unreliable, and his acts will compromise the nation. New York, April 27.—Oberhobzer & Co., comer of Worth street and Broad way, estimate their damage, by a Are which occurred this morning, at $300,- 000. They were insured for half a mil lion. The African Methodists finally adjourn ed to-day after a session of great confu sion. Several members got greatly ex cited, and refused to heed the Bishop’s repeated calls' to order. The cause of the excitement was a proposed tax of one dollar on each member. One James attempted to speak, when Brother Jones told him to sit down, accusing him of being a defaulting agent of the last tax. New York, April 28.—The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church convenes at Brooklyn Wednes day. Four hundred and eighty-four delegates will be present. Eight new bishops will be elected. Special dispatches from Cincinnati re- j seeking to give itself triumph by revolutionary violence. The late rebellion was without any ele ment of right, or sanction of law, and the duration and magnitude of the war did not change its character. The States in rebellion were never out of the Union, and never absolved from the du ties, liabilities, and restrictions always incumbered on them. Unpon the second point, it is said, that, without tho remedy, the contract may not be said to exist. The ideas of validity and remedy are inseparable, and are both parts of the obligation which is guarantied by the Constitution against invasion; hence that denial of the reme dy by the State was not valid, because it annihilated the contract. The third of tho propositions is said to bo clearly unsound. Congress au thorized the State to form a new Con stitution, and she elected to proceed within tho scope of the authority con ferred. The result was submitted to Congress, EARL GRANVILLE TO SIR E. THORNTON. Foreign Office, April 8th, 1872. Sir:—General!

Nathaniel Moore, President of Colum bia College, died yesterday, in the 90th year of his age. The funeral of Paran Stevens, this afternoon, was largely attended.. THE SPANISH*REVOLUTION. Madrid, April 25.—Amadeus, iu his speech to the Cortes, said the relations of Spain to other powers are cordial. The difficulties with South American Kepub- lic3 had been reconciled, and he hoped soon to announce an agreement between the Italian Government and the Pope. He will avoid everything tending to impair Spanish territory, or putting arms in the hands of enemies of the Spanish race and name. He had been taught, by experience, the futility of clemency, and will, henceforth, be in exorable in punishing the enemies of liberty and disturbers of the peace. He hopes to promptly terminate the Carlist insurrection. Madrid, April 26.—There has been a vast increase in the number of the Car- list bands throughout the kingdom. Fifteen thousand persons are now en gaged in the insurrection. A proclamation has been issued de claring many places in a state of siege. The Government refuses to furnish the press any information in regard to either its movements, or those of the Carlists. There is great demand from the prov inces, where the Carlists are most active, fer troops. Marshal Serrano, with 6,000 troops, has gone to Navarre. His presence, at the head of this force, has checked the operations of the Carlists in that depart ment. Marshal Serrano will he appointed Generalissimo of the forces operating against the insurrectionists. Marshal Concha will also be given a high com mand. It is believed that the future of Spain now depends upon the course of the Radicals, and that, if they co-operate with the partisans, Don Carlos’ revolu tion will be successful. Senor Rosas, the nominee of the Min isterialists, has been elected President of the Cortes. Tho other officers chosen, are supporters of the Government. It is officially stated that the nuaiber of insurgents actually iu the iield, is 8,000. Madrid, April 27.—The Carlists have cut the telegraph wires at many points in the provinces infested by them, con sequently but few dispatches relative to the insurrection have been received thi{$ morning. A band of insurgents attacked a rail* way station in the town of Tosalona^ province of Lerida, yesterday, but were speedily repulsed. Madrid, April 29.—It is stated here, on official authority, ( that Don Carlos, has not yet entered Spain. Madrid, April 29.—Forty Carlists ap peared yesterday in the town of Ofcaun, in the province of Guipuzcal, and sur rendered to the troops stationed there. The Government force in the town of Nittoria, capitol of the province of Alava, attacked the insurgents at that place yesterday, and took sixty prisoners. The” troops now in pursuit of the Carlist bands throughout the kingdom are very active. The spirit of the army is generally excellent. It is learned, from the prisoners cap tured, that each band of insurgents has a priest at its head or among its officers. had no objection to my communicating his letter to ,my colleagues, or, indeed, I announcing it to Parliament.
