The President and santa Anna.

Wing orators and editors have had good deal to
say about President Folks allosoing Santa Anna to
return from Havana to Mexico. There is more sense
in the following arguments of the Baltimore Sun than
in all the humbugs which lave been uttered on the
subject:
"Supposing the President had given Commodore
Conner orders make Santa Anna prisoner, and the
war, as is most probable, had continued under the
military rule of Paredes would the President have
been accused of having united the enemies by keeping
away from them the only instrument of dissention and
discordi Would he not have been charged with CIV
ing 50 aid and comfort to the Mexicans2" Would he
not have been rdcued for having suffered so eminent
an opportunity of dsconcertng the enemies to pass
by unimproyed, when he could have gained signal
advantage over them merely by letting things take
their natural coursei And what if Paroles had sue
ceeded in his diplomatic negotiations with Europe !!
What if he had been successful in establishing monar-
chy on our southern borders!
But what right had take Santa Anna prisoner 7
Was he a prisoner of war, or Mexican, clothed
with authority at the time of his leaving the Havana
How would the. act have told in Europe! And what
would England have said if we had taken the private
citizen, Santa Anna, from on board of one of her
steamers, and under the protection of her own flag
These things are worthy of consideration in these
times
1t was never pretended by tny European iurist,
that England was justified in retaining the private
citizen, Napoleon Bonaparte at the island of ST. He
lena and she herself excused the infamous act only
with reasons of State and the principle of self pres
ervation but what good reason could zoe have fur
nished if we had seized upon the cock-fghting ex-
President, then in exile, to keep him as hostage
Would not the whole civilized world have cried out
shame, and usurpation And was it worth while
on our part, to risk augh to do thing the policy of
which was in itself doubtful"

The News.


We had an eastern mail last night,-the first for
some days. We huddle the most important items
together, as follows:
WASHINGTON, Dec %, 1916.

From the Army.

BRAZos SANTIAGO, Nov. %, 1916.
have little news from Monterey, as late as the
10Th of November. Two regiments of Indiana VOL
unteers, the I'd and. Sd, and Lieutenant Mackali's

Gen. Worth.
Gen. Twigg's division is its march for Victoria

Of inflammation of the bowels.
Gen. Butler will remain in command at Monterey.
Gen. Taylor was to move, in column, the Sth.
9th, and 10th inst, for Victoria, with about 1900
men. Victoria is equi-dstant from Monterey and
Tampico, and it supposed that Gea Taylor would
make that place his head quarters.
No further demonstration would be made towards
San Luis Poosi until further orders from Govern
ment.
Gen. Taylor had imprisoned the Alcade of Monte
rey and his son, and several rdente honbreS for fur
nshing money and horses to deserers from the Amer

Late from Mexico.

The New York Tribune has advices from Vera
Cruz as late as December 2. From that paper we
make the following abstract:
The war engroSSes public attention. All seem TO
agree that the last struggle must be ut San Luis.
Santa Anna there with d, 900 men and 80 pieces
of artillery. New troops were continually arriving.
1t is calculated that before Gen. Taylor can arrive
there will be $4,000 men at San Luis.
The papers speak in high terms of the discipline of
the army.
At San Luis every thing in the shape of iron was
being manufactured into weapons. 1000 women had
come voluntarily to the camp to assist in making
preparations.
Santa Anna had grand review of the whole army
on the 18th of November. So overpowered was he
by the boundless enthusiasm which greeted him he
passed along the lines that his feelings overcame
him, and the tears rolled down his swarthy cheeks,
amid the prolonged huzzas of the various regiments
and cries of Victory or Death !''' "God and Lib
erty ~ "Long live Santa Anna ~ I'VE will beat
the Yankees this time !" sc. &c.
For fear that San Luis may be taken they are for
tifying the road to the capital.
The evacuation of Tampico is accounted for on the
plea that the yellow fever would fight harder for them
at that place than the troops could.
Accounts from chihuahua confirm the news of the
arrest Of the traders Coffin, Connolly and Francisco,
and the confiscation of their property.
Meantime in the Cabinet at Mexico, Almonte has
succeeded Tameriz. Almonte is the popular candi-
date for the Presidency. Santa Anna declines the
nomination.
In the various departments arrangements have been
made for restoring the State Governments to their for
mer condition under the constitution of 1924.
The government of Yucatan has ratified the re-an-
nexaton Of that State and the adoption Of the Con-
stitution of "a.

The report Of this gentleman, as chairman OF the
Select Committee that part Of the Governors mes
sage relating to the tariff Is curious affair. 1t is
made up Of round assertions, deceptive data and al
lusons to politics in general The only argument
in the report attempt to infer that the decrease
in the price of several manufactured articles, arises
from the protective duties imposed articles Of the
same description imported from abroad He leaves out
of view the fact that an inflated currency at one time
greatly increased the price of many protected articles
and that diminished currency decreased their price,
all without regard to the rate Of projections and the
further fact, that general reduction in the market
value Of manufactured goods, has been produced by
the vast improvements in machinery. He says wages
have in instances been increased but forgets TO
mention that men have to a great extent taken the
place of girls in the factories and that the number of
hands employed to do the same amount of work, is
now less by one half than it ten years ago.
owing to the Improvements in machinery. Equally
blind does he seem to the fact that the increased ia
ciIites for transportation both by land and water,
have, by diminishing freights and charges, lessened
prices to the consumer; well as to the fact repeated
often enough by Adams, Clay, and other wing leaders,
that these duties enter into the price of goods and OF
consequence enhance their cost TO the consumer. He

