One process of punishment, is to fit the patient with strong, closely fitted waist or jacket with. sleeves coming below the hand having a single loop which a strong cord and sewed up hole through may bo passed. Her arms are then crossed in front, tho hands arc drawn tightly behind her, she is thrown violently upon tho floor, face down.

ward, her clothing is removed or turned up, and then she is beaten tm- til her flesh is lut a jtlly. Patients are stripped and plunged in tho cold bath until life is nearly extinct. Others, for thosliehtest'offcnse, are pounded and kicked in tho most terrible manner. Patients -are often choked until their faces are black and their tongues hang out of thoir aouths.

This is a delicate question for a American to handle, since tho nutho of our own national troubles whos merciless barbarities are very.simila to those of MAXIMILIAN in Mexico has been allowed to go unpunished Yet as a very small proportion of th patriotic people of this conntiy en dorsa tho release DAVIS they may bo allowed to express thei hope that morbid Imnianatarianism may not induce similar farce in sister'republic. The motives which actuated th French government invade Mex ico, was conceived in sin, prosecuted in iniquity, and consumatod wit' cowardly clandestine intent. From trumped up causes, superinduced the prevalence of a civil war in th United States, Mexico was invaded at a time when it was known tha such an invasion oould not be stoj: ped by American an attempt to Hitstnin th high handed act by legitimate prot ocations, tho Emperor Napoleo sought to build up a new Empire his own on the ruins of others.

this end, he assigned the throne power to MAXIMILIAN, and furnisbe him with tho paraphernalia of war and bid him conquer himself an Em pire. Results have shown how sift nally he has failed. But no tongu can tell the suffering it oost tho Lib enals of Mexico to stay tha aggres ions of this ambitious invador. Tli most savage, soulless, barbarities have characterized MAXIMILIAN'S reign of terror for the last five years Thousands of innocent men have been put to death almost under his eye for no other offenco than tha they were Liberals. Many cxcellen men of refined culture, have been murdered by tho slow torturo dungeon bastiles, without an inquiry as to the nature of the accussition.

Such a thing as a trial and aoquitta on proven innocenco was unknown under the reign of MAXIMILIAN, ant for friends to undertake to intercede for the victims was to subject them to certain death. lie used as his in struments, men who were distiguish ed as accomplished bandits and des- leradoes. To say then, that a for- cigh cmisary, waging an unprovoked war upon a serai-enlightened people, followed with cruelties and bardarism mknown to civilization, for tho ivowed purpose of subjugating ro niblican institutions, and plant thereon-the thralldom of eclesiaslic des- otism, should now that ho has failed, and is a captive, bo allowed to go Yce, is to deny tho legitimacy and ustico of punishment for crime. Unfeigned Wrut in Washing 'ion. Tho result of the recent election in city of Washington, has kindled an unconquerable wrath among the chivalry.

Tho election of nearly every Republican candidate in tho city is the result of tho negro vote, which went in a body for tho Republican ticket. Why did tho niggers not vote for their old massas," in accord, ance with tho copperhead prediction, that in tho event of tho adoption of negro suffrage tho negroes would be used for tho aggrandisement of political power by tbeir late masters? Will not this first specimen of negro obsequiousness, tend to" remove that doubt from, tho Democratic it not show another instance wherein every prediction has failed, as to tho capacity of tho negro to think and act for himself? ara Young's now Temple at Salt Lake City, will, when completed, hold eighteen thousand people. Engine Explosion. A sad accident occurred at Huron Station, on tho Michigan Southern Railroad, and about 30 miles from this yesterday morning, by which two men were instantly killed and another seriously injured. The freight train from Toledo to Detroit, drawn by the locomotive Dromedary arrived at Huron Station on time and went on tho side tiack for the morning mail from this city to pass, it being due there at 10:55 A.

mail passed, on time, the switch was set and tho freight train moved toward the main track. Just as it reached that point the boiler of the locomotive force. Tho whole blew up with terrific upper portion of tho boiler was torn off, and the engine was tipped on end and thrown down an embankment 18 Two men were on the engine, and both were instantly killed. Their names were Jesse of this'city, engineer, and Moses Robar, a saloonkeeper id Monroe. The latter appears to have been on the engine without any authority, as ho was hot an "employee of the road.

The fireman, Loarider Smith, "was upon the tender throwing wood forward. Ho was badly scalded about tho head and face, but it is' not thought that his injuries prove fatal. The remains of the, engineer were brought to this city last evening, when Coroner Daly summoned a jury, and the iriqnest was adjourned to Thursday There is, of course, nothing known as to' the true cause of explosion, and theories are of very IttUe.consQ. qucncB.
