Mr.. CHANDLER, an chronological spe-
cimen Senator, from Michigan, has per-
suaded himselfinto the absurd conviction
that he is q great statesman, and has con-
s~equently become an immense bore. The
following is his last 'splurge:'
Mr.. Chandler said he wished to offer a
resolution. lie saw by the news from
Europe, that France and Austria had
suspended diplsmatical relations with
Mexico, and had gone into mourning
over the death Of Macmillan.
Mr.. Sumner interrupted Mr.. Chandler
to insist that he offer his resolution first
and then let the question come up
whether the senate would consider it
to-day.
MI. Chandler said he would do that.
The resolutions were then read. They
recite IN full, in a preamble, the decree
OF MaEimiliap, issued October 3, 1865,
and assert that 80 WheFess, certain Next
can officers therein named, and ten tpOu-
sand other Mexican officers and men,
! were inhumanly murdered in cold blood,
after having surrendered as prisoners of
I war, in violation of every law and usage
OF civilized warfare the committee on
foreign relations be INSTRUCTED to inquire
into and report upon the tacGs perein
stated, at the earliest practicable mo-
meBt.
Mr.. Chandler was about to address the
senate on the above, when, Mr.. Sumner
Directing, Il vent over.
Mr.. Chandler-Nerg yell L can say
what I have to say tomorrow.
The Senate should have raised the
committee, made CHANDLER chairman,
and directed them to proceed to Mexico.
So the preeedents ace. DID rot the
Committee appointed to libel Memphis,
come to Memphis to gather up all sorts
Of testimony? We would really like to
know what action of Congress could be
based on information &C obtained, as TO
the acts Of M~AxIMLIAN's government
ia Mexico. That miserable country
might as pESpsFly institute an inquiry
as to the atrocities eotnAitte4 by the
Federal armies during the civil war.

REASON.

It seems that in n State the time is
supposed to have arrived when officers,
civil. uncivil and military, are no longer
TO be above the law. For Over six years,
every body, every where in the United
States and Provinces, has held his per
sonal liberty by tenancy at will Of any
body else who has chosen 10 assume that
he had the power TO arrest and imp-ison
without warrant. Not only Jaek-bOots
aud Shoulder-strsps are the emblems Of
imperial power; but every little wretched
pimp and catsmite Of power, armed with
the majesty Of that "angel fallen aud dis
crowned" the United States, has mag
ined himself invested with all the attrib-
utes Of omnipotence. So it was in the
Southwest, during the lsst two years Of
war. when Enrolling officers +" were
autocrats to whom men crouched, and
Provost MarFhals were COlossi, between
whose legs those who had once been
somewhat in the general estimation, did

a message 10 her monarchs that repub-
licans disdained TO initiate the bad ex-
amples set by Austria after the surren-
der of Villages, and by Louis Napoleon
when his perfidiOus usurpati0n had
throttled France. We keenly feel that
Mexico owed to this country quite
enough to Justify our intercession for this
young mans life, and to give US a valid
claim to be heard and needed. And We
trust our government will be admonished
by the insult put upon US in the face of
the civilized world to mind Its own busi-
ness hereafter, and let the affairs Of other
nations alone. Especially, let those
whom John Randolph causticalIy de-
scribed as "~blanketed nation Of thieves
and harlotsn understand that we shall
let them severely alone evermOre.
Yet, it is net fair TO ignore the fact that
Miximilian initiated the detestable pol
icy of executing prisoners OF war as bril-
gands and robbers, and that he had put
several republican generals TO death be-
fore his cruelty was retsliated. MOI can
the Times ignore the record that il has
demanded the execution Of Jefferson
Davis since the utter collapse and break
down Of his C~onfederRcy. 1t would be
impossible TO convince impartial public
lists that it would be just and wise to hang
Davis, but not so 10 shoot Macmillan.
The idea Of Mexico being "wise and
great y is very rich to one who has ever
had intercourse with her people. A
standard Of civilization is announced by
that representative scoundrel, EsCOBEDo,
who says:
AZ have made terror the order
of the day everywhere. / have i'm
posed contributions on the rich and con-
fscated their property and their all,
When / could not do it in peosOn my
delegates have strictly complied with my
orders. l hope before closing my mill
tary career to see split the blood of every
foreigner that resides in my country"
These sentiments are worthy of the
New England pulpit, and very much re.
mind US of the orations delivered at col.
lege commencement in 1865. In initial
ing the conduct of the war against the
war against the South, EsCoBEDO, like
ALI PACHA in Crete, has somewhat i'm
proved on the precedent afforded him by
" the best government in the world"
In executing prisoners Of war as bri
gands and robbers" MAMMALIAN alsC
followed the precedents established by
the United States, when they tried pri
vateersmen as pirates, and threatened t.
execute them, and sOould hare done 81
but for the retaliation threatened. 1t wa
a " detestable policy" a s it still is to in
sist on harassing Confederate officers a
traitors and rebels, and shamefully vic
lating the pledges given upon the receip'
Of the paroles of our officers when they
surrendered. At all events, the shooting
Of MACMILLAN is not worse than tn
hanging of Mrs. SpRRATT, by the sen
tence Of a tribunal better suited to Mex
leo than TO the United States.

MADAM JUAREz GONETO VERA CRUZ
TRIAL OF MAMMALIAN.


TRIAL OF MAMMALIAN.
NEW ORLEANS, July 10.
Madam Juarez and q party Of fifteen
persons arrived last night and left this a.
m. for Vera Cruz on the revenue cutter
Wilderness.
The Brownsville RGncherO, Of the 4th,
publishes the proceedings of the court
martial that tried Macmillan, and the
general court was composed Of q lieuten-
ant-eolonel, a priest, six captains, a judge
advocate, and Lieut.. Col. Manuel AS
perez. The prisoners tried separately
each party entered a plea complaining OF
the Jurisdiction of the court, and pro-
testing against a refusal Of the right to
appeal. Macmillan was confined to his
bed, when his case was called, his being
the last. His was ably defended by Sc
nor Eulilo Ortega, who refuted the
charges of Maximilian's usurpations and
cruelty. He said the law Of the third OF
October was made when Macmillan was
cheated into the belief that Juarez had
abandoned the territory, and n Of the
articles of that law was dictated by
the French commandments. He
said that the act of October third
was only intended as a terror,
and there never had been a petition fol-
pardon but what had been granted. He
asked the members Of the court in the
name Of civilization which will judge o.
deeds done this day as the defenders Of
the independence of Mexico to save the
name of the country in the eyes Of the
coming generation. They will forever
applaud the browning Of the victory.
The greatest portion OF the accusation:
consisted in his attempting to prOlong
war by the decree Of March 18th, anC
