Pro- Visions quiet THE CITY. The Board of Councilmen met in special session yes- torday, and another scone peculiar to that bragch of our city government was the result. Mesers. Stephen and W. B. Roberts protested against so many called meet- ings for the transaction of no business of importance, which were simply ‘‘called for the purpose of annoying those (ow mombers who had some business to attend to besides laying around the hail.’ Mr. Flynn moved that tho Sergeant-at-Arms be instructed to ‘fetch’ every member to the chamber this morning, to which time, no quorum being presont, the Board adjourned. Tho weekly letter of Dr. Harris, the Registrar of Vital Statist ays that 409 deaths occurred in New York and 148 in Brooklyn during the week just passed. No diseass bas yet appeared beariug the semblance of an epidemic, except measles. The Twenty-eecond annual commencement of St Jobn’s College, Fordham, took place yesterday, There was a large and fashionable attendance. Archbishop McClusky presided, and on the platform were Generals Gitmore and MoMabon and a large nomber of Cathe tic clorgymen, General McMahon received the degree of Master of Arts, the highest honor in the power of the college to bestow. In the Supreme Court, Chambers, yestertay a motion was made for the continnance of a temporary injunction im tho case of Russell Sturgis ve the Mayor, &c., restraning the Comptroller from leasing piers of which the pinintiff ts the lessee, the term of his lease having ex- pired, and the Commissioners of the sinking fund having ordered tho plaintiif’s lease to be reserved to him. The Court dissolved the existing mjanction, it appearing that the charter provides that all piers and wharves pball be loased to the highest bidder at public auction. The Merchants’ Colon Expross Company's sait now pending has become somewhat complicated, no less than five orders having been already granted by the Su- preme Court in reference thereto. Yesterday a motion ‘was granted setting aside an order to show cause granted to defendants (the Express Company) on the previous day.

MISCELLANEOUS. ‘The execution of the unforturnate Prince Maximilian Gs confirmed, and the details are furnished this morning fina manner and from sources that leav doubt of Bheirtrath. The sources are no less than the report of Escobedo and private letters of Juarez. Miramon and ‘Mejia suffered with their chief, The three were con- Gemned on the 14th of June, the sentence was con- firmed at headquarters on the 15th, and the 16ih was with pre- hun- Holy that re, re per- + wo ne. ies, Mosignaied as tho day of execution. Three days Of grace were finally granted, after the first Dour fixed had passed, to permit Maximilien Ro settio up his worldly aairs, and on the 10th the Briple execution took place. The Emperor was abot ‘ith his face to the front, the two Mexicans in the back. Maximitian’s last words were ‘Poor Carlotta’? Among Dis papers was found a will designating Louis La Cunzs ‘Bnd Marquez as agents of the empire in the event of bis Geath, The Prussian Minister had protested against the execution, but President Juarez returned answer that ‘Maximilian could not be pardoned consistently with the Breet considerations of justice and the necessity of in- ‘Puring the fature poace of the country.

