Edmund Spangler, sentenced by military commission to six years imprisonment at the Dry Tortugas, as one of the alleged conspirators in the plot to assassinate President Lincoln, and pardoned by President Johnson in May last, has made a full statement under oath, in which he asserts his entire innocence. Spangler was a carpenter or scene shifter at Ford's Theater, and was on the stage when Booth jumped from.

June is believed that the resignation of Borie is the commencement of the reorganization of. tno Rawiins, whose health is bad, is tired of his position, and liis successor may be announced any day. It is also asserted that Massachusetts will lose one member of the Cabinet. "Whether it will be Boutwcll or Hciar it is not determined. Wall street is against Boutwell.

Other changes are talked of, particularly in the State Department, who tbe successors to these positions may be, no one attempts to guesa. Gen. Canby orders that Callahan, who killed Kelly, be tried by a military commission. ST. Louis, June agent of the St.

Louis and Chicago railroad received a dispatch to-day, directing him to procure transportation-to-Xew Orleans for five thousand Chinamen, who are going on Southern plantations as laborers. Several persons arrived here to-day only five days from San Francisco.

The announcement was received with great cheering from the crowd and Mrs.

WASIIUJGTOS, June are soau reasons for believing that our Government will tender its congratulations the Spanish Cortes on tho election of Slarshal Serrano asKegent oi Spain. It thought here in official circles that act of the Cortes goes about as far tho direction of making a republic is conld reasonably have been expected ay any one conversant with the state ot affairs in that country, and it is felt that tho new Government, deriving its aower from the Ciortes and a written as ours does from the peo- through Congross and the constitu- must.be essentially republican in character. President Grant will of course, in be officially notified by the Span- Minister of what has been done by the Cortes, and there is a belief among persons usually well informed that ihen, if not in some other way, we shall officially express our sympathies with Spain in its struggles for a more liberal government.

CL'CAX DEILKIEREXCV. The prevalent idea among those interested in this qutstion is that it will difficult for us to recognize Cuban belligerency, if Serrano and his associates faithfully carry out the policy to which tbe Cortes has committed itself, and there are persons who believe that new Captain General, Senor De La Rodas, is coming to Cuba with the olive branch rather than the sword in his hand, viz: that he will propose and "While imprisoned with Atzerofc, ioaugurate reforms intended to satisfy Payne and Harold, and after the trial i ttie wishes of many now in the insnr- was over I was allowed a few minutes' rection. exercise in the prison yard.

Prom our Evenine Edition of Yesterday. The 1'erger Trial--A Rlfhttois Protest. The Montgomery Mail, in noticing the trial of Colonel Terger, in Mississippi, by a military commission, for the killing of Colonel Crane, of tho United States Army, trusts, that if guilty of murder in tbe eye of the law, tlio defendant will bo punished, bat at the same time gives the following unanswerable reasons wliy, in justice and fairness, he should net bo tried by officers of the army It seems that Col.

Crane was a young officer of promise, and much beloved by his comrades. The scenes and trials of a four years war naturally tie men to each other--friendships born of much association rarely ever die. There is a bond between soldiers, which exists, perhaps, in no other profession. Colonel Crano, the deceased, was thrown in daily social contact with those who now sit in judgement upon his slayer. It is natural, under the cir- cumattinucs, that Crane's fellow officers should feel deeply for his death.

They were members of the same army, engaged in the same duty, united by tbe same prejudices, and responsive to the same ambitions, as the dead man. Then again, soldiers arc always antagonistic to the citizen. This feeling comes with the first months of Cadet life--it grows in the service--a month of semi- civil command in the South developes in the mind of the officer a matured contempt for civil law, and an earnest hatred for the citizen. Cit" is a term of reproach with which the soldier speaks of the mass of the people. This is why onr forefathers dreaded standing, armies--this is why civil law is silent midst arms--this is why freemen dread military rule and resist it to the last.

If there are any occasions of a man's life when he should be unbiased, it is when he sits in judgement upon the life of a fellow-man. The.re- sponsibility of taking human life is too solemn and too high and too grave to bo determined by prejudice--too awful to be assumed, when the verdict turns upon the love the judge has for the dead. The civil law, the guardian of both the life and the honor of the citizen, brings to the judgment seat only those whom neither "fear, favor, affection," relationship nor envy can move. It takes those who are unbiased, either by ties to the living or dead. Then its verdicts are justice, and its punishment the voice of the law.

Otherwise tribunals in taking life but register the verdict of passions, which relationship, party or power may dictate. Their punishments become the instruments of private revenge, and its criminals martrys in the eyes of the world. In the case of Yerger, of Mississippi, the comrades of the dead man sit in judgment on his slayer! Whatever may be the purity'ot the military commission, human nature is too wea be put to this test! OF THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, Registration Order. that McMahon is a prisoner in the hands of Lopez, and wants the Government to at once send a fleet down there in command of some oflicer who will open the way to his headquarters. A private letter from Buenos Ayres, dated" the 35th day of May, savg they have no reliable advices of McMahon, and do not credit the report that he has been communicated through English sources.

