IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO Tile Wcricw
CounSfitution 0rcrtirown-C0m ontOH de-
clarM lAbsJlptc Dictnior Sc.-Thc steamer
Tennessee arrived at New Orleans on the
25th ult., with Vera C,uz and other dates
to the 2lst. The news is very import ant.
The constitution Of the country had been
2Yehheaft jt,f66kdFnf 1 up and dispersed, and
Cononfort declared absolute dictator, with
power TO call an extraordinary Congress.
The whole capital was in arms, and other
municipalities, including Vera Cruz, had
given in their prompt adhesion TO the new
order of things
The revolution in the city of Mexico took
Place on the 18th ulL. The movement was
sudden bold and daring one, and crowned
with the most complete success. 1t was
planned by Comonfort and then entrusted
to Gen Paez, who carried it triumphantIy
into execution without any active resistance
on the part of the people. Indeed, the latter
evinced their joy IN various ways, and un-
hcsltatingly hailed Comonfort us their SUI
prone ruler
There were but few arrests made, though
among the few were several men of distinc-
ton.
a number of the ministry sent in their re-
sisnations the same day.
AT the latest accounts everything was
doing well.
Later alviccs from Yucatan are also fur
nshcd. The country continued distracted by
evil war.
Ssal, which at the previous dates was in
possession Of the Campcachy troops and in a
state of blockade, had hecn captured by the
Reactiunists but it was again rctakcn by
the fDimcr and a strong force of good troops
were stationed at that point to defend 1t from
further assaults.

b Tho Maryland Legislature meets
on W odnesday next. The session will
be an important one, as many subjects
of interest will be before it, among them
the propricty of calling Convention tc
change the present extremely faulty
Constitution of the State. Public opn-
ion has not sufficiently indicated yet
eithrr the man for President of the Sen
ate or Speaker Of the House, to warrant
any speculation on the subject.
Gov. Hicks will be inaugurated or

GJ@THE RETURN of the tillibustcr, Walker,
has spread CONSERVATION in the camp of the
iillibuScrs at Washington. The Star says
the iilibustor council in that city is compos-
ed of gentleman of character and deserved
position in society, against whom naught can
be alleged except that their ideas Of right and
wrong, in dealing with weak ncghboring
nations, are based upon the iilibuster's code
ofmorals and p,opricty. The same paper,
speaking Of these men, adds:
They are the real authors of the published
innucndoes against the integrity of the Pres
idcnt's course upon iillihustering so signally
rcfu;cd in the annual message, and quite as
emphatically set at rest by the prompt and
efficient action of Commodore Paulding in
rccuins the property-steamship s-o of Ameri-
can citizens which Walker had seized in
Nicaragua, and sending him to the United
States to answer for his last violation Of the
law Of this land.
An effort is, doubtless, to be made at once
from this point to create the impression that
the South, in and out of Congress. is boiling
over with Indignation because Commodore
Pauldng has SO signally indicated the integ
lity Of the porpose of this government in i
dealings with weak and unoflending neglrt
ing nations, which has no foundation il

THE School CONVENTIONAL
last. the day the School Convention was to
rc-assc!nllc, was very unlavorAhle day and
but few persons attended. The silcl cton Of a
System, or Bill, was reported by james
McCauley, ESD, which WAS taken up dis
cusscd and amended, and finally the meeting
adjourned without any definite action, TO meet
on Wcdnc sday, the 9Th day Of January, inst.
The views Of the few present, favored the
dividing the several districts into School Dis
trcts, and the diyistO OF the School Fund
on hand among those sub-districts for the pur-
pose Of building School houses the deficit
for that purpose to be suppl led by taxation.
Then the laying ola tax on the property Of
the county, sufficient, in addition to the an
nual amount received from the State. to pay
to each School District the sum of $500 for
the support of a teacher, The Convention
was also in favor Of each scholar paying
SLIGO quarterly as an admission fee, except
in cases excused by the trustees the schools,
in consideration thereof, to be found in books,
stationary and fuel, free. These were the
general views as expressed at the meeting.
1t is hoped there will be- large attendance
on Wednesday next.

Fr;Khlrui Accident.

A horrible accident occurred on Saturday
week at New Orleans, fortunately attended
with but the loss of ooe life. Two painters
named James Taylor and Dick Reed, were eu-
gagged painting tho cornice of the upper win.
duws on the Camp street side Of Odd Fellows
Hall. They were on kind Of platform sus-
pended by ropes from and secured above 10
such manner that they could raise or lower
themselves at will. The platform was fastened
to ropes by means Of hooks that were In tuFa
corded or "mouscd" 80 as to prevent them
becoming unlocked. The fatal casualty hap
pened through the breaking, in some way
not explained, of this housing which allowed
the hook to get out Of the ring 1t clasped.
and consequently that side Of the platform
was proof pi;ated downwards. Nsylor had
timo but to utter u single cry ere he was dSsh-
ed to death on the pavement beneath, dis
lance Of some seventy or eighty feet. The
escape Of his oomrade from the same dread
full death was almost miraculous. just a.
the platform sank from under him he hap
pened to be reaching for paint pot that lay
on the cornice, and to do 90 be had to grasp
the rope with his right hand and had his left
Just passing over the corner Of the mould

hold on by as be felt the seat 60 d1wn.--
Suspended Mt such height, with the scenc
he had Observed below, was indeed an aTtul
situation, bu, he was a bic to come down from
his perilous place by the rope, which was

HniIer EInIoSinn.

A terrible explosion of the boilers OF the

above Minneapolis, took place at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning. The mill was erected
and put 10 operation last spring, tie saw:
being propelled by o powerful engine with
three boilers. At the time of the catastro

and it ia miracle that many were not killed
on the spot The noise Of tho explosion was
terrific, and the wreck was total and moss
complete.
Hardly one timber was left upon another,
ard oil the men standing nearest, were crush
ed in the RUNS. The mill was dem olished.
The engineer Mr. j. Wolf, had bis leg bro,
ken at the thigh, and WAS otherwise severely
