The new Austrian Emperor Of Mexico,
see MS to be in tribulaiA,n about starting to
the scene of his imperial labors. Through
the whole of that singular affair it seems to
have been the desire of all concerned I'd
postpone the departure from Austria to the
latest day possible. Maximilian seems full
ly aware that he is about to assume the dan
gers as well as the honors of the shakiest
throne in the world. His organ, the Memo
rial DiplomatiQue, in lauding his majesty for
the benevolent manner in which he has
taken upon himself the salvation and re-
generation of Mexico, and explaining why
Max. reserved contingent rights to the
throne of Austria, says:
'The dangers which menace the new mon
archical establishment in Mexico may come
from within or from without. At home,
determined to become the rallying point OF
all the vital forces of his new country, the
Emperor of Mexico will never be the ex-
elusive expression of any party whatever.
still less the instrument of reaction. II
ever the rights and liberties which he in
tends to accord to his subjects become arms
in tried hands and compromise the stability
of his throne, he will not hesitate an instant,
rather than stain his crown with single
drop of blood, to follow the example of his
grandfather, in 1S4S. He will descend from
the throne rather than to tolerate in his pres
ence civil war;"
That means that Maximilian intends to
''skedaddle" from Mexico at the first symp-
tom of revolution there. The termina-
ton of the civil war in America is to be
looked after and the danger of the United
States, under vigorous and national Ad-
ministration, interfering in Mexico, is thus
alluded to by the same journal: "In the ex-
terror, the events passing in North America
are of nature to bring about in future,
more or less distant grave complications,
which should be foreseen and provided

Hon. G. w. Cass.

This gentleman occupies very elevated
position among the public men of Pennsyl-
vania. He is an able and accomplished
statesman, and higher honors await him
than any his friends have yet proposed to
confer upon him. He is one of the delegates
at large to the Chicago Convention from the
good Old Keystone State, and his great
power and influence will be felt there for
good. Since he has been President of the
Pittsburg Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail
way, he has done for that great and import
ant thoroughfare what few other men could
have accomplished. He and his able Super
intendent have brought order out of chaos,
and have made that road one of the very
best in tbecountry. We congratulate them
upon the success they have attained.

Richmond by passing to one side ~ them;
But that cannot be done. To do so would
be to leave the rebel army in his rear, ana
it is to gain precisely that position Tor tne
main body of his army, in other words, to
get between General Grant and Washing
ton, that General Lees maneuvers will be
directed.
GENERAL LEE DESIGNS TO THROW HIS MAIN
BODY BETWEEN GRANT AND WASHINGTON.
In word, depending on the vast advan-
tage which his army enjoys in positions; on
the various defensive lines to which they
can successfully fall back; and above all, on
the impregnability of the defenses OF Rich
mond, it Is General Lees design, after the
Union army has crossed the Rapidan, to
move with the main body of his army north
ward, and either to throw himself in
Meade's rear, and endeavor to defeat the
Union army first, or else to make bold ana
rapid push toward either Washington or
Pennsylvania, while he leaves Meade's
army engaged with those OF his forces that
are left on the Rapidan. If this plan seems
improbable, let it be remembered that even
at the worst that portion of Gen. Lees army
left on the Rapidan will do all that his whole
army could do If worsted, namely, fall back
to Richmond; and that the presence OF
large rebel army is not considered necessa-
ry for the defense of that city; and finally,
the rebels firmly believe, and always act on
that belief, that they defend their capital
best by threatening Washington. They DO
not now fear any operations of ours by way
of the peninsula. They did anticipate much
trouble from that atdirectionwhenGen.S Smiths
two corps were first sent down., because
they expected that that officer would super
sede Butler. But now that they under
stand that Butler is retained as the head of
that department, they have no apprehen-
sions of any military operations that may
be undertaken therein.

General Blair's Charges Against
Secretary Chase--ActiOn of the
House Thereon.

