NIEX ICO. interesting Letter front an American Jurist in Mexico—History of Maxi milian's Cause—The Efforts to Save The following letter from Judge Hall, of California, to'his brother in Rutland, Vt., published in the Rutland Herald, August 19, will be found highly interesting : CITY Or Maxim, July 9, 1867.—Brother Henry: I left San Luis Potosi, whence I last wrote you, on the 26th of May, with the intention of visiting General Corona on busi ness. He was stationed with his division of Inen at Guadalupe, about three miles north west of the City of Mexico. On the evening of the 28th I reached Queretaro, where the Emperor Maximilian was taken prisoner. Ake—Emperor . sent for me. At San Luis Potosi I bad become acquainted with the Princess Salm-Salm, and she had spoken favorably of me to Maximilian, so that he had previously consulted about! sending for ine. The next day I called upon him. Some time having been spent in social conversation, he said he wished to consult with me and , employ me as counsel in his defence. He had already employed one lawyer, a Mexican of Queretaro, who had drawn up a protest against the jurisdiction of the court-martial. This court was composed \ exclusively of Captains. and Lieutenant-Colonels. I read the protest of his Mexican lawyer, a Mr. Vasquez, a man alder than myself, but I was not, favorably impressed with it, and soon learned that the Emperor was dissatisfied with it. The Emperor seemed very anxious that I should assist him. I said to him that I came to the country to treat with the Liberal party, and did not wish to do anything that would injure me in that respect; but as law yers and doctors have a right to act even for enemies, professionally, I did not think it would be detrimental to me to render him a service when he was in prison, nearly desti tute 'of counsel. I accordingly went to work studying the Mexican constitution and the laws which he was charged with violating. He was ac'- cused of violating a law of President Juarez's, dated January 25, 1 862. This law punishes with'death all persons caught - with arms' in their hands fighting against the Mexican Go yernment, and all persons who invite foreign ors to Comehere for the purpose of taking up arms against the government. He was also accused of - issuing a decree dated the 3d • of October, 1865, declaring all persons caught with arms in their hands fighting against the empire punishable with death; also, in general with being a filibuster, bringing men and arms into the country to destroy the govern ment; providing for a regency in case of his death; and finally, with contunlacy in objecting to the jurisdiction' of the Court. 'The complaint was drawn up very inartis tically by young men not much versed in the science of law. A law officer, termed a Fiscal, acts as prosecuting attorney, and another termed an Assessor- acts as legal adviser and expounder to the Court. The General in command is expected to be go verned by. the opinion of the Assessor, in his approval or disapproval of the sentence. The Court was composed of one Lieutenant- Colonel, Sancher, who was President, and six other officers with the rank of Captain only. On the 13th of June the Court convened in the morning at the Yturbide Theatre—the Court blazing in full uniform, the delight of Mexican officers, eccupied the stage, and the wits crowded with' the eager spectators. After two days trial, at 11 o'clock P. M., the Court rendered a judgment of guilty, with the punishment of death. The , next day General Escobedo approved of the sentence and ordered Maximilian shot at .7 "o'clock A. N., the 16th. The President of the nation extended the time to the 19th of June. Maximilian requested three favors : first, that he might be shot in the head; 'sec ond, to be shot at the smile, time as Generals Miramon and Mejia; third, that he might be allowed to give each of the soldiers who were to shoot him an ounce of gold (i; i 6). These requests were granted. He died hard. the shooting being unskillful. lie received nine balls before he expired. • To return to my intercourse with the Em peror. After examining.the constitution and laws I became satisfied that Maximilian could not be convicted according to law. I pointed out to him what I considered the reasons for holding the laws made by a President alone unconstitutional. He brightenectnp consid erably, sent at once to his Mexican lawyer Vasquez, and showed him . ' the constitution and my views of it. Vasquer."said that really I was right, but as those questions had been discussed here, and notwithstanding Juarez continued making laws, he did not know what government would say now. He had never called the Emperor's attention to these points, but Said that' Tejada, formerly a member of Congress, now Minister of