THE New York Journal ofMinius says:
"Nothing is more evident to the candid
and well informed man, than that it is
the extreme of impolicy TO tax the men
who develop the esource of this coun-
try, BY a levy upon the mines or their
proceeds. Such a system of taxation is
suicidal in a Nation or State" Old
Blaze, called a special session for no
other purpose than to impose a heavy
tax upon mine proceeds.

WENDELL PHILLIPS grows anxious
about the next Presidency. For the
present he thinks Mr.. Johnson can be
trusted to keep the country in hot water
and prevent the restoration of harmony,
which Mr.. Phillips considers the worst
thing that can happen; and he has some
hope that the President will so exaspcr-
ate Congress that he will either be i'm
peached or wholly crippled in his ESccu-
tive power, though he (Phillips) does
not count much on the virtue or intelli-
gence of Congress. But Mr.. Phillips
sees no desirable prospect ahead unless
we have q Radical, not a Republican,
for the next President. He fears the
country is drifting to the Presidency OF
Gen. Grant, and cries out: /" Astound-
ing madness! Republicans tell us they
must nominate Grant, else the Demo-
Gratis will! In these hours when the
nation agonizes for existence, we take a
man for our leader so lacking in princi-
Pile that he will suit either party equally
we'll! Two armies in deadly fight, one
deliberately chooses for its leader such
a perfect Swiss that the other will clutch
him if the first does not!'

ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.

We yesterday had the pleasure OF q
call from DR.. Hayes, of the United States
Army, now OH his route to Fort Scott,
Humboldt county, where he will remain
for a year. The Doctor has spent con-
siderable time in the army in Arizona
and New Mexico. His account Of affairs
in those Territories is very interesting.
He saws that the %barrcnncsS and natural
desolatiou of u greater portion OF those
Territories even surpasses the naked
ness of this land. Potash and soda
abound; limestone and alkali show forth
in their glory on Arizona surfaces. As
he had just como over the mountains by
the Dutch Flat route, he naturally re-
ferred to railroad building; and remark
ed that there WAS u natural road by the
"Southern route" From Los Angeles
TO Fort Yuma, there is but one hill, and
thence east-taking the ourse all
through-there are seven hundred miles
of dead level ground for the railroad
constructor to cavort on. Why the
"proiect" is not pushed on that route
i, indeed a marvel. The social con-
dition of Arizona and New Mexico is OF
the lowest character. The half-breed
Mexicaus are infinitely worse in all
moral estimate, than the Indians. The
Pimos are u superior race, for Indians
They take naturally to all civilizing in.
auences. The Jesuit Fathers have
wrought q great work among them BY
their Christianizing efforts. DR.. Hayes
has great faith in Sam Adams plan fol
navigating the Colorado and tributaries
a distance of not less than l,400 miles,
in this way, the Doctor believes, the
monopolizing tendencies "-we know
them for actualities-of the Central and
Union Pacific Railroad will be partially
checked. Colorado opened" and
railroad through Arizona and New Mex
leo, and this side of the continent vii
take the lead. So think all who know
enough for IL judgment in the premises

MEXICO. Mexican advices to the 22d
ult. state that Escobedo had ordered a
court martial to convene the 29th ult. for
the trial of Maximilian. The dispatches
also furnish us the address of Macmillan
to lis army, in which he is very bitter in
speaking of Napoleon.
Gomez is at Tampico sustaing the cause
of Ortega against Juarez. The forces of
the latter are drawing their lines around the
city and battle is expected.
Advices from Queretaro to the Goth ult,
show that the fate of Macmillan had not
then been determined upon. Mendez was
shot on the 10th ult. Col. Campas was also
executed.
The wife of Prince Salm Salm, who, the
telegraph informs us, is an American lady
closely felated to President johnson, has
proceeded to San Luis and had an interview
with Juarez in behalf of her husband and
the other prisoners. The report further
states that it was thought that her mission
would prove successful, but the whole story
sounds rather sensational.

Impeachment Abandoned.

A dispatch dated Washington, y June 9th,
to the Chicago Times says
''The House Judiciary Committee to day
closed the impeachment investigation, which
was commenced under an order of the house
and in pursuance of charges made by rep
resentative Ashley, of Ohio, in Janu ary
last. After taking nearly 1000 pages of
printed evidence, during session covering
FIVE months, the committee proceeded to
vote on the report which it should make to
the house. The result was as follows: On
the question: Does the evidence warrant
the committee in reporting articles of I'M
parchment the affirmative votes were
Messrs. Boutwell,, Thomas, Lawrence and
Williams f; the negative were, Messrs Will
son, chairman; Woodbridge, Churchill,
Eldridge and Marshall
So the committee decided not to report
in favor of impeachment,
A resolution Of censure was then present
ed, to the effect that the evidence produced
before the committee of the official and
other acts of President johnson demonstra-
ted that hs was unworthy Of the confidence
and respect of the American people. This
was agreed to by ayes Z; noes 9, as follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Wilson, chairman Church
i'll, Boutwell,, Thomas, Woodbridge and
Lawrence-all republicans. Noes Messrs.
Eldridge and Marshall-both democrats.

