Trial by Jury Revolutionary Movements Keelatance to Tax Levies A Mexican Bain oa. Mexico, May 10. In Vera Cruz the Governor, in virtue of extraordinary powers which were granted to him by the Legislature, has issued a new law for the administration of justice in his State, and in which he suppressed the system of juries that was established there about a year ago. What would an Anglo-Saxon community Bay of a Governor who should suppress the trial by jury? Here the fact has been merely pub lished, and I have hoard of no comments in the newspapers or elsewhere. The fact is very Buggcetlve of the diflerence in character and circumstances of the Latin race as compared wl h the speakers of English. In the General Congress there have lately taken place animated discussions respecting the creation of a Senate to moderate legislative action by dividing it between two bodies instead of leaving all power in a single chamber as is iiow the case. Frcsidcnt Juarez manifested grtat interest for the success of this reform, and on the 20th inst. it was voted, after a debate of several days, by 116 to 4'J votes. The act will now have to be presented for ratification to the Legislatures of the States which compose the federation, and if it should be approved by a majority of two-thirds of the States, which is very probable, it will become the 3aw. Also, there have been strong debates about the concession which has been solicited by nn American company for the construction of a ebip-canal across the Isthmus of Tehuantepcc. All the deputies are in favor of the idea, but in any argue that the company ask for advan tages that ought not to be granted, and' that it does not present sufficient guarantees for the effective execution of such a colossal enterprise; and on these points the company may possibly Buffer a defeat, notwithstanding the great and gt neral desire which here prevails that the inter oceaDic water communication between the At lantic and the Pacific may bo effected in Mexi can territory. The revolutionist Casimiro Alonso, with some 200 men, concealed himself at dawn of the 16th ultimo, near the small town of Ecuandureo, In Mlchoacan. lie sent twenty-live or thirty men into the town, who committed various excesses, especially against female honor. In conse quence, the inhabitants fell upon the bandits, hilled several, and put the rest to flight, but, not satisfied with this triumph, they sallied in pursuit, when Alonso, with the rest of his men, rushed upon them from his ambush, killed some fifty of the inhabitants, wounded a greater num ber, entered the town with fire and sword, and delivered it over to pillage and all kinds of atrocities. On the other hand, we have intelligence from Guanauato that Don Pedro Yepez destroyed a band of forty rebels in the raneho de la "Or dena," near Trapuato, killing ten, taking three prisoners, who prove to bo great criminals, and will doubtless be executed, twenty-two horses, arms, and other spoil. Vera Cruz, May 15. The Governments of the States of Vera Cruz and Puebla have pub lished decrees for an augmentation of the taxes. Theee recite that by reason of great war ex penses there is not money enouga left in the State Treasury to pay the public employes: therefore an extraordinary tax of $2 in the $1000 is to be imposed upon all property in the re spective States. There is alto levied a tax uoon all incomes of Government employes over $10 per month. The levy of this latter tax gave great dissatisfaction, and the Government of Vera Cruz had received notice from dilferent quarters that the tax would be resisted, and was accordingly taking steps to enforce the law. The Impeachment Court at the capital found deputy i nniuaci uarcia guilty of sedition and treason. The vote was 130 ayes to 8 nars. lie will be expelled from Congress, and then most prooaoiy ue permit tea to go abroad upon a par don from the President. New FIlluiiBterlnff Enterprise (iencral Rose, crane and Uaukuead Mug-ruder said to be at Its Head. Brownsville, June 1. A filibustering expe dition into iuexico is now organizing, j. be pre liminary steps were taken several months aer. when, you recollect, General Rosecrans, late of me cuiiea otaies Army, paia a visit to tnat country, and traversed it extensively. The leaders of the expedition will be former officers of the United States army and of the late Couteueracy, with General llosecrans in supreme command. The headquarters are in New York city. The DrlnclDal subordinate departments are Chicago, St. Louis, Philadel phia, Houston, Texas, New Orlaans, and fehreveport, La. Major It. Shelly, a Tribune correspondent during the war, has something to do with this