returned to Mexico, but was still at Orizaba.
The opinions of press and people respect
ing the Emperor's, late proclamation are
conflicting. The Estafette says that Maxi
milan no longer addresses his countrymen
as Emperor, but as simple citizen, and
considers his proclamation as a semi-abdi-
cation. t.. ...
The Era considers the project mentioned
in the proclamation as feasible, and that it
has the stamp of loyalty. The Patrie, on
the same subject, considers the resolution
of the Emperor as having diffuSed general
content.

The Civil Rights Bill in Maryland.
BALTIMORE, Dec. Bit is generally un-
derstood that some action will be taken
shortly in the United States District Court
in reference to the alleged disregard of the
civil rights bill by Judge Maeruder, Of
Anne Arundel county, in sentencing
negroes convicted of larceny to be
sold in accordance with provisions of
the Maryland code. provision which
has been repealed since Maryland
became free State. The law authorizing
the sale of negroes as punishment is in
direct conflict with the Civil Bights bill,
which makes infliction of any punishment
of the blacks other than that prescribed
for whites convicted of the same crime,
punishable by fine and imprisonment. The
matter is attracting considerable attention,
! and there is much speculation as to the
course likely to be pursued.
