New York, Tuesday, July 9, 1867, EUROPE. The news report by the Atlantic cable is dated yos- terday ovening, July 8, Napoleon, it is alleged, charges the death of Maxi- milian on the Mexican charch party, Tho Vrussian plan of a North-German tariff has been accepted by the other States. M. Ponsard, the French dramatist, is dead. By steamship Scotia, at this port, last night, we have interesting mail details of our cable despatches to the 30th of June. Active naval and military preparations which were being carried on all over France produced a “ profound impression.” An extraordinary war credit was intro- duced into the budget deranging tho first calculations, and every arm of the service, for land and sea, was being recruited, drilled and strengthened. Tho Dano-Prussian difficulty relative to the future Position of North Schleswig continued, and wo are told from Paris that ‘the people of France are in full sym- pathy with the Danes.’’ Ananimated debate took place in the French legisia- tive chambers relative to the financial part of the Mexi- can question, the Minister pleading that it would be “tin- convenient’ to speak on the political portion of the sub- ject just now, CONGRESS. In tho Senate, yosterday, Mr. Trumbull, from the Judi- ciary Committee reported a bill to give effect to the Re- construction act, It was ordored to be printed. The text of the bill will be found in our Congressional pro- ceedings this morning. Mr. Chandler called up his reso- lution relative to the correspondence between the newly appointed Mexican Minister and the Secretary of State, and Mr. Sumuer called op his resolution calling upon the Secretary of State for all information in his posses- sion touching reéent events in Mexico, both of which were adopted, Tho resolution of the House, tendering a vote of thanks to General Sheridan, was not pasted, the Senate deciding that it could not be considered undo the resolution which limited the business of the session to reconstruction, The Senate then adjourned. In the House Mr. Adams, ono of the Kentucky delo- gation, was admitted to his seat, Under the call of States for bills and resolutions, the resolution of Mr, Shaoks, of Indiana, in reference to Mexico and the doath of Maximilian, offered by him on Friday; a simi- Jar one by Mr. Harding; one by Mr. Wood inquiring into the seizure of Santa Anna on an American vessel, and whether summary action 1s not called for by the government in the premises; anothor offered by Mr. Brooks directing the Jotmt Committee on Foreign Affairs to report @ Dill repealing so much of the neu- trality laws as prohibits the organization of companies for securing a settioment in Mexico, and another by Mr. Baldwio rejoicing in the delivery of the Mexican ro- public aud the overthrow of the empire, and reflecting ‘upon the supineuess of the State Department, wore all reierred. Mr, Ashley Introduced a joint resolution proporing an- other amendment to the constitution, which was referred to the Judiciary Committees, A resolution was iptro- duced appropriating $500,000 for building a Post Office tn Now York city, whicu was referred to the Post Oflce Committee, and another abolishing national banks was referred to the Committee on Banking and Currency. The report of the Committee on elections on the creden- tials of the Kentucky members was received, laid on the table and ordered to be printed. The protests of Mesara, Young and Beck, two of the delegation, were referred to the Committee, and it was instructed to inquire into the acts of disloyalty alleged aud sit during the recesa A Fesolution was adopted requesting the President to inform the House if the recent published statement of Cabinet Proceedings was correct, and it its publication was made with bis knowledge and consent. Under a suspension of the rules, Mr. Batler offered @ preamble and resolutions, appointing a committee of five to investigate the facts of the assassination conspiracy, and granting grace and ‘amnesty to accomplices in the crime who shall give faithful evidence tending to bring the details of the con- piracy to light, After some modifications, the resolu- tions were adopted and the committee was appointed, with Mr. Batler as chairman. Mr. Stevens, from the Reoonstruction Commitiee, then reported bis bill addi- tional to the act of March 2, and gave notice that he ‘would call a vote on it to-day at balf-past one o'clock, Afier some debaie on the proposed bill, the House ad- Journed, THE CITY. The Board of Councilmen met yesterday afternoon and adopted a number of resolutions pertaining to routine matiera, The resolution heretofore adopted, and vetood by the Mayor in consequence of Its not having received three-fourths vote, by which was directed to discontinue farther action in the of widening and extending Church street, was called up. Mr. Stacom urged its adoption, and by consent it was Jaid ovor till the next meeting. A chaotic mass of orders and counter ordors have been made in the case of the Merchants’ Union Express Com- pany, all of which are retarnable on Monday next. In the United States Commissioner's Court yesterday, before Commissioner Osborn, William Salem, Adolph Asher and Nicholas Lausen were charged with illegally Temot one bundred and nineteen barrels of spirits from & distillery with intent to defraud the United Btatos. The parties were discharged on giving bail in $10,000 each to appear on Friday next, on which day Qn examination will take place, Stephen Smyth, @ policeman of the Fifth procinct, ‘was arrested yesterday for trying to shoot bis rounds. man, Miles Deshays, while the squad for night duty Was in lino at the station house, about to start out on their night tour, He drew his pistol upon the rounds man, but the hammer fell without exploding the cap, and he was immediately disarmed. The eause alleged for the attempt is hia enmity towards Deahays for hav- ing reported him frequently for violations of the police regulations, The stock market was heavy yesterday, Govern. ment secaritios wore strong.

