The Emperor, after an heroic defence at Qucrctnro, was be trayed into the hands.of Escobcdo, tho Liberal Gencr?l, on the very day that a general sortie had been arranged to take place, with every prospect of raising tho scigc. . Miguel Lopez, the bosom-friend of Maximilian, admitted the Liberal iroops into the principal fort, of which he was commandant} 'and tho Mexican Empe ror, instead of rising to lead a grand attack upon the cnoiny, found on that morn the liber al Jroops in complete possession of'the town. J When Maximilian gavo up his word tO Escobcdo, he said, 'i-surrender to you my swoid/.owing to no infamous tcc-lson, without jvhich "bo-morrow's sub would have .seen youi-s in nry hands."

The Court Martial organized by Escobcdo has, as far as wo can ascertain- concluded its session; and, aftor refusing to the royal prison er and his chiof officers the opportunity of em ploying competent counsel, sentenced Maximil ian, Miramon, Mojia and Castillo, and perhaps others, to bo shot. Tho difficulty of obtaining accurate information froiu# Moxico leaves us uncertain how far to believe the sporadic ac counts of ovciita which obtain circulation.

Murder in Barnwell Distvict?Fnll par ticulars. ' The following letter from a correspondent of tho Charleston Mercury contains a full account of the murder which was committed in Barn well District on the 4th. A reward for tho ap prehension of-the murderer has been offerod by the Governor: Johnson's Turn-?Ct, ILvunwkll DiST.j S. C, June 14, 1SG7. To the Ed,'tor of the CJtttrltwfon Mercury ': Dear Siu?Allow me to communicate', to you one of the tuost tragical murders that.it is possible almost to conceive of, which was cpju mittcd 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 Bolin. from Orangeburg, called at Mr. James Johnson's, a worthy and prominent citi zen, and feigned to want to stay-all night..or rather remain until day. .. Mr. Johnson, know ing him very well, allowed him to stnpj JlC (Boljn) having stayed with. hi::, frequently be fore. Mr. Johnson told .him to sleep in- the roMp he usually slept in. He went into his ropaj. and immediately cauic out, and asked f?r|;j candle. .Doing told that there were no can dles, he asked for some matches. Mr. Johnson walked into his rpoin,.procured a box, offerejj. them to^h-im, which he took, and nt tho snm$ time profited rt pistol at .Mr. Johnson's breasl and said, "Your .money or your life!". Mr. Johnson told him he had no money ; and at the same time seizing the pistol with both hands, from which a considerable' scuffle en-! sued, puir By.lj.u,. being a strong, rdiiiotic *.:?!!J managed to dispossess Mr. Johnson ot tnc weapon and struck him a severe bluV ?bor.t th* face, prostrating him upon the floor. Doing somewhat stunned, before he could rise Polin shot him twice, both shots "taking effect,.but neither of them seriously. Ife arose at. List and made his way for the negro houses, but as. ho went DoliU fired the third time, the ball 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 Dolin made his escape, ami has not been heard from. . , . This is ii most extraordinary case j in sonic respects it has not its equal anywhere: I am satisfied none in this District. A man without au enemy in the world, aroused from his peace ful slumbers at the dead hour of the nigjtt, from his own bed and beneath his own roof, and made the victim of a brutal murder, and for mere pay; a man generous and kind, loved and rcspeetcd by aU. 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?arid'in this enlightened age and country! Dut he will yet atone for his sin, for Providoneo hath so or dained, and doth so govern things that these who break the great laws of Heaven by shed ding man's blood, seldom succeed in avoiding discovery. Especially in a case exciting so much attention ?f this, discovery must and will comb, sooner or later. Respectfully; M. B. Supplementary Opinion of tho Attor iiey-General"v-The Towers of Military Commanders---Who aro Entitled to Registration. In our columns this'morning will be found iti full the opinion of'Attorney-General Staii bcry upon the powers of District Commanders "under the Military Act, to which is appended a recapitulation of the opinion in, relation .to disfraitohisemcnt and qualifications of voters alroa'dy published. ? The present opinion of the .Attorney-Gene ral is so lucid,' forcible and important that it should be read attentively by every resident of the ton StatoS'undcf military rule; but the following brief synopsis will be found to con tain all the chief rulings iu relation to the powers <>f' District Commanders which are Inade by Mr.'Slaribcry: I. The existiug governments in the Southern States are not in -any way set aside, nor arc thoy repealed or modifiod by the Military net. 9ftxeionj^ in jtjip qualifications" of voters, the qualifications of persons eligible <o hold office, the manner ,of holding elect ions, and of frain changing thorn being reserved by Congresp, not delegated to the Military Commanders., f 2; The Ho\o purpOKo pftbo M Hilary, not ;w as, tlirougli tbo voters of c(ich State to/chaugb tho constitutions' of the States ill