BrTi.Kfi, Secniftri/. A COPPERHEAD SPEECH. A good joke yvaiy ptTpotmled at the Fair Grounds *llh of.lnly celebration. A young man from one of'thc rural dis tricts, who had, it seems, given more attention to polities than he had to the history of his country, stood near to Prof. Gillelen as lie- read the Declara tion of Independence. After listening attentively for some minutes, lie turned away in disgust, and said to an ac quaintance—“ do you know who that man is who is making that copperhead speech?” His friend, convulsed with laughter, told him it was not a speech hut the Declaration of Independence ho had been listening to. Our rural Radi cal walked off without saying.a word in reply, hut his countenance indicated that ho was not at all pleased with Thomas Jofl’crson’s sentiments. It was not much wonder onr fledgeling Radical felt uncomlortnblo when he heard the solid truths and patriotic sen timents of the ovcr-to-bc-revcrcd Dee ' iaration rend in his hearing for the first time. Not much wonder that he con cluded if was “ n copperhead speech” that was being read., Every sentence contained in that glorious old Declara tion isa condemnation of the present Ra dical-negro-equality party. Nearly eve ry complaint made in it against the arbitrary insolence and overbearing tyr anny of the King of Great Britain, can be made now with equal truth and force against the Radieal-Jncobins and the Rump Congress, man read over those complaints of onr Fathers, and see how forcibly they apply to the agrarians and infidels who have usurped the powers of this government. It re ally looks as if the Radicals had adopted the identical plans of George 111 for the oppression of Hie people. The unsoph isticated Radical was not so much mis taken then after all. When the Dec laration of Independence was rend in his hearing he was certainly giving ear to “ a copperhead speech j” a speech from the people against tyrants, usur pers and robbers. THE MOII AT WASH IXIJTOX The Rump Congress reassembled on the 3d inst. Finding that quite a num ber of the Radical members had gone to Europe, and that the Radical two thirds majority vote was short, the , Bumpers put their heads together to concoct a plan by which to remedy 1 lie evil. The Kentucky delegation being solid Democratic, the attention of the conspirators was directed to it. “ Let us throw the whole delegation out, and thus preserve our two-thirds vote,” said the* infamous Logan of Illinois. “A good idea,” responded Thad Stevens, of Pennsylvania. “To preserve our par ty strength we could not do it more ef fectually than by disfranchising Ken tucky,” added Ingersoll, another Illi nois Jacobin. A vote was at once ta ken, and the C'ongrcssmeu-elect from Kentucky were voted out—their seats refused them ! As if to make a two thirds vote doubly sure to the Radicals, a motion was made .to exclude Mr. Uarnum of Connecticut, from his sent, on the frivolous charge that lie had “used money to effect his election.”— Mr. Barnum was voted out! Tins is revolution, and the so-called ‘‘Congress" is nothing hut a mob of perjured scoundrels. 1 hi- Democratic members, in onr opinion, are commit ting a grave error in remaining in their seats with men who mock at the Con stitution and the rights of tin- people.— They should at once go home, and pre pare their constituents for the crisis which la rapidly approaching. It now appears a fixed fact that the people must either submit to a Radical Despo tism, or defend their rights by force.— Never in the history of any country were the interests and rights of the people so ruthlessly disregarded and mocked at. Never was treason more boldly announced and defended. We repeat, the vote of the Rump, depriving the legally elected representatives of Kentucky and Connecticut from taking their seats, is revolution, and should lie regarded as such. Wo are in full ear nest when wo declare it ns onr belief that the leaders of the Radical party are determined to create a despotism or monarchy in our country. Lot the peo ple, if they desire to save the liberties bequeathed them by the Fathers of the Republic, be up and doing before it is too late. 165“ The Democracy of Lancaster achieved another great victory, on Fri day, the 28thi ult., in electing twelve members of the City School Board, by an average majority of GOO. For years the Radicals have controlled the School Board in that Democratic sfrongholi . itnd been using it for selfish'and part nan purposes. The Democracy stood until “ forbearance ceased to he a vi tue.” Since this last crushing victory - of the white men for their own and their children’s interests, the Radical leaders threaten them with the interference o: a Radical Court or Legislature; bill from present appearances the people ol Pennsylvania will not be cursed with the latter again. The gallant Democ racy, however, of that city have no fear and are prepared to fight the “ world, flesh and devil,” and a Radical Court and Legislature to hoot. Gen. Thomas F. Meagher, Acting Governor of Montana, fell into the water from the deck of a steamboat at Fort Benton on the night of the Ist instant, and was drowned. His body was not i recovered. The Japanese Commissioners have paid $300,000 on account of the ram Stonewall, and will pay $lOO,OOO more upon their return home, i OVR lIIKLAMI. The stale device) of stilling popular dlscusi-m: with royal pageantry Is likely lo bo tried in In land, a Dublin paper announcing “on good au thority” that the Duke of Cambridge Jr about to pay an oflloial visit to that country, and that he ivlil he accompanied by the Prince of Wales.