"i ' : I I .J THE PRESENT SlTUflTIOft. lecture y William Lloyd Garrison In Brooklyn. The third lecture of the rYat'-rnity course wag kbvetf d last evening at tne Acudemy of Music, Brooklyn. Probably owtna to the unclean con dition of the streets and the well known fasti diousness about their peronal comfort ol Brooklyn lecture-goer, the attendance wan quite sparse, not more than 600 persons being present when the lecture beuan. At 8 o'clock Mr. Garrison entered, accompanied by Mr. Aaron M. Powell. The latter gentleman d diessed the audience oritiy. lie referred to an error made in the adver tising of the lecture, the subject ot which it was said was "Impeachment." The proper title ot the lecture he stated to be "The Present Situation." The pentlemaii then referred to the late action of Coneress with reference to recon struction, and Haiti tbat It was due to that body not to cloe the present session failing to have impeached the President, Audrew Johnson. Having referred to the life-long combat with Blavery of the eloquent ceni-leman who was about to nd drew them, Mr. Powell Introduced the lecturer, Mr. William Lloyd Harrison. - Mr. Harrison spoke of his laitln; health, and oi his inability to do tunice to the uubjoct under consideration. There were orators, he said, who brought the hnue down. This be could not hope to do: but he might venture to hope to bring the house np elevate hi audience to a clear understanding; of a branch of the great BTibjuct tbat to-day agitated the preat heart of the nation. His consolation, he said, bad lately boen that his voice was not needed to heighten the abhorrence of slavery. Now that the fetters of the slave were broken, It was of no importance whether he spoke or re mained silent; nevertheless, where there was a wrong to be .righted be could not remain an unmoved and inactive spectator; an effort must be made by him, however feeble, to abolish tbat wrong. The question of the hour relates to reconstruction and citizenship; to the restora tion ot harmony throughout toe entire repub lic. The lecturer then proceeded to expose the state of feeling in the South, antagonistic not only to Congress, but to the people, of the North. In the North itsrlt be said there was nd serious difference of opinion among the loyal ranks as to the claims of the negro to an equal fuilrage, nor was there any serious difficulty in the way of his ootaining :i, as obtain it he assuredly would. He then described vividly the chaotic state of things in the South, the exercise of the old dominion there; blacks heing sold into tempo rary slavery for crime; schools broken up;' teachers compelled to fly the country; school houses burned down; outrage of every kind committed, in order to make the slave emanci v pation a mockery. It was argued, he said, by superficial observers, that this state of things was an evidence of the unwholesome working of the system; but this, he said, would bo indeed shallow and false reasoning. To con clude that the condition of affairs in the South was such a one that the neero suffered more persecution than when he was a slave, was . wrong. Why? Because we now learn of the brutalities as they are consummated. Tbere is nothing ot oppression tbat is not now made manifest in the light of freedom. Whereas, In the midnight gloom of slavery tbere was more cruel wrong perpetrated in a single day, of which the world without heard bo tidings, than was even vow consummated in a twelvemonth. Then there wa the daily drag ging to the slave market of hundreds, thou sands, and no voice was raised, or but few, for many years. Since the emancipation of the slaves not a half-a-dozen ca-es bad been re ported as having occurred in all the South, and yet such an indignant ontcrv arose throughout the land that be who dares repeat it knows his risk. The negroes' blood reddened the soil around the whipping-block; now, even as a convicted felon, he is not subjected to the lash. Ho (the lecturer) was not surprised at this state of things. 1 ' " When he reflected how the slave oligarchy were stripped of tb"lr pronerty; that their hopes of a successful rebellion came to naught; that tbeir vaunted prowess and pride were humbled, till they bit the dust at the feet of their con querors, and those the very men whom of all others they most detested the mudsills of the North he could not wonder that they would writhe and twist, and give vent in sounds natu ral to them of their abhorrence of the people who had thus Masted all their hope:-, much less was he astonished that tbey should still grow more reckless, stilt more daring in their desperation when the astounding proposal iwas made to transfer the negro from the whipping-block to the ballot-box. When be remembered all thi, he was not surprised at anything that might be said or done, whose obiect was to show that emancipation was a failure. By the laws ot the human mind these Rebels could not act othorwise than tbey do. Nothing he could ay could so clearly illustrate the statu of Southern feeling as that state ot mind was illustrated in the two first books yf "Paradise Lost." It was only necessary to substitute for the name ot the arch fiend himself that of Jef ferson Davis; tor Belial, Stephens; for Beelze bub, Mason; for Lucifer. Lee; tor Moloch, Toombs; for Mammon, Benjamin; for