Mexico niul Mnximilian nro tlio nb
fioiliing toiics of tlio tiny. A lew He
imMicnii imjiorriniitl noarlynll tlio Dcm
ocrntio ones, of tlio Atlantic coast, linvc,
during tlio last tlireo or four week-,
filled the nir with doleful lamentations
over tho death of tho Arch Duko Max
imilian, nud hurled upon the Mexican
Government tho most furious anathe
mas, because, obeying tho stern di
innntlts of justico, they executed a for
eign Prince, who, backed by foreign
troops, invnded Mexico to destroy tho
government nnd rob the people of their
liberties. They seem to devote their
best, energies to tho fostering of feel
ings of enmity toward Mexico, nnd tho
mm nud desiro of many of tho Demo
cratic journals is to bring on nwnnvith
with Movico. Kilbustering expeditions
nro now being organized and fitted out
iu Now York nnd New Orleans, for the
purpose of avenging the death of tho
royal .Prince. Maximilian's history is
brief nud romantic, nnd it is not stniugu
that ho should hnvo n few admirers
nud desperate followers nmoni; the
nristocmtsuntl mbol Democrats. ICcV'
jtheless, in truth nnd iu fact, he as
much deserved death as nny of the 1-
ninus, nud iu history ho must rank
with Lopez nud AVnlker, Ho enmo
from Kurope at tho bidding of Nnpo
Icon III, for the nvowed purpose of be
ing Emperor of Mexico. Ho had noth
ing to recommend him to the people
of that country but "fire nnd hword,"
which was no more than Walker had
when ho invaded Nicaragua, or Lopes
when he mado n dash ou Cuba. Our
hearts may griuve over the commission
of a willful and malicious murder, but
cannot but acquiesce iu tho justice ol
tho execution. It should bo just so
with Maximilian, nud tho American
press should bo tho last to call the ex
ecution of this man n murder tho very
last to condemn iu bitter terms tho
harsh, but just, enforcement of the
Monroe Doctrine. The United States
contributed largely to that end, by the
great moral vttpporl she has given the
(mwniiiH'iit ul JuuiVA
Maximilian. Irom the Livlnning, wn
i t'uiiiihrvd no ally 1 the rebellion; so
it is not strange tluit tiiey unouiii 110
tfiru to luiwi u war with Mexico, and
this should be oiiough to u urn Union
journals against giving aid nud com
fort toauyol lnsiiieiid. It they could
bring about a war with Mexico, those
who have been ruined by the Into re
iM,jon ftmi , t0o Inzv to try to mend
J:.tte.ed fortunes by honest la-
bor, expect to rejileuisli their empty
purses with tho sjioils of Mexico. If
tlioy could do it, they nro more than
willing to break tho Sovcnth Com
mandment of of the Lord.
These journals may induco a fowdes-'
pcrate, restless adventurers, like Lopez,
and Walker, to mako war, but the gov
ernment of tho United States is too
just nnd too generous to strike blows
against tlio penco nnd prosperity of a
sister Kepublio without just cause.
Many of tho Domocratio journals that
aro now clamoring ngainsj, Mexico, iu
1801, mado tho bamo unholy and un
just charges against tho United Statos.
Tlioy wore unheeded then by tho loyal
masses of tho American people, and
those same pcoplo will lend an indiffer
ent ear now to tlio wild, reckless and
inflamatory statements of that part of
tho American piess which, blinded by
that
.v- -r ! r i.i
government -uio cumupwu vi ugiiv
and of liberty,
"The homo of the bravo and tho land of the
free."
Tho filibusters now preparing to in-
vndo Mexico, may organize, but if they
go to Mexico they will go on a fool's
errand, and reap a felon's just reward.
ItnCONSTKUCTlOX
Is progressing finely. Ono by one the
"outlicrti papers, for reasons peculiar
to thetnielve?, come over to the sup-,
port of tho Congressional plan. He-
cently the New Orleans Crescent, n1
rebel organ, npologixes for General '
Sheridan and favors submission to tho
requirements of Congress because j
V. UIIV;i V , iHMI lltlb .rfllHlV, llll' I, IIUl'SI
the-South. It srtys :
It appears thnt General Grant did
not regard tho order of tho President,
communicated through tho adjutant
general ol the army, embodying the
opinion of Mr. Stanbery, as having the
force of nu ordinary military order;
and iu consequence instructed General
Sheridan to continue to enforce his
own construction of the military bills.
Gen. Sheridan, then, is not to blame
for not having conformed to the wish
es of tho President on the matter of
regWrntion. It is not likely that Gen.
Grant will ever be called to account
for his advice to Geo. Sheridan, consid
ering the netion of Congress during tlio
piesent session. Congress now rules
this country or nt least tho Southern
part ol it and the sooner wo make ui
our minds to submit to that rule with
equanimity, the better it will be fornll
ol us. There is little advantage to bo
derived from an attempt to rebist nn
irresistablo force.
This irresitablo force gives tho irre
pressible Huiiibo tlio privilege of
a von:.
This changes tho nets of tho would
bo masters, aud the whole phraseology
of the Southern press. Nothing but
nbuso wns heaped upon tho whole ol
tho colored race, until Congress said
that colored men should vote. Now,
their former nnistors, nnd tho conserv
ative or Democrntio newspapers, teach
that the black man who votes tlio Had
ical ticket is a dirty nigger, an mining
oiitaug, a gorilla, n chimpanzee, a con
temptible contraband, n pliant tool of
selfish tricksters, n God-forsaken wretch
aud a creature upon whom the curse
of Canaan rests. Hut the black man
who votes for his "dear old master"
who used to tie him, or his wife, or his
child, nud "wollop" them until their
backs were a quivering mass of raw
and bloody flesh nud shapes his po
litical action according to tlio advice
of "his best friend," who peihaps part
ed himself and members of his family
at thu auction block, or violated the
chastity of his (laughter, is a highly
respectable person of color, a conserva
tive though a newly enfranchised cit
izen and nn object worthy of kind
consideration nud nUectionnto euthtisi
nsm. Thus tho "Ethiopian is made to
change his skin" the kinks jerked out
of his hair iu a manner most bewil
dering to those not behind the scenes.
Since he has been declined n voter,
the oonscrv at iwshnu-generally used
bhiruey iiihtnad of abuse, in order that
they may secure his vote to accom
plish their selfish cuds; hence, as a gen
eral rule, the colored people enjoy coin-
parativo peace iu the neighborhood of
their old masters.
fui:i. DOUOI.AH,
Of Now York, pathetically describes
the meeting of his brother aud himself,
who had been a slnvo nearly fifty years.
"Tho meeting with my biother," said
he, "ufler nearly fifty years separation,
is an event altogether too affecting for
words to describe. How unutterably
accursed is slavery ! and how unspeak
ably joyful are tho results of its over
throw ! Tlio search now being made,
and tho happy reunions now taking
placo all over the South, between pa
rents nud children, brothers and sisters,
after years of cruel separation and sor
row, furnish a subject of tho deepest
pathos."