Our Matamoros letter, under date of Jane 28, gives some account of the taking of Mexico city. Marquez is still missing, and the probabilities are that he bas escaped for the present, Sefor Romero, the Minister at Washington, discredits the report of San‘a Anna’s ox- ecution, and thinks there ta no probability of ite truth. The Constitutional Convention reassembled, after the Fourth of July repess, yesterday, but no business of importance’ was transacted, A resolution offered by Mr. Cochrane, for the formation of a National Guard reserve, to be composed of certain officers of the guard and honorably discharged officers of volunteers, was referred. An inquiry into the expediency of prohibiting the payment of extra compensation for public works was also referrod, aud the Convention adjourned until this morning, at eleven o’clock. ‘ The defence in the case of Surratt was opened yoster- day. The testimony of Sergeant Dye was contradicted ‘by two actors, who testified to having been tho persons who asked for and called out the time of night in front of Ford’s theatre on tho evening of the assassination. Considerable further evidence was adduced, and the defence was compelled to ask an adjournment until to-day, on atcount of the non-arrival of witnesses from Baltimore. Governor Brownlow has issued a proclamation, order- ing elections to be held on the first Thuraday in August, and directing the militia commanders to arrest Judge Gault, the Chairman of the Conservative State Execu- tive Committee, or any one elso, if they should persist in trying to defeat the Franchise law as construed by the Governor, and also to disperse all assemblages hav- ing in view the holding of illegal elections or the defeat of any regular election, More deaths have occurred among those wounded in tho recent affray at Frankiin, and Generel Carter has been despatched to investigato the affair, Tho yacht Fieetwing arrived at New Redford on Sun- day morniug, having sailed from Cowes on the 26th of Mi ‘General Sickles has postponed registration in. his dis- trict until Congress has decided as to who may and who may not rogister. Prospect of a Reign of Terror in the South— How to Stop It. The news of the bloody collision on Saturday last at Franklin, Tennessee, between a Loyal League of black radicals and a hostile gather- ing of so-called conservatives, will have sur- prised no one possessed of any knowledge of the turbulence and fighting propensities which prevail among the leading politicions and their followers on both sides throughout the State. Parson Brownlow and his radical State govern- ment, in their stringent measures of rebel dis- franchisement, rebel disabilities, and punish- ments for rebel offences, in addition to negro suffrage, and from their ferocious electioneer- ing system against the so-called conservatives, as “the blood hounds of Jeff Davis ” and “the dregs of the rebellion,” &c., have aroused a cor- responding measure of hatred, wrath and fe- rocity in the ant’-Brownlow opposition party. The State election, which will embrace a Governor, a Legislature and members of Con- gress, docs not come off till August, and with five or six weeks more of agitation and fanning of these combustibles thero is a prospect that election day in Tennessee will be a day of terror, bloodshed and confusion throughout the State. Intelligent men, detailed from this office, who have recently canvassed the Southern States for information touching their material, social and polilical situation, report that Tennessee to-day is by far in the most disorderly, con- fused and turbufent condition of any of the States concerned in the rebellion; and that Tenuessee and Kentucky, of all the late slave States, are most in need of Congressional re- construction from top to bottom. The one is 80 excessively radical in its State administra- tion as to call for the intervention of Con- gress, and the other is so excessively State rights as to be nothing better than a chip of the old block of the Southern confederacy. The duty, therefore, devolving upon Con- gress, ot “guaranteeing to each State a repub- lican form of government,” would seem to de- urand some positive legislation in behalf of Yennessee and Kentucky; and, outside of their borders, we dare say there will be but little complaint should Congress dovetail them in the new bill of Southern reconstruction, Meantime, it will be perceived, from an inflim- matory Jacobin speech by a negro doctor of divinily, the Rev. Lewis Lindsay, at Mudwall, in Virginia, that the idea of enforcing social equality is getting into the heads of the South- ern blacks. Their representatives on the stump have recently, in various places South, been harping on the string of confiscation and free farms; butin striking that bolder note of en- forcing negro social equality the Rev. Lewis Lindsay is touching more emphatically the sanguinary music of St. Domingo. In all these manifestations from the Southern blacks, and in the opposing spirit of the whites, we can sce only, if left to themselves, the gathering ele- ments of a reign of terror and a war of races, and a war of extermination, too, in the South. How is this to be prevented? Looking at the persecutions of the negroes in the unrecon- structed State of Kentucky, and at the proscrip- tions and prosecutions against rebels in the only half reconstructed State of Tennessee, we think the ten excluded States have reason to be thankful that they