— Whatever demonstrations may attend the pro posed visit, there is no likelihood that It will nave mneh ellectln pacifying the'lrish'. What Ireland wants, to restore peace and eonlldenee, is substantial Justice from England. Without tills, royal visits will he lit it a heller than a mock ery of her miseries. —Xcw York Tribune, It looks strange to see our Radical journals constantly upbraiding Knglmid for doing the very thing wo are guilty of ourselves. ThcJWiimc can complain of tiio injustice of England toward Ire land, and in the very same number commend the doings'of the Rump Con gress for its assaults upon the people of the .South. It is true, as the Tribune remarks, that royal pageantry will not pacitydiie 1 rish people; and it is equally true IhatsatrapValeand brutal demands will not pacify the people of our Ire land—the South, it is tme again, as the 7ViVamc says—what Irdlnnd wants, to restore peace and eonlldenee, is sub stantial jusliee from England.” How easy will it be for English journalists to apply tliis truism of the Tribune to ns. What tlie South wants, to restore peace ami eonlldenee, is substantial Justice from our Government. Every man knows—and no one better than Sir. Greeley—that the policy adop ted by the Rump Congress for the gov ernment of tlie ton Southern States, is calculated and' intruded to engender a hitler feeling and a deep-seated haired between tlie whites and tlie blacks and tlie people North and South, To'“re store peace and confidence” is just what the Uadical-negro-equttlityites don’t want and are determined not to have. Radicalism only thrives where oppres sion, tyram y, stealing and villainy are in vogue. This infamous party nr fac tion is now and always was a minority parly. Lincoln was a minority Presi dent, and the Rump is a minority Con gress, lint yet IhomajoAtyareeompeilcd to yield obedience to edicts that the Czar of Russia would lie ashamed lo promulgate. It ill becomes the Radicals then, to prate about tlie arbitrary ride England exercises over Ireland. True it is that rule is tyrnnical, infamous and unjust, Iml it is not half as (yranieal or half ns unjust as is the rule of tlie satraps in ton States of our Onion. Let our peo ple, it they do not tle.-ire the sneers and condemnation of the civilized world, put a stop to this tyranny and villainy. Let tlie man who >ays (lie Southern Slates shall not re.-nmeiheir places and their duties in (bo Union lie regarded ns a traitor and irented as such. Tlie people of this country cannot afford to pay enormous taxes and keep up a standing army in the South at a cost of fifty millions of dollars a year merely that tlie Radical party may live. Down with ,tho (lisunionists, we say, even if force lias to be resorted to. Oflicial Corrupt ion Under this heading, Col. Piatt, late Radical member uf the Legislature from Logan County, Ohio, gives the rotten ness of ids party associates another lin glc-olast, similar to that whichacouple of weeks since, stirred up a most pun gent funffo among thecorruption-hidcrs aml.apologists. hi this article lie ac knowledges to “ having been severely commented upon, by some contempora ries and remonstrated witli by certain friends,” hut says, in response, “we cannot help this.” We give lint the more direct points of the article. He say.- : We believe that onr success depends on an exposure ol these iraiuls and an ex pulsion of the scamps. It juis become Known abroad that, much of the national indebtedness, calling for heavy taxation lo pay, not the principle, but the interest, originated in dishonesty, and went to en riching roguesinstead ofihe Government. Now with the lime upon us that calle for the entire income of the former, mechan ic, merchant and professional man to pay our National, .Stale and local taxation, the consideration of this fact comes to he one of vital importance. And they whose hard earningsare being wrung from them, will not tolerate any party that winks at. covers up, or directly or indirectly con ceals these frauds. Nor will they tolerate any organization that lacks the courage to expose and the power to punish this rascality. “And yet the partisian considerations arc precisely what give impunity to the rogues. Committees arc appointed hv Congress, and one of these nearly a year since, traced a fraud involving a million of dollars, to the <loor*Rf an oJhchd so high in ollice and the affections of the people, that all would no startled and pained were it made public. And the report has never been puLlinhoU. Ami why? Ho cause it might affect the next election. “ We are paving more than we can af ford to pay in the way of taxation, lo meet the interest on millions and mil lions of money stolen from the treasury. Whiskey is whiskey with money in it; cotton is cotton with money in it; In dian management is 1 ndian management with money in it.. Officials go in poor ami come out wealthy. Palaces are spot ting the land, vieing in cost and splendor the palaces of Kurope. Islands and wide domains arc being purchased, and special trains are run for an aristocracy that grows fat while the people suffer/ It is lime for the Republican press to speak out and >pare not.” tliir Gen. Sickles lias rim nut nf mon ey and now asks to bo relieved from bis Absolutism in the Carol inns, find Mr. Lincoln’s policy, dictated by “charity for all and malice towards none,” been adopted, these and all the other rebel States would have been reconstructed *two years ago, without the cost of a dol lar from the over-taxed people; but five “ Brigadier Generals of the regular army,” with an appropriate quantity of subordinate officers and soldiers will cost money, and Sickles writes to Sena tor Wilson for an extra session and more money. An extra session of Con gress, additional appropriations, heavi er taxes, more'financial