Pande monium, the South and the parallel was com- Elete. The lecturer then recited the address of atan to his legions, where they are urged by the fierce eloquence of the fiend to rise again against the "tyranny of Heaven." What a paradox, he said the tyranuy of Heaven ! Yet so it was with these men, who would now rise again against the North, at whose feet they lay conquered. Smarting under her defeat, the South would try again how most to offend her enemy. This, he said, was the very spirit of the vin dWtive Kebela to-day; they were still hanker ing after their independence, deeming, in the words ot Milton. "That to reieu is worth ambi tion, even in Hell; b tterto reign in Hell than herve in Heaven." Mr. Cariison then wentoa to read extracts from the Southern papers, illue- 1 traUve of the state ot feeling there, and replete with even thing tbat was intolerant and abusive. Tte South, he said, is just as rebellious to-day ua H was in 1600. We have still the niot arro gant people to desl with that ever God permitted to disturb the peaceful progress of a great country. If, however, he said, such revela tions as these had followed the, overthrow ot ulavery, It would have proved that the evils attributed to the system had been erossly ex aggerated, and that slave-owners had been done injuttice to. But the qnestiou is of the South, What rbould be done with her? ObvtouBly we should do by her as we would bo done by. No vengf ance should be inflicted; nothing beyond what lustice demanded and the necessities of the esse required. In view of the wors lhan pavairc manner in which , the South conducted the war, and the fact tbat the Rebellion was altogether causeless, It would not be very sur prising it maledictions to the utmost should be beard on everv baDd, but on the contrary there was no other wish throughout the North than that to repair her losses. This she could not understand, or believe. But he would let facts speak for themselves. No one had been arraigned for treason; an almost universal amnesty had been granted, r.winfrtv restored. lathe plans of recon struction nothing had been proposed for the South which the North had not been willing .H.int for themselves. The mechanics and caDitalitds of the North had gone South and sent their moaey South, to aid in developing her resources, ars wmnuunuu. "ecu 'j. ...iiova thtilr sufferings, but these had ...ri bv contumely instead of thanks. Er". EST. m the North to supply the South b'ack he lauded as the climax of huotai nuensr nimliy. And are all these, be asked, proof of the enmity of the Noith ngninst the Bantu t ; In answer to the question, "Want is the exact statns of the' Southern States ot the Ameri can Union ?" be said that no historical prece dents could be found to help to a right conclu sion, nor could help be found In the Constitu tion. The care was anomalous.' The Roman maxim. "The welfare ot the people is the su preme law," was never more applicable. He ridiculed the impudent claim of the South to the Constitutional right of having Senators and Representatives in Congress, after having, vol untarily and forcibly severed themselves ior four long years from all connection with the Union. These who uphold this doctrine were to b1 ranked with the enemies of the Union. (Applause 1 He then couriered the theory that the rebellious States had relapsed into the territorial condition, and showed it to be unte-. nable. They were States in ruins. Hence they had to be reconstructed; yes, reconstructed was the very word, from the foundation to the top stoae. ';: ' " ' But now, he asked. Shall liberty be secured, as well as proclaimed? ' Considering the present rendition of the South, her disloyulty and her hatred of the negro and the North., if left to her self, the worst consequences might be predicted lynch law, assassination, and civil war would do their bloody work. The inevitable conclu sion was that the South must be kept under the guardianship ol the Union for an indefinite period. Her promises and pledges to be loyal were not to' be trusted.- He said that this was the view taken by Congress in its late recon struction measure' But what would this avail so long as Andrew Johnson was allowed to occupy'the Presidential chair? His imDeach ment was the most important step to be taken. To him the Rebel forces looked as their leader. Let Justice be executed upon lnra, or let those parts of the Constitution which relate to im peachment or punishment for treason be blotted out, The people were ready for it. The Judiciary Committee ot Congress had been ordered to report upon the subject, and he believed they would report in favor of impeach ment. TheL let this be the first measure taken up by the new Congress. Some timid, good men shrink from so hazardous an experiment. Was it expedient? Impeacbment.be said, was law ful, mid just as expedient as lawful. He referred to the selfish cry that impeachment would bring on a financial panic. This was to be pennv wise and pound foolish. It was blind and foolish to suppose that prosperity could bo reached by cowardice. Liberty was a god, and in propor tion as we were true to her we should be blessed in our pocket and in our store. That her reign might be secure, she demanded the impeach ment and removal of her most malignant and daneerous foe.

