OBITUARY.

ON the evening of Saturday, the 18th OF
October, 1866, departed this life, in the
thlrty-Erst year of her age, Mrs. MARY
ADAMS BROOKS, wife OF Capt. j. Hamp-
den Brooks, and daughter of the late ex
Gov. James Fl. Adams.
Amidst the gloom of the public calamity,
this visitation of death has been felt with
peculiar -poignance by the surviving kin
drcd and friends of the departed She
died at the residence of her husband and
hls mother, and her remains were inferred
IN the family cemetery at the village of
EdGefeld. 1t was on the 9th of January.
1896, that, in the bloom Of her youthful
health and beauty, she became a beloved
and cherished wife. Time only served to
endear her more and more to each and
Her genuine simplicity and truthfulness Of
character, her amicable prudence and good
sense, and her high spirit and native en-
ergy, commanded and enforced respect;
while her warm and sympathetic heart, her
considerate regard for the feelings Of
others, her engaging modesty and her uni
form sweetness of temper and manners,
inspired even moro of affection and love
During he brief period of life allotted to
her, she was not without her trials. de-
voted mother, daughter and sister, she
was visited with at1liction in all these rela-
tions. Her first-born, her eldest son, was
taken from her by death. She saw her
noble father sink into the tomb few wears
since, and but recently an attached and be-
loved sister. These trials were borne with
Christian humility and resignation not
unworthy of the Episcopal Communion to
which she belonged. She was the imper-
sonation Of maternal love, and to her five
infant children her loss is irreparable. To-
wards her husband, her loving devotions
found expression i'll every act, and word.
and look; to him her death is calamity
and sorrow profound and inexpressible
Beloved in all the relations of life, she has
been torn from her family, Of which she
was the ornament and pride; and her sor-
rowing relations and kindred find consola-
ton only ii the remembrance of her vir-
tues and in the reelection that she has
been translated to u brighter and happier
sphere. CO."

SANTA ANNA The New York He
rail- says that Count Nostity, who
served for some time in our own war
on the Union side, has just returned
to the United States, from Mexico,
by way OF Havana, and had an inter
view with Santa Anna. Count Nos
tity represents the chances for Santa
Anna as favorable, since most of the
lower class of the people of Mexico
are opposed both to Juarez and the
Empire, being fomented thereto by
the emissaries of other chiefs. Fur
thermore, we are told that an offer
will be made to Santa Anna to-day
or at least at his Office, No. 54 Beaver
street-to furnish him 10000 Enfield
rifles at $40 apiece.

The Louisville Journal corrects an
erroneous impression that prevails in
the minds Of many persons who speak
and write as if the Congressional
elections occurring this fall would
affect the character Of the Congress
that meets in December The only
influence their elections can have
upon that body is a moral influence.
The same members that composed
the last session of Congress will. con
stitute the next, except in those cases
where vacancies have occurred and
been filled by special elections The
persons elected this fall to Congress
will not have seats in tho present
Congress the exception Just
mentioned. The political complexion
Of the next session will be, therefore,
the same as that of the last session.

GRANT AND THE AMENDMENT. The
Philadelphia Press, of Thursday
morning, says that Hon. John l..
Thomas, representative in Con
grcss from the Second Maryland Dis
trlct, and a candidate for reelection,
had Il recent conversation with. Gen.
Grant, i'll New York, in which the
latter explicitly and voluntarily took
ground in favor of the constitutional
amendment. and declared that it
would be fatal to the South if they
refused to adopt it. In all the
speeches of Mr.. Thomas, he gives
the particulars of this conversation,
In which the General gave him this
unqualified assurance.
The Baltimore american, friend
and neighbor Of Mr. Thomas, pub
hshci the above from Forney's lying
Press, but does not endorse it. 1t
wishes the falsehood to be believed,
but breads exposure, doubtless.

