The ITilladelpMa Loyal Lengue have wisely and iu good time ottered a premium of $500 for tlie best essay that maybe tendered "on tlie legal organization of the people to select candidates for office;" with minor premiums of 1300, 200, and 100 for the second, third, and fourth in merit. These offers will doubtless elicit several good essays; yet we wiah the field of inquiry had been made far broader. "How shall those citizens who desire to vote for competent, up right legislators and rulers, and none others, achieve their end How shall they aobtew such an understanding or concert that tuey Will be enabled to combine their strength, , ana not be constrained either to throw away their rotes on candidates who stand no chance of election, or to vote for men in whom they have no confidence, and whom they wpport only because they must V There are few problems now to be solved of greater practical im- Saahof us is now Tirtually compelled to vote for candidates in whose integrity and capacity we feel no confidence. There i may be a ,very good name at the head of our ballot, with two or three more scattered through it; but of threo-fourths of those named thereon we either Vnnw nothing or no good. How shall we mend this f Our advice, briefly, would be: 1. Let ns elect by popular vote fewer officers than now, leaving more to be appointed. 2. Let us discard, for the most part, the Bwindling machinery of "Regular Nomina tions," and call by public requisition upon fit persons to stand as candidates for elective offices. ' , A requisition is a very simple matter. It reads: . To .Esq. Tlie undersliined, residents and electors of the Dlsiriot, respectfully request you to Bland as the Republican (or Democratic, or conservative, as the cane may be) candidate tor Keprcsentalive In Confess (or Stale Senate, or Assembly) at the ensuing elect ion." Here follow the signatures Of course, there may be two or more rival requisitions; but almost any one might deter mine, by a simple scrutiny of the names attached to each, which of them was the more responsibly and worthily signed, though it should have the fewer names appended to it. Usually the weaker candidates would be with drawn or quietly dropped, leaving the field clear on either side to the man who ought to be supported. But admit that the stronger party in a district would sometimes lose the day through a plurality of candidates in its interest, we insist that the evil would be far less serious than that now endured from the rottenness ' or incapacity of the candidates forced npsn us by "regular nominations." Congregation of Crowned Heads In Parla , W hat la to Come of It 1 From the Herald. After fifteen years of apparently fruitless labor, Napoleon has at last been successful in gathering around him the crowned heads and leading prinees of Europe. The parvenu of 1852 commands something more than respect in the haughtiest and most exclusive courts of Europe. The last time the princes made their entry into Paris their presence was a token o ' humiliation to France; this time their presence is a token of exultation. Then they came to exact reparation for the wrong doings of Na poleon, and to render such wrong doings im" possible for the future. Now they come to do honor to Franoe and to be the guests of Na poleon's nephew. The French people have reason to be proud of the present condition of their country, and proud of the name of Napoleon. The first Napoleon was fonder of whipping than feasting the potentates of Europe. The present Napo leon has tried the whipping process, too, and he has not been unsuccessful. We should not be surprised if he tried it again; but mean while, all things considered, it is more conve nient to act as their host. A number of royal visitors have already arrived. In a few days more it is expected that the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, with the Empress, the Emperor and Empress of Austria, the Sultan of Turkey we are not told whether with or without his harem are all at one and the same time to be the guests of the Emperor, and, of course, to visit the Exposition and the other Hons of Paris. The assemblage of royal and imperial persons will not be the least at tractive of the many attractive sights which Paris at this season will present. What is to be the result of this illustrious gathering t It certainly has a peaceful and hopeinl aspeot. In all probability it will pave the way to a final solution of the Eastern ques tion. One other thing might be done. Napo leon has never yet been formally crowned. For fifteen years the world has waited to hear of his ooronation. We can see no reason why it should be longer deferred. Let him invite the Holy Father to meet his royal friends at the Tuileries, and let the occasion be seized for getting this business over. A more fitting opportunity can scarcely again occur. It will be an awkward thing if history has to record of Napoleon the Ihird, the acknowledged eldest son of the Church, that he was never anointed with the holy and consecrating oil. Speaking at tha South, From the Tribune. The Express, copying our urgent solicitation that our members of Congress shall go South and address tua people, asks: "Why don't Mr. Greeley set the example?" Answer, 1. Mr. Greeley has been, and (he hopes) has done some good. So he is assured at once by the positive testimony of those who heard or read his speech at Richmond, and the negative testimony of those who won't hear or read it,, but howl instead, "Stop my paper!" They would not be so afraid to hear if he had said nothing to the purpose. 