The execution of Maximilian Of
Hapsburg, the so-called Emperor Of
Mexico, was an event which naturally
arrested attention and elected comment
throughout tho civilized world. It is
now an historical fact, since the Z event

The attempt to found a foreign dy-
nasty in Mexico, was an effort Of the
monarchs Of the Old World to break
up Republican government on this: con-
tinent, and subject its people: to the
dominant asceudancyof Europeaninau-
enee. Tho period chosen forethisior CRU

Gen. Howard in Memphis.

Gen. Howard, one Of the excursion

his presence in Memphis :.rnrtrr
1--WE spent Christmas night at Memphis,
and as / must hasten on l will quote
from my official record Of the state OF
things here, and on ill We reach New
Orleans.
"The city Of Memphis is now well gov
ernsd, and the majority Of the colored
people in good condition. A few cases
Of crime against freedmen occurred dur
ing the holidays, but Brownlov's police
promptly arrested the offenders and pre-
served good order At this point, great
number Of cases Of deirauding the ne
groes Of their wages came before the
agents Of the bureau, from the western
part Of the State and Arkansas The
recent murder Of q negro in Obion
county, one in Fayette county, for which
no arrests had been made. The schools
here we're well established, with fair ac-
commOdati0n The orphan asylum IN
the care Of Mrs. Caul6eid, was well 10.
Gated and in good condition. In The
suburbs Of the city, was quite a collec

obtained scauty Subsistence By irregu
lar Jobs in and about the city aud aloul

riot seems TO have passed away, and

THE ImpEAcHMENr COMMITTEE.

The committee of Congress, whose
business it is TO hunt up testimony upon
which to impeach President johnson,
have reassembled atWashington and gone
to work. The only measure of any i'm
portance before the fortieth Congress,
except confiscation, is that Of impeach-
ment Congress- though physically ad-
iourned, is practically sitting in this
committe. In addition, the Radi'
cal electioneering committee, composed
of Schenck, Kelley, and others equally
malicious and incorporating, are busy
as bees. Taken together, they stand SEN
tinel while the grand army sleep. The
Impeachment Committee are engaged IN
A kind of work that all decent men would
shrink from. The population of Wash
ington, through the heats OF sum
mer and under the burning moons
of the dog days, will come to de-
test them, Their presence will be-
come a subject for the sport and ridi-
-cule OF boys, and even the freedmen will
become disgusted with the sight OF them.
If President johnson has violated the
Constitution, the act should be public,
so notorious as to render investigation
unnecessary. If he has administered
his department corruptly, the evidence OF
il should be something more than suspi-
cion. The fact that standing COM
mittee are to work all the summer to
discover the crimes of the Presi-
dent, is proof to the public that
they are playing the role OF attorneys
retained to make out case. Whether
founded on fact or fiction, it is no mat
ter. A case is to be made out. To ac-
eomplish this, search is to be made,
not only intothe public conduct, but into
the private affairs of the victim. Lest
the country should become Indifferent to
the subject, a dozen Jabobin newspaper
correspondents are to be on hand to
scatter the testimony abroad, and hound
ON the satanic work. We have never
read of anything so utterly mean as this
proceeding. Night and day the Presi'
dent of the Republic is to be watched
and his whole conduct subjected to sys-
TEN of espionage that savages would be
ashamed to practice. If TIE sentiment
of disgust is not unknown in the North,
the whole people cannot look upon the
proceedings of this impeachment COM
mittee without feeling an inclination to
hold their noses.

in conflict with the statutes in that re