are under the powerful protection of Congress and the army of the United States, and absolutely under their con- trol. Itis only by the military governments, too, of the five Southern districts that the States embraced therein can be saved from that conflict of races which is now foreshadowed in the political organizations of their whites and blacks against each other. The military eom- manders over these districts, with their ample discretion and means for enforcing law .and order, will be able to maintain the peace in suppressing all disturbers, whites or blacks, until the people of both races, in every State concerned, are brought to that degree of har- mony which will justify the full rgstoration of their State authorities, It is in this view of this important subject of Southern reconstruction that we commend to the Southern people the safety and the securities they now have, and which they will for some time yet possess, against a conflict of races and areign of terror,in being under the direct guardianship of Congress, a military com- mander and the national army. We have only to compare the law and order prevailing in Georgia with the disorder, violence and ter rorism prevailing in Tennessee, to understand the advantages ofa military provisional gov- ernment like that of General Pope over a too hastily and crudely reconstructed State goverm> ment like that of Parson Brownlow. i ‘The Fourth ef July and the Southern Press. We do not discover in our files of Southern newspapers any very jubilant weleomes ex- tended to the anniversary of American inde- pendence. One article, indeed, in an Alabama paper, is headed “Hail Columbia, Happy Land;” and another, in a Georgia paper, “The Glorious Fourth;” but both articles reveal the fact that each heading was intended to be “sar- castiku!,” as Artemvs Ward used to say. The first article opens thus:—“The bosom swells with emotion upon (his blessed day—the day when Columbia broke the chains of a tyrant and soared upward into the five military monarchies,” &c. The second consists of ex- tracts from the constitution, Thad Stevens, Crittenden, Nelson, Story, Chase, Wade, Abra- ham Lincoln, Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips and the New Yor Heracp, which extracts, being interpreted, mean to say to the North “out of thine own mouth thou art condemned.” Still another Georgia paper says itis “unable to see any propriety what- ever in the’expressions of gratification at the return of this once honored anniversary;” but it gives as a sentiment, “The Declaration of Independence—though lost to sight, to memory dear.” ACharleston paper presents an elaborate historical sketch of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, the formation of the constitution “the only legal bond of union,” and its ratifica- tion by the separate States “ with reservations ” by several of them, and, in the cases of New York and Virginia, with an express declara- tion in terms of the right of secession. Another South Carolina paper, announcing “the anni- versary of a nation’s birthday,” deems that for “the white members of this former Com- monwealth to participate in such a mockery, such a deformed effigy of the past, would be unbecomin:.” It cannot help, however, allud- ing to “this day, so dear to every Southron whose ances'ors participated in the contest for freedom and tadependence.” One Georgia paper speaks of the Fourih of July as a day that once aroused every sentiment of patriotism in the American heart. But the Fourth of July, 1776, was a long time ago, and a change has come over the fe-lings of the editor who passionately exclaims—“ To-day we would wel- come tho benign government that was then thrown off as a curse and after ninety years exchanged for miliary despotism and the rule of the mob.” Passing quickly from anger to grie!, the editor secks relief for his sentiments “in the pathetic language of the sweet singer of Isracl”’ Many other Southern journals growl or blubber about the Fourth ot July in similar fashion. But some are in a better mood. Another Georgia paper hoped on the morning of the Fourth that the weather would permit all to enjoy themselves to their hearts’ content, adding “the usual celebrations will be engaged in by those who honor the day, and all shouid.” A Tennessee paper says, in old fashioned Fourth of July style, “However we may dis- approve of the particular manner in which our country is now ruled, it is still our country, and, right or wrong, it is the greatest country of the world. As such we celebrat? the day of its birth as a nation, trusting that soon we may return to the principles of government established by our fathers,” etc. Finally, an Alabama paper declares, “In any event, the Fourth of July is yet a national day. Let us hope for the best, and take the most encourag- ing view of the future of our country.” Next year, perhaps, this cheerful sentiment will be choed by all the journals of the United Siates, from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from the Atlan- Mexico. There are some who profess to doubt the au- thenticiiy of Escobedo’s leiter announcing the inaucuration of a reign of terror in Mexico. We see no reason to question it. The letter is entively in keeping with the acts by which Juarez has signalised the triumph of the so- called liberal cause, There is less security for life and property in Mexico to-day than there hes been at any time within the last forty