Owyhee bullion. [volume] (Silver City, I.T. [Idaho]) 1866-1867, 1867-07-18
Effect in Europe.

The murder of Macmillan has been con-
firned by the late dispatches. and as We in
dictated in former article, the effect Of the
intelligence has caused thrill of horror
throughout the old world. AT Vienna the
Imperial court went into deep mourning,
and at London, by order Of the government
authorities, grand review which was to take
place on the 4th of July, was postponed.
The affair bloody, cruel, aud merciess in
every particular caused great indigna-
tion in England and upon the continent.
Very strange to say. that a lew are to be
found in free America who are disposed TO
endorse the bloody decree. Such We pre-
sumo are controlled altogether by their oppo-
siton to thrones and regal titles, and give
themselves no trouble to survey the whole
field if indeed they have sufficient brains To
do SO. 1t is with little difficulty that men
Of intelligence arrive a; the conclusion that
the cunsummation Of the act is one of the
greatest crimes against civilization, perpe
trated by any people in any aye Of the world
When it is remembered that the large ma
jority Of the Mexican people are mongrels-
half blooded Indians and the minority of
the white race, and that all or nearly all
OF the halt bluuds are mere treebouters who
disregard all law and all government, it is
very easy to see why the whites We're unable
to establish and maintain government of
their own. Alter nearly three quarters OF
IA century ofanarchy and mOngre rule by
whatever brigdnd oh e. who should Prove snc-
cessiul by force OF superior power without r.
gard to law it is not at all strange that the
white population OF Mexico should earnestly
implure the French Emperor to give them a
government. and thus relieve them from rob
errule. VIII 'ther Maximllian can he consid-
cred us an usurper or not, We care not now
TO discuss. He went to Mexico ut the So
licitation Of the whites, who we're desir-
Gus OF having stable government of
some form. They certainly had right
to be heard in the government Of Themselves
and and we are not at all surprised that Jau-
rez, that full blood Aztec Indian and all his
kind sh0u Il marshal their husts in opposition,
since the establishment of such government
upon firm basis, would forever put un end
to their robbing and marsuding propensites.
1t wds IN CONS qnence Of the fact that the
monarels were the most numerous in Mexico.
and their disposition being that of freeboot-
ers, that the last half century has demon
strated, that people incapable Of selfgovern-
ment. While the whites are in the main,
educated and intelligent, the mnngrels are
semi civilized which brings into contact VA
riOus irrecnncilable elements. And when it is
known that the white population had ITO ST.
curity for life, or protection for property.
only as they should give in their adhesion to
the robber chief, who shout happen to b.
successful, We see very strong reason for
their earnest desire to have a government
where their rights would he respected hut
Macmillan now s'umbers in the ground. for
his effort to protect the whites of Mexico !;
and all humanity cries aloud for VENGEANCE.
The shudder that passed through Europe
upon the announcement of the bloody TRACE
dy. will eliminate in fierce, sangninary,
but brief struggle. in which the grpascr ma
ton, ifsuch it ought to be calpd--will be
wiped from iheararth it has disgraced. or we
very much mistake the present omen.
