Accounts from Japan to the 28th of April state that the toreign Ministers were cordially received by tho ‘Tycoon at Osaca. The Japanese authorities had agreed «| to open the.ports of Yeddo, Osaca and Nogota to foreign settlement and commerce on the Ist of January next. A telegram received in New Orleans, from Matamoros May 25, states that Governor Berriozibal did not believe the report that Juarez had ordered Maximilian and bis generals to be shot, ‘The same despatch makes mention of Miramon’s capture by Cortina, a short distance from Querctaro, According to the same authority the Browns- ville Ranchero of May 24 says one of Maximilian’s officers had arrived in Brownsville, He says be escaped after the capture, when Maximilian and his generals wero to be shot. This, however, is looked upon as doubtful. News from Vera Cruz to the 16th ult. states that the im- perial commander was only waiting the receipt of official information of the fall of Querétaro to surrender the city. Colonel Stepherd, the military commander at Mobile, has taken possession of the office and materials of the National Republican, a newspaper of that city, and pro- hibited its further publication until the proof sheote are submitted to him for inspection, The offensive articie which led to the seizure was one instructing negroes when, where and how (o use firearms. ‘roe official reports of the army officers appointed to investigate into the circumstances comnected with the riot at Mobile on the occasion of the recent visit of Judge Keltey to that city, have been published. They | fully substantiate the accounts of the affair that bave already appeared in the Hxraio, Advices from Havana to the 28th ult. state that the Captain General of Cuba had notified the consular agent of the Juarez government to quit the isiand within eight days, The Consul’s remonstrance against the aid lent to Maximilian in men, arms, munitions and pro- visions is supposed to have led to this act of Spanish unfriendliness. The trial of Bridget Dergan for the murder of Mra, Coriell, of New Brunswick, which has been in progress in the Middlesex County Court of New Jersey for leven days, came to a close at five o'clock yesterday afternoon. ‘Tho jury were out twenty minutes, and came into court with a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. ‘The yacht Chalionge, which sailed from this port on the 28d ult., put into Hampton Roads on Wednesday last for repairs, having run upon a buoy and sprung aleak.

Two days afterwards they were apprehended and confessed their guilt, when the indignant citizens of the neighborhood seized the fends, killed them and threw the bodies into the river, § ‘The Radicals Working Their Own Ruin. Wendell Phillips wants to put a nigget. on the Presidential ticket with General "Grant. This is the latest limit of radical movement— the most advanced position of the most ad- vanced man—and shows like a beacon the ten- dency and direction of revolutionary thought moving onward wave by wave. Mr. Phillips’ nomination of a nigger for Vice President is in our revolut.on exactly analagous to one of the most characteristic facta of the French Revolution—the crowning of an immoral woman as Goddess of Reason. The deification of the nigger—the apotheosis of that great cause of the war—is the necessary sequence of success; it is the ne- cessary party result of the terrible contest that party leaders look upon as having been purely and simply a nigger war. Phillips sees this, and is consistent. Reasoning on the bare facts, looking at the matter purely in its logical forms, he sees that the inevitable next step for the party that has gone so far is to exalt the nigger to the highest possible point of power and dignity; and seeing this, he states it boldly and broadly, not deterred by any such trashy commonplaces as a sense of what it may be judicious, decorous or even decent for his party to do. In the French Revolution all the sur- roundings of the event we have alluded to make it an exact parallel to this exaltation of the nigger. Each was the same defiance of commonplace propriety—the same natural next step of revolutionary movement. The only thing that is impossible to a revo- lution is to stop. Incessantly and inexorably to go forward, working out ils fate, is the law of ite life. Attempts to stay revolution at any point short of its ultimate end only expose those who make them to be crushed under the onward-moving wheels. Revolutions of mod- ern history have illustrated no point so dis- tinctly as this, The great one that annihilated the whole ancient sysiem of France bore at its opening the harmless appearance of a move- ment for reform; but, sweeping forward, it soon left the most advanced philosophical ex- tremists far behind, and at its close was seon to have left nothing unchanged in the nation, and to have spared no person or party that had attempted to stay its course, until it feirly tan into the counter révolution of military Doris iver for Liverpool via Quesamown, The mails despotism.

