states that President Juarcz and his Cabi-

for the capital, where he would bs receiv-

republican principles of Mexico.
The steamer Wilderness left here this
morning. having on board Madame Juarez,
Senior Romero, brother OF the Mexican
Minister and bearer ofimportsnt dispatches
TO President Jusrez, Senor Santatillo, SON

Mr.. Robinson, of New Orleans Rcpub-
lican, and Emily Lazcre, an ex-confederate,

the Tchuantepec Railroad grant notoriety,
were the bearers of United States dispatches
so often and SO mystcriously alluded to.
Lazcre. il is understood, is stillin the inter

AN INTERESTING BIT OF HIS
TORE

The history of the original Reconstruc-
ton Act has at last come out, through
Stanbery's friends, and can he relied upon
rs correct. Atthe request Ofthe President,
Stanbery wrote veto, couched in very
mild terms, compared with the one sent
to Congress. johnson submitted it 10 his
Democratic friends in Congress, who were
greately dissatisfied. and persuaded the
President to call IE Jerry Black. The lat
ter took ii, cut out the main body of Mr..
Stanbery's argument, and inserted in its
place the fiery rhetoric and sweeping de-
nunciation which characterizes that docu-
ment. On discovering this, Stanbery was
greatly incensed and for time an open
rupture was imminent, but at length the
President succeeded in smoothing the
matter over. Mr.. Stanbery is understood
to claim that there is a great difference
between a mere legal opinion upon the
construction Of law and an approval
thereof He says he did not desire tho
President to reinstate the officers displaced
by Sheridan, nor, so far as he knew, did
any member of the cabinet. The frien(s s
of Mr.. Stsnbcry are very anxious to have
1t understood that Jerry Black wrote the
veto, so as to relieve the former from the
awkward position i'm which the supposition
that he was its author places him.

Testimony O0cred Gy the Defence
WASHINGTON, July IO-Thc defence ol
Surratt certainly begins in a very weak
manner. They have now occupied one
fourth of the time they said they won ID
want for presenting their case, and as yet
have accomplished nothing.
The greater part Of to-day's session ol
the court was occupied in the examination
Of persons who think the reputation OF
Lippstt is bad. He was one of the Gov
ernmcnt Witnesses, and swore that he heard
Mrs. Surratt say once that she would give
one thousand dollars for the assassination
of Lincoln. The witnesses called against
him were all, with one exception, rebel
sympathiZers and personal enemies of Lip
pett's.
Several persons were sworn as to the
character Of Cleaver, another or the Gov
ernment witnesses. who says he saw Sur
raft on the day of the assassination. He
was tried last spring for rape and man
slaughter. found guilty, sentenced, and has
been granted new trial because the YER
dict was not founded on evidence but on
Cleavers general reputation, which is by
no means good. He Is well enough known
TO every man on the jury, and the prosecu-
ton will probably not make much effort 10
give him good standing.
Two or three more witnesses were call
ell against John Lee. who also swore to
seeing Surra.t that Friday. Government
can probably find as many men to sustain
his character as the defence have brought

Proceedings Of the Court Martial
6y Which the Prisoners tCcrc Con-

New York, July l0.-The following are
additional details of the execution of Maxi
milan and his associates:
At six o'clock on the morning Of the
10Th, the troops of Escobedo formed short
distance from the city for the execution OF
Maximilian and his Generals, the people
of Querstaro fiocked by thousands to see
tho closing scenes. At seven o'clock the
bells toll and announce that the prisoners
have left their prisons for the last time,
and are on their way to their execution.
After few moments they appear, drawn
in carriages, and having a large guard
around them, the Emperor first, Miramon
next, and Meiia last. The carriages stop,
and the prisoners get out. Among the
conclave one can hardly see dry eye.
Tokens of dissatisfaction are manifested.
Maximilian, on alighting, is saluted by
the people. In an easy and graceful man
ner and with an elastic step, he marched
to the fatal spot. In taking his position,
the Emperor spoke in clear, firm manner,
and with nothing of bravado He seemed
to feel his situation, and said when he WAS
first waited upon at home by the deputa
ton from Mexico who came with credentials
offering him the government ofthe country,
he refused. At subsequent meeting the
proposition was again presented, and he
replied that if convinced that the majority
thought it was to their interest to place
him at the head of the Government, he
might consent. Another deputation wait
ed upon him, and broGht additional testi-
monials. Upon advice from the Powers
of Europe, who told him that there was
no other course to pursue, he accepted the
call. He denied that the Court that tried
him had right to do 90. His was case
of good faith. The nations of the world
had pledged their faith to him. He never

