Breaking on the Wheel.

Here is a short, clear description OF
the barbarous execution OF criminal

feet high, with wheel, something like
a fore coach wheel, at each corner. but

they assisted in placing him on two pieces

Universal Suffrage in the District

The election yesterday. December 80.
upon negro suffrage, held at G georgetown.
IN this District, indicates even more
unanimous results than that held some
days since in Washington CITY. Seven
hundred and thirteen votes were cast
out of which but one was in favor of the
establishments of negro suffrage -TChi.

To this the Chicago Tribune makes
the following pithy and caustic renlv:
Georgcto~ sent $50 white volunteers
to the rebel army to help destroy the
Union. and less than liftv white men 70
the Federal army to fight for the nation
nj cause; but Georgetown furnished 400
colored volunteers who enlisted without
bounty and for $40 per month to do bat

therefore quite natural that the Copper-
heads and returned rebels in Georgetown
should vote solid against extending the
right of suffrage 10 the loyal coiored

Mexican Affairs.

The following Is copy If the pre-
amhle and resolutions on Mexican af-
fairs, introduced into Congress by Gen
Schenck:
WAEREAs, in a letter of Instructions
dated July Sd, 1862. directed to General
Forey, commanding the French forces
in Mexico. the Emperor of the French in
dictated his policy concerning the affairs
of the continent, by declaring that it was
his intention to establish a monarchy in
Mexico (which would restore to the Latin
race on this side of the Atlantic all its
strength and prestige guaranty security
to the French West India colonies. and
those of Spain; secure the interest and
establish the influence of France in the
Center of America. and prevent the
United States from taking possession of
the Gulf of Mexico, from which they
would command the Antilles and South
America, and so become the only dis
penser of the products of the New
World. and whereas, in pursuance of
said policy, an attempt has been made to
establish monarchy i'll Mexico contra
~ to the wishes of its peoples and to
support Macmillan in his usurpation by
European soldiery; and. whereas, among
other acts contrary to the spirit of the
age and of humanity, the SO called Em
peror of Mexico. by decree and repu-
iations dated September 5th. 1868. prac-
tically established slavery in his domin
ions, and by a decree dated October Sd
1860. has violated the usages of civilized
warfare, by denying to the Mexican Re
publican troops the rights of beligerents
and ordering their execution wherever
found. in twenty-four hours after capture
Therefore
BE 1t Resolred by the Senate and House
or Representatives Of the United States .,
Congress assembled l. That we contem-
plate the present condition of affairs in

profound solicitude 2. That the Mt
tempt to subvert one of the republican
Governments of this continent bv for

monarchy sustained solely by Euro