One of those bores who nro always
suggesting disagreeable- things, says :

The following incident is so beauti
ful and touching thnt it should bo read
in every household iu tho country. It
develops tho truo nctivo principle of
kindness. How many an erring mortnl,
making his first step in crime, might
bo redeemed by tho exercise of this sub
limo trait in tho character ol tho kind
hearted Quaker:
Villiam Savcry, nn eminent minister
among Quakers, was a tanner by trade.
One night a quantity ot hides wero sto
len from lib tannery, nnd ho had rea
son to believe that tho thief was. n quar
relsome, drunken neighbor, called John
Smith. Next week the following ad
vertisement appeared iu tho country
newspaper:
" Whoever stole n quantity of hides
ou tho fifth of this month, is hereby in
formed that tho owner 1ms a sincere
wish to bo his friend. If poveity tempt
ed him to this false step, the owner will
keep thu whole transaction secret, and
will gladly put him iu tho way of obtain
ing money by means more likely to
bring him peaco of mind 1"
This singular adveitisement nttract
ed considerable attention; but thu cul
prit alone knew who had mado tho
kind oiler. When ho rend it his heart
melted within him, nud he wns filled
with sorrow for what ho hail done. A
few nights afterwards, ns the tanner's
family wero nbout retiring to rest, they
heard n timid knock, nud when the
door was opened there stood .loliu
Smith, witli n load of hides on his shoul
ders. Without looking up ho said;
" 1 have brought these back Mr. S.ivcry,