2. He is a delegate elect to our State Consti tutional Convention which meets at Albany one week hence, and will probably remain in session for the next three months. He does not feel at liberty to neglect the duties thus devolved upon hint. 3. The need at the South is of men who can epeak authoritatively of wnat Congress de sires, purposes, and will do. Mr. Greeley can not so speak. He was nominated for Congress last fall in an overwhelmingly Democratic dis trict, and beaten by 10,000 majority in the ensuing election, because the Democrats feared he would be too hard upon the Rebels. His name was then taken before a strongly Repub lican Legislature, as a candidate for United Btntos Senator, and he was there Still worse beaten, Iw-ORtise the Republicans feared he was inclined to le too eaty with the Rebels. It is thus settled beyond cavil that he cannot srwak for Congress: hence, he took care not to do so at Richmond. He is left free to speak his own mind, and to stand on his own platform; which is, as it for two years notoriously has been universal amnesty, with impartial suffrage. The Fall of MaUmlllan rinal Break down ol the Mexican Kinplri. From the Timet. Maximilian has at last fallen into the hands of his enemies. The news is official, and un doubtedly authentic. Though we have here tofore been justified in the doubts we have frequently expressed about the accuracy and authenticity of a large portion of our Mexican news, there is no reason whatever to dispute the truth of the despatch from President Juarez, announcing the fall of Queretaro, and the capture of the Emperor and his principal Generals on .the 15th inst. The source of the despatch, as well as its form and character, place it above suspicion. If confirmation were needed, we have it in the later despatch from the Commander of the Liberal array to the Mexican Minister of War. Esoobedo reiterates in detail the statement of President Juarez, and gives the additional information that Maximilian, his Generals, and his army, "sur rendered unconditionally." The statement that Juarez had ordered "Maximilian and all his Generals" to be shot conies less directly, and with less show of authenticity. It is attributed to Escobedo, but does not come over his signature, and is not incorporated in the despatch which emanated from him some days after the Imperial cap ture. At all events, we shall discredit this part of the news until we have further light thrown upon it by official or trustworthy despatches. The assertion that the Imperialist surrender was unconditional is of the highest importance in many respects. In itself it is calculated to give credibility to the report of Maximilian's execution. As we showed recently, Maxi milian has been fighting for three mouths past, not with the hope of establishing his imperial dynasty in Mexico, but with the view merely of securing better terms than had been held out to him by his adversaries. All that was offered to him and hi 3 officers was death, whether they made a voluntary sur render or were captured in the straits of war. lie entered into negotiations again aud again with the object of altering this, aud we have it on good authority that he has beeu ready to capitulate at any time sinoe the French left, on the simple condition that his officers and himself should receive "honorable terias" from President Juarez. It was impossible, however, for Maximilian to obtain a favorable reply to any of these pro positions. As regards the imperialist uenerais, Rlira mon, Meiia, and others, who are reported to have met the fate which their fellow Imperial ist prisoners recently met at Puebla, the Mexican President positively refused to con cede them honorable terms, or any other terms than such as are due to traitors. And as regards Maximilian himself, we understand that Juarez was not willing to give his word even to our Government that he would be treated as a simple prisoner of war. The rage of the Liberals against tho whole of the Impe rial leaders was uncontrollable, and the only prospect held out to them was that they should be dealt with as assassins and pirates, and should, in turn, furniah illustrations of the bloody policy which the French army re cently enforced against tha Republicans. The feeling against the Emperor personally ran high, principally because lie continued what was believed to be a fruitless war after tho French left. These facts and circumstances, taken by themselves, undoubtedly give plausibility to the report that Maximilian himself met the same doom at Queretaro which, we have no doubt, Was dealt out to those of his officers who fell into the hands of Escobedo. Our enly reason for indulging in a doubt as to his re potted fate aside from the circumstance that this particular incident comes to us indirectly and unofficially arises from our belief that, though J uarez would not give a positive pledge to save the Emperor's life, he was yet anxious to demonstrate his regard for the desire and request of our Government in the matter. If the news of the execution turns out to be true, the tragic fate of the unhappy adventurer will furnish a striking commentary on the remark he made three months ago, when