What will 1t end Ine

AS we stated some time ago. they have goodly number
of supreme governments in Mexico Occasionally they
come in bunch, two three at tme and then again
they come sngy but in such rapid succession that it is
hard to tell which is which There can hardly be said
to be any stable system of government at ALL We doubt
if Mexico has witnessed the phenomenon Of pres
dent consttutonay elected peaceaby inaugurated and
legally and uninterrupedy fulfilling the duties Of his
Office during the whole ofthe prescribed term for which he
had been chosen.
There are now some three four supreme govern
ments in Mexico but that Of Zuoaga having possession
of the seat of government, would appear to have been
most generally recognised by the foreign ministers that
of the United States included.
The forced loan called for by the zuoaga government
several weeks SINCE was resisted so far as foreign resi-
dents were concerned by the representatives of several
nations, the United States among the number. Mr..
Forsythe the American Minister to Mexico entered his
protest against it. 1t had been supposed that this claim
On the part of the pro ten Mexican government would
have been abandoned but instead of that it appears to
have been pressed even at the risk of rupture with
Great Britain and the United States. Those foreign
residents who have refused to submit to the demand for
compulsory loan have been ordered to leave the coun
try only three days being allowed them to get ready and
arrange their business Mr.. FOrsythc, the American
Minister has demanded and received his passports and
by this time, we suppose, the American embassy at
Mexico is closed and diplomatic relations suspended.
Can this state of things continue? Can Mexico main
tain any nationality with many contending govern
ments and asprants to government? Can she hope to
be tolerated by neighbours towards whom she is unable
or unwilling to act with the comfy usual among civil
lied nations? Will the United States much longer
tolerate the expressions and spoations to which Amer
cans and their property liable at the hands of every
little head of pronunciamento in that most pronouncng
of countries?
1t seems impossible for things to go on much longer
as they are going.

A y. scene - In a Mayors oaaee.

Gerard Stith, the newly-elected Mayor of the city
of New Orleans was inaugurated on the 2lst Mr..
tith was elected by minority of the votes of that city,
but be ras elected and IS the Mayor Among the lead
ing appointments is that of Chief of Police This Of
fee, although in the gift of the Mayor is not inferior to
the chief magistracy of the city in its Importance and
the bearing has upon the peace of the city and the
well being of the citizens. Much interest was felt in
this appointment and the Delta says that the people
were gratifed when the name of Thomas E. Adams, a
well known and popular gentleman, announced
But now humiliating revelation made. On the
evening of Mr.. Stiths Inauguration, Mr. Lucien Ad-
ans Recorder of the Fourth District of those who
had worked, perhaps effectively than scrupulousy
for Stiths election presented himself at the Mayors Of
fee and read the following letter to the crowd:
New ORLEANS, June I'd, 1858.
will take pleasure if elected in appointing Lucien
Adams Esq, Chief of the Police to continue during
my entire term and to this pledge my word of honor.
(Signed) GERARD STITH.
Witness-Ernest Toedano, VIM. Harrison, Thomas
Askewr Benz. S. Harrison.
1t seems that it was in virtue of this pledge to Lucien
Adams that Benj S. Harrison withdrew from the
vass as an independent candidate for Mayor and that
thus Stith was elected We make extract from the
remarks of the Delta. Such American" triumphs
must be humiliating to all good citizens:
"Those who have personal interest in this matter
can only view it with and regret 1t affords
melancholy commentary upon the dark and ubterranean
processes the unustfable and desperate exped
ents which resorted to in our municipal elections
The heart grows SICK and hope almost expires, in con-
templatng the moral ugliness which is unvailed Here
was new Mayor, on his Inauguration day, confronted
by person to whom he had sufficient ambition to give
written promise of appointment before his election
which he had not the hardidood to bestow And here
was disappointed expectant of Office proclaming that
he was interested party to bargain for division Of
friends services in the election of the Chief Magistrate
of this city, for selfish and personal consideration
procaimng that with such views and not for party not
for political principle not for any policy relating to the
general welfare of the CITY, they were willing to stir up the
worst elements and excite the worst passons-to the
city deluged in civil war, havoc and bloodshed"
