It is shown that the result of the election in Washington was secured through tho meanest and most shame-faced frauds on record. Thou sands of negroes from Virginia and Maryland were colonized in that city by the Badicals, who wore prepared to overcome the Conserva tive majority had it reached so high even as throe.thousand. On the following morning, .the poor duped creatures wore found huddled about on the corners of the streets, waiting for the faithless Badical Committee to supply them with food and the means of getting out of (he cjty. They freely gave vent to their indigna tion,, that aftor having performed their part of the contract, they were thus left to shift for th en is elves. ,. A plnu for voting had been agreed upon bc tweon tho two political parties, by which tlus. blacks wcro to move .up to the polls in one line, and; tho whites in another, and four votes on each side wcro to bo alternately thrown ; it was also agreed that no . talkjng. or canvassing should bo indulged in along tho line. The-Po lice Superintendent broko up this very fair ar rangement, and, while permitting the negroes ty/voto first, huflbred pnrty drummers to pnss up and down Oieir lino, examine their ballots, joke from their hands Conservative tickets, and force upon them Radical tickets instead. The entire proceedings wore of the most shameless character. ?An ? investigation is to be had, at w^iichj fhc cheated negroes promise to .give free testimony against the Kadi .,il managers.

The latest advices from Mexico indicate n bloody finale to the bitter struggle between the Imperialists and tho Liberals. The Emperor, after an heroic defence at Qucrctaro. was be trayed into the hands of Escobcdo, t*hc Liberal Gcnerai, on the very day that a general write had been arranged to take place, with every prospect of raising tho scigo. Miguel Lopez, the bosom-friend of Maximilian, admitted the Liberal .troops into the principal fort, of which he was commandant; and the Mexican Empe ror, instead of rising to lead a grand attack upon the cnoniy, found on that morn the Liber al.troops in complete possession of the town. When Maximilian gave tip his word to Escobcdo, he said, UI-surrender to you my swbrd,.oWing to an infamous treason, without which to-morrow's sub would have seen yours in 1113' hands." Esco bcdo ordered a court-martial to assemble on the.2Uth for trial. Maximilian sent through Diaz a telegram to tho-Prussian Minister at the City of Mexico, also to Mirano Riva Pub lico and Licentiate Martczzi de la Torre to de fend him. It is reported that Maximilian issued the following proclamation : Countryinon?rA(ler the valor and patriotism of tho. Republican forces had destroyed my sceptre in this place, with a tenacious defence, which was indispcnsiblc to save the honor of my cause and- of my race?after the bloody siege in which the Imperial and 'Republican soldiers have competed in abnegation and bold ness?I will, explain myself. Countrymen?I came to Mexico, not only animated with the best of faith, ensuring the felicity uf all and caclLof us, but called and protected by the Emperor of Prance. Napoleon the Third, lie, to tho ridicule of Prance, ubnndouud mo cow ardly and infamously by tho demand of the United States, after having uselessly spent for ces and treasure, shed tho blood of her sons and your own. When the nows of my fall and death reaches Europe, all tho mouarchs of Charlemagne's country will demand of tho-Na poleon .dynasty an account of my blood, and an account of the Gere an, Belgian and French blood shod in Moxico. Our fate will soon be before the whole world. Napoleon the Third will he covered with shame from head to foot to-day. lie has already seen his Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, my august brother, pray ing for in}* life to the United States, and my self a prisoner of war in the hands of tho Re publican Government, and with my crpwu and my head torn in pieces. j The Court Martial organized by Escobcdo has, uh far as wo can ascertain, concluded its session; and, aftor refusing to the royal prison er and his chiof officers tho opportunity of cm ploying competent counsel, sentenced Maximil ian, Mirainon, Mpjia and Castillo, and perhaps others, to bo shot. Tho difficulty of obtaining accurate information from Mexico leaves us uncertain how far to believe the sporadic ac counts of ovents which 'obtain circulation. ! Nevertheless, of this wp may he assured, that the Bucqpss of the Republican party in Mexico has been attended with a butchery which will reflect an additional disgrace upon the Mexi can name, already under the reproach of savage blood-thirstiness and treachery.