This is the history of nearly all the men of the French Revolution, its au- thors and bettors who at any time raised @ voice against its dangerous ten- dencies. They who urged ono series of executions were the victims of the next. With the Girondists went down the attempt of a great party to stay the movement ‘I'hence there was no restraint. It waa only a question for how trivial an opposition a man should die. Oamiile Desmouling, a Jacobin, was guillotined for proposing a commitiee of clemency—a com- mitiee empowered to set at liberty persons who were merely “suspected” of evil inten- tions. The great crime of the age was to at- tempt to modify the revolutionary extravagance. This is, in a party senso, the great crime now— for we are only repeating that history ; rsdical leaders are working out in easentially the same way their own destiny and ruin. He who is not willing to go to any extremity in the great direction of universal nigger worship must go down, and will go down, so far as party posi- tion is implied. General Pope is @ ruined man if he had any party views. He has just suppressed a newspaper in Mobile for mwely giving the niggers some lessons in killing, “insteucting them how, when and where to use firearms.” This interference with the amiable recreation of republican voters will send him to the political guillotine. On the other hand, the Superintendent of the Freedimen’s Bureau in Virginia is in the line of pro- motion. He has made the Bureau openly a party machine, by instructing his subordi- nates to see that every negro “is registered and votes.” He appreciates the fact that the revolution is going on, and that the point at which Wendell Phillips has now fixed the party standard is not very far in advance of the pre- sent party line. He is right. However mo- derates protest and demur, that is the next great point; and it will be but a little while before we reach it, for we go through a revolu- tionary cycle in much less time than it required in any of the famous European revolutions. Tho Impertal Prisoners of the Mexican Lib- orale. The cable news informs us that thero is the greatest excitement in Europe about the fate of Maximilian. It is very much feared that he has gone to look after the filibusters who have preceded him; but we feel quite certain that he is now a prisonor in the hands of the repub- licans. The Hggaxp long since informed the public, through their special correspondent, that orders were issued from the Mexican War Department to General Escobedo, when the siege of Querétaro commenced, that under no circumstances was Maximilian to be shot, but to be made a prisoner to be dealt with accord- ing to the disposition of the general govern- ment. The only thing that can have changed these orders ia the stupid interforence of Mr. Seward ;, but we hope that the Juarez govern- ment will take into consideration that Mr. Seward is in his dotage and not entirely re- sponsible for everything that he does. There is too much good sense in the liberal party to shoot a man who can do them no more harm, and whom they have always considered a mis- erable tool in the hands of Napoleon and the Mexican retrograde party. The probability is that his life will be spared—not so much in jus- tice as in policy ; for if justice were meted out the barbarous decrees of Maximilian, which disgrace the civilization of this century, would, in a trial, tell very heavily against him ; not to mention the carrying out of these decrees, which has resulted in the wholesale massacre of thou- sands of the leading liberals of Mexico and the desolation of their country. But the liberals, in saving the life of the man who has contrib- uted largely to all this, will act wisely. That they will do this is shown by the action of Por- firio Diaz, who lately liberated ali his prisoners taken at Miahuatlan, La Carbonada and Puebla. Although among these were six hundred Euro- peans of various nationalities, they were set at liberty and will probably never be disturbed if they kecp peaceable. It is the intention of the liberals to shoot only those noted leaders of the reactionary or church party who, appa- rently without any political creed except the union of Church and State, are bent upon the de- struction of Mexico, providing they cannot rule it. Among these men are Marquez, Miramon, Castillo and others, who have, by their whole- sale robbery and bloodshed, brought down the execration of the civilized world upon their country and caused the very intervention which plunged Mexico into this long and ter- rible war—an intervention which sup>orted the leadera, men whose crimes gave them the plea for a restoration of order. It is these men whose heads are not safe, and no amount of intervention can save them; even the influ- ence of Horace Greeley would be ineffectual. We expect soon to entertain Maximilian in New York, where he will probably stop on his way to Canada. It is probable that an arrange- ment is making to give straw bail for him, and that this effected, the two men who went hand in hand for a general revolutionary movement against Southern North America will in Canada consult as to their future. Greeley, the cup bearer to the American Jupiter, will be there to do the honors of the occasion. It is then proposed that, as the careers of all three are ended, they take General