Of these five per cent.*, *257,000 w ere reported by Secretary McCulloch as outstand ing on the 1st of January, and it is understood that the whole or a large pan ol ilnin are in the hands ol White, Chiles and Company, of Kentucky, and other parties in New Voik and elsewhere,who bought them of the Con federate Government of Texas during the war. Sometime last year, Mr. A. T. Mot rick of Wasltingtcn, as counsel for the State of Texas, applied for and obtained aji injunction to prevent the negotiation ol the b >nds thus sold. The purchasers now come into court and ask a dissolution of the injunction, on the arouml that Texas is ndt a State i n the Union and has no standing u the Supreme Court. The case or McCardle involves the consti tutionality of the reconstruction laws. Mc Cardle is the editor of the Vicksburg Time*, and being like many editors south and some north of Mason and Dix'on's line, a noisy, brawling fellow without sense or discretion, it became necessary lor General Ord to have him arrested lor publishing libels on officers of the Kreeduien’s Bureau and articles tend ing to excite a disturbance of the public peace and further designed, as was alleged, to i itimidafe loyal voters and to hinder the work of reconstruction in Mississippi. Hu was brought before a millitary commission for trial, but was subsequently produced in the United States District Court in answer to a writ of habeas corpus and a('cr argument was remanded by Judge Hill to the custody of General Old's deputy, General Gillem. An appeal was promptly takes Irom this decision, on the ground that the reconstruction law un der which the military commission claims ju risdiction is unconstitutional. It is reported that five ol the eight judges ot the Supreme Court are of the opinion that the law is not distinctly authorized by tire constitution, and t!u House of Representatives has accordingly in a great hurry passed a law requiring the assent oi two thirds of the lull bench to any decision adverse to a law of Congress. This at the first glance serines to he a provision es sential to the stability ot legislation. A two thirds majority of the two bouses ol Congress is required-to overrule the veto of tire Presi dent,and it seenres entirely just to require the agreement of two-thirds of the court to abro gate.'a law ot Congress. On the other liaDd it is urged with great force that the validity ol the acts of Congress is constantly liable to come in question hi controversies between in dividuals involving rights oI property, ahd the establishment of this tule gives an unfair ad vantage to the party resting 1,5 claim upon the validity of such an act. If the Supreme Court could be relied upon ■ tocoutiuc ifaeif to the business for which ft was constituted, the decision of questions ot law and equity before it, .villi sole reference to the riglrtg involved and careful avoidance of intrusion into the domain of legislation, then indeed its high standing in ti e earlier days ot the Republic might remain unques tioned ; then it nriclrl claim the reverence of all men as the very fountain ot justice; then the decision of any and all questions which could come before it, might he awaited in confidence and lelt safely to a majority of tire court. Unhappily tiie court lias alr eady been dragged iulo the political arena in one memo rable instance. Unhappily there is now an uneasy suspicion that this case of McCardle, which if taken up in its regular order would be postponed two years, will he brought for ward on tire docket lor political effect. We are not prepared to believe that the Supreme Couit will so degrade itself, but il there is any danger of it Congress is aetiug wisely in pro viding against that danger. The business of the Supreme Court in this case is simply to secure McCardle in his rights. The postpone ment will not affect him unfavorably. While the case is pending proceedings before the military commission are stayad, and the de fendant goes about his business on hall. In good time a decision is readied and ho is either remanded for trial or sent to the civil courts. it me ui UCCIIUlllg IIS OjilUlOU of the recent legislation of Congress, the court goes out of its way to take up this case, it will unquestionably lie meddling with a very dan gerous subject. It has already held the war with the rebels to be a regular territoiial war, attended by all the incidents ot a war with an alien enemy. The terms of reconciliation after such a war, cal) them by what name you please, are of the nature of a treaty. It is the business of the Supreme Court to coustrue, not to make, treaties. It is ihe American people who are entitled to decide, through their representatives, on what terms the com pact abjured by the Southern rebels shall be renewed. They have decided. The plan of reconstruction is already marked out. No human power can change it. It the Supreme Cpurt wantenly meddles with it, the court will suffer hut the determination of the people will remain unchanged. A popuiai movement cannot be controlled by judicial decisions, and for that very reason the judiciary should, in order to preserve its great and beneficent le gitimate influence, keep aloof from purely political questions. \Yhafc effect would a de cision from the bench on the constitutionality of the call for troops have had in 1861? It would have been laughed to scorn. The court prudently avoided that question in 1861, and we trust it will exhibit the same prudence now. If it persists in meddling with matters which it can not and should not control, it is worth considering whether it may not be best tor Congress instead of changing the constitu tion of the court to impeach the judges. A Eh!o|; of Woman by “Mark Twain.*’ At the dinner given by the Correspo admits’ Club at Washington, on Saturday week “Mark Twain" was called on to respond to the usual toast to “Woman,n which he did in the following characteristic style: “Mr. President: I do not know why I should have been singled out to receive the greatest distinction of the evening—tor so the otlice of replying to the toast to woman has been regarded iu every age. | Applause.].