petition, if protection withdrawn or reduced,
whereas it will soon be seen, that the lower duties
become, the greater will be the competition, and pr-
will fall accordingly all of which will enure to
the benefit of the farmers of Indiana, and they will
have to bless the day when the tariff was re-
duced to the revenue standard. We hope Mr.. Thomp-
will live long enough to enjoy for many years, in
common with his fellow citizens the manifold bles-
sings flowing from the reduced duties of present
revenue tariff That the present liberal policy will
remain and become the settled policy of the country,
have every confidence well from the fact of its
favorable bearing the industry of our people, as
from the circumstance that the reduction of duties in
this country, is simultaneous with the adoption of a
similar liberal policy by the most enlightened COM
mercial powers of Europe. A reform salutary
and so general, cannot fail to commend itself SO
strongly the good sense, patriotism and interest Of
the world as to ensure its continuance where it has
commenced, and its adoption by all who witness Its
influence upon the commerce and industry of the
world
The report is not likely to do much mischief, and
it contains peasantries which we cordially for
give for the that they indicate that the writer's
intentions were as harmless as his arguments.

MIR. DoMIing,s Report.

The report of the minority of the committee, on
the bill providing for convention to revise the Con-
stitution is the most remarkable medley OF contra
dictions and disjointed sophisms, we have had the
pleasure of perusing for long time. We should
suppose that the minority proceeded on the principle
of division of labor; and that being, they init
mate, pressed for time, each member sat down and
wrote what he thought the subject, and these de-
sached parts were spced together to form what they
have submitted as their report. It will readily be
perceived, that to attempt an analysis of such an
unique piece of patchwork, is no easy task. So we
have found, after making the attempt in good earn
est and we shall therefore content ourselves with
noticing few points made by the committee, not in
the hope of refuting their positions whole; for
though the document is brief, its assumptions are
various and conflicting that it proves every thing
nothing, just according to the readers fancy. In
fact, the report frankly staes that the minority diff
fered among themselves, as to the most important
question under consideration from which fact we
are confirmed in the impression, that the document
was framed with view to give expression tC
all their various opinions, rather than with any
regard to congruity unity in its argument
The minority admit that "the people are the true
sources of all political power,' and that the gov
eInmenl 10 lOuhuFu uPOh uSH wiz o"' HO.
also contend that the constitution cannot be chang
ed by them, except in the manner provided il
the Constitution: and in the same breath almost
they admit that if majority of the voters had, a
the last election, voted for convention, it wou
have been competent for the legislature to hav
called it. They inform u.s. that they differ to tn
question of expediency, and also to the power 0
the people to revise the constitution at this time,
though majority of the people had voted for it. Cal
such arguments need any further refutation than tina
which they furnish to themselves! "Who shall de
eide when doctors disagree !''-especiolly when, a
in this case, they disagree, not merely with eacl
other, but each one with himself! The mutual ami
hilation of the 80 Kilkenny CATS was kittens
play, to the selfsaugher perpetrated by this mino
rity. We cannot find it in hearts to add on
blow to the selfinhctons of the authors of this re
port; and therefore leave them to the tender mer
cies of an indulgent public.

0trThe law of 1871 (page I4l) says, +" that in
the month of January, 1541, and every three years
thereafter the two houses of the General Assembly,
shall choose by joint ballot, Public Printer serve
for three years, from and after the first day of August
next, after each of said elections" The Revised
Statutes of 1913 re-enacts that there shall be elect
ed triennially counting from the month of January,
1871, by the General Assembly, on joint ballot a
State Printer, who shall serve for three years." &c.
This law has subsequently only been far changed
as to require the election to be rira roce
We take the above extracts from the " Journal" Of
"Wednesday. The acts referred to are, doubt cor
rectly quoted and it will be seen at once, that the
Statute of 1913 has materially changed that of 1884,
so far Us regards the time prescribed for holding the
election The act Of 1871 provided that the election
should be held the month of January, while that OF
1913 prescibes that it shall be held ienniay, count
ing from the month of January, IS41. Now as the
last mentioned act repeats the other its provisions
must prevail and if the argument Of our correspond
ent published few days since, that in counting from
month we must count from the end of the month, be
correct, 1t is plain, that under the present law the
election cannot be held until after the present month
Of January has expired
We merely throw out these suggestions for the con-
sderaton Of contemporaries, who are, doubtless
anxious that the proper construction should be placed
upon the law. We should be glad to have the benefit
of their advice as the proper legal Specification of the
word FROM" it occurs in the above act, and, as
an illustration, We would like them to inform US, il
they should give their note payable twenty thirty
days from the month of January, 1s47, at what time
they would consider il to be due.

TEA AND COFFEE DUTY.-Somehing has been said
in relation to the levy of small duty upon and
coffee, for the purpose of supporting the war ex-
penses; and the proposition has been opposed by
some The protecticaists desire duties be laid
On such articles as will give them advantage in
the increased price of the home article well as the
foreign one. On this subject the Journal of Com
MERGE remarks:
''The Western and Southern people cannot always
remain in so great an error to suppose duty on
tea and coffee more burthensome than on sugar They
must by this time that they have for years been
paying FIVE millions of dollars annually into the pock
cts Of the Louisiana sugar planters and that all duties
imposed on merchandise such is produced within
the country, much more burthensome than duties
tee and coffee because the increased price on the
latter articles goes all of into the public treasury
while to articles partly produced and partly inn
ported. the price of the whole is increased, and only
the increase the imported portion goes to the
treasury"
There can be no doubt about the truth Of this.