Hanging of Martin W.Bates, at Burltn game, Kansas, for the Murder of Abel Palley Youthful Depravity The Cul prit only Nineteen Years Old, Etc. Chicago, February 2G.i-Marttn W. Bates was hanged at Burlingame, Kansas, on the 20th Instant, for the murder of Abel Palley. The execution took place in the Court House at that place, at noon of that day. The Sheriff ot the county, his deputies, aud the prisoner's spi ritual advisers assembled at the Court House. The prisoner was summoned, and, cross in hand, and leaning upon the 'arm. of his con fessor, the Rev. Father Ferrier, bowed his head, and spoke at considerable length, to the crowd. He opened by saying : Dear Friends:! am about to appear in judgment. It I have wronged or grievously injured any of you 1 hope you will forgive me, as I feel that God, for Christ's take, has for given me. ne then addressed hinlself to the young, exhorting them to obey their parents, tracing his own sorrow and imneudina punish ment to disobedience of his father, and wound up by saying: I hope to meet you all in a better land in Heaven. Adieu.. The prisoner betrayed no emotion on behold ing the gallows, but at the request ot Father Ferrier knelt near the toot of the scaffold stairs, facing the hulter. The last consolations of religion were then offered to the doomed man. The Rev. J. B. Orwlg (Protestant) read a few passaees from the Scriptures, offered, up a prayer, and was going on. iurlher, when the Rev. Father interrupted him by asking Bates if it was his wit-b still to die in the Catholic faith. Bates' answer was ''Yes," kissing the crucifix. The priei-t then put his. arms around tbe pri soner's neck, and with great warmth kissed him upon both cheeks. . . ; . . . - -. ' The prisoner did not falter in ascending the stairs to the scaffold, but when upon it he again fell upon his kxees by one of the chairs, re maining about a minute. On taking his seat the priest bade him adieu. The Sheriff then ad justed the rope about his neck, and bade him good-by. liutes thanked him for his kindness, and said be hoped ..to meet them in Paradise,) where he should soon be. He then rose to his feet, the Sheriff stepped back, and Bates said, "Jems, let me be with Thee in Paradise. Dear friends, good-by." Here the Sheriff touched the spring, and the wretched man was no more, dying easy aud without any struggles. Bates wan born in Grant county, Iowa, in 1847, and consequently was only nineteen years of age. He came to Kansas in 18G0. In 18G1, when only thirteen years of age, he went back to Iowa, enlisted in the Twenty-first Missouri In- funtry, and served four years In the army. He married a girl at Emporia, Kansas, who, during his incarceration, bore him twins. He has com mitted many crimes in his brief career, and the one for which he was hanged was perpetrated tor robbery. . HEWS FROW MEXICO.

They rode to Jerez on horseback in five hours, a distance oi iouneen leagues. The Liberal army reached Jerez on the 28th. Three days afterwards the Liberal Government removed to Fresnillo, fourteen leagues north west of Zaeatecas. 'V ' ' On the 81stof January General Escobedo was within tweuty-five Jeagues ot Zaeatecas with 38U0 men, and General Auza was marching to join him with 1200 men, and Cadena, with 500 more. . . 1 . , On the same day at noon. Miration evacuated Zaeatecas, after having levied a forced loan of $100,000 on the inhabitants. He then began a forced march on Aguas Callentes. Yesterday morning (February 1), however, his army was completely routed near the hacienda of San Jacinto, by the army of General Escobedo. All the Imperial trains, artillery, and everything, with very many priseners, among whom were three brothers of Mlramon, "were captured.

