A CARD FROM MIR. HERRICK.

To the Editor of the NeIO York Ifibune:--
Sir:-The Tribune of this morning contains a
paragraph from the anonymous correspondence
of Western journal, the statements in which
derive their only importance from being attri-
buted to the President of the Omitted States. So
far as / am concerned but few words seem neces-
sary.
u did not vote for the Constitutional amend
ment abOlishlng slavery in consequence of q
bargain with MIR. Ashley or anybody else. NV
reasons for that vote were explicitly stated at
the time, on the floor Of the House of Repre-.
sentatives, and my action on that occasion has
been fully justified by the event. MANY Demo
Gratis who then denounced my vote have since
acknowledged that was right and they were
wrong, and have never had reason to regret
the course then pursued.
1t Is well known that President Lincoln felt
very kindly disposed towards the Democrats
who had supported what he regarded as the
great measure of his administration and that
they were not neglected in the distribution of
official patronage. He nominated nv brother
a well-known and active Republican PARTISAN
for Assessor of Internal Revenue in the district
represented, and the Senate having adjourned
without acting upon the nomination, the Presi-
dent promised TO appoint him during the recess
The assassination followed, and the especial
friends of Mr.. Lincoln strongly urged President
johnson to fulfil a promise which his predeces.
II there had been any such a "bargain" as is
ntimated, it must have been with Abraham
Lincoln. Is this credible?
may say, in conclusion, that President John.
son has never appointed my brother, as he is
SAID to have done. Respectfully, etc.,
ANsoN HBRRIoK.

Here, on another table, Ia the body OF n sui
eide. IT Is that of woman She must have
been beautiful at one time - very probably
beloved and honored and bright with the truth
and beauty of womanhood But upon the poor
worn eountenance are to be seen the deep lines
OF vicious and unhappy life. Sin alone could
nave made those ominous crows feet around
the eyes and cheeksbones. Those mean more
than they seem. The history of a life-the fall
from purity to depravity; the impulse OF the
last step which hurried her to selfdestruction
and 70 untold horrors beyond the tomb, are
written in that wan countenance in unmlstaka-
BILE characters.
The water from above falls with q steady
drip, drip upon the death-marble forehead, and
streams over the emaciated shoulders and
breast II serves to keep the body fresh and
recognizable for a time, but there is no kind
eye to Identify IL now, The friends and lovers
which the brilnancy OF those closed eyes and
the pulsation of that silent heart once made are
dead and absent now. and all is over OF the
madness which to her was an apology for ex-
istence.
A general mournful and respectful silence is
observed by all who visit the Morgue when
dead bodies are upon exhibition, and the
Morgue itself is one of the most melancholy of
our metropolitan necessities.-N Y. tribune.

Snsnension in Troy.

Troy, N. Y, July 3l.-The first note of the
coming financial crash was heard here yester-
day, in the suspension of the prominent whole
sale grain house of Moore & Cowell. The liza
bilties are SlSO,O0O, while the assets are said to
he in a condition to realize but little. 1t is
alleged that the firm have been financially en-
barrassed for some little time. The immediate
necessity for a suspension arose from the recent
sudden death of the junior member, Mr.. Slas L.
Covel. who fell from grain elevator some days
since. A very general regret is expressed here
st the suspension of house enjoying so large q
degree of the public confidence. large Dor.

man entered the Farmers and Manufaeturers
Bank Of this city, and presented what purported
to be Henry D. Varlck's check for S25OO, and
asked the cashier, Mr.. Davis if the check was

man then said:-"Please certify it, as l do not
wish to use it now" The check was accord
ingly certified. A day or two since it was re-
turned to this city from the Hanover Bank, New
York, where 1t had been paid in good faith by
Mr.. John T. Barker, cashier of the bank, and a
former resident Of this city. When Mr.. Varlck
made up his account he ascertained that he was

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1867-07-08

We wonder that The Ne,c- York Times
should indorse the silly idea that the Queen
of England is likely to be compelled to abdi-
cate, in consequence of the discomfort of her
subjects arising out of her neglect of that
Court pageantry in which the aristocracy take
such prodigous delight. Whatever changes
may have taken place in the English mind on
the abstract question of the usefulness of roy
atty, it is notorious that no monarch who has
ever sat on the throne of England has had a
firmer hold on the affections of the people than
Queen Victoria and it is well known that the
causes which have lowered her in the esti-
nation of the nobility and their myr-
midOns have contributed TO strengthen
her popularity with the masses, for whom the
snowy but hollow ceremOnials of State have
lost the attractiveness they once possessed.

THE DEATH OF MAXIMILLAM.


