The large expenditure on the track and buildings is an
evidence that the line is maintained in efficient repair, and
at the same time its permanent value is enhanced. The
increase of capital other than by conversion of bonds is
$893,300, of this there appears to have been appropriated
$614,391 for construction; the additional cash on hand
was $258,000, and the balance appears under the hands of
the General Superintendent.
The transactions in American securities on the London
market during the past week have been numerous and im-
portant, prices generally being well supported. United
States Government Stocks show little alteration; the 5-20's
of 1862 being last,quoted 721 to i,:and the 1865's 714 to
Illinois Shares close 76 77, or half per cent. under the price
of this day week. Eries, after our last, declined to 44, but
from this on renewed buying fcr shipment to America they
have reacted to 474 to 484. _ .

Some buying on Continental account advanced tho quo-
tation for Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Bonds
to 21, but the decrease in traffic receipts for June, on this
line in common with nearly all American railroads, has
had a prejudicial effect, and they have to-day declined to
221 231. The Divisional Bonds have also receded about
2 per cent.

Maxim

Anna.

Maximilian, born archduke, some time ruler of
one empire, and, but for a sickly child, heir appa-
rent to another, sleeps with his fathers. The deed
has been consummated for which the Emperor
Napoleon may be partly responsible, but which
blackens with an ineffaceable stigma the Mexican
name. The murder of this unfortunate prince is
entirely in keeping with the traditional cowardice,
the bloodthirsty cruelty, the feminine spite which
have long been recognised as the nation al cha-
racteristics of his assassins, and which have
earned for them the loathing of Christendom,
the undisguised contempt of every Anglo-Saxon
soldier. By, for the Mexicans, an unfortunate
coincidence, their wanton crime comes upon the very
heels of an act of clemency in a contiguous nation,
which, as a sequel to provocation far more bitter
to the conquering majority than the course of
Maximilian could be to the majority of Mexicans,
sets forth his murder in colours more offensive and
pitiful by the contrast. It is urged that a certain
retributive justice extenuates the course of Juarez
and his associates, since Maximilian had caused
the execution of some of the Liberal officers. To
this it is to be said, first, that, granting the facts,
they were necessarily covered by a plea of mili-
tary necessity which was entirely inapplicable
to the retaliation ; and, second, that we have
strong assurances from sources entitled to credit
that Maximilian repeatedly insisted on 'saving,
and actually did save in many instances, the lives
of officers whom his military tribunals had con-
demned. But the cases are so far different that a
comparison becomes idle on the least survey of the
two situations. In the heat of war, with rival parties
struggling for existence, actions are performed ou
both sides in most cases which would never be
tolerated or excused under other circumstances.
When the ex-Emperor was shot war was over.
There was not the least pretence of danger from
further military measures on the part of the Im-
perialists. Their cause, long before known to be
hopeless, had now absolutely collapsed, and the
fact was matter of notoriety. The handful left
to Marques might retire to the mountains, but
with far less chance of protracted resistance than
Johnson had after the surrender of Lee. Moreover
solemn assurances were tendered to the Repub-
lican leaders that their captive, if suffered to depart,
should never again set foot on Mexican soil. Maxi-
milian was allied by blood or marriage to nearly
every reigning family in Europe, and the representa-
tives of their respective nations offered to Juarez
every security, exhausted every argument, pleaded,
implored, threatened, but all in vain. The generous
nation wanted blood, and blood alone would appease
its thirst or assuage its patriotic fury. The people
who for forty years have misgoverned themselves
rather worse than the most savage African tribes
could not forgive even an unsuccessful attempt to in-
troduce among them the intolerable curses of law and

order. Notwithstanding a large party among the
Mexicans themselves desired the establishment of the
empire, none, it seems, in the hour of peril has had
courage to stand forth and protest against a deed
which for needless and dastardly cruelty, outside of
Mexico, is almost unparalleled. The Republican
leaders have thought proper in this business to
treat with contempt the entreaties of the repre-
sentatives of the great Powers of Europe ; this they
may afford to do, since further infringements of the
Monroe doctrine are likely to be indefinitely post-
poned. They have also passed by with disdainful
indifference the humane solicitations of the United
States Government ; how far this will prove to
have been a judicious policy remains to be seen.
The shooting of poor old Santa Anna, which seems
to have been regarded by his sanguinary captors as
a suitable afterpiece to the bloody drama already
enacted, is, in some respects, less defensible than
the execution of Maximilian ; but it is to Ls
remembered that Santa Anna had been the occasion
of infinite misery to his country, and that the suc-
cessive offer of his services to Maximilian and to
Juarez deprived him of his last right to be credited
with patriotic motives. Neither of these deeds Will
be forgotten or forgiven. They will do more to
sink the credit of the Mexican nation than anything
in its history. It is amazing to find writers in our
own press seeking to palliate crimes so shocking
and so useless. They are the acts of wolves, not
men, and as such they deserve to be recorded and
expiated.—Round Table.
