FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

We would call the attention of the readers OF
the Era to this monthly publication. 1t is ex-
clusively Anti-Slavery, containing such articles
from the Era as one likes to keep for purposes
of. reference, and also others specially adapted
to circulation among the masses. Its octave
form fits it for being bound, and, at the same
time, it is so cheap that a subscriber at little
cost can secure additional copies for distribu-
ton. As the Presidential campaign is now
opening, it is desirable that the work of dis
seminating facts and arguments on the great
Question which the People are to be called
upon to decide, shall be carried on briskly.
The FIRST volume of the Facts closes with the
number issued this week, and the first number
of the second volume viii be issued the first
week in May ensuing. The terms are
Six copies to one address Sl.0O
Fourteen copies to one address 200
Fifty copies to one address 600
Postage, six cents year, or three cents half
yearly, on each copy, to be paid, in advance, at
the Office of delipery.
We hope orders will be sent in Immediately.

CoNFIsoATIoN OF CHURCH PROPERTY IN Mex
Ico.-The Mexican Government has common.
ced the confscation of the Church property in
that country. The Church establishment con-
sists of the Archbishop, nine bishops, 3,677
parochical clergy, l68 canons and other digni-
taries. The whole ecclesiastical property is
valued by some at four hundred millions OF
dollars, yielding an annual income of almost
twelve millions.
Ecclesiastical property in Mexico has hither-
to been free from taxation, and the manage
ment of all property bequeathed to the church
for pious uses-such, for instance, as raising
chapels and saying masses for the souls of the
donors-has always been in the hands of the
clergy. 1t is more, especially this last species
of church property, estimated by Baron Hum
boldt some fifty years ago to be worth
SAC, 1000, 900, which it is intended at present to
con6scate. The greater part of this vast prop
erty is administered by chaplains who perform
no parochial duties whatever. DIR. Jose Mora,
one of the most intelligent men in Mexico,
thought that Humboldt had moderated the ex-
tent of these donations, which he estimated at
near eighty millions of dollars"
