nex..The Masons of Now York State
have bought the buildings and grounds
abandoned by the Peoples' College, at
Havana, Schuyler county, and are go
ing to establish a home for the desti
tute of their Order, and for the orphans
and widows of Masons. The property,
'which consists of one hundred acres,
with buildings recently erected for a
college, is said to be worth $lOO,OOO.
A RENCONTRE.—On Monday, July
2d, after the adjournment of the Crim
inal Court, on the Surratt trial, high
words ensued between Judge Fisher
and Mr. Bradley, in reference to a
ruling of the Judge. Words wore
leading to. blows when Deputy Mar
shall Roberts placed himself between
them and prevented any broken noses
or black eyes. What a fall was there,
my countrymen
.tql,:rhero is some sign of_ a- filibus
tering expedition being raised in the
United States and Austria to invade the
Mexicali possessions, and to overthrow
the Republic, or whatever you might
call it.' We have no fears that such a
demonstration will amount to much, if
1.. amounts to anything at all more
than talk. The Mexicans havo had
and will havo troublo enough, without
being posted with such bands of ban
ditti.
THE SURRA.TT TRIAL.—We have en
deavoredto keep up with the trial of
Barrett, and have given all the most
important testimony to our readers in
the columns of the Globe. The testi
mony of the prosecution closed on
Saturday. the 6th inst., and the testi
mony of the defence was commenced.
The defence intend to prove that the
testimony of the prosecution is false,
and to show that Surratt was not ,in
Washington on the day of the assass
ination.
re_Congress,has passed a supple
mentary Reconstruction bill and sent
it to the President. Sectiou 2 provides
that the commander of any district,
shall have power, subject to the disap
proval of the General of the army of
the United States, to remove any per
son holding any civil or military office
in such district. Section 3 invests the
General of the United States with all
the powers of suspension, removal, ap
pointment and detail granted in the
preCeding section to district comman
ders. We will give the bill next week,
mit is said that from October, 1861,
when Napoleon cunningly induced
Spain and England to join France in
an attack upon Mexico, until tho with
drawal of the French troops, a few
znorithi - ago, tho expenditure to ostab•
lish the now defunct Mexican empire
was so immense that France is $65,-
000,000 out of pocket by tho transac
tion. When it is considered that the
invasion and attempted occupation of
Mexico were nominally based upon the
non-payment, of Mexican debts to
French croditOrs, it will be seen that
the 'French have_ mightily bettered
themselves.
TrEs Huntingdon Globe seems to be
in favor of forming a political party to
bo composed of no•party men ! Friend
Lewis might as well attempt to form a
church without creed.—Lewistown
Gazette,
Not so, friend Frysingor. We would
rather see a party of no party mon, op
posed to the rascalitios and corrup
tions of the political parties of the pros
ent day. When such a party is form
•ed, 'the Country may rest in peace from
`the A rasping ambition now in voguo
to maintain power. Tho leaders of
both parties aro corrupt and ambitious,
while their followers humbly bow to
the banners of their "party," and only
Wink'when their consciences are smit
ten on beholding some new unrighteous
measure in the name of their "party."
GREAT INDIAN WAIL—A terrible
account of a great approaching Indian
conflict reaches us froth the far West.
Eastern Montana is represented as the
scone of the tragedy. The Indians, it
is said, have massed a body of 20,000
Warriors, who intend to enter the Gal
latin Valley in force, and passing down
it, destroy all the improvements of
the settlers, steal all the stock, and
take a scalp for every white man, wo
man and child they.meet,then plunder
the-Missouri, and escape into her Ma
jesty's' dominions in the north,whither
they , sent their women, children and
superannuated men months ago. It is
to be hoped that this picture is too
highly colored; at least it is earnestly
hoped that Gon. Sherman will make
such disposition of his troops as to pro-
ventthe atrocities that attend the tri
umphal march of the savages, or suc
ceed in so utterly demoralizing their
ranks as to keen them forever from
raising their reeking tomahawks and
znoreilessly scalping innocent white
men, women and children. We would
bo glad if the present Indian demon
strations of war have come upon us ; if
it'results,in' the total annihilation of
the treacherous, impudent and barbar
ous element in their race. The Gene
ral promises a vigorous prosecution of
the war, and we have no fears that
such is his intention ; but his actions
will convince us the stronger.