confusion, and a general stagnation of business, with a consequent want of employment of the laboring class—these are some of the blessings of Radical rule. The Rump Senate Judiciary Com miltee have agreed upon a ‘‘ reconstruc tain” hill giving to Gen. Grant full au thority over the military commanders, none of whom can lie removed except by Ids orders. Of Course the President, being the constitutional commander-in chief, will never submit to such a bill, if pas-ed. Hon. Bailie Peyton lias been nonii natde for Congress by tire Conservatives of the Nashville district,. The customs receipts for June wore $11,000,000, and from internal revenue but $21,000,000. Austria has made an official request of Juarez for Maximilian’s body. The receipts from internal taxes tow average a m.lilon a day. I JIIKGK THE TKKE Itf ITS I'KIUT. (Jo die lOih of January last Col. J'or noy, spake in this wise, through his Philadelphia oracle', the Press; —“ Most of the leading papers of Pennsylvania have already spoken out, in strong terms, against the election of Simon Cameron as United mates Senator, as it would lead to the certain destruction of tlie Republican Union party in our Slate, and leading men are now on tlie ground in Harrisburg, advising tlie strongest measures lo prevent his nom ination and election.” Forney then goes on to show Unit such election could only lie secured by corrupt means, and concludes ids article as follows:—“ The resolute men at the eapitol, under (lie lead of Thaddeus Stevens, are deter mined that Simon Cameron shall not ho elected Senator without a hold protest against it. And, if that calamity should hefal the State, they will go to the peo ple on the issue, letting all the facts ho known.” Notwithstanding tins oracular dec laration, in advance, the Williamsport Convention passed over tliis momen tous .subject in silence, thus tacitly en dorsing tlie limn and the corrupt means by which lie was elected. As lo what tlie means were, we might cite proof from numerous Republican papers, hut . we give the Pi/tsguri/ Commercial alone tvs a witness; it spoke out on. the sub ject _iu very explicit terms, Just before the election. Of certain members it saitl :s-“ Should they persist to the end in this course, and finally vote for Cameron, nothing on earth can save them, for all time to come, from tlie imputation of having been .bought with money or tlie pro’miso of it.” Now witli all these certain evidences of legislative corruption, not only in this case, but numerous others as bad and worse,'in matters pertaining to leg islation, not a word of disapprobation is uttered by (lie Republican Conven tion ; showing in that body no love of purity, no .moral uprightness, no regard for the public interests, no self-respect, and no high sense of public duly. So far as tlie Republican party is concern ed, therefore, these corrupt practices may go on and the public interests may still lie continued in hands to barter them away for miserable private gain. Such is (he gross neglect of duty and deplorable demoralization of tlie pres ent great party that rules this nation. How long will tlie people remainjilind to tlie demerits of tliis party, which is everywhere trifling with their dearest interests Tins Taxation of tuts People.— Not the least ol the beauties of the mil itary despotism and negro enfranchis ing bill which has been imposed upon the South, is its expense to the j-ieople of the North, (tenoral Sickles in a let ter to Senator AVilsou, of Massachusetts, says: “ Jf// Dftr Sir —ll. is prolmldc, in vl«*\v of exist ing cireumsttim.’o.s, Hint Congress will convene In July. U 1h proper, therefore, I should inform you, that the appropriation of $•'500,000 lo execute the reconstruction mu Is nltoiiether inadecumte. I am .inJurmed that my e.sllniTUes for April and May are less than those of other district com manders. Indeed, l lie whole sum was more than absorbed by the estimates lor .May. For the Cam!ilias at. least ?‘*IH),000 will be required.” A half a million is thus to be thrown away on the two Carolinas alone, ami from this wo can form an estimate of tin; general expense attending the en forcement of this odious and oppressive enactment. It will amount in the ag gregate to a number of millions of dol lars, the major part of-which comes out of the hard earnings of Northern tax payers: While our Western frontier settlements are exposed to incursions from the Indians, who are committing the most terrible atrocities because a suitable force is not employed to re strain them, the government is keep ing up, at a great expense, its military .establishment in the Southern States, where it is used not to protect but to tyrannize over the people. Splendid works of internal improvements and measures of the greatest public benefit ‘could be carried out for less money than is required to.support this miserable military tlespotism that has been estab lished in the .South. N<vr Satisfiijd With J'uotkction.— There is a good deal of human nature in the protectionists; they like butter so well that they must spread their bread on both sides. Thus the Chicago Tribune says: . , “The lion. Oakes Ames, of Massachu setts, Is a higlendnded man. He makes shovels Inr tm. American ami Aimtilun markets. He finds the unlit' on steel pinching him, and lie, ton, wantsaboun ty to enable him to furnish cheap shovels to tiic Austrians. Mr. Ames is “ protect ed” in tiro American market by a duty of forty-five pur cent on his shovels. The prnol Unit lie does not need such protec tion is found in the fact that lie exports shovels to foreign countries in competi tion with J'higlish manufacturers. .Nev ertheless, his’uxport trade is declining, and lie ts threatened witli extinction by reason of the high farin' on steel He proposes, therefore, to get a law passed to compel those who buy his shove sin this country at forty-live per cent, more than they are worth, to pay the sum of forty live per cent. additional, so that ho may furnish shovels to tile Austrians at forty tlve per cent, less than they cost the American fnrniGr. The professional name for tins bounty is “drawback.” 