actor, even to n brief recapitulation of the cir
cumstances attending, his acceptance of the
crown of Mexico, of interest to America as well
as Europe.
On July 10, 1P.1, ft annul legislative body In the city
of Mexico, styling themselves the Assembly ot .Nota

eh bough appreciating si Its Just value tbe preference
accorded (to bis dynasty, he loit big brother en
tirely free to decide on tbe point. From that
period until Ms acceptance of tbo Pandora's box
offered him by tbe .mperor Napoleon, Maximilian
received many proots, to an Austrian utterly
poaciiuiilnied with Hi people of Mexico and
their feelings, unequivocal proofs, that his arrival In
the land ot Cortes would be looked upon by all parties
as tbe dawn of an era of peace and prosperity. The
aged Archbishop of Mexico went In perHon to the
palace of Miramar to urge tbe prince, in tbe name
of religion and the whole Mexican Kplscopate, to
accept toe noiy ana glorious wiAsion to w men jiivme
providence had predestined him." The deputa
tion appointed by tbe Assembly of Notables will led
on blm aud presented to him tbe vote of that body,
constituting blm Kiuperor ol Mexico. Other strong
elements were brought to bear on blm: but to all
oilers and entreaties be made the one reply
That If the universal vote of the Mexican nation
were given In bis favor, and auaruutees necessary to
secure Mexico against daugers that threatened her
Integrity and Independence granted him," be would
accept the position and title. During his Interview
with tbe Mexican deputation be said that be atten
tively fo' lowed the inouarcbicnl movement In
Mexico, through the assistance of tbe French olllclal
reports and tbe Information contained la the French
and Hnanish tonrnals. Highly reliable authorities,
indeed! All those preliminaries heli.g arranged satis
factorily, as tbe poor deluded Prince Imagined, be
bade larewell to his beautiful borne of peace aud hap
piness, and was Invested with the purple, sceptre, and
crown ot bis adopted country, lie see med to have
some foreboding of the stormy career and dark end
before blm In tbe New World, for he hesitated, tem
porized, delayed his departure from Europe for
xnontbs, keeping tbe donor of tbe glittering bauble In a
constant slat 01 anxiety: for the wily diplomat of the
Heine wished to transfer tbe awkward burden of
Mexico to otber shoulders. Messengers and telcgrmi
were flying about to all parte of Europe from trie
Tulleries In search of the relectant prince, and every
thing that related to Mexico was represented to him
Id a covlrur tie rose point of view. During Maxi
milian's visit to Paris, a short time before his depar
ture tor Mexico, a circumstance occurred which may
show what his feelings were on tbe subject of our
civil war. Mr. fslldeil was in Paris at the time, making
the most desperate attempts to get somebody or
anybody to recognize tbe '.Southern Confederacy."
One leading and Important object of Jeff.
Davis was to get on the right side of the
new Emperor of Mexico, and establish diplo
matic relatione with htm. Hence the Houlnern Com
missioner besieged Maximilian persistently for
an interview on the subject: but the Archduke posi
tively refused, adding, besides, that It was Impossible
for blm to enter into any diplomatic or personal rela
tions with a representative of the Houlhern Confede
racy. It was said by tbose knowing the circum
stances, that the Kebels met on this occasion the most
disastrous defeat of tbe entire war, so far as their
chances of European recognition were concerned.
It was nut a mere diplomatic cold shoulder, but a
complete rebuff. Ho much for his feeling towards
tbe United States before leaving Europe. Tben came
the "triumphant" entry Into Mexico, amid salvos of
French cannon and the hypocritical cheers of the
Church party, Tbe citizens of the an
cient capital were requested (the request
being accompanied with a gentle poke of a French
bayonet) to receive their sovereign with enthusiasm,
which they old, aa there was no help for It, The d
celved and iBlaluuled monarch, wtih his beautiful
and accomplished wife, rode through the streets of
his new capital, bowing graciously, and evidently
moved at the many demonstrations of "loy

subjects. Tils first negotiations, after get tin if

As there la hardly a shadow of doubt now of the
truth of tbe news of tbe unfortunate Prince's execu

be placed In a prominent and by no means creditable
position before the world. It forma a part of tbe
bloody tableau which con, .udes the Mexican Imperial
drama. A helpless prince a gentleman and brave
man even if deceived Into attempting to Introduce
monarchical institutions on this continent, is stand

