At a meeting of the Freedmen at Char
lotte Court House some days since, DIR.
J. P. Brown and others, became dissatis-
fed at not receiving an appointment at
the hands of the Court, after swearing
they we're good Union men, Sc. Brown,
appealed directly to the freedmen, was re
piled to by colored, man Ned Nelson, of
unusual intelligence and responsibility,
who stated that during the war it seemed
to them that all the white folks we're of
one way of thinking, all fighting or help
ing those who did, and that he was sur
prised to find SO suddenly that so many
more white. gentlemen thaa he expected
were opposed to the war, and that he be-
lieved man who came out fatfooted and
says he was for the war, when there is no
profit or advantage in his saying so, and
when | hear another one say he was
against the war when the advantages are
on the other side, I must suspect him in
stantly, and while some were quarrelling
about their loyalty in connection with pet
ty offices of the county, he would not have
one if given to him. He went on to say
that he desired to see the offices of the
County bestowed upon the most upright
and sensible men in the county.
He touched upon general topics with
comparative ease and correctness and all
were gratifed at the sound views express
ed by him. He was selected as one Of
the Delegates to the Hunniicut Conven,
ton Correspondent DaauiWe Times,
The views expressed by Ned are appli-
cable to all sections Of the country and
our freedmen would do well to initiate
his example.

NEW ORLEANS, July 9,-The Times has a spe-
cial despatch from Houston, Texas, giving
detailed account of the execution of Maxi
milan, Miramon, and Mejia. Neither of them
were bound or blindfolded, nor were any indlg-
mites offered them, as reported. Macmillan,
before being shot, recapitulated the causes
which had brought him TO Mexico, denied the
authority of the Court which sentenced him,
and hoped his death would stop the effusion of
blood in Mexico. Miramon read from paper,
expressing that the only regret he felt in dying
was, that should the Liberals remain in po wer,
his children would be pointed out as the chill
dren of traitor.
Mejia made no address.
Macmillan called the Sergeant of the Guard,
and gave him handful of gold, requesting as
favor that they should aim at his heart. Five
balls entered his heart, but not being quite
dead, two soldiers were called out and shot
him in the side. The spectators manifested much
grief and dissatisfaction. The sword of Max
imilian was presented 10 Juarez by Escobedo,
in the Government Palace.

The Situation I'm the House.
The hour fixed for closing the debate in the

halfpast p. M, but the vote will probably not
be taken until late in the afternoon. It will
pass the House very much in the shape re-
ported by the committee. l- .l

II is believed that the bills passed respec-
lively by the two Houses will reach a Confer
ence Committee about Thursday, and that q
measure Will be agreed upon and passed this
week. .. .f
The Senate will not take action upon the
Reconstruction bill before them until the House
bill is received.
The President Will Deal Promptly with
t.I the Measure. ~
The President has announced his purpose to
deal promptly by veto or otherwise, with the
bill, TO enable Congress TO get away speedily.

Mr.. Summer received the cold shoulder to-day
in another attempt 10 induce the Senate to re-
scind the resolution cutting OF general legisla-
