Governor Brownlow sent his message to the extra Session of the Tennessee Legislature yesterday morn- ing. He complains that the action of the Legislature last winter left him no choice but to disband and pay off the militia, The Governor is of the opinion that ex-rebels should not be enfranchised, and if the power were given him he would hang every one Wao is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, Trouble is anticipated with the Indiins upoh the Piaing, All the tribes that had congregated around Fort Larned are reported to have left in very bad humor, refusing to hold any communication with the whites, and it is feared that after placing their women and children in safety they will make hostile demoustrations against the railroad. General Sully 1s still at Fort Larned, and has ordered the troops in | his department to concentrate on the line of the Arkansas river. General Halleck and staff sali to-day from San Francisco for Alaska, for the purpose of inspecting the military posts tn that Territory. « government yesterday consummated favorable impression on that government and people in reference to the wishes and pur- poses of tho United States in our fu- ture relations with tho sister republic. Such an appointment is of itself the most flattering recognition of the government of Juarez, and carries with it the most friendly intimation that as faras possible our government will assist him in the establishment of law and order, in- dustry and prosperity, in accordance with the Monroe doctrine, Since the French invasion and the ostablish ment of the empire of Maximilian our relations with Mexico have been mainly conducted through Seftor Romero, Minister of the repub- lic at Washington. Since the withdrawal of the French army of occupation and the over- throw of the empire, with the bloody death of Maximilian, the republic has been awaiting at tho national capital a duly accredited Minister from Washington. Meantime the representa- tives in Mexico of all the European govern- ments who had recognized and served under the empire having been dismissed with the restoration of the republic, General Rosecrans will be the first ambassador on the ground from any of the great Powers in the work of reopening commercial relations under the republic, To a question on the subject in the British House of Commons on Monday last Lord Stanley replied that Mexico (the republic) broke off relations with England in consequence of England's recognition of the empire of Maximilian; that if the republic should make overtures for their resumption there would be no difficulty about it; but that dignity and self-respect would not permit, England to solicit the renewal of official inter- course between the two countries, And so it is with France, Spain, Belgium and Austria. General Rosecrans, therefore, on his arrival at the Alaska purchase by signing at the State Department " i a draft for $7,200,000 for the payment of the purchase | the Mexican capital will find himself, in refe- money. The draft was delivered to the Russian | rence to the international affairs of Juarez, Minister and the proper papers in return exchanged, As General Butler was _passing through Baltimore on Monday evening, en roule to Massachusetts, he was arrested upon two suits issued by the Superior Court of Maryland. One was on 4 sult for false im- prigonment, sued out by W. C. Wooley, of Cincinnati, and the other by Kimberly & Brothers, of Baltimore, to recover $3,000 exacted of them by General Butier when commanding at Fortress Monroe. A large reduction of clerical force is to be made jn the Freedmen’s Bureau and other economies inaugurated. It {8 proposed to withdraw the insti- tution entirely from Maryland, excepting only @ small force to carry on the educational interests of the negroes in that section. Nearly all the civil employés of the bureau in Arkansas have also been discharged. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has tele- graphed to collectors that spirits may be withdrawn from bond upon the owners’ complying with the re- quirements of the new Tax bill, All distilleries must ve closed until the owners have given new bonds and complied with the other requirements of the new law. The Chinese Embassy leave Washington at noon to-day for this city, en route for Auburn, where they will spend several days, They will then start for Niagara Falls, returning to Boston, and on the 19th of August they will gall for Europe. A railroad bridge of eighty feet span at Slatington, Ya., Was carried away by the freshet on Friday night, By ten o'clock on Monday night following a new bridge of one hundred and thirty feet span was completed and the cara running over it. The Board of Health at its meeting yesterday Adopted rules and regulations providing for prompt Gisinfection in cases of reported cholera, similar in @ffect to those in force last year. The Treasurer was instructed to procure the approval of the Governor to the loaning of $15,000 to be used by the Board in Westchester and Kings counties. A report was pre- sented by the Sanitary Superintendent in relation to sprinkling the streets with disinfectants. Dr. Har- ris' weekly report of vital statistics was presented, whioh shows that the death rate in this city has fallen off to an extent fully equal to the absence of the fatal effects of the heat week before last. The suicide mania continues unabated. Yesterday afternoon Catherine Youghan, of 540 Eighteenth street, cut her throat with @ razor; and yesterday morning Danie! Miller, of 67 Laurens street, who had been locked up on charge of assault and battery, committed suicide by hanging himself to an tron bar of the ventilator of his cell. Yesterday evening an unknown man at Coney Island blew out his brains with @ pistol shot. On Monday evening the City Council of Baltimore @ppropriated $50,000 to the relief of the sufferers in the city by the late flood, $150,000 toward repairing streets and bridges and $20,000 for removing the rubbish, The Board of Trade also adopted measures for the relief of the sufferers. On Monday a mortgage was executed by the diree- tors of the Missouri Pacific Railroad to the amount of $7,000,000 to secure the payment of the bonds of the company. This instrument calied for a $7,000 revenue stamp. Yesterday at noon the steamship Colorado, from Liverpool, landed at Castle Garden six hundred disciples of Mormondom. In the afternoon the whole crowd was sent on ite way rejoiciug toward the dominion of Brigham Young. Judge Hogeboom has decided to hear an ary 1 Ment in Chambers, on Saturday next, in the city master of the situation. Meanwhile our special correspondent at Rome has given us a curious bit of news in relation to Juarez and the Church and Church party. It thus appears that with all his sins and transgressions against the Church and the Church property of Mexico Juarez has found grace with the forgiving Holy Father; that his Holiness, at the request of Juarez, has con- firmed the nomination of six bishops made by the latter to sees in Mexico; that the Pope seized the opportunity for a hit at the heretic Prime Minister of Austria, in announcing these appointments to the cardinals in consistory directly after-delivering his allocution against the abolition of the Austrian Concordat, and that such juxtaposition must deeply wound the Austrian imperial family and still further widen the breach between Vienna and Rome, Juarez is said to have written an autograph letter to the Pope, couched in the most peni- tent style, apologizing for his past acts and promising « splendid future for the Church in Mexico. On this tack, however, Juarez will be apt to fail, as Maximilian failed in betray- ing the party with which he came into power. It was the liberal party with Juarez. It was the Church party with Maximilian. Tho European complications suggested on the Mexican question from these new rela- tions between Juarez and the Holy Father we are strongly tempted to consider. It will suf- fice for the present that they must widen the breach between the Pope and Austria, and tend to closer relations between Austria, Italy and Germany at large and Russia. We are dealing, however, with the mission of General Rosecrans to Mexico, Asa good Catholic he will command the confidence of Juarez, his government and people, all Catholics; but as a good American, General Rosecrans may be useful to Juarez in defining to him the beauty and simplicity of the American system of the complete separation and independence of Church and State. The world is coming to this, England is breaking ground in this direction ; Austria, in a few bold strides, has advanced from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century ; in Mexico we had supposed the question set- tled in the removal of the late empire, after series of bloody struggles running through nearly half a century. If Juarez is now on the back track he will be swept aside. As the best advice we can give him we should advise him on this vital question of Church and State to consult freely with General Rosecrans, if he would learn the secret of the internal strength of the government of the United States and the Way to @ prosperous prolongation of Mext- can independence, Hudson, on the bailing of George H.

