JUAREz.-President Juarez was buried
IN the same cemetery where lies the
BODY OF OK President Miramon, shot by

ticing that Jusrez, who had doomed 20
many men to sudden death, died at last
as suddenly as though he had been shot
by vindiotive bullet. Maximilian, the
brilliant. reckless Miramon, Vidawon,
the ablest Mexican General of the pre.
sent generation, and Mejia, the grim In
dian, who remained faithful to the En-
peror when men OF better reputation
betrayed him, were only few of the
victims whose deathwarrant Jusrez
signed. Whatever may be said in favor
OF Juarez, however much his energy.

praised, he was certainly as merciless as

SENATOR Ss1ALLs' DEFsNCE.-Senator
Smalls is charged on the Treasury books
with drawing $500 from the armed force
fund. Like his rival, Gen. Whipper, he
promptly comes forward, and denies
having rendered any services which
could properly be charged to that elastic
fund. Mr.. Smalls did get the $500, but
1t was for labor and expenses in organ
izing the militia. This sum should have
been charged to the militia appropria.
ton. Once more, therefore, Governor
Scott is convicted OF the penal offence of
misappropriating the public money.

how much it cost to defeat the resolu-

to buy enough votes to kill the impeach-
