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.

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

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."
