DOM PEDRO IL. The Proposed Visit of the Emperor of Brazil to Europe and the United States, The Troubles Which Eeset a Monarch. Opening of the General Assembly of the Empire. ble Speech from the Threne. The Emperor Assails the Bugbear of Slavery—A Splendid Programme of Reform—Deserip- tion of the Opening Ceremony. Rio JANEIRO, May 11, 1871. ‘The long-mooted subject of a foreign trip by His Majesty Dom Pedro II, Emperor of all the Brazils, has within the past week been brought almost to a fait accompli, and there is now little doubt that before the close of the present mouth we sbail be governed by a regent, in the persou of the Princess Imperial, Donna tsavel. The Legisiative Chambers were opened by the Emperor in person on the 3d of the present month, and on the Sth the Minister of the Empire submitted to the Chamber of Deputies a bill asking, as 13 re- quired under the constitutiun, permission for His Majesty to leave the empire, and that the Princess Imperial be appointed Regent during the interval of @beence, with all the attributes of the Moderative and Executive Powers. ‘The Mimster also recom- mended thatasum of two nuilion miireis be ap- propriated for the expenses of the imperial voyage, and stated that his Majesty would not require the leave to extend beyond the 1st day of April, 1872, On the 7th inst, the bill was passed, after some dis- cussion and slight modification, allowing $200,000 for the expenses, and directing that three Ships of war of the Brazilian navy be detailed to act as an imperial escort. The reason officially assigned as the great object of the trip 1s the restoration of the health of her Majesty the Empress; but tt is very weil known that the project of a European tour has been p vallingin the imperial mind for about two ye: and if her Majesty’s health was the cause which first suggested it it was indeed severe that permls- sion to seek restoration had not been accorded long since. Of course the quidnuncs have not been siow to snuif up the rumor-laden atmosphere which always surrounds the unhappy mortals whose mortality is infused with the purple blood, and there are numerous wise waggings of the head and stretchings of the neck, as 1t is confidentially hinted, by everybody to everybody, that “his Majesty will never return to these shores.’ Certain it 1s that the wish of the Emperor has not me: with mucn popular favor, and there are few indeed of his sub- fects who will not regret deeply his departure, even though only temporary. Dom Pedro If. is probably as popular a monarch as any the world has ever seen, and though it is well known that there exists an influential party in the country who Would gladly revolutionize the emptre, sull even these turbulent spirits will never attempt such a crime during his reign, And in this spirit of for- bearance they are governed quite a3 much by per- sonal regard forthe Emperor, who 1s a wise, just and benignant sovereign, as by tear of his power, But it is asserted that Dom Pedro is tired of Brazil, Be is a man of advanced views, liberal and eplight- ened policy, always expressing the most earnest de- sires for the soctal, political and material develop: ment and welfare of the nation. In ins efforts to give effect to his expressed views in these regards he has unquestionably never been aided by his min- isters or any department of the government. He is @ hundred years in advance of his Cabinet ana dep- uties, courtiers and all. He would be a titting mon- arch for @ people of Anglo-Saxon stock, and the sluggish, suspicious, taciturn blood of the Latins by whom he is surrounded cannot, anda would not ir it could, be stirred into activity with the progress of the age. Itis known that the Emperor perceives this as acutely as any man living, and that he feeis that the usefulness of his reign is impaired—the wheels of his wiliing power to make the nation really great heavily clogged. Ever since he attained the majority of manhood he has siruggled against this incubus, hoping that time would relieve him of it; but still if clings to him, and the knowing ones say he has relinquished the contest and seeks to escape from influences which are opposed to all his higher aspirations as a man and as a monarch who has been frustrated in his desire to make his reign an illustrious one. His European tour, it is claimed, means simply eventual! abdication in favor of his daughter, the Princess Lmperial. And here again crops ont unother peculiar vein of the strata of ill-omened gossip which underlies the whole project. The Princess Imperial 18 the wife of the Count @’En, son of the Duc de Nemours, and tue harpies of evil, who are presuging all manner ot Tearful things of the Imperial absence, say tuat the Count will