expedition. He has been in Chicago for the past month, and may still be there. The Confederals General J. Bunk head Magruder is the commander of the New Orleans portion of the expedition, and, from all I hear, wjll play a prominent part in the affair. The Federal authorities at Washington are fully aware of the decisive steps about to be taken, and, as the saviug is, "winK at it. The grand passage over the Rio Grande and into the Mexican territory will take place two months hence. The plan is as follows: llose crans ana tne Mexican General i-scobedo, who, l ana miormen, is tneir nero. ana in supreme command of the Mexican forces in the North east, and who fought the late Euiosror Maximi lian to well, have come to a satisfactory under standing, and in consideration of a large sum of money paid to iecobeao, it 1 mutually under stood aiid agreed to conduct the enterprise as lollows: The filibusters will enter the country alon 2 the border in squads of twenty and upward, ai it tt.cy vere immigrants, miuers on their way to the gold mines ot New Mexico, cattld-drovera, and the like. General Escobedo is to withdraw his army one or two hundred miles away from iLe border to enable the expedition to enter the t ouutry, organize, and then adrauce bj a mili tary force. Then both armies supposed to be hostile are to advance and to have a short sham engagement, at the termination of which Esco 1 edo is to break and fall back in utter confu sion, and then to aid and assist the carpet baggers to conquer the country, and establish a government with llosecrans or some one else at its head, which government will ultimately be turued over to the United States authorities. Accident to Olive Logan, The hundreds who expected to hear Olive Logan last evening were greatly disappointed . n learning that her lecture had to be postponed , until next Thursday evening, on account of an accident that Lttell her in Leavenworth. On aursday evening, the Oon$eroatio says, a time before the hour announced for her lecture, as Miss Olive Logan stepped from a car riage, her ankle turnea, and was so painfully injured that she fainted. She was conveyed to the residence of her brother. Dr. Logan, where she will doubtless "be confined for several days. The limb swelled so rapidly that the exact nature and extent of the injury could not be ascer tained on Thursday evening, but it was sup- Eoeed to be nothing more than a sprain. Miss ogan's lecture announced for Leavenworth was In consequence of the Injury postponed, as it nas been In this city. Lawrence Jiepuuncan, June 4. MASONIC. A Grand Celebration In New York To-day I.nylnei of the Corner-Atone or the New Tem ple The Edifice As It Is To He-The Pro gramme. The New York papers of this morning came to us loaded down with the preliminaries of the monster Masonic demonstration which is taking place in that city to-day, In honor of the laying of the corner-stone of the new temple of the Order. We take the following from the Tribune: This 8th of June, 1870, will stand for many a coming year a red-letter day in the Masonic calendar of the Empire State, for upon this aus picious and memorable Wednesday, in the heart of the great metropolis, and in the presence of a mighty convocation of assembled lodges, will be laid, witn giaaiy-soiemn ceremonies, tne chief corner-stone of a cloud-kissing temple, generous in purpose, monumental in architec ture, ana nuy typical 01 me virtue, irum, ana wisdom which have been fashioned into the institution which men call Masonry. In 1843 Brother ureenceia rote, a man well advanced in years, and dependent upon the labor of his hands for the support of his family, cast upon the altar of Masonry one dollar, as the first contribution to the Ilall and Asylum Fund. That single precious mite, by careful in vestment, and the offerings of brethren, has grown with tne lapse ot years to nau a million dollars. Two years ago the present central and admi rable site, upon the northeast corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-third street, opposite Booth's Theatre, was bought for 34O,000, every cent of wnicn is now paid, leaving the land without lease, mortgage, or incumbrance, a sure Masonic heritage for all time to come. There are fully 150 lodges in the Metropolitan District, which is limited by a ten-mile radius from the City Hall, but there is not at present a single veritable Masonic Hall In New York city. The building so-called, on Thirteenth ptreet, is not owned, and is but partly occupied, by the fraternity. Ihe crouna measures 141 tect on 1 wenty-tnlrd street, and 08 feet 9 inches on the avenue, and the temple will cover tne entire area. The mate rial