SANTA ANNA AND MEXICO.
The 1 Indelicate if not impudent proposi
tion of Santa Anna to the Mexican people i
to expel Maximilian and accept bis leader
ship in establishing a Republic will bare the
good effect of again inviting the attention of
the public, to the perfidy and sordidness
which have characterized bis entire political
life. He labors very ingeniously in his re
cent address to bis countrymen to cover up
his disgraceful record, and to commend him-
- self as the only living Mexican capable of
extricating them from the alleged perils of
their present situation. But we imagine be
will find it difficult, with all his Jesuitical
cunning, to regain the confidence of a people
whose interests be has betrayed so often. For
tunately there are not wanting in this country
prominent Mexicans, espousing the liberal
cause, who are capable of exposing bis an
tecedents so fully, as to prevent the accom
plishment of his unpatriotic and selfish pur
poses. Seme of them arc already engaged
in the work and have published a synopsis
of documents which are calculated to place
tiio ex-Cnief in a bad light. These docu
ments include his remarkable letter to the
Mexican Regency, giving in his cohesion to
Maximilian, and his address to bis country
men takes the same ground.
In one of these documents he speaks of
Maximilian as “the illustrious prince de
signed in the sublime counsels of divine
Providence, to raise the nation from the
ubjss of miWortune into which she has
been; plunged by anarchy. In another he
says:
“The people, wearied with the anarchy of
half a century, with false promises and fine
theories, anxious to have a paternal govern
ment, just and enlightened, proclaimed with
enthusiasm the re-establishment of the Em
pire of the Montezumas by a dynasty of royal
extraction, voting at once for Emperor the
illustrious Prince Maximilian, Archduke of
Austria. The demagogues, in their despera
tion, are exhausting the resources that they
are able to use, believing that by combating
they are defending Mexican independence;
but the day will arrive when they will find
out that patriotism was not on their side in
the present struggle.”
He then goes on to say that he came to the
pountry to give “new proof of the respect I
i to the national will now so in agreement
belief and convictionand he warns
aen to “guard in their memory
aimous monarch (Napoleon) who
aded to you his powerful hand so
ielv and generously.” He tells them
tempts to form a republic have
only brought “ discredit and desolation in
Ariieri-a, ’ while “constitutional monarchy”
has given “better and more lasting fruit.”
Santa Anna landed in Mexico after its con
quest by the French, under a solemn promise
to take no part in political affairs. His ad
dress, from which the above quotations are
made, was regarded by the French General
as sneh an interference, and a ship was
placed r.i his disposal to take him out of the
country. He went to 8t. Thomas, find imme
diately fulminated another address, under
<late of July 8th, 1864. After stating that he
“never deceived them," he explains hi9 con
duct in Mexico.
He stated that he “adhered to the system
of government which appeared to be pro
claimed by a considerable majority;” but he
“soon found it a painful error,” and he now
contemplates with pride “your struggle for
life with the invaders of your country, the
soldiers called forth by the intervention.”
It will be rerpembered that the Mexican
residents of New York city, about two months
since, convened at the house of the Mexican
Consul, and passed a series of resolutions,
characterizing the traitor as an odious tyrant,
who had “betrayed the cause of native inde
pendence and abused the public power” in
Mexico, and that “his name alone would be
sufficient to stain the noble cause the Mexi
can people are struggling to maintain.”
if additional evidence were needed to ex
pose the true character of this heartless
wretch, it may be found in those bloody
pages of Texas history reciting the massacre
by tus orders of those gallant Texans who
surrendered at Goliad and the Alamo, and
for which he should have been executed
as a murderer when captured at San Jacinto.

Minority Report ot Ike Reconstruction
Committee.
Washington, Jane 19.—Tbe President to-day sent
the nomination to toe Senate of Gov. Holden, of North
Carolina, as Minister to San Salvador. .
In the House Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, called np the
motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill to ea.
tablisli a National Bureau of Education was rejected,
and the question being put, the motion prevailed—
yeas 76, nays 49. The bill was then read a third time
and passed—yeas 30, nays 44.
Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, presented to the House
the minority report of the Committee on Reconstruc
tion. It is a long document, consisting of an elaborate
argument in tavor of the President's policy, and the
immediate admission of the South to representation.
It takes the ground that a State can neither be with
drawn nor be expelled from tbe IJnion—that the war
was to preserve, not to destroy, the States. The re
port concludes with an eulogy of the purity of the mo
tives of President Johnson. The remainder of the
session of the House was occupied by the considera
tion of the New Army Bill.

U nderwood.
