From the Brownsville Ranchero. Juarez's Reply to President John son—No Mercy for Maximilian. Sa'n Ltiis Potosi. Mexico, j April 22, 1867. j Slß—l bad the honor, yesterday, to receive the communication which you sent me from New Orleans on the 6th instant. . , , „ You informed me in that, for rea> sons which were unde-stood, you did not come to present to the President of the Republic, your credentials as special messenger and Minister 1 leni potentiary of tho United States, and that* you have been in New Orleans grace December last. The Oovern. aiest of the Republic regrets that those reasons should have prevented Vou from coming to present your cre dentials, in order to commence the du ties of your office, for it would be veiy satisfactory for the Government to re. ceive you in your character of refre sentativeof the United States. You also informed me that tho sat isfaction with which the Government of the United States looked on the re treat of the French from Mexico, and the advance of the army of the Consti. tutional Government towards the eaoi. til, has been diet wbed by information received concerning the severity used with the prisoners of war taken at San Jacinto. You also mentioned, that it was the desire of the United States Government, that in case Maximilian and bis partizans were captured, thev should be treated handsomely, as pri soners of war The enemies of the Republic, wish, ing to produce an unfavorable impres sion of the same, have endeavored to falsify and spread inaccurate informal tioo concerning the case of the prison ers of San Jaeinio. The greater part of them, a considerable number, were pardoned, but punishment was meted out to some cf them. They were n:t looked upon simply as prisoners of war, but as offenders again H the laws of nations, and of tne Republic. They had ju*t abandoned themselves to every kind of excess and crime in the city of Zacatecas, because they were fighting like filibuste s, without country, without flag, and as moreen. - r .v _ Mexicans who ritfend their iedepeo. dence and their institutions. Some, not a few. of those foreigners taken at San Jacinto, were conducted to Zacatecas, whe.c they have been treated with much benev,deuce, the some as those taken at Jalisco have been and are treated, because there were not so many circumstances of special culpability. The constant conduct of the Gov. eminent of the Republic, and that ob served by the officers of her armies, has been to respect, life* and treat with the greatest consid ration the prison era taken from the French lorces, but on their part, and by order of their principal chiefs, they frequently asaas. sinated prisoners taken from the lie publican forces. M«ut tl*»o,«ltUut fclic ncwenMiy OT dll ific pr(i goners from the French forces have bpen generously set at liberty. Many of the principal officers of th<- French forces have ordered the burn' 'ing down of whole cities. Others were decimated by what were criled courtmartials, and, at times, for a sim ple suspicion, without the least appear ance of justice, they put to death in defensible persons and old men who were not able to bear arms against them. Notwithstanding this the Gov ernment of tho Republic iitiri her of ficers in general, far from retaliating as they were provoked to do, have ever observed tho most humane con duot, giving constant examples of the greatest generosity. In this manner the Republican cause in Mexico has excited the sympathies of all civilized races. The French gone, the Archduke Maximilian has desired to continue shedding the blood of Mexicans.. With the exception of three or tour cit'cs yet domineered by force, ho has Recn the entire Republic rise against him Notwithstanding this, ho has denied to continue the work of desolation and Tuin by a civil war without object, sur- ! rounded by some men known by their plunderings and grave assassinations, and the most forward in bringing mis fortunes on the Republic. In case there be captured persons on whom rest Buch responsibilities, it dees not seem likely that they can be considered as simple prisoners of war, for these are responsibilities defi icd by the laws of nations, and by the laws of the Republic. The govern (cent, which has given many proofs o( Us principles of humanity, and senti ments of generosity, is also obliged to eonsider, according to the circumstan ces of the eases, what the principles of justice demand, and the dut os which it has to perfo: m for the welfare of tho Mexican pet pie. The Government of the Republic hopes that, with the justification of its aeta, it will! continuo to have the Sympathies of the people and Govern ment of the United States, who have been and are held in the highest esti mation of the people and Government of Mexico. I have £be honor to be, very respect fully, your obedient servant. Sebestian Tejada. To Lewis I*.

Lot every friend of the South Georgia & Florida Rnilroad, now rio his duty. Don’t take it for granted that every body will voto for the Rail road ; but know for a certainty, that its friends are largely in the majority, and use your influence on every occa sion to increase ihat majority. Instead of 8200,000 as we erroneously suppos* ed the County authorized to subscribe, the act of the Legislature limits her to one hundred thousand dnllats. 1 his is a small amount for so wealthy a county to subscribe, but the remainder must be mado up by private subscrip tions—and we believe it will be done. The 81000 private list has reached Sib.OOO and the §s'io list is rapidly gaining ground. There are at least fifty men in the County who ought to sign the first, and one hundred who ought to sign the last. Dr. Bower is engineering both these lists, and de serves much credit for the energy he | has displayed ; but he should be en couraged by a corresponding liberality , on the part of those who are to be • benefitted by bis labor. sq ßemember Professor Kayton’s agent leaves to-morrow (Saturday.) night for Savannah.