Murder, in Barinvcll District---Fnll Par ticulars. The following letter from a correspondent of | the Charleston Mercury contains a full account of the murder which was committed in IJarn ? '? ' ? * . ' fit} well District on the -1th. A reward for tho ap prehension of the murderer has been offered by the Governor: Johnson's Turn-Oot, ILvuxWKnL Dist.. S. C. June 11, LSG7. ' ? ?* -1.' To the Editor nf the (Jhttrlusttnt Mrrenry ': Dear Sir?Allow me to communicate, to yon one of the most tragical murders that it is possible almost to conceive of, which was com mitted in this vicinity on the morning of the 4th instant. .On the morning above mention ed, about 2 o'clock, a man by the name of Valid Polin, from Oraugoburg. called at Mr. James .Johnson's, a worthy and prominent clti koii, and feigned to want to stay nil nightjar rather remain uut.il day. . Mr. Johnson, know ing hiln very well, allowed him to stop, lie (Boljn) having stayed with hi::, frequently be fore. ? ' $g Mr. Johnson told him to sleep in- the room he usually slept in. He went into his iv?ohi and immediately came out, and asked for. a candle. .Doing told that there were no cam dies, he asked for some matches. Mr. Johnson walked into his rpom, procured a box. offcrey. them to him, which he took, and at tho snims time presented a pistol at Mr. Johnson's breast and said, '-Your money or your life!". Mr. Johnson told him he had no money ; and at the sanic time seizing the pistol with both hundsj from which a considerable scuffle en sued, buv L\'Hu being a strong, ..tluetic managed to dispossess Mr. Johnson ot tnc weapon aud struck him a severe bloY? ?licr.t :!: J" face, prostrating him upon tho flour, I'cing somewhat stunned, before he could rise Holin shot him twice, both shots taking effect, hut neither of them seriously. Ife arose at.last and made bis way for the negro bouses, but as he went llolitl bred the third tttue, the hall taking effect on the right of the spine, passing entirely through the umbilical region. Mr. Johnson lived until the morning of the fifth, and died. ?Said Polin made his escape, and has not bceu heard from. .This is a most extraordinary case; iu some respects it has not. its equal anywhere: I aiii satisfied none in this District. a man without an enemy in the world, aroused from his peace- ! ful siumbcrs at the dead hour of the night, i from his own bed and beneath his own roof, and made the victim of u brutal murder, and for mere pay; a man generous ami kind, loved and respected by all. The villian commits the crime, and makes his escape ! This deed would cope successfully with the blackest crimes of the dark ages of degenerate Italy?and in this enlightened age aud country! Put he will yet atone for his sin, for Providence hath so or dained, and doth so govern things that those who break the great laws of Heaven by shed ding man's blood, seldom succeed iu avoiding discovery. Especially in a case exciting so much attention as this, discovery must and will conic, sooner or later. Respectfully; M. 11. Supplementary Opinion of the Attor noyrGeVieral^-Tiic Powers of Military Commanders?Who are HntiUcd to llcgistral ion. In our columns this morning will be found in 1 till the opinion of Attorney-General Stan bery upon the powers of District Commander} under the Military Act. to which is appended a recapitulation of the opinion in relation .to disfrnnehiscmcnt and qualifications of voters already published. The present opinion of <he . Attorney-Gene ral is so lucid, forcible and important that it should be read attentively by every resident of the ton St utos* under military rule ; but the following brief synopsis will be found to con tain all the chief rulings in relation to the powers of District Commanders which are ^nade by Mr." Slanbcry : 1. The existing governments in the Southern States arc not in any way set aside, nor arc thoy ropealcil pr modified by the Military act. swcoidy in Jjio qualifications of voters, the qualifications of persons eligible to hold office, tho manner .of bidding elections, and of frani changing them being reserved by Congress, not delegated to the Military Commanders*. 2. The so\e purpose of tho Military not,was, thrdugli tho voters of each State," fo.'chaugb tho constitutions of tho States in the'matter of the elective franchise alone, and in the incan fcimoto preserve order arid punish offenders. 3. The District Commanders havo no au thority for interference with any other courts or any other'jurisdiction, than criminal courts .in the exercise of criminal jurisdiction;?the existing civil authority in all its other depart ments, legislative, executive and judicial, is un touched. There is no authority for the removal by the Military Commander of tho proper officers of a State, either executive or judicial, or the appointment of .'persons in their places;?such is not granted but forbidden. 4. All Vacancies under the. provisional gov ernments are to be filled in the usual way by vote of the people, aud not byaiiy other agency or power whatever. The law fakes no cognizance of such an offi cial as a State Governor, or a State Legislative, executive or judicial officer, appuiutcd by a Military Commander, and such official, is clothed with no authority or color of authori ty-. j.:;' , if. ' ",:-" ..... . 