deserted by the French and driven mad by the insults of Hazaine. "They are placing ine," exclaimed he, "between dishonor and death my selec tion is made." lie chose death rather than what he considered the dishonor of aban doning his cause and his friends. Probably he had very little idea at that moment how quickly the realization of his choice might be reached. Maximilian has undoubtedly held out to the last hour possible. He has not only seen his army dwindle, but he has seen it become greatly demoralized. He has not only been without money or means for months, but he has latterly seen his troops on the point of starvation, with limited rations of horseflesh ordogmeat. He has not only endured along siege at Queretaro, but he has remained there until the only other two places where his flag waved the Capital and Vera Cruz were in like manner besieged by forces four times greater than those which defended them. When he succumbed, there was not a glimmer of hope left for him; and though we have no doubt the "Church" party, or reactionary party, will quickly turn up again under some other leader, it will be disconnected from the associations which have made Imperialism ob noxious to all Mexicans. It will be three years next month since Maximilian and Carlotta entered tlie Mexican capital as Emporor and Empress, with a de gree of pomp and circumstance never before witnessed in Mexico. They have been three years of struggle and storm for him, as terri ble as ever fell to the fortune of any ruler. His destruction will be a memorable warninir to European powers never again to attempt nomin&tinn cm unit Tin v. . i . . 1 tinent. .. j i vub Amoricau con The South In 1867, from the Tribune. The population of the fifteen former slave States was a little over 12,000,000 In 1800, and is nearly the same to-day. The heavy waste of war has been made up in part by immigra tion and in part by natural increase. Several States may have even fewer inhabitants than in 18C0, but Texai Las many more, and we think there has been a gain also in Tennessee,' whose , two principal cities Memphis and Nashville have grown very considerably. Assuming the present population of those Stales (including Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware) at 12,000,- 000, wo pstimnle that it may be divided politi cally as follows: ; WMte Unlonlsis who never faltmcd 2,000,000 Wack do. 8,000 (H)i Orliclnnl Unionist who became Hebelg. 2 OiKI 0' 0 Original HeresslonlHls now loyal 3'010'n mi Implacable Kebclg 2ooojWO This last class is mora noisy than nu merous, and even more venemous than noisy. It derives power aud consequence from its partial identification with the five millions who have been RebelH, but are Rebels no longer. Every act done, every 'sontence uttered at the North, which confounds thoH who have been with those who still are Rebels, is grist to the mill of those who are at heart as much Rebels to-day as they ever Were, and who are fully determined never to be anything but Rebels. This body of malignant" are as ready to day to burn negro school-houses, insult the female teachers therein, and assault negro camp-meetings, as they ever were. They are the instigators of New Orleans massacres and Mobile riots. The country can have no solid peace till they are suppressed or driven out. They cannot be won over to loyalty, no mat ter by what means; but they may be iso lated, and so exposed to discipline or reduced to insignificance. Whoever and whatever tends to confound these with the far greater num ber of ex-Rebels, wrongs the latter while strengthening the former. The five millions of ex-Rebels make far less noise than the two millions who are at heart Rebels to-day. They are hard at work, trying to earn bread for their families, restoring their burned buildings, and doing their ut most to efface the hoof-marks of ravage and conflagration. We seldom hear from them, save in the statistics of the crops auuually grown, or of houses and storeB rebuilt. Still, they are a part of tho American people ; and it is not wise nor well to confound them with the Pollards and Semmeses, who aspire to speak for the South. They may have been comrades four years' back ; they are quite otherwise now. The true men of the South those who have renounced, as well as those who never har bored the idea of dismembering and humbling the Union need to be assured that their re presentatives will bo welcomed to seats in Con gress and their states restored to sen-government whenever they shall in good faith have fulfilled the conditions prescribed in the Mili tary Reconstruction bill. To this end, we again urge that thirty to forty of the ablest and wisest Republicans in Congress be sent down to explain the views aud set forth the kindly feelings of the great mass of the North ern people. The result cannot fail to be be neficent. A Philanthropist In Trouble. From the World. It did not need the folly of the Loyal League to show that Mr. Horace Greeley has again sorely tried the temper of his party friends. He has done an act which, so far as it has any significance, is of a creditable character. Mr., Jefferson Davis having been wantonly kept in prison for more than two years, without any intention of bringing him to trial, Mr. Greeley became one of his bondsmen, aud possibly contributed to his present release from con finement. In other words, he acted simply