Fngler, ns is well known, was a man ot limited means, and in procuring the cartridges, had probably laid out all the little money he had to spare Jn view of the con templated attack upon Mr. Dinsinoro, he naturally enough supposed that somu of Ihe loads would be discharged f'r im the pistol, and desired to replace them in or dor that in ease of the arrest the condi tion of tho weapon might not betray bis guilt.

When Congress passed the Rccon. struciion act, Andrew Johnson, in a long nnd vulgar menage, vetoed tho Bill alloying that it created a military despotism, declaring that it gave the military commandants di-cretionnry power to will and to do whatsoever they would. When Congress passed the bill over the President's voto, hu acquiesce) and announced that ho would faithfully execute it as tho law of the land. Rut since Congioss has adjourned ho has turned nullifier, nnd through his attor ney general, Mr. Stansbury, has con. strucd tho Reconstruction Aot to mean that the military commanders havo no power, 6ave to bo subject to his imperial will that they are not vested with any authority to interfere with the local civil governments, let them lie ever so vile that they cannot remove any from office nor fill vacancies, ifco., ifco , to tho end ot tho chapter, nnd in pursuance ot this opinion, hu is about to remove General Sheridan and rcstoro to oflico the refine lory rebel oflieeis whom that faithful and gallant General displaced. In view o' this manifestation ot the spirit ot nullifi cation, it is l ight that Congress should conyene at once, ond whilst they expound tho law to him, let tho Committee on impeachment make a noto ot his recent conduct. It is nonsense to speak of 'tho halcyon days of the republio under Democratic ulo. In its duration not a state was admitted but to advance tho interests of slavery. No public enterpriso exhibited, the treasury was robbed to fill politicians pockets, two or tlireo useless wars fourrht and to signalizo their demoniac spirit o revongo for loss ot power, they attempt ed to ruin tho government by arraying tho South and North against each other, thus inaugurating a civil war which has no equal in history. 1 ho people, cer tainly do not desire to bo ruled by Dem ocrats.

He had bis headquar ters in tho Convent La Cruz, which was built by the Spaniards, and with its for tifications covers neuily fifteen acres of ground. It is a place ot great strengih, and commands tho city and mail to Mexico. It is so impregnable thai any ono who gels possession, with a few Initio dred troops, can levy contribution, and cranio civil war. 'The first battallion of tho line,' Maximilian's bust infantry, was stationed in ihe Convent. E-cobedo hell the mountain of Correias, just opposite, and Ins 'Mipioiue power' battalion lay in the valley t. ieeu. Starvation in the garrison determined t ho Emperor to out his way oul on ihu night ot tho 14th, with three thousand infantry and six hundred good cavalry, reach tho moun tains, form a junction with Oliyera, who was supposed to have two or three thou sand Imperial troops, and get into Vera Cruz, where ho could stand a long siogo, have tho sea to bring supplies, and lake him away when he concluded to leave. Everj llung was ready. The enemy, unsuspicious, had determined to give up tho starving out plan, and attack the garrison in force at sunrise. Corn was scarce with tho besiegers, ond tho be sieged had nono j but had for some time been living on the flesh of starved hors es, mules and dogs. Juarez was press ing Jisooucdo to bring tho sie?'o to close Corona taunted him fiercely with want ol energy, and tho order of assault had been given. Knowing nothing of each others plans, Maximilian was to as sault the Liberals at midnight and es cape ; they to assault in tho morning. Treachery spoiled the arrangement. Mo- Jin was to defend tho city with three thousand citi.nns. while tho Emperor and his torco fought their way out. Two hours before ho was to start, fifty four pretended deserters, 1'iom the Lib eral lines, wero brought in, who said Juarez was besieged in San Luis, by Ortega; nnd Escobodo was to go at once to his assistance. Mcjia asked him to organize his citizen garrison. Max imilian postponed his plan, nnd about the same hour, Esoobcdo rode down in person, to aountcrmand tho order of as sault lie had tho city by the treason ol Col Lopez, commander of tho Convent Lopez is a Mexican, was high in the con ticlcncu ol the Emperor, a portly, hand some man, with no nppeutaiico ot Mexi can i but rut her the look of an aristo cratic Ango Saxon.

They wero allowed to retain their horses, arms and personal property, and later in tho day were marched round by tho outskirts of tho city to tho Cruz. 1 ho hussars and the remaining forces on the Corio oaino down in detachments, and most of thum surrendered lo Cor ona's American legion.

Mounted on a magnificent grey steed, a six shooter in each hand and 81,001) in his bell, ho doslied down the mountain side and tried to break through tho Liborul cavalry. Impossible as tho attempt was, it seemed for llio moment as it it would succeed. His horso stood at nothing, but jumped ditches, barricades and earthworks with equal ease Rallied nnd turned at one point, Campos tried another; ho shot dead a Liberal Major who attempted to atop him and wounded several other men. Finally ho was himself wounded and captured. The samo day hu was shot by order ot Eseobedo. There was soon a rush of dealers in market, bringing provisions to the torn-lno-stricken peoplo i n general plenty and general joy.