is to be dark and light Concord or Qulncy granite. The building will be divided into five stories, eacn distinctly maricea on tne exterior. Upon Twenty-third street the main feature will be the central pavilion, ornamented with columns and pilasters, and surmounted by a quadrangular aome, ou leet square at tne base, ana rising idd teet aoove tne pavement to tne ton of its cresting. "Curtains." to be adorned with emblematic statues, will connect the centre pavilion witn corner pavilions, 26 feet square at the base, rising 95 feet to the top of the main cornice, and capped by a Mansard roof. ine avenue iront narmonizes witn tne Twenty-third street front, and consists of cor ner pavilions, with a recessed "curtain" be tween, enriched by pilasters. The first story will be principally devoted to stores, three large ones on tne street ana lour on tne avenue, ine main entrance on the southwest "curtain" will be ornamented and made prominent by a Doric iiortico. In the front of this will stand two Masonic columns 20 feet high, and these, with the allegoric statues and the arms of the Grand Lodge on the fifth stor', will form the only in signia of Masonry on the temple's exterior. The main entrance leads directly, by a flight of broad steps, to a large corridor In the second story, 20 feet wide by 06 long and 30 high. From this immediate access is obtained, on the east side, to the Grand Lodge-room, 84 by 00 feet, and on the other side to the parlors and offices of the Grand Lodge officers, and to the fireproof archive-room and other apartments. Tne grand hall Is arranged to comfortably seat the Grand Lodge of the State, which numbers about 1500 members, and has, besides, a gallery across the west end, which will accommodate 150 more, and will be specially convenient for the orchestra on musical Occasions. The Grand Master's throne will be in a recess at the east end, with convenient retiring and accommoda tion rooms on either side.. The main 6tairway leading to . all the upper stories is at the north end of the entrance corridor. The landing on the third story, 21 feet 6 inches high, gives access at once to a re ception hall, 20 by C8, opening on the east side to three Tylers' rooms, connected by convenient ante-rooms with three Blue Lodge rooms, each 2 feet long. West of the reception room is a large banquet hall, with stewards' rooms ad joining. In the fourth story, which is 21 feet high, and arranged precisely like the third, there will be two Blue Lodge rooms, and one Royal Arch Chapter room, arranged with new and ingenious conveniences. The fifth story will be wholly devoted to the use of the Knights Tem plar, and the Commaniery Hall will probably be in all respects the finest ever constructed. The building will be heated by steam, thoroughly and scientifically ventilated, and of the most fire-proof construction, and will, of course, be amply supplied with all the conveniences of first-class modern houses. An elevator, placed conveniently to the main stalr ' way, and to the private 6tairway on Sixth avenue, will traverse the building from the ground to the fifth story, and, in case of need, it may be entirely cleared of its occupants in five minutes. The architect, Napoleon Le Brun, has planned the structure with the utmost care and with commendable taste, and it is not easy to see how it could be improved. Its cost fs estimated at 9150,000, and one-third of this sum is already in the hands of the trustees. It is hoped tbat Masonic zeal and generosity will compass its completion within two years. Some jut idea of its eky-pointiug majesty may be gathered from the fact that its massive central dome will tower 45 feet above the topmost point 01 ouoiu d mauim-cui uieatre, aireciiy opposite. At least 15,000 Master Masons, in dark clothing, high black hats, white linen aprons. and white gloves, will form at V)4 A. M., In ten divisions, upon the streets between Thirteeuth and Twenty-third, west of Fifth avenue, aud at 9 o'clock precisely will march twelve deep, with ten bands of music, in review before the Grand Lodge, up Madison ana t inn avenues to Fortv sixth street, and down Sixth and Fifth aveuues to Twenty-third street. Upon the arrival of the procession, at or about 11 o'clock, the corner stone will be laid by James Gihson, Graud Master of Masons In the State of New York. The oration will then be delivered by the Rev- Elbrldge 0. Porter, a prominent Williamsburg minister of the Reformed Church. Fully 150 lodges, averaging 10i members each. have pledged themselves to parade, and several of the oldest city lodges, which have not taken part in a public "procosason for mauy ycirs, will march to-morrow.