in furtherance of publio Justice, and in relieving the whole nation from accumulating further disgrace in the denial of the plainest rights of the alleged offender. For this, Mr. Greeley is eo hotly assailed that he has found it neces sary to enter into a personal defense over his' own initials, lie has offered a semi-apology, by denying that he was purely a volunteer in ellering himself aa surety for Davis. He has asserted that he did so at the request of the leading counsel for the defense. So far, Mr. Greeley has detracted from the merit of this good deed, in order to appease, if possible, the radical resentment which howls on his track. True, he has done so in a style which plainly shows his contempt for his grovelling and ma lignant pursuers a contempt which was again let loose in his letter to "the narrow-minded blockheads" of the League Club. Put we wonder if it never occurs to Mr. Greeley to inquire seriously into the real cause of the vindictive spirit of his assail ants. Why is it that no man, whatever his position and character, can do an act of justice, or even benevolence, to an opponent without encountering a storm of abuse r The answer is short and obvious. It is to be lound in the prevailing and habitual animus of the political party which Mr. Greeley's ; talents as a journalist have so largely con tributed to build up. pretending to be the party of freedom, it really is the most despotic and intolerant political organization of modem times. From the first .day of its existence it ha3 been animated by the determination to rule or ruin, and has con stantly labored to blast the character of every citizen who dared to protest against its lawlessness and violence. To imitate, however faintly, the spirit and example of Jesus Christ, evokes the charge of treason, and to utter ji word in defense of law and constitutional liberty is suffici ent to warrant the- accusation of being a Rebel. To the prevalence and ferooity ot this spirit the Tribune has immensely con tributed. Its daily habit has been, for years, to stigmatize pure and patriotic men as traitors, for no other offense than protesting against the reckless and lawless acts of its party, it is to-day the open and shameless advocate of military rule over peaceable communities, and takes no pains to conceal its exultation when military commanders promulgate orders that eminent citizens at tho South shall not discuss the policy of refusing to sanction at the polls the new government which is being forced upon them at the point of the bayonet. With perhaps the single exception of the long im prisonment of Davis, and the military mas Bacre of the alleged assassins of Lincoln, it has appliuded or justified the worst misdeeds of its party. It is no wonder, then.that its editor-in-chief is assailed in the fashionable super loyal style which prevails among Republicans whenever he dares to evince his respect for law, or justice, or moderation. What right has he to be tolerant, or Just, or merciful f Who authorized him, a great advocate of Republicanism, to assume an attitude of decency and fair dealing towards an opponent, much less towards a "traitor " While wo are ready to do ample justice to Mr. Greeley's humanity, and even policy, in contributing to the release of Davis, and while we commeud his vigorous revolt against wear ing the chains at whose forging for others he has so oiten assisted, we at the same time must acknowledge the consistency of his ac cusers. It was an act hostile to the whole policy and spirit of the Republican party. To imprison without law and execute without trial, are dear privileges that the party of free dom cannot afford to surrender without a b niggle. And certainly it could not permit Air. Ureeley to do an ant .nn,.....',...!,..

From the Hound Table. i The tendon Time, In quoting an article from these columns (March 30), on The South and its Leader, refers to it as indicating a cer tain reaction In the minds of our intelligent classes from the extreme bitterness with which Mr. Davis had previously bcon regarded, and as a sign of their disposition to Judge in a more temporate spirit tho motives of the great but unsuccessful attempt of. which he Was the head and front. . There can be little doubt but that the protracted and, bo far as the publio are permitted to Judge, the unjustifiable con finement of Mr. Davis without a trial has touohed the generosity of the community in a considerable degree, and that numbers who reprobated and still oondemn his course have been moved to indigna tion by a line of treatment against which the very worst or criminals would have an irrefragable right to protest. We were aware at the time the article referred to was penned that some such action was con templated as that which has now been carried into effect. We were also aware that the con victions expressed in it would bring us some censure. Put we were persuaded that the honor of the country was compromised by the course which tlie Government was pursuing. and were satisfied that it was our duty, by whatever humble means that lay in our power, to urge it to a diuerent one. Opinions as to the nature and extent of Mr. Davis' responsi bility to the laws or the culpability of his action might reasonably differ; but there could be no rational difference of opinion respecting me legality or the justice of his unexplained and untried