Ia L. S. Senate, on Tuesday, Mr.. HousToN
called up for cons Iteration the resolution
submitted By him on the 10th of February
last, in relation to the establishment OF
protectorate on the part Of the United States
over the States of Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa
RIGA, Guatemala, Honduras, and San Sal.
vadOr.
Mr. Houston addressed the Senate at some
considerable length, and said be meant To
amend his resolution so as to c0nhne II 10
Mexico proper. as that would be more respect
ful 10 Great Britain, with whom we we're at
present negotiating in relation to honduras.
Mr.. H., in the course Of his remarks, re-
viewed the prcsen condition Of Mexico, and
pointed to the still greater danger OF her being
precipitated into absolute anarchy and Wild
confusion. He contended that the great
leading duty OF our Government Was to in
sure safe neighborhood from Mexico, policy
alike demanded by humanity and Interest.
lie reiterated the Monroe doctrine, as that to
be cherished and defended by our people,
and that we should never permit Mexico
to be resuhjugated by Spain or placed under
the Dominion Of any foreign Power, aud
hence that we ought to assume protecting
power over her. Mr.. Ii. spoke for upwards
of an hour, aud was listened TO with much
attention.
Mr.. Houston proposed to amend the orig
nal resolution 10y striking out all after the
word Whereas" and inserting:
1.-The events connected with the numerous
a NE tka 10 Of IN atn lI-h
upon q reliable basis an orderly system OF
self-gUvernment, have invariably resulted in
complete failure; and whereas the condition
OF Mexico is such as to excite alarming ap-
prehensions that she may precipitate herself
into a wild condition Of anarchy, and the
more so AS she has dem0nstrat d from time 10
time her utter inability to suppress Intestine
connections, and to conquer the hordes VI
bandits by which she is Infested; and where
as the United States OF America, on account
Of the continental policy, which they will
cherish and desire to enforce, can never per-
init Mexico to be resubjugated by Spain, or
placed under the dominion OF any foreign
Power; and whereas one of the most impOr-
taut duties, devolving upon civilized Govern
ments is to exact from adjoining nations the
obserVances of good neighborh0od, thus
shielding themselves against impendlog or
even remote injury to their border security:
Therefore,
"ReSOlred, That select committee Of sew
en- be raised to inquire and report to the Sen
ate whether or not it is expod.ent for the
Government OF the United States Of America
to declare aud maintain protectorate over
the sO-calIed Republic Of Mexico, il such torn
and to such extent rs shall be necessary to
secure to this nion good neighborhood, aud
to the people OF said country the benefits
Of orderly and well regulated republican
Government"
Mr.. SESARD moved that the resolution be,
laid on the table and printed; which vas
agreed To.

AwOp0S of Wellington, we recollect, even
as We write, an snecdote which we do not
think has yet appeared 10 print. While the
old Duke lived, his eldest son bore the cour-
tasy title Of Marquis of DJuro, and had the
civil reputation, unti! metrimony sobered him
down into a respectable character, of being
rather "a fest man." His pecuniary allow
ance Was large, but, in those days, be found
it inadequate to bis expenditures, and ran
considerably into the abysm of-Debt. While
residing at Walmer Castle, Of which bis "a
Their was warden, this hopeful heir to Ducal
rank aud property, contrlved to get pretty
deeply into the books of shoemaker at the
neghboriug town OF Dover. The brakeman,
finding his repeated requests for payment
wholly unheeded--ln fact that his noble credi.
tor gave him uremihtng attention-wrote to
the Duke himself, as follows, on the subject:
" Mr.. Toplady, shoemaker at Dover, presents
his duty to the Duke Of Wellington, encloses
bill for E33. l5.4, long owing to him by the
Marquis OF DOuro, and begs that the Duke
will see him paid" By return Of post, Mr..
Goplady received an autograph reply from
Aspley House, The Dlke's London resi-
dence,) Of which we are able to suhjoin an
exact copy, taken from the original, which,
carefully framed and glazed, now hangs in
the back parlor of the recipient, at Dover.
1t ran thus: Marshal, the Duke of
Wellington has received letter from Mr..
Top!ady, shoemaker at Dover, respecting the
SUN Of 1913. l5-. II, which he says is due to
him 10y the Marquis Of Douro. The Duke
does not pay the debts of the Marquis of
Douro, nor collect those OF Mr.. TopIady, shoe
maker at Dover" The money was paid,
however, soon after. But, like st. Pierre, in

During short trip to the country last week,
we had an opportunity of seeing many fields,
all of which looked unusually luxurisut and
promising. From what We heard, also, we
incline to the belief that the yield will be a
remarkably heavy one, should no serious dis
aster occur, between now and harvest. But
harvest is long time off yet, and there is
no telling what may happen to change the
present prospect. As to the probable price
for wheat, it is somewhat too early to begin to
speculate. At all events, our farming friends
will have to wait for the speaking out Of

however, adds the Herald, that Mr.. Buchan-
an is in no particular hurry upon this matter,
and perhaps be would do we'll to wait the
upshot of General Concha's project of de
claring and establishing the independence OF
Cuba. That plan, if carried out, would

it panders to the design of the Emperor on

as if i. had teen written under an expecta-
ton that it might save bis life, and almost as
if some intimation of that kind bad been

The Washington correspondent of the
New Y ,rk Evening Post, speaking Of the
annual report on commerce and navigation,
sUys:
1.-The report also shows how much money
has been sent abroad for luxures, sub
iect which excited SO much discussion a
month or two since. 1t appcare that for
silk in its various fabrics, the ladies spent
$28, 500 ,63l; for embroderes "a 443 575;
for trimmings and laces $l,l29,554; for
shaw!s So 246 35l; for bonnets and hats
S2,245 ,928. While the men have wasted
their substance in brandics and liquors
So 673 1876; in wines $a,38l 1852; and in
cigars and tobacco $5,579,93l. Those who
are interested can calculate how much the
balance is against the ladies'