'The word bounty does not Bound well. If the render will hear in mind Unit a drawback means a sum of money taken out of the treasury, which lias to bo made good by taxes from some other source, it will aid in forming correct conclusions as to flow far drawbacks should be allowed.” This, remarks the New York l J oul is simply a contrivance to make American farmers and working men buy the shovels they need at about twice the price they might buy them for without such iniqui tous interference, and at nearly double what the name shovels arc sold for to Ibr eiguels. That is to say, It Is made a pe nal offense to be an American citizen. The negro Radicals of Richmond de cided, on the util inst, to run a colored candidate for mayor and a council tick et, composed of two whites and three negroes. Such will bo the course of tire darkies throughout the Southern States shortly. The ‘‘colored brethren” will soon find that playing' “ second fiddle” ' to a handful of “ moan whites,” such ns Jack Hamilton, Hunhicntt and Under wood is entirely too small a business for the “ coming man.” W Helper, the man who Wrote the “ Impending Crisis” a short time before the war, has just published another hook, in which he proposes to give all the negroes notice to quit the United States by a given time. The darkies will conclude this abolitionist is an in different Helper after-all. It is reported that Santa Anna was lot slmt but is in prison at Campenchy. Sends Romero does not credit the reported execution of Santa Anna. QUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Wushltogton clly-ln July, nml u Rump'Congress In M'.viiin, with the thermometer In tho nineties, mui a gallery full of perspiring freedmen! Phew! There's u picture for you! Washington is bad enough, a Rump Congress Is bad enough, but ninety degrees of thermometer in the same room with twlco as many .Sambos and Dinahs Is n Jit tie bit more than ordinary, uusanc tifled human nature can stand. -You may rest as sured. that our Radical friends (don’t sot It up Rndicaljfead.t) during tho next few weeks will get a stronger dose of darkey than they ever had be fore. lloth Houses of Congress assembled at noon on the third; and the very first thing the lower House did was to perpetrate an-outrage upon the peo ple of Kentucky, which if it Is suffered to go un rebuked by the people of this country will prove that wc aro a nation of poltroons* anil cowards. They denied admission to tho whole Kentucky delegation, because Bob Schcnck df Ohio and Lp gan of Illinois thought they were not quite “loy al'’ enough for sealskin that Immaculate body. Those gentlemen had been elected hyajolnt ma jority of 50,000—thfelr constituencies were loyal and had supported tho Union cause with enthusi asm during tho war. Yet they had seen fit, at the recent election, to send asolid Conservative dele gation to Congress, and this in itself was enough to exclude them from any Rump Congress. Mr. Brooks,.of Now. York, chqjtacterlzcd the proceed ing ns revolutionary, and said the Democratic party of the country would stand united at the balJAt-hox, In opposition to'such violations of the Constitution find the rights of tho people to rep resentation In Congress. It is stnely no less an act of tyrannylhaii that which tho revolutionary fathers assigned as a reason for thrdwlngofT their allegiance to Groat Britain. Representation Is one of our most sacred rights, and these .revolu tionary proceedings should excite the deepest concern among tho people. “ Can such things bo and Romo bo free?” Old Tlmd Slovens, the “ Lucifer of Lancaster,” the great mogul of radicalism, la In his scat, not withstanding his continued prating about hts ill-health. He is the very personification of hate and deformity. Could mankind bo at pres ent assembled in some convenient Jehosaphat, I doubt If a homelier sinner than Tlmd Stevens could bo found amongst them, or one In whoso countenance and figure God has so plainly stamped monster. From the top of his ugly, tawdry wig to.tho soles of his misshapen and horrid feet thereJs not a human spot In him.— He looks iho very Incarnation of malice—a male harplc, whoso words are scorpions, and whose breath Is poison. Those acquainted with the physiognomy and history of Mr. Thaddous Ste vens will recognize tIUs as a highly colored, hut not overdrawn portrait of tliojunn who, more than any other, Is dragging the United Slates to perdition. Ills’ theories of conllscation and di vision of Iho Southern farms and plantations amongst the negroes lately made free, could only emanate from a brain brimful of hofe and mal ice. Nothing good can come from measures pro posed and fathered by this bad old man, whoso near approach to the grave seems only to have added to the accumulated vindictiveness which ho has ever fostered toward tho people of the South, is it wrong to pray a merciful Provi dence to remove peacefully and without pain from our midst, the Hon. Thaddous Stevens, and .transfer him to a happier and more blessed Country, whose citizens may not be cursed with his legislation, nor insulted by his sneers? • The next wise and slalesraanyico thing the House did was lo endorse Sheridan, Pope and Sickles for their insubordination and their con temptuous treatment of the