Mexico and Money Making.

From the N. Y Herald of today.
The letter of General Miramon to the Emperor
Macmillan, published In Saturdays Herald, in
which that reactionarv chief threatened to re-
sign his command If MARQUEE was appointed
Generalin-Chief of the Imperial army, is curious
in historical point of view. When the inside
history of the siege of Queretaro comes to be
written, as it was the wish of the Inflated Max
it should be, many such facts and others still
more singular, win be brought to light.
The papers which fell into the hands
the surrender of Queretaro might open
up not few quaint pages of Mexican intrigue.
1t Will be found that Miramon did not stop at
threatening to resign If MARQUEE was placed
over his head. but exacted from the unhappy
Max as the price of his continued adherence
to the Imperial cause, heavy pecuniary boud,
payable on the successful ending OF the cam
paign. 1t will be found that Marquee, when he
was sent to Mexico for reinforcements, attempted
TO play the role of Emperor for himself.
IL will be found that Miramon kept spies on
Macmillan, and intercepted his dispatches to
MARQUEE; that Macmillan suspected Mlramon,
and kept Arellano, Miramons right-hand man,
always at his side, prepared TO seize HIM as q
hostage on the first outbreak OF the anticipated
treachery; In short i IT wall be found a. that nl the
where every one had every one else by the
throat, and none dared to let go his hold lest he
himself should be seized, was enacted IN painful
earnest during the last days Oh tne empire.

TRIAL OF JOHN Il. SURRATT.

WASHINGTON, July 29-The trial of John II. surratt
was resumed this morning in the Criminal Court
Judge Fisher presiding. The attendance was small.
much smaller than usual owing in part the with
drawal OF the old passes and the limitation TO the
ISSUING o new ones ana IN part to the rain which fell
Among the auditors, however were several ladies
who have been regular attendants since the beginning
OF the trial Mrs, Ann S. Stephens, the authoress oc-
cupied her accustomed seat within the bar She seems
said proposes one day TO weave the facts and details
into a story.
Mr.. Darlington resumed the floor and continued
this address TO the jury and discussed the Question of
TACT submitted on Saturday, In regard to the first
fact, whether the act charged committed about
the time therein stated, and within the Jurisdiction
OF this court he had but little to say for the evidence
upon that point was clear and explicit. And as to
Booth,s entering the Presidents box which had been
carefully prepared for his ingress beforehand and
representative of this nation the President bo hts
head and dies he had lived, with no expression OF
malice to any one. When did such a crime as this
ever before occur? Is 1t necessary to call up this
scene, which can never be forgotten by American
citizens?
The graphically described by our Iown
citizen, Colonel Stewart and II he had held Booth in
herculean grasp the assassins blood would never had
stained the soil OF Virginia. The testimony of DIR.
Barnes could not but satisfy the jury that the Presi
dents death ensued the result of the shooting by
Booth, and this settles the second propositions that
the wound the deceased received caus ed his death.
The third proposition Is does IL appear at the as
saut and death were the result Of a conspiracy of
is the great question: for IL 1t appears that the death
was the result OF conspiracy, no matter for what
purposes that conspiracy was formed, then was It
murder, and God grant that the day will never come
when an American or English Judge will ever dec de
that such act is not murder

Higgins saw three bodies floating, but succeeded
In getting only one Of them, and this he accom-
plished at the risk of his own life. Neither he
nor we could anchor In water of such depth,
and our boats were rapidly drifting on an ugly
lee shore. We saw nothing of the wreck but an
old box. Miss Blake, of Framingham, the only
person saved, had clutched an oar and was alive
when taken IN, aud was brought into the harbor
in good condition. Miss Blake was most tenderly
cared for at Roberts Hotel by the good and kind
ladies temporarily residing there, and is dong
very well, indeed. In the hands of such women
as Mrs. Judge Chapman, of Springfield, she will
want for no attention that Is requisite to her
comfort and recovery. The disaster, as you will
readily conceive, carried dismay to the hearts of
all the guests here; but alas alas! TO be so near
such unspeakabe distress as we were, to witness
such an appalling scene, and at the same time to
be utterly unable to give the slightest assistance!