Tho war possibilities lie out of the ordi- nary line. For the last year we have only been able to think of war in Europe as possible on three questions—the German, the Eastern and the Italian. In none of these did we feel warranted to mako much of Great Britain. We felt less warranted to make much of Spain and Portugal. and Portugal are the warlike Powers, Tho Spanish Supreme Court of Justice has just confirmed the decision of the lower court es- tablishing the legality of the seizure of the steamship Tornado, which in the early part of last year very nearly produced a casus belli between Great Britain and Spain. It will be remembered by most of our readers that towards the close of 1866 the ship Tornado, flying British colors, was boarded by Spaniards and carried captive to Cadiz, the ship's crew being rather inhumanly treated. Complaints were immediately made, and early in 1867 4 British fleet sailed for Cadiz. As the Spanish goverament showed itself open to reason and expressed itself desirous only to have the question legally tried—giving proof of its good and honorable intentions by giving up the Victoria, another ship in circumstances almost identical with those under which the Tornado was seized—no action was taken by the fleet. Time has rolled on. The Tornado case has been tried by the lower court, then carried to the higher court, the su- preme justiciary court of the country, and both courts have justified, as we now learn, the seizure of the Tornado, declaring it to have been legal. In the opinion of the Spanish gov- ernment the vessel was fitted out and manned in Great Britain for the service of Chile, then at war with Spain. Such is the case with Spain and Great Britain, At the same time we learn that the British gunboat Pandora, of the African squadron, had, in order to put down illicit trafic in human flesh, landed men on the Portuguese coast of Guinea and taken possession of the place. Portugal is now angry with Great Britain for invading her territory; Great Britain is now angry with Spain for re- fusing hor justice; and it remains to be seen whether Great Britain will not soon be at war with the entire Iberian peninsula. The Tor- nado case will be submitted to the law officers of the English crown; the Guinea case will be submitted to the law officers of the Portuguese crown; the presumption in both cases is not against the probability of war. The compli- cation is peculiar, and we shall await the result with interest. Whatever the result, interna- tional taw will probably be the gainer.

It will also be observed that Mr. Seward, in the enumeration of the States which have formally approved of the amendment, includes Ohio and New Jersey.

He wrote her a note from their den, an obscure drinking saloon on the outakirts of the town, eo en his undiminished love for her, telling of the situation of himseif and friends, and urging her to meet him near the saloon that night shortly after dusk.