President. Tho ob ject of these resolutions is simply to Insult An drew Johnson; their oiled Is to subvert military discipline. It encourages these satraps to put upon the reconstruction law any Interpretation (hey incase, assuring them in advance of the support of Congress against tho President. Of course.everybody knows that the reassembling of Congress means nothing less than further measures of oppression towards the South. They declare that the reconstruction act Is so plain that a fool might understand it, and yet they find it necessary to pass a new act explanatory of the old one. If tho law was so plain, and sa trap Sheridan was right, why do they not Im peach the President and the Attorney General for obstructing Its'execution? If tho law itself was defective, and did not provide what they In tended it should provide, why do they blame Andrew Johnson for their own short-sighted ness? In either event they seem determined to write themselves down a set of asses. The next thing In order was to wive old Thud's Reconstruction Committee of last session, and to refer (lie legislation of last session to it for doe* toring. Tho Committee met on Saturday, and the Chroniclf gives tho following bill us tho result of their deliberations. Section one declares that the true Intent and meaning of the Reconstruction act last spring is that tlie governments which existed In the Rebel Suites of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carol!- na. Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Arkansas, when the act was passed, were illegal and void, and were to be sub ordinate in ail cases to the military commanders of llio respective districts and to authority of Congress only. Section two provides that said act, to which this is .supplementary, shall bo construed to au thorize the ofllcer in command of any’military district under said act, to remove or suspend from ollice any municipal or State officer, or to restrict their authority, and to appoint otheta, If deemed proper to do so, and to authorize said officers to sot aside any act or proceeding of any Hitch Slate or municipal government. •Section throe provides that the .so-called .State governments of tile Kohcl States bo allowed to contlmu; only as (subordinate to said act, and subject to the control of the dtneors assigned to the military districts and to Congress; and all acts already done by said ofllcers in carrying out this act shall ho valid. Boards of registration al ready appointed are recognized and they shall have authority to place such names upon the registry as they deem to ho entitled to roglstra t lon by the act aforesaid ; that the taking of tlie Vrou/.i'lUi.il oath ol.all Hot. DO UUIldUMta hut an printa /tide evidence only, and any one whom they do not believe to beentltlei to vote .shall lie stricken oil* It allows them to take parol evi dence of disloyalty where they have no record. Hcct ton four provides that no civil court of the United States, or of any State, shall have any Ju risdiction of any act or process, of any district commander, or of any of ids otlicors engaged In carrying out this act; and no suit shall he com menced or maintained against any oilicor for carrying out this act. Section live prohibits the removal or nay ni s . trlct cominanilcr now on duty, without llic con sent of the Senate, unless ho ho first convicted l,y a court-martial ami cashiered or dismissed the service, or unless ho shall consent to be removed It will doubtless bo a satisfaction to the conn' try to loam that Congress will remain In session hut a few weeks. Tho Radicals hope lo he able lo do all tho harm tho case will admit ol between this and the llrst of August. All thelruew m.-is lives of oppression seem to be " cut and dry they will enact them Into laws ami take then ~ train for their homes. They seem to fear itm cholera or the yellow fever, and It would not e surprising If so much festering corruption did breed a pestilence ofsome kind. A New System fob Registering Rot ters.—All Postmasters were instructed to put the new system of legislation of letters into operation on the first day of June—at which time it went into effect all over the Uni.ted States. A New style of can vans envelope, of a large size and of an appearance sufficiently novel to attaet the attention of distributingclerksimme diately, has been introduced with this change. The printed directions on these envelopes will give the reuderagobd idea ol the new system. It reads: “ Postmas ters, route agents, railway postofilee clerks and receiving clerks, handling this regis tered package envelope while in transit; requested to keep a record of its number,' post mark (with date), address, date of its receipt, and the description made of it by them (in blanks and books furnished for that purpose. Route agents and railway postofilee clerks will also taken receipt for it (to be carefully preserved), when it leaves their hands ; and when such re ceipts cannot beobtained at the time, they will place in the pouch-with this envelope a receipt to be signed by the postmaster of the oilice at which the poucli is first opened. This receipt the postmaster will sign, and return it (directed to the route agent or milway poslofflce clerk) by next mail. A Wyandotte (Kansas) despatch says Thomas Parks, contractor on the Kansas Pacific Railway, reports six attacks by Indians on the railway laborers, west of Fort Hnrker, within ten days. IMXI.niMAN’S EXECUTION' Is fully confirmed. ..The,details are fur nished Ih a manner and .from sources tiiat leave no doubt of their truth. The sources arc, tho report of Escobedo and private letters of Juarez. Miramon and .Mejia suffered with their chief. The .three