Mondez was executed by order of Escobedo, on the 16th Cam pas was shot a few hours after the amputation of his leg. When Maximilian gave up his sword to Escobedo, he said ; “I surrender to you my sword, owing to aa infamous treason, without whioh tomorrow's •uu would have seen yours in my bauds ’’ Escobedo ordered a court martial to assemble on the 29th for trial.

The following !* Maximilian's proc lamation : ‘Countrymen —After the valor and patriotism of the Republican forces have destroyed n y sceptre in this place, in which tenacirus defence was indispensable to save the honor of my esuse and of my race ; and after the bloody seige in which the Imperial and Republican soldiers have competed i in abnegation and boldness, I ; will explain myself. Countrymen —I came to Mexico, not only animated with the best of faith, insuring the felicity of a l and each of us, but called and pro tected by the Emperor of France, .Na poleon 111. He. to the ridicule of France, abandoned me cowardly and infamously, by demand of the United States, after having uselessly sf*nt forces tnd treasure, and shed the blood of tier sons and your own. When the news of my fall and death reaches Europe, all the monarchs of Charlemagne’s country will demand of i the Napoleon dynasty an account of my blood, and of the German, Belgian and French bloodshed in Mexico.— Then will be the end soon before the world—Napoleon 111 will be covereJ with shame from head to foot. To-day he has already seen His Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, my august brother praying for my life to the United j States, and myself a pris >ner ot war in the hands of a Republican govern ment, and with my crown on my head tlrn in pieces. Countrymen, here arc my last words : I desire that my blood may regenerate Mexico, and eci,o aa a warning to all the ambitious aud incautious, ana mu you will ac with prudence and truthfulness, and ennoble with your virtues the political cause of the flag you sustain. May Providence sustain you, and make you worthy of myself. (Signed) MAXIMILIAN. More About the Jeff. Davis Disguise. The Portland Argus publishes the following: I am no admirer of Jeff. Davis; I am a Yankee, born between Sacoarap pa and Gorham Corner, am full of Yankee prejudices, but I think it , wicked to lie even about him, or for that matter about the devil. I was with the party that captured Jeff. Davis—saw the whole transaction from it* begining. I now say, and hope that you will publish it, that Jeff. Davis did not have on at the time lie was taken any garment such as is worn by women, lie did have over his shoulder a water-proof article nf clo thing, something like a “ Havelock.’’ It was not in the least concealed. He wore a hat, and did not carry a pail of water on his head, nor carry pail, bucket nor kettle in any way To tho best of my recollection, ho carried nothing whatever in his hands. His wife did not tell any person rl at her husband might hurt somebody if ho got exasperated. She bcha«cd like a lady, and ho as a gentleman, though manif. stly ho was chagrined at being taken into custody. Our soldiers behaved liko gentlemen as they were, and our officers like honor able, bravo men ; and tho foolish sto. rios that went the nowspaper rounds of tho day telling how wolfish ly ho deported himself, were all false, 1 know what lam writing about. I saw Jefferson Davis many tunes while he was staying in Portland several years ago, and think that l was tho first one who rocognized him at the time of his arrest. When it was khown that ho was certainly taken, some newspaper coi responoent—l knew his name at the time—fabricated tho story about tho disguise in an old woman's dress. I heard the whole mutter talked over as a good joke, and the officers, who know better, never took the trouble to deny it. Perhaps they thought the Confederate President deserved all the oontenipt that could be put upon him. 1 think so too, only 1 would never perpotrato a falsehood that by any uiojbs would beooine history. And further, I would never slander a woman who haa shown so much de votion as Mrs. Davis has to her hus band, no matter how wieked ho is or may havo been. I defy any person to find a single officer or soldier who was present at the eapturo of Jeff. Davis, who will say, upon honor, that he was disguised .into woman's cloth s, pf that his wife acted in any way unlady-like or un dignified on that occasion. I go for trying Jym for hia crimes, and if he is found guilty punishing him. But