Mexican NeMs.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-The Herald's ca
BILE dispatch, dated Havana 5th, says Vera
Cruz dates are to Sept. 1st, and from the
capital to Aug. 28th.
The reported arrival Of Maximilian's 8
body at Vera Cruz is contradicted. 1t is
also contradicted that his body was mutt
lated.
Commander Roe, of the gun-boat Taco
der, claimed the body of the Emperor, and
his request has been listened to-
Acting Consul Atterburg, in the absence
of the French, Belgian and Italian Con.

cation for their governments.
Mr.. Plumb has not yet arrived at
Mexico.
The Supreme government has ordered
the case of Santa Anna to proceed. All the
Generals conference.-the death at Queretaro,
including CASTILLO, have been pardoned.
Gen. OtTanen was sentenced on the 18th
ult., by court martial, to be shot on
Wednesday. The sentence was carried out
on the Plaluzala de Mexico, against the
remonstrances of the American Minister.
OHaren left letters to Vindicate his mem-
ory. President Juarez has decreed a con-
vention of the Mexican people for the
purpose of electing President, Congress-
men and Magistrates of the Supreme Court.
Lopez the traitor, has published an account
of the seige of Queretaro, and seeks to
establish the fact that its fall was not the
result of treachery. Ortega's case was
awaiting the action of Congress.
The society of the Sisters of Charity has
been abolished, and another under the

A large supply of munitions of war has

THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.

The st. Louis Republican says Of the
Radical defeat in California on Wednes-
day last;
California, speaking first, repudiates
Radicalism in the present national emer-
gency. There is reason to hope that the
result of this first State election this fall
will operate powerfully in stimulating the
Democracy of Iowa and other States soon
to hold elections, to united and most resolute
efforts to carry those States. The Radical
party is tumbling to pieces. If the Conser-
vati7es Of the country present a united
front, they can sweep the field. Radicals
will undoubtedly seek to persuade them
selves that defeat overlook them in Califor-
MIA because Of divisions in their party.
Those very divisions, irreconcilable in their
nature, are the decisive indications of the
approaching dissolution of the party. There
is no hope of preserving the integrity of
great party upon basis 50 thoroughly
wrong as that upon which extreme Radi-
Gals have driven the party, and compelled
1t for time to stand. That basis is not the
constitution of the republic-it is not JUS
tlce nor right The signs have been clear
for year that the people have felt deep
concern and fear about the end 30 which
the Radical reyolutionists were driving the
country. The moderate and iudicious
among the Republicans have protested
against the measures of their reckless asso-
ciates, but the revolution has advanced till
serious complications are discovered in the
near future This California victory over
Rilicalism will infuse more boldness into
Conservative Republicans, and widen the
separation between them and the reVolu-
tionists. There will be broad, open split
between them that cannot he closed. That
split is their destruction. Let the Democ-
racy be united and judicious, displaying a
proper expediency and sagacity and Radi-
calisn is dead.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN THE NORTH.

From the New York Herald, Sept. 5th.
1t is certainly the purpose of the more
advanced and most active leaders of the
Radical party to force negro suffrage upon
the loyal States as well as upon the South.
Sumner, Wendell Phillips and some
others do not hesitate to avow that. As
soon as the strong arm Of central power
shall have finished the work of Africani-
zing the South, then these revolutionists
will insist that the same power be applied
to force negro suffrage upon the loyal
States, whether the people wish it or not
1t remains TO be seen how far these crazy
destructives can 60. 1t may be that the
Republican party will go with them to any
length in overriding the constitution, COM
mon sense and everything else; but there
are indications of a split in the party. The
views of Senator Trumbull as published
in a Chi cago paper, show that he does not
endorse the Sumner negro programme with
regard to the loyal States. Mr.. Trumbull is
one of the most powerful men of his party, and
very Radical in many respects, but he can
not swallow quite such large revoluntion.
ary dose. We are inclined 10 believe, from
the views Of this leading Senator, which
are ably expressed, that a reaction and
split will take place in the Republican
party on the negro question. The more
sensible and Conservative begin TO think
that negro fanaticism has been carried
quite far enough, or too far. The sooner
this reaction comes the better for the peace
and welfare Of the country, North and
South