were condemned on the Pith of June, tho sentence was confirmed at headquarters on the loth, and the Ifith was designated as tho day of execution. Three days of grace were finally grant ed, after the first hour fixed had passed, to permit faaximiliau to settle up his worldy affairs, and on the 19th the triple execution took place. The Emperor was was shot with his face to the front, the two Mexicans in the back. Maximili lian’a last words were, “Poor Carlotta.” Among his papers was found a will des ignating Lous La Cunza and Marqez as agents of the empire in thq event of his death. Tho Prussian Minister had pro tested against tho execution, but Presi dent Juarez returned answer that Maxi milian could not be pardoned consistent ly with tho great considerations of jus tice and the necessity of insuring the fu ture peace of tho country., When tho execution had taken*place the Prussian and British Ministers bdth made prepa rations for leaving the country. There is no doubt that the death of Maximilian has caused deep feeling in Europe. The London papers have already expressed pity for Maximilian and have denounc ed Juarez, and throughout Europe the sentiment of pity and the desire for re taliation seem very strong.* Below wo give, from an exchange, a brief sketch of the life and career of the unfortunate Prince: Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph, Arch duke of Austria, and brother of the reign ing Emperor Francis Joseph, was born , July (J, 1832, and consequently was nearly thirty-five years of ago at the time of his tragic death. Little known even outside of European aristocratic circles, tho peo ple of this Continent would have taken hut slight interest in tho career of this Austrian Prince, hut for the exciting events which ’during the last four years, brought Maximilian so prominently be fore the American public as Emperor of Mexico. The troubles of that country arc of too recent date, and are even continu ing at this writing, that their successive recital in this instance woukhbe entirely superfluous. As a matter of record, how ever, it should be stated here that it was under the direction of the French Com mander, acting under especial orders of Napoleon, that the Assembly.of mexican notables sent, in 18G3. a deputation of their mi tuber to oiler the Mexican crown to the Archduke Maximilian, then chief in com mand of tho Austrian navy. Their ad: dress was presented to him on the 3d of .September, 18(53, to which he replied on tho 3d of the succeeding month, accepting the crown upon condition that the people of Mexico should express their willing ness to acknowledge him as their-Empe ror by. giving him a majority of their votes, which should be cast for that pur pose. On the the 10th of April, 18(54, Prince Maximilian again received tho Mexican deputation at Miramar, and for mally accepted thecrown of Mexico. Full of hope, and determined to raise the fall en fortunes of that unhappy country, Maximilian, and-bis wife (Jarlotta, Leo pold 11., King of Belgium, soon set sail for their empire, and mow after a brief in terval the little fleet reached Vera Cruz towards the end of May. It was however, not before the 2d of June that the Emperor formally made his entry into the capital of Mexico. Tho successes and reverses of the French army, while battling with the numerous liunds of .dissidents, who never ceased to oppose the new empire, are now matters of history, and would, no doubt, have culminated in their entire overthrow, but for tho withdraw! of these French troops, just at a time when Max imilian, though with a depleted treasury was doing bis utmost to revive trade and commerce, and was applying all his en ergies to develop various resources which could not have failed in course of time to' increase the material welfare of the Mex ican people. Abandoned by France—or rather by Napoleon—Maximilian brave ly, but recklessly, endeavored with his small band of warriors to oppose the con stantly increasing Liberal army, until finally, through the treachery of a mifn named Lopez, whom he had laden with honors, tho City of Queretaro, which lie was valiantly defending, fell into the hands of Escobedo, and he himself was made a prisoner of 'war, subsequently “ tried” by court-martial, and, as the tele graph announces, found guilty, and exe cuted on the 19th of June. • His widow, Carlotta, now in Europe at last dates, had been informed of tho critical situation in which Maximilian found himself; and there can be but little doubt the sick abd at times deranged ex-Empress, when made •aware of the fate which has befallen her unfortunate husband, will be unable to withstand tho shock to her nervous sys tem, and perhaps succumb, even before tho body of the executed Emperor reach es the shores of his native land.

It declares ail tbeßoutb ern State governments overthrown : gives to the straps unlimited power in every thing ; makes the oatli of a voter of ho account unless the boards of registration see lit to believe it ; denies to all courts -Slate or federal— authority to act against any m litary ollleer; arid prohib iomi'^ re 7 ,ovnl ofany of the satraps now domineering except with the consent of the Rump. It is the most glaring piece of usurpation yet broached, and, If enac ted and attempted to be enforced, itshould be met by the President with determined people "'“ lBUstair ‘ The report that the Little Otago In dians are on the war path is not believed in Washington, ,' , ' Negro Voting and'Ncgro Olllce Holding. We admit that tho,qualifications to vole and to hold olllcodo not in all points tally and coincide. The same citizen who may. vote when he is twenty-one, cannot be a member of Congress until ho is twenty five, nor a Senator until ho is thirty, nor President or Vice President until he is thirty-five. A naturalized citizen may vote all his life, but ho cannot be Presi dent. He must have been nine 3’ears a voter before he can be,a .Senator, and se ven before he can be a Representative.