Shall thy loving kindness be declared in th,

The above proverb will suggest itself to any
thinking, feeling, or humane man, who should
take occasion to visit the burial grounds of the
Episcopal and Methodist Episcopal Churches
just beyond the limits Of the corporation, and
more especially if such persons have lots OF
friends there A more shamefully neglected
cemetery probably would be difficult to find
any where. Many Of the lots have no fences

TO decay for want of that attention which is SO

closing the burial grounds, which during the
war had been destroyed, was replaced and it

and complete oblivion into which our bodies

REPORTS FROM MEXICO. An official dispatch
received at Washington by Mr.. Romero, the
Mexican Minister, purports to give an account
of an interview between Porfirio Diaz, now be-
sieging the City of Mexico, and an Austrian
Princess, the wife of an officer on the staff Of
Macmillan. This lady is said to have pre-
sented herself before Gen. Diaz, and to have
intimated that the Austro- Belgian corps would
disband on a guarantee being given that the
lives of it's members would be spared and per
mission granted to them to return to their
countries A further guarantee was asked
that the life Of Macmillan would be spared
To these propositions Gen. Diaz is said to have
replied that in respect to the Austro Belgian
legion he was disposed to entertain such pro-
posals as might be made to him. but that he
had no authority to pardon Macmillan.
1t is subsequently stated that the Austro-
Belgian corps had been disbanded and its
members put under the protection Of the Prus-
sian flag. The reports. from Queretaro state
that a sortie was made by the lmperialists, but
was repulsed. aud that Miramon had proposed
at personal interview with some of the Liber-
al officers that an armistice should be declared,
during which conference might be held at
the City of Mexico to decide upon the form of
the future government Of Mexico. The prop
osition, we are told was secuted by those to
whom it was addressed.

From New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, May l7.-Gen. Sheridan
telegraphed yesterday to Gen. IIartsuf, from
Galveston, to issue an order forbidding all per
sons in this city from carrying firearms. He
also telegraphel as follows: LET the fremen'$
festival go on. Hold troops in readiness lc
suppress riotif necessary, keeping the Custom
House as your base Of operations, and if neces-
sary call on the naval commander TO place his
shi ps opposite the foot of Canal street.
The foregoing instructions are to be carried
out, on the superstition that trouble in the city
is anticipated.
Cen Mower addressed the rioters yesterday,
when two hundred passed his headquarters on
their way to the new Basin, brandishing clubs,
and threatening to lynch the contractors there,
as follows: eff you feel yourselves wronged
you must apply to the proper authorities for
redress, and you shall have it; but if you take
this thing into your own hands, you may lose
what rights you already possess If you go on
with this rioting, by the eternal God, will
throw grape and canister into you. Now dis
perse, and 60 to your homes, or to your work. .
The mob Immediately dispersed.
There was small affair Of like character
to-day being an attempt on the part of the
mob to prevent others from working. The
police made several arrests. The military was
reviewed to-day, and gunboat has been order
ed in front of the city. All is quiet.

WHIsKEY FRAUDS. The supplemental charge
Of Underwood to his Grand Jury, intimating
that gigantic frauds upon the revenue have been
committed by tho distillers of whiskey in this
State, is very justly regarded as an assault upon
the ''loyalty" Of those who have never faltered
in their worship Of the old flag. We had
supposed that the manufacture of whiskey was
conducted under the patriotic and vigilant
eyes Of loyal inspectors, who, fortified in the
'striple steel of iron-clad oaths, would sub
NIT 10 be torn to pieces by wild horses rather
than permit the best. government that ever
existed to be cheated of pint of whiskey.
Surely it is MOTTO be tolerated that these models
of incorruptible loyalty shall rest under the
suspicion that they have permitted the Gov
eminent, to which they are so disnterestedly
attached, to be defrauded OF cent OF revenue.
We had, until the destinations OF Underwood
to the contrary, supposed that the "lron-elad
oath would not only secure "hrst proof ln-
tegrity aud loyalty, but also an honest return.

REGISTRATION IN WASHINGTON. In the
Supreme Court Of the District, on Saturday,
Judge DIN delivered the opinion of the court
in the cases founded upon the petitions of
George T. Langley and Others to compel the
commissioners of registration to place their
names upon the registry lists. Judges Wylie
and Fisher also delivered opinions, agreeing
entirely in their conclusions with that delivered
by Judge DIN.
The court dismissed the rules to show cause,
but they decide that every citizen qualified to
vote under she law of Congress is entitled to
be registered; that it is the duty of the regis,
tiers to inquire who are qualified voters, and
when they know a man to be a qualified voter,
that they must place his name upon the lists,
whether he makes personal application or not;
that a refusal to appear at specified time, and
at designated place to be registered, does not
forfeit the right Of any individual to the elective
franchise that by law the judges or registers
of election are obliged to hold an open session
of two days to correct the lists at least five days
prior to an election, and that in correcting
them it is their duty to add the names of all
qualified voters without regard to the reason
why the name was originally omitted; that
the registers have no judicial or discretionary
power, but must record the names of all per-
sons found qualified, and that refusal to re-
gister makes the register liable to an action for
damages. Baltimore San.
