Authentic intelligence, it is said, has
been received going to show that the
French forces to be Withdrawn from Mex
leo are to be replaced by volunteers raised
and equipped on French soil, and which
arc to be known as the Army of Mexico.
In this way Louis Napoleon hopes to
maintain foothold in the country, and
ahere is now no doubt but that he will 90
so, unless the Administration exhibits
more back bone upon this subject than it
has heretofore done.

The Crima of Braine.

The case of Braine, the Rebel pirate,
who, during the war, together with others,
seized the steamer Chesapeake, is now be-
fore the United States District Court for
the Eastern District Of New York. This
person has rested his defense, for the acts
ofwhichhc was guilty, upon the production
ola Confederate commission. The udge in
his charge to the Grand Jury, gives in
struction that such commission will not
be protection to any offender who is
guilty Of robbery and murder upon the
high seas. Ia time of war 4 commission
issued By nation, recognized as such,
will be protection, but the United States
never recognized the Confederacy as a na-
ton, and during the whole contest de-
clared that the Confederates were our own
insurgent citizens. a commission, there
fore, from parties engaged in the insur.
rection, could not be adjudged to be law
ful authority for hostile acts. Under
these circumstances it is likely that Braine
will be indicted, and if the evidence is as
strong as reported he will be convicted.
What is then to be done with him will
be question for the Government to de.
termine. The act Of Braine might be
borne with if it had been done in an open
manly way, but it was accompanied by
such circumstances Of sneaking fraud in
the conduct Of himself and companions
who went on board the steamer in the
guise Of peaceful passengers. Fairness
and regard to the laws Of war would
justify decision that such acts of fraud.
ulcut seizure would be piracy, even if ac
compished by the officer Of recognized
nation, acting under the authority of Q
lawful commission.

The Result.

The result Of the election in Pennsyl- !
vania, cannot but prove gratifying to ev-
cry man, whose soul is not wrapped up in
the sinking carcass of the dcIunct de-
mocracy Notwithstanding the efforts Of
the administration to cheat the people, BY
means of subsidized presses and Office
holders, operating through federal patron
age which was placed in their hands for
an entirely different purpose, we have car
ried John w. Gcary, for Governor, by
over 1900 majority; we have gained
two staunch Republican members in the
Congressional delegation, and would have
had the third but for the frauds and for
geries perpetrated in the Luzerne District;
and We have carried both branches of the
Legislature so overwhelmingly, that the
democracy discuss the United States SEN
atorship on that side alone which is sure
to carry a good man into the position. =
Edgar CoWan they look upon as buried
deep in the pit of forgetfulness, and the
only question with them is = Will it be
Cameron? will it be Forney? or will it
be somebody else? Never mind gentle
men. The United States Senator will be
a good Republican and, you may depend
upon it, an honest and capable man =
one whose election to and conduct in the
Senate will prove an honor to the good
old Commonwealth.

improvements.

The Improvements noted some tine
since, as ia progress in our borough, are
rapidly approaching completion. Since
our last mention Of these much needed
additions to the capacity Of our borough,
for the accommodation of its rapidly in
crcasing Population and business, We no
tice that others have taken on the
burden of enterprise, and have gone to
work in good earnest.
Among others we may mention the new
brick store house erected by the Strouls-
burg Mills, on the rear Of the lot on which
the Factory building stands. This build
ing is two stories high, and is possessed
Of ample capacity to hold in safety the
manufactures of months, if that becomes
necessary. Should the present demand
for the goods of the Mills continue, the
room will not be needed.
Mr. Philip Miller, has now in course ol
erection, and far towards cont mpletion, a
large frame building, which he designs
for manufactory of cabinet-ware on a
large scale. The establishment VIC learn
will be supplied with steam engine ol
eight-horse power, turning lathes, saws
planning machine, mortieiug and tenonine
machine, and all the appliances of first
class shop. The machinery will all be oi
the most approved kinds.
Mr. -- DFeher, has the frame uE
for new dwelling house, on Sarah street
above Franklin, which, we learn, Will be
finished as rapidly as possible.

Horrible Death.

Mr Robert Walker and his wife, rid.
ing in wagon with two seats, were cross
ing railroad track in Detroit, Mich, on
Friday last, when the gentleman, who sat
on the front seat driving, while the lady
set behind him, suddenly discovered that
train Of cars was rapidly approaching.
He whipped his horses aud they sprang
quickly forward. This unexpected move
ment threw Mrs. Walker out Of the wa.
gon. She fell upon the planks between
the rails which serve to enable teams to
pass. and in an instant after the train was
grinding her body almost to jelly. The
remains of the unfortunate victim were
found beside the track, the entire train
having passed over them. They were a
shapeless mass.

a NeH Gnnnarhnad Organ

y rumor comes to US from Pike county
to the effect that the press and material
Of the late E" Northern Eagle" have been
purchased by an association of Copper
head politicians of this borough for the
purpose of establishing a new organ for
the democracy" of Monroe county, in
place of the present old, efete, worn out,
and used up machine, which viii now,
doubtless, together with its jis- dicial head,
be laid on the shelf, or sold to the'highest
bidder as old copper. While we cannot
fail to recognize in this movement the
implied compliment to our own press, and
the implied admission of the copperhead
leaders Of the inability of their oil organ
to longer maintain the contest with US in
the political arena, yet we cannot but con,
slider it exceedingly unkind in them to so
unceremoniously throw overheard our old
friend the Squire, and that, too, just in
the hour of his triumph, when he was 20
complacently alrinS his newly acquired
judicial horors.
But such is life, Squire, (ercuse us,
judye,) and we would commend to your
careful perusal the lines of Tom. Moore,
beginning
"Ail that's bright must fide.'
We can assure the schemers on the 9th
cr side, however, that the coptemplatcd
dodge won't DO. We have used up the
- Monroe Democrat" and we shall just
as surely use up the new conner by what
ever name it may be christened. Our
steed is good one, and our lance is couch.
ed ready, in the future as in the past, to
meet IN equal combat any or all who may
enter the lists against US.
