IMPORTANT RELATIVE TO THE TEHuANrE-
PEG TKEArY-We learn from an undoubted
source, that the English government has been
solicited by the republic of Mexico to mediate
in the Tehuantepec question, concerning the
late resolution Of the Senate in relation to the
Garay grant. The support of that government
is asked, in consequence of note received from,
our Secretary of State, in which he expresses
his satisfaction at the annulment of the decree
Of the 9Th OF November, 1876, which note has
prod need feeling OF alarm and uneasiness with
the Mexican government.
This news corroborates, in part, that which
was published in the .4rco IRIS, Of Vera Cruz, OF
the 10th Of July last, in reference to this note
from our Secretary OF State. We must not for
get, that to the suggestions of Mr. Doyle, British
| Minister al Mexico, is due the declaration o
the Senate against the decree of Gen. S las, b,
which means the right % restraining the etfrc
Of the privileges granted to Mr.. Garay, for the
opening and colonization of the lsthmus of TIE
huantepec, or more properly, to throw obstacles
in the way of the North American Company
by whom these privileges have been acquired
from British subjects, to whom the Mexlcar
government, or Congress, never opposed any
objection or dificulty.-.N. Y. Herald.

Phillips Fire Annihilator,

1t will, no doubt, have been observed that
company in this country has been organized for the
purpose of furnishing the public with this extra
ordinary and most useful machine Its proper
ties have been fully tested and it has been pro-
nounced equal to the accomplishment of all that
has been claimed for it by its fortunate inventor
Wholly unprotected as our city is, from the rava-
ges of the destroying element it is not unnatural
that our attention should be directed to the i'm
portancc of this invention. Much has been said
from time to time with reference to matters Of
public interest, such as fire associations, military
companies, harbor improvements, &c. But
second to our harbor improvement, there is no
other consideration of so great importance to our
city as the adoption of some adequate protection
against fire. The present fire organization is
very good as far as it goes but, in the event of
any considerable fire, must prove comparatively
ineffective Why the purchase Of a Fire Engine
has never been deemed necessary by the city
we are at loss to determine, unless upon the
ground that it would be in great measure de-
prived of its utility by the absence of sufficiently
water power to keep it supplied and yet we are
warned against coming to this conclusion by the
fact, that the adoption Of the suction process
from the river would fully obviate any difficult,
on the of want of adj quate water facilities.
Surely nothing is of greater local importance
to any city than ample and sufficient provisions
against the ravages of fire. How often is it that
we hear of accumulated wealth of years of toll
ing industry having been, swept away in few
minutes, even where these provisions would seem
ample We think that it is time that our citizens
should begin to think of this matter. 1t was per-
haps Mt so very important some few years ago.
when the town was small and the few buildings
that it contained were scattered over large
space but now that it has assumed the density
as well as name of city, with whole blocks of
exposed to the dangers Of an ac-
cident to any one, the subject assumes tangi
bic form and demands the consideration of every
property holder and business man in the COM
munty. Arrangements should be made by the
cay es:' hor.ies others to procure a suitable |
number of !" Philip Cise annih:la at the |
earliest moment, as being the best, mcste1S.s-r,.
ical and efficient instrument: Of the kind ever
brought into use. There are considerations apart
from the mere protection to property, which
should induce business men especially to move
in this matter 1t will be found that wherever
these Engines are in general preparation for
use, premiums upon insurances will be greatly |
reduced for zine times out of every ten, where
losses occur by fire, the damage to property,
where the Annihilator is introduced will be mere
ly nominal where heretofore it has been just the |
reverse. The consequence will be that Insur-
ance Companies must come down in proportion
as the risk is decreased

The St. Louis papers, we see, are becoming
more fully sensible of the vast Importance of
the growing trade of the Upper Mississippi
country, and are consequently beginning seri
ouslv to agitate the subject Of the improvement
Of the Rapids. The inconvenience, delay and
expense, which these distractions to the easy
navigation Of the river have caused to the peo-
pie of Northern Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota, have been already immense, and we
shall be impeied by a just appreciation of our
own interests to CO operate most heartily with
any efforts that ST. Louis may put forth to
remedy the evil st Louis has already delayed
this business too long, as very soon we must
have another ontlet, which must as a matter Of
course lessen our interest in the improvement.
Yet it will not be denied that our people still
feel very deep interest in the matter, and are
anxious to do anything in their power to re-
move these distractions as soon as possible.
1t is an improvement which we consider
emphaticaly national one in its character: and
alton from the National Treasury than are many
others in the country, upon which we may al
most say countless thousands of the peoples
money have been expended and we do believe
that if proper pains should be taken to present
the subject before congress, by petitions &c. i,
would meet with the most favorable action of
taat body. 1t is true, that our Senators and
Representatives from Iowa have already inter
ested themselves in the matter to the fullest ex
tent. But they must have the earnest cooper
alton of the press, and the voice Of the people
to assist them. Let the people then speak and
make known their continents and let them
not only speak, but let them act also, if need be,
by private subscription, by individual enterprise
and exertion. We have no doubt Of the feast.
bllty of such improvement its ultimate i'm
portancc must be clear to all.

