The Savannah Daily Herald. S. W. Mason <fc Cos PitorairroK* ItWH. W. Masok, Editor SAVANNAH, FRIDAY. MAY 26, 1965. Our Mexican Relations. —Louis De Arro yo, in a communication to tiie New lork Times, makes some statements which from his character as commissioner from Maximi lian may be received as reliable and final, and which will show that the American public has been widely misled in regard to the ac tion of the new Mexican Government. The Commissioner now in this country from the Emperor Maximilian denies, in the most ex plicit manner, the statement that any portion of the Mexican territory has been ceded to France, and assserts also that Dr. Gwin has neither received any cession of land, nor any title whatever, and that, in fact, he has never had any relations or interviews with the Em peror, or with the members of his govern ment. Upon the frame high authority tie more recent report of negotiations between Maximilian and the rebel General, Kirby Smith, is flatly and positively contradicted. The Times remarks: ‘"These assuranees are timely, and will aid in defeating the fool ish attempts made in some quarters to excite popular hostility against nations with which we have thus far maintained pacific relations." Tue Assassination Trial' —As this great trial proceeds, proof grows stronger and stronger every day that Davis and bis indi vidual subordinates have been connected with all the atrocious piots for burning Northern cities, and doubtless with those also for murdering Northern Statesmen. The New York Times in an editorial ar ticle of May i9tb, says: There are points of interest in the testi mony taken yesterday. One refers to an alleged communication made by the witness, W« iehman. to an officer of the War De partment respecting ihe plot, before the as sassination. Another points directly to Da vis, as having indorsed the “detached ser vice” scheme in a note addressed to Benja min, bis Secretary of State. The note has been produced before the court, and the handwriting is sworn to. THE COURTS. SECOND PROVOST COURT—JCDOE BENEDICT PRE SIDING. Tiihdrsday, May2'»th, 1805. Mrs. Sarah Fox vs. Edward Coyne.

The case of Cfias W, Lee vs Mrs. A. Smith was continued. Groat aftftoyuuco is caused to travelleis by tbe continued existence of tbe United States passport system iu Liverpool. The war lieing virtually ended, the system should be abolished. It is out of existence in France, Germany and in civilized countries generally. In some cases, passengers for this country on the steamers have been put ashore at Queenstown, to get their passports vised. The Memphis Argus has reliable informa tion that the rebel Gen. Forrest was killed at Parkville, Ala., on the 13th, by four of bis own men, to avenge the death of six of their comrades, ordered shot by Forrest, the day before, for exulting over the news of Johnston's surrender, which Forrest did not believe. All the papers and other documents com prising the mortality rolls of the Surgeon- General of the Confederate States, were aban doned by Dr. Moorr, at Charlotte, North Carolina, and were cuptured by the Federal authorities. They have been sent on to the War Department. A dispatch dated Montreal, May 17, states that George N. Sanders is arranging for a permanent residence there. The same dis patch states that the Dr. Blackburn who shipped the poisoned clothes from Bermuda, is notTmnhlety Blackburn who resided there, but went to Bermuda when tire fever was raging. Trade with the South under the new regu iancma, opened briskly. From the Ist tothe Wh mst., inclusive, tifty-two vessels, exclusive oi the government transports, have s o port ot ‘ New Yoff for ports in the South hitherto closed to commerce and not yet opened to foreign trade. The vapidity with which President Johnson wIT vith ?i ÜbhC bußl “ es 9 is remarked by all who visit the executive office. He takes Md of every routine matter in the order in it comes up and finishes it in a ino“ tnCnt with the aid of two clerks. aID i The rise in the Mississippi river has forced the levees, and the watei now covers the immense area from the Red river to Donald sonville and the Gulf stream, from 30 to 50 miles in width. The suffering occasioned bv this overflow is terrible, and the destruction of property beyond description. Wendell Phillips tells the tax-gatherer that he 1? worth $702,000, • Tlicat»itills lti the North-K«w York. It is very well kuown to the public that the theatres in New York City w ere the first, in all the laud, of all public buildings closed as a mark of respect to the memory of President Lincoln. This was done by their own voluntary act, for the managers felt not alone the pangs of grief which struck to the heart of every true