— But disabilities like these have no rela tion to color. A negro, like a white man, would be excluded from the Presidency if his age is less than thirty-five. A ne gro, the same asa white man, could never bo President if born out of the United States. But every argument in favor of the negro's right to vote on the same con ditions that the white man votes, is equal ly an argument for tho negro’s right to ; hold office on the. same conditions that a white man holds office. The argument Is, that tho rights of men have no rela tion to the color of their skins, and that although men may be excluded from the elective franchise for pauperism, for par-' ticipation in rebellion, for lunacy, for felony, for alienism, for non-residence, they cannot bo rightfully excluded for no other reason than thecolorof thbirskins. All distinctions founded on color aro pro-’ olftimed by tho Republican party-to be unjust and absurd; a doctrine which they must cither abandon or accept its neces sary consequence that negroes have an equal right With white men to hold office. „ The Radicals must therefore bo consiat entand open the door for negro governors, negro mayors of cities, and negro occu pants of every grade of office State and municipal. It is their great misslonto erase the word white from the vocabulary of politics. , The eligibility of negroes to all public offices will bo a harmless inno vation in this State, their numbers being so small and tho antipathy to their race so strong that their white fellow-voters are never likely to elect or even to nominate them. Their Radical patrons wish to make them voters, not to share the offices with thpjn, but to use them as tools for giving the white Radicals a monopoly of political power. Butin the South the boot will be worn upon the other leg. There , the voting negroes, instead of being an in significant fraction of the Republican party,will fonnthegreatbulkofit. They will be a majority of ton to one in every caucus, and their delegates will be pro portionally strong in every nominating convention. They will say, and justly say, “The Ropubican party have made us voters merely to keep their leaders in office, and as their ascendency in the country depends upon our support, we will e?tact an equivalent forour votes. As the white Republicans exclude our colored brethren from office in all the Northern States, we will redress theinjustice by.taking all the offices for ourselves in the South, where wo have the power.” This is a result on which the Republican party may .not yet have reflected, but it is one which they cannot prevent. Equality in office-hold ing follows as legitimately from their principles as-equality in voting. They dare not confer the one and withhold the other, lest the negroes, indignant at the inconsistency, should turn against them and vote with the other party. The Re publicans are under adelusion if they sup pose the Southern negroes will give all the votes and tako'none of the offices. A fat office is as valuable to a-negro as to a white man, and will be coveted by him all the mor.e eagerly as a means of retriev ing the budge of inferiority put upon him by his color. That the negroes will vote themselves into office wherever they have the power is as certain by tho prluc pies of human nature as it is by the law of gravity that unsupported bodies will fall to the earth. Black governors and black legislatures in the Southern States, black Senators.and Representatives sent from those States to Congress, will be the nat ural and necessary fruit of a policy which confers the ballot upon the negroes and organizes them into a party of which they will form a large majority.— N. Y. World. THE PARIS EXPOSITION. The Text or the Emperor . Napoleon’s Address. A special dispatch to the New York Herald gives the following as the text of Napoleon’s speech attheceremony of the distribution of prizes at the Paris Expo sition on the Ist inst: Gentlemen.— After an interval of i twelve years, I come for the second time to distribute rewards to those who have most distinguished themselves in those works which enrich the nations, embel lish life and soften tire manners. The poets of antiquity sung the praises of the great games in which the various nations assembled to contend with Greece for prizes in the race and other sports.— What would they say to-day if they were present at these Olympic games of the whole world, in whidlrtlie nations of the earth contend by force of intellect alone, and seem to launch themselves forth sim ultaneously on an infinite career of pro gress towards an ideal, which has been incessantly approached without ever be ing able to be attained. From all parts of the earth have comerepresentatives of science, arts and industry, who have hastened to vie with each other—and we may say that peoples and kings have both come to do libnor to theefibrts of la and crown them by their presence with ideas of conciliation and peace. In deed, in these great assemblies, which appear to have no other object than nm- ; torial interests, a moral always diseuga- i gos itself from the competition of intelli- i gence, a sentiment of concord and civil!- : nation, and nations in thus drawing near learn to know and esteem each other.