imprisonment. In the absence of technical justification, we look for extraordinary circum stances touching publio satety or the like to find warrant tor a course which, in such ex ceptional cases, may be defensible if not legal No such circumstances could be found. The present release of the prisoner shows that they could not be found. The trial of Mr. Davis and the subsequent carrying out of his sentence, whatever that might be. would have been, a year ago, regarded by the publio with complacency. I he longer lie was held untried. the longer was publio feeling against himself modihcd by condemnation of the mysterious conduct ol the Government. It was thought, and the thought with many grew, as time wore on, into conviction, that the Govern ment through its officers had been placed in a false position, and that it was to shield itself rather than to lurther the ends of justice that the unreasonable postponement was due. As a consequence, -the publio eye glanced from the prisoner to the Government, and from the felt if not otteu expressed persuasion obtained that the imputed guilt ot the latter was in tome measure condoned by the unwarrantable method of its expiation. Had Mr. Davis beeu tried by court-martial and shot on his first capture, the bulk of Northern opinion would probably have justl lied such a process, as it could easily have been made to appear that the national safety demanded it, whatever might be said of the letter of the law. Jiut with delay pas3ion cooled, and it began to be perceived that Mr, Davis was not an ordinary criminal, not the leader of a riot, a house-burner, or a murderer taken red-handed, but a political prisoner amenable to different consequences; standing vicariously for many millions of people, whose punishment or acquittal must be morany identical with his own; and in the opinion of many even in the. Northern States, defensible even by the strictest construction of the Con stitution he was charged with violating. It is now felt by the sober and reflecting that, both with regard to justice and to ulti mate cordial reconciliation of the lately con tending sections, it was a most fortunate cir cumstance for the whole country that the Confederate chief escaped the fate which many bitter partisans invokedfor him; and we feel confident that when the effect upon the South of his enlargement is fairly tested, it will be acknowledged, putting his rights or wrongs as an individual entirely aside, to have been a salutary thing for the nation. The outcries of lamentation and vitupera tion with which a part of the press has ac companied the release of Mr. Davis and his journey northward, are contemptibly woman ish and weak; aud the apprehension of his peculiar opponents that . Mr. Greeley, would gain too much political capital by placing his name on the captive's bail-bond, is equally so. It is One of the worst features of our political life, that no possible action, how ever pure, chivalrous, and noble, can be per formed by an individual of the least promi nence, but that it is straightway bespattered w ith the foulest abuse and attributed to the most despicable of - motives. It is small wonder that the influence of newspapers should wane when their writers suffer pRrty leeling so completely to overshadow all sense of truth, decency, and generosity. The criti cisms upon the course of Mr. Ureeley are of a piece with the slurs directed at those who have dared to show Mr Davis attention or compassion. . Even . his oouusel, Mr. Charles O'Oonor, than whom a purer and moie elevated character does not exist in the community, has not entirely escaped assaults which are disgraceful to those who have made them. Why such demonstrations should have been made we are at a loss to conceive. There certainly has been nothing to justify them. It would have been impossible for Mr. Davis and his slender party to have travelled towards Canada whither he goes to see his children more quietly, more unobtrusively, or in a manner better calculated to evince hid earnest desire to avoid observation, than he has done. Cut it would really seem as if some of the newspapers wished it otherwise, with the hope that the populace might thereby be iueited to insult or mob him. All this is so small, so frivolous, and so spiteful, as to bo- anything but creditable to the community. It, is natural that those who have lost friends in the war should have no love for Jefferson Davis, but that is no good reason why they should be Instigated to insult him. There are empty hearths at the South as well as the North, and the officers who directed the Federal armies travel through it in every direction without, meeting, so far as we have heard, an unkind word or look; and Southerners are not people to restrain their feelings solely through fear of consequences. Undoubtedly there , were dreadful deeds deeds of barbarism, of spoliation, of wanton cruelty perpetrated ' during the war; but does any dispassionate man really believe that they were entirely oonfiued to one side f and, in any case, ,if we are to live in fraternal relations hereafter, aud if tho memory of these things is ever to be buried at all, is it not nearly time to Bet about it? Wo profoundly deprecate the agitation of these subjects, and Blncerelv wish' that all among us could have exhibited under recent' circumstances a little more generosity and a good deal more dignity.
