Jrom the 7W6uh,
Tlio President, bj an order dated December
H2, bn dissolved the Military Commis-don, h"hl
at IHclimond, for tbe trlitl of Dr. Jamos L. Wnt
aou. TUo prisoner, wbo recently murdered a
negro in Bockbridpo county, Virginia, lias
' therefore been discharged from custody, and Is
secured from any punishment. The facts In this
case deserve to be universally known.
A few weeks ago, a neirro, named Echols
drove violently against a carriage l i which tho
family of Dr. YVation were rldinrr, breaking it,
but inurinir no one. The next day Watson went
in i-earch of the nec;ro, found him at work 1n a
iitdd, and attempted to boat him. Echols re
and ran, pursued by Wation, who threat
ened to shoot him unless he stopped. Ei-no 1
preferred flight to a struggle, and Watson drew
a imo. and dhot-.hfurj tiirougri the body. . He
died In a tew hours. Tut murdeier then sur
rendered him-clf, and his trial in the County
itpd in entire acauittal. General
tseliotield, before whom these tacts werebrouqht,
isuei an order, under authority of the Act of
Connies of Julv 1G, 18C(i, lor a Military Com-ini.-sion
In hiebmond, and on tho 19tu instnnt
Watcoii was brought beore it. His conviction,
hud not the President Interfered, was certain,
lor he confessed that he had committed the
crinip. , ,
Mt. Johnson, in dissolving: the Commission,
chose to accept the recent decision of the Su
preme Court, that military trial of civilians In
the loyal States s iUVpal, as his authority. His
Cabinet, it Is said, nerees with him. This Inter
pretation will surprise no one, though it would
have been better had a test case been submitted
to the Supreme Court from the Rebel States.
We ate not yet prepared to admit that Virginia
and Iudianu stand in equal relations to the
(iovcrumeiil. But any argument on this point
is superseded by the lnct that the President's
action has taken from the freedmen their lust
hope of protection, from their oppressors the
last fear of puniment, Watson killed this
neero brutallv. It was a murder without a
shadow of Justification, and freely admitted and
boasted of as au act of courage. Yet the civil au
thorities of Virginia acquitted him of any crime,
and virtually excluded the wantou killing of a
ueirio from the category of murder. He may
kill another to-morrow, and there is u power
that will punish the act. This is not an excep
tional case; in Georgia, 30(1 freedmen have been
killed bince Chri-tmas, 1865, and but three of
their muiderers have been punished by the
civil courts. 0ir correspondent at Savannah
wiites, under date of December 19: ' It would
be just as easy o pet a jury in the State ot Sew
York to con vict a pcison of manslaughter for
(.hooting a mad dog, as to get a jury of Rebels
to ttnd a Rebel guilty upon a charge of killing a
negro." Sweeping as this assertion may be,
the escape of Watson is an instance of its truth,
as the New Orleai.s massacre, the acquitta' of
Peri in, in Columbus county, Georgia, of tbe
murder of iloury Thomas, and hundreds of
other cases, ate proofs. The civil courts in the
Rebel States positively refuse to try such cases,
while in the few cases where the fear of mili
tary interference has induced them to' parade
the form of duty, the jury haa acquitted the
prisoner without the pretense of deliberation.
No more nted be nail; we may simply and that
the construction which President Johnson puts
upon the decision of tho Supreme Court,
whether it be right or wrong, has left the freed
men without a particle of legal protection. Toe
whole pubject must come before Congress,
which will not, we may hope, neglect its duty
Ot iimnedlale action.
Old Greek Heroism Ilevlvctl lu Cnuilla.
from the Herald,
Our Athens correspondent has given, In a
letter recently published, the details of the
righting and indiscriminate slaughter of Turks
and Greek Christians at the convent of Area
dion. This convent, which is situated in a
strong position in the department of Rethym
nos, was occupied by five hundred and forty
persons, three hundred and forty-three of whom
were women and children, leaving one hundred
an l ninety-seven men capable of bearing arms.