A correspondent, writing from Herkimer, New York,
the native place of Underwood, gives a brief sketch 0*
the past history of this now notorious person, from
which we make the following extract. Tdo read er will
recollect this as copied verbatim from a No rthern
paper, and is an accurate estimate of Underi rood’s
standing where he was born
The unworthy and disgraceful charge of Jud; je Un
derwood to the Grand Jury of the United Status Dis
trict Court at Richmond, which appears in the New
York papers of to-day, induces me to inform yriuand
your readers who this Underwood is, and wh at his
past history has been. Here, where he is knowi 1, it is
not necessary, but the public should have soLae in
formation us to what kind of a man he is, and in what
estimation he was held.
Underwood was born in this county (Herkimer coun
ty, New York,) and remained a resident here until
about the year 1850. After being admitted to t'be bar
be opened an office in this village. The precise time
is not now recollected, but it must have been about
the year 1838. At that time he was a member of the
Whig party. From his defeat for office in the Whig
party, he became a famous abolitionist, and down to
the time he lelt the county he was an Abbey Killer
Foster abolitionist. He opened a law office, hut he
never was able, us a lawyer, to command the respect
of his lellow-cltizens. He was without clients, and
mainly because he was a lazy drone, and because there
was a general feeling in the community that his in
tegrity could not be relied upon. So low had lie sunk
in that respect in the estimation of his townsmen that
his name was a reproach, and his presence was con
sidered no compliment, and his character was 30 pro
tection to him from open iusults in the streets. At
one ti me some mischievous boys in this village did to
him what they would never have thought of doing to
any man of respectable standing in the village.
They drove a donkey into his office and left him ihere
alt night.
Failing as a lawyer, and having plenty of leisure, he
made himself conspicuous in the abolition movement,
and occasionally delivered abolition aud temperance
lectures, until at last, driveu to the necessity of doing
something for a living, he purchased some standing
wood and commenced getting out wood and Lies fur
the Railroad Company.
While in practice here, among other stories cur
rently told of him, as characteristic of the man, was
one to this effect: An ignorant old man wanted to buy
or complete his title to a lot of land in this town, the
fee ot which was owned by an estate, the a -ent of
which resided In Albany. He gave Underwood the
money to take to Albany to make the purchase or get
the deed lor him. Underwood ouine bai l; with the
contract or title in his own name, and represented to
—® ^ man that he could uot, on account ot some
difficulty got the land tor him; but he found that he
could purchase it for himself, and did so in iiis own
name, but he would sell the laud for an advanced
Pri-.e, which the oid man was compelled to give in
order to get the land.
Finally, starved out, he broke up and went with his
Lundy to Virgiuia, Fauquier county, I believe, to live
upon some lauds which belonged to his wile So iar
as he was personally concerned, no one having respect
tor himself, cared for him or regretted his leaving It
was considered a happy riddance, and when he had
gone there was a general feeling in this county that it
had got rid of a nuisance. He held the office of
trustee of a school district in this village, and as such
was entrusted with some of the funds of the district
aud ho applied them to his own use. When called
upon by his successor iu office to account for the
mouf'-j, lie could not do it, uud, idler jcpeattd do
mantis upon him for the money und failing to got it
his successor sued him before a justice aud recovered
judgment, which, after considerable, delay, was col
lected on execution. On another occasion he collected
money for a client, and on being written to by h«ia to
know if the collection was made, he replied that the
money was net collected, und his client was lod to be
lieve by Underwoo.; that he had lulled to collect the
money; aud some time after he had left the county
his client called upon other attorneys to collect the
amount, when on investigation it was found that this
worthy, whom the war has brought to the surface as a
judge, hud collected tha
aud had gone to Virgin
upon to pay over, ah
pleading that he had A
no one knowing him hi
I have said he went
to his wife. She is a lady
came acquainted while teaching school m Virginia,
and to whom ho was married about 1330. She is a
Virginian, and is honorably connected, beiDg a double-
cousin of the late great Confederate General Stone
wall Jackson. Underwood continued to reside on his
wife's lands until 1856, when he turned up as a dele
gate lrom Virginia iu the Nationalal Republican Con
vention which nominated Fremont for President. He,
of course, had no constituents. He was a self-styled
delegate taking his seat in that Convention, and very
naturally such a course ou his part excited some sur
prise aud indignation among his Virginia neighbors,
who, on seeing his name announced as a candidate to
that Convention,at some meeting held in his neighbor
hood. passed resolutions indignantly denying that
he was authorized to express or represent the senti
ment of any portion of the people of Virginia in that
Convention.
He was at once adopted by the Republican disorgan
izes as au instrument to be used by them, and none
more pliant or base could be lound; and the next we I
hear of him we find him appointed to some agency iu
a Virginia Emigration Society, then founded” in New
York. Too lazy to work, he lound his connection with
this society more suitable to his taste and disposition 1 „
than the drudgery of a farm life in Virginia The ■ < * ence - corner Taylor and Price streets, THIS HORN-