I would not lie about him when the truth will certainly make it bad enough. James 11. Parker. Elburuvilfe, Pa., May 9.1867. General Robert E. Lee for Presi dent. Tho Evanville (Indiana) Daily Sentinel on the Border, one of whose editors was an officer in the Federal army duting the war, writes a double leaded leader in favor of General Robert E. Lee for President in 1868. It says . We to-day nominate General Robert E. Lee, of Virginia, as our favorite for President in 1868. General Lee stands before the world an American nobleman ; a Christian without ostenation, and a soldier with, out a peer, living or dead We ask not whether this purest and noblest of living Americans led forth the legioni of Virginia in defence of his native State in an aggressive war upon its sovereignty by the Federalist of tho North, or whether paitisan legislation has stricken down his rights as a citizen in the Fedcralistic system of centralization. Me see only the man, witfi iii.* spotless purity of char, aeter, nobility of person, true Chris tian great lies" and peerless honor. Acknowledged at home and abroad as the greote-t and purest among us, we deem him most amply qualifyed to administer with dignity and truth the principles tor wK : q!i -hi:, illustrious kinsman, George Washington, fought, and which 'he bitter pas-ions of de generite sons have so long imperiled. | Gen ral Robort E. Lee is the first ! choice of a grand army of Deinoctats ; m the North who are not afrai 1 to urge I Iris claim before the country for that i position for which God especially ei). dowed him. The timid men of the ; party may tremble when his name is spoken, I ut the brave applaud. We believe that General Lee’s tiomi- I nation by the Democrats ot the North | would be bailed wi'h delight by every ! lovei of true manhood and nobility ot I character throughout the world. The Last of Impeachmont. Tne Judiciary'Commitreo tomporia -1 ly ceased its labors this afternoon, a | resolution to adjourn until the 2 th j inst, having been adopted without ; opposition. Before adjourning the j question cimo up whether or not the | evidence received by the Committee I ju-tified the impeachment of President I Johnson, and it was decided in the : negative. Those who voted in the a'- | firmative were Messrs. Bontwell, Mas sachusetts ; Williams. Pennsylvania ; Lawrence. Ohio, and Thomas, Murv« land; in the negative, Messrs. Wilson, lowa, Chairman Woodridge, Vermont; 1 Church'll, New York; Eldridge, Wis consin,and Marshall, liiin os—the two latter the Democratic members of the [ Committee. Immediately afterward, ; one of the Republicans who voted against the impeachment offered a res- I i..iau to me eiiect tnat president Johnson was worthy the censure of the House of Representatives, and un worthy the confidence of the people of the country. At first the gentlemen who voted in favor of impeaching were opposed to this resolution, because they thought they would be stultifying themselves in view of the previous resolve of the Committee, but a't r a little conversa tion they w thdrew their objections and the resolution was adopted, yeas 7, nays 2, a strict party vote. It is a singular fact that tiie new Republican member of the Committee, hurchill, voted against tne impeachment, lie was put on the Committee by Mr. Cob fax in place of Uook, Republican, who was in the Committee in the last Con. gress and is said to favor impeachment Cook was put on the Committee on Elections so that Marshall from the same State, ono of the ablest Demo crats in the House, could be put on tl e j Judiciary Committee. The Committee, it is reported, did not take all the evidence that was of fered by those who wore under tho impression they could prove the com plicity of Mr Johnson with the nssa*- sins of Mr Lincoln, tho Cotrmitice taking the ground that by tho resolu tions of the House they were not uu< thorized to investigate fully that charge. Most of the members of tho Com i mittoe have gone home. Messrs. But. lor and Ashley, the two leaders for j impeachment, lecl badly over the re- j suit of tho deliberations of the Com mittee, but they assert they will bring 1 tho question up in Congress, and have a square vote on it. Majority and minority report* will hn presented, to getlier with the testimony, and after the members have had time to ex amine both, these gentlemen will en deavor to have every mini in the house recorded on the question as to whioh is right, the majority or minority report ot the Judiciary Committee.

