THE M12XICAN QUF.STIOlf-A CHANCE
FOR AVAR.
Wcsce it stated that the Austrian Minister
at Washington has advertised his furnished
house and other effects for sale, it is under
stood, with the expectation of receiving his
passportsat an early day tojleare the country.
Mr. Seward has admonished the Austri
Government that no more troops must be
sent from that country to Mexico, and Austria
probably consulting her own wishes about the
matter rather than the threats of the United
States, has sent forward troops, which are ex
pectcd to arrive at an early day. Their land
ing in Mexico will create an occasion for the
United State? either to stand up to, or back
down from, her recent notification.
Wo take it for granted that the adminis
tration intends, in such a contingency, to
make good its word.
This status of affairs only strengthens us
in the conviction which we have had from the
beginning, that the United States would, soon
er or later, be compelled either to gjvo up
her rigid notions as contained in the Monroe
Doctrine, or go to war about Mexico. We
think the principle of that doctrine unten
able, and we have rather hoped to see our
Government recede from it gracefully, or at
least modify its views; but we can see noth
ing in public ^sentiment to encourage the be
lief that it will do either. Whether reason
ably so or not, it is clear that a large majori
ty of the people of the United States are op
posed to tho erection of an empire in Mexico,
and that without reference to any benefit
the people of that countiy may derive from the
change. The government of Maxmilion,
it is conceded on all hands, has been marked
by wisdom, equity, and moderation, and a
sincere desire for the welfare of the Mexican
people; but these considerations have but
little weight when considered in connection
with Republican pride and policy. Our peo
ple have, somehow, taken np an idea that
monarchy in Mexico will be prejudicial to
republicanism in the United States. We have
never seen the proposition logically proved,
and the argument is by no means complimen
tary to free institutions. But still it controls
tbe minds of our people, and we think they
are agreed that eventually Maximilian,with all
his imperial paraphernalia, must quit Mexico,
or sustain himself in opposition to the Amer
ican armies.
This is not a pleasant prospect, and we shall
regret to see the day arrive when matters shall
be brought to that dread arbitrament. And
for two reasons. The first is, we believe that
in such a contest our country would be in the
wrong. Secondly, we shall be shouldering ^
war of infinitely greater magnitude than
many of us now anticipate. We shall fight
not Maximilian alone, nor combined with his
ally, Austria, for it will be impossible for
France to hold .aloof from the quarrel. We
think we may rest assured that no matter who
goes to Mexico to aid Maximilian, the mo
ment the foot of an American soldier is plant-
on Mexican soil with hostile intentions, that
moment Louis Napoleon will consider himself
absolved from the obligation of neutrality, and
send forth his nrmy and navy to sustain the
government lie has erected, and in whose
stability his honor is involved.
The Mexican question, viewed in this as
pect, becomes a serious matter. AVc hope our
Government will have the prudence and good
judgment to steer clear of the breakers ahead.

FIYE AVIIITES AND THIRTY NEGROES j the report of the: Reconstruction Committee,
~tt t declare in advance that they will accept
j of no such terms. The committee did not
set out to fix up a plan to please the leaders
in the rebellion; but suppo.-c Congress adopts
the report, submits it to the people of Geor
gia, and the loyal men of the State proceed
to organize a State Government in accordance
with it, what will these “hot heads’ do ?—
AVill they secede again, and cut out for Bra
zil ? AYe hope so.— Gridin Union.
Our old friend, “Uncle Sandy,” has been
“hoaning” after tho Union so long that we
fear his brains have become a little muddy
on the subject of constitutional checks and
balances, if indeed, lie has not forgotten that
there is such a thing as a constitution at all.
AYe would remind him that constitu
amendments arc not referred to and ratified
by the “people” of the States, but by the
Legislatures. How the “loyal men” of Geor
gia will “proceed to form a State govern
ment” whilst we already have one, we think
it would puzzle our old friend to explain. It
may not be amiss to suggest to him just here
that we have such a tiring in Georgia as a
law for “Treason against the State,” and it
would be well for him and his little corpo
ral’s guard, who would set up a government
under the Reconstruction bill against Jenkins
and the present Legislature, to bear that par
ticular statute in mind.
GREAT RIOT IN MEMPHIS.
KILLED.
BURNING OF THE NEGRO DWELLINGS
SCHOOL HOUSES AND CHURCHES.