The Crawford County System,
The corruption of the usual delegate
nominating system has been so man
ifestly apparent to every observing
man who has had any interest in poli•
tics whatever, that honest moo dread
to be chosen as delegates, not wishing
to be led into temptation. The off
spring of the delogato system has been
just to the liking of the "wire pullers"
and many of the office-seekers. The
politicians now have it their own way,
but all that is wanted to take the no
minations out of their bands to a great
extent, is to adopt another system,
which is in vogue in Crawford, Sny
der, Armstrong and several of the
northern counties, and which, so far,
has worked well. No give below the
rules, which under the Crawford coun
ty system, as it is called, govern the
nominations
First. The candidates for the several
offices shall have their names announ
ced in one or more of the county pa
pers at least three weeks previous to
the primary meeting, stating the office,
and subject to the actipn of the party at
thocaid primary meeting.
Second. The voters responding to
principles in each town, or borough
shall meet on the--day of
at tho usual place of holdin ,, the spring
elections ' at 2 and pro
ceed to elect bno person for judgo and
two persons for clerks, who shall form
a board of election to receive votes and
determine who aro proper persons to
vote,aud shall hold the polls open until
6 P. M. After the polls are opened the
candidates announced as aforesaid shall
be balloted for ; the name of each per
son voting shall be written on a list' at
the time of voting, no person being al
lowed to vote more than once for each
office.
Third. After the polls arc closed the
board shall prooced to count the votes
that each candidate received, and make
out the returns accordingly, to be cer
tified to by the judge and attested by
thei clerks.
Fouith. The judge [or ono of the
clerks appointed by tho judge] of the
respective election districts, shall meet
at the Court house, in Huntingdon on
Tuesday following the primary meet
ings, at 1 o'clock P. M., having the re
turns and a list of the voters, and count
the votes, and the person having the
highest number of votes for any office
shall be declared the regular nominee
of the party.
Fifth. Any two or more persons
having an equal number of votes for
the same offico,the judges shall proceed
to ballot for a choice, the person hav
ing the highest number to be the
nominee.
Sixth. The return Judges shall be
competent to reject, by a majority, the
returns from any election district,
where there is evidence of fraud, eith
er in the returns, or otherwise, to the
extent of the frauds committed.
A riot occurred in Tennessee, on
the Gth, between the negro Union Lea
guers and the white conservatives.
Eighty of the negrocs belonging to the
League, paraded the streets in regalia,
with a band of musk., and armed, oc•
casionally firing a salute. Some al
tercation between some of the whites
and the colored Leaguers ensued after
the speaking had been peaceably con
cluded, and the latter retired in bad
humor to a grove where they were
pacified however, by a son of Doctor
Cliffe, who advised them to return to
their hall. This they did, but night
coming on , and after coming out of
their ball, it is alleged they wero fired
on by a party .of conservatives. The
fire was instantly 'returned, and a short
fight followed, in which ono white man
was shot through the heart, and eight
whites and eighteen blacks wounded.
The radical blacks were much exas
perated, and threatened to renew the
attack, but Dr. Oliffe interposed, and
prevailed on them to desist. There is
a difference of statements concerning
the origin of the fracas. Ou one hand
it is charged that the colored leaguers
were armed, were menacing in deport
ment, and desired a fight; on the other
that they bad been previously and re
peatedly assaulted, and they were ar
med in self-defense. We judge it is
about six of ono and half a dozen of
the other. The whites aro to blame for
aggravating them, and the blacks are
to blame for carrying such deadly
weapons with the evident intention of
creating a disturbance. At any rate
what good is to be accomplished by
the forming of colored Leagues in the
South. Is it not the result of Radical
teaching? is it not ono of the many
means by which the Radicals seek to
obtain and maintain their power over
the whites of the South ?
MAXIMILIAN DEAD.—Wu have news
of the exetiution of Maximilian by the
Liberals in Mexico, on the 19111 of Juno.
