Let us look at the 'Cabe witb a full-accountability of what may bmatald when , we walk out of this Court. so Inueb has been:said outside of this case that it may be well Ita come back to the real facts, and understand - exactly where we stand. Circum stantial evidence- is the scare-crow set up to frighten this jury. If alicrinieswere committed openly or If crim inalsavottita be obliging enough to confess crimes, there:would be few cases of circumstantial evi dence., ' t3o long as criminals ranee to confess, you must take circumstantial evidence or you intitiVietill criminals go free. It is Emcees try and lairfuli to act upon circumstantial evidence. The Wit Of criminal cases Is made up of circumstan tial testittiony,for there is seldom direct evidence. There are about eleven or twelve cases collated together "as evidence of unjust. convictions, and they have for years formed the stock in trade of lawyers in defending criminals "to alarm weak juries." Btit, like the scarecrow in the play, we now know it is nothing but rags. The whole thing is well understood in the profession. Cir minastrential evidence, with direct evidence, must tat scrutinized, and when you do that, you can not fall to police the strong Milts in this particular case. Let us commence at the beginning, and take the actor in this bloody drama. The first thing we have is the ringing of the bell. It alarms the inmates of the house. The door of the kitchen is open, and the bell is at the kitchen, so that there is no difficulty about the transmission of sound. The bell was rung six times without a pause between each ringing, and closing with a violent ringing, and it was heard in the next house in the cellar, through walls, so violently was it Tuna., and yet in this house, with an, open kitchen door, in the silence of the night, it was 'not heard, we are asked to suppose. But they say Mr. and Mrs. Twitchell were asleep. That is a suggestion of coupeel, and not the evidence. Yon are . sworn: - to try according to the evi dence, and not by what the lawyers may say. There is at last an answer to the ringing. Mark the man!' Be comes to the door. anti it is a significant' question be asked : "Where can Mother be I" Kettight be a proper question for the servant to ask, but for him, inside the house, is one of the foot-prints of crime. The only object was to start the girl on a search to find a body apparently murdered: The girl says, "We'll see." It is important to see where mother is. It is an askertton of counsel that be went to her room to look, but it. is no part of the evidence, and will be Licked out of the case with a great deal of other Matter Introduced in the same way. But ho goes upstairs, passing the kitchen door open and a current of air passing, and a candle on the table, not being attracted by these things. He marches to the door and conies back again with out lookipg into that spin kitchen. And yet he is in search tor somebody. He sees it open and yet Makes no search. How was it possible for him, an innocent man, to face that current of air in that long entry, without going to ascertain what it meant? He goes upstairs. What the does we do not know. He is called, and answers with "what," but ho don't come down, and she has to call hm a second time and urge him to come down "fast," and then ho takes the longest way down—by the front instead of the back steles. When ho came, he asked no questions of the servant girl; does not inquire the object of the call, although they had started to find "where mother was." The girl tells him Mrs. dill is lying there, and after he is told that Mrs. Hill is there, he inquires, "My God, what is this!" Then she is carried in; but ho makes no examination of her body to ascertain where and bow eho is injured ; bet you have a call for water and for a doctor. He com menced the sopping of the head, a thing of uo value to the living or the dead, but it gave him time—something to do. He possesses our human nature, and when his mother-in-law is killed, he would naturally desire to know how and when it was done. He made no request for au exami nation and when the examination is made he dace not ask the result. Unless he possessed the guilty knowledge which the Commonwealth alleg,e he did,. would he not have inquired? He is told that lie or his wife committed that mur der, and is asked if he needed counsel, and he says "no—it is a fatality." He did not know then that there were five members of the bar who could wash him as white as driven snow ! Nowhere is there any evidence that he de,,ied the murder. To Mr. Montgomery he said, "Do Sou believe I did this ?" and that is all he said. Nay, more, the admission at the station house was a eurremier to the force of the case, "Them is a fatality about it; there is no need of counsel." And titre is a fatality about crime, and this man when confronts d with his own acts yielded to the force of his own act. Next, you have' this man's bloody clothing; the blood on the Iwo knobs of the door, the blood in his lad, and the blood on the towel and the other articles. First, be is the only man In the house; second, his conduct is