5. Iu the suppression of insurrection and riot the Military Commander is wholly inde pendent of the civil authority ; in the trial and punishment of criminals and offenders he may supcrsedo the civil jurisdiction. But when there is no insurrection and riot ; while civil order is preserved, .and while criminals arc duly prosecuted by the regular criminal courts, tho military power must remain passive. Its proper function is to preserve the peace, and, when peace is broken, to restore order;? When that is done and the civil authority may safely resume, the military power again be comes passive. 0. Nothing short of an absolute or controll ing necessity, would give any color of authori ty for arraigning a citizen before r Military Commission. 7. Military District Commanders can take cognizance of no offence that has not happened after tho law took effect; aud, as they have no authority to* established u. new criminal code, they cannot try and punish for acts not made crimes or oflbneos by Federal or State law;? tho .measure of punishment is, however, left altogether to the military authorities. [ C'lutrlv&tOH Mvn"fry. Ailonwy-Geuernl Stanlierry's Summary of his Former Opinion .'on l&cToii str action.. * ? The Attorney-General has."at last, come out !u plain Words, and we present a summary by himself, of his former opinion. It is us fol lows, viz : ? . In the opinion heretofore given upon other ?i .estions arising "under those laws. I ?-.ivc at ltt?-:\T fin* *ycur ??h.n\lo'r;.?ti :: <!.? lipon which my Cohelusions wore arrived at. Ifitcud ihg thereafter to state those conclusions in a concise and clear summary. I now proceed to execute that purpose, which is made especially necessary from the enn fusion ami doubts which have arisen upon that opinion iu the public mind, caused in part*by the errors of the tele graph and the press in its publication, and in part by the. iiiapitude of the general reader to follow carefully the successive and dependent Steps' of a protracted legal opinion. SUMMARY". WHO AUK KXT1TJ.KD To UK.il ST 11A TIO X. 1. The oath prescribed iu the Supplemental act defines all the qualifications required, aud every person who can take that oath is entitled to have his name entered upon the list of voters. 2. The board of registration have no au thority to administer any other oath to the per son applying for registration th ;n this pre scribed oath ; nor to administer any oath to any other person, touching thq qualifications of the applicant, or the falsity of the oath so taken by him. The act to guard against falsity iu the oath, provides that, if false, the person taking it shall be tried aiid"punished for perjury; No 'provision is made for challenging the qualifications of the applicant, or entering, upon any trial or investigation of his qualifi cations, either by wituosscs or any other form of proof. i\. Ah to cttixvimhtn ainf rc*iih'nrc. The applicant for registration luiist be a citi zen of the Slate and of the. United States, and must be a resident of a county included in the election district. He may be registered if be has been such citizen for a period loss than twelve months at the time he applies for regis tration, but be cannot vote at any election un less Iii.- citizenship has f/int extended to the full term ol one year. As to such a person the ex act length of his citizenship should be noted opposite his name on the list, so that it may appoar oh the day of election, upon reference to the list, whether the full term has then been accomplished. 4. An itnualuralizcd person cannot take this Oath, but an alien who has been naturalized can take it. and no other proof of naturalization can be required from him. 5. No one who is not twenty-one years age at the time of registration can take the oath, for he must swear that he has then attained that age. C. No one who has been disfranchised for participation in any rebellion against the United States, or for felony committed against the laws of auy State or the United States, can safely take this oath. The actual participation in a rebellion, or il I \ amount to disfranchiscniont. The sort of d'ljB^, franchiscmcnt hero meant, is thut #hieh^ls.Jh?~ -dared by law passed by competent ? authority, or 'which has been fixed upon the criminal by tho sentence of the court "which tried hity for, the crime. . No law of the United States has declare^ the penalty of disfraiicbisement for participa tion in rebellion alone. Nor is it known that any such law exists* in either of these ten States, except perhaps. Virginia, as to which State special instructions will be given. 