WASHINGTON, July 5, 1913
The Ratified IrcGfy-1he Senate.

DIR. ReyburD, Of New Orleans, who went out to
Mexico with Mr.. Sewer, as medical aitucie, ar
rved In this city last evening, bearing with him
the ratified treaty, and sum of money amounting
TO between twelve and thirteen millions of dollars
Dr. Reyburn parted with Mr.. Sewer at New Or
leans, the latter proceeding up the river, towards
his home, in Arkansas He is expected to arrive
here In few days. DR.. Reybum describes the
Mexicans as impressed with the belief that if the
war should ever be renewed, this country would
inevitably swallow up the whole of theirs. The
commissioners were received and treated, not
with cordially, but with great respect. A sump-
tuous residence was assigned them at Queretaro,
and they were furnished with servants and every
luxury they could desire Indeed, one of the oupo-
siuon paIers IN that city, accused their entertain
ers OF supplying them with certain Injuries forbid
On IN the code OF good morals-but the Doctor
declares this was pure SANDER
A cabinet council was held TODAY. and il was
Tcsciyed 10 lay the treaty before the Senate forth
with. IL VIII be accompanied by message from
he President, congIatulating the country in mag
ntioquent terms on the return of peace and imme-
daieiy alter The final action of the Senate, there
VIII be issued proclamation of peace between
the Two countries. May II be lasting--not with
Mexico alone, but with the world. But of this
there can be no certainty, while the precarlous
iatons between Spain and England render the oc-
cupation OF Cuba by the latter matter of POSI-
bic occurrence.
Doctor Reybum speaks in very encomastic
terms OF the appearance of the Mexican Congress.
lie describes most Of lis members as men OF most
grave aspect and dignifed department. What
commentary on The speech of Mr.. Senator Man
gum on Monday last That gentleman INDUCED
IN an unmeasured quantity of vituperaton against
the press-he usual butt of those who, for partlc-
ular reasons, wish to crush public opinion. He
remarked, very unhappy, that if any man escaped
the attacks OF the press, II is not by Of his
virtue, but OF his insigniiicance. Il would be but
fair 10 argue that, as Mr. Mangum has been uni
formly treated with great forbearance by the press
according 10 his own reasoning, his impunity is
attributable not TO any sublimity of virtue that he
possesses, but TO the fact that he is too contemplate
for notice. The deduction is from his own argu-
ment, not mine Indeed, any one desiring to re-
spect Mr. Mangum, could not fail to regret his very
humiliating exhibition on Monday last His speech
not only abounded in the slang of the stump, but
was illustrated and diversified by gesticulations
and mouniebanklsmw which would have been laugh
able In clown, but in Senator were painful to
witness. But what was in the worst possible taste,
was his most undignified abuse of the Mexlcans-
calling Them after the manner, and in the very
language of Mr.. Folks organ, g debased people,"
This stupid and brutal abuse was INDUCED in by
the Presidents organ when at war with
Mexico, that that journal is by no means so re-
prehensible as Mr.. Mangum, who re-echoes this
abuse at time when we are at peace with that
nation, and therefore bound to treat her at least
with decency And yet, Mr. Mangum is one of
the sticklers for the dignity of the Senate.