Thus ends the troubled reign of a for
eign potentate'in a troubled Republic,
if such wo may call it. He was sent
to Mexieo'hy Emperor Napoleon, and
it was with difficulty that ho was in
duced to accept the unenviable crown.
Ho was escorted to the Mexican shores
by French troops, but these having
been notified to withdraw by the 'Uni
ted States government, the would-be
Emperor Max has had a serious time
of it since, being beaten by the Liberal
forces, and followed by them from ono
stronghold to ttnother, until he was
finally forded to surrender at Quere
taro. He was tried and executed, al
though the United States Government
sent a request that his life be spared.
The news reached Paris, when•Nape
leon ordered the French Court to be
draped in mourning, in consequence.
What further will be tried by that wily
monarch Napoleon, in retaliation of
the indignity thus offered, is difficult
to divine. The United States may
come in for a share of his displeasure,
however, for thwarting his designs so
promptly and effectually in the begin
ning. We hardly think Napoleon likes
us, and the sooner he shows it the bet
ter will be his satisfaction.
"The World Moves."
Charles B. Moss, (sometimes called
"Colonel Moss") writes as follows to the
Anti-Slavery Standard :
"Speaking of Vice-Presidents, cer
tain distinguished Senators and Repro
sontatives in Congress who have been
courting the negro vote, in the expec
tation of getting that position, will
wake up some fine morning and find
themselves wonderfully mistaken. The
African vote will be the ruling vote in
cloven States of this Union. By the
ruling vote, I mean the vote that will
determine the result of the election.
That fact the intelligent African un
derstands, and is laying plans. lie
understands well that, without the
negro vote, a Republican candidate for
President cannot bo elected. Under
standing that fact the Africans begin
to declare emphatically that the Re
publican party shalt not uss them mil
material for carrying elections,and turn '
them aside in the disposition of the
public patronage. They say that furn•
ishing votes must be reciprocated by re
ceiving a j ust share of the offices. tend
in that they aro right. Itis butsimple jus
tice to those men who do the voting to
grant them a fair proportion of the of
ficial positions. There are several ne
groes fitted for the position of Vice-
President, and that race claim that the
second office in the gift of the nation
shall be filled by a negro. That, they
say, must be accorded to the black
race by the Republican party as a
proof of the honesty of its profession of
attachment to the principles of equal
rights to all men regardless of race
or color. If that demand is refused,
they will consider the Republican par
ty dishonest in its professions and vote
against it in the Presidential'election.
"In that view the negro is right,aud
it is to be hoped he will put the party
to that test. John M. Langston, of
Ohio, is well qualified to fill the posi
tion of Vice-President, and the negro
need never be ashamed of insisting up
on the Republican party placing him
upon the ticket as the condition of re
ceiving their support. Such an act
would complete the triumph of right
and justice so far as equality of race is
concerned. It would also put an end
to the trimming, intriguing conduct of
white seekers fir that position, and
leave them at liberty to act honestly
for the next four years.
"Such a demand, resolutely hacked
up by the negro, will be sure to suc
ceed, and the Republican party could
not do without that vote. The negro
vote in 1868 will number about 650 000,
so scattered over eleven States as to
turn the elections in Bach directions as
they shall see fit. There are, also,
about 600,000 votes in the North that
would join in supporting such nomina
tion, and that vote is so located as to
turn the elections into whatever di•
rection they choose in eight or nine
other States. The Republican party,
therefore, dare not refuse to nominate
Mr. Langston, or some other member
of the African race, if that people re
solutely require it. That they will re
quire it, I have the best of reasonsfor
for believing. Stranger and infinitely
more disreputable things have happen
ed in this nation than would bo the
election of Wendell Phillips as Presi
dent and John M. Langston as Vice-
President in 1868. The Republican
party would not dare refuse the nomi
nation of this ticket if resolutely press
ed."
PRESIDENTIAL.--The Titusville Her
ald nominates Gen. Grant for Presi
dent, and Hon. Galuslm. A. Grow for
Vice President. The W ilmington (Del.)