In the Surratt trial yesterday Dr, McMillan was closely cross-examined by tho prisoner's counsel, but hia evi- dence was not shaken. St, Marie, the Papal Zouave who discovered Surratt in Rome, was on tho witness stand ‘and testified that Surratt had said that ho left Washing- ton on the night of tho assassination. Judge Fisher was atill very unwell, and tho court adjourned earlier than usual. After the adjournment Mr. Bradley grossly in- sulted the Judgo and threatened to thrash him, and they were about coming to blows when Marshal Phil- ips and others interposed and separated them. The Constitutional Union of Washington City, the or- gan of the administration, gays that whether there ts « quorum present or not, the Judiciary Committee are determined to have the President impeached, evon if it ig necessary to compel the attendance of members. No doubt is entertained of the presence of a Congres- sional quorum 48 the national capital this morning, The gesaion, it is sald, will be a short one. ‘The Antietam National Cemetery Committee have determined to invite the President, Cabinet, Congress, the Governors and Legislatures of States and prominent members of the army and navy to assist at the dodica- tion. The United States Consul at Palermo reports that the cholera is raging in somo of the provinces of sicily, at which American vessels froquently touch for ballast. A young froedman in Charteston has applicd to Pecro- tary Stanton for an appointment as cadet at West Point from South Carolina, General Sickles’ order closing barrooms was enforced in Charleston yesterday. Tho corroct list of the now Ministry of the Dominion of Canada is published this morning. The Governors of the different provinces will be immediately sworn in at their respective capitals. The government appears to be in a fair way of adding to her territorial possessions by the right of discovery as well as purchase, One of the vessels which went in search of the newly discovered island in the Pacific re- turned to San Francisco on Sunday and sailed on Mon- day with an extra complement of hands. No report was made by the captain, but these movements suggest a probability of some rich discoveries having been made, ‘The City Comptroller at New Orleans has rofused to pay the municipal officers appointed by Governor Flanders, who is himself an appointee of General Sheri- dan. He takes this step in accordance with his view of Attorney General Stanbory’s opinion. A New Orleans newspaper has information that Presi- dent Jolson, Marshall 0, Roberts and Santa Anna havo formed a copartnership to oust Juarez, take possossion of Mexico and distribute all the railroad and canal fran- chises that may by that time remain in that distracted country. In the distribution of the half milljon doliars appro priated for the exponses of reconstruction General Sheri- dan's estimate was more than double that of any other commander. The Impeachment Question aad the Presi- dency. There are wheels within wheela, a curious complication, upon the impeachment question, asitappeara. For instance, it is given out that a majority of the republicans on the Judiciary Commi'tes of the House of Representatives are preparing a report with the opinion that the evidence taken is sufficient to call for the im- peachment and removal of President Johnson, and that to this end thoy will ask for an Octo- ber session of Congress. Next it appears that a minori'y of the republicans on this commit- tee, three out of the seven, will conier selves with a resolution censuring the Presi- dent. Ii further appears, from one of our special correspondents, that “O.d Thad Stevens,” if no one else will, intends to bring the House to the direcs test on a square and unqualified impeachment resolution. We may, therefore, expect at this July ses- sion an intensely interesting and momentous conflict among the republican cliques and fac- tions upon this question of impeachment or no impeachment. “Old Ben Wade,” President of the Senate, has his supporters behind him who desire to put him in the White House chair now occupied by “Andy Johnzon,” either to keep it warm for Chief Justice Chase or to us* its advantages directly in behalf of the nomi- nation of “Old Ben” Limseif by the Republican Convention of 1868. The conservative repub- licans who are in favor of General Grant, on the other hand, desire, if possible, to hold Presi- dent Johnson where he is and President Wade where ho is, a! least till afier the Republican Presidential Convention of next spring. Mr. Johnson, as the dispenser of the spoils of the administration, if he is not working for them, is not working against the Gran! men; but “Old Ben Wade” in the White House, it is feared, would measure every office holder’s and every office seeker’s corn in his own balf-bushel, or in the bushel of Chief Justice Chase. Here, then, is the split in the republican camp upon the impeachment question, and the result will most probably