Tlie Celebrated Decree of Maximilian.
We publish here the decree issued by Maxi
milian on the 8d of October, 186V. It becomes
of the greatest Importance at this moment, la
view of the fact that it was the main point
uvged against him at his trial, and, with the
atrocities commuted under it, doubtless cost
Jalm his life:
Mexicans The cause which Don Benito Juarez de
fended with so much valor and couatuuey has already

PRIZE FIG III' IN LOUISIANA.
FJght Between Tom King and Jim Tsr
ner for On Thousand Dollars a Side
Fifty-six Hounds Fought In Fifty
Minutes King the Winner,
New Orleans. July 3. The great prizes fight
between Tom King, of New Orleans, and Jim
Turner, or tne xngiitin ring, ror one tuousana
dolln.ru a side, took place to-day, near the town
of Plaquemines, Iberville parish, about one
hundred miles above JNew Orleans. Three
steamers were engaged to eouvey spectators
and backers and friends of the contestants, and
many others went on the packet boats, start
ing; on Tuesday evening. About two thousand
persons, Including a number of negroes,
gathered arouud the ring. Tbe affair was qulel
and orderly, the fight being conducted strictly
according to the new rules of the London ring.
King was handled by Cunnlugham, Oast
lion Charley and Bon Kelly; Fat Battle,
Tom Heymour, and Jim Fitzgerald acted
as (seconds for Turner, The tight lasted forty
nine and a half minutes, lu whioh llfty-six
rounds were fought. Much science wilt dis
played, but no severe punishment given. King
won by superior wrestliug powers, his policy
being to rush In, throw his man and fall heavily
upon him. King won all tbe events first throw
lu the first round, first blood In the third, and
first knock down with a body blow lu the
eighteenth. There were two fouls claimed oy
Turner's seconds, and one by King's, but
neither wus allowed by the referee, who is a
Srotniuent legal gentleman. Turner proved the
urdest hitter, aud gave King one or two bad
falls on the ropes, making him very shaky aud
unsteady on his plus from the forty-seooud to
the forty-eighth rouuds. King got his second
wind and revived lu the fifty-fourth touud, und
planted a heavy blow with his rlghtouTurner's
throat, making him labor hoavlly in breathing.
In the fifty-sixth round he got Turner arouud
the neck aud choked him, aud 11 :mlly fell with
his elbow and the whole weight of his body on
Turner's throat. , The latter was ptcked up and
curried to his corner senseless. Time wa
culled, and as Turner did not come to ttio
scratch, the sponge was thrown up In token of
King's victory.
Turner soon recovered, and begged to con
tinue the tight, but it was too late, the decision
having beeu given by the referee, in favor of
King. Turner's backers and friends deserted
him. King wus curried on the shoulders of the
crowd in triumph. What injuries were inflicted
are Internal, but not severe.
It Is estimated that JfO.OOO was bot on the
result. The gamblers went on their boat to
College Point and telegraphed tho result to
their colleiigues in the city. Tha latter imme
diately began to hedge their bets, and suc
ceeded iu thus doing the uuinitlated out of a
large sum.
Anetlier match between these two men for
t'MM is talked of, and will probably be
gotten up. r

TT?,1.Jl'IiOIL ?U'y ,8 -The third sea trial of the
United Btatcs steamer Palos, using crude pe
troleum ns fuel Instead of coal, took pincelto-dny.
1 he steamer left the Navy Ynrd about 12
o'clock, under the charge of Captain O, W.
Blanchard, Commander, having on board Chief
I'.iiglueer Kellogg and other members of the
Board of Experiment, besides J. C. Cook, Pro
fessor of Chemistry In Harvard Univernlty;
(It neral F. A. Osborn; Ontaln Moore, United

