This recommendation is in the hand-writing-of Hon. John A. Bingham then Assistant Judge Advocate.— Late arrival from Santa Fe state tjiat the Indians are becoming troublesome in New Mexico, carrying off stock and killing one man in San Meguel county in the early part of June. The Navajoes and Appachcs are especially hostile in their conduct towards the whites. Two coaches arrived at Denver, June 27, over the Smokey Hill rout. They encountered no difficuty with the Indians, but were delayed on account of the high water which had caused some damage to the Kansas and Pacific Railway. Several streams wer;e, rendered impassible. Later advices state that the railaoad is repaired.

The report of the capture and execution of Santa Anna is confirmed- -Ifc was taken by force from an unarmed American vessel, the commander of which spread the American flag over the hatchway, hutullto no purpose, the Mexicans ♦ramping itunder their feet, seized Santa Anna, thrust him into a boat, took him to Campeachy “as a.prisoner, and on the morning of the 2?»th of Juno he was shot at Sissal.

The Pope held a public consistory at Rome on the'27th of June, at which were over 400 catholic! bishops from every part of the world. 1 n his allocution the Pope praised the zeal and to the church which had brought the immense concourse to Celebrate the 18th centeninl anniversary of the martjrdbm of St. Peter, and referred to it as evidence of the immense p<jwer that the church wields on earth. The next day the Pope received the American bishops and. priests when they presented him with $200,000 in gold and model of the yacht Henrietta in silver, and laden with gold pieces amounting to $50,000, contributed by the people of the arch Episcopal province of Cincinnati.. Lord Stanley; Secretary of State for Foreign affairs, recently remarked in the House of Commons -that' slow progress was being niacic with the Government of. the United States in regard to claims arising from Ujpiredations of rebel privateers, but he slid not despair of- a happy result.

Judge Gant, chairman of the conservative central committee Nashville Tennessee., recently addressed a circular to the county courts of that State, requiring them to appoint officers to hold the State Elections, assuming that the law giving them that power had been repealed. Brownlow then issued a counter manifesto declaring the county clerks had no authority to act, and that the power was conferred on the commissioners of registration. He denounces the circular as seditions and revolutionary, and warns the clerks who exercise the power asked of them that they will be punished, and concludes by ordering Cooper's militia to enforce his views in letter and spirit. Rear Admiral G. F Pearsons died at Portsmouth, N. H., July Ist. The cholera has appeared at Memphis, but has not assumed an epidemic form. One case of yellew fever has occurred in New Orleans. The Southern mail service has been restored as before the war.— It went into operation July Ist.— It includes about one thousand routs, and is as completely under contract with responsible parties as at any former period.

Congressional. ' A-quorm of both houses of Congress met on 3d inst., thirty four Senators and one hundred and twenty representatives being pre sent. Mr Willson, of the Senate offered a bill in addition to several reconstruction acts. It consists of two sections. The first vacates all civil offices in Southern States in three days, and authorizes boards of registration to refuse to register persons applying to be registered, whom they have just grounds to believe are seeking to evade the requirements of the law and strike from the roll within thirty days persons registered and afterward proved disqualified.— The bill was ordered to be printed and lie on the table. Mr. Edmond's introduced a bill which declares the military authorities of the United States in the rebel States paramount to any civil government existing therein, and gives commanders of districts power, subject to the approval of the general commanding the armies, to remove from office any person holding authority derived from any State or government there.— It is made the President’s duty to detail sufficient military force to the effectual execution of this act. The acts by officers of the army already done in removing in sail districts of persons exercising the functions of civil officers and appointing others in their stead, are ratified, confirmed and legalized. Several other bills were introduced by different senators of the same general tenor and character, the reading of one being the key to the whole. The first business of the house was the objection of the radicals to the Kentucky memberstaking seats in the House, alledging that they were disloyal. The matter, with the exception of Mr. Adams, 7th district, was referred to theCommmittee on Elections, which of course disposes of the Kentucky members during the present session.

Maximilian Executed. A n official dispatch to the G over nment, from the commander of the U. S. naval forces at Vera Cruz, announces that Maximilian was shot by order of the Juarez Government on the 20th ult. The pressure upon Juarez for the life of Maximilian, from the Mexican leaders, was so great that he could not resist, when he reluctantly consented to the execution. His friends asked the privilege of removing his body for the purpose of sending it to Europe, but even this reasonable request was denied them. Th,e cable dispatches from Europe announce that the execution of Maxamiliaii caused great indignation. The English Government on account of his death peatponed"' the grand review, at Hyde Bark, ami'the French and Austrian Courts fire'' -wearing mourniwr.