years. She is now in precisely the same _posi- tion that France stood in when the struggle culminated between the Jacobins and the Girondists. The Mexican liberals have dis. posed of Maximilian just as the Jacobins dis- posed of Louis Seize. All the indignation that may be experienced on the subject will only be so much breath wasied. It will have no more effect upon the perpetrators of these atrocities than the public sentiment of Europe had upon the Jacobins. The best thing that can be done for Mexieo is to let them fight out the quarrel among them- selves, Thero will be no peace for the country until the factionist leaders have killed each other off. Then the voice of common sense and humanity may make itself heard and order come out of chaos. Should this expectation be disappointed our government wili have but one course to pursue, and that is to save the Mexicans from themselves. Already public opinion in Europe is calling upon us to inter- fere. The time tor intervention, however, has not arrived. When we take a step involving such serious consequehces, it can only be when all hope of selfregencration is lost for that God-forsaken people. The Last Chance of the Facti We give io-day an account of the movements and games of the local political rings. These movements are, however, only the small struggles of small factions for the spoils, and have little consequence, except as they very seriously Increase the taxes. The hope is that the Constitutional Conven- tion, in establishing a new State and muni- cipal government, may put them all out of existence. There is but one way in which these Tammany and other factions can hope to keep themselves alive, and that is by all com- bining in the formation of @ convention to nominate General Grant for the Presidency. Let them do this—put up the national man by ® general movement, without any platform, leaving his name and his history as the exposi- tion of his political principles, and they may run into a new lease of life and popular favor. It is their only chance. Question. We call upon the Convention to settle the question of “nigger” suffrage and woman suf- frage. When the amended constitution is sub- mitted to the people let them have an oppor- tunity of voting distinctly Yes or No to each separate query, Shall “niggers” vote? or, Shall women vote? Let the narrow-minded views of Greeley be thrown asido. If the negroes are a down-trodden race we have no desire that the women shall be down-trodden ‘| likewise. a OO Tho Other Twin Relic in Danger. One of the twin relics has been killed. The other promises to die a natural death, The republican party will do well to content them- selves with the laurels they have won in the destruction of slavery. Polygamy only re- quires time to die without their aid. In yes terday’s Hxratp we printed an extract from the Salt Lake Vedelle, from which it appears that dissension has broken out in the sacred eamp. A serious difficulty has arisen between Brigham Young and certain of his leading elders, or, as they are called, apostles, This, we suspect, is the beginning of what will prove the end. The camp of the faithful, located though it was in the far wilderness, is again in dangerous proximity to the Gentiles. Modern progreas evidently does not share the respect which they themselves entertain for their pecu- liar institutions. The power of steam and the lightning thought of the telegraph will soon be too much for them. Railway and tele- graphic communication will on an early day be established between Salt Lake City and San Francisco. A little later, and the same com- munication will connect them with all the great cities of the Union. It will not be surprising if,ere many years roll past, San Francisco should become to the Mormons what Rome be- came to the ancient Sabincs, In any case Congress will do well to leave them alone. The Military Mission to Abyssinia. The repeated offers of his hand to Queen Victoria have not reconciled the British people to the persistent refusal of the black Emperor Theodore to liberate their fellow subjects whom he has so long and so unjustly held in bondage. The visit of tho King of Egypt to London seems to have brought matters toa crisis. It has long been known that Ismail Pasha was willing to join in any expedition which Great Britain might sanction to bring the black barbarian to his senses, In such an expedition Egyptian soldiers would naturally be more serviceable than British. If Egypt does not furnish the main body of the expo- dition, it is all but certain to form a powerful contingent. It is a good opportunity for the newly made King to extend his authority in the direction of the upper Nile. Great Britain cannot do a wiser thing than imitate the ex- ample of the First Napoleon, and make the expedition scientific as wellas military. Much yet remains to be explained regarding that land of the sun. As a result, the prisoners might be liberated, the kingdom of Egypt extended, the imperial Sambo captured and brought to London, and a large increase made to our scientific knowledge.

This is a character which, to be successtul, requires more particularly the entire absence jean’ and a close adherence to nature in the delineation of love and pride. Julia is a type of woman ‘we may meet with every day, and if her representative will only demean herself as any intelligent, refined lady would in private life under the same circumstances sho will be successful.