Sherman’s place and make a final pilgrimage to the Holy Land, after the manner of the ancients, who, when they had discovered by defeated hopes how uncertain all things are here below, picked up the pilgrim’s staff and rosolutely turned their footsteps towards Mecca. Jeff Davia, with a map of the confederacy, and Maximilian, with a map of Mexico as a votive offering to the Old World, may travel arm in arm, and, still lean- ing on each other for support, traverse the desert sands; while Greeley, carrying a bale of straw upon which to lie, may bring up the rear, F jam. Fenianism is doad. Why should it not be buried? We advise the poor Irishmen and Irishwomen in this city who have been swin- died out of their wages by the Jeromy Diddlers who have strutted their brief hour as its leaders, to give it a rousing wake, and, joining in long funeral procession, to bury it in Jones’ Wood forever, Tho regont mretorious ead uncplisble fesiations, nonsense and chariatanism. A few honest dupes of its wily chiefs have narrowly escaped with their lives in the old country and in Canada from the snares and perils into which they had been deluded. A multitude of warm-hearted sons and daughters of Erin have been bamboozled out of money enough to secure their own independence and bring all thoir reiatives to share it in America. We must warn our fellow citizens of Irish origin against any further attempts to empty their purses in order to fill those of the Fenian lead- ers. *Hoping that our Irish friends will no longer submit to being plundered hy cheats and swindlers, we again counsel them to get up @ funeral procession gnd bury Fenianism in Jones’ Wood. ‘The Watering Places, People are beginning to write us letters asking us to aid them in their choice of a water- ing place, This is a task we would rather not undertake, They must please their own inc!’ na- tions, and they certainly have a sufficient variety to select from. If they want a fast place, letthem go to Saratoga. It is worse than ‘even Baden Baden, and we guarantee that they will lose both health and money in it. Ii tho convention goes there it will come away with- out even the ghost of a constitution. Those that like strong odors should visit Sharon. They will find them not only in the atmosphere, butin the company. There is not a spot on earth which is to be compared with it for smells. People who “are content to dwell in decencies forever” should go to Cape May, while those who like a spice of everything should patronizo Long Branch. Newport is a very healthful place, but dread- fully exclusive—so much so, in fact, that we wonder any one ever gets in there. The people that live in the cottiges are the créme de la‘créme, and the guests at the hotels are the rubbish. The Southern watering places all want reconstruction ; 60 that we cannot con- scientiously advise Northern pleasure seekers to visit them. They will be patronized this summer only by stumping Congressmen, Mas- sachusetts school “marms” and the bon ton of the new nigger aristocracy. People of a serious turn of mind and who like that style of society will, no doubt, enjoy themselves init; but we do not believe that it would be congenial to our fashionable butterflies. Every one to his taste, however, as the old lady said when she kissed her cow. So we leave our correspondents to consult their own inclinations in the matter. Napoloos and Bismarck. On an early day Napoleon and Bismarck are likely to meet. So says our special cable tele- gram of yesterday. What would we not give for a photograph of the two arch-diplomatists at that moment, when, for the first time since the celebrated Biarritz mecting of last spring, eye meets eye? Rather, what would we not give for a picture? Here, indeed, is a true subject for a great artist. In skilful hands it could not fail to prove one of the greatest historical paintings of the age. How much of life, of subdued passion, of mingled feeling, of search- ing, penetrating thought, veiled by bland and courteous manners, could be thrown on that canvas! The subject is worthy of the highest talent and effort. We commend it to all whom it may concern. Our interest in that prom'scd meeting is political, not artistic. Will they have sufficient confidence in each other to taik over some new scheme? What is that scheme likely to be? What new point of departure will the meeting together of these two men give to Earope? To these questions it would be hazardous to give direct and positive answers. This muth, how- ever, it is safe to say—that the effect on Europe of Napoleon’s meeting with the different crowned heads will be as nothing when com- pared with his meeting with King William’s Prime Minister. What the result may be we know not; but it may be looked for in the early future. We shall not attempt now to forecast probabililies. We content ourselves with calling attention to the event of the day. ‘The Indian Pest. It appears that General Sherman has de- termined to finish his career before making his pilgrimage to Mecca. The three hundred thousand Indians he supposes will afford him sufficient amusement for this year, and we doubt not for the next year also, providing they are shot by United States tactics. We are in- clined to think that General Meagher has turned up in the right track, and that he will do more solid Indian fighting, with