On the 20th of November Mustapha Pacha leit
Ills headquarters at Eplscopi, with twelve thou
sand men, aud ndvanccd upon the convent, de
manding the surrender of the gairisou. The
refusal of tbe Cretans was followed by a
tremendous fire from the Turkish artillery, and
ihe bombardment was kept up for two days and
Dighia.
At length, a bieach having been effected, the
Turks, who had sulTered heavy losses, poured
into the court of tbe convent. Barricading
themselves in the surrounding colls, the Chris
tians bravely resisted for six hours, and ttien
desperately resolved to tire the powder maga
zine. A monk applied the match, aud a tre
mendous explosion killed two thousand Turks
on the spot, wounding large numbers besides,
Hud destroybig all the Christiana except thirty
sine men, and about feisty women and children.
The latter were taken prisoners and carried off
to Retbymnoe. Among upwards of a thousand
wounded Turks was a brother-in-law of Mustapha
Pacha. The Turkish army Is reported to rwva
been sorely dispirited by tbe disaster.
This incident m tbe Caudian revolution
should, on the other hand, encourage the Cre
tans aud enlist in their behalf the sympathies of
tbe whole Chnsiian world. It roveals tho fact
that tho old heroic spirit still survives, to
which, according to Herodctus, the Greek Dctna
ratus bore testimony when askel by Xerxes,
alter the latter had surveyed the immense hosts
wherewith bo was about to invade Greece by
laud and eea, whether the Greeks would presume
to resist his power. "You may depend upon it,"
replied Demaratus, "that your propositions
which threaten Greece with servitude will be
rejected, and it all the other Greeks side with
you against mem, me L,aceau'uionian9 will
enttage you in battle. Make no inquiries as to
their number; for if they shall have but a thou
sandmen, or even fewer, they will tight you."
The samu spirit animated Leonidas, of whom
Plutarch relates that when asked how he dared
to eucounter'so prodigious a multitude as com
posed the army of Xerxes 'with eo few men, he
replied: "It you reckon by numbers, all Greece
is not able to oppose a small part' of that army;
but if by courage, the number I have with me
is sufficient." To Is waa the spirit which fired Leo
nid as and histhree hundred Spartans when they
deiended the pang oi Thermopylie and immor
talized its name. All are familiar with the
Humorous instances In which, this spirit again
broke forth gloiiously during the seven years
struggle of modern Greece against Turkish
oppression. Prom 1821 until tho battle of
Navarlno In 1827, when the Turco-Egyptian
fleet annihilated by the combined squad
rons waa ot England, France, and Russia, this re
markable contest was carried on by the Turks
with such atrocious barbarity, and by the
Creeks with such hereic bravery as to engage
the sympathy aud the active interference oi ail
Christian nation, it la a shame that sym
pathy and interference should be withheld from
the Cretans who are now outplaying the same
heroism In struggling agaimt the same tyranny,
A remonstrance at least should be made at
nee by the United States Government now,
far more emphatically than in 1821, one ot the
great powers of tbe earth against Turkish
cruelties And ravages in Candla, which palu
fully remind ns of tbe blood shed at Conaiaa
tirople. the execution of the patriarch, the
massacres cf Scio. aad the mher horrible scenes
ot the Greek revolution. The universal feeling
awaked in America at that timo was eloquently
exploded by Webster, Olnr, and Eerett. and In
memorable verso bv Kitz-Gtccne HallecK. We
are glud f lenrn'that Dr. Howe, of B iston,
who, like Lord; Itron, devoted bin self perso
nally to tl e Hellenic cause, has net on fool a
project for the immediate relief of stttlercrs in
the Caiidian revolution.
KurIIsIi "Flnanclug."
From the Timet.
The published statement of Mr. J II. Gurney,
lnte of the firm of Ovcreud, Gurney A Co.