Foreign 'Affairs, had held the same views of the constitutionality of the laws that 1 did. Maximilian took his own copy of the constitution and underscored . the passages to which I had called his attention. I soon drew up a protest or brief in the case. This I was obliged to do hurriedly and without books, as there:was no time to be lost, and it must - be translated into Spanish. The Em perm read my paper and complimented it to me and to others. The Prussian Secretary of Legation said the Emperor derived more hope and consolation from my exposition of the law than from any other source. Baron Magnus, the Prussian Minister, the Austrian Chargé d'Affaires, Ex-Governor Reynolds, of Missouri, and others, have said flattering things to me about it, and Maximilian wished me to send copies of it to Mr. Seward and other prominent Americans. Previous to my arrival, Maximilian had sent to the city of Mexico for the diplomatic corps, and Messrs. Palacio,Ortega and Torre, eminent lawyers; but owing to the Beige of Mexico they were hindered some days from coming. Having arrived they said to-the Dnperor, "We must attack the constitu tionality of the laws." He replied, "That bas already been done." They asked by ~'~ ~~ whom?" He answered, "By an American lawyer:" They were surprised. I met them all with the Emperor in the convent; where lie was prisoner, and they proposed a consul tation together the next day. For nine consecutive days I called dhily on, the Emperor, and became very much - attached — lohim; Every—day--I-'was stopped by the guard till the officers came to let me :pass, although . . I. obtained -- a.-written - permission every . time. At first I was re quested to speak in Spanish so the soldiers could.understand what I said. But I told the officer that inasmuch as I was his counsel; I could best express the technicalities of the law; thus I was allowed to speak English generally, sometimes French. I talked a great deal with Maximilian, and should have done so much more had I supposed that he would have been ,sliht. I think he was one of the best 'men I ever knew— SQ kind-bearted, rand. conscientious. I- do •not helieve he ever intentionally wronged a man in his life." Speaking of . his defence he often said, "I never did anything against my conscience, and "my honor be fore my life.". He once said,. "I believe the only people born honest gentlemen are the Americans, English and Germans. So much treachery had been exhibited by the Mexicans towards his partythat an American was quite a godsend in the hour of danger. Prince SaLm-Salm, a prisoner with him, also highly esteemed the Americans. Maximilian was very cordial and kind to me. He gave me his photograph and signature, and asked me for mine. He often said, "If God spares my life, and you go to Europe, the castle of Mir amar shall be home." That was his castle, near Trieite, on the Adriatic. I was anxious to attend his trial as he re quested, but on the 7th of June General Es cobedo ordered all the foreigners to leave the city the next day, and I was obliged to go. I parted from the Emperor with mingled hopes and Tears for his fate, and deeply impressed withhis kind, complimentary words. The news of his death struck me with horror. It was unmitigated murder. His trial was a farce. I knew the Court had decided upon their judgment before trial, and I knew Maxi milian was honest, conscientious and an ex cellent man iii - every way. He tail me lie wished to communicate everything to me that the world might know the truth. I have gathered a good many facts in relation to• him, and may write his biography when I get home. ' He was to have written me many more facts and a copy of the treaty of Miramar. At the request of Maximilian's friends here I -have-written a letter tohis mother; the Arch duchess Sophia of Austria, and also one to the Duke of Flanders. I send you copies. Please preserve, for I may lose mine. We left Queretaro Bth June. Stage full, two ladies, seven men, only two armed. We were dozing along , halt' asleep before day light, when, whew ! a dozen armed robbers rrounded the stage and we were ordered out to be ,searched. Oh, how maddening ! I drew my revolver to tire, but one robber with his rifle at my breast, another with it sword and knife by my side, demanded my money and watch. There was no use, no hope in resistance. We wire robbed of every thing, trunks ' money, watches, clothes, ‘tic. * * * An hour afterwards the troops came one of our party went as their guide. In the afternoon they overtook the robbers on the mountain side, carousing over some brandy they had found in a box on the stage. The troops dismotinted and fired; the robbers escaped, but much of the plunder was recovered. * * * * I lost my watch , and 'opera glass. I stopped at the palace of M. Baron, the richest man in Mexico. This is about three miles south of this city or Tacubaya. 