fucturers' Insurance Company, and other mer
chants of this elty;also Colonel Henry K. Koote,
HtlUman 15. Allen, and J. II. Wlusor, owners of
the patent. Some changes have beeu made in
t he steam connections with the donkey engine
for driving the air pumps, and also ou the colls
of pipe ou the retorts uced for preparing tue
pel.ro Ictim for use. These changes worked to
decided advantage on this ocoaslon. All the
other arrangements In the machinery are
substantially IboMime as on the previous trials.
By older of Commodore Honors the ollicors
of the I'tilos were instructed to sail a dlHtauce
of forty-live miles, ami to make tests of
the power ol the fuel to generate the
steam in the boilers over a measured distance,
which was from Buoy No. 7 to Nahant, a dis
tance of seven and sixty one-hundredth miles.
'1 tie distance from the Long Wharf to Nahant,
fifteen miles, was accomplished In oue hour
and ten minutes, the first regular test boln
between Buoy No. 7 and that olf Nahaut. Ou
the run back: the trip was made to Fort Inde
pendence In forty-six mlnntes, which was re
garded as fast time for a gunboat, whioh had
never made over eight and a half miles au
hour with coal. The rate of twelve knots was
made against wind and tide, with a pressure of
thirty-two pounds of steam. The vessel was
fourteen Inches deeper In thewater than on the
previous trials, aud was iu bad trim. The
virtue of tbe petroleum in this instance
was demonstrated in a very striking man
ner. Making a long turn o IT Fort Independence
the Palos passed the buoy and proceeded to
Nahant, again making still better tlme.alihough
tbe t fleet produced by the mingling of salt
water with the fresh water in the boilers, as in
all steam vessel boilers, tended to reduoe the
quantity of steam and speed during the third
run. Tbe Invited guests on board so well pleased
were they with the result of the experiment,
organized a meeting to give expression to their
views ou the subject of the use of petroleum as
fuel. The meeting was called to order by ex
Mayor J. V. C. Smith, of Boston, and was or
ganized by appointing Mr. Charles W. CarU
wrlght Chairman, who made a few remarks, lu
which be extolled the success which had at
tended tbe experiment. The following resolu
tions, expressive of the sense of the meeting,
were Introduced and passed unanimously:
Jlmoh'td, That we have wltuessed with great Inte
rest the third sea trial or the United States steamer
I'aloH, rising crude petroleum Instead of coal, and
cheerfully bear wlluesH, that in our Judgment, the ap
paratus In simple, practical, elllclent, aud safe: tbat a
run of between forty and nfiy miles In the open aea,
at a speed fitly per cent, greater tbun ever was made
ou this point with coal, and with a steady and uni
form pressure of steam, d moustrates the practica
bility of using petroleum as fuel, and the Incalculable
value of Colonel Foote's invention.
Jietulved, That the commercial, manufacturing, and
mercantile Interests of Massachusetts aud the world
demand cheap freights wltb rapid transportation, aud
tbat ibe experiment we have to-day witnessed gives
promise of great results to be obtained by this dis
covery. Jieeolved, That tbe thanks of the commercial world
are due to Colonel II. K. Foote and his associates for
the gieat discovery, wblcb must soon produce a revo
lution lu ocean steam uavlgation.
Jiemlved, Tbat our thanks are due to the naval olfl
cers attached to the PaloB for courtesies extended to
us during tbe trip.
Speeches were made by Professor Cook, Dr.
Smith, Captain Moore, and others. Professor
Cook said the fact of burning petroleum and
applying the heat as a generator of water In
steamboat boilers had been fully established on
the present occasion. The only question that
now remained to be settled was Its safety and
economy, and that question was being settled
by Just such experiments as he had witnessed
to-duy. Ue had not the slightest doubt as to the
feasibility and practical application of petro
leum as a substitute for coal on ocean steam
ships. Captain Moore, one of the oldest officers in
the navy, and who was present at Fulton's first
trial of the application of steam to boats, said
that tbe experiments now being madeoti the
Palos were an earnest of the lailh the Govern
ment had in petroleum.
The following Is a condensed statement of the
results: First run, 7 61-100 miles; time, 50
minutes; pounds of steam. 80; revolutions
2626. Second run. time 65 minutes; pounds of
steam, S2; revolutions, 2260. Fourtti run, time

