MEXICAN AND AMERICAN
POLICY ABROAD.
Probable Acceptance Of tho Crown OF
MeAfco by Prince MaXfml1lAn.

Correspondence Of tic N. 7. Ttibuuel
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The late malls
from Europe indicate that the objections
raieed By Prince Maximilian against his &C
ceptance Of the crown Of the Mexican empire
are graduvlly yielding According to co1e-
epoudeEce I have before me. the Prince.

resources Of Mexico, and having become cnn-
vipced Of the glorious part which that connt..

cially rendered to him By the deputataon OF
nine notables delegated tor that purpose BY
the Provisional Government Of MeIico. That
deputation has just arrived io France, and WILL
leave for Vienna in q few days. It WAS also
reported that Prince Maximilian was expected
In Paris, for the purpose Of having an inter
view with the Emperor Napoleon before his
departure for Biaritz. The Prince. it is said,
wifi leave Europe by the middle ofDecember,
SO as to be in Mexico at the beginning Of the
year 1864.
Another reason given for the Archduke's
acceptance is the favorable impression msde
upon his mind By the exposition OF the state
Of Mexican affairs transmitted to Vienna
through the agency OF the Austrian repre-
sentatives in Mexico, and who by the faYora-
bic manner in which the English press, as a
general thing, looks upon the occupation of
that country BY the French. It ia Burmtsed
in high places that the recognition of the
Prince by the English Cabinet will be imme-
diate, m event sufficient in itself to give his
power the support he needs from that quarter.

Dan Voorhees,, the great Indiana scces-
sionist, made speech ut Bucyrus, Ohio,
the other day in which, among other things,
he drew picture-the democratic party
in its long and unhappy exile from power
and Office He said:
+'Wheu think Of that it secms 10 me that, ban
81 iAhcd AZ We are, VIC feel like Adam and Eve when
"golrg ont ofthe ga1den Of Eden, trying to take
one long, last, lingering look at the nese1 dying
"groves Of their lost Paradise" lApplauee.l
That Is good, in fact it can't be beat.
Adam and Ere were turned out of Eden
for stealing APPLES, and malfeasance of
Office. They proved un worthy Of the trust
reposed in them. They were elected neck
and heels, and never re-entered their lost
Paradise" And 50 it is with the Copper
heads. The sovereign people turned them
ont Of the National Capital on account Of
their thiesish prorensities, defalcations,
corruptfons and disloyalty to true princi-
Piles, And like Adam and Eve they will
never be allowed to repossess it; they have
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting. The Southern wing Of the party
plunged into open, defiant rebellion. The
army is crushing it; and the people will
put the Northern wing where the patriots
Of the Revolution put the Tories Of that
day: Confederate and Copperhcad will
rot in one grave.

Judge Betts and the HAbeas Corpus.
[F1on the N. 7. Evening Post.1

. The important decision Of Judge Belts on
the writ Of ha5eas corpus demanded Of the
Federal Court in this city, in behalf Of de-
serier named Ba1dlnger, settles q question
which has veXcd opr courts and tried the pa
tlenco Of the officers Of the Government for
sou'e months past. Aside from the fact that
the United States Court thus declines to iu-
terfere with the arrest Of dese1ters from the
amy, the decision Of Judge Betts establishes
the legality Of the Presidents proclamation
concerning the haoeas corpus IN the light Of
Law and common senee; fo7 the n aole matter
In dispute could not be more neatl7 or logic
al]1 disposed of than It is In the following
passage Of the Judges opinion:
The Government has the right to defend It's own
existence, and when 1t is necessary 1t may say to
all, You shall not prevent or embarFass the ac-
ton Of the Government In. the exercise Of this
high power By any form Of legal action" It may
cay. :. Each man mnRt como forward to help de-
tend the national fe, and he cannot inte1pose the
that he is called on to do more than his neighbor
1t is enough that he ID called on BY the Govern
ment and Is within its reach.
;. We Impose the H2me authority In other matters.
We supelsede all action On the part Of corpora
proceedings q iaai1fduais 81 injunction. Va
ping its actions as mnch rs by physical force. No
one thinks that such things cannot be done, 1t is
neeeteary tor the time being: And the suspension
OF the wit Of haoeas corpus is only saying that the
wit Is defunet for lie purpose OF nterposiag such
objections, and no court shall act In reference to
such cases:
Judge Belts also argues that military Of
ftnces, such as desertion from the colors, are
properly triable only by military court
This Is the rule Of war In all countries, and
there Is no reason why exceptions should be
made here. Reversing conditions, it would
BE- regarded as great nbaurdity to put civ
linn on Trial before court martial for the
nnfr n~F1 1,z-~E< <1~xv &oif A$A
New York or the town Of kinderhook. The
eticA1ers for tie the witt Of habeas corpus fall
into blunder Us bad as this when they try to
bring military officers before civil court.