'Here I met several English gentlemen and the Con lederate_General Slaughter, a clever gentle man. That place is principally the resort of retired wealthy gentlemen. M. Baron was in this . city, .and like others could not get out . during the siege. I found the wan in charge, who gave me a bed, but no sheets or blankets, as they had given everything to the officers of the army. There were two or three re staurants where you could eat, but no hotel, no place where you could get lodging& The batteries Of. the Liberals were .stretched for miles around the beleaguered city, and al ) most every day there was firing of cannon into and from the town. Marquez, the com mander in the city, knew. of Maximilian's surrender, but his army did not know of it until after his death. The Austrian Minister sent a note to the Austrian officers, telling them of lelaxamilcan's - death, and there was a parley on the Toth, but no agreement as to the terms of surrender. That evening a friend'and I were"stauding near several Mexicans 'on the right of Chapul tepee Castle, a fort just below the Parapets, looking at the city and the batteries: There had been no tiring during the day, and it was_ supposed a surrender tad been agreed upon; tout all at once up went the Mexican flag on the fort—the signal for attack-bang went the cannon—shot and shell flew thick and fast. I said to my friend that we were too near together; the engineers would see us with their glasses and' aim their pokerish guns at us. He laughed; thought they could not reach us, as we were two miles southwest of the city, and we remained there a few min utes longer, when some heavy cannon balls came over the Liberal batteries and fell in front of us. A few minutes later and -the balls passed by us, striking in the rear, and we began dodging and retreating. The next day the city surrendered. Your brother, FRiDERI(I RAU. P. S.—l don't expect to have an Emperor for a client again. Weftlth and Poverty of the Church of England. The entire revenues of the Church of England are stated, on the authority of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, as - published in their report of 1865, to be £6,205,2-18 • (about $32,400,000), which, if divided among the 25,000 clergy of England h and Wales, would give to each about .1:211 ($1,300) a year. This aggregate includes, however, the revenues of bishops and deans, archdeacons and rich incumbents, and ,therefore gives no idea 'of the actual state of affairs. "The great body of the English clergy are shamefully underpaid. There ,is first the apprenticeship of the young curate, when he receives his £5O ($250) a year. It is impossible to say how long this may lie extended. Then his salary may be raised to £lOO or £l2O a year ($5OO to tit;00), when he has probably a wife and family to support. On that miserable pittance he may continue to live for an unlimited time, possibly for his whole life, though his labors may be honestly and ungrudgingly given to the work of his high office. Even if he does obtain, after years of work, a benefice, he is often little better, and not unfrequently is worse, off than before. Perhaps the curate of twenty. years' service succeeds to a living of 4:300 or £lOO a year ($1,500 to $2,000), but with it comes a multitude of new expense's which often make him wish himself back in his less dignified position." This shows that the English clergy are fol. lowing a very poor trade, so far as business is concerned, and it is not surprising that a very considerable proportion of them are composed of very poor capacities. "Poor pay, poor preach," was a saying of Samson Occun,. the Indian preacher, when he used to preach among the churches of Eastern Con necticut for a bushel of rye. THE DAILY EVENING 13ITLLETIN,--PITILADELPITTI. FPTI)AY, ATTGITST 9 3, 18(17. Lx-Senator Brown, off Mismissippi, on • lffeconetniction. - Hon. Albert Gallatin Brown, long a Sena tor'from the State of Mississippi, made a speech on the 3d instant, at Holly Grove, Copiah county, Miss., tO,:it mixed audience of 'Whites and 'blacks, •hia remarks being in =the-main-addressed -to-the -cOlored - people.