The Sen Lui Revolution The Revolu tionary Plen as Proclaimed by the i Leaders Boldnesi of the Ilea kuree Aguirre'a Decision The Government Rale ing Troope The Na tional Guard. Mexico City, Jan. 7. The condition of ffalrs in 8an Lura Is generally acknowledged to nave crown very serious. In the revolutionary plan firist promulgated by General Agulrre no denouncement was made against the Federal Government; but as the latter has taken active aieamres to put down this movement, a new proclamation was issued against the Oenoral Government to which the former soom to have been but a stepplng-etone. By this most cun ning and artful management, there appears con fronting the Government a large force of thor oughly drilled troops, as well officered, armed, and equipped probably as any In the republic. With all the artillery of the division In their possession, money In their hnnds and no enemy near, it would appear that it will cost the Gov ernment trouble to restore the normal condition of affairs. General Roeba Is in Rio Verde, but la unable to advance npon 8an Luis. General Equlluz was ordered to take up his line of march for that place, but a body of troops was despatched against him and ho was compelled to retreat to Queretaro. The following is an extract of the political revolutionary plan of these pronun ciation, proclaimed on the 30th of December, to which are signed the names of Generals Agntrro, Pedro MartFuez, Manuel Laranaga, and all the ofllcers of their commands; that Juarez has acted contrary to the constitution, and during eleven years has rendered no account to the people, "but has trodden upon their institutions; that one of the first duties of the forces of a republic is to defend the principles and rights of the people and not blindly make themselves instruments to sustain elavcry. . These are the usual attacks which are made upon the adminis tration, all of which are calculated to excite the passions of the troops and lead wcak mlnded patriots to believe that they should distinguish themselves by joining the rebel lion. In consideration of theso things they propose: First. To refuse to recognize the Executive. Second. To recognize Congress, provided it accepts the plan of the revolutionists and agrees never to do wrong any more. Third. There mast be immediately a new shuttle and deal. ' In other words, a new election in order that the outs may get in. State sovereignty must be proclaimed. The General Government must be removed to some more central point of the . republic Governors of States can retain their positions by subscribing to the plan, which lat ter can be changed to 6uit clrcumstiiDecs. The public debt Incurred in currying out the plan will be the first to be paid. These are some of the changes which are to regenerate Mexico, make life and property safe ana her people industrious, develop their wealth, resuscitate her commerce, build np the haciendas, now falling into ruins because their owners cannot cultivate them at a profit, build her rail roads, and placo her on a par with the leading nations of the earth. The Governor of Guanajuato announces that he has been authorized by the Legislature to organize a national guard of 2000 men. The Governors of Vera Cruz, Oraca, and , Hidalgo - are ready to raise troops lor the national service. Owing to the demands npon the State of Puebla to put down the revolution within her borders, the Government la uuabloto furnish any recruits to the national forces. This appears in answer to the call upon tho various States by the Gene ral Government. It is said that there is no police in the city of San Luis Potosi. There are no persons willing to act as ofllcers of police, on account of the fear to offend either citizens or military. Simulta neous with the movement in San Luis there have been various Insignificant pronunciamientos In Michoacan, Jalisco, Matamoros, Morelos, and even Mexico. It is claimed also that there is danger of the same near Acapulco. Vera Cruz papers state that various bands of revolutionists or robbers have been seen in that neighborhood. Nothing of any great importance has taken place recently in the Sierra of Puebla. The troops of Alatorre have had some skirmishing with the rebels. A few days since a band of them came down into a small town, helped themselves to every thing they desired, outraged all the women, and then left. The papers are complaining very much regarding the condition of a neighbor hood called ."Tlerra negra," four leagues from Queretaro. They say that travelling through this vicinity has become absolutely Impossible. The discovery of a new gold mine at Parrol, in the 8tate of Michoacan, is announced. A Spaniard named Manuel Zordo was recently kid napped on the road between Tlalmanalco and Ameca. Ten thousand dollars is demanded as bis ransom. A WOMAN SCORNED. A Colored Mary Harris Oaae Homicide from Jealousy. The Washington Star of last evening says: About &4 o'clock last night a colored man namnd Alexander Mouton was killed by a