Morton, on Sixth street. lie has been ill for
several weeks, but It was not until within
few days that his many friends gave up all

politics of Quincy md Illinois deserve better
notice than We can prepare to- day, which must
be our excuse for the commission.
Since writing the above, the following has
been handed us, By one who has known Judge
Williams long and intimately:
We have lost dear friend, and the Bar one
Of its brightest ornaments. There were few
better lawyers than Archibald Williams. He
was not quick man, but his powers ofana1y-
els we're unsurpassed. He thought with great
clearness, and while not eloquent In the usual
aeceptation Of that word, lew could withstand
was always well and clearly known, and was
we'll and c1ea1ly told. Honest, generous,
kind-hearted to fault, but very retiring and
modest, none knew him well that did not
love him.
:. The younger members Of the Bar found In
him always q kind friend and teacher; the
tagonist worthy the skill Of the best OF the
Judge Williams WIS q self: educated, self
mnde man, and ever tried to improve his
mental powers. When Quincy VAS mere
village, In the year 1929, he settled here, and
commenced the practice OF law. He was after
ward rep1et entative ut various times in both
branches Of the Illinois Legislature, and WAS a
distinguished member Of the Constitutional
Convention in 1917.
BE wac appointed by General Taylor, Uni.
ted States Attorney for the District Of Illinois,
and served In that capacity With great ability
until the end Of Mr.. Fillmore's administta-
ton.
4 few days after the Inauguration OF Mr..
Lincoln as President, Mr:. Williams, Without
solicitation on his part, and greatly to his
surprise, MAS appointed United States District
Jnoge tor the State md District Of Kansas,
which State had just been admitted into the
Union. BE accepted the position and re-
moved to Topeka, Kansas, In which place he
has resided since the summer Of 1861. Of
feeble frame, bis overtaskcd mind oyercame
his bodily strength, and he passed away calmly
in the Figor Of his mental powers. We hare

The Governor is quite right in the explains
tion which he has given in the above letter,
Of the tenor Of the speech which he delivered
ut the late Union meeting in Galesburg. 1t
is precisely as understood It at the time, as
now very distinctly remember It, and as
to have transmitted 1t across the
wires, on the evening Of that great gathering.
Assu,edly, Cor. Yates is the last man whomI
wou1d willingly nisrepresent- may say, how.
ever, that tie whole report of the meeting In
question. was badly felegraphed, and full of
e11ors; not the least Of which Is that part Of
It which, according to Copperhead interpre-
tation, makes the Governor claim for this Ne
gro, all the rights, civil appointments and
privileges, that belong to American citizen
chip, including the right to vote, hold Office,
and sit On juries.
certainly had no intention OF convey
Ing any such idea to your readers, and am
equally certain that the Governor did not
make use Of any language which could be SO
construed. He spoke merely OF raising the
negro to the dignity Of freemen, master Of
himself and Of his own labor.

The maudlin military critic OF the Journal
slothes round, last night, In this teroclous
style:
equally silly invention, to the effect that the gal-
lant and doughty General Blunt recently Ignored,
epntne9 and went contrary to the orders Of Gen.
ba n Food q sa Hs5
u an officer or military man, from reading or
crediting this absurd statement Of his unsold{e1ly
and nnof6ce1llke conduct.
And people get anything but a good idea Of
the truth who condne their reading to the
loose expectorntions Of that sheet. It will
be rccouccted that after Cen Blunt had reach-
ed Fort Gibson, about the middle Of July,
with handful Of troops for the relief Of
Col. Phillips, he made forced march ofifty
miles, fell on the rebel Cooper haTing force
cf G,Oo0 men, and defeated him badly. Afew
days Inter the rebel General being largely
reinforced and now numbering more than
1e,oD men advanced to Honey Springs, men.

5000 NTH. Gen. Blunt took up defensive
position to await reinforcements. he WIS In
great peril Of being surrounded and cut of.
He sent an urgent message t. Col. Cloud Of
the ed Kansas, commanding brigade at
Fayetteville, In the northwest corner Of Ar.
kansas, to march to his rescue: He some
time previously had sent dispatches to Gen.
schohe1d, acquainting him With the position
ofthings, and asking tor relnforcements. Il
is asserted at Blunt's headquarters, aud SO
sent forth and published to the world, that In
stead Of forwarding reinforcements, schofeld
directed or ordered Blunt to retreat-to fall
back On Fort Scott. THIS statement appeared
without contradiction in the leading public
journale. It came to US both By letter and
telegraph. We have neyer seen it contra.
dicted. Gen. schofeld's c1aquers have not
asserted that he ordered Blunt to hold his
ground, or that he sent him reinforcements.
Whether Blunt "set an example, Of fnsubor.
dination" or not, Is for others to decide, but
one thing Is true, that he took the RESPONSE
bllity Of holding his ground in the face OF
vastly superior forces, untu Col. Cloud came
to his aid by forced marches, when hs Iname-
diately proceeded to attack the rebels, routed
them, and pursued them away down to the
Texas border, thereby clearing the whole
