Wo have at length an official confirmation of the death of Maximilian, who was undoubtedly shot on the 19th of June. With Maximilian were shot Miramon and Mejia, the former a soldier of fortune, who within the past year, offered his services to tho republic and had them refused, and a lead2r whose desperato acts of wholesale plunder and throat eutting did much to give argument to Europe for tn- tervention in Moxican affairs, Thomas Mejia was a Quer¢taro Indian, firm and consistent in his support of the retrogade element of his country, A bold and desperate enomy of liberal ideas, he might have thrown himself into the Querétaro sierra, as he has before done, and waged a long and exhaustive warfare against the republic, after the style of the Indian Lozada in Western Jalisco. The Mexi- cans, in ridding themselves of Miramon and Mejia, have thus disposed of two of the worst revolutionary firebands in their oountry. There is now, salient among the few remaining, the “tiger” Marquez; and prebably General Diaz, who capturod the city of Mexico on tho 20th of last month, will dispose of bim in ac- cordance with his former crimes and present treason to his country. In calmly considering the fate of Maximilian wo desire to do justice to all sides of the quos- tion. Personally, the Austrian Archduké tad many and noble qualities to recommend him. He was a hightoned and educated gentleman, with all those accomplishments due to a Europe. We are spoaking of him asa man and as we would speak of any man of any nationality; and in thus treating of him we shall do more honor to European royalty than have but light weight in our young republic. With all the brain polish thathe may have possessed he still saw the Moxican question through moharchical eyvs, and failing, in com- mon with other European leaders, to take into consideration the progress of republi- can ideas upon this continent, even in the poorest nationality (9 be found here, ho made the great mistake of Picking up @ doomed and virtually lost cause in Mexico, and endeavored to reinstate, in the face of the progress of the nineteenth century, the obsolete ideas of tho sixteenth, which, more than to any other civilized Power, ica—he might have crystallized about him all the progressive elements of the country, As it was, by the most outrageous election, forced by Marshal Bazaine, at which nine-tenths of the votes were obtained at the point of the bayonot, he virtually took up the cause of ancient against modern ideas, and naturally failed. That the attack against the republicanism of Mexico was also an onslaught against tho pregrossive idoas of all the republics of the we were defending ourselves against the march of royalty which boldly threatened us from the southwest. docree of October 3, 1865. This decree held within itself such atrocities that even the acts of Haynau, in Hungary, by order of Maxt- milian’s brother, Francis Joseph, are merciful, in comparison to what resulted in Mexico from fled the soil of Mexico. This was a gross mis- an invitation to dinner, extended to him by the United States officers while ho was at El Paso de! Norte. In the second pfragraph he stated that “the honorable men had assembled under his banner,” the empire. We ask what is the history of the “honorable” leaders, such as Marquez, Miramon and the one who betrayed the Archduke at Quer¢taro? “Clemenoy will cease now,” said the preamble, “for it will only Profit the mob, who burn villages, rob and murder peaceful citizens,” &c. Yet, after this, sixteen populous villages wero laid in ruins by the imperialists in Coahuila, and their inhabi- the famous decree Maximilian declared death to any Mexican who dared to proclaim any Political principles or defend his country in any organisation, even if it numberod one bun- dred thousand men—death within twenty-four hours following the sentence, Article 2 gives even @ corporal right to try and shoot any Mexican general for offences under the decree. Article 13 prevented any demand for pardon. Throughout the document there is a barbarity evinced that is atrangoly incompatible with the civilization of the age, and its effective opera tion could not fail to exasperate tho Mexican people to any deed of retaliation. Under this decree, only ten days subso- quent, thero wore executed in Michoacan two liberal generals, four colonels, five lieutenant colonels, eight commandants and many sub- ordinate officers. It drew out a protest on the part of Mr. Seward, throngh Mr. Bigelow, to the French government, Tho answer, as will be seen olsewhere, was an fasult, which our Secre- tary of State generously swallowed. Said Drouyn de Lhuys, in answer, “We are not re- sponsible for Maximilian or his government.” * * * «You have the same remedies there that we had.” It was this decree, and the schooling in the most aristocratic court of by considering any merits of family, which- cling to the House of Austria, Had Maximilian, when he landed in Mexico, thrown himself entirely into the hands of the liberal party, and at the head of forty thousand French troops proclaimed himself President, not Emperor— for that title will kill any man in Spanish Amer- continent