-- He commenced with' the word "citizens," - omitting -- the - "fellow;" as- he - was - - disfran- - chised and proscribed. He said to the negroes, that "the same supreme potter. that enfran chised then disenfranchised him,and,forever debarred him the right to hold of i llee,lhough every man, woman and child in the State, white and black, should-desire to have him do so." But he asked no sympathy, and was content to be abandoned to his fate. He was indebted to the favor of the people for thirty years' political experience, and he held that • experience in trust kir the benefit of the peo ple. Therefore he was talking to them. The Congressional plan of reconstruction Was odi ous to him, but-they should yield gracefully. He: said: "I know the locomotive is on the track; the steam is up. Old Thad. Stevens is angi neer,'and he is drunk with rage. I am not going to play the little' bull, and try to butt the thing off. It might be very courageous, but it would be very indiscreet. Old Thad. wants to run his engine over us. But I'll not give him a chance to run it over me. I'd rather step aside, and see him grit and gnash his teeth at his disappointment, than stand on the. track, get run over,;and witness the chuckling at my folly. I mean by all this that 'the Radicals in Congress want you to reject the proposed plan of reconstruction. They have the will, the disposition and the power to force upon you still harsher terms. ' and as certain as that there is a Deity in Heaven they will do it. Do you ask how ? I an swer, by the very simple prOcesirof disfran chising . a yet larger portion of. the whites, and giving to vicious white men and ignorant blacks the exclusive right to vote. Do you ask can Congress do this? What is it that Congress has not done?" As to the finality of the present Proposition, he said : "I hear it said on all sides, if we accept these Willi S'CilifgreSS - w ill'fficbe - aatiafibil, - lint will impose other and harsher terms. This is but an opinion, and I dissent from it. I be- - I lieve if we close in with the terms 'now offered, and do it in good faith, no further de mands will be made of us by Congress. I do not suppose the extremely Radical mem bers, such as Stevens; Logan, Boutwell, will be satisfied, but Congress, as a body, will be. Its word is pledged, and I am satis fiedit will not be violated. But, suppose it is,who will be dishonored? You, who have • complied with the terms, as harsh as Con gress chose to 'make them, or Congress itself, which, in that case, will meanly and.perfidi onsly have oaten its own words ? I have no thought that Congress is going to' do any such thing; but if it does; the civilized world will be at no loss in fixing the black spot of dis:- honor.- Entertaining-these views you will not be surprised whn you hear me .say that I am in favor of accepting the Congressional plan'for reconstruction in good faith, and for carrying it out in all its amplitude, and to the nicest punctilio." • As to the fact that freedoin for the negro was a result of the war, Mr. Brown stated the case in this way; "You have been told, and no doubt many of you believe, that the late war was waged by the Northern people for the purpose of setting you free, and that the Southern people fought for, the sole purpose Of holding you in bondage. - thing is true. That there were individual . men in both armies . who, were actuated by these motives, is no doubt true. But these were not the controlling motives of dither Of the grand armies: The. Confederate _States.: took _up tums.in_ defence . of their equal rights, and to establish their separate independence. The United States fought to maintain the Union, the Coma . - tution and the laws. At least that - is what they said. Congress • -stoutly denied that • freedom - to -the black man was any ' part of the objeCt of the war. President Lincoln issued his proclamation offering us peace and the perpetuity of Slavery, on the simple condition that we would lay down our arms and return to our allegiance to the United States. That we were not fighting to keep you in slavery, is proved by our promut rejection of this proposition. The fact of its being submitted to us, is proof that the North did not go to war to set you free. If we were fighting to hold you in slavery, we had gained our point, and would have laid down our arms. If the North was fighting to set you free, they were ready to abandon their • object. The truth is you are indebted to yrsur own good conduct, under God's provi dence, for your freedom. It was predicted that you would take up arms against your former masters. -Instead Of *this, most of you staid at home, protected the wives and children of our soldiers in the field, and. made. bread'and meat for onrarmies. Tne Yankees, seeing this, resorted to the expedient of declaring you free, as a means of starving us out, and thus forcing us to make a peace. It was a political necessity resorted to, not so much to bdnefit the colored man as it was to punish the white man. * * * But it is said the Northern people are more your friends than the white people of the South. Let us inquire into this. Is it probable that a people who are strangers to you can be' more yotl'r friends than are the people among whom - yOu have been raised, and whose gra titude you have excited by your docility and fidelity