inconsistent with innocence; next, his chitties are covered with blood; next, he m"de no allegation that anybody else committed the deed. That was an afterthought; but that night he made no such allegation, and he gave an un true account by eayiog that the body fell out the window, and finally that be submits to fate, le, the facto are agate st him. These circumstances demand a conviction. If the defence does not meet this, It has failed. It is no defence to show that ' there is a paella/ire that other causes could have produced these results. It is a ques tion of fairness uud reasetableness. The moat extravagant things are possible, but the jury must not fall into this mistake. The defence asks you to say that bi cause it is possible with the fingers to flirt blood over a Shirt bosom, there fore, it is possible that George B. Twitehell got the bleed on his shirt in that way.. The jury is not to take genre s, and yet that is all the defence has presented. Did a third person enter that house and commit that murder ? It is said that the object of the murder was plunder. That was not the motive. There is evi dence that Mrs. Rill carried money on her person. No one heard of the money until Mrs. Twitchell, one of these defendants, stated it to Mr. Morrell, and It can be understood why she ehould sleet such u story. It was her purpose to give a reason for a murder by a third person trot the outside, and, therefore, it is Mrs. Twit camel who started this story. The Commonwealth did make a search of these premises and had to go to the other side for permission. It was done to find anything connected with the crime, but money vita not the object of the search. There was no money in the case, but those who took pow:talon of that house with such hot haste may know oomethieg about money! The defence, with all its guesses, could not ex- Plain the fact that the body was thrown out the window, except that it was more easy to search her person in the yield than in the dining room. If she bad money it we require less time to remove it from her boisuu t than to carry the body, throw It out, then go to tae kitchen , exam i ne i t, and then take the longest any through the entry. Who were the third pereteae ee tge tt is t h e only man who speaks of it. arid a remarkable fact lu his testimony is, that he never informs the authorities, but keeping It back to the last day of thla trial, comes upon the stand to tell it. But with all his anxiety be did not see the door shut when then two men came out, and when Sarah Campbell came there flft,etn minutes afterwarde she heard the door unlocked from rho inside. Murderers leaving could not have ticked We door inside afterwards, u VV,ZI.:IITi(76,Tn the door had not been • lockedwhen Sarah Campbell came how% would it not' have attracted the attention of Mr. Twitch°ll, es pecially as be was inquiring 9Where is mother?", flow did the strangers getifir and what aid they do, and afier , thel. bad colornitted the pulpier, did they place tha candle on the table to send a stresniot fight ea they passed to the font door? The plea is abeurd that two strangers could en ter,-and carry the body to , the window, carrying the candle down and then leaving the house at 9 o'clock.at night with the bloody instrnmekt on their Person. Sheppard went,civer the ease at length, re viewing every: portion of it, referring to the medical testimony and to the fict that Dr.Levis's' microscopic examination had not been met by anything in the defence. He closed with en earnest appeal to the jury to Mug to' the facts, and to decide the case according to the evidence, and that atone. CHARGE OF JUDGE BREWSTER. At halt-past seven o'clock Judge Brewster pro ceeded to the delivery of the charge to the court, of which the following is an abstract: Gentlemen of the Jury —lt is now a fortnight since this trial commenced. During the whole of this comiderably protracted investigation I have noticed the marked attention and patience with which you have watched the progress of the CWT. I shall divide what I have to say to you into two general heads, the law and the facts. As to the first, I do not understand that there is any question raised here on either side which requites me to trouble you with definitions of the various grades of homicide. We tmderstand—but this Is entirely for yon— that all the counsel agree as to one element of this ease, and that is, that whoever perpe trated this deed was guilty of murder in the first degree. 