the/matter of tlm elective franchise alone; alld in the lriean t'roo to prcwrvo order atid puuisli offenders. - 3. The District Commanders havo no au thority for interference with any other courts or any othor'jurisdiction, than criminal courts .in the exorcise of criminal jurisdiction ;?the existing civil authority in all its othor depart ments, legislative, executive and judicial, is un touched. ! , . ' .. Thore is no authority for the removal by the Military Commander of the proper officers of a Stato, either executive or judicial, "br'tlic appointment of persons in their places;?such is not granted but forblddon. ?t. A ll vacancies under the. provisional gov ernments are to be filled in the usual way by vote of thc^pcpplc, and not by any other agency or, power whatever. .NTho law takes no cognizance of such, an pffi ! cial as a State Governor, or a State Legislative, executive or judicial ofilccr, appointed by a , Military (Commander, and such official^ is clothed withno authority or color of authori ty^ ]' .? ?-' i >. "? f>. In the suppression of insurrection and riot the Military Commander is wholly Inder pendcut of the civil authority; in the trial I and punjshmont of criminals and offenders he may supersede the civil jurisdiction, But wheu 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 rcsumo, the military power again be-, comes passive. fj. Nothing short of an absolute or controll ing necessity, would give any color of authori ty for arraigning a citizen before a Military Commission. 7..Military District Commanders can take cognizance of no offence that has not happened after the law took effect; and, as thoy have no authority t<f established U. new criminal code, thoy cannot try and punish for acts not made crimes or offences by Federal or State law; ? the. .measure of punishment i.-f, however, left altogether to the military authorities.. . ?

" '-\\Yi>\ upon I which my ?oheliufion? were arrived at. ihtct.'T ing thereafter in state these conclusions in-a concise and clear summary. I now proceed to execute that purpose, which is made especially necessary from the confusion and doubts which have arisen upon that opinion in the public mind, caused in part-by the errors of the tele graph ami the press in its publication, aud in part by the itiapitude of the general reader to follow carefully the successive aud dependent steps' of a protracted legal opinion. SUMMARY. "WHO AUK ENTITLED TU II Kill ST It AT I < ?X. 1. The oath prescribed in the Suppleiucutal act defines all the qualifications required, and 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 thin this pro scribed oath; nor to administer any oath toany other person, touching the, qualifications of the applicaSTt, or the falsity of the oath so taken by him. Tho act to guard against falsity in tho oath, provides that, if false, the porsori taking it shall be tried and 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 witucsses or any other form of proof. i 3. A* to cittzi'H&htjranrt resl?i'hcr. The applicant for registration must be a citi zen id' the State and of the United States, and must be a resident of a county included in the election district. lie may be registered if ho has been such citizen for a period loss I ban twelve mouths at the time he applies for regis tration, but be cannot vote at any election un less his citizenship has thru extended to the full tonn of one year. As to such a person tlic ex-, act length of bis citizenship should be. noted opposite his name on the list, so that it may_ appear on the day of election, upon reference to the list, whether the full term has then been accomplished. d. An unuaturalized person cannot take thLs oath, but an alien who has been naturalized can 1 .... take it, and no other proof of naturalization can be required from him. 5. No one who is not twonty-oue years of age at the time id" registration can take the oath, for ho must swear that ho has then attainud that age. G. No one who has been disfranchised for participation in any rebellion against the United States, or for felony committed against' tho laws of auy State or the United States, can safoly talio this oath. . J be actual participation in a rebellion, gr amount, to disfranchiBcniant. Tho sort of djg-, franchiscmcnt here meant, is that whieli-Ve ctored by law passed by competentauthority', or which has heen fixed upon , the cripdnairhy tho sentence of the court whhv'h trfcd hih^fpr, thq crime. ~ ' i No law of the United-Suites hot} dectareil the penalty of disfranchiscmcnt for participa tion in rebellion alone. Nor is it known that any auch law- exists* in cither of these ton States, except perhaps Virginia, as to which State special instructions will be given-. " '* 7'. As to disfjfaitiihiscmcnt arising from hav ing hold office f?lioiccd' by participation in re bellion. '? '? -This is the most important part of-the oaths v and requires strict attention to \ arrive at its meaning. I deem it proper to give tho exact words. Tho applicant. must swear- or affirm as fid lows: ?"That I -never .have, been a, member of any State Legislature, nor held any executive or ju dicial office in any