humiliation it con tains. None whose memory
extends ten or fifteen years back will fail to be
amused by the grand sentiments and fine Ian
guage of the ex-dotator and whether the
pompous affectation of heroic patriotism be
set down as the mere fruit Of Spanish hyper
bole, or whether it be ascribed to the peculiar
effrontery of Santa Annals character, it cannot
but afford ample material for mirth.
1t may be, as Santa Anna gloomiy fore
bodies, that anarchy is the foreordained lot of
Mexico. We are aware from other sources
that the work for which Alvarez took up arms,
is but half performed, and that at the very
last Parhian-like, Santa Anna managed in
flying to launch formidable missile at the
heads Of his opponents 1t was not without
purpose that Carrera and his colleagues pro-
claimed their adhesion to the plan of Ayutla.
1t would perhaps have been wiser for the new
chiefs of the Lation to have omitted, in their
act of adhesion, that menacing sentence with
relation to the army" That the Provisional
government shall take care to watch over it in
the manner demanded from it's noble institu-
tion." Nor was it quite polite, one would
fancy, for De 10 Vega to insist SO strenuously

cations of treachery, it is plain to all who are
familiar with Mexican politics. that the sub
stitution Of Carera for Santa Anna is merely
the last throw Of the bafled gambler-that the
adoption of the plan of Ayutla means nothing

and all will remain to be done over again.
THE COMING THEATRICAL SEAsoN.-We pub
| fish elsewhere the official lists of the COM
panies at two of our principal theatres, which
will open within a week for the regular season.
With the general revival in business affairs
the managers naturally expect that their har-
vest will be quite equal to that of the season
before the last, which was one of unexampled
prosperity. The prospects for the season are
very good and the managers, in no way dis
heartened by the bad business of last winter,
are redoubling their exertions to amuse the
| people. The summer season, both at NiblOs
and the Broadway theatre, was very much
more profitable than usual, which will account

named house to SO late period. All the
theatres are now doing we'll, and that when
New York proper has hardly returned to town.
The fact is that there are great many flush
strangers in town, and they are willing to
spend their money.
When public amusements are we'll patron
Used, it is pretty safe to say that prospects for
good fall trade are exceedingly fattering.
New York owes much other prosperity to we'll
conducted places Of amusement, which are ex-
ceedingly attractive to strangers perhaps
more SO than to regular residents. No fault
can be found with the manner in which our
principal theatres are managed, and they de-
serve liberal support.
SOMETHING FOR THE FERRY CoMpASIEs.-Al-
most every day we are called upon to notice
the reckless disregard Of life on the part of the
managers of our public conveyances. One
murder by the Brooklyn Ferry Company was
alluded to recently, and we publish elsewhere
the law on the subject of boats. A day or two
| since q man fell overheard from one of the
| Hol Oxen ferry boats, and the ''life boat so
| called, which was lowered to rescue, filled and
sheer carelessness on the part of the officers of
the hoat-the seams of the small boat having
been opened by the heat of the sun and never
recaulked. The law can reach such things as
this, and it should be put in operation at once

day another horrible murder brought about by

include the crimes of adultery and murder,
VIII be found in our California news. The
murderer was a man of unblemshed reputa-
ton previous to his conversion to the doctrines
promu gated by the woman Nichols, the man
A. j. Davis, and the philosophers of the New
York Tribune. These two victims-for the man
viii assuredly be hanged, either by the law or
Judge Lynch-are additions to a calendar
already dripping with blood. The respon
sibility will, one day or another, fall upon the
real murderers-Davis, Greeley, Nichols, and
Others of the same party.
WHAT SAYS THE WASHINGTON ORGAN The
Richmond Eaqeirer, the leading organ in vir-
ginia 81 the Cabinet democracy, reads the New
York soft sheIis and their Syracuse platform
out of The Cincinnati Democratic National Con-
vept.on OF next June, so that tho labors of John
Van Buren, TO keep within the fold so far as
Virginia is concerned, go for nothing. But
what says the Washington organ Of Mr.. Pierce
and our man Marcy? Are the New York soft
4 shells the real Simon Pure democracy, or are
4 the hards! IL is absurd to talk abont the de-
mocratic party till this question is settled Do
let Us lear from the Kitchen Cabinet who are
the New York democracy.