colored woman named Mary Harris. She used an ordinary shoemaker' knife as a weapon, with which his heart was pierced, and death resulted immediately. Officers were apprized of the occurrence, and on going to the house found that Dr. Poulton boa been summoned. The deceased was lying dead upon the floor. The officers took the woman to the station house. She had blood npon her person, and when asked how it came there she assumed an air or Indifference, and said, "I did not kill hm." From the statements made last evening it was cltar that the woman had dealt the fatal blow, but there was come discrepancy between the statements of the witnesses as to what took place previously. The deceased was about thirty years of age. He had been married for several years, and hU wife has for some time resided in Clark's alley, on C street, between Third and Four-and-a-half streets, where he has also spent the greater por tion of his time, except when in the company of bis mistress, Mary Harris. lie wa employed at a driver at llolmcr'a brickyard, ills reputa tion was that of a very quiet and orderly man, criminal only lu his attachment for Miss Harris, and the consequent neglect of his lawful wife It Is stated that be had been living with Mary for nearly two years on terms of the closest in timacy, and that until last night she was una ware of the fact that he was married and tho father of a family. He came here from Vir ginia about the beginning of the war, and had a wife and child living here, the child being about twelve years old. Mary Harris is about twenty-nine years of age, and has the appearance of a dangerous woman. She gave dogged and contradictory answers as to the manner in which blood camo to be on her person, volunteering the statement, however, that she became smeared with blood in raising the shirt of the murdered man to dis cover the locality of the wound. Three wit nesses assert that they were eye-witnesses of the deed, aud that she was the perpetrator of the murder. Mrs; Westerfield, who has em- Iiloyed her for the last seven years as a general louse servant, asserts that up to the time of the dreadful occurrence she has always bien re garded as a good, faitbful, and honest servant, and has given satisfaction to the family In the capacity in which she has been employed, and enjoyed the confidence of the entire household. When confined1 in her cell she became more communicative, and asserted that the murdered man had killed herself. Latterly, however, she declined to answer any Interrogatories, and be came stolid in her demeanor. A NEGRO SENATOR. Tho nn. Hiram p. Kevnlo, of Mississippi Ills .Eligibility Considered from a Irf-gsJ Stand point. ' The Mississippi Legislature has elected a United Btates Senator, In whose person will be tested the principle of political equality In its fullest extent. Tho Senator elect, chosen last week to fill a Senatorial term expiring March 4, 1871, is Mr. H. P. Revels, a colored resident of Natchez. Mr. Revels is a native of Ohio, is a graduate of OIcrlln, and was educated for the Methodist ministry. He formerly preached in Indianapolis, and went from that city to Missis sippi. He has not been heretofore very promi nent In the politics of the State. He is nearly forty years of age, courteous - aud gentlemanly in appearance and manner, of a heiltby dark brown color, and is said by those who know him to possess more than average ability. He is at present State Senator from the Fourth, or, as it Is currently termed, the Natchez district. , Mr. Revels has a brother In Wanhington City, formerly a barber, now a clerk In the Frecd mcn's Bureau. The election was a surprise to the Mississippi Republicans at the capital, ni, beyond a local reputation at Natchez, Mr. Revels was but little known in the State. They all unite in recognizing him as a creditable repre sentative of his race. Governor Alcorn was chosen for the full term after the expiration of Mr. Revels' term of service. General Ames will be the collecgue of the latter, until the Governor takes his seat as a Senator. SENATOR KEVEL8' RIGHT TO A BEAT. Of course this question will meet Mr. Revels when he presents himself at the clerk's desk of the Senate to take the oath ot office as United Btates Senator. While it is admitted that he possessed the other legal .qualifications for the position, the question is raised whether ho is eligible -"under the Constitution of the United States, which stipulates that "no person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State for which be shall be chosen." When General Shields was first elected to the United States Senate from Illinois this question was raised against him; he was a citizen at tho time of his election, but had not been nine years a citizen, as required by the Constitution. The Chicago Republican of Saturday, In dis cussing this question, takes the ground that Mr. Revels is ineligible to Senatorial honors because he has not been a citizen nine years. Accordlug to the reasoning of tho Republican, it was ad judicated by the Drcd Scott decision that tho status of colored residents of this country, even theugh born on our soil, was not that of a citi zen, whether slave or free; that, consequently, such persons were not included among the "people" in the general words of the Federal Constitution, and could not, in any respect, be considered as citizens.