"OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO"
THE TREATY RATIFIED BY THE SENATE OF
United STATES

From the Wash Union Of Friday night of last ,ceek.
The Senate adjourned, tonight, few minutes past
o'clock after session in closed doors of nine hours.
The abors of the Senate have been very severe for
several days.
We congratulate the country the result of their
deliberations. The Treaty has been ratified, it is
understood by vote of 3S to l5-three Senators, of
course, being absent.
1t is said that the original Treaty has been ratified
with some modfcations-as proposed by the Senate,
or adopted by the Senate.
The seal of secrecy has not been removed; and in
fact we do not understand that any proposition
made to that effect 1t cannot, therefore, be
pected that we should at this time enter into any
specifications Of the precise notifications that have
been adopted, of the names of the Senators who
voted in the affirmative or negative 1t is presumed
however, that the boundary line, said to have been
originally specified by the Treaty, the amount of
the money to be paid has not been changed by these
notifications.
We congratulate the country upon the result-as
furnishing some hope and augury of the restor
alton of peace. We trust that the Mexican Govern
ment will not be blind to the true interests of both
countries to refuse its final ratification of the
Treaty, about to be sent back to them. We
have obtained glory enough by our yalor. We shall
rejoice if the blessings of peace shall succeed
the clash of arms.
We shall wait, of course, with some anxiety for
the decision of the President and Congress of Mex
leo. We presume that intelligence of the general
result will be Immediately forwarded by a special
express to our commanding officer in Mexco-to be
followed, as possible, by an authentic copy Of
the ratified Treaty, and with accompanying nstruc
tions.
The President has promptly and wisely waived all
unnecessary objections the rregnlarity of the man.
ner in which the Treaty formed. The sanction
which it has received from the President and the
Commissioners of Mexico stamps it their official
act.
The ratification which it receives from the Senate
of the United States cures all the informality with
which il made on the other side.

DISORDERS IN VENEZUELA.

Truly, the curse of the ancient Incas has fallen
heavily upon the Spanish States Of America The
cruees of Pizarro Cortes, and their followers have
not been unavenged The States which the valor of
the old Gothic Adventures wrestcd from the feeble
Children of the Sun, and added to the magnificent
empire of old Spain, have been the theatre OF con
tnual revolutions and bloodshed. Mingling freely
with the Indian race, the Spaniards, unlike the set
tiers of the Northern portion of the continent, came
10 the country for adventure for wealth. not for per-
mancnt settlement and peaceful pursuits lhey
brought no females with them, but by freely inter-
mingling with the natives, produced the mixed races
which at present compose the mass OF the population
The ties which bound them to the mother country
were severed by the extinction OF the old cavaliers
and the and mixed soon arose against their
Spanish rulers. They achieved their independence
after gallant struggles. Mexico, Central America
and Colombia were the first States TO throw oft the
Spanish rule. They established Republican Govern
mcnts modelled upon our own, and commenced their
independent under the most promising circum-
stances But, alas! they soon began to be involved in
internal discussions and revolutions, and IT was not
long before il was discovered that they had made
great mistake in imagining they possessed the capa-
city for self government. The Mexicans had hardly
seen her heroic patriots-her Hidalgos, Morelos,
Metamorosin the grave, before they began 10 divide
into contendng factions and TO involve the country
in one continued revolution and strife. Their his
tory from the very commencement OF their indepen-
dence exhibits melancholy series of domestic dis
sensions, and consequent depression and decline In
all the elements of prosperity, terminating in her
conquest and occupation by a neighboring Republic,
whose anger she had aroused.
| The States of Central America achieved their IN
dependence at the same time with Mexico, and par
ticipated in some of the revolutions which agitated
that country. But finally these States settled dowI
into an appearance of harmony and quietude, which
| continued for few years. Finally. however, the
Genius of Discord SO inseparable from the Spansl

8 cts. Whiskey selling in brls. at % cts.
At Philadelphia: The Daily News of Thursday

THE IRON BUSINESS, AND TARIFF
OF 1916.