is universally conceded; and in showing our opposition to it asa nation we were not s0 much lending our moral support to Mexico as The great and moat telling point against Maximilian, in his military trial, was his famous its promulgation. We reproduce {t for con- sideration, together with the protest of our gov- ernment to France and the insulting reply we received from the French Minister. In the pre- liminary proclamation of Maximilian to the Mexicans he stated that President Juarez had statement; for during the intervention Juarez had not left Mexican soil, not even to accept tants driven to the mountains. In Article 1 of that drove. the Moxican people to desperation. Another argument held against Maximilian by .e Mexioan government has been that when the French left Mexico he had no reason to spill the blood of the Mexicans in upholding a hopeless cause—after the departure of Bazaine. The whole blame of the shooting of the Arch- duke lies leas with tho Mexican republic than with our own tame policy with reference to that country. Our honor has been sadly tar- njshed by the inoapacity of our State Depart- ment and the failure to grasp the Mexican pro- blem and solve it at the close of our rebellion. When General Grant gathered twenty-five thousand men on the Rio Grande to march into Mexico, and finish with the Mextoan half of our war, the expedition should aot have been crushed by sho ovil hand of Mr. Seward, but rather urged on in the bold, soldier-like spirit, that animates our people. Again, had wo placed a United States Minister by the side of the liberal government it would have been a practical avowal of our prinolples, and in all their acts our influence would have been felt, The lack of straightforward, manly action on the part of the United States, has sunk us much fn the estimation of the world. But the damage is done; it is too late to repair it; Maximilian is shot, and a beld warning is given to Europe net to make the American continent the scone of royal filibustering efforts. We lament that death was considered necessary to preserve order, aa is stated by Juarez to the Prussian Minister. We givo credit to the chivalric, hightoned spirit of Maximillan ; and as Americans we would have received him, had he lived, as a man who drew upon all our sympathios as @ nation; but tried by the stern laws of impartial justice, it will be eaid that he dealt heavy blows at the republicanism of our continent, and mot tho fate that might be expected in an attempt to foist a govornmont upon any part of its territory contrary to the wish of its people. The result of the mad scheme will be an immense influence brought to bear upon the United States to interfere tn Mexican affairs, and from the pre- aont shadows upon the horizon we shall not be surprised at any moment to hear that our trepps are hurrying towards the Rio Grande, EEE TS aon) Fourth of July, 1867. The woather is propitious for this ninoty- first anniversary of our national independence. The day we celebrate returns, 9a the whole, under favorable auspices. Notwithstanding recent rains the crops throughout the country promise to be the finest ever knewn. The prospects for hay, grain, tobacco and cotgon are particularly cheering. Cotton, indeed, may neyer again be hailed as king; but the pro diction ofa Mississippi Senator to John Bright, that in spite of temporary disorganization of labor at the South the production of cotton will be doubled in ten years aftor emancipa- of the world ata much less price than they have had it for many years, will soon begin to be justified. The presence of Congress at the national capital, td inquire into Presidential intor- Tuptions vf the work or reconstruction, en- courages us to hope that the session will result in so clear a bill as shall leave no excuse or loophole for evading or resisting the will of the people as expressed in the law framed and established by their representatives. Our foreign relations noed only a little more active life and@fiiciency in tho State Depart- ment to put the United States government in that position to which its real strength and im- portance entitle it as one of the great Powers of the earth. The voluntary celebration of the Fourth of July will be mainly confined to the States ac- tually represented in Congress. But, also, it will not fail to be duly observed in the ten States of the five military districts of the South. The military authorities, the loyal leaguers and the vast multitude of freedmen, will honor the day which the founders of the American repub- le rendered forever memorablo, not merely by 4 declaration of independence of Groat Britain, but bya declaration of equal human rights, the equal rights of all to life, liberty an the pursuit of happiness. Let us hope that the political year on which we enter to-day may herald the advent of an era of reconciliation, of prosperity, peace and good will. The time must surely come when, from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, all American citizens shall heartily unite in celebrating the anniversary of our na- tional independence. Then may we confidently expect to transmit to posterity