War RuinOrs.,

MAMMALIAN, the sprig Of lIaps-
burg nobility, who attempted to
usurp the government Of Mexico
from the other military tyrants OF
that country, was shot on the 10Th
ult. "Sic Semper tyranniS," is the
only expression we have for such
men, be they noble or plebian.--
Some Of our people are very sym.
pathetic over the death of Maxim
llian. Let us ask-"Did you SYM
pathize with the thousands of
Americans that he has executed by
his imperial decree Of October,
1862" as follows:
MAXIMILIAN's PROCLAMATION OF OUT
LAWRY.
The following is the substance of
the proclamation of outlawry, is
sued by Maximilian, October Sd,
1866:
Hereafter the contest will only
be between the honorable men of
the nation and the gangs of crimi,
mails and robbers. Uemency aCW
cease mO1c, for it would only profit
the mob who burn villages, rob and
murder peaceful citizens, poor old
men, and defenseless women. The
government, resting on its power
from this day, will be lnheXible in
its punishments.
Having heard our Council of
Ministers and Council of State, we
decree: ArticieJ. All persons be-
longing to armed bands or corps
not legally authorized (by the I'M
perial Government), whether they
proclaim or not any political prir-
ciples, and aohaterer be tile number
ofthose who compose the said bands
their organization, character and
denomination, shall be tried mill
tarily by the courts martial, and if
found guilty they shall be condem-
ned to capital punishment aCithin
tho tacentyJour hours following the
sentence. Article 2. Those who,
belonging to the bands men
toned in the previous Article, shall
be captured with arms in their
hands, shall be tried by the officer
of the force which has captured |
them, who shall within delay
never extending over twenty-four
hours after the said capture, make
a verbal inquest of the ofense,
hearing toe evidence of the prison
er. Of this inquest he will draw
an act closing with the sentence,
which must be capital punishment,
if the accused is found guilty, even
if only of the fact of belonging to
the band. The officer shall have
the sentence executed within twen-
ty'four hours aforesaid, seeing that
the criminal receives spiritual as
sistance. The sentence baving
been executed, the officer shall
forward the act of inquest to the
Minister of War.
In fact, these Mexican govern
ments, so-called, are only the Or
ders of military usurpers. Santa
Anna is the only man We know of
who ever tried to govern by Con.
stitution and laws, and he failed for
want of support.

Horace Greeley and JEFF. Davis
Bail, 't

Bail.
They have had Horace Greeley
before the Smelling Committee OF
the House of Representatives at
Washington, to find out why he
went upon Mr.. Davis bail. BY
this they have not made much, if
any thing, Mr. Greeley stated ex-
plicitly that he was never asked
by the President or by Government
officers to act in the matter. The
following conversation then en-
sued:
@. Did any one, after it was
known that you proposed to go bail
for Mr. Davis, apply to you not to
do so, or write to you about it?
A. Well, sir, there was a hubbub
at the time l was here, and Senator
Wade and Senator Chandler talked
with me about it. | think Senator
Creswell, of Maryland, was also
present. | do not recollect any
other person.
Q. On what ground did they urge
you not to 90 bail for jeff. Davis9
A. There was a conversation OF
half an hour between US on the
subject. l can not state definitely
what particular reasons they urged.
They thought it would have bad
influence.
@. That it would have a bad eff
feet on the Republican party9
A. | belive so. That was impress
sion | had.
@. Were there any other persons
endeavoring to prevent you going
bail for Jefferson Davis9
A. | do not recollect. There
may have been one or two person
al friends doing so, although it was
not generally known that l intend
ed to go his bail.
Q. Did they put their objection
on party ground alone?
A. Generally.
Q. There was no principle involv-
ed in it?
A. do not recollect. They
made no impression on me, other
than that it would be in furious to
the party,
Q. Did you tell them that it was
a party question to bail jeff. Davis,
he having been imprisoned so longi
A. No, sir. In the first place |
was desirous to bring on the trial.
The first year | thought we could
compel the Government to bring
the prisoner to trial by writ OF
haJeaS corpus. Finally I thought
the time for trial to any good pur
pose had passed.
Q. Did you go bail for Jefferson
Davis with view of having him
tried?
A. No.; | wished to have him tried
ifthe Government should ever wish
to try him.
Q. | understand you as saying
that you thought the time Tor try
ing him to any good purpose had
passed away?
A. That was my judgment.
Q. Is that your opinion nowl p
A. Yes, so far as know the facts.
If he had any thing to do with as
sassinating President Lincoln, or
poisoning or starving prisoners, |
wish him to be tried. / do not
know any facts that justify either
charge.
Q. You know of no facts on the
subject of his connection with the
assassination OF President Lincoln?
A. No, sir, none that would con-
meet him with it.
So it appears that the only oh.
lection that Wade, Chandler &C.,
had against the bailing of Mr..
Davis was, that it might have a bad
effect upon the Republican party!
This was the only light they view
ed 1t in. An act of national injus-
tice was to continue to be perpet-
uated, otherwise it might injure
the Republican psrty! What. high
grounds for a statesman to assume.