On the next page will be found the notice of
meeting of Iron Masters to be held Harrisburgh,
Penns lvana, on 22d of this month, (next Wednes-
day. We presume there will be many persons
present interested in the business who not imme
diately embraced in the call to attend-mcn from
other states, very probably-and we hope good
will result from their deliberations.
The article of Baltimore Pig Iron was up in this
market last fall to $35 per ton; and dealers were
doing profitable business; but the tariff of 1916, being
particularly favorable to imported Metals, holders Of
Scotch Pig in England made large shipments to this
country, until the price which at time was up TO
about S40 in New York, has since been sold low
$25! But it has recently become frmcr, and last
week so tons commanded $26.50 per ton. In this
market, Baltimore No. Charcoal Pig Iron cannot be
sold, we are assured, without loss to manufactu-
at $25 per tom and yet what else can they do!
Here is competition presenting itself, and the tariff
of lS46 strengthening it-and as there have many
thousand tons of some of the celebrated Scotch
brands arrived in the United States, and due pro-
portion of them here, it will become those patriotic
friends of home industry to take early measures TO
have this stigma upon the independence of our
try removed. Ours is an Iron country, and it is
reflection upon it that such staple should be brought
in collision with a similar, but foreign article, by
law of our cnactIng.

AdvantageS Of Competition.-By the 4th of July
next, the interchangeable ORcilly will have completed
1000 miles of Telegraph posts wires and stations for
the conveyance of intelligence thus bringing together
distant sections of the Union. On his n Orleans
line, he no part of Morses plan, and the charge

acted by Smith and Kendall the Atlantic coast.
They discourage the cipher and all ab6reviations-
O'Reilly encourages both How is half the expense
saved to the merchants, the public, and the press?
Because the enormous charges made for the use of
disputed patent, by Smith s Kendall, do not apply
to this route. Whenever the Legislature of New
York shall pass general bill, citizens here will
effect like saving and the the better. Tele
graphers should also be brought under the laws ap-
plicablc to common carriers.

Aduance of Toll Rates on ". Y CdnalS.-We
understand, saws the Albany Atlas, that the
Canal Board has raised the tolls the Canals, upon
sugar, moasscs, coffee, crockery, nails, iron and
spikes, from five mills to mills per 1000
pounds per mile. A number OF our merchants and
iorwardtrs are making strong representation against
this discrimination, which, they say, is likely 10
force the business of transportation these articles
into other channels equally to the dctrment of our
manufactures and commerce. They urge that these
articles, (Which now constitute large part of the
up freight on the river and cana) will not bear the
additional charges of toll, and that those parts Of
Ohio Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan, which now
supplied from this direction, will be induced by it
to seek the more southern markets. Urgent protcs
tations have been made to the Board against the
change, (Which seems 10 have been made without
any petitions the subjcct,) with what effect re-
mains to be seen.

Susquehanna Steam Tow Boat Company.

Susquehanna steam TOW Boat Company
The steam boat Lancaster, the remaining boat be-
longing to this line was launched the 9th inst.
from the yard of Messrs. j. S. Brown & Co., her
builder, and hauled to the wharf of Messrs Recder,
along side of her sister, the Junata, noticed in the
Journal of 29th January, for the purpose of having
her machinery fitted, &c., which will be done with
all possible expedition and both boats will be in
readiness for operation we informed, in all the
coming month of April.
The Juniattu is 1877 feet in length, 25 in breadth,
and y in depth, and measures 40 tons; and the
Lancaster 1879 feet in length and Of the same breadth
and depth of the Junatta, and measures l43 tons.
Both boats as we have stated on former occasion,
are built throughout of the best materials that the
country could afford, and they have been put together
by competent and faithful workmen; and from their
adaptation the purpose for which they are intend
ed and the power of their engines leach 100 horses)
it is thought their speed will be IA to Is miles per