exercise too umportant an maaence over affairs as the husband of the Princess Regent. He 4sa man of considerable activity and ability, and harmonizes with the ideas of the Linpevor. In tie second place he 18 a soldier by profession, and puted to be a good one, and 11 was very largely due to his presence and abllicy Inthe flelad that the cent Paraguayan war, which had so long embu Fassed the nation, was brought to a sudden and tiumphant iermination. tn him, it is claimed, the old slow coach members of the governmeat see a Menace to tuetr biissful torpidity of ideas. ‘These, then, are some of tie unpleasant sugges- tions which cluster in the foreground of an event such as is usually made the occaston of p.geant and wishes of ‘God speed” among other natious. Their Majesties will sali by te steamship Donro on the 24th inst., but as get Dot @ single suggestion has been heara as to the steps to be taken o¢ the display vo be made when the people are to wish him ‘fare- well.” ‘The bavon really seems moody and sullen. Against all these dismal forevodings, however, which certainly will be deeply regretted by the friends of progress everywhere, there is a back- ground of brighter probabilities. Dom Pedro ts one of the cultivated and intellectual men of his time, and it Would be anticipating litve of all nis great aud recognized qualities if 1 were sanely supposed that he were about now to mar a bright career by shrinking from a@ responsipility which he ianerited, accepted and has borne honorably tor over thirty years. His father, Dom Pedro L, was compelled to abdicate, and ordinary pride would impel 113 sou to redeem that event by himself dying m the imperial harness, Hts deep devotion co the Welrare of Brazil, which has urged him for so many years to work sternly for ner advancement, is @ guarantee that he knows its importance. No ignoble act has ever been Dinted of regarding him, but it would ve ignoble to abdicate voluntarily when the part of a hero hes clearly Within the line of his duty. Since his acces- sion to the throne he has never for an hour been ab- sent from his dominton, and rarely even absent from his capital city, and there is every reason why the natural desire of an jutellectual man, educated in Kurope, should be in favor of some relaxation and change of scene and surroundings after long appii- cation at the post of duty. Again, the health of the Empress ts stated to be the prime motive of the voyage. There is a delicate provabiulity hinted atas the roundaiion of this rea- son, There is ho male issue of the imperial mar- riage, and there are no children from the union of the Princess Imperial with the Count d’Eu to con- tnue the succession in the first degree of amnity. ‘The Princess Leopoidina, whose recent death in Europe has been a source of deep aMicuion io their Majesties, was tne motuer by ber busbana, te Duke of Saxe, of jour sous, aii of whom, L betieve, are living, and in the event of the death of the F cess Imperial, Without issue, the crown will revert to the eldest child of the Janented Leopoldina, The Duke of Saxe, it 18 reported, ief Brazil in high dud- eon in Consequence of the retusal of Dom Pedro to aliow him to take service during the Paraguayan ‘war, and it ia suspected that he 18 not of very strong Bravaliau sympatines, even ough his children have @ Very fair legal prospect of wielding the sceptre of dominion here, A desire, therefore, to see his grand- onildren, who may be called upon ere many years to wear his crown, may very naturally exist in tho Emperor's mind, as well as to know somewhat oF their caucation, tendencies and surroundings, But the delicate matter to which | have alluded above accords with the oficiaily asserted object of the trip, and may be, alter all, the real object. It 1s sod that itis the Emperors intention to consult euunent European medical authority with a view to ascertain either the possibility or the probabiiity of her Majesty the Buipress bearing. a son and beir wo the throne, so that the dynasty may be conupued in a direct line and thus avoid the possibility of dis~ satisfaction. So mach, therefore, for the theories on both side and I think the vresumptons are agaist iuose W forebode evi on the subject. Asa further evidence that his Majesty seems resolved to strive sttil stronger than ever before for the advancement of his empire I may pomt to THR SPEECH FROM THR THRONE, delivered vy the Emperor atthe opening of the Chambers, in whitch it will be seen there is more real enlightened sentiment than ts usuaiy found in royal messages, With @ terseness and directness of issue that can only be compared to some of Presi- dent Grant’s Congressional messages, ‘Phe Emperor, in addressing the Avsembly, sald: AND Mos?