'The absurdity of the, prejudice against circum stantial evidence may be illustrated by re fleeting . for a moment upon the Uses to which we con— stantly and properly apply it. Not only do busineas men answer letters, pay drafts, and credit others to the extent of millions daily upon the testimony of circumstances alone, but they commendably carry this faith,us the evi dence of things rennin, into the reasoning which connects them with the world beyond our own. A trilling circumstance—the fall of an apple—has proved to the satisfaction of philosophers the great laws of gravitation which control the motions of the universe. The man who denies the existence of his Maker is properly regarded by many as thereby evi dencing his want of reason. Yet what proof have we of this important and accepted truth except from circumstances? The same kind of testimony is the prop of our belief in all the great truths of revelatlou. If we turn from the world without to the groat mechanism ithin us, we see again that no rational man muses for one instant to doubt the force of cir cumstantial testimony. What evidence have we that it is a heart that beats or a bruin that throbs within us, except from the fact that taose organs exist in all simi larly constituted beings? And we accept reme dies for all the ills that flesh is heir to upon pre- steely the same faith in circumstantial evidence. the improvements of modern science flautist' us with another illustration. You are in a tele graph othee uud see the battery in motion. A message is received. The station at the other end of the line may be thousands of miles distant. Nu human eye saw the subtle: fluid pass along the wire, and yet you would hardly listen 'with path nce to the men or the argument nadertaking to reason to you that the message might have come through the air or earth without the agency at the wire, ard that all your evidence to the emi t] ary was circumstantial, and therefore unworthy of regard. In short, a skepticism like this would open wide the door for the perpetration of all secret crimes, would uproot our faith in man, and destroy even our belief in a Creator and in a future state. 'Rich are, some of the evils which would flow from the declaration of a principle that we should re jest all, cireumatential evidence. On the other baud, the advocates of circumstantial evidence have pushed their preference for this kind of tes timony to an extreme length by exalting it above the most: positive statements. - -They- have:Cited the east a of convictions secured by perjury, and have somewhat exultingly declared that "circum stance s cannot lie." This assertion has in its turn been denounced.. Mr. Beet speaks of it as a " dictum" w Wel has led to culschievous results. And. undoubtedly, circumstances may deceive us, for they may be detailed by biased witnesses, may be arranged by enemies, and may be what Mx. Bentham and others call !also facts. To these or other sources of error may be traced the mistakes committed in the eleven cases which have been so often relied upon by defendants, and which had been so frequently cited in Judge Story's time, as to be called by him, "the common-places of the law." (0. B. vs. Oilbert,-2-Simner, 19,27.) To resolutely conclude that we will not be go verned by circumstantial evidence, is as we have said, to close our courts of justice. It is susceptible ol demonstration that positive testimony has produced very many unfortunate results. Falsehood generally fabricates direct evicknee. let us, then, endeavor to ascertain the ril'es wild) should govern us in our efforts to reach the truth in a particular case. They may be briefly elated thus: First. We must of course guard against the false statements of witnceses. This applies, whether the evidence is positive or circum stantial. Second. In cases depending upon circum stances we must take care to see that they could not have been arranged by others. Having thus tested the existence of the circumstances, we must apply the following rules, in order to decide upon the ce or application. Third. We should draw therefrom no inferen ces save those which are entirely fair and natu ral, and which are reasonably and morally cer tain. Fourth. We must see to it that each fact on which we rely is independently proven, and that each is consistent with the other. Fifth. Each circumstance relied on to produce conviction must be consistent with guilt, and with guilt alone. And, lastly. we must guard ourselves most ductility against any preconceived ideas, which might lead us to reason inaccurately from facts in particular cases. You will observe at the threshold of this exam ination that you must give to the defendant at every stage of your inquiries the benefit of his character. of the presumption of innocence until guilt is clearly established, and of every reason able doubt. Yon must apply at each step, what Bishop Butler calls "the truest judgment," and keep steadily in view the rules already enumerated. You kill also observe that no comment I may. make on the evidence is in any way binding upon you. All processes of reasoning must begin with EOM admitted fact. The admitted fact in this case Is the murdered body of Mrs. Hill. I call this an "admitted fact," for the learned coun sel for the defence.have not disputed, and have expressly admitted that the lady was murdered. But, as already remarked, that we may take no thing for granted In an inquiry of such import ance, it is necessary to look at all the surround ings, to see whether they repel every presump tion of suicide, for at is well for us to accept no Concession, and to prove all things. The dead body was found In the yard. You will probably conclude that Mrs. Hill was in the dining-room above, and that her blood was first shed near the head of