aud loyal nmn, but they were still more deeply grieved, be cause one who had been partially recognized as a member of their own profession, had •been the murderer. It is true that the Super intendent of Police, of New York, issued an order shutting up all places of amusement, but his messengers found every respectable place already closed, the order having been an ticipated by tbe prompt action of theMauagers and Proprietors of the leading houses. Only tbe Concert Saloons and certain other low places of that, sort required the interference of the poiice to compel them to temporarily give up their business. , For ten days the Theatres, etc., remained sealed so tbe amusement seekers, at a loss to each proprietor of many thousand dollars, not one penny of which, we verily believe, was regretted by any one of the many loyal managers. It has ever been the boast of the Theatri cal Profession, that whatever may be the faults and shortcomings of its members in other respects, no professional actor's name was ever yet found on the roll of felons. No actor certainly was ever yet hanged in America, and we believe tbe anflrla of the Slates' Prisons and Penitentiaries of our country can show no actor's name. We mean professional actors—men who were recognised by Thespian artists as belonging to their profession—of course there have been vagabonds come to grief who have, for a few months, at some time of their worth less lives, hung about theatres until their character being discovered they would be kicked out; but these were no more “actors” than the boy who sweeps out a doctor’s office is of necessity, a professional surgeon. It is absolute]}’ true, that no profession can show a record so clear from crime as that one whose business tis to “hold the mirror up to Nature.” And, though John Wilkes Booth was never considered a regular professional, still, the historic name he bore, and the fact that he has played occasional spasmodic engagements in legiti mate theatres, sufficed to give him a certain acknowledged status among actors, the effect of -which can never be removed, and thus it comes that the theatrical men and women have a double mourning. For ten days, much longer than they were required to do by the Police Regulations, did the theatres keep their doors closed, and they simultaneously re-opened in New York on Monday the 24tlj of May. Wallaces’* Theatre.— Mr. John Lester Wallack, who has been afflicted by very se vere illness, so as for four months to incapa citate him for acting, has at last re-appeared. He played “Don Felix” in “The Wonder” to a house as full as could be. His appearance was the signal for a storm of Applause, for the relations of “Wallaces" to the public are such that W.hfle the company are among themselves a happy family, they are so well known and appreciated by their patrons that the illness of one of them is* regretted as if each of the audience had to mourn the mis fortune of a personal friend. Ho Lester Wal lack got a huge “reception. ” Still the papers say that he is yet snffering from some dis ease of the throat which interferes with his articulation and freedom of elocution and that facial action which was formerly the greatest charm of his acting. Miss Gannon’s performance qf ’*Flcit} ’ is also spoken of as being perfect which we can easily befleye; at last accounts they with some modem pieces were running the old Sterling English Comedies, “She Stoops to Conquer,” “Love and Money,” “How she loves Him,” “ Central Park’l etc.” Niulo’b Garden is running Maggie Mitchell with “Fanchon, the Cricket," as her leading piece. Wjster Garobn. Barton Hill is running a piece called “The Grey Lady of Peuarvon.” The papers criflcipe jt sharply and say it is the weakest thing Tom Taylor has ever written. Effie Germon and Mrs. J. W. Wal lock are in the Company. Broadwav Theatre. Mr John Owens has resumed his personations of “Solon Shimrie” here. Olympic. Mrs John Wood has made a hit with the spectacle of “The Sleeping Beau ty" which is said to b? quite a miracle of fai ry scenic effecls. The two Bowerys are doing the sensation dramas, and the Minstrel Halls are doing their Customary Burnt Cork Opera all to splendid Houses. Barncm has hU Museum ever toll of some thing attractive—just’ now his “Chicken Show is over, ands he is undecided what to do next, but is in eager negotiation for the dress of Mrs. Davis in which Jeff, tried to get away from Wilson’s sharp-eyed cavalry. It will be worth a small fortune to him if he gets it: Fhe Havel F amilt, who have been the delight of the public for a score or two of years, have again returned from France, and will open at Niblo son the 18th of Septem ber, in a series oi their well-known panto mimes.