THE CEREMONY AT THE CHAMDERS. On the third day of May in ea most tm- posing ceremony to be wiine azil takes: place at the Senado, or hall of the legislature, mm the Cainpo de Santa Anna, Tpis ceremony 1s the open- ing of the Chambers or General Assembly by the Emperor, and this year was no exception to tne generalrule, At one o’clock his Majesty entered the Chamber, the military bands in the Campo playing the national anthem, a battery of light ar- tillery fired a saiute, the forts in the harbor belched out their salvos and the hills from Pao d’Assucar to ‘Nijuca and Corcovado, and away up the bay to the Organ mountains, sent back the oit reverberating echoes of the welkin, he nall of the Senado is a very plain and rather small chamber, with the seats of the deputies ar- ranged in crescent form and facing the throne, Whea the Emperor entered all the members, as well as the cittzen and oificial visitors and guests pre- sent, ro3o to their feet, with uncovered heads. His Majesty was escorted by the Count D’En, tie Duke di Caxias, the Mimster of the mpire, several chamberlains, silver sticks and ushers, and the Senators in full uniform, with dark biue coats, heavily embroidered on the breasts and sleeves with goid In Noral designs. The judges of the courts wore their customary robes ot black satu, and all tne principal ofticers of the army and bavy, with # Dumber of iadies of rank, were also present. The Empress appeared, attended by the ladies of honor, richly attired, and the svene altogether was one of cunsiderable bill- haney. The Emperor was attired in the full lmperial robes, and looked dectdediy an emperor. On his head rested the crown, which is composed of a circiet of gold, with a dome formed of golden bands ascending to the apex. A golacn ball, surmounted with across of gold, occupies the crest of the coronet, and all the bands, as well as tue circlet, were richly set with diamonds. ‘Through the tnterstices of the upright goiden bands forming the roof of the crown could be seen @ green silk cap, which enclosed the Em- peror’s head. His surtout was of white silk embroidered with gold, and, confined by a belt about his waist, reached to his knees, Over the stlk surtout Was Worn a deep bright-green flowing robe of satin, opening at the front and clasped about pe pee Re Al rove geaghed o his feet and was in ith ‘Yellow slik; 3 were richly bor- dered by bullion leafwork and, swarms of golden bees clustered over the back of the garment. Over inis green mantle was worn a cape composed of the brilliant yellow plumage of the toucan, and outside of this cape, closely encircling the monarch’s neck,” was acollar of broad white lace, The royal legs, which are decidedly well proportioned, were coy- ered with flesh-colored sliken tights, terminating in a pair of white satin slippers, with diamond clasp fastenings. White garters, with diamond studded buckles, Were fastened just beneath his knees, and in his hand his Majesty carried tho sceptre. Some decorations of gleaming gold, enamel and precious stones were conspicuous on his breast also. ‘The Emperor would not be readily recognized now by those wno are familiar with lus features only by his portraits. These portraits have usually been exceedingly accurate, and he has always been rep- resented as wearing a tolerably full beard of soft brown shade, and with brownish hatr. That was the Emperor of Six years ago, but within that inter- val the brown haw upon head aud face tas become blanched almost to white, and, though only forty-six. years of age, he appears much more iike fifty-six. It is said that this rapid transition has been mainly due to the anxiety which he experienced in conse- quence of the warin ?araguay, superadded to the other responsivilities which press upon him. For it should be remembered that Dom Pedro is no mere figurekead monareb, but an mdustrious, anxious and faithinl ruier of bis people, and the pres- ence of his carriage in the street, as he drives about from one department to an- other of the government service, 19 i everyday incident. No jess than twice has he passed veneath my window while lam writng this jetter. ‘There is no ostentation in his display beyond tie fact that his coach has @ trifle of gilt work about it, is drawn by six horses, with outriders and postil- lous in plain livery, and is escorted by the very modest number of eight dragoons, AL the opening of the Chambers the Emperor ap- peared in a new carnage, eet wi sides and front, light frame of gilt, and lined with crimson, fol- lowed by an escort of lancers. It was noticed, also, that he entered the Senate with bis crown upon his head and so left the hall, whereas his usual custom has been to assume the crown wien he had asconded the throne, removing it Just before leay- ing. The Emperor retired trom the Chamber im- Taediately after reading his speech, simply declaring in conclusion, ‘The session is opened.’? The scene in the Campo was very brilliant, infanty, cavalry and artillery taking part in tne display, Aimong the Americans present were Mr. Wrignt, acting Chargé d’Affaires of tne United States; Pay master 8. ‘ft. Browne, United States Naval Store- keeper resident in Rio Janeiro, and the following officers of the United States steam sioop-of-war Nar- ragansett:—Commander R. W. Meade, Lieutenants 1. M. Yates and Z. L. Tanner; Lieutenant of Marines Waliack, Ensign Taussig and Midshipman Ray. There 18 no doubt that a visit to the United States is incladed in the programme of the imperial tour, but this wiil be deferred until the return por- tion of the voyage, Dom Pedro is one of tne most ardent admirers of the United States to be found in any foreign land, and for years has cherished the roject of visiting the great republic. At st it seems as though hit Abe will be ‘realized, though so far oficial records go Europe only is mentioned. Next spring, should he eventually reach your shores, Americans will no doubt be ready and willing to honor them- weives by @ becoming reception of one of the most liberal rulers and imtellectual monarchs of his time, The steamship Douro 1s @ vessel of the British Royal Mail Steamship line, running between this coast and Southampton, via Lisbon aad Bordeaux. 1 have aa yet been unable to learn precisely who will compose the impertal suite, but it will probably not include more thon @ dozen persons, exclusive of servants.