the' sofa. From this cir cumstance and from, the number of wounds— thirteen being found upon her head and five on her hands—from their appearance, and especially from the depth of the wound lu the temple, it wonld'Eteeim quite impossible that eke could have committed suicide lf, then, you conclude that this was not a ease of self-murder, you will come at once to the main inquiry ot the ease, Who inflicted the inju ries whereof Mrs. Bill died? The Commonwealth contends that the murder must have been committed by a Person or per son s living in the house. The defence insists that the crime was perpe trate d by a burglar. Let us marshal the facts under these separate heads. The yard gates were found fastened; the shut ters closed; the fence uninjured, and unmarked. There wore, according to Officer Warnock, no stains or spots on the fence or the aide-door lead ing out on the verandah, while the gates and shutters were all secured. Therd was no unusual disturbance-of the furniture. A lighted candle was found on the kitchen table. The gas was burning dimly in the dining room. The Commonwealth contends that none of them facts point towards a burglarious entrance of the premises, and she relies further in this be half on the presence of the four dogs in the house :—the early hour of the night; the passing by of citizens; the presence of C. J. Post at the oppo site corner from half-past eight to a quarter of nine, and other matters. The only circumstances favoring the assertion of a burglary are the facts that the back door of the kitchen and the blind door beyond were found open, awl the otatemont of the defendant's witness, Charles Altgelt, that he saw ,two men leave the, preinises by the :Mint 'door. ;In it is euggisted that linrglarsceLtered by the rear,then' you are to consider the probability of a man or men climbing the fent* and entering the house at any early , hour, while lights were burning; going up stairs, committing, te.terrible murder, currying the'body to the rear window,talalng the sash, pitching the body into the Bard, and going down stairs to the front; door without attt•acting the attention of'the,' doge, thp _imitated, of the house, or any neigh bor. As already intimated to you, the defendant re lies in this; belief ution.the testimony of Charles', AltgelL He swearsAhat on the night in question be was at the church at Eleventh and Lombard streets; that he kit about nine o'clock; that the clock struck when he turned WO Eleventh street,' coming from the church; that it might have been wo, three, or four minutes when he passed this house, and that be saw two men leave , Mrs. house by the front door. ' The Commonwealth has, on the other hand, proved by Mr. Post that ho was at the B. E. cor ner of Tenth . arid Pine streets 'from half-past eight to a quarter before nine. With the house in fell view be noticed no ono enter or leave, and beard no noise. or, the other hand Detective Warnock and _ . Messrs. Stevens and Atkinson state that the noise evn be beard. Yon must weigh these conflicts of the testi mony. When certain witnesses swear that they cannot bear the turning of a liey in a lock, this does not prove that it cannot be heard by others. But, as very much in this case may depend upon this apparently trifling circumstance, you will carefully consider all that has been said upon this eubject. If you find that the noise of unlocking the door could not have been heard by Sarah Catut.bell, then you will, of course, reject that portion of her testimony. If, on the other hand, you believe her statement that the defendant unlocked the doe?, you will have the right to place the facts that the door was locked into the scale against Al tgel t's testimony. Do yob believe Altgelf, - arld that On the night in question be saw two men leave Mrs. Hill's front door? If you do, the defendant's theory of burglary would be strengthened or established. If you do not believe him, do you find from tho circumstances of the back doors being open, or from any other fact you can recall, that the pre mises were unlawfully entered. The Commonwealth has asked you whether it is reasonable to suppose that a burglar would waste the moments, precious for the purposes of escape, by carrying the body into the back room, raising the window, and throwing It Into the yard?? It is argued that this would not only needlessly prolong his stay upon the scene of his crime, but would, by the noise necessarily created, attract the attention of some inmate of the house. It is also contended that the disposi- lion of the body not only disproves the opera tion of a burglary, but that it points to the con clusion that the murder must have been com mitted by some persou residing in the house, and anxious to conceal the crime or to give it the ap pearance of suicide. It is for the jury, then, to take a careful review of the whole case at this point. In support of the allegations of burglary, con sider the open back doors, the evidence of Alt gilt, and ocher facts you can recall. As against it, you will remember the condition of the doors, shutters and gates; the absence of marks, footprints or disturbance; the