7. As to disfranchinentenf art'siny from hne. iiii/ field office followed' hy participation in re bellion. ' ? This is the most important part of-the oaths^ and requires strict attention to arrive at its meaning. I deem it proper to give thu exact words. The applicant niUBt swear or affirm as follows: ?"That I never have, been a member of any State Legislature, nor held any executive or ju- I dicial office iu any State, and afterwards en gaged iu an insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or.".comfort to the enemies thereof; that I have never taken an oath as a member of Congress of the United States, or as an officer of the United Stntcs, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of tho United .States, and afterwards engaged in insurrection or re bellion against the United States, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." Two elements must concur iu order to dis qualify a person under these clauses: First, the office and official oath to support tho Con stitution of the United States: {Second, engag ing afterwards in rebellion. Both must exist to work disqualification, aud must happen in the order' of time mentioned. ^ A person who has hehl an office and taken the oath to Support the Federal Constitution and has not afterwards engaged iu rebellion, is not disqualified. So. too, a person-who has engaged in rebellion, but has not before held an office and taken that oath, is not disquali fied. 8. Officers of the United States. . , .. As to these the language is without limita tion. Tho person who has at-any time prior to the rebellion held any office, civil or military, under the United States, and has taken an official oath to support the Constitution of the United States, is subject to disqualification. !>. Mifilury officers of any. State, prior to the rebellion, arc not Mlbjcct to disqualification, 10. Miniicijnd nfficcrsJ tli-.it Is' td Pay. officers of incorporated cities, towns and villages, such ;:*mayors, aldermen,, town council, police and other city or town officers, are not subject to disqualification. 11. " Persons who. have, prior to tho rebel lion, been members of the Congress ortho United States. or members of ft State L'irgisli tttve, are subject to disqualification. Hut those, who have been members of conventions fram ing or amending the constitutum of a State, prior to the rebellion, arc not subject to d's ' ?fi.ativn. 12. All the executive or judicial (.flu er.- or any State who took an oath to stippi rt the Constitution of the I'nited States, are subject to disqualification, and in these L include coun ty officers as to whom I made a reservation in the opinion heretofore given. After full Con sideration I have arrived at the Conclusion that they arc subject to disqualification, if they were required to take as a part of their official oath, th- ott'Jt to support the. Constitution of i/o United Stoles. 13. Persons who exorcised more agencies or employments under State authority, are hot disqualified : such as commissioners to lay out roads, commissioners of public works, visitors of State institutions, directors of State banks or other State institutions, examiners of banks, notaries public, commissioners to take acknowl edgments of deeds, and lawyers. KXtlAtUNC IN ItKllKI.MON. Having specified what offices held by any one prior to tl.c rebellion, eoi'nc within the meaning of the law, it is necessary next to set forth what subsequent conduct fixes upon such person the offender of engaging in the rebel lion. T repeat, that two things must exist as to any pors?.:i, to disqualify bin: from voting: F'irst, the office held prior to the rebellion, and afterwards, participation in the rebellion. 14. Ail act to fix upon a person the offence of engaging iu rebellion under this law, must be an overt and voluntary act, done with the intent of aiding or furthering the common un lawful purpose. A person forced into the rebel service by conscription, or under a para mount authority which he could not safely disobey, and who would not have entered such service if left to the free exercise of bis own will, cannot be held to bo .disqualified from voting. > - '* ? . 15. Mere acts of charity, where the intent is to relieve the wants of 'the object of such charity, and not tlono in aid of the cause in which he may have been engaged, do not dis qualify. Put organized contributions of food and clothing for the general relief of persons engaged in the rebellion, and not of a merely sanitary character, but contributed to enable them to perform their unlawful object, may be classed with acts which do disqualify. Forced contributions to the rebel ' cause, hi tin* form of taxes or military assessments, which u person may be compelled to pay or contribute, do not disqualify. Put voluntary contributions to the rebel cause, even such indirect contribu tions as arise from the voluntary loan of money, to rebel authorities, or purchase of bonds or se curities created to afford the means of'carrying on the rebellion, will work disqualification. 10. All those who, in legislative or other official capacity, we're engaged in the furthbr the ?Intics of the office necessarily had iclatiori ' to tlic support of tho rebellion, such as roam-' .borsoftho rebel Conventions, Congresses and legislatures, diplomatic agents of the Rebel. Confederacy, and other officials whose offices Were ercated for the purpose of more effectually carrying on hostilities, or whose duties apper tained to the support of the rebel cause, must be held to bo disqualified. '-But Officers who, during the rebellion, dis charged official.ditties.not. incident"to w?,lraV." only such duties as belong even to a Btatc of peace, and were necessary to the preservation of order and the administration of' 'v^ i^'?ot to be considered as thbreby engaging in rebellion or as disqualified. Disloyal sentiments, opin ions of sympathies,. would hpf di^?alVfy/t??fc where a person has by speech or T>y writing, incited others to cugago in rebellion-, he must come under tho disqualification. 17.