Warren county, on Thursday last, on a charge ot having robbed tne Broevoit Petroleum Company's office, near Rouseville, on Cherry run, on tbs previous nipht. where they stole one hundred ano eighty dollars, and almost killed the clerk, Mr. Foley, who slept in the Otlice. They wero liandculled together, and placed on the train, for Oil City. On the way, when near lionesta, they made an excuse ot going into the closet attached to ihe car, 8nd a moment or two alter wards one ot the passengers, who was looking out of the window, saw them rolling down the bank together. They bad crawled througb the window of the closet and threw themselves down the embankment, although the train was running at, the rate of thirty miles an hour at the time. I The passenger who witnessed their uncere monious exit immediately notified the officers, who pulled the bell rope, stopped the train, and started in pursuit of their prisoners, fol lowed by about twenty passengers. In a short tin e they same in eight ot the fugitives, and several hots were tired at them, noae of which took effect; neither had they the eflect of stop ping those ttev were aimed at. After a c.hae of about a mile the prisoners were overtaken, and yet vould not stop until one of tbcm received a blow on the head from tbe butt ot one of the oflicirs' pistols. Tbey were defiant, and took , mr.tters very coolly, giving full details of their mode of escape; stating that one of them (the one who was struck by the officer) had backed out of a small saloon window, and then, with the arm tbat was manacled to his companion, had succeeded in pulling that companion through the window, head first, and both had "pone it blind" down the embankment. The snow being drifted, their fall was so broken as to do them no damage. It was, however, a daring attempt on the part of two men hand cuffed together, with the train running at the rate of thirty miles au houn The men were taken to Rousevllle, and on being arraigned before Justice Beveridge, asserted that their names were respectively Edward Stewart and William Hays. Mr. Foiey fully identified the burglars, and they were both committed. Larrisbwg Teegraph. , The Fort Kearney Massacre Report of dleneral Weasell. ; The Omaha Herald of the 15th has the follow ing: . i General Wessell succeeded Carrington in. command, and reports, under date of January 21, tbat on the 21st aay ot December last the usual wagon train, with an armed escort, left the post at 8 A. M., to procure timber for the ' saw-mill. In about an hour after their depar ture tiring was beard in the direction they had taken. The alaim was given that the train was attacked by the enemy. Captain and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel W. F. Fetterman, 18th Infantry, with a detachment of forty-nine infaitry foldicrs, was directed to proceed at once to the assistance ot the train, and to con duct it in salety. to tbe post, but not to pursue the enemy. Lieutenant Grummond, 18th Infantry, was ordered to report to Peterman with twenty seven men ot the 2d Cavalry, and to reiterate to him the orders pTcvicusly given. The de tachment immediately lelt the post, and joined the infantry. The whole force now consisted of three commissioned officers, seventy-six enlisted men, and two citizens, Messrs. Wheatly and Fisher. Instead of proceeding towards the wagon train, the detachment diverged con siderably to the right, and struck a road lead ing to the Big Horn river. This was followed about five miles, when the command was attacked in great force by the Indians. I Eight men were found dead at this point. Re treating about a mile further in the direction of the garrison, six more men were killed. A short' distance from here, and further retreat was arrested. The devoted band was surrounded on all tides, and "every man perished where he stood." Sharp firing was heard from the vicinity of the fort, continuing about three-quarters of an hour. Reinforcements were sent out under Captain Ten Eyck, of the 18th Infantry, but arrived too late to give ail to the fated detach ment. They reached the scene of the terrible massacre ..only in time to see the Indians, variously estimated to number from 1500 to 2000 mounted warriors, leaving the field in full view. This Is all that can be told of the dreadful ntinir at Phil. Kearney. The field is described by General Wessell to have presented a shock ing appearance. Officers and men were scalped, denuded ot all clothing, their bodies pierced with arrows, aud subjected to the most fiendish indignities and mutilations. The attack on tbe train Is considered to havejbeen a feint, which, unfortunately, proved a snare to the brave Fetterman, whose amtiety to punish the In dians cost his own and the life ot every man in his command. , ;., Another Ocean Cable. 1 A jiew company, called the British and American Telegraph Company (limited) has been formed in Loudon for the purpose of lay ing a telegraph cable between Falmouth, in England, and Halifax, in Nova Scotia.

