Wednesday Morning, II
The Great Exposition.

The Paris Exposition has now touched
the meridian of its glories, and apart
from its Intrinsic worth and splendOr, it
must he owned that NAPoLEoN'S pOliti-
cal aim in planning it has been accom-
plished. A twelve-mOnth since all Eu-
rope rang with the name of Prussia,
whose prodigious conquest riveted every
eye upon her, and left STance, before
the undisputed mistress of the conti-
nent, to play the part of a
wall flower for the year. All
this seems to have determined NAPo-
LEON to push the Exposition more Wig
crously than ever, seeking to recover
his lost prestige and to answer the
dazzling war-stroke of BISMARCK with
victory of peace which should be no
less renowned. He has succeeded.
Prussia again takes an inferior place in
public attention, and the whole world
talks once more OF Paris, of France and
of NAPOLEON

The Indian War.

General BUFoRD went under cloud
because he bluntly said what he thought
about this business of an Indian War.
The country knew last winter that the
troubles then springing up with the
Indians were the result of blunder, or
worse. of subordinate army officer.
The frank opinion Of General BUFoRD
is, that this war is gotten up by men
who want To fatten on Government
plumber. 1t would hardly be prudent
to deny it. even if the charge We're not
easily proved, for it is quite manifest
that the scalping and shooting exercises
upon which we have entered might as
we'll have been avoided as not. The
very spirit in which money is offered by
the whites for Indian scalps rith the ears
on, is proof of the intent that long lay
lurking behind the opening of these
barbarous scenes and convicts one side
of being at least equally savage with
the other

Particulars OF the Execution of Mnx
imiIiau

New ORLEANS, July 9.--The Times
has a special dispatch from Houston,
Texas, giving detailed accounts of the
execution by the Liberals of Maximil-
ian, Miramop and Mejia. None Of the
prisoners were bound or blindfolded,
nor was any indignity offered. Maxi
milan, before shot recapitulated, the
causes that brought hin to Mexico. He
denied the authority of the Court that
tried him and hoped his blood would
stop the further effusion of blood in
Mexico.
Just before he was led out, he called
to the sergeant of the guard and gave
him handful of gold, and requested as
favor that the soldiers would aim at
his heart. His last words were "Poor
Carlottaw Five balls entered his
breast, but these did not kill him i'm
mediately, so two other soldiers were
ordered to shoot him in the side, and in
this manner he was dispatched. Much
dissatisfaction and grief was manifest
ed by those who witnessed the scene.
Miramon read paper which he
had written, that the only regret he
felt in dying was that the Liberals
should remain in power, and should
have the power to point ont his children
as traitors --r. --,--s
Mejia made no address but met his
fate quietly and bravely.
The sword of MaXimilian was pre-
sented to Juarez by Escobeao in the

Southern Harvest.

1t is stated in the June report of the
Agricultural Department that in some
parts of the South there have been COM
plants of rust, but it has been mainly
confined to the leaf, while the grain
was so nearly ripe as to be little liable
to attack. The harvest has been gath
cred in Georgia and other States with a
very gratifying result. The average of
winter wheat is as large, in majority
of the States, as last year, although it is
less in a few of the principal wheat
growing States. Texas, Kansas, Ohio
and Indiana report diminished aver
age; Virginia, Georgia, Arkansas and
Tennessee largely increased growth;
the New England States show slight
increase; the Middle States similar ad-
vance, not exceeding six per cent, and
the Southern States an average increase
of twenty per cent. If the conditions
continue favorable, at least two hundred
millions of bushels may be expected in
all the States and Territories. All the
other cereals are represented in good
condition.

The Meaning Of Couascation

Before the confiscatiOnists put their
terrible weapon to work, they would do
well TO consider where it will stop in its
task. This age is becoming famous for
its propensity to unmask concealed
ideas. A proposition has been intro
duced into Congress to take from rebel
landowners at the South portion of
their lands and distribute them among
the negroes who worked them-the
principle on which it is based being
that the labOrer on the land owns an
interest in it. But why not, perti-
nently asks one, "extend the principle
10 New England, and say there can be
no republican government where the
cotton factories are owned by wealthy
men and worked by hired and poorly
paid laborf' If the negroes of the
South own. by the right of labor, the
lands they have cultivated, why don't
the factory girls of Lowell own Ben
BUTLER'S factory.
And the factory girls of Lowell, and
the hundreds of thousands of discon-
tented workingmen at the North will
begin to ask "why not :" too. Senator
= WADE declares that the labor question
and the property question are pressing
npOn us, and are about TO become the
overwhelming issues of the hour. So
they are; and the land is full of dema-
gogues, who are ready to bid for votes by
prOclaimiDg this platform
First Redistribution of property.
Second-Repudiation of the National
Debt.
There is terrible fascination in this
platform. 1t possesses the charm of
being surprisingly radical, and it has
gnte as much justice in it as confisca-
tiOn has. In fact, c0nfscation will be
the stepping stone to it; and when the
barren estates of tie South have been
distributed among the negroes, hun
dreds of thousand of laboring men in
the North may demand the equal Justice
of similar distribution in their half of
,nr progressive republic.