Among the guests was Past Grand Master Vaux, late Mayor of Philadelphia. After the banquet Mozart Lodge serenaded Grand Master R. W. John Anthon and J. W. Buck, District Deputy Grand Master, at the Coleman House. THE NEW RAILROAD WAR. Prawn Swords and a Big Fight In Pronpert A KrKulnr ltallroad Kmnpns Kverythlnc Fixed In "Erie" for a Ten Years' Nlee. The announcement in the morning papers of yesterday that a renewal of hostilities had re sulted between the railroad magnates, Fisk and Gould, representing Erie, on the one hand, and Cornelius Vanderbllt on tne other, created much comment on the "street," i. e., Wall street, and much interest was manifested to learn the pre cise nature and extent of the issue. The effect, however, of these reports on the stock repre sented by the contending factions was insignifi cant, and many profess to believe that the con test will be of brief duration, as there is no question of the fact that each of the respective "tubs" can "stand on Its own bottom." With a view, however, to learning the exact facts in the case a reporter paid A VISIT TO COMMODORE VANDERBILT to ascertain his version of the causes which led to the present conflict and the proposed course to be pursued by the New York Central. He was politely received by the Commodore, who said that he did not wish to enter into any news paper controversy, and in the course of a some what general conversation stated his position substantially as follows: The New York Central, Pennsylvania Central, and Erie Railways had entered into an arrange ment seven years ago, establishing similar rates of passenger and freight charges, which had been strictly adhered to by the New York Cen tral, but had been repeatedly deviated from by the other roads. It had been found utterly useless to make any compact or arrangement with the controllers of the Erie, for the reason that they would violate any and every such com pact within twenty-four hours after making it. The only course now open for the Central to pursue was to reduce rates to such a point that it would be Impossible for the competing lines to underbid taem. ims ne proposed to do. lie said that the New York Central, running through the best section of country in the United States, was worth every cent of the par value of its stock, and the directors proposed to pay their stockholders. The Central would hereafter be run simply on its own merits as an independent and competing line, and he thought it was able to cope with any and all possible combinations. 11 it could not he would vacate his iiosltion as president. This was the simple business-like position of the road, and the talk of a "war" and tne sensational articles appear ing from day to day in the newspapers looked very like an attempt to "bear" the market. If that was the object he would only say that he had all the stock he wanted and no more; he neither wanted to buy or Bell, and what he had he was able to carry, in regard to tne parties who were running the Erie Road Mr. Gould and Mr. Fiek he did not think he could gain my honor by noticing them in any way or encouraging an idea in the minds of the un initiated that tliey were engaged in a war with him. THE ERIE BIDE OF THE STORT. Subsequently a reporter called on Messrs. Fisk and Gould, and upon stating the cause of his visit, and asking Mr. Fiek what course he intended to pursue, he replied in a character istic manner, "Why, sir, we intend to fight. Vanderbllt has begun this thing, and wo intend to come up squarely to the scratch and take care of our road to the best of our ability. lie is disappointed at the defeat of his English agents to get control of the Erie, and this is one of his ways of trying to get revenge. There is a meeting of directors now going on, and I will leave you to the care of Jay Gould, who will tell you all about the matter as well or better than I can." Mr. Gould, although decDlv encased, nohtelv gave what information was desired and said: I did not know of this contemplated fight of Mr. Vanderbllt until a day or so ago. The first inti mation we had of it was on receiving the fol lowing LETTER FROM VANDERBILT. New York Central and Hudson River ver ) meg, y 1, 1S70.) K. K. CO., f KKSIDKNT 8 OK New York, June Jay Gould, Esq., President Erie Railway Company: Dear bir i ne understanding in regard to passen ger lares, excursion tickets, aud live stock, between Chicago, IiuiTalo, Pittsburg, and New York, having been entirety disregarded Dy tne Pennsylvania ana Erie Iiallrouds for tne past two or three weeks, with out consultation with the lines I represent, I am obliged to give you notice that from this date all arrangements between us in reierence to the auove will cease. Very truly yours, William II. vandekbilt, Vice-President. THE CAUSE OF THE QUARREL was probably partly owing to our running the fast trains on our road. These lightning ex presses enabled us to control a large share of the passenger travel west, and probably this was not relished by the managers of the com peting road. With regard to the arrangement with the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, I may say that everything is so far satisfactory. 