— Hatreds are extinguished, and the truth becomes more evident that the prosperity of each country contributes to the pros- 1 purity of all. The Exhibition of 1867 may justly be tcnuecLumversal/for it unites the dements ot.all the riches of the globe. Side by side with the latest improve ments in modern art appear the products of the remotest ages, sothat they repre sent at one and the same time the.genius of all ages and nations. It-is universal, for in addition to the marvels which lux ury brings for the few, it displays also those demanded by their necessities for the many. The interests of the laboring classes never aroused more lively solici tude. Their moral and material wants, education, conditions of life at a cheap rate of living, by the most productive combinations of association, nave been the objects of patient inquiries and seri ous study. Thus all improvements march forward. If science by turning matter to account liberates labor, the cultivation of the mind by subduing vices prevails over the vulgar passions aud liberates humanity. Let ps con gratulate ourselves, gentlemen, upon hav ing received among us the majority of the sovereigns and princes of Europe, and so many other distinguished visitors. Let us be proud of having shown that Prance, as she Is great, is prosperous and fr-e One must be destitute of all patriotic faith who doubts her greatness, aud must close bis eyes to the evidence who denies her prosperity... .Ho must misunderstand our institutions tolerant even to license— not to behold In them liberty. Foreigners have been able to appreciate this.— France, formerly disquieted and casting out her uneasiness beyond her frontiers is laborious, and calm Always' fertile in generous ideas, she is turning her genius to the most diverse marvels, never allow ing herself to be enervated by materia! enjoyment. Attentive miuds will have divined that, notwithstanding the devel opment of its wealth, notwithstanding the enticements towards prosperity,'the fibre of tho’natlon is.alwaye ready to vi brato as soon as a question of honor of the country arises; but this noble suscep tibility could not besubject for alarm, for repose would let those who lived a short ti me among us, carry home just opinions of the country. I feel persuaded that the sentiments of esteem and sympathy we entertain toward lorelgn nations, and our sincere desire to live at peace with them will be reciprocated. I thank the imperi al commissioners, members of the jury and the different committees for their in telligent zeal in the accomplishment of their tasks. I thank also by name the Irlnce Imperial, who,.notwithstanding his tender age, I have been happy to as sooiatowlth mo In this great undertaking,, of which he will over retain the romem berenee. I hope the Exhibition of 1807; will mark a new era of harmony and pro gress, assured that Providence blesses the enorts of all who, like-us, desire to do good. I believe in the deflnltlve triumph of the great principles .of morality and justice, which, while satisfying-all le- , gitimate desires, are alone able to consoll datethrones, elevate nations, and ennoble i humanity.

An Atrocious Murder. The peaceful community in the neigh borhood of the village of Washington, in Canoe twp. was startled on Monday last by the commission of a cool and deliber ate murder perpetrated by an old and le speetable citizen, upon the person of his own son-in-Jaw. The murderer is Nich olas Vandevinder and his victim Johnß. Bowers. It appears that some time ago Vandevinder divided his property be tween his two sonsdn-Jaw, the deceased John B. Bowers and Eli Miller, with the understanding that Bowers who had got the home farm, was to keep him during his life. Lately Vandevinder became dis satisfied with his treatment, alleging that he was persecuted and treated harshly by Bowers and bis family. This at length so preyed upon his mind that he formed a deliberate purpose to kill Bowers. * - On Monday morning last, after Bowers had left the house and gone to* a field a short distance olf, accompanied by his two little sons, for the purpose of plowing corp, Vandevinder coolly and’deliherate iy loaded his ride, a most formidable look ing. instrument of death, and followed him. Concealing himself in a fence cor ner Vandevinder waited until Bowers passed him, when taking deliberate aim shot him down, the bull entering his left' side and killing him instantly. The mur derer then went to the house and packed a few clothes in his saddle-bags and tak ing his gun with him fled in the direction of tins place, taking .the road leading to Plumville, which place lie reached in the evening, a distance of about 20 miles.— After the murder the little hoys of Bow ers, who witnessed the shooting, gave the alarm, and inimediato pursuit of the mur derer was made. Mr. Samuel Neal, a near neighbor of Bowers followed close upon the track of Vandevinder and arrived at Plumville about an'hour after him. He proourrod the assistance of Mr. T. H. Wynkoop and Capt. John Sutton, who arrested and brought Vandevinder to town and committed him to jail. Thisisaoir cumstlintial account of the affair as de tailed by Mr. Neal, and fully sustained by the admission of the prisoner. The pilspner is a fine looking old man aged about 59 years, and has heretofore borne an irreproachable character. The deceased was apparently a quiet, civil young man, aged probably about 35 years, and leaves a wife and several children to ipourn fiis joss.’ - The murder aijpears to have been perpetrated coolly and deliber ately, and Vandevinder when arrested did not deny the killing, but admitted it and detailed all the particulars. -He ap pears to have been so exasperated.at Bow ers conduct that his passions overcame his reason entirely, and he even now does not realize fully his desperate condi tiou.—lndiana (Pa,) Democrat, July 4.