[Ap plan-ie.J Dominion of Canada. Tilt TBOUBI.ES IX TUK EAST. Nova.Scotia seems to be the pluckiest ol ail the Provinces of the British North American Union. She has no idea of sitting down lamely under her wrongs, oi accepting a* in evitable the state of things imposed on her by her faithless legislators, and struggling to car ry along tier proportion ot tha burden grow ing out of tlie unwieldy and frightfully ex pensive confederation. Her people are awake to their interests, and they know the value of agitation. The Halifax Chronicle of Decem ber 14, is before us, containing the report of a mec ing held in that city the evening before, to express the popular voice hi tavor of the repeal of the Act of Union so far as their Province is concerned. Tlie meeting seems to have been crowded and euthosiastic, aiid the demonstration h powerful one. A great number of the best and ablest men in tbe Province were present, among whose names that of the Hon. Joseph Howe is probably the most familiar to American readers, and very- strong speeches were made on the occa sion. The following preamble and resolu tions were adopted with unanimity: lT7ierea», Owing to tlie great diversity of in terests and feelings between tlie Provinces ol Nova Scotia and Canada, the public sentiment of the people of Nova Scotia is distinctly op pose 1 to tne Confederation of this Province with the Province of Canada: Anil whereas, The poople of Nova Scotia nev er did become assenting parties to the Act of Union, the Legislature which sanctioned such Act having done so in direct opposition to the w ell understood wishes of the people, and by assuming a power never entrusted to them; Therefore resolved, That in the opiuiou of this meeting, the Act of Union, as passed and made law by the Imperial Parliament, has uo claim upon the loyalty of the people of Nova Scotia, any obedience yielded to such Act be ing a matter of coercion, ami not given with tlie free assent of a free people. And it fs also irsc’rid, that this meeting hails with much satisfaction the action ol tlio nieiiiliers of the Nova Scotia Legislature, and also of tbe Nova Scotia members of the Do minion House ot Commons who have signified their determination to use all constitutional means to bring about a repeal of so much ot tlio Act. of Union as refers to the Province of Nova Scotia; and also express tlie hope that the Legislature of this Province, ini mediately utter assembling for despatch of business, will take the necessary steps to bring this subject liefore the Government and Parliament of Great Britain. The rvlls jurist insisted upon by tlie speak ers were those of a tin an del character; and statistics were introduced to show the heavy ' burden - already incurred under Confederation, and the probability that these would increase rather than diminish w ith time. Mr. Howe made a speech which, if moie moderate in statement than some of the ethers, w as cer tainly as convincing and influential. He rec ommended moderation and good temper in the appeal for Nova Scotia's release. “ Until the tiial of tlie next three or four jiionths is made, peace and order must be maintained as of old; the old flag must float above us still, and be revered and resjiected until we have received our answer. Should the answer from the mother country be unfavorable, it may be asked what should we do then 1’ He was hardly prepared to say. Then, without doubt, would come a season of trial and deep anxiety. Hi? was satisfied, however, trout lot ty days sitting at Ottawa that the scheme could never prffve acceptable to Nova Scotia. If the British Parliament should say we must lie down, and bow in bondage to Canada, then it would be a serious affair, aud a conucil of war would liave to tie called to consider our next action.’’ ft is this “next action" which is likely to prove tlie stuff of which the Nova Scotian Opposition is made. There is scarcely a pos sibility of the impeiial Parliament acceding to their request; and when the refusal come* they will find themselves face to face with the real crisis ot their fate. If they choose to staud their ground we do not see what is to prevent their liaviug their own way. It is ea tiinated that at least, nine-tenths of the popu lation will support the petition for repeal. In face of a unanimity like this, the Dominion and Imperial governments have no resource but in coercion. They must try that or accept the alternative of acquiescence. Tlie extreme gravity of the situation is probably recognized by the more clear-sighted of Canadian statesmen, though they do apt openly admit it. But the Toronto Globe, al ways an ardent supporter of the Union, said lately. “ We do not yet despair of Confeder ation," a form of expression certainly not hopeful. That paper is wise cpougli to. see that if Nova Scotia goes, New Brunswick must soon follow; and with the harbors ol these Provinces lost to her Canada is cut off from the sea, and so the bottom drops cut tf the Confederation. It mns*. go to pieces at once. Probably immense efforts will be made iu the course of the next six months to con ciliate the discontented people of tlie Mari time. Provinces,and to buy up their leaders; but they have got the idea pretty well fixed in their dogged English minds that Confedera tions means for them nothing but restiictcd trade and increased taxation, and it will be hard to eradicate the notion. We shall watch the progress of tlieir allairs with interest. Letter from Yarmouth. Yarmouth, Jan. 20, ISOS. To the b'lHtor <y the Prtu: Yarmouth lias all the natural advantages tor extensive business operations or a desir able residence. It has already become a place of considerable wealth, and there are many elegant dwellings. It has the advantage of water communication with Casco Bay for vessels of large drait, and therefore affords an excellent opportunity for shipbuilding. The Royal River runs nearly through the centie, on which there are four dams within the lim its' of the town. This riv r is fed by several ponds of considerable inaauit"dc and seldom fails. The track of the Grand Ttuuk Rail road is through the centre of the town and that of the Portland & Konneliec road about a mile north o.r it, so that ample opportuni y is afforded for communication with all creat'on and the rest of uiankiDd. VtLI.AGIJ FLOUR MUX. I.oting Bueknam's Village Flour Mill is on the upper dam. It has been built about five years, sin-e which time it has beeu iu constant operation. There is one building ,->0 by 40 feel. 4 1-2 stories high; another 30by 04 feet, 3 1-2 stories, a store house 40 feet square, a cooper shop and count mg room. About 10,000 barrels oj dour arc made, and 75,000 bushels ol corn ground annually. This mill is admirably arranged lor the business, having all the modern improvements and latest macbinety tor raising and distributing the grain, grinding and packing the flour. Ac. Mr. A, L. Loring is principal owner and busi ness mauager, to whose industry aud business tact the success oi the enterprise is vety much indebted. TAPER MAM OK ACTOR T. On the same dam is the paper manufacto ry of Mr. Little, which l* employed mainly In making news paper. One or more paper* in this eity it supplier! from that mill, aud tever ul of the Uostou papers.

There is also a saw mill doing a large business, and a wuoienvarn manufactory. There is about 07 feet fail from the upper to the lower dam, the distance of about a mile, so that there could he a contin uous row of mills the entire distance, with water enough to run them most of the year.