J. ' Additional particulars The Wife of a . Physician Killed In Her Own House . The Servant Girl Arrested on suspicion. 'A murder ot a most atrocious character oc curred at Newmarket, Middlesex county, N. J., ai midnight on Monnay, the victim being Mrs. Lester Wallace.Coiell, wile of Dr. Corel!, a prac tis.ug physician residing at Newmarket. 1 The accounts of the circumstances attending the murder arc not very clear, but it seems that early on Monday evening two strangers called at the Doctor's residence, and inquired for him. Mrs. Corel! went to the door to see them, and informed them that her husband was out. Tbe men then leu without stating their business. Dr. Cf'Tcll returned soon after wards, but about 10 o'clock he was called up to attend a patient living at some distance, and he went, leaving no one but his wile, an infant child, and a ser vant girl in tbe houFe. i According to the girl's statement, sometime after the Doctor lelt she beard a noise in Mrs. Corcll's loom, and was proceeding thither to accertam the cause, when she was startled by a discharge of firearms. - Alarmed by this, she ran back to her own room, and snatching up the child, who slept with her, she descended the stairs, ran out the bacK. way, and crossed the intervening space between her master's house . an4 that ot Mr. Little, their nearest neighbor. As she escaped from her own room with the child she saw two men leaving Mrs. Corell's room, one of whom she thinks had large black whiskers, but in the dim light, and in the state of agitation she was then in, she was unable to identity him further. On reaching Mr. Little's residence she alarmed the family and retold what had occurred. Mr. Little ana some of tbe members of bis family returned with the girl, and proceeded to Mrs. Corell's room, which they found to be on tire, aud filled with a smoke so dense that nothing oould be seen through It. Mr. Little called on Mrs. Corel to answer him if she were present; but receiving no answer, he groped about tbe room on his hands and knees until he came in contact with Mrs. Corell's body. 8he was lying dead on the floor in her night dress, covered : with blood, which had flowed from wounds in her neck and breast. : The bed from which she had arisen was found to be on fire. Nothing in the house was dis turbed or carried away, so tar as could be ascer tained. Dr. Corell returned soon after the discovery of the murder had been made, and was com pletely prostrated by the terrible and mysteri ous calamity which had befallen him. He is unaole to Imagine any motive tor the deed, as robbery was apparently not the obiect of the murderers. On the other hand, it is thought that they intended in the first place to rob the house, but becoming alarmed by tbe fire, they left without completing their purpose. The little town in which the murder occurred was thrown into an unwonted state ot excite ment bv tbe event. Search was made for the murderers in every direction, but as no descrip tion of them could be obtained except that given by the girl, tbe probability of arresting' them is very remote. , FURTHER PARTICULARS. Conductor Doughty, of the Central Railroad, who passed through Newmarket yesterday af ternoon, retorts the following particulars con nected with the murder of Mrs. Corell, which are confirmed bv other parties : An investiga tion was commenced yesterday afternoon, when a physician from r laintieid made a post-mortem examination ofthe body. He found ten stabs on the body, head, and neck. The wound that caused death was in the neck, which severed the jugular vein. There were also visible the prints ot ionr upper teem, ana irora tne iact that no robbery had been committed, or any apparent attempt at one, the Doctor at once suspected tbe servant girl. He accordingly made an examination of her mouth, and found that she had four upper teeth exactly corres ponding with tne imorint ot the teeth on the neck of deceased. The young woman was at once taken into custody, to await the result of the Investigation. The affair had caused the greatest excitement in the vicinity, and all sorts of rumors and con jectures are in circulation. N. Y. Times. ' Laura Keens In Mobile. Miss Laura Keene, the actress, came pretty near getting into Rebel hot water in Mobile. It was supposed that she identified Booth in tbe assassination of Mr. . Lincoln, while he was passing from the stage on that fatal night of April 14, 1865. That was too much for some of the Mobile Rebels, and she received the follow ing very intelligent and polite invitation to leave town in hot baste: Wonii.E, February 8, 18U7, Laura Keene! You are requested to Live oure city, if you duut you will gel hurt. Obllselhe lnhabltens of the city of Mobile. You are nothing else but a Yaukess. , It is proper to say that the press of that city regard this affair as contemptiole, especially as Laura is not a "Yankess." but is an Englishwo man, and inasmuch a she makes it appear that she did not "tell on" Booth, and was not the principal witness against Mrs. Surratt! The Mobile Iribune says she ought to have recog nized him it she could have done so, and that General Lee would have done the same. Philadelphia Trade Report. ' Wednesday, February 27.