Commercial nominates Gen. Grant for
President and Hon. W. D. Kelley for
Vico President.
The Harrisburg Telegraph pronoun
ces the following oracular words:
"We are inclined to the opinion that
the crisis in national affairs to which
we aro fast verging, will produce or
single out the man to be made the can
didate of the Republican party for the
Presidency. A great leader, yet un
named but living for usefulness, will be
brought out in time, and prove himself
capable of guiding the nation out of
the difficulties into which it has been
plunged in order to screen our worst
enemies."
Of course the Telegraph was too mod
est to say that the name of "the groat
leader" is Simon Cameron.
The New York Commercial says
"Speaker Colfax, so for, leads off in
the race for the Presidency. His friends
are confident. The other Congressional
candidates aro Butler, Boutwell,Banks,
Pcssenden, Sumner, Wade, Wilson,
and lately, Roscoe Conkling. The can
vass for the nomination is getting hot,
and Colfax's friends claim that their
candidate has the inside track."
The Surratt Trial,
On "Monday, the Bth, James G. Giff
ord testified: On the night of the Jae
sassination witness was out, in•tront . at
the end of the second and third acts.
He wont through the stago . entrance on
the south side of the theatre. Did not
soo Booth that night. Knew Booth
from his boyhood. Never saw Surratt
until I saw him here. Saw a gentle
man . come down and call the time. Ho
was connetted with the theatre ; came
down from F street. Ho was to go on
that night for a song, and asked Mr.
Carlin what time it was, and Carlin
stepped up and looked at the clock
and said it was ten minutes past ten.
He stopped there a few minutes, and
then went in. Other persons had been
standing around at the time, but if
Booth bad been there witness would
have noticed him.
C. D. Hess testified the same as above.
He said ho did not see Surratt on the
night of the assassination. On Tues
day not much testimony was offered.
A great many witnesses testified to
their want of confidence in the truth
fulness of John Lee.
On Wednesday Thos. J. Raybold
testified to having charge of the front
of the theatre and of the boxes on the
night of the assassination, but never
saw the prisoner before.
Further testimony was elicited
against the veracity of some of the wit
nesses for the prosecution.
On Thursday there was the same
kind of evidence against the witnesses.
On Saturday Joseph Carroll testified
that ho thought ho told a Mr. Knapp
that he saw Surratt at :Elmira the 13th
and 14th of April. After listening to
some further testimony concerning the
movements of Mrs. Surratt the Court
adjourned until Monday.

[From Thu Now York Times.]
Tennessee Not a Model ofßeoonstruo
ted States.
Some of our contemporaries have
extolled Tennessee as a pattern to be
admired and imitated by the people of
States engaged in the work of recon
struction. "If the States now exclu
ded," it is said, "will follow Tennessee
in disfranchising Rebels, and make
their respective Brownlows the admin
istrators of their affairs and their rep
resentatives in Congress, there need be
no misgiving as to the prompt recog
nition of the work performed."
Now, we can conceive of' no greater
calamity than tho multiplication of
Tennessees as members of the Ameri
can Union. Of the whole South, Ten
nessee is beyond doubt the part in
which the least has been done towards
genuine reconstruction. IL is nominal
ly loyal, of course. It is represented in
the regi3n over which the provisions
of the military government eels ex
tend. And yet what is its condition ?
Essentially volcanic. Loyal strength is
the result not of loyal votes, but of
Rebel disfranchisement. Brownlow's
authority is contingent upon the ap
plication of the crushing process to
the majority of the.people. lie is as ab
solute in his sphere us any of the mili
tary commanders in theirs, and infi
nitely more unscrupulous. lie makes
laws to suit his purposes. Be inter
prets laws accordinto the dictates of
his cOitt'aFtenv!e - . -- 1 tightens the dis
franchising screw as often as he finds
it necessary, and employs the bayonet
when no less pungent weapon will car
ry his point. The result is that the State
he governs approaches nearer and near
er to anarchy. Nowhere on the conti
nent, save in hapless Mexico, is life or
property less secure, or liberty a more
transparent mockery. A condition of
civil war really exists all the time—
smothered it may be, but liable at any
moment to burst forth under the ex
citement of some sudden difficulty.