under trying circumstances? But let us try another test. How do the Northern people treat the colored folks who live among them? You will naturally conclude they hate given them all the rights they have conferred on you, and more too. Not a bit of it. In most of the Northern States the colored men have about as many rights as you had when you were slaves; and they are much less respected by their-white neighbors, as a general thing, than you are in this coun try by your former masters. It is- very well for you to inquirb if all these things have- been given to strangers why the same things, and even greater have not been done for your race at-the North? The answer is easy. These things have been done because' it was supposed white men of the South would be punished . thereby, and not as a favor or benefit to the colored man. I am happy to say the design have:not been effected; the white men of the South has not been humiliated. They con sented.to your emancipation as one of the results of the war, and, having done so, in telligent men everywhere agree that you ought to have, without reserve, all civil and political rights necessary to the protection of your lives, your - liberty and your property. To-day you stand equal with the white people before the law.. By this I mean that you have the right to vote, to hold office, to make contracts, to buy and. sell property, to "sue and be sued, to give evidence in . COlitts, and in general terms to do whatever a white man may rightfully do for your own preservation _ and, political protection. here the equality ceases—as it ceases between White people. God never designed that men should be equal. He made some short, some large and some small, some wise and some foolish; some with white skins and some with dark. He marked his distinctions all over the human family, and what God did men cannot undo. Men make men equal before the law; that is, they can confer on them equal civil and political rights, but they cannot make them of equal stature, of equal wisdom, or of the same color. No more can they make them socially equal. So cial equality depends on agreement. The laws cannot force it. I am no man's equal, socially, .unless he : agrees to the equality. No man hag a right to demand against my consent; -and_this rule is—universal-and all-pervading among men. Your race is no ' exception to the rule. The honest, industrious and frugal . among you do not admit to social equality the dishonest, idle and wasteful •of your own color, nor do white people. Social equality is simply a matter of private agreement, and is not to be controlled by any public law. Whenever the black people desire social equality, and the white people agree to yield it, we shall have it, and not before. It takes two to make a bargain s and I risk nothing in saying that neither whites nor blacks in the South want to make this bargain now. I have but one idea to add. It , is this: there, will be social equality in the South be tween the races quite as soon as the same thing occurs at the North; for I happen to know that the Southern peo ple have a much higher appreciation of the black man's honor and character than the Northern people have. * * * The most important advice I have to give is on the subject of education. Educate yourselves, •to help educate your neighbors, but above all, educate your children—`This is the law and the prophets. You will never be fitted to use that liberty, so suddenly thrust upon you, until you and your children are educated. I tell you now that the right to vote, if used without intelligence, is like an edged tool un skillfully held, more likely to wound the user than the man against whom it is used. If I was dying, and was allowed to utter but three words to the colored people, I would say, 'Educate your chileren.' " The Mount Cents Tunnel. (From the London Times, Aug. B.] The French Imperial and the Italian Royal Commissioners had an official inspection of the works of the tunnel through the Mont Cenis on the 24th and 25th of July. Of the total length of the 12,220 metres, equal to seven English miles and a half and 235 yards, -there were-excavated-on-the-41154-Of-Decem ber last 3,900 metres on the Italian or Bar deneche side of the mountain, and 2,435 me tres on the Modane or French side; total, 0,335 metres. Between the Ist of January and the 30th of June of the present year, 774 metres were excavated, being the largest num ber by nearly 200 metres excavated in any one-halt year since the com mencement of ,the works in .1857." Of the 744 metres, 415 are on the Italian and 318 on the French side, .making the total excavated at that date 7,109 metres. Ever since the commencement the progress made on the French side has been slower than on the Italian—thus, while on the 