House Thereon.
We give in this paper the principal and
most important parts of the speech on Sec
retary CHASE, made in the House of repre-
sentatives, on Saturday, April %, by Major
General FRANK P. BLAIR, of Missouri. Gen
eral BLAIR is an earnest and devoted Lin
colnite, and hence the war he makes on
CHASE is in the interest Of his master, LIN
COLIN. But the country may profit by the
exposure he makes, for ''when rogues fall
out" &c.
Some weeks ago General BLAIR made
similar charges against Mr.. CHASE in the
House, and offered to back them up with
facts. He begged the appointment of an
honest committee to investigate the charges;
but the matter was referred to the white
washing committee on the Conduct of the
War.
After it was found impossible to break the
force of General BlAIR's charges, an attempt
was made to blacken his character. Repre-
sentative MCCLURE, from Missouri, was en-
ployed for this purpose, who charged BLAIR
with gross fraud in liquor speculation
The charge was referred to special COM
mittee of three, who, on the 23d ult., made
report wholly exonerating BLAIR, and
showing that one MICHAEL Powers, an
agent Of the Treasury Department, had, for
speculative purposes, forged additions to
the original lawful order of General BLAIR.
Upon the coming in of this report, Gen.
BLAIR made the speech we print in this
paper. He reiterated his former charges
against Secretary CHASE, and added others
of still more serious nature. No friend
Of Mr.. CHASE attempted to defend him.
Gen. BLAIR took leave of the House, having
been assigned by the President to the COM
mand Of the 18th Army Corps. As the at
tempt to disgrace him in the case of the
liquor speculation had failed, charge was
now brought against him, in his absence,
that he had been, in violation of the Con-
stitution and the law, occupying seat In
Congress, while holding a commission as
Major General in the army. Mr.. LINCOLN
was applied to for information; but he, as
our readers know, replied substantially that
If BLAIR had in this manner violated the
Constitution and law, ScHENcK, of Ohio,
was in the same predicament, and that both
he (LrNcoLS) and STANTON had given it
their sanction. ScHENcK denied Mr.. LIN
coins statement in regard to himself, and
there the matter rests. The House on Sat-
i,irday last appointed a committee of nine
70 inquire into the charges against Mr..
CHASE.

ANDREW JOHNSON, the Union candidate for
Vice President, was born in Raleigh, North
Carolina, in 1903. At the age of ten he was
apprenticed to a tailor, with whom he served
seven years Having completed his trade, he
removed to Lawrence, South Carolina, where
he worked as a journeyman for two years
He returned to Raleigh in 1925, where he
continued to work at his trade. Shortly after
he removed to Greenville, Tennessee, and
commenced work as a journeyman; remained
there few months went farther west, but
soon after returned to that place and COM
menced business on his own account. In the
meantime he had learned to read and write,
devoting the greater portion of his nights to
study.
He commenced public life soon after by
being elected Alderman, and in 1885 was
elected to the Legislature. He ran again the
following year, but was defeated; but ran
again in 1889, and was elected. In 1910 he
was IA Presidential Elector on the Democratic
ticket, and stumped the State In 1841 he
was elected to the State Senate, and in 1913
was elected to Congress, where he continued,
by reflections, until 1858, when he was
elected Governor Of Tennessee after an ex-
citing canvass-his competitor being GUsTAvUs
A. HENRY. He was reelected in 1855, and
at the expiration Of his term was elected
United States Senator, where he remained
until the close of the session of 1861. His
subsequent career is too well known to re-
quire notice.
He was a Democrat of the ANDREW JACK
SON school, but since the Rebellion broke out
he has had no politics but the Union.

About Gen. SchUrz.

Some time since copperhead paper in this
State-the Milwaukee News if our memory is
not at fault-originated an item to the effect
that Maj Gen. CARL ScHURz was in command
of a convalescent camp at Nashville, and that
his predecessor was a Captain. This item
was duly telegraphed to the Chicago Times,
and has finally got into the Eastern papers
generally.
The Nashville Times of the 9th thus dis
poses of it: ...
"There is not word of truth in it. Gen.
S. left his command in the army of the Cum
berland in consequence of the consolidation
of the lth and 18th corps and reported to
Gen. Sherman, who would have given him an
active command in the field, if one had been
OPEN Unwilling to be idle while waiting,
Gen. ScRurz, by order of Gen. Sherman, IN
dertook the formation of large camp of
instruction, consisting of very considerable
number Of new three year troops, then COM
ing from the northern States This body of
troops was intended to form the nucleus of a
large reserve force to be organized here AS
it became necessary to scatter these regiments
upon a long line of railroad, Cen. S. has again
reported for orders, and is now waiting for a
new command, just as good many Generals,
who are among the Louisville Journals favor
ties, have done before him.
Gle is, therefore, neither appointed to the
command of a convalescent camp, nor was his
predecessor a Captain, inasmuch as he him
self formed the camp of instruction and had
no predecessor at ALL" --.-.1

Departure of the seth Regiment.

After many delays, one of our Militia Reg
iments-the Thirty ninth-has at length got
started Dixieward. And the start was a
good one, made at the appointed time and in
the best of order, on the 18th.
At eight the regiment left camp and march
ed down Spring street in a style that showed
the excellent drill and discipline to which it
has been subjected. The boys were enthusi-
astieally greeted all along their route, but
particularly from the crowded balconies of
the Newhall From the Lake House across
to the opposite side of the street were hung
several large Union flags, which, as each com
pany passed beneath them, were saluted with
tremendous cheers.
An immense crowd of the friends of the
regiment-anywhere from one to two thou
sand-were present at the depot, to give the
boys parting good bye, and saluted them
as the train with its precious burden moved
slowly away from the station.
A crowd nearly as large greeted the train
at the Racine depot, almost the entire popu-
latlon seeming to turn out to witness the de-
parture Of the regiment. The citizens OF
kenosha intended giving the boys a dinner,
but as one had been provided at the Soldiers
Rest at Chicago, we presume the train would
not be stopped long enough to allow of this.

gratifying to the boys to see such evidences