1 telegraphed to Mr. Scott, the Vice-President of the road, the eubstanee of the notice I received from Vauder- bllt, to which he sent the following reply: Philadelphia, June s, 1870. Jay Gould:! have a similar notice. Don't un derstand what the gentleman means exactly, though I am perfectly content to abide his award. Tuomas A. Scott, Vice-President. I then telegraphed to him whether we could depend upon being accommodated by his road, and the answer that came back was as follows: Philadelphia, June 8, 1S70. Jay GorLD: Yes, sir; we will treat you right at Maustield, on the basis stated by Alet'ullougli aud myself when we saw you in New York. Thomas A. Scott, , Vice-President Pennsylvania Central. From the above statement it will be seen that we are in a good position to fiirht in the threatened war? We are crowdod with freight, l ut it must be borne in mind that we have thirty-tlx steamers running on the lake from Buffalo, which aliords us much relief in getting our freight West. In cupe this light becomes too hot we intend to inquire into the question as to whether the other hide have not forfeited their charters by violation of tbein by takiug money in their palace cars. Every fare they take in these drawing-room cars is a violation of their char ter. They are limited to a charge of two ceuts a mile. In coueluion we say that we have not lnaugura'ed this war, but as we are in we intend to fight it out if it lasts tor ten years. iV. Y, Herald to-day.

Three Men Killed Instantly, a Fourth Badly Ilnrned, and a Fifth Deafened Strange Ap pearance of the Remains. One of those fearful occurrences, says the Chicago Republican of Monday, which, from their rarity and suddenness, as well as their in evitableness, fill the observer with a feelingof awe and consternation, happened Saturday about noon. A party of laborers, nine In number, in the employ of Mr. Kline, a contractor, were work ing on Saturday about noon on North avenue, when the thunder-storm commenced. The rain came down heavily and they were compelled to desist and seek shelter from its fury. They ran towards a barn near the corner of Milwaukee avenne. One of the men, named Dowling, was standing near the stairs inside the barn. Staack, another laborer, was sitting outside near the northeast corner. Miner was sitting close by the door, and Eiser, Andrew Kennapel, John Schaenfcld, and a man named Schultz were also in the barn, standing near tne centre. Suddenly a brilliant flash, a streak of light along the wall and the floor, the crackling of splinters and a tremendous crash like the burst ing of a mine, and Eiser, the principal witness, fell stunned upon the floor. He was insensible for a few moments, but, recovering conscious ness, he ran out, terror-stricken, scarcely alive to the surroundings. The drenching rain soon revived him, and be ran back to the barn. Dowling and Miner were lyinjj dead upon the floor, just where a moment before they were sitting in the enjoyment of full health. Running out again, nearly bewildered, Eiser saw Staack stretched upon the ground lifeless. Gradually becoming less excited, he looked round to see if he was the sole survivor of the awful catastrophe, and beheld Schaen feld, Kennappcl, and Schultz together. The last-named man was lying down groaning, the other two standing over him. His legs and thighs were both fearfully burned. Schaenfeld was quite deaf, the shock having temporarily paralyzed the organs of hearing. A number of persons flocked rapidly to the spot, and carried the corpses and the suffering man to the house of Mr. Perl. The barn presented a strange ap pearance, ine boil b true k it at one corner, when the subtle essence passed through to the opposite side, tearing off the boarding and striking down the men, and Eiser says he saw the lightning run along the floor between the men before it exploded. The bodies present no signs whatever of violence. The faces are all calm, placid, and undisturbed, and the dead men wear the appearance of sleepers. Their clothes are uninjured.