THE MEXICAN MuDDIE-A sDecia1

The MEXICAN MUDDLE.-A special
to the New York Herald, of the 25th,
says;
1t is beyond doubt that the pre-
eminent question before the Cabinet
IS the Mexican one, but it is not true
that the Government has come to o
final decision on all the great and
main points involved. The only
point which has been decided is that
the Government will not take any
territory from Mexico This your
correspondent knows to be q fact.
Mr.. Campbell knows very little at
present about tue ulterior policy 10
be pursued in the Mexican matter.
This IS partly due to the sickness
which has attacked him since his
arrival i'll Washington. 1t is true, he
has received instructions, but they
are only general ones. The special
instructions, those Of vital impor-
tance, he has yet to get.
There is sufficieet official informa-
ton here to prove that the despatch
on Mexican affairs dated New Or
leans, October "a, was not based on
facts. Trevina, one Of Escobedo's
generals, went to Zacatecas, and not
to San Luis Potosi, to look after
Meiia. There could not have been a
severe battle near Saltillo to defeat
the Liberals, as per very latest and
reliable accounts there were no Impe-
rial Mexican or French forces within
striking distance. On the 24th ult.,
Juarez wrote that Durango would
soon be occupied, and that he would
establish his headquarters there or at
Monterey.

Temporarily Quiet.
. despatch to the World says:

tive rs ever. The radicals claim to
have over 1000 men armed and in
readiness, to which may be added
the entire regular police force of the
city, and an extra force who still
hold the commission issued to them
before the late municipal election
The radicals generally have not re
treated step from Tie position they
have assumed, and are more fully
prepared to resist the Governor of
Maryland now than they we're five
days ago. The Police Commissioners
will not appear on Friday at the hear
ing before the Governor, neither in
person nor by counsel. They are de-
termined that it shall be IN e.r a,ctrte
hearing
AS there are over one hundred af1i-
davits to be considered, it is not be-
lieved the Governor will render Il de-
cision before Monday night In the
event of his decision being against
the Commissioners, the latter will
not vacate their offices except BY
force. In this way, they hope to put
the responsibility of collision on
the Executive of the State. General
Candy, commanding this depart
ment, has Informed the local author
tiles that if the Governor calls on
the President and states that he is
unable to suppress the insurrection
in the State, Federal forces will be
most certainly employed. Some of
the radicals are facilitating them
selves tonight that they have over
awed the Governor, and that, as Il
consequence, q collision will not be
precipitated No public meetings
have been held tonight, but the "a
dical armed organization is perfect
Governor Swami remains at Anna

that the condition of affairs here had

suit was communicated to him, and
is rs above stated.

cerned.
The QUESTION OF MoRAl.s.-We do
do not believe that it is well to insti-
tute comparisons, or to boast the mo-
rality Of one section Of the country
against the immoralities Of another
section. But the radicals make it the
constant theme of their reproach
against the South, that the people
here are given up to iniquities of the
grossest kind. In view of this fact,
the Boston Commercial says it may be
well to inquire how it happens, if
society is SO impure there, that New
Orleans is obliged to send to the North
for inmates to supply the maoisons de
.joie of that city. The Boston Recorder,
speaking of the loss of the ill-fated
Evening Star, says: s"The worst part
of the freight was ninety-six bad girls,
with five persons who had culled them
out Of the gaudiest dens Of New
York, topromote vice in New Orleans
Perhaps never were such a cofile and
a circus company and m opera troupe
embarked together over the same keel
before tits strange circumstance,
that "the most moral section Of the
country furnishes supplies of this
sort to ''thc most immoral section. "

OUTRAGEs BY FREEDMEN -Welearn
that most daring attempt was made
to burn out Mr.. Benjamin Clements
on Thursday morning of last week
just before daylight; but being
aroused by the barking Of dog, Nr.
Clements succeeded in putting out
the fires and arresting one of the in
ccndiaries before good daylight. The
negro arrested implicated mother,
who had passed most OF the night
with him, and promised Mr.. G. that,
ii he would release him, he would
have the other, who is noted vii
lain, in the neighborhood the next
night. SO that he could be taken.
Nothing has been heard from them
since, but, as they are we'll known
characters, they will be caught, if
they remain in the District.
ANOTHER. On Tuesday morning
last, between midnight and daylight,
two negroes went to the residence of
an old gentleman, named Allan Dow
ling, twelve miles from here, and
obtained admittancc to the house,
chokcd the old man until senselcss,
and then robbed him. We learn that
Mr.. Bowling has partially recovered
his senses, but does not know the
negroes. He says they knocked first
and he opened the door, when they
choked him until he remembered no