New YORK, Sept. 9.-The Times
special says the cable dispatch announcing
that an American vessel had been inter
ferred with at Crete, by the Turkish au-
thorities, excites considerable surprise. 1t
is stated in diplomatic circles that French
and other foreign vessels have acted hui
namely towards the poor Christians. The
action of our naval officers will be sus-
tanned by our government as they have
been only rendering services of humanity,
the Withholding of which would have been
disgraceful under the circumstances.
The President valves the suspension of
Commissioner Rollins, of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, and Mr.. Hillyer, of
New York, an officer of the Department,
has recommended Gen. Steedman for the
position. Secretary McCulloch, however,
resolutely resists all these efforts for a
change, and declares there are no grounds
on which charges can be made agains
Commissioner Rollins.
Mr. Gray, the agent of the State of Mis-
souri, has, within two weeks, collected
$280,000 Of the war claim of the State, and
deposited the same to its credit in New
York. Over FIVE millions of the claims of
six millions have been collected.
The Worlds Virginia City special says :
Cavanaugh, Democrat, has been elected
Congress from Montana by an over
whelming majority.
The Herald's special says: 1t is alleged
that further damning disclosures of the
doings of Ashley and Butler, in their
alleged conspiracy against the President,
are about TO be made by the Attorney
General. A Capt. Chandler, who formerly
was in charge of the Washington jail,
said to be Radical, is the supposed au-
thority for the new developments.
The Worlds special says: Information
has been developed here within the last
day or two, showing that initiatory steps
have been taken for meeting of Radical
Governors Of the Northern and Western
States, either in Philadelphia or Washing
ton, during the present month. In the
West, where such a convention was first
suggested, it seems to be in favor. A pri-
vate letter from Chicago says that Gov
ernors Fletcher, Oglesby and Cross, John
Logan, and Congressmen Jerry Brownell,
Judd, and others, were in that city talking
the matter over on Tuesday last. None of
the Eastern Radical Governors, so far as is
known, have been written to on the subject,
and Gov. Fletcher has some doubts as to
whether Governors Fenton, Geary and Bull
lock would attend such gathering. The
object is not stated, but it evidently relates
to the impending crises in the Republican
party.

NEGRO HIGHwAYMEN AROUNB
MEMPHIS.

The Memphis Bulletin, in giving the de-
tails of shocking highway robbery on last
Friday night, says:
The negroes who are too idle to work,
and prefer theft and highway robbery to
labor, in order to obtain living, seem to
have banded themselves together into reg
ular organized gangs, and infest the out
skirts of the city, in order to waylay pedes-
trians for the purpose of robbing them.
They are to be found on all the principal
roads leading out of the city, and the po-
lice appear to have no terrors for them, and
they ply their nefarious vocation of stop
ping travellers and robbing them of their
money and valuables with the most perfect
impunity. They are all armed to the teeth
with pistols and knives, and their order to
stand and deliver" is generally promptly
attended to, as the victim has no alterna-
tive but to hand over his money and watch,
or to shuttle off his mortal coil on the
shortest possible notice.

THE INDIAN WAR
Vigorous Policy TO

AVigOFOus Policy to be Pursued.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writing on the 4th
says
Yesterday General Grant was engaged
all day in the transaction of very important
business connected with the Indian war in
the West. Reports on the subject have Just
been received from General Sherman and
Generl Hancock, which render it evident
that the Indian war which we have upon
our hands is going to assume larger pro-
portions than any one supposed, and that
it will last for years, unless it is quelled
this year; and, furthermore, that its success
ful prosecution will require very large and
immediate reinforcements to the troops
already or the ground. All that has been
done up 10 this time has been merely pre-
liminary, and with the lingering hope that
peace might yet be secured. This hope has
now been abandoned by General Sherman,
and he states that the war must be prose-
cuted at once and with the greatest vigor.
The hostile Indians are not numerous, but
their peculiar manner ofcarrying on hostili-
ties renders one Indian more than match
for ten white soldiers. They have been
supplied with rifles of the most approved
construction, which carry a ball with accu-
racy to an almost incredible distance, and
whenever they fire a white soldier dies.
They generally prefer, however, to use their
bows and arrows, and these weapons are as
much dreaded by the soldiers as firearms
for the arrows always hit the mark, and the
wound which they infict is generally fatal,
and always exceedingly painful and dan
gerous.
In consequence of the bitter hostility of
the Indians and the feTocity with which
they make their attacks, work upon the
Pacific railroad is greatly impeded, if, in
deed, it is not virtually suspended, and ali
travel across the plains is at the risk of life.
General Grant is determined that this state
of things shall not continue General
Sherman is to be at once furnished with all
the troops he requires, and the war is to be
carried on with such vigor as may insure
its termination, it is hoped, during the
present wear
