Is it, we take leave to ask, the of inde- pendent English to absolve tho authors of this immense calamity, because Maximilian preferred his honor to his safety, and declived to take with his deoeivers and ‘ers? The tree history of all these transactions remains to be written, and we believe the materials writing i are in sure and will be submitted In due time to the judgment of the civil- oreo.

The apolorists of that ravago di of October, 1865, which the French persuaded Maxin to asserting that the unhapy nd amiable prince was over- borne by the pressure of military men, who, as all Europe well knows, are nover slow to shed biood, and who have not learnt to respect human life in Alzeria or in Paris, Is it, then, unreasonabie to suppose that Presi. dont Janrez, whor those who know him intimatel, Clare Lo be ‘+a brave, humane and honest citizen,’ was overborne by the miliary officers who sat on that court martial at Querotaru, somo of whose comrades, friends and relatives, perbans, had been shot in cold blood tu pursuance of that imperial decree? It 13 hard to be Compelied in the inierests of truch and justice to recall these facts at tho present moment. But if history is philosophy teacning by exemple, let us at least, whethor imperialists or republicans, mon arch or subjects, endeavor to draw some. profit- able, though bitter, lessons from these sad events, There ts another point in the mournful narrative, which, tn justice both to Maximilian and to the Emperor of tue French, should be correcily stated. In March last the Emperor Maximilian had decidod on abandoning Mexico, Ywo Austrian ships-of-war were ready to re- coive bim at Vera Cruz, Ap ald.de-camp was actually sent from Vienna to Gibraltar to meot him oa bis rowurn to Europe. Who detained him? That clerical party which three years ago was intriguing at the Tullorios, and agitating at Miramar to induce tho Archduke to om- bark upon a crusade for tho overthrow of the constitu Uonal government of their country, Thst clerical party from whose counsels the honesty and intelligence of Maximilian, and even the~cou' admirable lady. piety of vhat ight young life was in dark perptoxi- that clerical party which denounced peror Maxirauian at Rome, and withdrew from him tha benediction of the Hoty Father, in March last, when the French army bad procipitatoly d trom the sceno of its sterile triumphs and its ancompleted conquests, and Maxi. milian was abandoned an easy prey to the national forces he had defied; that clerical party which had in- vited, deserted and denounced him, tatercepted him on his way to Vera Craz, and, with offers of a new treasury and anew army, entreated and persuaded him to re- trace bis stops tu the captial and purzue the war in that quarter, And who wero the generais of this clerical party? Tue notorious Miramon and Marquez: Miramon, who had broken into and BF ag the British tle and who: destined “soon embassy Marquez, a man ® thousand maur- ders But the clerical plastres were not forth- coming; and the clerical army wes a bandtul of desperate outlaws, led by men of infamous re- on. Thus, as even a semi-official compiler of news for the French public is fain to acknowledge, ‘those who first invited Maximilian to Mexico retaiaod him there; and as they deceivod him when they said that the whole country awaited him as its saviour, they like- wise deceived him, when, at the last moment, they per- suaded bim that be might hold the country by foree of arms, although the French themselves admitted that this was impossible,’ This semi-ofiicial historian of course forgets that M. Rovher bimseif, over and over again, in the Corps Logislatif, has said and written pre- cisely what the clerical party in Mexico told the ill-tated Maximilian last Maroh, and what the French themselves then admitted was impossible, Our duty as simple ser- vants of the truth is to take care that neither the cleri- cal y nor the second empire shall be defrauded of its Just share of responsibility. The task is not a bappy ors grateful one, and were it not for the ill-judged attempt of certain of our contemporaries to assist the Monevr ia darkening knowlodge, wo would gladiy leat it to the passionless and teariess tribunal of history, Marshal Bazaine’s Rule.

He was backed by Represomtative Marshall, of Iitinois, but had not the support of the Senators bis own State, and thorefore could not be confirmed in any event, sidee, his tilt with Goneral Grant about the Vicksburg affair made him unpopular with the radical element, a fact which in itself would leave no chance for his con- firmation, Asfor Otterbourg, he was nover soriously contemplated, the President having refused, even Qgainst Mr, Seward’s endorsement, to saddie himself with the weight of sending in the name of that illue- trious diplomat for confirmation.

