Spanish Soldiers for Maximilian.—

Mexican Consol at Havana is enlisting Span

Vera Cruz. They aro offered a bounty of $20,

Vera Cruz. About three hundred men had
been enlisted, and they were to sail on the

An Item in Congressional Proceedings.
We notice in the Baltimore Gazette the fol
lowing item:
/ito»«fr.--Tlio petition of James L. Sew-
snl, member of Congress elect from Georgia,
aud others, was presented and referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary. The petition
ask* that the disability to hold office under
the provisions of the Constitutional Amend
ment be removed in their cases. Air. Sher
man, who presented their petition, stated that
this could not be done until the Constitu
tional Amendment was adopted.
■James L. Seward is not ‘*a member elect
of Congress from Georgia, though no doubt
he would like to be, a fact pretty clearly evi
denced by this application. Our friend Sew
ard never had a fancy for staying at home
whenevera distinction was available at Wasli-
iujjton or Milledgeville. We agree with our
.contemporary of the Atlanta Intelligencer,
that petitions of Southern men to Congress
be permitted to hold office arc, incur judg-
ascot, under existing circumstances, ill-timed,
and wo regret to sec that any such have been
(•resented to that body.

grounds, is a lasting disgrace on the
American Senate. Never before in our
history lias that body prostituted itself to
such base purposes. It has heretofore been
iia practice to look to per-onal qualifications
alone, and nobody expected tho President to
nominate anybody bnl his political friends to
carry out his own policy. The Radicals of

degradation, humiliation and ruin as was
never before inflicted upon any people. But
there is a tide in the affairs of nations as well
as of men, nnd we must trust that, iu His own
good time, God will bring order out of con
fusion nnd jnstico from opprcision—that lie
will rebuke our oppressors, and punish them,
by opening their eyes to their own moral de

complete, for, like the punishment of Cain, it
will be greater than they can bear. A

Washington, April 3.—The Executive ses
sion of the Senate is somewhat stormy. The
Radical Senators favor the rejection of nomi
nations as fast as they come in, until the Pres

of good men, regardless of politics. No roles
of action have been adopted, and each Sena

and to use every lawful means in their power
to defeat the call.

Central Committee, on ascertaining that re
sult, shall issue a call for district meetings,
to be held in every election district in the

Makyj.and and the Constitutional
Amendment.—The lengthy report anil reso
lut ions which have passed the House of Dele
gates of Maryland on the subject of federal
relations, and adverse to the amendment to
the United States constitution submitted by
Congress, reaffirming the chief provisions of
the civil rights bill, reducing the basis of
representation to the extent of all males
twenty-one years old, excluding from voting,
and disqualifying certain clusses from hold
ing office, were also adopted by tho Senate 5d
the last hours of the session. The joint legk
lative committee, in their report, review the
subject very fully and ably. In the outset
they say:
The State of Maryland has the deepest in
terest in the speedy and peaceful restoration
of friendly relations and interconrse between
all the States and sections of the Union. Her
geographical position, her intimate connec
tions in trade, commerce and travel with all
portions of the Union, ns well as her patriotic
desire for the prosperity and happiness of the
whole country, would induce her to make
every possible sacrifice to promote the great
objects of the Federal constitution. These
are declared to be “to establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, prot ide for tliq common
defense, promote the general welfare; and se
cure the blessings of libertyjto onrsclves and
onr posterity.” We have to confess that we
arc unable to discover any possible tendency
in the proposed amendment to promote any
of theso indispensable requisites of goodgov-
ernment.
Tlie fihal resolution is as follows:
Resolved by the General Assembly of Ma
ryland, That the Legislature of tins State
doth hereby refuse its ratification of the said
proposed amendment to the constitution of
the United ptgtes.
The Governor is directed to transmit a cer
tified copy to the United States Secretary of
State and the Executive of each of the seve
ral States.
Maximilian certainly displays a great
deal of chivalry in fighting for his Empire
in Mexico when the whole French army, that
escorted him to that country and established
him in power and sustained him, lias returned
across the ocean, leaving him to his fete. His
present attitude commands respect and admi
ration. And now, if he is a Hernando Cortes,
he may immortalize liis name.