- This decision, though now generally regarded as infamous in its mean ing and intent, has been recognized by Con gress, in the passage of the Civil Rights act that great measure of justice and reparation.to a long persecuted, down-trodden, victim race as volid and binding as res adjudiotta. With these facts in view, viz , that to be come a Senator of the United States a person must have been nine years a citizen; that colored men, according to the decision of the Supreme Court, were not citizens nine years ago: and that Congress did not consider them citizens up to the time of the passage of the Civil Rights act, the Chicago Republican claims "that not only Mr. fevels, but all of his race, are as yet ineligible to the place of Senators of the United States. The citizenlzing law alluded to was passed by Congress on April H, 18(50, after it had been vetoed by the President. Then, until nine years after that date, no colored man can be re garded as qualified to become a United States Senator, nor until seven years after that date a Representative in Congress. These are the con stitutional, judicial, and legal aspects of tho question." THE IMPERIAL MURDER. Prince Bonaparte' Challenge to Rochefort. The French journals just received give the text of the letter of Prince Bonaparte to Henri Rochefort: , Paris, Jan. 7, 1870 Monsieur: After out raging one after another each of my relatives, and sparing neither women nor children, you insult me by the pen of one of your workmen, It is all natural, and my turn should come. Only I have, perhaps, an advantage over the greater part of my family that of being a plain, frivate individual, although being a Bonaparte, therefore demand- of you if your breast is a guarantee for your inkstand, and I avow that I have only a mediocre confidence in the result of this step. I learn, in effect, by the journals, that your constituents have given you an imper ative command to refuse all honorable repara tion, and to preserve your precious existence. Nevertheless I take the chance, in the hope that a feeble remnant of French sentiment will cause you to depart, in my favor, from the measures of prudence and precaution in which you take refuge. If, therefore, by hazard, you consent to draw the bolts which render your Erocarious person doubly inviolable, yon will nd me neither in a palace or a chateau. I re side quite plainly at No. 56 Rue d'Auteull, and I promise you that if you present yourself it will not be said that I am out. Awaiting your reply, I have. again the honor to salute you. Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte. To M. Henri Rochefort, No. 3 Rue d'Aboukir, raris. Victor Nolr's Funeral. The incidents at the funeral of Victor Noir are thus given in the Paris journals: At 1-20 all the avenues and streets adjacent to the house where the remains laid were crowded with people. The number was Immense. The citizens who. surrounded the house cried out that the body must be brought to Pcre la Chaise. Louis Noir adjured the people to be calm, and said they should respect the remains of his brother. "In the name of the dear departed," he cried, "avoid all new troubles; do not give a pretext to the authorities to act." r;(0 The cries redoubled: "The body is ours; it belongs to us; he is tne of the people; we will carry him to Pere la Chaise." Louis Noir again implored them; he was received with sympathy, but the crowd continued in the same mood. - - - 1-85 A magniflceut crown of immortelles was brought forward, bearing the simple words, "To Victor Noir; the Democracy of Toulouse." M. M. Rochefort and Delescluze are in the house, and are endeavoring with the friends of the de ceased to prevent the intended demonstration. M. Rochefort called for silence; he appeared at a window on the first story, and was wildly cheered. He said that M. Delescluze would submit to the people tie definite decision come to by the friends and family of Victor Noir. Citizen Delescluze then came for ward, and said: "Citizens: The circumstances which unite us are the gravest and most solemn of all. One of our friends has been assassinated by a member of the Bonaparte family. We must have vengeance; we shall have it. But the ambush is laid. The enemy watches at the gratings. We must not give kirn the prize. (Yes, yes.) Citizens, it was our desire to carry the body to Pcre la Chaise, but we shall not. For the first time in eighteen years the wind blows our way. Let ns not compromise our cause, the cause of all peoples the cause of Justice. We must conform to the wish of Victor Nolr's family. The fnuerai must go to wards the cemetery of Nenllly, (No, no.) Citi