The Cost Of Despotism

A single military department" at the
South has three hundred boards of reg
istration. They have already held their
sessions for weeks. They will hold
them for many weeks to come. Each
member is paid eight dollars day. Es-
timating ten members upon each board,
including all their runners aud attend
ants, and three hundred dollars to the
five Monarchics, and we have daily ex-
pense of one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars (Sl20, ,OOO) for the boards
alone. But this is small part of the
cost of the despotism. The military COM
manders with their staffs-the army of
soldiers-the machinery of the Five
Monarchy Act-are rolling up the ex-
penses of the Federal treasury by tn e
hundreds of millions. The money that
is needed to reduce the enormous debt, is
absorbed by this government of the des-
pots in the ten Southern States. The
expenses of ths War Department alone
the present year will be one hundred
and fifty millions. 1t should not be
over twenty-five or thirty millions. At
least one hundred millions of dollars
will be swallowed up this year by the
War Department in carving out the
Five Monarchy BIll.-Haruord Times.

Death of Associate Justice Wayne

Hon. James NJ. Wayne, senior Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, died in Washington
city, Friday morning in the seventy
eighth year of his age, having been
born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1890.
Judge Wayne was graduate of Prince.
ton College, New Jersey, and studied
law in the North. He early entered
the political arena in Georgia, and was
honored with various offices Of trust
and profit by the people of his State.
In 1o29 he was elected to Congress,
where he served until 1885, when he was
appointed to the Supreme Bench by
President Andrew jackson, of whose
administration and policy he was a
staunch supporter. He was consequent
ly the oldest member in commission OF
the Court. He was assigned to the
Fifth United States Circuit, comprising
the States of South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. His
speciality on the bench was admiralty
jurisprudence, and in this department
of law his opinions are always held as
first-class authorities.

Tn. nondhoIder. vs.. the People.

The thirty millions of people in the
United States who do not hold Govern
ment bonds were obliged by law TO
accept legaltender grecnback notes for
all their debts and obligations, even if
the payments were stipulated to be in
gold. The three hundred thousand
bondholders who lent the greenbacks
to the Government, have no cause to
complain if they are paid off in the
same currency they leat, and if their
debts are liquidated in the same man
uer that the other debts are! Is bond
holders debt mole sacred than debt
for flour or other neceSsaries of life,
which can be discharged by greenbacks!
Ii the bondholder is paid in the latter
he will be better off than other people,
for he will get the same currency he
gave, while NEST of the public obtained
a paper hqidation for q good debt. If
a greenback can extinguish an obliga-
tiOn created in gold, shall it not be
potent to discharge one that was created
in greenbacks? -.-

"TRoUBLE AT Big Run. "A rather sim
gular affair occurred ut Big Run, about
three miles from Cameron, on Thursday
morning last. The facts, as near as we
can learn, are as follows: On Thurs
day morning last, about nine
o'clock, a Mrs. Truman, who lost
her husband in defense of his country,
and her children were on the premises
of Charles BOnar when his daughter
ordered them OFF. They went back
home, and shortly afterwards Mrs. 1ru-
man returned with several rocks i'll hcI
hand, which she hurled at Miss Bonar
She then approached Miss b. and draw
ing butcher knife which she had con-
cealed about her person, made several
blows, each taking effect, but none OF
a serious nature except one, which came
near severing the jugular vein. We are
of the opinion that there was a previ-
Gus difficulty between the eparties, which
led to the above rash act"
Mrs. Truman is the widow of James
Truman, who lost his life in the past
war. He was man of good moral
character, and esteemed by all who
knew him. Charles Bonar, wi o lives
not more than quarter of mile from
| her house, was a widower during the
war, and noted for the lowness of his
character. He was very devoted to the
widow for some time after the death of
her husband, which devotedness SEEM
ed to stop all of sudden, from
what reason l am unable to
say, but from which time Mrs. Tru-
man and the Bonar family have been
somewhat at variance. Another diff
Guilty occurred between them a few
weeks since, from which l suppose the
above originated. Mrs. Truman's two
little girls, one six and the other eight
years old, were accustomed to pass
through Mr.. Bonar's field to and from
school. They were on their way to
school one morning, as usual, when
Mrs. Bonar's two daughters thought
it would be nice little spot of fun TO
frighten the little children by Kissing
the dogs after them, which they said
they knew would not bite. After en-
joying their fun for some time, one of
the Misses Bonar took the little chill
dren by the arms and put them roughly y
out of the field. The mother, seeing
her little orphan children frightened
and abused in such way, ran to their
assistance, when she was assailed by
the two Misses Bonar with clubs, and
finally by their inhuman father,
Charles BOnar, who ended the row by
brutally knocking her down with hoe
handle by the side of her frighten-
ed children, for which he is now
under bail for his appearance before the
next term of court, where it is hoped
the brute will be learned more human
ways. II. b. TRUMAN.

-Four weeks ago, Mrs. Mary Lauriti

Four weeks ago, Mrs. Mary Lauritz,
wife of John Lauritz, wholesale and re-
tail dealer in groceries in Seventeenth
avenue, New York city, left home, with
her husbands full knowledge and con-
sent, the arrangement being that she
might either visit Germany, or take a
trip to New Orleans, where she had
rslatives. Her husband supplied her
with $1,000 in money, besides q fine
wardrobe worth at least q 900. Nothing
was heard Of her for some time, she
having finally decided to go to New Or

city. Proceeding thither he found hel

Santa Anna at Sisal, but official informa-
ton has been received from our Consuls
in Mexico of the death of Maximilian.
Some doubt has been thrown on the re-
liability of the intelligence from the fact
that letters received here from Sisal,
dated June 20, report that Santa Anna
was ut that time prisoner at Cam
peaehy, distance of one hundred and
twenty-eight miles from Sisal. As the