30th of June last, the latter had only to execute 1,754 metres, or about an English mile and a tenth, to accomplish its half ; on the French side there remained to be excavated 3,357 metres, or nearly two miles and a tenth. If three metres a day could" be excavated on the French side, the perforation of the tunnel would be accomplished in three years and three weeks; but, as in all probability it will not be proceeded with more rapidly than two metres a day, it will re quire four years and 31 weeks to com plete it. The tunnel will be lined in its entire length with stone quarried in the immediate vicinity of the two entrances. At the present time the excavations, or headings, are about 1,500 metres in advance of the amount lined. Each metre excavated and lined hitherto has cost, on an average, 11,000 francs, and va rious circumstances will tend to; increase this expenditure as the works proceed further in ward. The approach on the French side, to connect the entrance at Modane with St. Michel, (the present termination-of-the rail way system of France in the direction of Mont Cenis,) will be twelve miles long, through an extremely difficult and mountain ous country. On the Italian side the amount of railway to_ be constructed from Bardeneche to connect it, in the neighborhood" of Susa, with the railway system of Italy, will be twenty-two and a half miles. The whole of these works will be of 'a very heavy and expensive charac ter. They are now about to be let, and the time to be allowed by the contract for their completion is to be four years and a half. The length of the railway, by the way of the tunnel from St. Michel to Susa, will be forty two miles, or six and a half miles shorter than that now nearly finished on the outside of the Mont Cenis Pass, and known as the "Fell Railway," from its being constructed in accordance with the patents of the gentle man of that name. The only delay to the opening of this.riilway for traffic is the non delivery of its rolling stock; but this difficulty will, it is expected, be overcome by the middle of September., As regards transit through the tunnel, in konsequence, of the- average'gradient on the French half being one in 453- . , and the steepest gradient on the line being one in 28,it will not be possible for a train to go through from the North to the South in less than from, 38 to 40 minutes. Coming from the South to the North the ascent is much more gradual, but even in this case the transit will occupy from 30 to 32 minutes as a minimum. It has yet to be seen whether passengers would not prefer the outside line instead of being shut up in a tunnel so long as we have just stated. It is for this, among other reasons,-that many persons expect the Fell Railway, which only possesses a concession for working until the tunnel line is opened for traffic, will have its privileges extendedso as to make it practi cally a permanent concession. The Pneumatic Despatch in Paris. The number of telegraphic despatches re ceived at the central station in Paris has in creased so considerably that the administra tion, finding it impossible to send them by porters' in all directions to their respective destinations, has adopta a plan which is already in use for the transmission of letters. A continuous series of iron tubes, sixty-live millimetres (two inches and a half) in di ameter, has been laid down from the Central office in the Rue de Grenelle St. Germain to the Hotel des Postes, and back again to the Central office. This continuous line toucim beside at the Cercle Imperial in the Rue Boissy-d'Anglas, then at the Grand Hotel,the Bourse, Hotel du Louvre, and the 1141,tal de la Charlie. The despatches to be sent oft' are put into a cylinder fitting loosely into the tube, but provided with a leathern disk which Closes the vertical section of the tube coin 'pletely. The means of prop'ulsion'adopted are both simple and economical. At each station them is a cistern of water and a reservoir of compressed air; the water, supplied by the town pipes, merely serves to compress the air, while the latter, rushing into the transmission tube as soon as a com munication with it is opened, drives the cylinder -before it with extraor dinary celerity. Each cylinder may con tain as many as forty despatches, and a new one is sent every ten minutes, There are many minute detail' in the - Working of this atmospheric line which' we cannot stop to describe; there is one, however, which de serves to be mentioned. Suppose one of the. cylinders to be stopped on its way by some accident, blocking up the passage; we.must know whore it is in order to set it right again. This is done by simply putting the reservoir into communication with the obstructed tube. from the diminution of pressure observed we may deduce the exact volume of .the ob structed space, of which We know the diam eter. With these data it is easy to rind the length of the tube, and consequently the point where the,obstruction exists. TELEGRAPOIC SIUDIRIARY• Mits. Ex-Govistiffon Cuirruf is convalescent.