Rich Bishops IN A PooR COUNTRY
The oppressive character of t Established

recently published in England of the Bish.

since 1922, and of the assets left by each,
in hard cash, exclusive freal property the

The list begins with the Bishop of Cashel,
who contrived 70 put by $40O,Ooo Three
others died with loose cash exceeding $3.50

on. The average Of the whole was $780,

poorer and poorer since 1922, and pouring

such and overgrown rapacious systenn
of ecclesiastical oppression. Z.

A Voyage to Europe on Life Saving
--sss.s -..,,e. Raft.

[Fron the New York Herald, June g.
The raft Nonpareil is to sail for Europe
on Thursday next, with view to demon
strate the safety and security of floating
structure built on the principle of life
saving apparatus. The Nonpareil is COM
posed of three parallel air cylinders, shaped
like cigars, which form what in vessel
would be called hull. These cylinders
are twenty-five feet long and twenty-six
inches In diameter, being composed Of gut
ia percha, encased in Russia duck, the out
er casing being less in circumference than
the inside air chamber, and thus receiving
the greatest strain. 1t is to be sailed by
Captain John Mikes, Ian officer mentioned
honorably in the Herald upon the occasion
last fall of disaster to the Santiago de
Cuba, and George Miller and Henry Law
son, seamer, who have faith in her buoy
ant power, having seen it tested or the
| coast in such a manner that they regard a
trip across the ocean as a possibly agreeable
incident, but entirely without danger
| They will carry mostly canned provisions,
although a cooking apparatus is on board,
but is not likely to be in condition for use
except in fair weather. The raft is at pres
ent, with view to its trans Atlantic trip
schooner rugged, being in addition provided
with two centre boards for better security
ina heavy sea, although it is said to be a
matter of impossibility to either upset or
swamp it. The raft carries twelve india
rubber water casks, six strapped on each
side,, which, if necessary are able to do
duty as life preservers, being of buoyant
capacity, sufficient, it is claimed, to float
nine men each. The Nonpareil is not a
new invention, RATS Of similar construction
of course without the extra rigging that
has been set up for the ocean trip-being
in practical use as matter of security on
board several vessels belonging to our steam
ship lines and the monitor Miantonomah
Packed for conveyance, the air being ex-
hausted from the chambers that compose
the hull, the raft occupies space of about
twelve and half feet lengthwise, with
sixty inches Of circumference Capt
Mikes intends starting about noon on Tues
| day next.

How Maximllian was Betrayed.
New York. June s

ANcW oTk, u CuUc ..
The Herolds New Orleans special gives
an account of the fall of Queretaro, as pub
lished by the Ranchero, from which it ap-
pears that Gen. Lopez, who is represented
as bosom friend of Maximillian S, sold out
the entire Imperial concern for. $4s, 900 in
hard cash, and the work Of treachery was
arranged so completely that Maximilian and
his entire force, bag and baggage, were
banded over to Escobedo without hostile
shot being fired. Maximilian, however,
acted his part heroically.
He sent his sword to Escobedo, stipula-
ting that he should not be subjected to in
suit, but awarded the respect due to pris-
oner, and that If anyone must be shot he
should be the first led to execution.
Up to the latest advices no executions had
taken place. Escobedo says that 1900
men surrendered, including Is general Of
eers and 500 offers Of inferior grades.

Livingstone Death and Rurlal.
The following extract Of letter, dated
Johanna, February %, received by the late
mail in England, appears to plce the tate
Of DR.. LIvINasroNE beyond doubt.
"You have" the writer says, heard,
long before you get this, that DR.. Living
stone was killed. The johanna men whom
engaged last March to accompany Dr.
Livingstone into Africa arrived at Zanzibar
last December, and were sent here by the
consul. / have received an account OF their
journey and of the attack of the savages
on the doctors party, in which he was
killed. The only witness of his death sta
tes that about noon they were travelling
over a large plain; the doctor and nine
Africans were ahead. Suddenly he heard
the Africans cry out, "Mayela." He ran
on, and saw a, number OF men fushisg en-
the doctor and Africans. Three made for
the doctor, who shot two, but was cut dowa
himself by the third.
Moosa, the narrator of the SAD event
fred his gun and ran back to his country-
men, and they escaped into the grass and
bushes. At dusk they returned to the spot
where Livingstone was attacked, and found
his body, the body of the two Mayelas
whom he shot, also the bodies Of four of
the Africans. They buried the doctor, and
set off as fast as they could 60 on the;r.re-
turn to the coast, and after escaping two OF
three times from bands of Mayelas reached
Kulloa, on the coast.