(Ilmited(. together with the proceedings lu the
Court of Bankruptcy, present a significant an 1
at the came time, deplorable picture of tho
system of English "Dnancinr." There is hardly
a silting of this Court of Bankruptcy In which
thcro is not preseutcd a number ot applica
tions tor the "winding up" of this Or that com
pany, financially prostrate, and unable to carry
ou its-operations any longer. Without troubling
our readers with any details, a much that was
of any interest on this aide of the water has
nlroHdv appeared in our columns, we only lake
occasion to point out the rotteuuese to which
English financial corporations hare reached
within tbe last ten years. ,
That Euglaud ii wealthy, ierliapa the wealth-
iest couutiy in accumulated capital iu the
world, no one will or can deny. But the
mangeuient of this capital In its scattered opera- I
lions, coveiiug the whole globe, is anything but
healthy. The statement of Mr, Gurney that hjs
hOute by -a tew yours-business, nnJera ntw ,
management biuce 1857, bad actually sunk over
tnur ii illimiR fttirlinu- fr mvnr tvpntv million.
of dollars in "exceptional operations,'' and that
the partners tor a numbor of years did not
divide tbe profits of tbe house, amounting to ,
about a hundred and ninety thousand pouuds, i
or nine hundred thousand dollars, sho.vs to a
certainty that tbi concern was bankrupt as long ;
apoaslHCl. And yet it continued to enjoy the
confidence ot the public, aud did not blush j
finally to betray it. Other compauies, though
not as prominently known to the financial pub- 1
lie, bavo done no better, and now, whon confi
dence is utterly wiped out, they nil, oue after
the other, come to grief, and amplify the records
ol bankruptcy, !
We believe that these monster concerns and 1
private speculative corporations could never
have risen to the capacity of doing so much ,
mischief, had it not been for tbe huee monetary
monopoly enjoyed by the Bank of England.
There is no grea'er drawback trora which
legitimate commence sutlers in Great Britain
than this very bunk. All kinds of "com- j
panics (.limited)'' have tbe ear and purse- '
strings of the Governor and Directors'' of j
the bank at ttrclr service, and commercial
enterprise has to rely upon tnee "Com- I
pnnies"' as go-betweens for assistance in time of i
need. When money is tight, lor some reason or
other, and otteu for the reason that these very
"Companies" have tied up large amounts in !
speculative movements abroad, and when the !
time has con.e that the bank ought to succor :
the sutleriug commercial aud manutactuiing i
commuuitie", tbe bank is the tired that shuts !
down its gated, contracts its discounts, raises its
rates ot interest, aud thus gives tue rust show
ol a panic. Woeu money is abundant, wuert
everybody that needs it ij legitiuiaLe transac
tions has it or can easily get it, the batik throws
open its co tiers and distributes it with a lavish
bund amons these very "Compauies," while the
sound branches ot trade can get it only in drib
lets irom mis very institution, xuac tue rJnelisn i
people, fo clisely wedded to free trade in every- i
thing, should 60 loug have submitted to this J
monopoly, Is really a subject of wonderment. i
It is not much better in France, though the ,
Bank of France is managed with a great deal
more consideration tor the general weltare ot
tie mercantile and industrial interest?. But '
even here large 8ecutitive companies have
usuried the place of legitimate combinations of I
capital for one distinct and express purpose. I
The Credit Nobnier, for instauce, i.s rapidly
crming. to grief. Its shares, which a year ago
commanded a premium ol a thousand francs
upon five hundred, are now down to sin hun
dred and fifty. We doubt not that France will

Maxliuillaii.
From the World.
Without attempting to dicentanglo the uew
complication which has arisen in Mexico, we
may safely pronounce the recent mission, sent
to that country by our Government, a mistake.