presence of dogs, persons and lights in the house, and of neighbors and others outside. You will remember that It is not contended by the Comm nwealth that the poker caused the beavy fractures described to you. It is conceded that they wore produced by the full from the second-story window to the yard. You may inquire on this point, If the poker was not the weapon, how came it that the gray hair and the fragments of wool and cotton be came attached to the iron ? Would they adhere simply because the bead of the deceased and her cap were rear the poker, or on the poker in the yard ? And, if so. would a person'inflicting the wounds with some other instrument,. take the in her from the kitchen and put it near or under the cot pee ? You are to try this case by your con mon-eenee views of the testimony. The coincidence of the reliant) and scientific t?.eperlS produced by Are defendant is entitled. to groat consideration and respect, but the mere opinions of a college of professors should not out-weigh a substantial fact, reliably established and carefully found. We have thus far considered three of the links of the Commonwealth's case: First, That this was a murder, and not suicide. Second, That it was not committed by any person unlawfully entering the house. Third, That the poker was the weapon em ployed in the perpetration of the offence. Let us proceed to take up the other allegations of the Commonwealth. Having exhibited their theory upon the points already noticed, they now ask you to find that the defendant was the guilty agent in the commission of this offence. I need hardly remind you here of the importance of this inquiry. All the other matters are of groat moment, but this outweighs them all. You mast, therefore, keep steadily in view all the presump tions in his favor, and all the rules governing a case of circumstantial evidence, to which I have already called your attention. II is contended that the blood stains establish the defendant's guilt. They may be divided into two classes--the spots upon the defendant's clothes, and the other marks of blood. Ruferring to the last first in order, the wit- Deases say that in the sitting-room there was a .urge pool on the floor, and an arc of blood spots on the wall, terminating on the door, which Dr. hhapleigh says must have been a little otam. Thty also describe tracks of blood by dripping-, from the sofa through the folding dew a to the window, a smear of blood upon the lower part of the sash, and on the outside of the building; blood had also flowed or fallen on a piece of carpet which ran along near the sofa, bud a chair near the sofa was spotted with blood. Traces of blood were also found on the door knobs. LCertain articles of clothing have been produced, end have been given in evidcpce. On behalf of the defendant it has been urged that small particles of blood could have been sprinkled on the shirt from his hands and from tee lappet ot the coat. On this point, and the absence of any brain on the poker, Dr. Paine has been examined. Doctors Pancoast, Alit n and Morton have been called by the commonwealth to rebut the evi dence of the defendant's experts as to the time required for the coagulation of blood in different circumstances. Now, gentlemen, you must consider all these ti I lOUS arguments and the evidence relied on in support of these respective theories. Weigh them carefully. Ras the Uommonwealth satisfied you that the stains on the shirt were received in the eery act of murder? HUB the defendant. by argument, evidence or suggestion, created a rea sonable doubt upon this point? On the question of motive, you will remember that it is alleged that the defendant's due bill for $6O was found in the wardrobe of the deceased; that his habits were extravagau . and his means limited. It is also said that there had been an ill leeling between the deceased and the defendant, because of the introduction of the name of Mrs. Twitcliell in the deed of the house. It is charged that this was done in fraud of Mrs. Hill. It is also said that she complained that the defeudant had robbed her, and that this was column eicated to the defendant. It is further stated that lie spoke of her insultingly. The principal witness on this branch of thecae° is Mr. Joseph Gilbert. Mr. Henderson speaks of his visit to Mrs. Hill, and. that defendant ordered him to leave the house. The tax receipt has also been produced. it is said that it bears the de li olant's ludomment to the effect that it was paid by him for Mary E. Hill. 111 answer to this it is contended that the de feedunt had possession of considerable property. 'I he defendant has further attacked the char acter of Mr. Gilbert for truth and veracity. A number of witnesses have been examined both tor and against Mr. Gilbert, and you must con sider all that has been said on this point in de termining the proper weight to be attached to his testimony. If you dud that a witness is unworthy of belief you should not convict upon his testi mony; but before you disbelieve a man you must weigh the evidence for him us well us agahist "him. In order to show that Mrs. Hill was not In jured by the insertion of Mrs. Twitehell's name in the deed, the defendant has examined a num ber of witnesses to prove that Mrs. Hill sppke of the house and furniture as belonging to Mrs. Twitchtll. Ellen Dolan, Thomas E. Carter, Mrs. Eisenhonser and 'Sarah Bouvier have testified on this point. A number of bills have also been submitted to ou. The Commonwealth contends that when the witnesses say that Mra. Hill de clared,. the house and furniture were Mrs. Twltchell's, they mean that Mrs. Hill said pito would leave or would give all to her. Some of the witnesses used these expressions on cross examination. Mr. Twitchell'e name is on the furniture bills. Mrs. Hill's name was ott the house. 1 have several times mentioned to, you that dogs were kept in the house.