TIE ADoLpH WOLF CAsE.-It was OK
pcctcd that the case Of Adolph Wolf
would have been tried yesterday in the
Criminal Court. The States Attorney
stated that in consultation with the coun-
sci for the accused, it had, with the con-
sent Of the court, been agreed to continue
the case to the next term. Charles w.
Russell, Esq, one of the counsel for the
accused, observed that it was not expected
that he would plead to the Indictment
until inst previous to the trial. He de-
sired, however, that the prosecution should
point out which OF the various charges OF
false prctencc in the indictment it was in
tended to rely on. Mr.. Maund stated that
after the finding of the indictment, the de-
fence had made demand for the specifi-
cations, and the State had filed its answer.
In view Of the request Of the defence, and
at the instance Of his counsel, the continu-
ancc Of the case was deferred for few
days, when probably argument may be had
on the preliminary point thus raised. Mr..
Morrison Jacobson, Of Alabama, who, as a
witness for the defence, was in the city,
was summoned on the part of the State
and appeared in court with Oliver +. Hack,
Esq, who is associated with Mcssrs. Rus
sell and Isaac II. Carrington, of Rich

In Boston experiments have been re-
Gently made with petroleum as fuel for
steam fire engines. The form of the part
Of the engine containing the fuel is
langcd-rcservoirs, each containing thir-
teen gallons Of petroleum, being placed on
each side Of the furnace, from which tubes
conduct it to burners in close contact with
the boiler. The experiments are said to
be quite successful, and steam can be
raised sufficient to force water with the
usual power in onc-half the time occupied
by the system at present in use. Besides
saving time, this proccssis also said to save
money, and is not accompanied by the
dense smoke and showers Of cindcrs now
emitted BY steam fire engines. The Bos-
ton authorities are seriously considering
the policy of using petroleum exclusively
in the steam fire engines in that city.

TIE FALL ELECTIONS-WHAT THE RADI-
GALS SAY.-Ihere is great anxiety III
Washington among the politicians as to the
result OF the fall elections il Pennsylvania
ard Ohio next week. The Johnson men
arc particularly interested. From Ohio
the President gets gloomy accounts. Let
tcrs from Democratic politicians of that
State say that the Republican candidate
for Governor and a Republican LegiSla-
turc will be elected by large maiorltics,
and they lately despair of defeating the
manhood suffrage amendment.
The news from the campaign in Penn
sylvania is, if possible, more gloomy for his
Exccllcncy. Congressman Randall and his
party have been continually engineering
to have Philadelphia fixed so as to give a
large increased Democratic vote. The
President has afforded him every facility
but since the Union League Of that city
has cot in motion Randall has been de
spondcnt. The recent visit Of Sheridan
and Sicllles to Philadelphia is said to have
most damaging effect on the Democracy
and they are OF opinion that the State is
very doubtful. Republicans feel very con
lidcnt Of victory, and await the result with