be the defeat of the impeach- ment faction and the success of the Grant republicans in the retention ot Andrew Jolinson in his office to the end of his term, prov.ded always that he tries no more experiments against the manifest purposes of Congress in any quib- bling construction of the laws. If the radicals are wise they will not aitempt the removal of President Johnson, which would be killing the goose that lays their golden eggs, but they will let well enough alone. ff they must impeach somebody, let them take up Attorney General Stanbery for the “high crimes” or “misdemeanors” of avowing before the Supreme Court, as the government advo- cate against the Mississippi petition of Sharkey and Walker, that politically on the questions at issue his sympathies were with the enemies of the Union, and for voluntecring his legal opinions as excuses for President Johnson in unfaithfully executing the laws of Congress; or Jet them haul up the Secretary of State for his warning on that famous Chicago pilgrimage that we must take Andrew Johnson “as Presi- dent or King,” and for parading it on his late trip to Boston, as a great virtue on the part of his Excellency, that he had magnanimonsly refrained from pushing his conflict with Con- gress to Oliver Cromwell’s settlement; or they might arraign Postmaster General Randall for the demoralizing declaration that “they who eat the President’s bread and butter must sup- port his measures,” which is making “Andy Jobnson” “every inch a king.” They might even catch old grandfather Welles under the jibboom, if they would only look into the log of the old skipper’s tacking and backing during the last two years. In any event, in this matter of impeachment, let not Congress repeat the folly of the fool in the fable who killed the goose that laid his golden eggs. ‘The Strratt Trial. The evidence in the Surratt case is develop- ing some fresh points of interest. Beverly Tucker and General Ripley are brought in closer connection with the prisoner than they will probably like, and a boast of Surratt’s is tostified to that he got $100,000 from the Con- federate Secretary, Benjamin. That is perhaps why the little Jew made up his mind to go to the English bar instead of manfully facing the music here, Colorado Jewett also figures in the narrative of Surratt’s voyage to Liverpool. His sailing on the same vessel was, of course, suggestive of discomfort to that disinterested patriot and diplomatist We expect to bave plenty more of these disclosures before the trial is over. Possibly they may disturb tho tranquillity of some of our New York politicians and journalists. ‘Tho Latost European Nows—The Horald Spe- cial Despatches. We gave yesterday some notable facta of European news in the three special telegrams to the Henarp, respectively from St. Peters- burg, London and Pesth. From St. Petersburg we had the news of the Czar’s arrival home from bis recent trip to Paris, and the splendid popular demonstration by which he was re- ceived—the congratulations of the diplomatic corps and the presentation of a member of the United States Senate. In our London despatch we gave the latest British grumble on the sub- ject of the Alabama claims, Mr. Baxter desiring to know if the government could not possibly trump up enough claims of one sort or another to offset these Amorican clrims, so that they might be allowed without costing any oagh. This, it will be remembered, was tried formerly. Some hundreds ofher Mojesty’s subjects made claims upon the English government for injury done by our government during the war, by arresiing the said subjects and otherwise inter- fering with their ease and comfort. Three- fourths of these claims were evidently “bogus,” the men who complaine1 against arrest, &c., having in some instances been convicted for various crimes against property. Others were rebel agents, carrying intelligence to and fro between Richmond and London. Yet the British government seriously forwarded these claims, and it is this document of which Mr. Baxter now inquires, Our third despatch, from Pesth, indicates that the coronation of Francis Joseph has not been accepted quietly by all the Slavic races, Croatia ia disturbed, and an Aus- trian general goes there. There is also “great popular agilation ia Slavonia,” the people ev- dently fearing lest tho head that wears St. Stephen’s crown should enjoy a few easy hours. Such isthe summary of events set forth in three paragraphs given yesterday in our threo columns of esble news, These despatches were Usrarp specials, and but for our enterprise in having correspondents on the apot at all these points, and liberally using the telegraph, our cilizens would have been without these inter- esting items of European nows. The War on the Plains. Our Indian troubles appear to drag on in the most unsatisfactory manner. Our special correspondent, under date of June 22, from Republican Forks, gives us an interesting letter, in