New Orleans, June 7. —The Ram chero of June 1, publishes a letter da ied Sun Luis Potosi, May 8, which states that private negotiations, some days previous to the turrendor. had been going on between three Imperial Generals and the Liberals, to sell one of the principal forts for 813,000. — Gen. Miguel Lopez, who was high in the confidence of Maximilian, was the principal actor in this treaty, and caus ed the surrender. Sdtillo dates to the 26th of May, says that the L beta Is now admit, that up to the 7th, the Imperialists were successful in every engagement. From that time to the 15th, nothing import ant transpired. Escobedo says that 15,000 prison, ers surrendered, including 13 general officers, and SUO officers of inferior grades. He states that no fighting whatever occurred, and the only shots fired were by the traitors upon their companions in arms. The surrender of the garrison was complete. Lopez acted as escort to the Em. press, was uncle to Bazaine, and bosom Inend to Maximilian, who was god father to his first child. By his prow, css he won the cross of the Legion of Honor. The Attempted Assassination of the Emperor and Ciur. —N. York, June B.—The Herald's special from Paris, dated yesterday, says the imperial par. ty had a very narrow escape, tne ball passing in a line between two of the distinguished personages, and wound ing a lady standing in the stieet. The horse ridden by a groom in waiting was w unded in the head immediately after the discharge, and the blood spurted on the iniper al uniform. The assassin attempted a second shot, when die pistol burst. He is aP. le, con), ing from Belgium, and without accom plices in Paris. The police saved his life from an enraged populace. A magnificent ball was given at the Rus sian embassy the same evening. The Czar, with his sons, and the Empeior and Empress of France, were p esent, with the members of the Russian le> gation. The royal party were con gratulated on their escape. Cost of Registration.—The cost of registration, it is now said, greatly ex ceeds tha first estimates. The N. Y. tlcruld’s correspondent says : The estimate of 82,000,000 to de. fray the expen-scs of registration, pre viously forwarded to the Herald, will, as then stated, fall immeasurably short ol the amount required for the expen sive job. Officers of the Quartermas ter's Department with whom I have conversed, and who can best form an estimate of tho real expense that may be incurred, state that half a million dollars will scarcely cover the amount required for Virginia afone. At this rate five millions —instead ot five hun dred thousand, as appropriated bv Congress will Do uurifiy sutlioient to complete the ‘job ” From the National Intelligencer. A Despotic Order. It is difficult to restrain within the limits of rational discussion our indig nation at the extraordinary order of General Schofield, which puts the whole civil system of Virginia—the courts, the police, the sheriffs, the con stables, in a word all the officials of the State, under the supervision, not sim ply of General Schofield, but of his petty subalterns. A more despotic act we can h idly conceive of. If the Executive proposes to retain tho re spect of thoso who believe in ‘‘liberty regulated by law,” he cannot much longer refrain from instructing his subordinates as to the limits of their authority. Gen. Schofield niay be a mail of the purest intentions, and we certainly have no disposition to assail him; but this order is uncalled-for and iniquitous, ard embodies the very quintessence of despot tism. We can not, however, enter now into a discus sion of its bearings and exposure ot its ofleusivc provisions. Want of space compels us to defer that to a future day: Ueadq’rb Ist Military Hist., \ State ok Virginia, Richmond, Va., May 28, ’67. ) General Orders No 31. For the pur| ose of giving adequate protection to all persons in their rights -f person and property in eases where the civil authorities may fail, from whatever cau-c, to givcsucli protection and to insure tho prompt suppression of insurrection, disorder and violence, military commissioners, to be selec ted from the officers of tho army and of the Freedinen’s Bureau, will bo ap pointed and given jnri-diction over suh-distriots, to be defined in the or ders appointing them, with sufficient military force to excute or secure the excution of their order. For tho purpose of suppressing in. surrection, disi rder, or violence, the military commissioners are given com mand of the police of the cities und tho power of counties -n addition to the troops th-1 they may be placed at their disposal, and all police officers, sheriffs, constables, and other persons are required in such eases to obey aud execute the orders of the military corn ui ssioners. For the purpose of protecting indi viduals in their rights of person and property, and of bringing offenders to justice, the military commissioners arc clothed with all the powers of justices if a County, or police magistrates of a city, and will be governed in discharge of their duties by the laws of Virginia so far as the same are not in conflict with the laws of the United States or orders issued from these headquarters The military commissioners will make prompt report to these 1 cad quarters of each case of which they may take jurisdiction,and the disposi tion made of eucb case Where parties are held for trial, either in confine ment or under bail, such full state* meat will be mado of the faets in each case as will enable the Commanding General to decide whether the caae shall be tried by a military commission or be biooght before a civil court. Trial by civil courts will be prefer red in all cases where there is satisfac tory reason to believe that justice will be done. But until the orders of the Commanding General are made known in any case, the paramount jurisdic tion assumed by the military commis sioners will be exclusive. All persons, civil officers and others,, are required to obey and execute the lawful orders of tbc military commis sioners to the same extent as they are required by law to obey and execute writs issued by civil magistrates.