Judge Nicholas Court. No counsel appeared
in behalf of Ex-Governor Thomas.

of Cumberland, Mr.. Richard Grason, of Mary
land, Or. WIN. Tyler, Of Frederick city, Nd,
Mr.. Robert Taylor, of Lexington, Va, and

MEXICAN INDEMNITY.

We find in the New York Tribune letter from
Gen. Santa Ana to Charles Callahan, Esq. mer-
chant Of that city, which contains the following
passages respecting the missing Mexican install
ments:
HAVANA, 10Th Nov. 1916.
The instruments were most punctualy paid, in
ready cash, during the time l was at the head o!
government. But, as on the 30th of April of last
year, had Withdrawn from public business and
retired 10 my farms, and as both the Constitution
and my character did not allow the President to
mingle In public affairs during absence, l coniin-
ed myself to recommending the payment TO the
President pro fempore, General Valentin Canai-
20, and to the Minister of Finance, Don Ignacio
a ngueros; and when the other instalment of Ju-
y ~, o, which you speak, expired, having then
resumed my functions, dictated all the necessa-
~ measures, and positively ordered the Secre,a-
Va ,.e treasury TO make the payment in specie
;ceJofelng 10 my anterior provisions so that. if
in bills or drafts, that funciionary violated his
duties by disobeying my commands, and the
agent Don Emilio Voss was not less guilty in
receiving, as he received, according to what YOU
say, the amount in paper. At the same period l
dictated, in advance, other orders for the payment
OF the successive instaments with all exacli,ude,
and In ready cash for, the people having contri-
outed 1t In cash, resolved and ordered that the
money should not be employed for any other pur-
pose, and my conversation with the Minister
shannon, which you mention, alludes to this.
In snort, IN my opinion, the instalments TO
which you refer, were paid in ready cash but,
hHis not SO, the Minister and the agent, Voss,
are responsible the former for having disobeyed
my positive orders, and the latter for not having
fuihlled the orders of his constituents

The following paragraph from an article in the

partisan editorials:
"The Wing members avow their determination
TO rally around their country in case Of war ;
and who would not hail such an exhibition with
enthusiasm Give us union, and we may DEFY
world In arms. Let both Wings and Demo-
'cfats determine to stand by their Government

peace or an honorable war;

means have utterly failed. We believe that the

Get MARRIED.-A European Philosopher has
furnished the world with some very interesting
statistics, showing the benefit OF marriage-life--
ne says among unmarried men, at the ages of
from thirty to forty-fve, the average number of
deaths are only eighteen. For forty-one bache-
Tors who attain the age of forty, there are seventy
ei@ht married men who do the same. AS age
advances, the difference becomes more striking.
AT sixty there are only twenty-five unmarried
men alive, for ninety Eight who have been mar
ried. AT seventy there are eleven bachelors to
twenty seven married men, and at eighty there
are nine married men for three single ones. Near
~ the same rule holds good in relation 10 the
female sex. Married women at the age Of thirty,
taken one with another, may expect TO live
thiIty-six years longer; while for the unmar-
RED the expectation of life is only about thr.
~ years. VI those who attain the age of forty.
nve, there are seventy-two married women for
hity'two single ladies. These data are The re-
suit OF actual facts, by observing the difference
OIL longevity between the married and the un-
married.

REPORT OF A NEW REVOLUTION IN
MEXICO

private letter was received TO day from IIa-
vana. of the 9th ult., from respectable ouafter.
stating that the English steamer had Just arrived
from Vera Ctuz, bringing the intelligence thai
dispatches had been received an hour or Two be-
fore the sailing of the steamer, and that Paredes.
at the head Of 5000 men, is marching on to the
city of Mexico from ST. Louis Poiosi, 800 miles
on, and that there will be no opposition to him
in the city. The grounds of his pronunciamento
are, the intention Of the government to enter into
a treaty with the United States for the annexa
ton of Texas. 1t is suspected that foreign ma
ton was indirectly concerned in the movement.
IL Ia said that the dispatches were received on
the same day that Mr.. Slidell left Vera Cruz.

FRANcE-THE UNITED srAfEs-okE6oN.
Many Of our citizens have teli anxious 20 heal
how France would receive the complaints Of in.
reference which MIR. Polk, in his late Message
made against her, for interfering in the affairs Of
Texas annexation. We have yet to hear from
Mr.. Guisct and his fellow laborers, but the edi-
tor Of the Courier des Etats Unis, who has re-
Gently been with these statesmen, is Of opinion
that they will find cause 10 recriminate. The
New York Courier translates the following: =
"rhe French Government will be deeply
wounded by this accusation Of treason and isi-
frigue, (the word is there at full length, openly
cast upon il from the Presidential chair. And,
let us say II, the French Cabinet will not be
wounded without reason. Whether the policy il
adopted on the Texan question were good or bad,
1t owes no account OF it other than to its own
country and 10 It's own conscience, and il belongs
not TO any foreign government to constitute itself
the Judge thereof. The accusation preferred BY
MIR. Polk against the policy Of NJ. Guizot, will
SO much the more irrlate the latter, rs it will be
In the hands Of the opposition In France sharp
weapon; the left of the Chamber will scourge
numerically the policy of the ministry. But
M. GuIzot is not patient victim, and when he
turns upon his adyersaries, his return blow usu.
ally leaves one or more Of them on the ground.
We are much deceived-or Mr.. Polk will have
his share IN these vigorous reprisals.''
On the subject of Oregon, Mr.. Galiardet saws ::

~ against the American claim, owing 10 work
published by NJ. De Mofras; but later informa-
'ion has changed public opinion in favor OF the
Americans, and this change of opinion is opera
ting In England"
Mr.. Galardet thus closes his remarks :-"The
necessity of a compromise, more extensive than
any ultilnatum yet presented, will be facility, ii
not publicly admitted. and diplomacy will yet be
allowed to cut the apple of discord. The United
States, however, will get the largest part. Such
will be, We hope, the result Of this political EN-.
broilment, which will cease to be a nelodrama,
when the public shall be fully enlightened upon
its merits."-Bah. finer.