A curious case was tried here yesterday aftornoon, bo- fore Justice Walter, which {a iis Mrat development gave good promise of revealing the dark machinations of an- other Guy Fawkes plot, but which after investigation resulted in nothing worse than the arrest of an indi- vidual for expressing an uncharitable opinion, accompa- nied by avery absurd threat, A man named Samuel Strong, who lives near the Capitol, presented himself at police headquarters yesterday, in company with one of the Capitol police, and asked to see Major Richards, the Police Superintendent, The Superintendent being ab- sont, an officer then on duty heard his complaint, which was a3 follows:—That while sweeping off bis pavement that mofning he beard one of the workmen engaged in paving Maryland avenue say that if he could got several barrets of gunpowder be would placo them under the Capitol and blow it up, with all the members of Con- gress init. Hesaid that he had immediately reported the fact to one or two Senators and to Judge Fisher, all of whom had said the matter ought to be investigated at once, Upon this statement a warrant was issued by Justice Waiter, and placed in the hands of detectives Clarvoe and McDevitt, with the following instractions :—‘Samuel Strong charges a certain gentleman, name uokown, but can be pointed out, with making threats towards mem- bers of Congress, and verily believes that he will dis- turb the peace in the county aforesaid. You are hereby commanded immediately to apprehend the said person, and bring him before mo, a justice of the peace." The officers, accompanied by Mr. Sirong, proceeded to tho spot where the would-be Guy Fawkes was at work ; bu tthe latter, suspecting the Intentions of the officers, tempted to escape. He was speedily captured, however, and taken td police headquarters, Ho gave bis namo as Charles Sorre!!, and was employed asa laborer to assist the pavers who wore paving Maryland avenue. Mr. Sorrell stated that on the morning before the day's work commenced, Mr. Strong was sweeping the sidewalk in front of Lis house, and became engaged in conversa- tion with the workmen, who were sitting nearby, Mr. Strong remarked that Congress had about finished their labors in passing the Supplementary Reconsiruction bill, and would adjourn at three o’clock. Mr. Sorrell replied that “Congress and the Capito! ought to have been blown up before they passed it.'’ “Why, you are a rebel,’ said Mr. Strong; “I will have you arrested right away. The Dry Tortugas is tho place for you." ‘The men then went to work and Mr, Strong went into the house. After hearing the statements of both parties Justice Walter was about to dismiss the case, and informed Mr, Sorrell that he would be discharged on giving secority in the sum of $300 to keep the peace, when Mr. Strong arrived with his witnesses, whereupon the Justice de- ¢ided to hear the evidence in the case, which is as fol- ves. sworv—This morning about haif- agent was sweeping the pavement in ber of workmen Pointed to.the Gapitol or made aay ‘Wersese—Your word is not worth anything; you are ander oath. ‘The prisoner replied, ‘Yes, sir; I did not know that it was any harm to say what I di0.”” ‘The’ Justioe announced that he should bold the felonsed frOm custody, ‘a wiser If not a better man."

At the conclusion of Speaker Colfax’s speech at the serenade last night the crowd called upon Senator Yatez, at Wiliard’s Hotel, Senator Yates was introduced to the assemblage and, after a few preliminary remarks, m as an tudividual, but as an advocate of republican principles and a rember of that body which bas been rid to its principles and its country. The nation bas just through a tic war, but thi the aid of Divine Fovidence the Star a Banner again waves over the laud from ine to California, The South has aocopted the situation. It is now for ihe republican party to ac- cept theeituation. What is thar Bitastion Ie is that no rebel shail ocoupy @ piace in the administration of our nations! government.

Be- ing @ Senator he coutd Say that the President ought to be impeached, but would say that thore was suflicient evidence in the lon of the House Judiciary Com. mittee to § impeachment. Tho republican party must accept the situation in another respoct. There has been @ war in Moxico, Maximilian has been exe- cuted and the democratic party is exprossing its disap- probation of the act. The republicans should etand by Juarez and the liberal government. Jt is the duly ot our government to declare that no foreign peloes or potentato shall establish a govorument on Awerloan soil, If necossary, les war be declared azainst any coun. try that may attempt to sapplant liberty in America The republican party has declared that equal si ze shall extet in the District of Columbia and the Southern Staves, Now they must do forthe North as they have done for the South, and Impose equal auilrage upon evory Sigto, Thus it is that the republicans must accept tht Giualion. Let us work yytil no rebel can stand in place of trast or power, Quill ho foreign government shail have a foothoid on the continent, and uatil liberty is perpetuated on American soil.

Geeeley’s Nomination for Minister to Aus- trian, Tho true statement about the action of the President and Senate on Mr. Grecley's nomination for the Austrian mission appears to be this:—The President made the nomination without consulting Mr. Greeley, and the mattor went over one day, and could not be taken the Senate without unanimous consext.
