Macmillan left the city Of Mexico on
the Esd instant, resigning verbally In favor
Of General Bazaine. General Bazaine en-
deavored to persuade him to delay his de-
parture until General Castelnaus arrival,
two days later, but he declined, and, es-
corted by eight hundred Austrians, pro-
ceeded to Orizava by cross roads to avoid
meeting General Castelnau. He reached
Orizava yesterday, and Is expected here
tomorrow.
"The captain Of the Austrian frieate
Dandoto states that as soon as Macmillan
arrives he will at once leave for Europe.
II is said that Macmillan will publish to-

THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL
...-. AMENDMENT.
Politicians of various ways of thinking
are closely canvassng what the President
may or may not do on the subject of the
constitutional amendment with the meeting
of Congress, and the general remark which
they make is, ave will not be surprised
to find him heading off the vindictive re-
sentiment Of Congress by boldly favoring
It's immediate adoption" Nelo York
Herald.
GENERAL sHERIDAN's NEW ORLEANS ORDERS.
1t is denied by both the President and
the Secretary of War that they have given
any orders to Major General Sheridan not
to arrest any Of the parties accused of COM
hitting murders on the 18th Of July in
New Orleans.
DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
A new and dangerous counterfeit Of
United States legal-tender notes of the
denomination of fifty dollars yesterday
made its appearance at the Treasury De-
partment, and was pronounced by General
Spinner, United States Treasurer, to be
one of the most skilfully executed ever
brought to his notice. The spurious note
was detected by the vignette of General
Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the
United States Treasury, which, on inspec-
ton, was found to have been split from a
two-dolar treasury note and neatly pasted
on the counterfeit fifty. The engrav-
ing Of the other portions of the note is
cleverly initiated, and can only be distin-
guished from the genuine by the closest
inspection.-National Republican.
n.,.... COUNTERFEIT NOTES.
The operatives of the Secret Service
Division of the Treasury have discovered
that countcrfeits of 800 notes of the First
National Bank of Boston, the 500 notes OF
the First National Bank Of Cincinnati, and
the 800 notes of the National Central
Bank of New York city, are in circulation.
The counterfets of the latter-named notes
are pronounced excellent, the engraving
being first class, and the general appear
ance good. The only difference known to
exist is in the letter ct" in the word
" maintain" near the female figure on the
right-hand side of the face of the note,
that letter being imperfect in the counter
felt issue.-Chronicle.