which the principa! feature appears to be that the Uniied States regular troops are rapidly deserting. General Custer and party have not been killed, as reported, alihongh ey are obliged to pursue Indians after the regular army e¢tyle there is no doubt we shall soon be obliged to register their death from fatigue and exposure. Everything now indi- cates that the army is gathering material for iis yearly report upon operations in the Indian country. Indian campaigning, they call it. We shall have to pay an immense amount of cash for a now literary work, the principal items of whieh will be—“Licutenant Bona- parte chased Spotted Tail three hundred miles towards Walruasia, but his horse giving out no captures were made excepting a squaw and three sick men.” “A body of ‘Apaches were repulsed by Captain Wellington, near Bosque Redondo, with a loss of five killed on our side. It is thought that the Indian loss was heavy, as they left a number of bows and arrows on the field, as well as a few muskets sold to them by our Indian agents.” Thus we shall deplete the Treasury for another atercotyped campaign. By our news this morning General Sherman telegraphs to General Hancock that several of the tribes are disposed to be supported by the government while the others are whipped into submission. Sherman thinks, too, that it is necessary to make offensive instead of defensive warfare against the redskins. We agree with him entirely; but with all deference to his great miltary talent we think that his first step in the organization of his cam- paign is very taulty. We allude to the volunteers, who, from the different Territories, are to be incorporated into the regular forces and subject to the routine and government of the military commanders. We are certain that the war would be finished in sixty days if the matter were left entirely in the hands of the Governors of the different Territories. They would organize their fleet-footed and hardy frontiersmen into the best Indian figlters, and if'a scalp or two were taken with the cars on, it would be only a just reialiation upon the cutthroats who do not hesitate to laugh at a Quaker policy they cannot appreciate. If Indians are not made to feel the effect of our blows it is better not to deal them. If there is no other way to meet a prairie fire except with fire, then let us have fire, end have it quickly; but we want it in the sturdy, active and irre- sistible style in which our Territories can give it, not in the interminable and snail-like method of the regalar army, which, if Indian scalps with the gars on were two hundred thousand MAXIMILIAN. Official Confirmation of His Execution. MIRAMON AND MEJIA SHARE HIS FATE. been wounded in the breast that the Pro- fessor fired the shot which killed his antago- nist. The difficulty in the case seems to be that his son, who was the sole witness of the occurrence, is indicted with him, and con- sequently he is denied the benefit of his evidence. This, however, will not affect the result, as the indictment cannot possibly be maintained against young Hodge. We see by a letter from Governor Meagher that the doubts expressed as to the possibility of the Pro- fessor having 9 fair trial in the Territory, owing to the feeling that has been excited against him, are without reasonable grounds. The case will be tried fairly and squarely on its merits, and these being in Protessor Hodge’s favor we cannot se that his friends at the North have any real cause for anxiety on his account. The Prince Shot with His Face to the Front, the Mexicans in the Back. HIS LAST WORDS, “POOR CARLOTTA.” Strong Protest of the Prussian Minister Against the Exeeution of the Imperial Captive. The Paris Exposition—Distribution of Prizes and the Emperor's Speech. We live in an age of wonders. Magnitude or magnificence, or both combined, if that ia considered more expressive, may be regarded a3 ils dominant characteristic. Everything is dono on a large and showy scale. The world acoms tired of small things. To command attention every undertaking mustbe on a seale of grandeur unprecedented in the history of our race, Of this truth Rome at the present moment is presenting us one illustration, Paria another, and New York another. Which of the three illustrations ia greatest or most ap- propriate it may be difficult to say; but each of them is marvellous toa degree which is entirely without parallel. The Convocation at Rome has surpassed all previous convoca- tions. Tho Paris Exhibition, in certain im- portant particulars, hos surpassed all previous exhibitions. Tho enterprise of the New York Isranp—it isin no spirit of vanity we say it—surpasses any newspaper enterprise which the world bas yot seen. The special telegram from Paris, which we printed in yesterday’s Huratp, marks the com- mencement of a new epoch in the history of journalism, Nothing of the kind has ever happened before. How wonderful matters are at the very outset we know, but