THE TROUBLE IL NORTHERN MEXICo.-Vi-

published official communications, (which he
has addressed TO the central government, de-
mandng the removal Of Comonfort as Presi-
dent substitute, for an alleged violation of
the plan Of Ayu la. lie offers to sustain
President Alverez, but not Comonfort. \
party of Nidaurris friends in the State Of Ia
mauipas lately broke out in revolution, under
the lead Of Don Martin Zayas, Colonel Of
the National Guards. They sustained Nid-
uarri's programme, and refused to recognize
Cara ~ Governor OF the State. Garza,
however, had returned to Rampico from the
capital, and was concentrating forces to de-
molish this iRsurrection. Troops were also
gathering at Camargo and Mier. to prevent
Viduarr from sezng the river towns. The
worst enemy the rebel chief has to contend
against is letter in his favor published in
the New Orleans papers, promising him the
aid of two thousand Texan flibusters, to
carve out the republic Of the Sierra MGdre,
and secure the return Of runaway slaves
This letter has been widely copied in the
Mexican journals, and is killing Niduarri's
cause. In fact, he has been obliged to pre-.
tend not to want this Texan aid.

THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

The result Of the election in this county
will, no doubt, surprise al! who are not ac-
quainted with the party machinery, and the
means by which the most astonishing feats
are sometimes accomplished. 1t is an easy
matter to account for Q full party vote by
the use OF extraordinary exertions, but it is
difficult to imagine how political opponents
can be suddenly brought into the embrace Of
those whom they heartily detest, without the
aid Of some secret spring, some powerful
lever or invisible agent We are aware that
the State elections were looked upon as most
important, as forerunners OF the approaching
Presidential contest, and that many Demo
Gratis were induced 10 support mongrel
ticket, called Democratic, that could not,
under other circumstances, have received
from them any encouragement. Money was
made to flow most freely, and promises Of
Office were abundant, although the same
Offices had been promised thrice.over before.
Single votes were bought up at the rate OF
81 TO S. Il head. Opponents were bought
of as they appeared, Or were slenced by
threats and promises.
so far as we were concerned, personally, we
have nothing to regret. The Office for which
were candidate was one Of responsibility
ard trouble when properly attended to, while
the compensation could be no inducement to
o man who had any other business engage.
ments.
! Against such odds, il was, Of course, diff
cult to contend, especially as We had scarcely
ten days to canvass the county against AT
organised band Of Office hunters and Office
holders, bound together by the ties of public
plunder aud future expectations. 1t was
perhaps, presumptuous, on our part, to al
tempt to break down such an organisation a
tins time, backed, as they were, with foreign
aid to any amount that might be deemeC
necessary for their purposes--who stopped fo
nothing that money could remove or decep

A WARNING TO THE OgGAN-G GRINpEEs.--
The Burgomaster Of Breslau. in order to put
an end to the nuisance Of so many hand
organs playing in the streets, many Of them
sending forth the most discordaut sounds, has
ordered that none shall be allowed to play
except between the hours of 10 and II
o'clock at night, aud that the owners of the
instruments shall, under pain Of q fine, have
them tuned at least once month by an
organ-maker OF the city. The police agents
have received special orders to watch over
the proper execution Of the matter, which
was to come into operation on the lst ol
October. From the strange hours mentioned
above, it is evident that the Burgomaster
desires to put an end to the infiction alto