zens, you have never had to give a greater proof of moderation and of patriotism. Citizens, to Nenllly, to Neullly!" (Yes, yes.) The coffin was lowered; all the crowd rushed forward; they uncovered and defiled before the betrothed of Victor Noir. An immense number separated to proceed toward Nenllly, singing the "Marsellaise," and crying, Vive la Hepub liquel Down with the Bonapartes 1 Death to the assassin I" TR1SCE ARTHUR. . ' : " lie Visit Onirrrss nnd U FHIfled bv Duller, 1 ltrooks, Morwita iV Co. After the interview with the President yester day, the Prince, Mr. Thornton, and suite took carriages and proceeded directly to the Capitol. The party approached by the east front of the Senate wing of the building and entered through the main portico. They proceeded at once to the diplomatic gallery. The Prince and Mr. Thornton occupied the front seats and the rest of the party the rear. At this time Senator Howe was reading his views on tho Currency bill recently reported from the Senate Com mittee on Flnauces. About half of the Sena tors were absent. - Shortly after the Prince reached the diplomatic galley Senator Cauld ron joined the rarty nnd was introduced by Mr. Thornton. - Senator Cameron extended au invitation to tho party to take seats npon the floor of the chamber. The Prince stated that he would be most happy to accept the invitation some other time during his stay in the Capitol, but as he understood Mr. Butler and Mr. Bing bnm were to speak in tho House of Represen tatives, he was anxious to hear them. Daring his visit to England several years ago, Senator Cameron was invited to the House of Lords and was given a seat at the foot of the throne, which is considered a great honor in monarchical countries. Senator Cameron desired to recipro cate this courtesy by an invitation to the floor of the Senate. The party remained bnt a few minutes in the Senate, when they left for the House of Representatives. ' The marble staircases and tho Rotunda were much admired by the Prince, and as he walked from one wing to the other his attention hd- pcared to be constantly arrested by the busy public passing to aud fr with an air of business and anxiety over tho affairs of legislation. Finally the Prince arrived at the Ilouxe of Re presentatives. He came in for a field day. Several big things were to be put up, and tho Prince had heard of it, and, like thousands ot others, anticipated a rare Parliamentary treat. The galleries were crowded, and tho floor of the hall was full. Nearly every seat was occupied. The unusual throng was occasioned partly by the expected visit of the Prince and partly because a great debato on tho Virginia bill, with an Inevitable tilt between the two great "B.'s," was anticipated. It was after 2 o'clock, when Furnsworth moved to pro ceed to business on the Speaker's table, with a view of getting at the Virginia bill. Ho did not accomplish his object, inasmuch as some Demo crat objected to taking tho bill up out of its re gular order, and is was buried under a mass of executive documents, which it took considerable time to dispose of. Upon one of theso, a com munication from the Secretary of War relative to the conduct of General Terry in unseating certain members of the Georgia Legislature, Brooks of New York thought it necessary to make a speech, iutended, of course, for home consumption. But It was tho irresprcsslble Butler the Prince came to see and to hear, and so when Butler got the floor.his Royal Highness leaned forward over the gallery, as If he was determined to hear every word that fell from the lips of Massachu setts "favorite son." Butler said be only wanted to correct the misstatements of Brooks, at which the Prince seemed a little surprised, for Brooks had spoken with so much earnestness that he no doubt supposed he was telling the sober truth. Brooks seemed determined ' to be a prominent character in the scene, and he accord ingly kept interrupting Butler, until the latter administered a settler to him. "What does the law say on that point?" said Brooks. "That puts me In mind of a story," said Butler, "where a person was a w itness in a cer tain cose. While he was giving his evidence the lawyer asked him how far apart tho parties were when he saw the occurrence he described. 'Four feet and a half," replied the witness. 'How do you know it was that exact distance?' questioned the lawyer. 