THE LAST MuRDER MASFEsro.--The procla-
nation Of the friends OF Orsini and Pierri,
which we publish elsewhere, deserves place
among the curiosities of literature, or at least
the post of honor In the editorial columns of the
Tribune. by curious course Of argument the
philosophers who "admire" Orsini would make
us believe that the killing of certain innocent
persons in the Rue Lepelletier was Cbristian
and philanthropic act, and that those who exc
crate assassination art the enemies Of human
liberty. The "admirers" further proceed to
launch heavy battery Of abuse at the French
Emperor; but as they, like prudent philosophers,
stand afar of, no damage will result to either
party.
AS to the demonstration ITSELF ii will be one
Of those curious exhibitions which often occur
here, but which could not take place in any
other civilized city under the sun. We have
in fact a barbarian element in which
mock philosophy and rufianism meet
and join hands. Equally "philanthropic" with
the Oreini demonstration we're the grand pro-
-cessions in honor of those apostles Of human
freedom, Bill Poole and Paudeen. They were
the advocates Of the doctrine Of ''individual
sovereignty" to its fullest extent. Their friends
should unite in this procession to honor the
men who threw the bombs in the Rue Lepel-
letter. The philosophers Of the school Of the
2riJ,f,t, the Fouricrites, the disciples Of st.
Simon, the Free Love clubs, the spiritualsts, and
indeed all the people who IRE "philanthrepic"
or crazy upon any one point should also join
in the turnout. Then we shall have splendid
display
l. The friends of the lanented Poole and
Paudeeu.
2. The rcd republicans of all nations, with
all their manifestoes.
5. The Tribune philosophers free lovers, spi-
rituolists, Crabamites, &C.. &c.
A. Lucy Stone and oil the petticoat philan-
thropists, with extra crinoline.
s. Philantbropists generally, with the pro-
priCtors of the gift swindles and humbug
| benevolent societies
| These harmonious elements, tastefully ar
! ranged and combined with an artistic hand,
would make very pretty parade. People re-
| siding on the route of the procession would do
well to remember that the maxim Of Proudhon,
property is theft" is the first law of rcd rcpub-
| licanism, and therefore button up their pockets
and lock up their spoons.

zation than the present can be found Thus
on 81 sides VIC find the government of
Zu,oags- beset with difficulties which II will
be impossible tor 1t 10 surmouut without the
command Of large sums to corrupt and buy up
its opponents.
Ia such state OF things We see 70 other al
ternatiyp left the new government than the ia,
u4;liar resource of Mexican adminisuatio
ea.e of territory 10 the United States SO little
,,oubi prevails as TO its intentions in this re-
sp1ct that already the States of Sonora and
CHIHUAHUA have taken the alarm and published
stgong protests against their being thus dis
posed Of There il no doubt, however, that if
viiaurri we're to carry out his project of the
Sierra Madrc confederation he would easily be
induced 70 purchase the moral support and
counttnance Of our government by the cession
OF Sonora.
From what we have stated, as we'll as from
the general tenor Of the letters that we publish,
il viii BE- seen how important it is that our int
rests should be adequately represented in
Mexico in the present critical state of af-
fairs II is our conviction that if special
onyoy. thoroughly conycrsant with the
Spanish language and race, and with the
history Of parties in that country, were sent
down just now, the ccssion Of Sonora, and pos
sibly Of chihuahua, and the establishment of a
virtual protectorate over the republic, might
be obtained. 1t is certain that with Minister
like Mr.: Forsyth, who is stranger alike to the
language and institutions Of the country, aud
whose repeated failures to obtain the rati6ca-
ton Of his treaties by onr government has
damaged him irretrieyably in the eyes Of the
Mexican people, we shall Fever advance step
nearer the fulflmont of the policy which events
seem to mark out. We therefore desire to i'm.
press upon the administration the expediency Of
their revising their diplomatic arrangements
in regard 70 Mexico. and Of despstching
there some agent on whose intelligence, ca
pacity and local experience full reliance may
be placed.

The PACIFIC RAILROAD AND ryG TELgCElrH
Across THE PLNSs--Thc two most practical.
if not the most important questions which have
been before the present session Of Congress -
the Pacific Railroad and tue telegraph across
tie Plains-have been adjourned over to De-
cember next, while the whole time Of that body
has been frittered away upon the Kansas nui-
sance. This is a sair Illustration of the manner
in which affairs are managed by our
legislators.
AS far as the Pacific Railroad is concerned no
one doubts its usefulness; but it may be said
that the prctcxt upon which ii has been laid
over-nan,ely, the difficulty OF selecting route
without creating sectional animosity-has ssme
truth in it. But this is q difficulty which will
the Southern route is adopted. bitter feelings
will be generated in the defeated section-so
that the question may as well be brought to an
issue now as at future time; but in regard
to the Geographic connection between the At
lantic and Pacific shores, there seems TO be no
obstacle in the way. II is matter Of the ut
most importance, and the present time seems
peculiarly favorable for It's accomplishment.
The line could bc laid down on the route Of the
Utah army, ard, in fact, might form almost q
joint expedition.
At the outbreak Of the war in India IL was
proposed TO establish telcgraphio limo between
that country and England but owing to the re
fusa! OF the government TO lend such aid as was
deemed necessary, the undertaking was aban-
doned and may not be resumed for years; for IL in
the exigency ofthe times the government refused
assistance, it il not likely that they will offer II

raise IS, 5000 10y loan for the completion Of
the canals was defeated in the Senate on Satur-
day. 1t is possible that it may be brought up
again, as the Legislature does not adjourn till
tomorrow afternoon at five O'Clock.
If there arc no particularly Objectionable
clauses in the hill we Zee no reason why 1t
should not pass. The canals surely ought TO be
completed, and there is no honest aud practical
way Of raising the money except by loan. The
nlibustering which has gone on In the Assembly
abou, taxing railways, banks, and savings banks
does not mean any thing; the Legislature might
az well pass an act imposing the cost Of
completing the canals on William D. Aston and
Cornelius Vanderbilt; because they happen to be
rich men, az attempt 10 raise the money re-
quircd by special taxes on special interests