[From Taylor in Manchester Guardian ] John Leech.—Exhibition of his original SKETCHES NOW OFFERED FOR SALE. —Messrs. Christie's rooms have been crowded for sever al days by persons anxious to have a look at tbe original sketches of Leech, with whose designs in the wood impressions of Fund. they have been so lonz familiar. The exhi bition consist of three parts. A considerable number of water colored drawings form a range above the rest all round the room, af fording proof of what one had often heard regarding the sketcher’s ambition to be a colo rist. Unhappily they amount only to a dem onstration ot his invincible inaptitude in that behalf. Ido not remember having ever seen anything much worse in their way. They are said to be enlargements by the well known mechanical process of printing on an elactic surface from the small size drawings of which we have seen so many, during the last twenty-years. But the coloring is al most invariably flat,- dull inartistic, anti in short stupid; and the only sensation one brings away from beholding them is that of anger at the want of judgment displayed in thus parading them in public. The next class of Leech’s pi eductions are those by whose imprints he may be best re membered, the series of political caricatures as they originally came from the prolific pen cil. As striking and suggestive materials for study, they are no doubt highly valuable.— But in very few instances is the effect they produce at all equal to that of the woodcut. There is also an irresistible sense of sadness caused by looking at this collection of dead jokes. In nine cases .out of ten tbe fun lias all evaporated; and it requires a considerable effort of political recollection to get near the point of view requisite to appreciate their meaning. Leech had humor, not wit; aud his political humor consisted in giving, by a few strokes, embodiment to the most gener ally obvious absurdity ot the hour. The foolery or the foppery passes away; and is obliterated by the ten thousand like fooleries Wd fopperies that come after; and the pleas antry that wp fecpgnize of a Wednesday eyening ten years ago has wholly fled when we try back upon it. The grotesque atti tudes remain, ahd the extravagant dispropor tions; but that is all. Spare rem§rfcab}e exceptions indeed there are, where the Caricature contains & criticism on character instead of an embodiment of a mere passing grin or blunder. “A slight liberty taken with a weU-kftowu statue” and “In training for the session” are inimitable illustrations of this. In the former Lord Brougham is portrayed in the attitude of Apollo Belvide, with a Bond street hat and other accessories of dress of the time when he aspired to the ro|e pf a fascinating man about town. In the latter he is described in boxing dress, with gloves on, sparring with the lay figure Which is his own image. The learned Lord’s features it is impossible to mistake or miss ; but in the many sketches of Lord Palmerston I did not recognize one that could be called a successful hit as a like ness. After all, Leech’s caricatures do not deserve to be named with those of H. B. The third portion of the collection offered for sale, as it is tbe largest, is by tar tbe best, {t eoijsispi pf g multitude ot origiual sketches of social life that baye cotfiriflutefl plainly to the popularity of the journal in whose pages their transcripts appeared.' They are a per fect wilderness of grace, originality, aqd kindly expression of feeling. It was here that the artist really excelled; and for my part I am only sorry thtyt to these alone pub lic attention has not been called, The Liverpool Post says that “J. Wilkt s Booth was the first actor to whose Miss Bateman ever played Juliet , and so good was he in the part that Mr. Bateman had serious thoughts of engaging him forth ejeune premier characters, ana bringing him to England to act with Miss Bateman. Some little trifle in terrupted this engagement, which, had it been carried oqt, might perhaps have preven ted the execution of a leaf by ope of the greatest men of the time has fallen a yic tim, and might, have influenced the welfare of a hemisphere.” The light draught monitor faka which has been under way for a number of months, at Kalghn s Point, Philadelphia, was launched on Thursday. She is 225 feet long, 45 feet breadth of beam, and nine feet eight inches depth oi hold. She is constructed as to ar mor, &c., in the same manner as the moni tors constructed at Chester. Kensington and other places. The gunboat Swatara will be launched at tile Philadelphia Navy-yard early next week. She is about 1,000 tons, and is built for speed, long and narrow, with a sharp bow.

Savannah, May 26. OI " 1VER ts. STATES SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN. THlia SERIES, TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS. By authority of the Secretaryof the Treasury, the undersigned, the General Subscription Agent for the sale of United States Securities, offers to tbe public the third series ol Treasury Notes, bearing sevep and three-tenths per cent, interest per annum, known as the SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN These notes are issued under date of July 15,1965, and are payable three years from that date In cuiren-, cy, or are convertible at the option of the holder into U. S. FIVE-TWENTY SIX PER CENT. GOLD-BEARING BONDS. These Bonds are now worth a handsome premium, and are exempt, as are all the Government Bonds, from State, County, and Municipal taxation, which adds from one. to three per cent, per annum to their vulue, cording to the rate levied upon other property Ta* interest is payable semi-annually by coupons attached to each note, which ipay be cut off and sold to any bank or banker. The interest at 7.30 per cent, amounts t« One cent per day on a $6.0 pate. Two cents per day on a SIOO not#. Ten cents per day on a SSOO note. Twenty cents per day on a SI,OOO note. One Dollar per day on a SO,OOO note. Notes of ail the denominations named will be prompt ly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions. The Notes of this Third Series are precisely similai in form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties already sold, except that the Government reserves to itself the option of paying interest in gold coin at C per cent,, in stead of 6 3-10ths in currency.