Be else speaka of the omission to, exareitio thelop of the fence to lee if the dust been removed. The defence further relies upon the fact that Mrs.;tilli had an income of 186,000 a year, which; upon her death, went , to the heirs of Mr. Hill. It is also in proof for the defence that the noises made in the dining-room could: not be heard In the la dram with its door closed. ' Messrs. Dobbins, Zeiss and Eder have been examined on this point, and they say that Mr. Bender was present when the experiments were made. You also heard from Ellen Dolan and Sarah Bouvier as to Mrs. Hill's habit of sitting up late, and that defendant and his wife retired early. In addition to this, Sarah . Bouvier speaks of Mrs. Hill having moneyAp her bosom, and of her being on good terms*dffi tho defendant. Both of these allegations are denied by the Commonwealth. The defendant has also shown that the gas bills were very small; that the cess-pool was searched at the instance of 'the Commonwealth's officers, and that no weapon or money was found therein. It is further in proof that on the night of the murder the thermometer ranged from 86 to 42. Finally, the defendant has produced a number , of witnesses to establish hie good character for peace and integrity. They speak highly of him, and you must consider this along with the other evidence in the cause. Gocd character is not only decisive in favor of a defertiant,-where a-doubt exists, but it-may-be of such worth as to ; raise of itself the doubt which entitles the accused to an acquital. Its precise weight in each case is a question, like all other facts, exclusively for the jury. I have endeavored, gentlemen, to touch upon every point in the case and to present all the evidence under appropriate heads. You must supply any omissions you detect,and look search ingly through the whole case. Accept no circumstance of whoa° existence you are not well satisfied. Draw from it no conclu sion save that justified by truth and by reason. See to it that each link Is perfectly forged, and logicallyi welded to its brothers In the chain. Allow no element of the case to weigh against the defendant unless it point to guilt alone. Guard yourselves against every possible preju dice. Give the defendant the benefit of every rational doubt, and so digeharging year whole obligation to the law, to the defendant and to yourselves—you shall find that duties thus paid bring repose to the minds that study to perform them. The jury went out at twenty minutes of nine o'clock. As soon as they left, acting Chief of Police Harrison G. Clark entered the court-room with a squad of policemen and placed them in position around the dock. . _ At thirteen minutes past nine o'clock the main paseage-way was cleared, and the jury entered and answered to their names. lu response to the interrogatory of Mr. J. P. Dalton, the clerk, the foreman said they had agreed upon a verdict. They were directed to rise and look upon the plisober, and the prisoner was directed to rise and look upon the jury. Mr. Gaiton—Gentiemen of the jury, how say you, is the prisoner at the bar guilty of the fel. ony of murder whereof he stands indicted,or not guilty? The foreman—Guilty. Mr. Galton—Of what degree? The foreman—Of the first degree. . . Mr. Galton endorsed the verdict on the bill,and said: "Gentlemen of the jury, hearken to your verdict, as the Court have it recorded. You say you find the prisoner at the bar guilty in man ner and form as he stands indicted, and so you _ The prisoner stood unmoved, until the verdict was pronounced, when he clasped his hand on his heart, and raised his eyes as a person would do in supplication. Young McCully, who had been constantly with the priaoner, rushed forward and threw his arms aboet him, both falling over. McCully was in def p anguish, and gave instant vent to his feel ings by outward cries in a manner that could not be mistaken. The prisoner maintained his nerve.altbough he seemed bewildered for a moment at the verdict, be having evidently expected an acquittal. His father leaned hie head upon tile rail of the dock and wept bitterly. Judge Brewster directed the Court to be ad journed. Mr. Collis asked that the jury be polled. The intense excitement in getting the dense mass of people out of the court room made a vi ry great noise, and it was some time before eilence was restored. The court having recorded the verdict be fore the motion to poll the jury was made, it was too late to ao so. The counsel for the prisoner conversed with him, and he maintained the utmost composure, but not more than could reasonably be expected of one who would batter in his mother's aged head for the price of a bloody heritage.