'Well,' said tho witness, '1 thought some fool would ask me that question, so I measured the distance.' I thought the gentleman from New York would ask me that question, so I have the law right here.' " i There was a general laugh at tho expense of Mr. Brooks, in which the Prince joined, at the same time making some remarks to Mr. Thorn ton, at which both laughed. General Morgan, of Ohio, who, like Mr. Brooks, seemed anxious to let the Prince know that there was somebody else in the Bouse besides Butler, badgered the latter with questions and called npon him to read the reconstruction acts. Finally Butler, stretching his short, thick neck as far over towards the Democratic side of the House as he could, and elevating his eye-brows till his face assumed the appearance of a full moon, roared out, "I want the gentleman from Ohio to under stand that I don't keep school." Here the Prince laughed heartily again, and evidently became deeply interested In Butler. He listened very attentively to the speech, until Butler sat dewn, when he arose and the entire party left, pro ceeding to the cast front, where they re-entered their carriages and drove to the British Legation. TENEMENT-HOUSE TRAGEDY. Three Persons Burned-One Dead and the Others In a Critical Condition. Another sickening tenement-house disaster took place In New York last night, resulting in the loss of life of one person aud the probable death of another. About fifteen minutes after eight o'clock the bells sounded tho alarm for "corner of Worth and West Broadway." The fire department of the district quickly turned out and hurried to the scene of the fire. On arriving there it was found that the fire was in the two-story and attic frame house No. It Worth street, occupied on the first floor by George Meyers, on the second floor by David Harris, shoemaker, and a widow named Levy. The fire occurred In Har ris' apartments, - It is supposed from a kerosene lamp. The building ana contents were of such a combustible nature that the fire spread with surprising rapidity. Notwithstanding the presence of the police, who established fire lines and assisted in pre serving order apd removing the effects of the occupants, the latter becamo panic -strickon and rushed out into the stairs with their goods and chattels. The police endeavored to calm them, but to no avail, and for some time the poor occupants continned to make their way up and down past tho firemen, who were gallantly but tling the flames. Notwithstanding the efforts of the Croton and its manipulators, and after inflicting about $500 damuge to the property on the second floor, it reached the attic. The attic was occupied by John J. Casey, wife, and child. They had been actively engaged In removing their effects when the fire crept up to their home. Notwithstanding the remonstrances of the firemen, it is said they persisted in getting out their property and fell victims to their rash ness. Casey was horribly burned, as was also his wife Johanna and his son James. Some of the firemen of No. 27 Engine Company eventu ally determined to rescue them, aud dragged them out by main force. OBITUARY. (Keneral Mr Do Laey Evan. ' The hero of five great wars is dead. ' Sir De Lucy Evans, who fought in India, in the Penin sular war, in the American war of 1812. in tho Carlist war, and in the Crimean war, died in London, on the 0th Instant, at the age of 84. It has been the fortune of few soldiers to have seen the varied service of this old general. In his youth he participated in the great Indian battles against Ameer Khan. Before he 'was thirty he had fought through tho entire war in Spain. He was present at the retreat from Burgos and the victory of the Pyrenees. He commanded at the sacking of Washington, and was wounded at New Orleans. He had two horses shot under him at Waterloo, and fought for two years for Christina against Don Carlos. He distinguished himself in his old age at the Alma and Inkermann. No general in the British army at the time of his death could boost of a more distinguished career. General Evans was an Irishman. He was born at Moig, in 1787. In 1807, when he was twenty years of nge, he entered the army as an ensign of the 23d Regiment of foot, and his first ser vice was-in India, when he fought for three years against Ameer Khan. He also took part in the capture of Mauritius. In 1810 he joined his regiment in Spain. He was present at nearly all the principal battles and sieges of tho Pe ninsular war, and was noted for his readiness In volunteering on storming parties and for other hazardous duties. Ills gallantry was so con spicuous that he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. For his share in the actions of Vit torla, the Pyrenees, and Toulouse, ho received the war medal with three clasps. ' In the early part of the year 1814 Colonot Evans was ordered to America. He was at the battle of Bladensburg and had two horses shot under him. With a force of one hundred In fantry, acting under tho orders of General Ross, he raided into Washington and bnrncd the pub lic bnlldings. He also took part in the attack on Baltimore, and in the battle of New Orleans he was severely wounded In the assault upon Jackson's cotton bales. He recovered from his wounMs just In time to return to Eugland aud fight at Ouatre Bras, and at the memorable battle of Waterloo he again had two horses shot nnder him. no went Into Paris with the allied army, on the staff of the Duke of Wellington. After the peace he entered the political arena. Ho joined the reform party and ranked with the radical wing.. He repre sented Westminster in Parliament