FOREIGNERS IN MEXICO
FROM THE FORCED LOAN.

FROM THE FORCED LOAN.
The following impor.au; paper, pno!Sied IN the
New York Times pu;s an end 10 'he dispute win
regard to the last grievance attempted oy the MeNi
Gan Government against foreign residents.
~ Mi,,srRy Of WAN ASD MARINE, SECTION 4
MEXICO, June ii. 1858.
Your ExckLLESCY: His Excellency, the Minister
of Rsl.tions. under date OF Sth inst, writes me a.
sS1R: Please instruct his EScelency, the Governor,
that owing TO the political aud military authorities in
some departments having, under circumstances which
dema6dsd extraordinary means, had recourse TO the
arbitrary measure OF imposing forced loans upon for.
eieners. such has givsn rise to claims on the part OF
foreign Ministers representing nations with whom
we are on friendly terms, and as this Government
wishes TO avoid all motives of complaint which might
perchance endanger the good understanding now ex'
listing between this Republic and the aforesaid ma
tons. his Excelency, the President, ad interim, has
been pleased To decree that you forward circulars 10
the several Governors of The Departments, request
ing them TO avoid measures Of that nature, as foreign
ers residing in the Republic are Exempt from con
tributiDg 10 forced loans, by virtue OF the solemn
declaration made by The Supreme Government IN tho
month of February. 1889, 10 the effect that IN future
they would not impose any such loans.
This document | transmit 10 you by order OF his
Excellency. the President, with the request that you
will serve the requisite notice upon all Governors OF
the Departments and military chiefs which you may
deem proper. God and liberty. PARA.
To his Excellency, the Captain General of Guam
aiuato.
This will prove a sad discontinue TO the Louis
vile Journal" and other newspapers OF the opposi-
ton, which have wasted so much legal acumen and
displayed 30 much Ignorance, both of law and fact.
in maintaining that a forced loan is by no means diff
ferent from legitimate and ordinary taxation. Ac
oording to these journals, our own Minister, Mr..
Forsyth, was especially responsible for having pro-
tested against the arbitrary exaction Of the Mexican
States. II is but fair that they should now extend to
him due oredi, for the success OF his interference.
This system Of forced loans is. We believe. frequent
~ employed in Mexico. No enlightened jurist can
describe it otherwise than as a most tyrannical impo
sition. II the Mexican people could find no other
pretext for frequent revolutions, this alone would fur
nish lust cause for insurrection. We must. of course,
leave Mexican citizens to take care of themselves :;
but an American diplonatist who should tamely per.
NIT the pockets of his countrymen TO be picked by n
foreign government, would neglect the very business
for which he is paid. In no eventcould MIR. Forsyth's
protest become the subject of reprehension; and as 1t
now appears even the Mexican government is estopp'
cd from a rejoinder, by a guaranty of its own, of nine.
teen years standing.

received the following funny letter from one oil the
subscribers to the Atlantic Monthly in Louisiana:
--, June "a, 1853.
Messrs. PHILLIPS, THOMPSON g. Coz:
G.ntlenen: La an article heded What ara we GO
ing to make,' in the last No. OF your Magazine, the
writer thinks that the Millennium for n'ggers ia to oe
brought about by steam, on the ground that a bushil
of coal fed to a steam eugin will produce more pow
or than q bushil of lDiin Germ fed 10 a Niger, ana that
the great Improvement that Is TO rake place III lheee
eugins in So or 100 years, will enable us TO navigate
our corn felds, aud pillow az much cotton, win one
critter of this sort, in the same length OF time, and al
lsss expsnce, than with III niggers; consequently we
will free the niggers as Il uusence, and take the eugln
instead. Now Jest grant what he says about plowlug
by steam should turn out true-and cotton could De
crowd i'm this wsy-l gest want to ask him
one Question-When il come TO PicflH out'
where ia his stsem engin then' 1t takes mn
gers to du this sort OF work, and no steem englnn
will sver be made to strike a lick like them. IL
we ever du plow BY steem, which I wont deny mought
be done, we'll turn our niggers into Pickers-make
more cotton and sell it at u less price. De Is what
might be called a speculative genius, like a teller VINO
lives no, tar from here; be thought he'd make an
Improvement in pickin, and then monkey would be
the very article. One monkey would pick as mnch
as a niger, and one nigger could Oversee ~ mon
KEYS. The monkeys was got and the trial mald-the
opIy mistake about il was, instead OF one niger man
aging 10 monkeys, il took 10 niggers to manage one
monkey; so he has Civ up experimenting and STICKS
to the old way of gatherin his crop. Some one says
that every man is crazy on come subject. Your man
il crazy on steem. but its not exactly the r'ght sort To
elevate tie IDEAS. Tell him 10 fire up and try agln.-
will excuse for saying that | think some of your
articles is rather tou hifalutin on abohshen subjects.
Respectfully, A SUBSCRIBER