" Wait till I cnu get u lantern nnd I
will go with thee," ho replied; "then
perhaps thou wilt come iu nud tell mo
how this happened. Wo will see what
can bo done for thee."
Ah soon ns they wero gone out, his
wifo prepared some hot collco, nud
placed pies nml meat ou tho table.
When they returned from the barn she
said, " Neighbor Smith, I thought some
hot supper would be good for thee."
He turned his back towards her and
did not speak. After leaning against
the llrc-plnco iu silence a low moments,
he i-aitl iu a choked voice: " It is the
first time I ever stole anything, nud I
have felt very bad about it. I inn
sure I didn't think once that I should
como to what I urn. Hut I took to
drinking nud then to quarrelling.
Since I began to go down hill every
body has given mo a kick nml you nro
tho first man that litis otl'ered mo a help
ing hand. My wilu is sickly nud my
children starving. You havu sent
them many a meal. God bless you;
but yet I stole your hides. Hut I toll
you the truth when I say is it tho first
tinio I ever wns a thief."
" Let it bo tho last, my friend," re
plied William Savcry. "Tho secret
lies between ourselves. Thou art k til 1
young, nnd it is in thy power to make
up for lost time. Promise mo that
thou wilt not drink any iutoiicating
liquor for u year, and I will employ
tlieo to-morrow on good wages. Tlio
little boy can pick up stones. Hut cat
u bit now, and drink some hot coffee;
perhaps it will keep thco from craving
anything stronger to-night. Doubtless
thou wilt find it hard to abstain at first;
but keep up a bravo heart for tho saku
ot thy wife nud children, and it will
soon become easy. When thou
need of coffee, tell Mury, and sho
glvo it to thco."
Tho poor fellow tried to eat
hast
will
and
drink, but tho food seemed to choke
him. After vainly trying to compose
his feelings, ho bowed his head on tho
table and wept fieely, After a while
ho ato and drank, and his host parted
with him for the night with the friend
ly words, "Try to do well, John, thou
will always find a friend iu inc."
John entered into his employ the next
day, uud remained witli him many
years, a sober, honest and steady man
Tho secret of tho theft wns kept be
tween them; but after John's death
William Savory sometimes told tho
story, to prove that evil might bo
overcome with good.

A Strmiito Story.
Strango stories havo from time to
time been related of jewels, rings, nnd
watches, found in llslics when caught
nnd subsequently returned to their
owner. Whether or not theso sto
ries bo true, I of course cannot say,
but I vouch for tho entire truth of tho
following, related by the, clergyman,
himself the hero of tho story to;U won
dering circle of listcnent, .Though
expectant of something strango ns n
Annie, they were by no means prepared
for the actual denoument.
' It was ono summer twilight," said
he, " thnt Blnuding ou n bridge which
spanned n veil-known trout stream
near my father's house. I won from
tho girl I had long loved tho promise
to bo my wire. Sho was something of
n coquette, and I had n rival in tho
Held; so, to mako tho matter stiro to
myself, nnd evident to him nnd others,
I drew from her hand a ring which sho
had olteti declnred she would give only
to her betrothed lover, nnd trnnslored
it to tny own finger.
"It was my mother's engagement
ring," Baid she, half in earnest and half
playfully, "and there is n superstition
connected with it. So long ns you
keep nud wear it, wo aro engaged; but
if you lose or part with it in nny wny,
the engagement is broken. So tako

"Somo weeks nfter sho went away
on n visit, nud then my great consola
tion wnso haunt thnt favorite spotou
thu bridge whieli had been our trystiug
place. Once, leaning over tho railing
and thinking of our betrothal, 1 took
from my finger tho treasured ring, and
gazed fondly ou the initials hers as
well as her mother's: engraven within.

"Only u lover under similar circum

lost treasure; anil my groat dread wan
her returning homo nnd Uniting tho
ring missing. Yet strango to say I
had a singular presentiment or intui
tion that 1 should some day recover it
thohgh by what means I had no

"Not long after, Ashing iu tho sumo

I fell to thinking of my lost ring. If 1

drew nut n flue largo trout. At Iho
sight ol him tho thought suddenly uud
unaccountably (lushed into my mind
that the ring my lost ring was to
bo fuiind within his body. I cannot
account for tho feeling, but I know
that it was heightened into almost n
conviction when, upon grasping thu
victim, I perceived a singular protuber
ance, and fell Ihero beneath his skin
something like n hard, foreign sub
stance. "I seled my pooket clnsjcknlfe.

more so than ii I had left my victim to

his head, nud then, with n trembling

"No, my dear. Only n picco of

thu 'JUil of Juno Gen. Grant sent tho
following order to Geo, Ord:
(ienerul A copy of your Anal in
structions to tho board of registration,
of Juno 10, 1 807, is just received. I
entirely dissent from the views con
tained in paragraph I. Your views
us to the duties of legist rars to register
every man who will tnko tho required
oath, though tlioy may know tho appli
cant perjures himself, is sustained by
the views of tho attorney-general. My
opinion is that it is the duty of tho
board to see, ns far ns lies iu their pow
er, that no unnuthoricd person is al
lowed to register, To Beouro this, reg
istrars should bo allowed to administer
oaths aud exiiiiilno witnesses. Tho
law, however, makes the district com
manders their own interpreters of their
power and duties under itf nud in my
opinion tho attornoy general or myself
can no moro than givo our opinion as
to tho meaning of tho law; neither can
enforce their viows against tho judg
ment ot thoso made responsible for tho,
faithful oxeoution of tho law tho dis
trict commanders. Very respectfully
