The Memphis Argus of the 14th inst. contains the following: There was an animated discussion before the Crimi nal Court yesterday, between Attorney General Wal lace and Messrs. Sale and Chalmers, on a legal point involving the Civil Rights bill just passed by the United States Congress. Some free persons of color in this city have been indicted for keeping tippling houees anil billiard saloons, both of which are pro hibited by the statutes of this State—the statute pro viding that persons of color shall not have a license either to keep a tippling house or billiard saloon. Messrs. Sale and Chalmers filed a plea in abatement, alleging that all distinctions aro abolished between colored people and white citizens, and that the stat utes of the State are annulled, since they make a dis tinction between the free persons of color and white citizens; that the recont law of Congress is how the supremo law of the laud. *tc. Attorney General Wallace, on the other hand, con tends that in all matters pertaining to tho internal polity of the State the acts of the State Government are the paramount laws of the land; that the Congress of the United States has no authority “to legislate legitimately over the subjects now before the court,” as the States have never transferred to the United States Congress jurisdiction over subjects strictly per taining to tho domestic regulations and internal polity; that is to say, “all powers not delegated to Congress are reserved to the States respectively.” Shall wo have a test of the infamous “Civil Rights bill” here in Memphis, by the arrest and imprison ment of our Attorney General for the disregard of, or rather disobedience to the acts of Congress ? Attorney General Wallace emphatically declared that he would neither obey nor respect a law so palpably violative of the rights of eacli State to legislate on all subjects of a State character, and one which the gene ral government neither has, nor can "have, under the delegated powers of our constitution, any legal control. Tim question is important, and we are sure that the Attorney General will not shrink from any responsi bility which a full discussion of iliia question may in volve. Having been a “Union nji*u” through the whole war, General Wallace cannot bo assailed by tbo radicals as “a rebel in disguise.” Besides, his whole heart is iu the proper decision of the question, and we sincerely trust he, and all of us, will soonjiave an op portunity, through his instrumentality, of having a decision from the Supreme Court of the United States upon the constitutionality of the Civil Rights bill. Action of tlie Reconstruction Committee. New 7 York, April 23.—The Tribune’s special says : The statement telegraphed to New York on Saturday evening, that the Keconstrtibtion Committee had pre pared various propositions for report, is incorrect. There was a meeting of the committee held yesterday amt more fully attended than usual, and it is under stood that various constitutional amendments and separate measures of legislation were proposed and debated, but that no comprehensive or complete pro positions were discussed, and certainly nothing defi nitely concluded upon the report to the House. The committee will meet again at 10 o’clock, when the separate propositions submitted by different members may be embodied . in form preparatory to a report. The chairman will soon present the final report of the committee, summing up the results arrived at its in vestigations, and recommending some general policy of..restoration. It is possible that this report will be accompanied by a bill or joint resolution relating to the qualifications of Federal office-holders in rebelious States which will embody the idea of prohibiting the political power of that section from ever being con trolled by those who were active in tho rebellion.

The principal^iews from Mexico relates to the increasing prosperity of the country unuer the present government, to the pro-*- gress which i9 being made in the construc tion of the different lines of railroads, and to the plans which are being carried out to pre vent the annual floods or inundations, caused by the high water m the Mexican lakes. Tho work on all the lines of railroad is progressing rapidly, and the work is being done in the very best manner. In a few months more the journey from Vera Cruz to the Capital can be made in a lew hours, in stead of requiring, as at present,- four days. Fifty miles ol the road are already in opera tion. In addition to this great road, the one from Vera Cruz to Puebla, by way of Jalapa is being built partly by American capital. A railroad is also projected from Monterey to San Fernando, the latter a seaport on the Gulf of Mexico, a few miles south of the Rio Grande, which will no doubt be built. Cauals aud drains were being cut, under the direction of American engineers, by which to let off the superfluous water of the lakes which surround the Mexican capital. There is no doubt of tho entire success of this plan. The water in the lakes, which had been rising before these canals were opened, was now falling every day, and Mexico will probably escape this time the annuai^nundation. CONDITION OF THE MEXICAN FINANCES. The finances of Mexico continue to be on tbe most satisfactory tooting. The expe rience of the last few months has abundantly demonstrated that the revenues of the Gov ernment will ainplj r suffice far the necessary expe^cs of the same. The treasury has always plenty of funds* on hand, to meet whatever requisitions are made upon it, and the payments are made in gold and silver coins. The Imperial Mint at Mexico has been in lull operation during the la9t sixteen months, aud the coinage duriug that time has amounted to $20,000,000; uearty all iu dollars and half dollars. Each coin boars the head of the Emperor, with a suitable in scription, and the date. Maximilian’s military establishment. AM E X H I B I T I O N Hotels. It is true that tlio places of the French troops who are to leave Mexico are to be supplied, to some extent, by Austrian and Belgian troopa But our Government has not sanctioned .that substitution, nor does it receive cveu the approval of any person con nected with the Government. But it is a fact, and we cannot prevent it without going to war, not only with Austria aud Belgium, hut with France and Mexico also. The substitution is to be made in pursuance of treaties, to which I have before alluded, be tween those four nations. The object of these treaties was to guarantee tbe perpe tuity of tbe present government of Mexico. When the crowu was tendered fo Maximil ian by the deputation of Mexican notables who came to Mirarnon for that purpose, he refused to accept until the basis of these treaties had been agreed upon, and the trea ties themselves were subsequently made in pursuance of this agreement. At present the military forces in Mexico consist of only about 20,000 French troops,and the same number of Austrians and Belgians. As the French troops leave, in detachments, their places will he supplied by troops from Austria and Belgium, who will be brought over to Vera Cruz in French vessels- Maxi milian's army, therefore, will continue to be about 40,000 strong, and it will be officered principally by tbe French officers now here. They will be allowed to take service u.nder .Maximilian for that purpose, and special in ducements are to be held out to. them, by him, to induce them to refrain t Si rejx prospects of this crop, but from all wo are able to learn, it is good for an average crop. From some por tions of tbe district we learn it never gave bettor promise; and again, from other sections we hear it was damaged by the cold weather in February, and wly;at that was sown late is rather thin on the ground. Would not the damage to this crop from freezes be greatly obviated by manuring more thoroughly and sowing earlier ? That which has come under our ob servation promises an abundant yield of this impor tant crop.—Carolina Spartan, April 19. Fine Crop Prospects.—The Romo Courier says there ha9 seldom beeu better prdspecta for wheat and corn crops in Upper Georgia than the present, at this time of the year. The wheat Las sometimes been more forward, but rarely has there boon a better stand, or been more thrifty. Last week was favorable for planting corn, and the time was well improved by the planters. Nearly all of the best lands in tliis section of the State having been well prepared, will be under cultivation this year. The oat crop has been mate rially injured; the fruit crop promises finely. : ni. J men to provoke insurrection i curred by the people of the Southern Confederacy, in - .1 insurrectionary warfare.

Iu half an flour’s time from tho moment < f tho collision the steamer sank. The schooner had h< r bowsprit, figurehead and upper part of bows carried away, and leaked so badly that she was abandoned by her captain and crow. Fortunately the stoamer Elec tro, Capt. J. W.

A Hit.—Rev.

If tho Presi dent would call home every Treasury agent that is dis gracing tho North aud tbo Government and humanity, and alienating the South, 1, for one, should be glad.