The writer adds that the last rumor is that Lopez has an army of not over ton thousand men, and is committing a good many outrages upon the country. The writer, who is an American, says our nation IB humiliated by the course of Lopez toward MtOtahon, whose letters, ho believes, are stopped by orders from Lopez. SMALL BCSIIvESS.

He served throughout the war. is but a few days since the first consignment of tea was received in Cincinnati, and the following, from the Gazette of that city, will give an idea of vhat our Western neighbors think of the teas received from the antipodes via San Francisco: The flavor of teas received by this naick route, when compared with those liy the six months' circuit of the Horn, is as the smeil of new-mown hay is to the lifeless odor of the baled hay of commerce. The aroma of a cup of this tea, which but a few weeks ago was delicately sealed up by tawny hands, steeps the senses in a kaleidscopic yis- ion of the gorgeousness of the Flowery Land, and makes one feel as if China were onr next-door neighbor, and the Chinaman a man and a brother. We are informed that a difficulty occurred day or two ago between Dr. Harconrt, of Sterling, and Dr.

Hammond, who resides a few miles above that place. It is stated that Hammond denounced Harconrt in his absence as'a coward. Th latter returning, attacked Ue former and pulled bis nose. Subsequently a party of men surrounded Warcourt near Calvert and killed him. iha accounts of the affair are quitein- aennite, and therefore we give the above as mere rumors.

Dr. Hammond, we are told, is a well known citizen of I and 8uclx ifc is hardly probable that he conld have countenanced the attack upon Dr. Times, 29th inst. THE CITY. Fou packet for thin evening will be tte 3.

THE QALVBSTO.V If sirs has been established in the chief commercial city of Tcxaa for more than a quarter of a century, and is well and favorably known in all parts of the country, as a thoroughly conservative paper, devoted to the development of the State and the general welfare of the people. Its conductors feel that with its many thousands of familiar readers no self-made culogiuin is necessary. To others they may bo permitted to aay, that it has hocn their constant aim to make the different editions of the NEWS unsurpassed for tho interest and utility of its reading mutter.

Besides its miscellaneous contents, always carefully guarded, BO OB to make it a welcome domestic visitor, its columns constantly furnish thoughtful and well-digested articles upon Politics, Finance, Literature, Music, and all other topics relating to the Social, Moral, or Religious interests of tho country. 'JChe correspondents of tho NEWS, 'at homo and abroad, furnish the latest and most reliable resume of passing events, in every part of the world. Our local affairs receive an amount of attention to which no cotemporary has yet approached, either in amount furnished or reliability of reports made. Tho Commercial reports of tho NEWS arc full and accurate daily reports of operations in every department of business are made, and a weekly review given on Saturday morning which 13 received as authority by merchants and dealers in all parts of the country. The long establishment of the NEWS, its local habitation, and its steadfast adherence to tho fundamental principles of our democratic stitutions, have combined to keep attention alive to the superior merits of tho SEWS, to strengthen its position, and to advance its reputation.

All persons, without regard to political opinions, aflmit both its ability and its honesty. A standing like this, in a day of so many frivolous, changeable, and uatrustivorthy newspapers, is a distinction too marked not to dc serve observation. For tho reasons thus stated, tbe GALVESTOS NEWS is hi hly rained in every part of the State, attained a circulation and influence which places it ahead of all giving a standing which makes it esteemed in parts of the country where the names of raost Southern and South-western journals are never heard. The advantages afforded by ajournal of such reputation and circnlntion as the NEWS, as an advertising medium, must be obvious to business men in every port of the TJuited States. THE SCXOAT NEWS always contains an extra quantity of reading matter, and it is the object of tho proprietors to give their edition of that day a more miscellaneous and literary character than would be ponsible during tho In point of jndlcious selections, correspondence, the SUSDAT NEWS will compare favorably with any paper in the country.

THE WZEKIT NKWS has no equal in the Southwest and no superior anywhere; comprising twelve pages of the most important matter published in tho daily during tho week, our country friends are supplied with an amount of valuable reading which cannot be had for HCQRS.

OF NEW YORK. THE SICKLES Another difficulty has arisen regarding Gen. Sickles' appointment as Minister to Spain. Congress passed a law last session prohibiting the appointment of military officials to civil and diplomatic positions, but to obviate this law, Sickles was placed on the retired list of the army. The Attorney General says that this has not removed the objection, as an officer on.

the retired" list is still in the army, receives his pay, and can at any time be called to active duty. Sickles must therefore either resign his colonelcy in the regular army or the Spanish mission. He is here debating the ASSETS EKASTUS LYMAN President, Branclt OJBee In New Orleans. U. C.