— Any person who shall disobey or re sist the lawful orders or authority of a military commissioner shall be tried by a military commission, and upon conviction shall be punished by fine and imprisonment, according to the nature and degree of the offence. This order will not be construed to excuse civil officers in any degree from the faithfui discharge of their duties. It is intended to aid the civil authorities, and not to supersede them, except in cases of necessity. By command of Brigadier and Bre vet M jor General J. M. Schofield, United States army. S. F. Chalfin, A. A. General. Underwood Rebuked. Chief Justice Chase has recently administered a rebuke to that moral judicial scab, Unperwood, which ought to ‘‘squelch” him lorever and a day after. It occurred in the case of the United States vs. Joseph l’run, whose property was confiscated and sold under a decree of the United States District Uourt sitting in Alex andria, Judge Underwood presiding, during the war, on the application of G. S. Miner, Esq , one of the counsel, for Mr. Brun, when the Chief Justice granted a writ of error on the follow ing grounds : First. That the District Court con. demned and sold the absolute estate of the petitioner in and to the property, which judgment it was beyond the power of the Uourt to pronounce. Second. That the condemnation of the property was for treason, of which the party eoulJ not be adjudged guil ty except by the finding of a jury. Third. That the proceedings were in admiralty when they should have been upon the common law side of the Court, by inrlbrmatio+i awd not by li bel. The N. Y. World, in noticing the action of the Chief Justice, remarks with some facetiousness, ‘‘lt is diffi cult to see what remains of Judge Un ix. Ft wood after such a revision of his judical merits as is implied in these “grounds” of the Chief Justice. The question, what shall be done about a monument in this city to the memory oi our martyred F'resiueut, frarvtug been just now brought forward again we submit that it will be consonant with justice and the truth of history that “Judge 1 ’ Underwood’s decision and Chief Justice Chase’* indorse ment thereon be inscribed upon tlie cenotaph.” Outraged by Mexico. The New Yord Herald, which never giyes an honest reason for anything it wishes to do or Ixive done, is terribly incens'd at tire refusill of Juarez to honor the petition of the United States Government for the lit’o of Maximilian. It says: “What can they think of it in Europe?” “We have been snubbed —snubbed by a paltry taction of a paltry and misera ble people whom wo have petted and made much of.” It calls upon Mr Seward to “quit politics and go into the real estate busincs” at once. We extract Iron) a late article: This official answer shows the ex act weight of our influence with the Liberal Government. That Govern ment will not forego even one single opportunity of gratifying the brutal und bloodthirsty instincts of a barbar ous people, though requested in a grave and dignified manner by the only respectable friend it has on earth. We are responsible before the world for this semi-organ zed atrocity c lied the Government of Mexico. We are disgraced Iby that responsibility. Our protests drove out of Mexico the ene mies ol her fre dom. She is indebt, ed to us t- -day for her existence as an independent nation —and she throws in our face the insult that sho will not keep our good will, though at so cheap a rate as the lile of one poor fugitive. It was because the shadow of the Stars and Stripes fell across Mexico •hat the troops of France went out; and now in that shadow are consum mated butcheries that recall the hu man sacrifices of former Mexican wor ship. Our national standard protects, covers and gives immunity to these horrors France, with the power of a million bayonets behind her resp. cted our utterance, and immediately went out of Mexico, accepting a great hu miliation in deference to the express ed will of the American prop e. But we tuako a request to Mexico, and see how quickly she scorns it 1 We ask her what! Not to relinquish a vast expedition that has cost many lives and millions of money —not to aban don great political purposes and pro ject*—but simply, trivially, to forego a brute revenge; and she insults us with refusal. Can we stand any lon ger in the position wc now hold before the world of guardian, and next friend to such a disgrace of government ?

Juue II (and Removal of the Negroes. —The leaders of the,-Republican "party, be fore the war and during the War. con tended, says the Montgomery Mail, ihat the negroes should be removed from this country and colonized, and that the South should be settled up by whites alone. Since the negroea have become voters, the Republican party has been silent about their re moval lrotn their old homes, becauso their votes would be b-st by incorpo rating such a principle in th- ir plat form. That party is however deter mined to elbow the negroes out of the way, and introduce Yankee labor to fill their places. Senator Wilson s>id so at Atlanta.

It would.scam that there rich ltepub bv.u9, ;r ii.cy were realjy as friendly to the negro as they profess to*,be, would give them an opportunity tn buy and sctile up land*. But D-ey intend to do nothing of tlie kind.— The negro is as good as tt wh«e man when it comes to roving the Repub lican tickeS, but vrhen it comes to set tling up lands, the Republicans act as though they place no confidence in the honesty and labor of the negro.
