The Presidents Proclamation.

The proclamation of President johnson,
declaring Maximilian's DEGREES null and
void and made in violation of the law of
nations, is destined to have no little inhu-
ence on the future of the "Austrian ad-
venturer," and will probably cause him to
hasten up the settlement Of his affairs and
make his contemplated flight to Europe a
little quicker than he intended. The
words of the proclamation recognizes him
as one who "asserts himself to be the EN-
peror of Mexicow and speaks of the
treaties existing between the United States
of America and the United States of Mex
ico' as being still of binding force. There
is also a peculiar significance in the last
sentence Of the body of the proclamation,
that any attempt which shall be made to
enforce the same against the government
or citizens of the United States wiU be DIS
allowed." The President clearly init
mates that he is prepared 10 enforce the
position which he has taken if events
should make it necessary for him to do so,
and the presence of a large military force
at Brownsville, just across the river, un-
der the command of Gen. Sheridan, is
enough to guarantee the success of our
arms should it become necessary for this
governmental maintain the position which
it has taken. 4-S a
The port Of Matamoras, lying on the
Rio Grande, opposite Brownsville, has
long been in the hands of the Liberal par
ty. 1t is one of the principal ports of
Mexico in communication with the United
States. Under the immediate presence
of our troops stationed there, the authori-
ty of Macmillan has long since ceased to
be recognized, and the decree of Maximil-
ian was merely gratuitous assertion of
power which he did not possess. This
proclamation of the President will now
bring things to crisis.

Another Philadelphia Convention.

A convention known as the Southern
Unionists' Convention has been called to
assemble at Philadelphia on the Sd of
September next. The object Of the con-
vention is to present the views Of the men
composing it to the country on the sub
ject of restoration and reconstruction. 1t
is to be composed of men who remained
true to the government during the war
waged by. Davis and his followers, and
consequently suffered loss of property,
and position in the communities where
they resided.

LAW CASE ExrRAoRpINARY.-A sim

LAW CASE ExTRAoRDINARY.-A sim
gular case came off in the police court at
La Crosse, Wis, few days since. 1t APP
pears that two young gentlemen had long
been counting young lady, each striving
to gain her consent to marriage. One
evening when all three were sitting to-
gether. a dispute arose about the shortest
distance to North La Crosse. They re-
ferred the matter to the girl, who laugh
ingly replied that the best way to decide
was to walk there and back, each by his
route, when they could decide which was
the quickest, and as there was but little
difference in the distance, she could know
which was the smartest man. And she
playfully said, GO, noble knights, aud he
who first returns shall claim my hand in
marriage p Both men started, one actu-
ally making the required distance after a
forty minutes walk in hot night, and the
other simply stepping round the corner
and then returning for cosy chat with
the girl. When the former returned,
some hard words ensued, and he told the
girl TO 60 to--a hotter place than La
Crosse-and left the house. He brought
suit against the girl 10 recover pay for
bill of goods which he had presented her
while sparkling her, viz: For gold ring
fancy fan. white kids and confectionery
amounting to $3.50. At the trial the
young lady presented cross bill, for ker'
essence oil, rent of parlor for "sparking,
and confectionery, Sl3.75. After rath
err amusing trial the Court gave verdic
of 25 cents and costs against the plaintiff
the costs amounting to Sl3.622.

A FACT WORTH PRINrINo.-At a
second class hotel, in Frankfort, KY, a
few days since, little girl entered the
bar-room, and in pitiful tones told the bar
keeper that her mother sent her there to
get eight cents.
Eight cents p said the bar.keeper.
Yes, sir"
"What does your mother want Of eight
cents don't owe her anything"
"Well," said the child, father spends
all his money here for rum, and we have
no bread to-day. Mother wants TO buy a
loaf of bread"
A loafer suggested to the bar-keeper to
kick her out.
" No." said the bar-keeper, "Pll give
her mother the money, and if her father
comes back here again I'll kick him out
Such circumstance never happened
before, and may never happen again.
Humanity owes that bar-keeper a vote O
thanks.

RATHER OMINoUs.-An amusing incl
dent occurred in Newport KY, at the
Democratic meeting at Washington Hall,
on Friday night. Some one in the crowd
called for the band TO play Rally Round
the Flag, Boys" in which this line oc-
ours :
"Down with the traitors, up with the Flag"
The request was complied with, but the
band had not performed more than one
fourth of the air when down came the
platform on which the speakers and COM
mttee of arrangements were seated. The
shouts of laughter that went up from the
Union portion of the crowd were perfect
ty deafening.

PENNsYLvANIA.-In Pennsylvania the
canvass is frightening. The country looks
to Pennsylvania with more than ordinary
interest. Gen. Geary has an easy caudi-
date to beat in Mr.. Clymer, but the State
is not so easy TO carry. The succession
to Mr.. Cowan which will be decided by
this election adds personal zest TO the
canvass. Whoever is elected must be
free from any suspicion of the treason
which made Mr.. Cowan, the chosen Sen.
ator of the Republican party, act from
the first with the enemies of the country
Pennsylvania cannot afford to have hel
influence negatived by his reelection OIL
by the choice of man whose record j,
open to suspicion.

A CROOKED MISUNDERSTANDING of the
Rio Grande, writer says
" Imagine four of the crookedest things
in the world, then imagine four more
twice as crooked, and fancy to yourself a
large river three times as crooked as all
these put together, and you have faint
idea of the crooked disposition of this
crooked river. There is no drift in it.
from the fact that it is so crooked that
timber can't find its wsy far enough down
to lodge two sticks together; but few
snakes, because it is not straight enough
to swim in, and fish are in the whirlpool,
in the bends, because they can't find their
way out. Birds frequently attempt to fly
across the river and light on the same
side they start from, being deceived by
the different crooks Indeed, you NAV
be deceived when you think YOU are
across it; and some of the boys say it is
so twisting, there is but one side to it,

TIE FREEDMEN IN SourH CAROL

THE FREEDMEN IN SoUTH CARROLL
NA.-The Assistant Commissioner of
Freedmen's Affairs in South Carolina, in
his dispatches to the Chief of the Bureau,
says: There are a good many vagrant
freedmen in the District of Columbia, and
there seems to be a disposition to avoid
work and violate contracts among them.
The outrages committed by this class of
freedmen are numerous. There are also
great numbers of idle whites in the dis
trict, who are generally responsible for the
outrages committed upon the freedmen,
and in case of violence charged 10 the
freedmen, he has usually found white
man at the bottom. A disposition has
been manifested, he says, among num-
Der Of the planters, who are evidently dis
posed TO take advantage of the freedmen
by driving them away from the planta-
atoms on frivolous charges about the time
when the crops are matured and ready for
gathering, thus securing TO themselves the
share that would otherwise fall to the
freedmen. He states that the officer who
now fills the position of Provost Marshal
before whom these cases must be adjusted
also occupies the position of post adjutant
and commands a company, which prevents
his giving as much attention TO these mat
tiers as they require. He recommend
that, instead Of provost court, freed
mems court be established. by which mean
Justice can be speedily secured.