A REGIAIENT NEEDED TO QUELL THE
MOB.
AVc have been kindly permitted, says the
Nashville Press & Times, of the 4tli instant,
to use the following dispatch sent to Gover
nor Brownlow from Memphis:
Memphis, Alay 3.—There lias been mneb
riot and disturbance in the city. I hope wc
shall be able to qnell it The civil and mil
itary authorities arc busy in their efforts to
suppress the outbreak. The riot had its or
igin between the city police and a squad of
djaduugncl colored soldiers. .
It commenced about four o’clock in the af
ternoon on the lstinst, in the southern part
of the city. Up to 2 o’clock to-day, there have
been some five whites and thirty negroes
killed.
Last night there were about thirty tene
ments, churches, and school houses, occupied
by negroes, burned by the mob. Tho vio
lence is so great at least one thousand white
troops re needed. Gen. Stoncman has only a
small command of regulars here on duty.
For God’s sake, do all you can to give us
a Metropolitan Police force, and then all will
come right Unless we get it Shelby county
will relapse into barbarianisra and brutality.
Dispatch to the Associated Press.
Memphis, May 3.—About thirty houses
occupied by colored people, and all the school
houses in South Memphis were pulled down
or burned last night Ten were killed dur
ing the night. Everything is quiet this
morning, and it is hoped order is fully re
stored. The negroes nearly all fled to the
woods last night, but are returning this
morning.
Special dispatch to the Louisville Courier.
Memphis, May 2.—The excitement in re
gard to the riot has increased to-day. The
city is full of harem-scarem rumors.
The first that came this morning was that
the negroes had taken possession ofFort Pick
ering and captured four hundred guns. This
proved to lie false. The fight, however, was
renewed this morning between seven and nine
o’clock. The negroes seemed to be desperate
and bent on carrying the contest to tbe bitter
end. Tbe citizens are perfectly willing that
it should be so.
The most reliable and plausible reports
from those who bnvc been engaged in the
action state tliat abont two hours before dny-
light tbe negroes.went to Fort Pickering, de
manding arms and ammunition. They were
refused and left. Shortly after daylight they
appeared at the fort again repeating their de
mand, when tlie commandant of tbe fort
called oat the troops, and threatened to give
them some doses of grape shot. At this they
left.
The fighting began again to-day, on South
street, near Causy, and continued all morning,
the negroes being driven beyond tho limits
of the town. The number ol negroes killed
is estimated at from thirteen to fifteen. I
have positive information of six. One white
man has been killed and two wounded, but
it is impossible to obtain their names.
Tbe Mayor called out a pone comitalus of
two hundred men. The crowd gathered at
the gun store of Henry Fulsome thismoming,
which was then closed, demanded it to be
opened, as they wished to procure arms; and
upon a refusal drove in a panned and cleaned
tbe store of all tbe pistols and guns.
The negroes tbis.morningcarrfed with them
black flag, which they waved defiantly at
the citizens. It is supposed to be a piece of
black muslin.
The following appears in the Evening Led
ger: “A gentleman who resides in tbe country,
some twopty-five miles from this city, discov
ered, on night before last, that several of his
negro employees had deserted him. Tracing
them to this city, lie found one of them this
morning in a dying condition, from a wound
he received in tbe fight last night. The dying
negro stated that the trouble last niglit was
premeditated; that lie and his companions
came down to assist in it, and that it came on
prematurely. To-night, lie said, the plan was
to attack tbe city, and rob all of tbe jewelry
stores and other houses.”
The negro lias since died. The report is
not very generally believed among the citi
zens.
A white man named B. C. Dennis was shot
dead to-day in Center Alley, by some one yet
at large. It is said that he was talking to a
negro about tho riot, and was misunderstood
by’anotlicr white man, who deliberately shot
the deceased, the ball entering the breast and
ranging toward the heart.
A man named Alike Ken an was caught run
ning from the spot, and, upon being taken to
tlie Station-House, was released. The jury
returned the verdict—“ Murdered by some
unknown person.”
During the riot to-day four negro tenements
were fired and totally destroyed. The fight
ing ceased at 13 M. to-day. All is now quiet.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Memphis, Alay 2.—During the day reports
have been in circulation to the effect that to
night the firemen of tlie city intended burn
ing every negro shanty in Niggerville, a set
tlement of negroes just outside ot the cor
poration, west of the city, of nenrly a mile
square.
