In tho next place the fact that Foglcr,
In his confession, mentions having ap
plied to James Montgomery, on tho eve
ning of the murder tor powder to load
the pistol, utter having already provided
himself with cartridges t the store of
Mr. Dongan, is dwelt upon as clinching
proof that tho confession cannot be Iniu.
Mr. Montgomery deliantly asks, '11 the
pistol was loaded with cartridges, what
did Foglur want with powder lo hmd it t
Tho answer to tins is easy. 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. Ti:at this was his object in asking
Jas. Montgomery for the powder is evi
dent from his statement in the ooiilcssion
that the next niornintr alter the murder
ho tried to get balls to icjil ice the two
loads that had been discharged, but was
unsuccessful.
Having said this much in regard to
Mr. Montgomery's first attack upon the

reserving what I have to say in reply to

INCONSISTENCY OF A. J.
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. It is confidently expeotod that the
Republican Convention to day nt Wil
linnisport willdeolaro for Gen'I Grant
for the Presidency. There seems to bo
no doubt that he will accept the nomi
nation from tho party, nnd, of courso,
ho will bu the next chief Executive.
This lias been a foregone conclusion in
tho minds of many and is daily being
impressed upon many more His courso

IMPERIAL SIDE OP THE STORY.
Tho Empiro of Mumimilian expired,
4 o'clock a. m. , at (juerctaro, n ciiy one
hundred miles northeast of Mexico, m,d
the capital of the princu ot I hat name
Here ihe emperor bail been besieged by
tho Liberal forces, under Escobedo, for
sixty. nine days. 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

can i but rut her the look of an aristo
cratic Ango Saxon. Ho was one of
the last men, in llin train ot Maximilian,
to have been suspected of treason, but
just after Esuobcdo had given the order
ot attack, he iceeivcd a letter from Lo
pez offering, for 8t)l) to give up the
Cruz. At 4 o'cloclcA. m., ol the l.llh
May, Escohedo's marched in at one gate,
and those ot Lopez oul nt another, as
prisoners.
Villi tho first streak of day the Em
peror awoke and was the first to find that
something was wrong. Ho hastily
awoke Prince Salin-Salin, saying, 'Come
along quick,' nnd opened his door. Here
lie met n tile ot Liberal soldiers, com
manded by Col. llincoii Galiurdo, to
whom Lopi-z poirted out his late friend
and master, saing, 'Thai's he!' nnd

Meanwhile Maximilian had boon join

Height r fortified bill commanding the
other extremity of the city by Generals
Mijia, Castillo and Avtllano, and Prince
Salm-Salin and others of his officers,
but it was quickly evident that resistance
or escape was equally impossible. Four
battalions ot infantry nnd nearly the
whole of tho Liberal cavalry surrounded
tho hill, A largo white Hag was accord
ingly sent down from tho Cerro, nnd the
Emperor, with h's principal officers, sur
rendered unconditionally to General Cor
ona. 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.

the Corio oaino down in detachments,
and most of thum surrendered lo Cor

Colonel Campos, a Mexican officer
commanding tho Emporor's escort, nlono
etidoaVored to escape. 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. Tho surprise was so
completo that not a gun wos spiked, not
an officer esoaped. Tho day after tho
betrayal Eseobedo ordered that all Im
perial officers who did not sui'tciidor
within twenty-four hours would be shot
when captured. Mendex was found tin-1
der tho floor of a house ond shot. He
asked to luce his executioners, but was
shot in the buck os a traitor. Tin first

LETTER FROM GEN, SCHENCK,
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS URGED
TO BE PRESENT.
Washington, June 2 1 .The following
circular letter is issued by Hon. Robert
C. Sehenck, Chairman of the Union Re
publican Executive Congressional Com
milieu.
Washington, D C, June 21, 'G7.
To I I'm. ;
Dkau Snt In view of tho recent de
cisicn of the Attorney General cf the
United States and tho action ot tho Ad
ministration, 1 am requested by many
RepuMicau Senators and Representa
tives to remind you of the very great
importance ot your being punctually
present in your plaeo to answer to your
name when the two hou-es shall assem.
ble at twelve o'clock on the 3d of July
next. It is thought essential to secure
quorums, if it should only bo to remain
in session long enough to pass somo
declaratory acts on the subject of recoils
struction. Very truly and respectfully
yours,
KimiaiT C. Hon unck.
Chairman Union llcpublicau Exec. Loin,
PRESIDENTIAL BION3"lK VIRGINIA,
The Richmond Whig ot llio 17th inst.
prints a long leading article on tho situa
lion, which contains tho following sig
nificant passage : 'Iu closing this arti
cle wo would remark that party move
ments now in the South derive their sig
nigjuoo and importance trom their
reference to the Presidential election
It he live, and will consent to run, Gen.
Grant will doubtless bo llio next Presi
dent of the United States, and tho prob
ability is that all extremists, will support
him.'
Tho Whig also says that it wants 'no
firebrands or makeweights in the con
vention,' and urges its readers to vole
for liberal and pal riot io Ucpublicnis
when such present themsolves. This is
an indication of n marked change of
seiilinieut in certain quarters in Virgin
ia. A iihctat. prizo fight oecureil near the
mouth of Aquiu creek, Virginia, a short time
since between two 'biuisers' named Aaron
and Collycr. The fight was presided over by
a leiulinj; Democratic pnlillcl.ui ol' 1'hilailel
phin, named lihl. MoMullin, and continued
iitiout two hours and a half. Hixty-elj;lit
rounds were l'oui;ht, r.nd at tho closu of Ihu
last one Aaron was pronounced winner. The
Democuitic politician nliovo alluded to, noti
fied the press reporters present, that if they
mentioned his name In connection with the
light in their reports, lie would 'slice your
eiiis oirwiien I catch you in Philadelphia.'
The manner ol man he is, may bo seen from
his speech to the crowd ou tho occasion.
Here it is :
'These hyer boys have como bycr to fight,
and I have comu to seo 'em. I lilo to sue it,
nnd thay're going lo Ikdit on their merits, I
am chosen relereeand I'm goint; to caution
them liolh once when they make a mistake,
and after that I'll decide iigidnsl any man who
does it again.'
Ir Is already certain that Congress will re
nBscmblo in July. Ihu President has endeav
ored to prevent this by giving out that he
would convoke the Ihmsc a month later. No
intimations or positive assurances from him
on that subject can have any weight, because
nobody puts any confidence in them. Ho
docs not want Congress should come together.
Thai is iitiout Ihe last tiling he does waul.
Hut Congress has a duly laid on it, which it
cannot escape from It it would. Fortunately
it has no disposition to evade any just
responsibility. In the pies out iiilitiule
of public sen 11 in ant. It nny weh be
iinlicipati'd t at when Congress s mil lu as
sembled, it wil do its work quickly and with
the plainness d i nan led by llio Biuutioa.-

A mohni: n or two ago, ns a couple of

Capilid Grounds, at an early hour on
their way lo their daily labor, they dis
covered a black snake lying on the board
walk. Tho men at once attempted to'
dispatch tho ugly customer, but his
snakeship escaped lo bis hiding place
under the boards. This is not a 'snake
