A NOTE FROM OUR NEIGHBOR.
Cuba Comes Back at Us.
She Talks War.
New York, January It!.—The Herald's special reports that the Spanish Government has sent out a diplomatic note in reply to the American circular on Cuban affairs. The reply was quite belligeraut in tons and takes high ground on ail quesitous taised by the United States, The note declares thet commerce between Cuba and the United States has not suffered'to any appreciable extent by the insurrection: that iustead of having been diminished, it has in reality increased and is constantly iucreas-' ing, so the United States Government had no cause for complaint and on tenable ground for its proposed action or interference in the affairs or troubles existing in Cuba. Attention is also called to the fact that many American citizens established themselves in business on the island, and, being unmolested by the Spanish Government, have gained large individual iortunes. These fortunes have not added to the' national wealth of the island, being entirely in foreign hands. The territory of the United States is a constant refuge for Cuban outlaws, who are permit ted to hatch conspiracies to the detriment and injury of the Spanish Government. In this the laws of nations are outraged. All just and equitable claims between the United States and Cuba have been amicably and fully satisfied, or ar.e in course of adjustment. Tnerefore there can be no cause for complaint on that score. The Spanish note is believed to be the work of Senor Jovelar.

Bingham, as distillers, the sum ol" five hundred dollars as a bribe, with the intent to have his action as such officer in reference to the busi» ness of the said Binghams influenced thereby. The fourth count charges that the defendant, as internal revenue gauger,made a certainfalse and fraudulent gauge of certain distilled spirits of the Binghams, in this, that as such gauger, he inspected, proved and gauged fifty casks of rectified ^spirits for the said BiDghams, containing in fact 4,107 proof gallons, and having so gauged the said spirits, he .falsely reported the said fifty packages to the collector of the first district of
Indiana, as containing 2140 proof gallons, only, the fifth count alleges that the Bingham's removed from their distillery to place other than that provided by the law, a certain quantity of distilled spirits on which the tax had not been paid, aud the defendant being an internal revenue gauger, who had kuowledge andf information of this fact, but failed to report the same to James C. Veatch, collector of that district. The seventh count charges Bingham's with having caused certain stamped packages of distilled spirits to be emptied of their contents without destroying or obliterating thereon, and that the defendant, as revenue gauger, being cogniz iut of the offence, failed to report it to the collector of the district. The ninth count alleges thut the Binghams carried on the business of distillers with intent to defraud tha United States of tha taxes on the spirits distilled by them, and that the defendant, having knowledge and information of this offense, failed to report the same to the collector of the first district. The tenth count sets forth conspiracy on the part of the Binghams and defendant to defraud the United States of taxes, imposed by law on the spirits distilled by the Binghams, while the defendant was internal revenue collector.

TRICT.
Washington. Jan. 15,—T.ie House Committee on elections to-day heard an argument in support of the assertion that the third Congressional District of South Carolina is not entitled to a Representative because it is* not constructed ofcontigous territory. One of the seven counties which is comprises does not touch any of the remaining six. No argument was submitted by Mr. Hoge, the sitting member. It was suggested that the question raised, bears upon the validicy of all other South Carolina representation, as it would appear the State has not been properly districted, and the present Legislature will have to redistrict it, and order new elections.-
The committee on elections subsequently examined the map of South Carolina, and it shows that one of the counties of the Third Congresional Distr.ct it separated by twenty five miles from the others, aud clearly violates the act of Congress. Tho committee will inquire into the matter of passing the uct of appointment by the Legislature, and if satisfied that it was done to prevent proper representation, the- Congressftoan Hoge will be unseated. The question of unseating other members from the State is not bafore the conimittee-

Mr. Edmunds from Judiciary Committee reported advi-:ely on senate bill concerning competency of witnesses in the federal courts placed on the-calender with the adverse report at a request of iugalls who introduced the bill.
Mr. West introduced a bill to amend the acts to aid in tbe construction of a railroad aud telegraph line from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean, approved July 1st,1802, and July 2d, 1874. He spoke of the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Pacific R. R. case, and liability of the Government to lose not only interest on the bonds issued to those companies,-bat the bonds also, and said that itfeemed to in that the legislative body of tbe Govern* ment should step in and adpt some measure to prevent such loss. He quoted from the acts of Congress, in regard to these companies, and said that it was evident that the United States would incur the loss unless $180,000,000 be collected from them. Heoffered a bill with the view to protect the interest of the Government, and asked it to be referred to the Committee on Railroads.
Mr. Morril, of Vermont, inquired if this bill had anything to do with the Southern Pacific R. It. Mr. West replied that the road was mentioned in tbe bill. The sargeut said the Judiciary committee of the Senate, bad already been instructed to inquire into the subject of these R. R. companies, in every way placed themselves in a defiant attitude, towards the Government, and aided-., by. certain low papers, declared any attempt made by them to pay the Government, was an attempt 0 blackmail them. He thought the Judiciary committee was a proper one to have the subject in charge, and hoped the Senator from Louisiana, and Mr. West, would consent to the bill being referred to that committee. Mr. West accepted the suggestion, and the bill was referred to the .Judiciary committee.
Mr. West also introduced a bill* to recover from the Ceutral Union Pacific R. R. Companys the bonds and coupons issued to them in excess of amount prescribed by law. He said three million worth of bonds had been issued to those company's in excess of tbe amount authorized by law. These had been jssured to the Central Pacific & Union Pacific R. R. Co.'s over 53 million three hundred thousand when the act of Congress specifically provided that 110 more than 50 millions worth of bonds should be given tbem. not only had bonds been issued iu excess of tbe amount authorized, but the Government had been paying interest on them, consequently the Government, by an erroneous construction of the law, had been deprived of over $3,000,000 worth* of bonds, aud paid interest on the excess as well, as on the $50,000,000 authorized.
Mr. Morrill said that he was in favor of the bill introduced by Senator West, but he did not desire* to be committed to the idea which he had heard of, to the effect that any amount recovered from these roads should be given to aid the Southern Pacific Railroad. The bill was referred to tho Judiciary Committee.

The prisoners in the jail, to a large number, were presented and arraigned.
In the matter of the question recently raised about the validity of the Grand Jury at present serving, the Judge has come to the coucluslon that the jury is lawfully constituted. The question of illegality has never been brought before the Criminal Court in a formal manner, but is one which has been canvassed among the members of the bar. It arose from a recent decision of the Supreme Court, which has not yet been published even in a condensed form in the newspapers. It was the opinion of the bar, based upon the decision as reported, that that the Grand Jury was not lawfully constituted. Judge Lang immediately sent for the decision in full, and after a careful examinatfon of it has come to the conclusion, as stated above, that the decision is not applicable to our Grand Jury,which, in his opinion, is lawfully constituted. This relieves the community of apprehension concerning the ugly rumor published in the GAZETTE a few days ago, and from which it seemedlikely that our Criminal Court wouldbe flooded with new trials in the cases of all the criminals sent to the penitentiary within the past few months. 2377.