The work ot destruction has begun, and it
is feared that not a shanty will be left stand
ing by morning. This indiscriminate act will
result in turning hundreds ot poor negro
women and children out doors. A large force
of armed men left a few moments ago for the
scene of destruction.

Remarkable Case—A Cliiia
two Mothers.
A remarkable case is now on trial befdre
the Superior Court at Hartford, Cqnn. The
particulars are given by the Hartford Post as
follows:
A lady, Mrs. Deshon, now 3Irs. Mary Jane
Rand, residing in Boston, had a boy by her
first husband The boy had several singular
marks on his person, and also a serious im
pediment in bis speech. AVhen the child was
five and a half years old it died suddenly,
while its mother was asleep. The sin
gular appearance of the boy led her to have
un autopsy made, and she afterward
prosecuted tho attending physician and
apothecary who had furnished the med
icine. Rufus Choate was her counsel
at tliih time. Some two or three years after,
Airs. Rand observed a child in Boston which
resembled hers so closely that she followed it
for some time, but finally lost sight of it and
its attendants. Two years or more elapsed
before she beard of it again, and then found
out that it was in . the asylum for the deaf
and dumb in this city, being a charity pupil
from the State of Massachusetts. A picture
of her husband, whom she claims was the
father of this child, was shown to him, when
he instantly exclaimed, as well as he could,
and in the preceuce of several witnesses,
“That’s my father; he lives in Boston.”
A careful examination has been made of
the l>oy by a physiemn who attended him
during a three months’ sickness, and he says
that “God might have made two persons so
near alike, but this was the first instance of
the kind that had co re to his knowledge.”
The marks upon the boy now hero corres
pond exactly to those upon the one he at
tended, and who was amicted with a serious
rupture, which the boy at the asylum has
also. Mrs. Rand's testimony occupied the
court during the entire day of Tuesday, and
her counsel, Mr. Eaton, has considerable more
testimony to introduce, which he thinks can
not fail to convince any reasonable man that
the child of Mrs. Rand was taken away whilst
the mother slept and another ono substituted.
On the other hand, the putative mother,
Mrs. Phillips, Staples, AVilder and Frost, she
having been married several times, claims to
be able to substantiate her claim to tho boy,
who she says is hers by Air. Frost. He was
admitted to the asylum some four years ago,
under the name of Edward Frost, and is now
thirteen years ol age, and, as wc have said
before, as a charity pupil of Alassachusctts,
but during the trip his mother, or she who
claims to be such, lias paid little or no atten
tion to him. ,
The case is ono of the strangest on record,
and will probably last for several days, and a
great deal of interest is manifested in the re
sult.
Arrest of Henry C. AVheeler, Alledgeil De
faulter.
Boston, Tuesday, Alay 1.
On AVedncsday last, Deputy Sheriff Dear
born arrested, on a writ of ne ertat, Henry C.
AVheeler, of New York city, on board the
steamer Asia, just as she was about sailing
from this port, under tlie following circum
stances :
Mr. AVheeler is President of the Brunswick
and Florida Railroad, and is also connected
with tlie project of the Atchison and Pike’s
Peak Railroad Company, in whose favor the
writ was issued, and who claim that AVheeler
has withheld and secreted bonds to the sum
of §200,000, and tliat he was about to emlwrk
for a foreign land.
The writ was issued by the Supreme Judi
cial Court, before which tribunal AVhciler
was taken, and in default of furnishing bonds
to tin- amount ot §200.00“ for his future ap
pearance, lie was committed to jail. It is
probable that he will be brought before the
Supreme Court at an early day. on a writ of
habeas corpus,and his bail will be reduced to
enable him to obtain the same.
^It is proposed in the Senate to dis
continue the Branch Alint at New Orleans,
and to remove the machinery and fixtures to
Carson City. Nevada, for the mint to be erect
ed at tliat place.

From tho London Times April IS
The President’s Proclamation of Peace
English Opinions on the Civil Rights Ilii!.