Minister to MeXICO,WAB publicly received by President Juarez on the 11th. Attendant on the _ occasion, were members of the Cabinet and Con gress, and officers of the army and .administra tion. The new minister was accompanied by Gen. August. V. Katrzilate , comerianderpf Cav-:‘ airy under Gen. Sheridan; and by the hate Ilharg6; d'Affaires of the United States. Judging by the: tone of the press. which compliments both the personal and diatinguished Military character of the new envoy,bis lutroduction to the capital has created an excellent impression. fits address to the Mexicali President Was' tit follOwdi ) rri!" is PROSIDENT: I haVe the honor to ..present , tbo letter of the President of the United States which credits me as Envoy Extraordinary and ; Minister Plenipotentiary el those Stateallekr stn?, 1 Government of the United States of Mekido. This letter, which the Executive power of my nation communicates to, -.your Excellency, charges me with thueniresSiOn of the friendship which my Government entertains forthis Repub lic, and of its ardent desire to increase the har mony and goodwill which now happily exists; between both Governments; and it asks Your Excellency to give mail° faith to my mandesta• lions on the part of , the United States, princl- Daily to assure yourEicellency of their entire' wish for the prosperity of this Republic. For the same reason, while presenting this letter,.l beg to make kuown to you that,tho great mass of tbe American people, not less than their Government, highly entertain and spon taneously express the same sincere amity toward the Mexican Republic and A people. We wore the first to sympathize with the heroic and successful Straggles. which• your people made to throat otf ' the yoke of eclionial' dependence, and the first to give welcome to their ingress into the family of nations. We have dteely sympathized with the Republic in its endeavors to consolidate a liberal and constitu tional government, based on justice and the popular will, and maintained by respect to the laws, and we have been pained to see an unwill ing people, patient, ingenious, laborious, and well disposed, frustrated for a long time in their just desires to reach that end. We have rejoiced in the restoration of the supremacy of your Go vernment under the Constitution of 1857, not only because it accorded 'with the form of go vernment. which, we trust, will wholly prevail in the Western hemisphere, , but be cause we have been .Pe,reninied 'that , ' such a result was due to the free election of a friendly and neighboring people, whose right to choose their .proper government we have long acknowledged and considered as‘sacred as our own. We desire and hope that the people of this, our sister Republic, will, under the auspices of the government of your Eleelleocy, begin a career of such peace and piospi sty. liberty and - progress that the people or all climes may come as freely to Ntexteo as they do to the United Statca, there to live hap pily and securely amid a native popul.i.:ion, and that citizens by birth and by naturalization will strive to surpass one another in fidelity to the Waken 11 g. Precisely because my participa tion in these views and desires of the American people and Government was well keo an. I was cheer n to re-present them before your Excellency and the Mexican people; and permit me to say frankly that were I not assured of being useful iu proteutleg the good understanding of bobcountries. I would not have accepted this mission. Speaking thus with the csudor which pertains to my official cbaracter,and which to me personally, is proper, let me earnestly say tit tt it wilt te moat sail4actory to me to co-operate in every practicable manner, officially or indi vidually, with the government of your Excel lency in all that can have fur object the removal of any obstacle which could occur to affect the hiendly sentiments now existing between our two peoples, and aid your government to estab lish the means of interior communication, and to give essential security to life and property, not only for the development of the resources and population of your magnificent country, but for the continuation and progress of its eiv ilizadoo. I am sure that if the good intentions of the Government and people of the United States encounter an equal frankness and cor diality on the part of Mexico, and if mutual justice is rendered, in he fullest ac ceptance of the word, the good will that now exists will bo strengthened, and that an international friendship and under standing will arise to place the common affairs of our two countries beyond danger of disturb since by combination of accident, averice or am bition; and, furthermore, that the relations of to (crier communication and exterior defence will be conserved and secured, nourishing the