Mr. Seward himself virtually confessed it to be
a blunder in the remonstiance he sent by tele
graph to Paris, shortly betoro the opening of
Congres0. He complained, in 6ubtauce, that,
duped by the promise of Napoleon, the Presi
dent had despatched a mission to counsel with
Juarez at the critical point of transition, and
tluis was involved in the awkward dilemma of
recalling his ministers and countermanding
their instiuctions, or supporting them In oppo
piiion to the de facto Government of thecoutitry.
Mr. Sewatd ought to have learnt, by his expert
enteinthe inception of the empire, that the
assurauccs ot the French Government needed to
be taken with some abatement. But the failure
to withdraw a division of the French troops at
tbe appointed time would have been a trivial
matter, if Maximilian had not, meanwhile, taken
it into his bead to disappoint all the expecta
tions, and disconcert all the arrangements,
w hich had been founded on his nssumed abdi
cation. Maximilian Tefuses to abdicate, and is engaged
in the attempt to reorganize tho empire ou a
popular constitutional oasis, hh piuu n, id
assembly a Congress or Convention of all tho
conflicting interests, to have laid Convention
devise a new organic law on a liberal basis, and
to transform (he empire, with the consent of
the nation, into a limited constitutional mo
narchy. If Maximilian possessed the sagacity,
add jess, and strongth of character of his impe
rial Frcuch patron, this might bo possible; but
Maximilian being what he is, it is the desperate
struggle of a proud man against the destiny
which threatens to degrade him from the rank
ot sovereigns to that ot subjects, aud consign
him to history as the most signal failure ol tho
age in which he lived.
But, for the present, our Government, by its
indiscreet haste and its unwary reliauce ou
French promises, Is placed in a position which
cannot be considered as enviable. By arrestrng
Ortega, by snubbing Santa Anna, by bullying
Maximilian, by a resentful remonstrance to
Napoleon, and, though last not least, by sending
a great soldier to support our envoy, our Gov
ernment has contrived to do all that any Gov
ernment could do to combine and concentrate
all the internal and all the external opposition
to Juartz. The affronted Mexican leaders must
have influence enough in the country to disturb
Juarez, or our Government would not have
thoucht it necessary to obstruct them. Tho
seudiiw. of Geueral Sherman may be too easily
construed m a military menace to please the
great body of tho nation, which aspires rather
at independence . than a change of foreign
masters.
Maximilian must naturally resent It as an
attempt to put him in his cofliii before he is
dead, and the Church party is understood to be
adverse to the United States. All parties aud
interests In Mexico, aud all parties and Interests
out of Mexico, except the supporters of Juarez,
have thus been furnished with Iresh motives for
resisting American tntluence. A statesman skil
ful and euergetio enough to manipulate and
combine these elements of opposition might
perhaps support himself on the throne. Each
factious Mexican leader would prefer his own
chances of ascendancy to the continuance of
the empire; but as between the emp ire and
Juarez, he might find it easier to submit to a
monarch than to a rival. But Maximlliau does
not possess the vigor or the statecralt to work
up such a situation. - ' '
Our Government could not do otherwise tuau
support Juarez: but it was not necessary to
take any hasty, ill-judged steps. Till Maximilian
was fairly out of the country, it would have
been better to bave connived at the efforts of
the Santa Anna and Ortega factions against
Maximilian, than to have turned them against
Juarea by indignities and provocations. Tue
sending of a great soldier, with fame enough to
ovcrt-lmdow an1 eclipse the Minister he nccim
panbd, could ro cu-ilT be interpreted a a
n cnace againot the independence of the eo in
trv, that our Government ouatit not have ttir
nishid such a handle to the Church and 1m-
rieiinl faction. II menace, cither express or
mplied. i undignified and offensive, an. I if not
followed up, contemptible. The seudiui of
General Sherman may not have been meant as
a menace, but since it was susceptible of that
Interpretation, It was, so long as Maximilian
remained in tho country, a mistake. Such
botching Is a new demonstration that the State
Department Is in incompetent bauds, nufl that
tho removal of Mr. Seward has been by far too
long delayed.