The Paris Exposition. Ou the second of July the Emperor Napoleon distributed the przes to exhibitors at the Exposition, making it the occasion to offer a congratulatory speech on the sucess of the enterprise. After the speech, the exhibitors who were to receive grand prizes marched to the front of the throne, each group seperately, the first being fine arts. As each name was called, the recipient ascended the steps of the throne, bowing to the Emperor and Empress, who received from Napoleon’s hands the gold medals. They were passed one by one to Napoleon by ’ Marshal Valient, until the medals were alt given. Many recipients called again and received decorations of the Legion of Honor, the same ceremony being gone through with as in the case of delivering medals. Gold medals only were distributed by the Emperor. The Emperor of Russia was awarded a gold medal for the finest horses. Napoleon was awarded a gold medal for a modle lari ing ho use. M arshal Valliant was about handing it to him when the Emperor beckoned to the Prince Imperial, who came forward and took it from the Marshal's hand and placed it in Napoleon’s amid loud cheers. The only one with whom the Emperor shook hands was Mr. Hughes, inventor of the printing telegraph. Upon receiving their medals and decorations the recipients resumed their seats. The Imperial cortege then left the throne and walked around the entire building, passing various groups, and occasionally stopping to examine the trophies. The Empress Eugenie evidently expected the Sultan would offer his arm, but he did not, and there were no loud cheers until the Im. perial party reached the American department, when the American commissioners rose and gave three loud American hurrahs. There was also much cheering when the English department was reached. The Sultan during the ceremony seemed composed, while the Empress appeared delighted. The Imperial cortege left the exhibition ground in the same manner it arrived with the exception of the Sultan's carriages, which proceeded Napoleon’s. Altogether it was probably the finest pageant Paris ever witness ed.

The Paris Exposition.

Det's Have a New Divide. “Brave old Ben. Wade,” as the heroic Sumner, once- delighted to call him, is in for a redivision of propC-T tv - In his Kansas speech, on the 10 ultimo, he said; “The s’aacio< of another struggle was over us. /That Congress which has done so much f?r the slave,can not regard the terfnk distinction which exists between the man that labors and him that does not: Property is not fairly divided, and a more equal distribution must be wrought out." Wendell Phillips, too, pipes the agrarian song. He, in urging confiscation South says: “Confiscation is mere, naked justice to the former slave. Who brought the land into cultivation ? Whose sweat and toil are mixed with it forever ? Who cleared those forests ? Who made those roads ? Whose hand reared those houses ? Whose wages are invested in those •warehouses and towns? Os course, the negro’s. Why should he not have a share of his inheritance?” He, and as an addendum the New York Express suggest: “Who built Boston street, Boston ? The Irish laborer! Who built the Boston v.-harves, and slips and the granite stores there ? The Irish laborer. Whose sweat and toil are mixed with them all ? The Irish laborer’s. Why should they not have their share of the inheritance!”

Military Usurpations. The yational Intelligencer says. Let it be borne constantly in mind that 1 under the government of the constitution, there can be no legal military governors of the people in this country. He is a rebel or usurper who undertakes to enforce military’ law on citizens within the limits of the United States, no matter on what pertext or by whose command. Congress can no more confer despotic power upon individuals than individuals can confer it upon Congress. What is not done in subordination to our free system of laws is void, and of no legal force whatever. That system is marked by the exclusion Os all power which is not consistent with itself; nor would it be less so without any constitution at all. It is a great principle—lt looks to the freedom of the people, and it is, in the nature of things, a solemn declaration that they shall be governed, and, if governed, protected by laws; and follows that it is a national pledge of faith ope to another 1 , that no despotism, no setting aside of the laws in favor oftho wHI and command of one man, here or there, shall bn permited in this country.

Miscellaneous Paragraphs. The Texas negroes are delighted to get on juries, and offer to serve by the year for nothing. Hanging a mackerel to yonr coat tail and imagining yourself a whale, constitutes codfish aristocracy. An actress in Nevada was recenly complimented by two silver bricks being thrown upon the stage. The taxation of Uuited States bonds is advocated by one Radical paper—the Washington Republican. A Detroit man held a party the other night to receive congratulation upon having visited Chicago and returned safety- - Ex-Governor Tod, of Ohio, has joined the Good Templars. Unfortuately this is not the first instance in which members of that body have “taken a tod.” Brigham Young, Jr., and his companion Richards, are living gaily in Paris, the former with two wives and nine children, the latter with nine wives, and no end of children. Wendell Phillips says that he would rather sooth than irritate the South. Oh yes, he would no doubt rock her to rest just as the Jews did St. Stephen.—Louisville Journal. A stranger in" New York allowed a new made friend to measure his chest in a bar room, and shortly after found he was immeasurably sold, when he went to take his money from his breast pocket and could not find it. One of the notable instances of disinterested generosity on record is that related by a Connecticut newspaper of the third wife of a poor man living in Plaiufield, in that State, who worked in a factory till she had saved 8120, which she expended, without the knowledge of her husband, in the erection of two neat headstones in the cemetery, over the graves of his two deceased wives. The example is a worthy one for the fourth wife to follow.

They tell this story in Paris of a pretty grissette : “The King of some great country or other, (they have so many crowned heads in Paris you know,) walked into a glove shop kept by a young and pretty girl; but the eyes of the young and pretty gantiere were red, and it Was very evident that she had been crying. The. monarch asked for some pearl gray gloves, size seven and a half, and, while he was examining them, got into conversation with the pretty shop girl, and asked her what cause had brought tears to such charming eyes. The young gantiere Confessed at last that she was beloved by the young linendraper at the Cox7?er, but that her parents opposed the carriage on the plea that the young man W3S not in a position to lay even so mucL as a dozen Mexican railway shares at the bottom of the wedding corbeille. Whereupon the monarch says nothing, but feels in his pocket for his purse, opens it to pay for his gloves and down fifty thousand francos on the counter, saying: ‘What is over, mademoiselle, shall be for your pretenduy’ NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Mice to School Teachers! —:o: ■’ ; - Oxtice School Examiner, I Adams County, Jsd. f Examinations of Teachers for License will be held at the office of the School Examiner on the following days, to-wit: The last Friday of each of the following months: January, February,.