hope that by the influence and example of the two re publics we shall realize in the New World what the great intelligence of Europe has thought an Impossibility in the Old—the establishment, without the decline of the national autonomy, of great community of people governed by them selves. To contribute in any way to such im portant results for the well-being of the two re- publics, and of the human race, will be the prin ciple shut shall guide my official and personal conduct near the government of your Excellency. —A'. Y. 7'rattne. FitOn CUBS. lake Revolutionary Movement. THE AMERICAN CONSIII. THICKATJENF.D. Some time ago a party of twelve armed men were arrested at nen Chrletobal, and among them was a Mr. Banta Rosa. They were attempting to inaugurate a revolution, and were brought by the Spanish authorities to Havana, where they are held in pricer' as rebels against the Government. There is nothing Informal in their arrest, bat one Mr. H. P. Reynaud, in New York, does not hap pen to think so, and has telegraphed to the Arnericin Consul that the Sp imsti authorities were ill-treating hie friend, Mr. Santa Ruse, and totems him that should said Mr. Santa Rosa depart this life soddenly, he (Reynaud) will bola him (the American Coosul) responsible for his friend's demise. Mr. Santa itosa has lest all rights of citizenship in the United States by embarking in a movement contrary to the ex press orders of his Government. All that Sir. 13..inta Rosa can claim, anti which he undoubtedly has the right to demand, is that he be afforded a fair trial, and that no injustice Is done him while imprisoned. Ido not 'suppose that a worse late wilt be meted out to Mr. Santa Rosa than to the rest of his comrades in arms, who thus far have not been polsouet', but have bees tried by a mili tary commission and sentenced to three years' penal servitude. SANTIAGO DE CUBA An English correspoudent, writing from San tiago de Cuba, thus describes a retreta which re cently took , place in that city, and the uproarious scents which followed: "The evening wee due, the bind of the Cuba regiment was present, and the Catalans mustered in great force, many in the volunteer uniforms, and thdr bayonets at their sides. Nine o'clock arrived, the few ladies who were presented Cleared out ono by one, and by 1 there was not one in the square. At 1 o'clock the usual gay Cuban dunce, with whit% they finitth up, was played, and the band marched round into •the street in front of the Palace, and the "Hiatus de Itiego" was . played, the bond moved off, amid few feeble MIMS, and Interylhing was quiet, when from a side street issued forth tie irrepressible volunteer cavalry, and passed in front of the vidace, yelling oat Viva Espana!' and - making a ilLsa motel uproar. At once a eceno of the greatest confusion occurred. The negroes, who had mus tered very strongly in the vicinity of the sqaare, took to their beide, yelling 'Viva.' The people In the square also shouted, and the valiant cavalry volunteers charged into the square to drive out the people. 'lnc confusion was tremendous, cavalry flourishing their sabres, infantry volun. teen fixing bayonets, negroes running, doors slamming, and everbody talking at once. For tunately, by the energetic conduct of some army ollicers t order was restored without any accidents, but thervolnuteers in general, and the cavalry in particular, are the laughing-stock of the town, since none of these Catalan heroes who so dia. tirguished themselves, charging on unarmed and peaceable citizens, have ever thought of offering their services to the Government to go out from Cuba to fight the insurgents, and in the present distance were actually the promoters of the whole riot which they rushed to put down with such alacrity. REVOLUTIONARY EXPLOITS The correspondent referred to above in speak ing of the situation and prospects around Santi ago do Ouba says: "The insurrection Is all over (what .a relief it would be to foreign vessels, if I were able to pause here, but unfortunately for them, I haven't finished the sentence yet!) all over the eastern de partment of the island? The rebels are "Mating" around our town in every direction. Their num bers have greatly increostd, but their object is not very clearly understood. Some persons tbink the_ineurgents meditate an attack upon the town as soon ae their fortes are suitably concentrated. If this be their intention. Ailey hod bettor carry it out with out delay, before the expected reinforcement from Spain arrives. Ott present they have directed '1,4" MUM II CO. all their energies in consuming the provisions at the country stores; destroying property and in conveniencing our peaceful inhabitants. Their chief exploits have been the destruction of the railway lines, the burning of two railway bridges near et. Jago,and the cutting off of the aqueduct a filch rtipplee our town with water. They have certainly done very little toward the cause of liberty and the progress of the country by these•lrMsgbitivous7 Ards. Theyt have only sue eteded in dpittifnkfilieir countrymen to great in convenience and impoverishing the needy." CITY ORDINANCES.
