Murdered

Mazimilion has been shot by order of
Gen. Eseobedo, commanding the Liberal
army of Mexico In view of all the sur
rOundings, this IS one Of the most atrociOus
murders of the age, and is sufficient cause
for every christian nation or people to with
draw their sympathy for the suGerings of
the foolish Mezicans The unfortunate
Arch Duke was put to death on the 18th of
June last The Emperor of France is greatly
to blame for being instrumental in bringing
about the death of so distinguished per-
son; for he whispered words Of promise
into the almost unwilling ears of the am
bilious and gallant Austrian. French
troops placed Maximiliou upon a seemingly
safe foundation IN Mexico, and it was the
Emperor Of France who called those troops
away and left the Arch Duke, so to speak,
helpless and alone; certainly the now muir
dered Duke had no other hope-of success.
His wife, seeing the treaehery practiced
upon her husband, was driven to insanity,
and now lies PROSTATE at the very jaws of
death, unconscious Of her husbands fate
What a sad picture this is A few brief
years ago Maximilion came to Mexico with
all the pomp and circumstance of war;
backed by the proudest, and we may say,
the meanest nations of the old world. What
was the programme The Arch Duke was
to conquer the country, make it tributary to
one or two of the moneyless crowns, form
an alliance with the then struggling Con
federate States as soon as their independ-
ence was a fixed fact, and thus present to
the world an unbrOken front, behind which
slavery was to be perpetuated The South
ern army began to loose ground, and at that
very time, or as soon as the fact was known,
the hackers of Maximilion evinced signs of
treachery, which, on the 10Th of last month,
eliminated and resulted in the death of the
man whom they had sworn to protect
Louis Napoleon has cast a cloud over his
own fame, and future history viii not tend
to brighten the page on which is printed a
record of his Mexican enterprise The
murder of the Arch Duke is a direct insult
to the United States, and may bring on an
unpleasant troversy-ending no one
knows where; perhaps in difficulty

ANOTHER PRooLAMATIoN-Last week,
upon sound legal advice, the secretary of
the Conservative State Executive Committee
issued circular, telling the County Courts
throughout the state that it was their lawful
right to appoint judges of election, nOtwith-
standing the language of the 10th section
of the franchise law This worked up the
bile in the Parson-Governor and caused him
to beleh forth one of his peculiar proclama-
tions. He warns the Courts to do no such
thing, and tells them that they viii be pun
ished if they presume to make such appoint
ments, as the franchise act says it is the
duty of the registration officer to select
judges of election. The noodle, is just
what the Governor wanted, for it gave him
opportunity to say to Gen. Cooper, and who
he is we do not know nor care, that he must
so dispose of the loyal militia that they can
guard the polls on the day of election The
code says that the County Court shall APP
point judges of election-BrOwnlow and
the franchise law say the Court shall not

CoRRECTIoN.-Dr VIM Thompson, of Nc
Marry, called upon us last Monday for the
purpose of having us correct a statement
made in the Bulletin two or three weeks
ago. We willingly comply, as it is our desire
to act impartially and just towards all men,
We had been informed that the Doctor, on ac-
count of political Conserva-
tism-had been notified by some unknown
person or persons to leave his home. Our
informant was in error, for the Doctor tells
US that no such notice was served upon
him. True, there was difficulty, but it grew
out of personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
having nothing to do with the matter

such reports as the one corrected above !;

ever they chance 20 be better informed.

The DIFFERENCE.-It is often charged by
northern papers and northern politicians
that the white people of the south are ex-
cessively cruel to negroes, and that they new
er fail to visit upon them, for the slightest
provOcation, all manner of punishment, even
putting them to death for a seeming ofFense
What is the truth in the case2 No longer
ago than last week, at Shawneetowr, Kan
sas, negro was tied to a stake and burnt to
death for attempting to commit an outrage
upon female Alexander Polk, a negro,
did violate the person of lady in this coun-
ty week before last was arrested, carried
before the Circuit Court, had counsel fur
nished by the Court was given fair and
impartial trial. was convicted on positive
proof, and sent to the State prison-not to be
tied to stake and bunt-but for twenty
one years The law said this should be done
Does the law of " bleeding Kansas, of
" free Kansas" say that a negro shall be
burnt to death for attempting to do what
the black devil, Polk, did do? or, did the
southern negroes friends lynch the Kansas
freedman and put him to death without Civ
ing him fair and impartial trial? We ask