unimpaired our precious horitage of law, liberty, union and social order. A recent historian says:—“With such resist- less energy and euch rapidity does the repub- lic march to imperial power that social changes take place among us in a manner unexampled in the more stationary populations of Europe. There, public calamities are long remembered and ‘ancient estrangements are nourished for centuries, Here, perhaps in little more than a single generation, our agony will have been forgotten in tho busy industry of a hundred millions of people, animated by now intentions, developing wealth and power on an unparal- leled scale, and looking, as Americans always do look, only to the future, not to the past.” Meanwhile, Sail op, O sbip of State! Sail on, O Union, strong and great! Escobedo=The Mexican Standard of Civiliza- tion. Escobedo says:—“I have made terror the order of the day everywhere. I have imposed large contributions on the rich and confiscated their property and their all. When I could not do it in person my delegates have strictly complied with my orders. I hope before closing my military career to see spilt the blood of every foreigner that resides in my country.” Such are the fine sentiments of the man who in the fall of the imperial lesders seoms to*have become the foremost military man of the Mexican nation. Ho is evidently @ representative man. He has the love of safe brutality that characterizes the debased Spaniard, and the hatred of order peculiar to the demoralized Indian. He bas “made terror tho order of the day.” Having» coward’s per- ception of the miseries of fear, he inflicts foar upon all as the cruelest torment he can imagine. Te does this “everywhere.” It Is, perhaps, bis way of protecting the Mexican masses from foreign tyranny. His confiscation of all property within his reach is another evidence of his sympathy with the sufferings of his people—unless, indeed, these confisca- tions are to be considered as in some way segocinted with bis longing for the “plgod of tion, and will be forwarded to the consumers’ every foreigner that resides in the country.” Tt may be that all the rich men are foreigners, and thus the throat cutting is part of the plundering. Thore is at least one satisfaction in contemplating these horrible utterances flowing from the fact that this man also is sure to go down in the current to which he gives impulse. He will be one of the victims of the carnage he encourages, Maximilian’s life was clamored for by factions that the governmont could not resist, and all the factions’ will clamor in their turn. These barbarians have in their blindness only started the wheel on which they will be broken, They have made it highly probable also that the Council of Notables which named Maximilian Emperor perhaps really did represent all the orderly elements of the country, and was to that butcher-ridden land the last attempt at self- preservation. It will be @ bitter reflection to the American people that they ever compelled the retirement of tho foreign enomies of Mexican freedom without taking some very positive security for the good conduct of these rufflanly elements of her population. The Extra Session of Congress. Congress mot yesterday, pursuant to adjourn- ment, with a quorum ‘in both bouses, Tho extra session is, therefore, fairly inaugurated, and the indications ‘dre that its action will be prompt, brief and decisive, Some disposition was manifested to enter into general business and to risk a prolonged session; but the proba- bility Is that the majority will put down all such attempts, and will confine the business of the session to the passage of an additional or explanatory reconstruction bill, which will render the intention of the former law, with reference to the qualification of voters and the powers of the military commanders, distinct and unmistakable; and an adjournment will doubtless take place as soon as this object is accomplished. There is a desire on the part of some. members to pross the impeach- ment of the President, but the prospect of its gratification does not seem very promising. European View of the Mexican Tragedy. Tho nows of the death of Maximilian in Mexi- co was received and published in Paris yostor- day. We ate specially informed by the Atlan- tic cable that Napclson immediately ordered the French Court in mournitig, A @rand mil- tary review, which was to have taken place to-day, with the imperial fétes in honor of the Sultan of Turkey were, countermanded. The preparations made by the Americans, at very great expense, for a fine celebration of the Fourth of July in the Pré-Catalan, Bois de Boulogne, were at once suspended, and the matter brought to a final close on the announce- ment of the confirmation of the sad intelli- gence. There are many points of view from which this Mexican tragedy may be looked at. Not the least important are the attitude in which it presents the government of the United States and the light in which that attitude will be contemplated by the various governments of Europe. We do not hesitate to eay that if Maaimilian has boon shot—and we have no reason to doubt that he has been—it will always be possible