No other state of things is possible
so long as the Brownlow doctrine of
reconstruction is allowed to prevail.
For a period, perhaps, it had its uses.
While the Rebellion lasted, any less
rigorous rule might have failed to keep
in check the hostile elements with
which the Border States abounded;
but there is no pretext for perpetua
ting in pease the ironhanded adminis
tration which was indipensable amidst
the turmoil of war. The country re
quires the allegiance of its citizons,but
this is possible only when the powers
that be cease to heap penalties upon
whole classes, and to persecute as out
laws all who refuse to pronounce their
party Shibboleth.
Brownlow proceeds on the notion
that it is necessary, day after day, to
pile coals of fire upon the heads of the
treat majority of the people, simply
because they decry his acts and seek
go thwart his ambition. A statesman
similarly situated would acknowledge
mutual reconciliation as the stepping
stone to reconstruction; he would see
that the loyalty of a State can have no
efficient guarantee except the attach
ment of the people; and he would
avoid the fatal blunder of supposing
that the elevation of his nominees to
power is a te,t of the fitness of the
people for the possession of the fran
chise. In a word, a wise ruler, (teen.
pyie Brownlow's position, within the
period which has elapsed since the
close of the Rebellion, would have re
stored Tennessee to peace, and placed
it fa r on the road to prosperity.—
Brownlow, on' the contrary, by pursu
ing a course of which almost fiendish
malignity is the chief characteristic,
has alienated class from class, driven
moderate Unionis's into alliance with
unrepentant Rebels, and forced his
State, rich in natural resources, to a
condition of desperation, almost of de•
spair.
We aro glad, to see that the exalta
tion of Tennessee as a model State is
deprecated by influential Radical jour
nals. Missouri has tried the proscrip
tive policy thoroughly, and the St
„Louis Democrat is not disposed to ree
otnmend its adoption "Tennessee,"
that print remarks, "is not a 'milieu
laxly good pattern for other States. It
is not absolutely certain," the Democrat
adds, "that the methods adopted by
the loyal men there may not fail to se
cure their safety." The probabilities
point in the other direction. There
can be no permanent safety in meth
ods which imply the continued parade
of the conqueror's authority.
Contrasted with the Tennessee sys
tem, the reconstruction policy of Con
gress is merciful and just. Stern it is,
indeed, and despotic fora time, but it
opens the doors to a milder authority,
and offers inducement's to the accept
ance of conditions by which the South
may materially improve its position.
Tho guarantees it exacts imply no
long-eontinuod humiliation, and no
more radical changes than those
which follow logically from the late
conflict.
: Instead of commending Tennessee
as a model to be imitated by the
States, or to be respected in, framing
the policy ct the Republic, We submit
that it should ho studied as an illustra
tion of the evils and &ingot* of a the
ory of reconstruction based upon nar
row-mindedness and hate. Congress
holds in its bands the power of secur
ing loyal Organizations throughout the
South. For the rest, reliance must be
placed upon the amended spirit and
will of the people, and these aro more
likely to be affected by a generous for
bearance, as suggested by Sickles, than
by the intolerance and lawless violence
which have their official incarnation
in the irreverond Brownlow.
A NEGRO ON RECONSTRUOTION.—A
special dispatch says that at a negro
meeting held near Charlottsville, Va.,
on the 4th, a colored preacher was the
chief spokesman. Ile said ho would bo
satisfied with nothing less than abso
lute social as well as political equal
ity, and he would not think re
construction properly effected until
ho could enter the parlor of the best
white man in the land and addressed us
Mr. Lindsey. Ho urged the nogroes to
elect a black Governor, and a fair
share of the legislature, one Senator
and all the Congressmen they could
get.
TITE COST.—Tho.Reconstruction Bill
is now in the hands of the President.
The amount required to carry it into
effect is a snug sum. The War Depart-
ment estimates it at 31,618,277. Fine
pickings for somebody.
FROM MEXICO,
Maximilian Shot on the 19th ofSune.