State, and afterwards en gaged iu an insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or-xiomfort to the enemies thereof} that I have never-taken an oath as a member of Congress ?f the United States, or as an officer of the United States, ^r as a uiomber of airy State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of. the United States, and afterwards engaged in insurrection or're bellion- agrtinst the United'States, of given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." Two elements must concur in order to dis qualify a person under these clauses: First. the office and official oath to supporttho Con stitution of the United States : /second, engag ing afterwards in rebellion. Both must i?xist to work disqualification, aud must happen" in the order of time mentioned. A person who 'hat held an office and taken the oath to support the Federal Constitution and has nut afterwards engaged-iu rebellion,.is not disqualified. . So. too,'a- person who has engaged iu rebellion, but has not before held an office and takcu that oath, is not disquali fied. ; v * 8. Officersof dm Cnited, 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 'nn official oath to support the Constitution of the United States, is subject to disqualification*. 9. Military officers of any. Stato, prior to the rebellion, are not subject to disqualification", \ H 10. Municipal nfficcrsf\]\iit is to Pay.Officers of incorporated cities, tow ns and villages, such .-.snnayors, aldermen,, town c uincil. pplipo find other city or town officers, are not subject to ?disqualification. ? . 11; ' Persons who. h.-ive, prior 'to tho rubel- ! lion, been members' of the Congress oPthp United States, or members of ii Stato 7<egisla lure, are subject to disqualification. But those, who have been members of conventions-fram ing or amending the con*litution of a State! prior to the rebellion, arc -not subject to d's Ilnvatlvo. 12.' Air the executive er judicial offner.; of airy State who look an path to support the Constitution of the United States, arc subject to disqualification, and in those 1 include coun ty officers as to whom 1 -made a reservation iu the opinion heretofore given'. After fid! Con sideration I have arrived at the conclusion that they are subject to disqualification, if they were required to take as a part of. their, official oath, the oath to support- the Constitution of the L'nited States'. 13. Persons who exercised more agencies or employments under State authority, arc 'not disqualified: such as commissioners to.lay put roads, commissioners of public works, ^visitors of State institutions, directors of State baiiks or other State institutions, examiners of banks, notaries public, commissioners to tnko nckuowl- j cdgmciits of deeds, and lawyers. EKOAUIN.d IN JIKKKLT.ION.. Having specified what offices held by any one prior to tl.c rebellion, coi'nc within the meaning of the law, it is necessary next to'set forth what subsequent conduct fixes upe-u such person the offender of engaging iu the rebel lion. I repeat, that two things must exist as to any person, to disqualify him from-voting: First, tho office held prior to the febollion, and afterwards, participation in the rcbollion. 14. An act to fix upon a pcrsqii the offence of engaging in rebellion under this low, 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 tlie free exercise of his own will, cannot bo held to be .disqualifi.il from voting. ' a- ? . 15. Mere acts of charity, where the intent i.?< to relievo' the wants of the object of such charity, and not dono in aid of the cause in ' which he may have been engaged, do not dis qualify. But organized contributions of food and clothing for the general relief of persons engaged in the rebellion, ami not of n merely sanitary character, but contributed-'to enable thcin to perform their unlawful object, may be classed with acts which do disqualify. * ! I Forced contributions to the rebel[' cause, hi the form of taxes or military assessments, which a person may bo compelled to pay or outribute, do not disqualify. But voluntary contributions^ to the rebel cause, even, such indirect contribu tions asariso from the voluntary loan of money, to rebel authorities, or purchase of bonds or se curities created to afford the nicaiiS of carrylngv on the rebellion! will work'disqualification. lb. All those who,' iti legislative br^ttoer official Capacity, were cbgnged iti the fUrthfer .-? ' ? i *.... tho duties ?f the offic* necessarily had relation to the support of the rebcllipn, such as mem bers of the rebel Conventions, Congresses and Legislatures, diplomatic agents of the Rebel jConfcderaey, and other officials whose offices - were created for the purpose of more effectually carrying on hostilities, or whose duties apper tained to the support of the rebel cause, must bo held to bo disqualified. But officers -who, during the rebellioufdisv charged official,dutic%not . incideu^ to w?,1toifc:' only such! duties as bolong even to a state of peace, and*'were necessary to .tfie'pre^ of order and the administration^jf*' to be con sid er cd a s thereby engaging In rebel! io n or as disqualified.