to affirm that there was one government which might have saved his life, which ought to-have saved his life, but which did not. The government here indicated is the gov- ernment of the United States. There can be no doubt that this is the light in which our govern- ment is now seen by every nationality in Europe. Tho opprobrium which attaches to Juarez and the barbarians who have acted with bim will be shared by the government of the United States. The judgment thus pro- nounced may seem severe, but it is just. It was in our power to save Maximilian ; we were bound by every principle of honor and dignity to save him ; but we have failed to do #0. We have been guilty, and the charge lies at our door. Can we blame Europe—can we blame the civilized world for so thinking and speaking of us? Reasonably we cannot. The United States were powerful enough when they espoused the cause of Mexican liberalism to compel Napoleon to withdraw his troops from the Western continent. The United States were powerful enough, all the world knows, to save the life of Maximilian, had they chosen to interpose with equal vigor and determination. If Maximilian has been shot it is because the vigor and determination which were successful in the former instance have beoa Wanling in this. On whom, then, does the blama obiefly if not entirely rest? It would be absurd to blame the American people; for their sympathies have been with the unfortunate Prince since the moment his life has seemed in danger. It would be scarcely less absurd to blame the whole American government. The blame, in fact, reats with one man, and that man is Secre- tary Seward. It is to him—to him chiefly, to him alone—we owe it that this great republic has been snubbed, as she never was snubbed before, by s party of cutthroat banditti. Him and him only bave we to thank for it, if at the present moment, in Europe and wherever hu- mane and intelligent men do congregate, our miserable policy is spoken of with loathing end disgust. A Prassian and a British Minister could find their way to Juarez. Strange that an American Minister could ‘not! Looked at from a Europesn point of view, matters as they now stand are bad enough. They will not cer- tainly be presénted in a more attractive light if it turn out that Secretary Seward has actually been a consenting party to this bloody busi- ness. It will be well if he can satisfactorily account for the course he has followed. Mean- while, the American public have a right to de- mand explanations. The Bruiser Bradiey. Bradley, the counsel for Surratt, disgraced himself and seriously damaged his client on Tuesday last by making a personal attack upon Jadge Fisher in the court room after he had lef the bench. Judge Fisher isan invalid and very feeble, and he was threatened with violence by Bradley, and had to be locked into & room by his friends to avoid an assault upon him by the pugilistio counsel and his son. The affair seems to have been unaccountably passed over by the court, but it was unques- tionably a gross breach of privilege, and the lawyer who was guilty of the outrage ought to be expelled from the bar. ‘Tus Prornmrtes or Butcueny.—The Mexican mule driver, Escobedo, evinced his sense of the proprietics in his recent military butcheries. He ordered Maximilian to be shot in front, facing his executioners, but he had his own countrymen turned round and shot in the back. Where Was che United States Minister? Our interest in Mon.°° makes @ singular ap- pearance in the light 0. Tecent events, Wo utter in the interest of rep 'lican institutions, our protest against the empirc’: 4nd it falls ; yet with all this interest we are witiut @ minister in the Mexican republic to express Our wishes astoa very important event. England .\nd Pras- sia bad ministers to protest in manly terms against a great outrage, and the United States had none. Our voice, the only one entitled to be heard by Mexico, was the only one not raised against her barbarity, for Mr. Seward’s diplo- matic whisper evidently never reached the ears of the Mexican authorities. As to Mr. Otter- burg, aaid to have been recently made American Minister, it is not known where be was ; but ho was, perhaps, away on an expedition to buy up the old clothes of the Mexican army. Te It a Jobe We are in receipt of some inquiries in rela- tion to the cost of the buildings on Ward's Island, which seem to imply that the Commis- sioners of Emigration have expended a large amount of money—some half a million dollars—on those buildings in a very india creet manner, and without advertising for.pro- posals for the work they have had done. How is this? The Commissioners of Emigration Teceive a vast revenue every year out of the emigrant tax and from other sources, and there should be some responsibility ‘and accountability for its expenditure. Do they give out jobs on which half a million of money fs expended without’ inviting compeli- tion? Will some ‘one who is in the secrets of the Commission give the public somo information on the subject? ~ Wuar 1s His Namet—The city papers yestor- day made gad havoc with the name of the Baron (ec Magnus, the Prussian Minister in Mexic..