NEW -Yollx, July 1.-- 7 The Tribune's
Washington special says : The follow
dispatch was received by the Ameri
can Minister Saturday evening :
Southwest Pass,La., via New Orleans
—To Count Wydenbruck : I come
from. Vera Cruz to teloo b raph you of
the condemnation and death of the
Emperor Maximilian on the 10th inst.,
President Juarez refuses to deliver up
the body. GROLIER TEHIEFE,
Captain Austrian Sloop.
Count Wydenbruelc is absent from
the city at present. To-day his Sec
retary of Legation sent a dispatch by
the cable to Emperor Francis Joseph
of A.ustria,and the Emperor Napoleon,
announcing Maximilian's execution.
The event has produced a great ex
citement hero among the foreign min
isters. The residence of the Austrian
minister has been visited today by
nearly all of these officials, who called
to condole and obtain the latest intel

The following dispatch was receiv

T. A. Rot:, Commander,
Information received here yester

Nlaximilian was shot on the 10th of
June at seven o'clock A.. M, and that
the friends of Maximilian asked the
privilege of removing his body for the
purpose of sending it to Europe, but
the request was refused.
It is believed that Juarez reluctant
ly consented to the execution of Maxi
milian. When the messenger bearing
the dispatches from our Government
relative to sparing the life of Maximil•
ian delivered his packages to Juarez,
the latter informed him that he was
disposed to spare the life of Maximilian,
but the pressure from Mexican leaders
and people for his execution was so
great that it would he almost impossi

The State Library,
Pennsylvania has now the finest
State Library apartments to be found
in the country The new and commo
dious library room was formally open
ed on Wednesday evening, when a
very large and select company assem
bled to hear an address from Gover
nor Geary. His Excellen . cy's remarks
were mainly historical, and, conse
quently, the more interesting. The
room is fifty-four feet wide and ono
hundred and two feet long, with the
ceiling twenty-two feet fbur inches
high. A gallery, supported by sixteen
Corinthian pillars, extends arounds
the entire room. Sixteen pillars cor
responding with the above, run from
the:bottoin of the gallery to the coiling.
The gallery on both sides and one end
of the room, is twelve feet wide, while
at the east end it, is seventeen feet
wide. The centre of the ceiling is oc•
copied by a sky-light seventy-five feet
long and eighteen feet wide, composed
of ground glass, with border and star
figures rising at an angle of forty-five
_dogroes, to the central ridge. Tho
ceiling is elaborately moulded in a se
ries of panels,ornamented with central
rosette. The first floor contains ono
thousand five hundred and sixty
square feet of shelving, and the gallery
two thousand eight hundred and eight
square feet of box shelves. An im
mense parallelogram, provided with
chairs and sofas for the accommodation
of visitors, is on the centre of the first
floor. In the centre of this there is a
sexangular structure of well polished
walnut, eight feet in diameter, on the
top is,to be plated a full-length statue
of Minerva, and the topsides are fitted
up for writing purposes. Two ele
gant spiral stair-ways lead to the gal
lon', in the right and felt corners of
the front end of the room. Fitch
forms a perfect circle, with a radius of
four feet. The floor is covered with
a rich Brussels carpet, woven in Goth•
is medallion, the principal colors be
ing white, orange and purple. Thir
teen hundred yards of carpet wore
required. The Library is lighted by
means of fourteen chandelicrs,six burn
ers each, suspended between the pillars
along the outer edges of the gallery,
and by,aixteen pillar lights on the top
of the balustrade of the gallery. There
are a'so bracket lights in the two
front corners of the room, for the use
of the Librarian and his Assistant at
their desks. The whole number of gas
burners is one hundred and thirty-four
and all are furnished with beautiful
glass globes. The sofas, tables, and
chairs are of the best walnut, covered
with green rep. The woodwork of the
room is finished in lepina gloss. The
whole arrangement is of the most com
plete character, and reflects great cred
it on the State Librarian, Wein For
ney, Esq , who had charge of its eon
stt•uction, and who has the good for
tune to be its first official occupant.
There are twenty eight thousand