We nudge that even the semi barbarous Mex
lean military chiefs whose momentary accord
has secured the overthrow of the Empire must
soon awake to a conviction that their slaugh-
ter of Macmillan was grievOus mistake 1t is
quite probable that Europe will substantially
unite in a Judgment of outlawTy against them
that the government of Juarez will not be al
lowed to maintain even a consul in any con-
siderable port of 0ld-W World ChIistendom. The
N. y Times remarks:
"Tho intensity Of The feeling which the murder Of
Prince Macmillan hal created throughout Europels not
10 be measured by the mourning ceremonial ordered by
the Courts Of the eadtg Powers, That Observance how
ever the less t6& Of the popular sentiment OF
dinatiOn awakened by the tragedy or Qcretaro can DO
no greater England France Austria than II IS

those who were most disposed 10 credit the Lberals FAC
tiOn in Mexico with th, qualities OF courage ana moe
country prosperous AMI cOntened under republican
form OF government there Is but one sentiment OK
preston The violent death of Macmillan was denanGe
OF the sentiment OF ChrstcndOm outrage upon evil
zaton and insoentdisregad OF CLAIMS whch our us
interested friendship had established
The journal which thus forciblY reprobates
the execution of Macmillan has as vigorously
demanded the execution OF JeiiersCSl DAVIS:
yet impartial pullicists perceive and proclaim
the substantial identity of the leases oil the
two chieftans. Macmillan was called to the
throne of Mexico by the aristocratic reactlonary
Church party of that country, as Jefferson DAVIS
was made President by the rcactiOnary Pro-
Slavery faction then dominant in the South
but the election of Davis was decidedly the
more spontaneous, and was heartily backed by
larger segment of our people than was that
which in Mexico upheld Macmillan The
accession of Davis to power paved the way lor
that of Max; the downfall of the former was
the death knell of the latter, Each OF them
had forfeited his life according to estab-
lished usage in dealing with defeated revolu-
tionary aspirants; and each, while III power,
had issued sangunaIy p9Gcnmatons against
his opponents which seem to us not justified 10y
the law of nations But Dayiss fall was the
more complete, in that the essential cause
Slavery for which he struggled has practically
and finally ceased to exist, while the Church is
sin power in Mexico and quite likely again to
make head against the Liberals. There was a
chance. while Max lived that his name would
prove the potent watchword of a mllitan' fac
ton in Mexico; there is no shadow of danger
! That Davis will ever again be the chief OF an
insurrcctionary demonstration against the in
tegrity Of the Union. We submit, therefore,
that Tic 7imeSs dcnunciati0ns of the shooting
of Maximilian may fairly be read in pungent
criticism of the policy it urged upon our Gov
eminent with regard to Jefferson Davis.

WESTFRN CORNFIELDS.

We learn from Western papers, and from
travellers, that the corn is doing remarkably
well. The ground having dried so as to per
NIT second working the roots now are strik-
ing deep and spreading broad, while the dark
green blades are fluttering in the breeze and
shining in the SUM- Everywhere, it is from two
to three weeks late. The retarded germ presses
forward with vgor it would not have ex-
hibited if planting had been done in season.
In the Arctic Zone, grass and flowers push
through the melting snow, and, before the Icy
cold riyulets flow freely, the forests and the
glades are green. The travellers say that the
corn laughs Everywhere, the hot July lays
the foundation, if no mishap befall of an album
dant harvest in September.
The Importance of the Western corn crop
was never over-estimated. Upon it rests pros
perity in trade and finance. 1t makes beer,
pork, mutton, and wool it gives heart TO the
dairy, muscle to men, and it freights fleets.
IL is the spinal column of American COM
merce. Few have an idea of the vastness of our
Western corn-felds. They spread through the
Scioto, Muskingum, and Miami bottoms, and
interlock for 300 miles along the borders oil
Indiana and Ohio They are to be found
through the wide valleys of the White River
and the Wabash, and interspersed with the oak
timber to the verge of the Grand Prairie. Al
most equally extensive are they on the beautiful
.prairies of Northern Indiana and Southern
Michigan, completing region 400 by go miles.
If this is a broad country of corn, much broader
is that of Illinois and Wisconsin; for here the fields
extend55OmiIes in one direction and20O another.
The soil has no superior the globe for 1t IS OF an
average depth of two feet, and rs favorable for

gland valley. Black and spongy, the foot presses
on il as on a bed of moss. There, in a thousand
localities, one may stand on rising ground, and
between him and the faint horizon OF timber,
he will see nothing but corn. 1t is true there
are other crops which elsewhere would be called
enormous, but, in comparison, they are nslgnlh-
cant.
This is not all On his iron seat, the Western
farmer drives, across his own land, the flashing,
red two-horse cultiyator, 800 miles west of the
Mississippi, TO the banks of the Big Blue in
Kansas He is also seen driving across Iowa,
and is even following after the track-layers OF
tbe Pacific Railroad in Nebraska. You may
SEQ him, Also crossing the fertile plateaus OF
Minnesota toward the st. Peters and the VII
lagos of the savages of the Red River OF the
North; for here, the isothermal line brings
warm air from the Southwest, permitting
corn to mature. 1t is true that on the extreme
borders, and on much intervening ground, wide
sections remain to be cultivated; still, the
pioneers are there; others will follow rapidly
and I'll all the vacancies If all the Western
corn fields were placed together there would
be q solid block of corn at least 200 miles
