Another Ntc ea.-We are very cautious how
wo subscribe 10 a new theory, Notwithstanding |
our firm belief that many very great errors con.
tinue in society and government, simply because
no one has the moral courage 10 attack long es-
tablished customs. We find in the Philadelphia
Native Eagle a. well written and ingenious ar.
tclc, which insists upon an entro Judicial Re.
FORM in regard to Grand Jurcs. The writer
proposes that the public shall have access 10 the
proceedings of Grand Juries, and that the parties
accused may, if they wish, be allowed to appear,
10 front the witnesses aud to have witnesses in
defence sworn In word it is proposed to throw
off the whole veil of iuquisitorial secrecy from
the proceedings Of Grand Jurors; and 10 hold them
like all others responsible to public opinion for
their acts. Many Of the evils of the prcson, sys.
TEN are pointed out; but quite as many will prob.
ably suggest themselves against the new theory.
But as so mnny abuses grow out of the practice
offnding indictments upon erPar'c evidence alone,
among not the least Of which is the heavy oxpen.
scs consequent upon unsustained accusaticns--'
we think the subject well worthy Of reflection.
An Encendiary and Fugitive arrested. We see
it stated in the Missouri Republican of the 9th

Stable on Second street, but was discharged for

man, immediately after being discharged by the
authorities of ST. Louis, was again taken into Gus

LATE FROM MEXICO.

Dates from the city of Mexico to
the 22d ult., and from Vera Cruz to the
2lst ult., have been received. They
contain accounts of the manner in
which the annexation resolutions were
received. At Vera Cruz there was
comparative indifference. But at the
city of Mexico there was a deal of
buster.
On the 21st of March, the subject
was formally introduced into the Cham
Der Of Deputies, and resolutions were
presented, declaring thatthe provisions
Of the treaty Of 1881 are at an end, re-
curing that the ports ofMexico should
be closed against all vessels ofthe u.
States; prohibiting the introduction in
to the republic Of the manufactures of
this country, and stating, in substance
that no proposition for the restoration
Of friendly relations between the two
governments would be entertained, ex-
cept on condition the United States
would abandon altogether the project
of annexation.
Senior Cuevas took occasion to ex-
press the views of the administration
of Gen. Herrera. He said that the gov
eminent would at once address an en-
ergetic protest to all friendly nations, as
well as to the United States, against
annexation; that diplomatic relations
with this country would ;hereupon ter
inmate. He said the government felt
itself strong enough for the emergency
without the grant of additional pow
ers, and trusted that, instead ola gre
vious calamity, annexation might
really prove blessing to Mexico, by
uniting all her people in determined
effort to maintain their rights; and pre-
serve the integrity of the republic,
The President Of the two Chambers re-
sponded in much the same strain.
The tone of the journals generally
is warlike; but there is no definite con-
clusion yet made to 60 to war. The
only alarming fact to recordi is the de-
parture of the English frigate, the Eu-
rydice, for Galveston, with an offer, il
was believed, for The Mexican goyerrd
ment to recognize the independence "

FREDERICK.

We copy the following returns for
this county from an extra issued from
the Republican Office. It will be seen
that the democratic candidates for
the Legislature have been de feated by
the excitement relative to the congress
sional candidates and bad ms nagement
together. The votes for Bed niger and
Lucas, in the county, are less, and
those for Carson and Lovett are 1,555;
showing difference of 467. The
wing candidates received 1866, and
the democratic candidates, for the Lee
gislature, l bob; making a difference
of 100 votes. The difference between
the majority Of Carson and ] rovett over
Bedinger ard Lucas, and that Of Wall
and Gather over Carson and Lovett, is
367. The result stands:

The following is the result of the
election in this county. Denis pn and

be seen that at the precincts within the
limits Of the proposed new county,
there is majority of 208 aga inst it.
We have not heard from the precincts
interested in the question Of division
In Rockingham but presume hat the
vote has been almostunanimoas against
division. According, therefore tothe
existing rule of the Legislature which
requires the consent of a majority Of
the voters within the limits of a propos-
eG new county, the measure cannot

had determined on war 1.-THE rise in
Stock market in New York, is, howey-
er, any sign, the chances of a rupture
are very distant.
A Joint commission of the two Hou-
ses was appointed to examine and re-
ply TO the request of Santa Anna, to be-
permitted to leave the republic, and to
be allowed to abdicate the Presidency.
The majority of the commission refuse
both requests in direct and positive,
terms. A separate report was submit
ted by the minority, in which they con-
tend that not only was it expedient to
grant the prayer Of Santa Anna, butthat
they had no constitutional right to ex,
anime the question.
Reyes was condemned be cashier
ed, deprived of his rank, dignities and
salary, and confined ten years in for
tress to be chosen by the government.
He was likewise declared incapable
hereafter of filling any of the offices
heretofore exercised by him.
The Generals and Chiefs who ac-
companied Santa Anna in his last
struggle against the government have
been ordered to Puebla, TO be tried
there.
Three days later intelligence, re-
ceiyed as we are going to press, does
not alter the character of our informa-
ton. The Mexican government has
however, suspended all diplomatic in
tercourse with the United States
There was also secret session ftheir
House of Representatives, where it was
proposed to close Immediate all COM
munication with the United States; to
prohibit the introduction of her cotton
and manufactures, and issue letters Of
ofmarqse. The proposition, however,
was no, definitely acted on;and no steps
appear to have been taken beyond
sending protests to the representatives
of England and France, and an ad.
dress TO the Governors ofDepartments,
advising them to be prepared for what.
ever emergency might arise, and sus-
pending diplomatic relations between
the two countries.
The news from Texas shows that a
large majority Of the people are in ia
your of annexation, though lii Inc city
Of Galveston the population is about
equally divided in opinion. The Pres.
ident, DR.. Jones, is opposed to the
joint-resolutions;. and is said to have
made an agreement with the English
and French ministers to postpone CAL
ling Congress together as long as pos
sible, in order that they may hear from
their government. The Eurydice had
arrived at Galveston, but her despatch
es contain no definite proposition from
Mexico; but are merely an urgent solic-
itation to the Government of Texas,
from the English representative at
Mexico, to postpone all action on the
the subject Of annexation, in the event
of any measure for that purpose being
adopted by the United States, until in
telligence of the adoption Of the meas
ure could reach Europe, and further
communications thereupon be Trans
mitted from England and france to
Texas.-.Neal's Saturday Gazette.