DEMO,' A. 'Pipit: delivered an address yesterday at the Washington and Henry. Academy, in Vir ginia, Ile said:. all nbwmwe nathmal alic glance to our country, and any oath to support its Constitution, or oath of registration, was a violation of that Constitution. There is an effort to make the white lrectutz of the South subject to the domination of the black freemen. Against this we must appeal to the white masses of the North, who will not permit the sacrifice of Na ture's laws to political prejudice. The whites of New England, the Middle States, and of Europe, must not be kept out of the South by black rule. 'rids is a white man's laud, and must 'he kept open for white men. TO avoid the national dis honor of repudiation, the interest on the national bonds. must be reduced to four and a half per cent., that interest taxed, and the whole debt consolidated. Then the rich will stop hoarding the bonds." lie urged the audience to renew their allegiance to their country, and never desert the Constitution—to preserve the purity of their . race and blood, and to labor unceasingly to live in peace and plenty. A Young Hero KAM MX Cheyennes and Escapes with a Scalp. [From the Leavenworth Commercial, 15th.] Some four or five weeks ago, one of the grading parties in advance of the railroad had with them a young man of about eighteen years named George Wait. His business was to break the prairie ground with a plow fins the graders along the line. One morning, as he was out about two and a half miles from the camp, twenty-one miles heyoud Ells worth, mounted on a mule, he discovered a party of about thirty Indians dash out of the timber on the Smoky Hill, and make toward him and another man, who WAS on foot, about a quarter of a mile nearer camp than he was. He-started-to-go-towards-camp,- but the Indians discovering his intentions, by the . superior fleetness of their ponies, cut him oft Young Wait now saw them divide into two parties—one party going towards his comrade and the other towards him. He attempted to make the timber on the Smoky Hill, but the Indians were too rapid in their movements for him. He had two navy re volvers, and resolved that the'red-skins should pay for his scalp if they got it, and at a fair price, too. Soon they came near, circling around him with savage yells, and began shooting at biM. The Indians seemed to be well armed with pistols and lances, very few having bows and arrows. Wait returned the fire, and he says that several times they came so near that the lances nearly touched him. Indian after Indian fell before the unerring aim of Wait's six-shooters, and the assaulting party was.getting smaller very rapidly; 'the dead Indians being carried away by the sur vivors according to Indian custom. Soon he beard the shouts of approaching comrades, and the Indiana made finai dash to kill the brave boy, who maimed already with a bullet in his leg, still Auck to his mule. One young warrior came up until the muzzle of his pis tol nearly touched that of the boy, and both fired—the Indian falling from his horse with a mortal wound, while the hero of the fl,ght . only got a revolver ball in his side. In a few _moments_more.the_rescuing party_ came_ tip, consisting - of half a dozen negro soldiers and . sorne..railroad _ employes, when the Indianss_ suddenly retreated.. Wait still n had strength to dismount and take the pistols and, scalp= lock of the "last of the Cheyennes," which last he now bears as atrophy of his fight. CITY BULLETIN. THE GERMANS AND THE. COMING ELF:CTION.— Last evening 11. 13. Von Tronk, 'Esq., editor of the Philadelphia Freie Presse s delivered a lecture at Arbeiter Hall, North Third street, on "the German population and its position toward the parties." The speaker started. out . by elainiing that the Germans, by their European experiences and their school education (given to them by force of a compelling school-law) cannot adhere to the principles of the Democratic party, which are those of serfdom and the importation of coolies. He then referred to the trickery resorted to by the Democracy in their explanationS of the Constitution. Ho urged the Germans and Americans not to work or vote for disunion, and asserted that thosewho did It arc either very stupid or traitors. He said Germans are for universal tolerance; they have broken, in a bloody war of thirty years, the effects of which are felt to-day, the chains of religious fetters; they have pro claimed religious tolerance by Insisting on it in peace stipulations, and had won