To the Kditor of the Treet: For the past tew days the political cauldron baa been in a state of uunsnnl agitation. The action of the Senate in reinstating Secretary Stanton has at last brought matters to a focus, and his mafesty A. J. has been handsomely caught in the very trap he set for Congress. Those who have been disgustful of Geu. Grant's sympathy with tbe Republican party; and have been importuning him for a formal declaration of his sentiments, can now see, from his conduct in this transaction, where his sympatbira lie and to which party he belongs. Day before yesterday, as you have already been informed by telegraph, Mr. Stanton qui etly resumed his dudes aud was at mice rec ognized as Secretary of War by all the officers connected with the Department. Since that tinn- the wildest rumors have filled the lily, in regard to the President's plau ol action. It was given out yesterday, ou seemingly good authority, that he would immediately order the arrest and trial liy court-martial of Gen. Grant for disobedience of orders iu surrender ing the office to Mr. Stanton; aud beta to that effect were freely offered by seine of the pres ident's sympathizers. That be will not recog uize Mr. Stuntou as a member of his Cabinet '- certain, aud a message toC ingress announc ing -urh intention is said to have been already prepared and is hourly‘expected. A large number of the Republican Congressmen called on .Mr. Stuntou yesterday aud in the course el the conversation he remarked that "lie should not leave the War Department until he was forcibly ejected." A letter has also is eu pre sented to bim signed by fifty or more members of the House, requesting him not to re-den. When the President learned of his occupation of his former post, he remarked that “If the officers of the War Department wi-b to tar nish Mr. Stanton with office room in thst building, he bad no particular objections," and on yesterday ho issued orders that no com munication with the War Department be sent or received through Sir. Stanton, who would muter no circumstances be recoguized as See ret try of Wav or a member of tbe Cabinet." tin the whole, matters seem to be in a mighty bad muddle, aud what with the dogged obsti nacy of the President, the pluck of Rtantnu, the cool determination of Grant and Ihern resolve of the Senate, there seems to W a pros pect ahead for a big fight or a foot race. Dar ing the se««!ou or the Cabinet, yesterday, Generals Grant and Shermau called on Mr. Johnson and had a long private interview with him, the purport or result of which have not yet transpired. It is no! true as stated in many of the Democratic papers that the first cmcuu act ol Mr. Siautou was to draw j*ome &1,W)0 salary, covering lire time since his sus pension. On the contrary lie refuses to re ceive any compensation tor that period ami contends that he is not entitled to it. Neither is it true that Gen. Grant violated the confi dence of the Prcsideut.iu surrendering the of fice to Stanton. The fact is that the Presi dent hud endeavored to persuade Gen. Grant that it was his duty to retain possession of the ofiioe until relieved by his order; but instead nf fit niliitiu-inrr in fkiu vir.nr us*' *1.. .... U .. ...It ed ou Saturday last and distinctly informed him that ‘‘iu case the Seuate should reinstate Mr. Stanton he should not feel authorized to act longer as Secretary n| War." Gen. Grant himself nukes and authorizes this plain de nial of the statement which has been circulat ed about his action in the matter, and the fact that he aud the President still continue ou friendly terms sufficiently refutes tbe slaudcr. FEBNANDYWCD ON TUB KAMTAOE. The accustomed order aud trauquility of the proceedings of tbe House were considerably disturbed by the bcll.gereut demonstrations ol the‘‘distinguished gentleman from New York, Mr. Wood," snd for a time it seemed not im probable that the professional services of his equally distinguished colleague * the Hou. Mr. Morrissey” Would be called into requisi tion. The wrath of the Hou. Feruaody has liecn so luug bottled up that he was unable longer to coutain it aud on yesterday the cork popped out with a most delightful fizz; to his own very great relief aud the entertaimeut ot the “ Hour and galleries.” As but hall of his tirade had been delivered when he was called to the bar of the House to answer for words spokcu in debate, the country uuy calculate on another installment as soon as his modesty has sufficiently recovered from the effects of the Speaker’s reprimand. Feruandy seemed to regard the censure as a mere farce and walk ed to the speaker’s desk with as much dignity and suavity as though he were, about to ad dress a mob of “ping uglies” in the purlieus of the Five Points. During the excitement the Sergcant-at-Arms sent for the Capitol Po lice force, and they were all ready to march in and Se ttle things had the occasion required it. TBE 8UUHATT THIAL. flic District Attorney announced in Ihe Criminal Court yesterday that he has consult ed Surratt’s counsel—Mr. Merrick—in regard to fixing an early day for the trial, and that ar rangements would probably be made to have it take place sometime next month. Surratt is still confined in the Washington jail, and lias been gradually improving in health since his first trial. There seems to lie hut little probability of liis conviction, even if his com plicity in the assassination should be proved. It is impossible to get a Jury hereon which there will not be at lea-tone man who at heart sympathises with the “lost cause,” and who could easily “entertain a reasonable doubt ol his guilt." He is visited daily by his brother and si-ter and supplied by sympstliixing friends with such little Inxnries as serve to mitigate the hard-hips of his confinement. rEllS'.VAL.