So important are the questions at issue be
tween the American President and Congress,
so absorbing is tbe conflict, that matters ol’
foreign policy are for tlie time almost disre
garded. There is less indignation to be
spared for tbe occupation of Alexico and tlie
wrongs of the fugitive Juarez; even the
chance of a dispute with England on tho
Coast Fisheries does not seem to excite the
combative spirit of tbe country. Hardly in
the midst of the war were the American peo
ple more fully engaged in their own domestic
politics, and hardly then were thev of greater
moment. The proclamation of' President
Johnson,which declares that peace is restored
in the Southern States, and that thev have
again entered the Union with all their rights
and on a perfect equality with those of tlie
North, must give employment, tu tho political
energy of the country lor a longtime to come.
1 IftmZin the light of reason amlhumanitv the
President's proclamation deserves all praise ;
viewed as a political manifesto it must be
judged by the success it obtains. It is hardly
possible to deny the doctrines which the
President enunciates. The war was undoubt
edly waged, as lie says, to maintain the Union
with all the dignity and equality oftlie rights
of the States unimpaired, and it is equally
undeniable that as soon as these objects were
accomplished it ought to cease. The Presi
dent’s opinions respecting standing armies,
military occupation, martial law, military
tribunals, and suspension of the habeas corpus,
will hardly be controverted by any reasona
ble politician. But though Mr. Johnson is
said to have the public opinion ot the North
on his side, as he undoubtedly has thatef
Europe; though his policy has called into
existence a strong feeling of gratitude and
admiration among the Southerners, who,
though now weak and fidlen must one day
be powerful friends to any statesman they
support; yet it is evident that Congress is
bitterly hostile, • and that its leaders will
shrink from no measures to carry out their
own policy, and to thwart, if they cannot
punish, their adversary. It will be seen from
our intelligence of to-day that the Senate has
passed the Civil Rights bill over the Presi
dent’s veto by a majority of 33 to 15. It is
almost certain that the House of Representa
tives will do the same. This measure, which
the President argued against so energetical
ly and eloquently, will therefore soon be law.
It is, in reality, a most important change in
the Constitution. It overthrows completely
the doctrine of State independence. By pass
ing it, Congress lias arrogated to itself pow
ers which nowhere appear in that sacred
document to which Americans continually
appeal. If the Civil Rights Act be carried
out as its authors desire, there will be in ev
ery Southern State an authority over-riding
the State authority, a law nullifying the State
laws, an influence not derived from the peo
ple, but exercised by a Federal Executive,
through a legislation in which the Southern
States had no share. There can be only ono
ground on which such a domination can be
imposed, and that is the right of conquest.—
To do the leaders of the Republican party
justice, they do not shrink from uttering the
word. They have always held that the South
ern States were conquered, and that they
may be dealt with according to the will of
the victors, restrained only by the laws of
morality, and not by any political rights
which may be supposed to belong to the van
quished.
■M' * * It may be that the President has
not public opinion nt the North so much on
his side as is believed by some of his friends.
Though the Atlantic cities are, for the most
part, enthusiastic in his favor, yet through
out tlie States, and notably in the AVest, the
Republican Party is most powerful, and is
likely to remain so. There is probably a
steady set of the tide in favor of the President,
"but it will take time for this movemenc to
bring to his side a clear majority of the peo
ple, and to enable lrim to withstand the ac
tion of Congress. AVe may then watch his
proceedings with interest, and observe how
far he aids or permits the action oftlie ma
chinery which this act will shortly establish
in every Southern State. AVe may assume
that Air. Johnson will, as Chief of the Execu
tive, give as little assistance as he can to a
law which invades the judicial power of eve
ry Southern State. Yet. on the other hand,
he may not thinkit constitutional to nullify
such a law by any overt act. His course most
likely will be to leave those who made the
law enforce it, if they can, against the will of
the population, and to hold hiniscll neutral
in disputes which are not of his making.

tival on the tweii!;. Mill anniversary of the
establishment of that journal, said: .“Henry
J. Raymond (pre.-ent proprietor of the New

The German question presented a much

RUSSIA.
There were great rejoicings at St. Peters
burg aud elsewhere on account of tlie Empe
ror's escape from assassination.
Tbe man who attempted tH Emperor's life
is a Ru- -iau landowner ot small means, who
considered himself injured by the emancipa
tion of the serfs.
He discharged the pistol within a few feet
of tbe Emperor, and the shot would have
probably taken effect bad not a peasant
turned aside tlie assassin’s arm. This pea
sant had been ennobled.
It is said that the Emperor, with perfect
presence of mind, himself seized the culprit,
asking him quietly. “AVhat have I ever done
to you that you should seek my life 5"