it by the valor of their arms. Every one has a right to live, as_a moral being in his own way, and it is wrong that, for the benefit of some church- goers, the bulk of our citizen's should be deprived of having their ecreation in God's open air on the fields. Germans are naturally opposed to Sunday laws, but they should not mix simple local and social questions with those of higher politics. He styled the present Sunday car and liquor laws as local and social wrongs, and warned his hearers that by voting for their abolition they would be fostering the importation of coolies in the unreconstructed South. The speaker said that the Democratic party were trying to enslave the German Republicans by raising the cry against the Sunday law, yet they had, in all the States except three, a law similar to the one in existence iia this city. These laws had been .Imi.. in - force to - driVo outvorexlitence - those - dens that deprive men of all human resemblance. He con sidered the law a failure, as it bore harder on honest citizens than it does on the. rascals who keep dens of vice and gambling. He believed that all the grogshops should be taxed out of exist ence, and asserted that no decent German tavern keeper had been injured by the law. He closed by alluding to the system of electing delegates to the various conventions, and advised his auditors to repair to the election polls and elect liberal men instead of the present political hacks. Viot..vrist; Luiron LA w.—Nicholas F Englisly a tavern-keeper at No. 116 N. Twenty second street, was before Alderman Beater yea terdaY afternoon upon complaint of Mrs.ltebecca. Owen, residing at No- 126 N. Twenty-second street; who charged him. with. selling liquor to her husband after she had forbidden him do so_ and also with violating the Sunday law by keep F his bar-room open. She testilied that on the :aith of June last elle warned English not to sell her husband any liquor; that he still persists In doing so; that he sold liquor on the evening ot • Sunday, the '3oth of June. Mrs. Owen has a black eye, which she said that her husband gave her after coming out of English's house. Owen was called to the stand, and testified that he had drank liquor at English's within a few days. The accused was held In $1,901.1 bail to answer at court. FEMALE FlcKl'o4:XF.T.—Ellzabelli Smith, well known to the police as a professional thief, had a hearing before Alderman Beltler yesterday afternoon upon the charge of cutting the pocket of Mrs. Margaret McCauley, and abstracting therefrom a pocket-hook containing a small sum of money. The theft was perpetrated. on a Lombard street car, on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. McCauley did not discover her loss natl.l she had left the car, butat the hearing yesterday Abe Identified Mrs. Smith as the woman wlio eat, next to her in the passenger car. Elizabeth was committed for a further hearing to-day. WATER. RENTS.

The French Prison for Debtors. The French journals are .giving anecdotes of the debtors' prison at (Itchy, just closed. One writer says: "If you enter into a con versation with some of the old guardians of this house of detention, you will hear them speak with respect, among other noble piisoners 01 all lands, of the great foreign lord who - spent two lonia every day for Lis dinner, which was brought to him from the Cafe de Paris. •He remained a prisoner four months; although he was in a position to pay his debts and obtain his liberty; but, it, was. his Jancy to inmate (this.was.an Englishman) had sworn, though immensely rich, dint he would never pay his ereditpr. The creditor on' his part, declared that he would keep him in Clichy as long as he could; and he kept Lim there eight years. The carriage of the English millionaire might be seen every day in the Bois de Boulogne and the Champs Elysi:es, as if the proprietor were taking his accustomed airing therein. He gave positive orders with regard to this singular proceed ing. At his death a special clause-was found in his will peremptorily forbidding ilia heirs to pay the creditor who had. made": him a prisoner for eight years. `.*The case was different with N. V---, geometrician and mechanician, who ruined Himself in endeavoring to discover perpetual . s - scion. This debtor thought only of the means of gaining—his liberty, and practiced the following ruse to accomplish his purpose. Being aware that his detaining - creditor, who bad retired into the country, took in only one• journal, which he always read from begin ning to end, he caused to be inserted in it a. . formal notice of his death in the debtors' . prison; whereby the debtor neglected to pay the necessary periodical contribution to maintenance in 'duranee vile,' and in half an , hour afterwards he was a free man."