what the future is to bo we can but dimly conceive . Monday, the Ist of July, 1867, will long be remembered as a “ white day” in the annals of France and of the Bonaparte family. The ceremony connected with the distribution of prizes was a complete success. Never did the empire more completely justify its existence; never did Paris show to greater advantare; never was Napoleon more worthy of himself. Leaving other things for the present aside, the speech with which the Emperor opened the proceedings was a marvel of practical wisdom and offarreaching thought. I: is not too much to say that he is one of the very few men living, and the only prince of his day, from whose lips such weighty words could have fallen. Napoleon, whatever the circumstances, has never been in the habit of wasting his words. This last occasion, however, was peculiar, He felt that ho was standing on the confines of a great past and on te confines of a still greater faturs. ‘He knev, too, that the eyes of all men were upon him--that the world was his awdience. It is much to be ablo to say that he was equal to ihe occasion—that the speech was worthy of the audience and worthy of the orator; but it is only the truth, Napoleon may not have stepped to power by the most legitimate means; errors may at times have marked his reign; but it is impossible to refase to admit that he is one of the ableat mon and perhaps the most en- lightened ruler of his day. He cannot be call- ed the Julius, but ho may without any impro- priety be spoken of as the Augas‘us Cesar of his family. RESOICINGS “AMONG THE MEXICANS, SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Maramonoa, June 28, 1367. Via Naw Ortvans, July 2—9:30 P.M. Official information of the death of Maximilian, Mira- mon and Mejia was received here yesterday. Tho report of Escobedo says they were condemned on the night of the 14th, the sentence confirmed at headquar- ters on the 16th and the 16tn designated as the day of execution. Their execution was, howover, suspended by order of Juarez until the 19th, on which day, at seven o'clock A. M., tho three were shot. On the morn- ing of the 16th the Prussian Miniater made another attempt to save them, but failcd. Maximilian was shot faced to tho front. words were ‘‘toor Carlotta t’* reduced from theirs rank and shot in the back. General Berriozabal immodiately communicated the news to Goneral Reynolds, in Brownsville, great rejoicing in Mexico over the event. Official information of the surrender of the capital to Diaz bas also reached here, Marquez was deposed, and tho city was surrendered by Ramon Tabera. It is thought bere that Juarez bas started for the cap- ital, Mexicans are jubilant, and foreigners aro horror stricken, Letters from Juarcz received at headquarters here, ana which your commissioner bas had the privilege of per- using, state that Maximilian, Mejia and Miramon were gentenced to be shot on the morning of June 16.

Both had returned to Querétaro to take formal leave of Mexico, when the Prince was oxe- cuted. ‘Among Maximilian's papers found in Querétaro was a will, by which, in case of his death, he appoints Theo- dosia Lanes, José Marta Lacunsea and Marquez regents of the empire. Portions of Maximilian’s service plate are on exhibition as trophies at Matamoros, ‘The following is tho telegram of Escobedo to the Minister of War announcing the execution of Maxi- milian:— The Prussian and British ministers Sav Lois Porost, June 19, 1967.

The evont is now being celebrated with great rejoting, mani- tested by ringing of bells, music and other lemoastra- tions. The Baron Magnas, Prussian Minister, wrived at Querétaro the day before the execution, atl immedi. ately transmitted by telegraph a formal protest to Juarez, which was received at half-past ninto’clock on Fair Dealing. The Evening Post copies from the Heratp the special report of Napoleon’s speech at the Paris Exhibition, telegraphed to us by the eabie, and gives us credit for it, This is an example of honesty which we would recom- mend (o the atention of our contemporarics generally.

It must be con- ceded, from all past experience, that it is im- possible to close our Indian war in the regular army style, unless at enormous expense. Let it be left to the Governors of Territories, and let General Sherman issue an order, if the jealousies of the regular army will permit it, giving every volunteer battalion a roving com- mission to fight in Indian style. The Indians will then be promptly subjected to obedience. of Professor Hodge. The trial of Professor Hodge, indicted in one of the Montana courts on a charge of murder, is exciting » good deal of anxiety among his friends at the North, A distin- guished savant, and a man whose amiable character has endeared him to all who have come in contact with bim, it is natural that they should interest themselves warmly in his behalf. We do not think, however, that they need feel any uneasinoss on the subject.
