The Mexican News-Trouble on Trouble.
The highly important news from Mexico, which
we give IN another column, giving an account OF
the progress Of the new revolution in that unhappy
country, is only of character to whet the appetite
for more.
When will there be an end to revolutions in Mex

PosT MASTER MORRIS AND THE PILors.-Post
Master Morris, or the Paper Snatcher," as HIS
new friends in Wall street called him a few years
ago, has got himself into a pretty pickle with the
pilots OF this city. The famous letter which he gave
a OF certificate to the Wall street journals,
intending il TO be used evidence against the
honesty and integrity Of the New York pilots who
brought the recent news to this city, exhibits to the
community the weakness, Imbecility, and igno-
rance OF that public functonary in his own official
duties, which calls for the attention of the Pres-
dent and the Post Master General. The ridiculous
blunders, contradictions and mystifications, which
that paper contains, have been set in the broadcast
light by the honest and straightforward letters and
atfidavts put forth by the pilots, under the sacred
ness OF their oath.
BY these afiidavts and ingenious statements, it
appears that the packages Of papers belonging to the
Wall street journals, were duly deposited in the
Post office, and were found next morn ng; and yet
Post Master Norris aiias the "Paper Snatcher,"
