Reports about MaxiniIian-A Serious
Charge-NO Intervention Wanted.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec 15.-The Times
City of Mexico correspondence of the 29th
nit, says Macmillan never intended leaY-
ing, and only went to Orizaba for his health.
He was then at Puebla, and all classes of
Mexieans are preparing to support him
when the French troops leave
WARRINGTON, Dec l6.-Private adviees
received in this city state that Macmillan
will not accept the proposition to retain his
power in Mexico. He will only stay long
enough to make show of passing the gov
eminent over TO other hands, and leave the
country under formal siipulations
Ten thousand French troops have left
that country and fifteen thousand remain to
embark during the winter and spring.
There is good authority for saying that fear
of sickness in the Mexican seaport towns
alone induced Napoleon TO postpone the
shipment of troops until the winter months
II is also denied that there was ever any
agreement with this government that the
troops should be removed at a specified
time. It was only the voluntary declara-
ton on the part Of France of her intention
dllu puIp OSc W EtCdli ncI bEobpes any
agreement in relation thereto was with
Macmillan, and not with the United
States.
New YoEK, Dee 16.-The Patria, of the
City Of Mexico, makes serious charges
against the New York postoffice 1t as
serts that certain official documents which
left that city on September %, and subse-
quently printed in the New York papers,
were procured through the New York office
by dishonest means, and were not captured
on Mexican soil, as represented BY the
journals which gave them publicity. 1t ar
rives at these conclusions after the matter
has been officially investigated.
A letter from Chihuahua says the Libe-
rails Of Mexico have no desire for the United
States to assume a protectorate over that
country, and any attempt TO introduce
armed bodies would be strongly opposed BY
the Juarez government

THE NORTH CAROLINA PROJECT.
The Radicals at Washington, and plot.
ting politicians Of doubtful reputation
from several Of the States iHyolved ia the
late rebellion, are belaboring their brains
about reeonstructing States. The former
intend to use their Congressional authority
TO exact terms that will enure to party
advantage, and the latter-Louisiana and
North Caroline beng fully represented
in this CLASSIFY chafering and dickering
around committees and influential Radi-
Gals, hope to get their States so hampered
with conditions that they may get the
Offices The last project is from North
Carolina scheme of Il set in that State
who claim to have been peace men during
the war--and was introduced the other
day into Congress Its leading feature
sets aside the present government, and
proposes to substitute one having for its
basis these aforesaid peace men, and
every timeseryer in the State who
via swear to a sort of piebald loyalty
that they were never hot nor cold, but
fit only to be spewed out Of every honest,
earnest mans mouth; and that they will,
in the future be complaisant to the de-
mands of the Radical party Altogether
It is a contemplate eontriyance, having
no foundation in principle, and no claim
to the support Of any one but those in
terested in furthering their individual
interests. We do not believe the ultra
Radicals have any respect for it, aud
trust they will smother it promptly. As
for genuine Conservatives who look to the
constitution IA guide in this matter
and clearly see the simple, straight, true
path as marked out by the President,
they cannot have anything to do with q
proposition so repugnant to every princi-
pie Of republican liberty They cannot
tolerate test-oaths of any kind as foun,
dation for free government, aud will re
| iect it without doubt

W. SPENCE,
JOHN NORMAN,
w. ELLIOTT,

Yet referring to the visit of the CONS
mittee, the Memphis Commercial and
Argus. of Friday morning. the l4th inst
states positively stalf
They arrived, bearing two drafts from
Mr. Stanford, the State Treasurer, one call
ing for $31S, $50, and the other for $500, 600,
payable at sight The money was paid at
the counter, and the committee yesterday
returned 10 Nashville"
The demand seems to have been for the
whole amount in two checks, drawn by
the Treasurer, neither Of which CORES
pended in amount reported to have been
received Is the statement Of the Argus
correct? The Radical organ of yester-
day states an entirely new fact, tO-wit
" The 81 per eeat premium on the amount
restored was promptly paid What pre-
MUM was this to whose benefit does it
accrue2 and is there any more to Gomez
Solar as thepubhc have been informed,
il appears that the original investment
was S6lS, ESQ in U. 5 1870 bonds. The
accumulated interest on these was about
$4,000 or $4,000 In addition to this,
which was all deposited in the Memphis
Bank, there was about $4,000 of the
State funds proper deposited in the same
institution, making an aggregate ofabout
100000 Of this sum about $4,000,
or about one~half, has been drawn.
Ii may be all secure, bat the sugges-
ton Of premiums, the summary report Of
the committee, the apparently studied
suppression Of details, and the large out
standing balance, altogether, give rise to
the inquiries suggested, and continue the
apprehensions always resulting from IN
certainty or insufficient information in
pecuniary transactions

WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE Su-
preme Court this morning delivered its
final opinion in the Indial so-called conspi-
racy cases, in which Judge Mulligan,
BOWles, and Horsey were sentenced to

cision is against the legality of military

rule Of the court excluding reporters was
enforced.
The vote Of the House, refusing to stop
Mr.. MeCulloch's withdrawal of the cur
rency, at the rate Of 4,000, 900 a month, Is
regarded as very significant Of the feeling
in Congress in favor Of contraction.