Mosquera a Prisoner Wind Up of An
other Napoleonic Agent In America
Coup d'Ktat of General Acosta
By the steamer. Moro Castle, from Havana, we
have the confirmation of Mosquera's capture
and the end of-fils dictatorship. Tbe tone of
the press and the attitude assumed by the
Governors of Antlsquiua, Hantan, Tolinia, and
other Stales, left no doubt that the policy of
General Mosquera, as manifested In his semi
official manifesto, published February 2, 1SU7,
and as shown by his conduct In connection
with tbe steamer K. K. Cuyler, would meet with
signal opposition. Few, however, were pre
pared to expect bo sudden and singular a de
nouement as is described in the following.
Carth agena, June 9. The revolution inau
guiated by the gran General Mosquera has at
length come to an end, and the yran General
has come to grief. The coup de main whioh he
perpetrated a little over a month ago was
helped on by General Santos Acosta, who com
manded the troops which Mosquera had gath
ered in and around Bogota. It now turns
out that this same Acosta has boen the chief
Instrument in bringing Mosquera to a short
stop. On the 22d of May, the Grand General,
Mosquera, was invited, aud attended a dinner
given in his honor lu the capital, by the
executive officers. After the entertainment
he retired to the palace, and had enjoyed
a few hours' repose, when, at about three

mounted his charger to lead his troops (us he

what he Judged an insurrection. But before
reaching the street he reconsidered and re.
turned again to his room, only to find it occu

for the purpose. They at once arrested him,

under a guard composed of the militiamen.
After having well plied Mosquera with wine

Acosta, who has taken the oaths, assumed the
Presidential chair, and formed a new ministry,

THE TRt&L OF JOHN H. SURRATT.
Washington, July 5. The trial ot John H. Snrratt
was resumed this morning iu the Crliuiual Court,
Judge Fislitr presiding.
Tne court-room was crowded as usual, and among
the spectators were eaalar Howard, ol Michigan,
ex-Heuator H. S. Lane, ol Indiana, and other mem
bers of Congress.
The Jury In the case, who had spent the day (yester
day) at Silver Spring, on Mr. E. t". Rlair's place,
seemed to be benefited by the day's recreation. Judge
Eisner Is also ini proving In health.
Mr. Can Ion ton said the prosecution proponed to
Close their case by offering In evidence the record ol
tnu conviction by the Military Commls-iimi ot the
other axfasslDailon cniisplratiirs. lie believed there
was a recent ucl ol Coniiress allowing such record to
be tillered.
Mr, Bradley said before any record evidence was
ollered be derlred to know whether the prosecution
would recail busan Ann Jackson, Cleaver aud Rhodes
for lunlier croNS-examlnatiou.
Mr. Carrmeton If plied that it had been agreed that
bu-an Jacknon aud Rhodes should be recalled, hut he
was not aware that anytniug had tieeu mild about re
calling Cleaver, but be was not disposed to luterpose
any objection, however.
Mr. Bierrepunt proposed to put In evidence the Al
mitnuc lor tne year IKiia, for the purpose of shotvlug
wheu the moou rose on the nignt of April M. and the
' condition of the moon at that time at Washlutrton.
Mr. C'arrliiKton t-uld there was a procedeut for this
lit a case tried before Judge Canter, when the con
tents of au ttlmumio were admitted lu evidence.
Mr. Merrick objected.
Mr. Tierrepont salu he did not suppose there was
any serious objection to the aluiauuc, ou account of
the maker ol the almanac
Mr Merrick suld he had objected on several grounds.
He bud playfully added nuuiher objection, that It was
the Tribune iilmamtc, and the 2Wuue had been very
severe upon thin case,
Mr. Picrrepnnt replied that the alteration was made
In Ifiio and, therefore, could have no bearing upon
this case. H preferred to olfer this almanac, for. It
It was necessary, they could hrl ug all the astronomi
cal machinery of the braltlmoulaii Iustltute here to
prove the Name facie.
Judge Elaher suggested the American Almanac
would be the most con eel one to use, and after some
further til- cusslnn, a messeiiirer was despatched to the
titute Department for an American Almanac,
Mr. Pierrepont announced that there were several
more witnesses he desired to examine, aud he called
John C. Thoirpson and proceeded tu ex .mine film.
The wltnesH lives lit "T B," Maryland; has been
there since this trial commenced; In the Sjirlii of
)Ht;s I lived ut "T. B ." and kept a hotel there; Harold
came there some time In March and lirought ucouplo