from 183' J to 1841, and was among the most active speakers and workers. In 1835 bo accepted the com mand of the "British Auxiliary Legion," which the British Government permitted the partisans of Queen Christina to recruit In England, and through a two year' war against Don Carlos he performed the most signal service. He was re elected to Parliament from Westminster iu 1810, and retained his seat until 1805, when he finally retired from public life. ; His lost military service was in the Crlmcau war. At the age of sixty-seven ho solicited a command, and was appointed, with the rank of lieutenant-general, to the second division of the invading army. He was distinguished at the bead of his command at tho Alma and before Sebastopol, where he rcpulBcd a terrible sortie of 6,000 Russians. When tho battle of Inker mann took place, he was sick on shipboard at Balaklavn, and General Pennefather was in charge of his division. On hearing the gnus the invalid hero leaped to his feet, hurried to the shore, and joined the thickest of the fight, but, so as not to rob Pennefather of the honor of the victory, he insisted upou actio only as his assistant. His conduct on this occa sion won for him the public thanks of Parlia ment and the Grand Cross of the Bath. The Emperor Napoleon made him a grand officer of the Legion of Honor. He rose to the rank of a full general In 1800, and at the time of his death commanded the 21st Regiment of Infantry. One of his hobbles in Parliament was opposition to the selling of commissions in the army. VERY HARD CASH. A New Orleans Sea Captain's Fortune Missing Was he Polsouedf Ills Daughter Pursuing the Murderer. John Alexander, a sea captain, about seventy four years of ago, came on to New York from New Orleans, iu September, 1808, to speculate In Wall street. He had from $40,000 to $00,000 in bonds, which he carried in a bag around his neck. These were seen with him, within a week of his death, which occurred at the residence of n Mr. Gardner, in 127th street, March 20, 1801). He died apparently of narcotic poisoning. The body was buried iu Greenwood, March 28, a cer tificate having been furnished by a physician living in the same house, under the name of Colin. Mrs. Burke, Alexander's daughter, having missed her father's usual letters, came on to New York and learned that he was dead. She took up her residence la University place, at Ninth street, to inquire into his affairs. When asking after his property, she was first told that he had left only some old clothes, but at length Mrs. Gardner admitted that Alexander had $8000 in bonds, which she said he had given her as a reward for the care which she had taken of him.' As tho Gardners have been expending a large sum of money, and as bonds had been traced to them belonging to Alexender, a suspi cion of foul play arose, and yesterday the body was taken up by order of Coroner Tlynn, and removed to tho Morgue to await an analysis by Professor Doremus. Gardner, his wife, and Rosa King, the servant girl, were arrested to await the result, the last principally as a witness. ORIENTAL NUPTIALS. An Old-fashioned Jew lib Wedding la New York The Bvurttol of the Broken Lilass-Iteturn to First Principles. The marriage of Mr. Marx Goodman to Miss Leah Diamond was celebrated yesterday, in the synagogue on Chrystie street, Now York. The reform movement among the Hebrews has oc casioned among those who remain orthodox a fondness for customs which were falling into dlouse, and tho marriage we speak of was per formed with all the imposing ceremonies of the Orient of long ago. All the women were on the right side and all the men on the left. These latter wore their hats, Invited Christian guests Included. The reader, the Rev. J. Kantrowitz, who officiates also as rabbi, was clad in the block robe aud peculiar cap of the Hebrew clergy. Soon the bridal cortege made its ap- Eearuncc, the happy pair leading, and followed y five bridesmaids and best men. On arriving at the altar the bridesmaids ascended the platform on tho right, surrounding the bride and obscuring her from view. The gentlemen of the party surrounded the bride groom. At this juncture the violius In the gal lery struck up au air, monotonous and decidedly oriental. The ensuing service was almost en tirely in Hebrew, the bridegroom, bride, and reader standing under a canopy of flowered silk Which was held by the groomsmen. Before and after the betrothal with the ring a cup of wine was presented firt to the bridegroom and after ward to the bride. At Intervals the violins gave snatches of the same doleful strain. The service was sung rather than chanted by the reader, in a fine baritone voice. This gentleman wore, during the ceremony, a white shawl over his shoulders, and a white scarf was placed around the bridegroom's neck. The benediction and breaking of a wine glass concluded the service. Baltimore Produce Market. Baltimors, Jan. SB. Cotton quiet but firm at 8tVo. Flour dull and unchanged. Wheat steady at I1-8C01-4Q.