In this caso there must be a decree for the plaintitt for the property transferred to the Iselins by the bill of sale of May 1, 1889, and for the $1,900 paid to them on that day, and for the vatue of the securl+ Ues referred to in the confession of judgment of February 25, 1869, beyond the amount paid in re- demption of the same by the Iselins to the parties with whom the same were pledged, There must be an accounting im respect to the above matters be- fore a master if the parties do not agree on the amount.

Mr, Gray and Mr. Davenport appeared for the pe- tittoning creditors, and Mr. Seward and Mr. Crosbie for the railway company. The question in the case is whether—the railway company being a foreign corporation—the court has cay jurisdiction m the matter.

UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. arge of Stabbing on Board Ship. Before Commissioner Shields, The Untied States vs, John Arwo.—The derendant, who is a Clilnaman, was yesterday charged before Commissioner Shields under ihe following circum- stances:—N, Gupuil is captain of the siup Thomas Owens, of Portland, Me. Towards evening of the 29th of May, while the vessel was olf the Delaware, a fight or squabble arose between one of the seamen, Sidney Baldwin, and Jovn Arwo, the cook, The mate immediately stopped the quarrel, and atter it was hushed up nothmg more appeared to be thought of it. The cook went to his room in the galley, swearing that he would leap overboard and drown himself, He stayed in the galley a few minutes and then made an attempt to go forward, but was stopped by the mate. Next morning, about six o'clock, When Baldwin was relieved at the wheel to get his coffee, and as he went to the galley for that purpose, Arwo said to him, “I have something to settle with you.’ Baldwin replied, “Here I am; you can have me,’ proceeding at the same time to get his coftee; but he did not drink it, as he sus- pected that the Chinaman had poisoned it. Baldwin Was in the act of going away, when he was met at the forward part of the forward house by Arwo, who used very foul language toward him. He struck at Baldwin with a dagger and cut him on the left arm, Baldwin seized the Chinaman by the throat, Knocked hi m down on the deck, and while down Arwo drove a large sheath-knife into Baldwin's side, giving the blaae a couple of turns, ‘Tbe vessel arrived iu this port on Saturday last, and yesterday morning the captain of the ship aud Baldwin appeared before the Commissioner and complained to the eftect above stated. ‘he accused was held in $5,006 ball to await an examination on Thursday next.

Peter S McCormick vs, Morgan, Keene & Co.— ‘This is an action for alleged unlawful sales of stocks and overcharges for carrying stocks through the period of the “Black Friday” panic. The plaintiff had had previous transactions with the defendants, in which sales and charges, similar to the ones now complained of, were made; but those accounts had been settled =without objection; bat the losses of the ‘Black Friday’ transac- tions, during which time the plaintiff was absent from the city, forms the ground of the present action. He now seeks to recover un- der the plea of unauthorized sales and usurious cuarges. The stock of which the sale Was made was some 200 shares of St. Paul, and also some $30,000 short gold. The total amount claimed is about $4,000. ‘The defence is that the account was car- ried on under a general discretion, and espectally that during the panic they did the best they could for the plaintiff in his absence, and tn fact saved him by unusual favors trom much larger losses, The case ts sulion.

If there could bo apy doubt as to this beingso the subsequent amendatory act (Laws of 1*63, chap. 212) confirms this opinion. The act, y understanding of its subject mataar and ion. ies only to those courte having territorial Jurisdiction co-extensive with the bowndar! it the St A is apparentiy auxilifary to the tion of the Code, and reaches’ further ¢ the procedure there presctibed by defendant cannot be found within the State, It construction service “of process or paper for the commenc ment, of io the prosecution, of any action or proceedin, where the defendant is a resident of the State, bt cannot found (Colina ys.

Such conditions reasonably confer this power of construc- tive service of process upon “any court” only having the most complete general territorial jurisdiction, as there fa no necessity in fact or autuority in law to resort to this, mode of service if the defend ean be aally served witbia the territory of the State, or, by publication (Code, section 125), rerved beyo: d its limits, fink chat the act ‘under courideration apples, by necessary inference, only to the Supreme Court, in its aeveral judicial districta, and tniends “any court! of that organization which ie divided into separate aud somewhat independent circuits, ‘The rot apparentiy has no relation to any other courts.” The words othe sai Whenever it anal atie- factorily to ang court,” are, in thel ‘significa- tion and ehetency lanited. by the other words: immediately folto “or any judge of the Supreme Court or any county Judge.” Judicial officers are not therein enumerated by way of instance or example, but afe words restrictive of the general words preceding, used, as I think, to indicate that the statate ref: © courts in which those judges are pamed. fers to th act Judicial! in the order in whieh Where ghuoral Worde are thus wea in ‘counecon with a JUNE 6, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEET. {eular words tho mute ts to construe the general words as applicable to the things or persons purticular'y mentioned. So, by this quite familiar rule of constrnetion, the here mentioned are the words that more certainly guide 1s to the meaning of the statute, which, as [ have airendy sald, means, I infer, the Supreme Court only. The County Judge 4s obviously mentioned in the act (as that oficer is likewise u named in section 135 of the Code) as being the auxiliary to the Judges of the &upreme Court in granting such orders, in the absence of such judge; ‘an office which the County Judge performs in other tne dental matters of a similar nature’ in the ¢ b practice.