FIpELITY.-Never forsake friend. When
enemies gather around-w hen sickness falls or
the heart--when the world is dark and cherries
is the time to try true friendship. The heart
that has been touched will redouble its efforts
when the friend is sad or in trouble. Adversely
tries true friendship. They who turn from the
scene of distress betray their hypocrisy and
prove that interest only moves them. If yor
have friend who loves you-who has studied
your interest and happiness, be you sustain
him in adversely. Let him feel that his former
kindness is appreciated that his love was no
thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare, bu
exists in the heart Who has not seen and fel
it's power? They only deny its worth and pow
er who have never either loved friend Or la
bored to make him happy.-The good and kind
the affectionate and virtuous, see and feel the
heavenly principle. They would sacrifice wealth
aud happiness to promote the happiness o
others, and in return they receive the reward
of the love by sympathising hearts and count
less favors when they have been brought low BY
distress and adversely

The Now Code and Its Difficulties.

| The Now Code and Its Diffic ulties.
| A few days ago, we noticed this subject will
the view of touching upon it at another time
Our last remarks had exclusive reference to the
attacks made upon it, an instrument wholly
inadequate to the purposes for which it was de
signed We purpose, for the present, to con-
slider the question, which has been very gene
rally canvassed by most of the papers through
out the State, viz :" Is the new code in force -
Such question at this time appears somewhat
ludcrous, when we CONSIDER that the opinion
has universally prevailed, that it has been IN
operation since the first day of July last, as ex
pressly laid down page 472. But, when, on
the other hand, it is confidently asserted by
discriminating Judges, that the code is not yet
in force, the question becomes one Of grave con.
sderation, in as much as, if it be true that it is
not in force, than all elections Of county officers
and all proceedings done and instituted under
its provisions are null and void. Here is pre-
sented labyrinth of interminable difficulties.
and one which, if its existence be affirmed by
the superior tribunals of the State, must become
quences. Quo Warrentos are already in pro-
gross Of judicial investigation in some of the
lower Counties, fol The purpose of obtaining the
opinion and decision Of the Supreme Court on
Suppose that they should entertain the opinion
that, technically considered, the code is not in
torce, are they going to so decide it, We are
inclined to think not. The magnitude of the
question at issne, is one which not only re.
qulres sound legal reflection, but it also requires
the observance of a due regard for the public
interest. Shall the whole public be made to
suffer, and (utter ruin visited upon hundreds
and thousands, to crafty the capriciousness of
a few individuals is question which mus.
deserving Of the most equitable consideration.
1t is probable that, the event of their decision
being called for, it will, if not favorable to the
codes having gone into operation on the first
day of July last, it is not improbable, we say,
that in their discretion it may be withheld until
the next sitting of the Legislature, when time
will be allowed that body for declaring by spe-
cial enactment, that it was the intention of the
General Assembly that the code should 60 into
operation at the time mentioned in Sec. 5, page
47s. to wit the first day of July. The adop-
sion Of course of this kind, We deem to be.
within the discretion Of the Court and in view
'f the many and weighty considerations in It's
favor, is, no doubt, the one which will finally
meet their appreciation. We, therefore, see no
cause for the alarm entertained By many on
this subject.

IRELANp-FRACAs BETWEEN MILITARY
PoLIcE.-An afFray likely to be attended with
very unpleasant consequences took place al
Banagher on Friday evening last, with some
policemen, and detachment of the 18th regi
ment cuartered there. 1t appears that tw,
policemen were in a shoemaker's shop, when
some drunken soldiers entered, who quarrelled
with the police and struck them. The soldiers
were put out of the house, whan they attacked
other police who were on market duty. Both
parties boxed each other well. While so en-
gagged, person named Molloy, NEST improper
ly went to the military barracks, and falsely re-
ported that the police had stabbed soldier
On hearing which the soldiers became enraged,
rushed out of barracks with drawn bayonets in
their hands, ard ran through the streets to the
terror of the inhabitants, shouting for ab-y
Peelers.' The entire company, including the
guard, with three or four exceptions, left their
barracks. On seeing this overwhelming force
approach, the police fled in all directions and
concealed themselves; the soldiers pursued
one policeman into field they knocked him
down, kicked him while down ON the head and
body, and deprived him of his carbne and bay
onet. The officers of the detachment were all
unfortunately absent at the time, having in the
morning gone down the river Shannon few
miles to regatta at Portumna. Saunders Corr