I There is no essential change in the local loan market to-day, save that the rates are a shade steadier and less dependent upon the temper of the borrowing classes than usual of late. The public attention is greatly absorbed in the dis cussion of funding and other financial schemes, and in distrust of the future care not to launeh out into any very extensive business or specu lative ventures until the probable coarse of Con gress shall have been better outlined.

Special Despatch to The livening Telegraph, Washington, June 8. Commander Henry "Wilson, of the Frolic, informs the Navy Depart ment, from Charlottetown, Prince Edward's Island, May 30, that the ice is disappearing from the North Shore and the fishing season will soon open. Only one American fishing vessel had arrived as yet in that port, but a number of her ring fishermen have arrived from the Magdalena Islands, who report the season as a failure. No fish are to be found, owing probably to the large fields of ice in the Golf of St. Lawrence, which will likely defer the season for catching macke rel. The British flag-ship Royal Alfred was at Halifax and the gunboat Cherub at St. Johns, N. B., and are expected at Charlottetown during the present month. American Honor to Queen Victoria.

FORTY-FIRST CEU1H-NECOND 8EMMION. Senate. Washington. June 8. Mr. Ferrv presented a mamn. rial from a Mr. Hatch, aettins forth th&t his riehts as nn American citizen nau been violated in mo uniustitiabla arrest, inipriaouraenUand mtwoi to death Uy ine Oo ' minican authorities.and thai his release was prevented by the interDoiution of General Babcook. an ulheer of tha United biatet) army, wno was acting as commissioner lor tne annexation oi nan uommfto. Mr. l'erry commented upon the ease, asserting that General liubcock hud state.! that the imprisonment was necessary to prevent nun from divulging in Washington certain objections to tne .ratiuoasion ot the Lloiiiinlcan treaty. If the truth of the asxertion was shown, General Babcock deserved no longer to be an oltiaor of the United btates. Mr. rinmner lie ouent to ne cashiered at once. Mr. Ferry moved the reference of the mutter to the Committee on JVoreign Relations, with instructions to send tor oersons and babers. Mr. Chandler aaid the man was a troublesome, worthless scoundrel, wh, without any sort of authority, had given a certificate to a ship of war to leave a port of ban Domingo to prey noon tba Dominican Government, and had in va rious ways co-operated with the rebels. Ue thought the great mistake of tbat Government was that they had not executed him. Mr. Ferry said Mr. Hatch was a resident of the town in which he himself lived, that he knew him, and would trust to his konor and integrity as quickly as ha wonld rust the senator ironi micmgan. After the exceedingly vile language of that gentleman, it was neeesaarv a word should be aaid in reierenoe ta Mr. Hatch, lie proceeded to show tbat the authority tor the statement 01 Air. unanaier woaia De shown to De an foar ded. i Mr. tiumner considered the question not as a poraonal one, but as involving the graver question ot' an attempt by an army officer co negotitie a ire ty ior ine united ntates, and for that purpose lending himself to a mavnination to keep an American oiuzen in prison. Mr. Nye objected to a reference to the Committee on Foreign Relations, of which Mr. tiumner was chairman, in view of that "onator's assertion that General Kttbcouk should be cashiered at once. That language was unbe coming any man who was to sit as a judge upon the case, as it committed Dim againat the accused la advance 01 hnarinir. Mr. bumner said hit remark implied a consideration of all the facts in the case. Mr. Nie moved to refer the matter to a special commit tee 01 five to be appointed by the Chair. The Vice-f resiaent, in putting tne question, desired to be relieved from making the appointment, but several Senators objected, Mr. Morton remarking inai it oad Dees tne invariable custom for the Uhair to appoint, air tlarnanter wanted a full investigation, but not bv a committee that had prejudged the oase. Ue thought this a fit opportunity for aome investigation by the chairman of tbat committee, the be-all and end-all of tbat commit tee, into tne wrouurs uoon American citizens in Uuua. Mr. Thayer was not to be drawn into a crusade against an officer of the Government UDon sinister motives.