a few hundred hardy volunteers, and produce better results, than all the regulars taken together. It is thus Indian fighting should be managed, and the volunteer system will be found as effica- cious in Indian warfare as it was during our rebellion. The idea of loading our already overburdened people with an addition of one hundred and fifty millions of dollars {o our debt, to support the War Department in a wasteful and useless expenditure that will give no tangible result, is @ very bitter pill to the taxpayers, especially so when it is perfectly evident that all along our frontiers there are to be found the finest elements for Indian fight- ing in existence; and if the Governors of States and Territories were allowed to make use of them, we could, at a very trifling ex- pense, teach the savagee « valuable and last- ing lesson. General Sherman could then be spared to follow in the track of the faithful, and we, knowing his affection for Heratp cor- respondents, might send one in his suite to chronicle his deeds near the tomb of the Prophet. John Bull Against Privateering. A number of English philanthropists from the Binmingham Board of Trade are ona pil- grimage to the United States and Canada to endeavor to obtain from the several boards of trade of the two countries an expression of opinion favorable to the abolishing of priva- teering. Well, we have no objection to their visit or its object; tyut we think it may be just as well to put of any consideration of the subject on this side of the lino until after Eng- land has settled cur Alabama and other claims growing out of the aid and comfort given by her to the Sotthern confederacy during the recent rebellion. Tho fact is, we do not want any prohibition of privateering until after the next European war, as we have several out- standing sccounts to settle with some of our friands across the Atlantic; and therefore we sink it will be just as well for our boards of trade to receive their English visitors with cour- teay and hospitality, and to postpone action on, their proposition indefiaitely, F Club. More than ordin ‘Ty interest is felt in she annual regatta of the New York Yacht Clu, whieh will take placegpn the 13th of June, and the contest will be unus'ally exciting from the number and reputation of the competing yachts. We publish elsewhere ® communica- tion addressed to the capiains oi’ the yachts by the Commodore, urging the entry of all vessels in commission belonging to the squadron, which should meet with a cordial response. There is every reason to anticipate a full meet- ing and a spirited and interesting regatta. The Vesta has just returned from Europe, and the Fleetwing will no doubt be back in time to display her admirable sailing qualities once more on our own waters. A number of first clags yachts have already been entered at the Seoretary’s office, among them the Phantom, Captain Henry G. Stebbins ; the Magic, Cap- tain G. L, Lorillard ; the Dauntless, Captain James G. Bennett, Jr.; the Widgeon, Captain Lioyd Phoenix ; the Silvie, Captain Dodge, and the sloop Annie, Captain F Burgess. To these will be added a number of others of equal reputation, and from the increasing interest folt in yachting among our citizens, we have no doubt that the regatta will be the most bril- liant and successful ever held under the auspices of the club. Tho Mobite Riot—Confirmation of the Herald Report. We give in another column the official report from General Pope of the Mobile riot, It will be remembered that a question of veracity was raised at the time as between our special re- porter and the reporter for the Associated Press. Our reporter stated the occurrences so differently from the way in which they were stated in the general press report that he was roundly abused by the rebel papers in the Southern States and the copperhead sheets at the North. General Pope’s report now sub- stantiates and fully bears out all the statements of our correspondent, and proves ours to have been the only correct account of the occur- rence given to the public. The trath of our account is clinched by the tangible fact of the removal of the Mayor and police authorities. Notice to All Nations.

San Framcmco, May 31, 1967. A Yokohama correspondent, uader date of April 28, says news bas just arrived from Osaca that the foreign Ministers were cordially received by the government of Japan.

N. C. Waemserox, May 91, 1967. Judge Kelley ts expected in this city from Richmond to-morrow, having completed his Southern tour of specch making. Of his speech in Danville, alluded to in a short despatch in the Herat of to-day, I learn sowe- thing further, He said it was not bie intention to create disorder among the people at the South. On the con- trary, be desired to encourage @ feeling of brotherly af- fection a: the all sections, If anything had been aaid by him during his Southern tour to wound the feelings of any man he declared it was spoken thoughtiessiy, As to the negroes, he urged that they are now free and equal under the law, and it ts to th interest of all classes that they be educated. On the subject of jonal legislation the Judge was very explicit, He had been asked, he eaid, whether the reconstruction laws of the last Congress were a finality; im answer he would say that that remained for the Southern States to determine.