FOR TIE Til CONGRESS.
House of Representative.
Continued from the Third Edition. .
Washington, Julv 5.
Mr, Paine moved to suspend the rules in order that
be might Introduce a Joint resolution tendering the
thanks of ( ongiess to Mujor-Cencral Philip H. Sheri
dan lor his ah e and laitliful performance of the duties
of Commander ot tbe Military Ulalilct ol Texas aud
Louisiana.
The rules were suspended yeas I in, nays 18, and the
joint resolution wus reud three limes ana paiHed.
Mr. Pheli s (Md.) presented a communication front
Josei'h A. tstewart, who had beeu contesting Ins (Mr.
Phelps') seat at the last session, staling that niter
taking testimony, he found that It was lusutUeieat,
aud therefore withdrawing Irom the contest, Relerred
to the Cnmmitti e on Elections,
Mr. Marshall (Illinois) presented a protest from
Messrs. C rover. Jones, and Beck, Representatives
from the Fifth, Sixth. anUHevnlh Districts of Ken
tucky, against the action ol the House on Wednedav,
asserting that they were legally elected, that their
seals are contested, and that no allegation can he
made against their loyalty, declaring that the action
of the House was In direct violation of all the laws
and precedents, that It was a subversion of the rights
ot the State of Kentucky and ot themselves and their
constituents, and claiming their right to be adinlttd
to their seats. The paper having been read. Mr.
Marshall staled that he had learned that a notice
of contest had been presented In the case ot
Jones, aud be inerefore moved that In regard tu the
other two, Messrs (.rover and Beck be discharged
from the further cniisiaoralloti, aud Dial they he dulv
sworn and admitted to their kcuIh. lie declared tnat
the right of representation was sacred and holy, aud
that the American people would not look with
liidlflerence upou au act cf such gross Injustice
to a Hi ale.
Mr. Logan asserted that there were chnrgns of dls.
loyalty agatust the members named; they were in
serted in the resolutions often l liy himself. It would
be found that Urover tmd voted for an net of ;
Mnu. 11 might tie proper lor his colleague, Mr. Mar
shal, to delend I'etielH here, hut he wiu surprised to
a representative from the broad prairie Hlate tnke
on himself such uerenBn,
Mr. Msishall raid he did not feel It necessary to
n tlce his colleagues personal itliuslous to himself.
Hidden motives for his sclion were a'l midlc'em for
him. This mode of travelling out ol the question to
Impugn tin aclinnsor moll es of members might be
deemed creditable br some members, but he did not
E repose to follow such an example. His colleague
ad beeu entirely mistaken about Mr. Urover. lie
had never been arrested tor treason. Mr. Jones had
b, en so arrested, us many otlieis hod been, but, had
been discharged without auy charge being preferred
against, him,
Mr. Dawts (Mass.) moved that the protest and mo
tion be reien ed to the Committee on Kleellons, He
had no hesitation lu Bitylnir lor hlmseif, as a member
of that Committee, tbat if he found there was nothing
ulH'Ciil'g llio qualifications of any ot tile Keuliickv
members, he would report back their credentials
to the House,
Mr. nod expressed the hope that the Committee
on Elections oulu report as soon as possible, aud
duMnr the present session, the result of lis Investiga
tion to tho House. It was wrong to disfranchise:
H alo ou mere rumor. With every cnntldeuee in the
nttrness. palrloiisii), ana lovalty of the chairman of
thai committee, he repeated the hope that ou a very
early occasion he would report to the House.
Mr, WlillaniB expressed t Ue Irlnaihat the (mmlt
tee should confine Its luvi-Rllgailoiis, for the present,
to tbe question of the qiiHllflcallous of the members
presenting their credentials.
Mr. Dawes agreed with Mr. Williams on that
point. Wheu a man presented his credentials, be
would not curry the investigation farther tlisnas to
whether that man was qualtflmt io hold his seat.
Mr. Bingham repudiated altogether the doctrine
that any member, by his speech, could exclude the
entire delegation ot Ohio by an assertion that it was
reported that the election liad beeu improperly con
ducted. The protest and motion were referred to the Com
imlileeou Elections.