for the Government of Mexico. In con-
clusion, ne hoped his blood would stop the
eifusion of blood in the country,
Miramon spoke from paper. He told
them that he was no traitor, but had always
opposed the Liberal principles, and always
been against the disorder of the country.
He shonld die as he had lived, a Conserva-
tive, satisfied TO die for his country. The
fame of his acts would live, and posterity
would judge whether he was right or
wrong. He closed with the words:
"ViUe ld Emperor! ViCc td Werj-
cor"
Mejia made no address. He went to
Escobedo and said he would diepoor; that
he had never made an effort TO make mon :
ey. His only wealth consisted In forty
cattle in the mountains. He asked that
the merchants of Matamoras, to whom he
owed considerable, would not press his
wife 10 pay his debts when she came into
possession Oft money left her by the
kindness ofthe Emperor.
NEW ORLEANS, July 10.-The Browns
vile RdnchcrO OF the 4th publishes the
proceedings Of the Court Martial that tried
Mayimilian and his Generals. The Court
was composed ola Lieutenant Colonel as
President, with six Captains; Judge AdvO-
cate, Lieutenant Colonel Manual Asperce.
The prisoners were tried separately, each
plea complaining Of the jurisdiction of the
Court, and protesting against the refusal
Of the right to appeal.
Msximilian was confined TO his bed when
his case was called, his being the last.
He was ably defended by Senior Enlibo
Ortegs, who refuted the charges OF Maxi
mlian's usurpation and cruelty. He said
the law of the Sd of October was made
when Maximilian was cheated into the
belief that Juarez had abandoned the ter
ritory, and that one article of that law
was dictated by the French Commander
in-chief He said that law of October
Sd was only intended as a terror, and
there never had been petition for pardon,
but it had been granted. He asked the
members of the Court in the name of civil
ization, which will judge of the deeds
done this day; as defenders of the indepen-
dence of Mexico, to save the name OF the
country in the eyes of the coming genera
lions. They will forever applaud the crown
ing of their greatest victories.
Jesus Maria Vasquesa, one of Maximil-
ian counsel, closed his argument as follows:
IF you condemn him to death, am not
uneasy about coalition IN Europe, or the
attitude the United Ststes may assume
towards the Republic. 1 have confidence
in the Liberals, but fear universal reproach
that will fall upon our country as an
anathama more than the sentence of death |

STATE DEBT REDEMPTION

Gen. w. Q Gresham announces in our
advertising columns that he is ready TO re-
deem, at the Indiana State Agency in the
City of New York, all the outstanding two
and onc-half per cent stocks of the State,
amounting, We understand, to about ST.
lS3, 900
The Auditor Of State, in his last annual
report, estimated that if the two and a-half
per cents could be redeemed the present
year, the five per cents could be paid OF
by the year 1871. We think that such will
be the case, without drawing anything from
the general fund, but at the present rate of
taxation it is probable that surplus OF
of that funi will be annually applicable to
the reduction of the public debt, in which
case it may be al! liquidatad in advance of
the period fixed by the Auditor. 1t will
be remembered that the Legislature OF s65
provided for levy twenty cents on the
hundred dollars Of taxable property, for
the reduction of the old internal improve
ment debt. which is to be annually collect
ed until that debt is fully paid, except 90
purchased for the school fund, for which
non negotiable bonds are Issued, the inter
est whereof is TO be paid by the State and
90 into the tuition fund of the common
schools.
Since the Republican party was entrust-
ed with the administration ofthe State Gov
ernment. ii has paid, including the redemp-
ton of the two and half per cents now in
progress, oyer S3,5Oo,OOO of the public
debt, besides S2S5, 900 of the amount plum
dered from the school fund by the Demo
cratic administration of 1857 and 1858.
During the long period in which the Dem
ocratic party was in power, it paid next TO
nothing on the principle OF the debt, and
often borrowed money to pay the interest
One of its exploits in that line is historically
recorded in the preamble Of the act of
March Z, 1867, to consolidate the indebted
ness of the State TO the sinking fund,
which reads as follows:
WHEREAS, On the 22d day of June,
1868, for the payment Of interest on the
State debt, the State of Indiana, by its
State officers, borrowed Of the sinking
fund, giving their bond therefor, the sum
of one hundred and six;y-five thousand
dollars, which, tcith interest to the 29th
of January, 1867, amounted to t,oO hun
drcd and sicty four thousand and
one hundred and ten dollars"
Here was an increase Of debt i'm the item
of interest on interest, in the sum of S99,-

SOLDIERS CLAINs.-Soldiers generally
suppose that they must employ some claim
agent or lawyer to adjust, settle and collect
their claims against the United States. OF
course they can do SO, if they wish, but it is
wholly unnecessary, as the United States
employs and pays small army of clerks to
do this business, free of charge to the soldier.
All any soldier has to do is to write letter
directed "Second Auditor, Washington, D.
c." stating his company, regiment, state,
&C.. and any pertinent fact connected with
his case. From this letter the proper clerk,
in Washington, will adjust his claim, from
the rolls OF his company, on file, and fill up
and forward to him the necessary blank for
him to sign, with all necessary direc
tions. Every soldier CAM if he pleases, thus
attend to his own business, and save al
costs and risks attendant upon employing
other parties to do it for him.
