The Breaking Up Of Mexico-what L. q
Come After!


Mexico, rs federated republic, has ceased
to exist Our own legation there has been
closed and we now learn from our Washington
correspondence that the British Minister has
also been directed to cease his relations with
the government of President Zuloaga
1t is very doubtful If either of the two ma
tiors will again be represented near federal
government in Mexico. The republic, as 1t
existed in the past, has broken up-never again
TO he united. II has followed the fate of The
old Central American republic and that of
Colombia; and like them, its component parts
have separated from each other. The cohesive
power Of public plumber has been exhausted by
the encouragement and ruin of their revenues
Should any one be disposed TO doubt this fact,
be peed only look to what has been passing for
several years, and is to-day occurring in THAI
republic
Two years ago Governor Vidaurri annexed
the State Of Coahuila to his own of Nueva Leon,
against the express decree Of the federal Con
press. Alvarez, the Governor of Guerrero, has
not for years recognized any federal govern
ment except upon the payment of monthly
stipend. Within q few months past the parties
contend'pg for power in Yucatan agreed, after
a failure TO settle the question by conquest to
divide the State, and it has now two separate
State governments A few weeks since Sonora
publicly proclaimed that she sccedes from the
Mexican Union until q government IL establish
ed in II of which she approves Governor Cara
Of Tsmaulipas, unable TO subdue the insurrec.
tiopsry forces at Tampico, has installed gov
eminent and customs tariff of his own at Msta-
moros; ard following the example of vidaurri
in Monterey, zsmora in Vera Cruz, Mendez in
Yucstsn, Alvarez In Acapulco, Ysnez in Mazst-
Ian, and Pesqueira in Guaymas selzes upon the
federal revenues, and converts them To the sup
port Of bis own pretensions
This IL true picture Of the present condi-
ton Of the Mexican republic, and ii Is only an
exaggerated form Of the state of affairs from
the time Of the withdrawal OF the Ameri-
can army. Since that event no government has
existed In Mexico which has possessed the entire
adhesion Of the several States. The cessation of
relations with the two great government Of the
world will no doubt be followed gradually by
"a
as the probability Of the establishment OF a
general government increases, the resumption
Of those relations will he still further delayed.
What causes may arise to control the course Of
the separate divisions of Mexico II is impossible
to foretell.
We already know that party exists in what
are called the Northern States looking TO the
establishment Of separate republic, possibly
through the admission OF an American ele-
ment In Sonora a similar feeling .is growing
up, and In both Of these regions il is stimulated
by the constant increase Of the rsvages of the
IDdiaps The necessity of selfpreservation is
becoming the ruling impulse of the Mexican
mind in those States In Yucatan weakness

explodes Barnum's last enterprise, which had
already received the coup de grac, on this side

Mr.. Lumley that the director of her Majes-
tvs theatre never answered the letters written
by the proprietor OF the mermaid, and that
in no event could the artists which Baronm
announced have crossed the Atlantic this sea-
son. The whole matter, IL seems, was q dodge
of Barnum's to keep bis name before the public,
and he succeeded in humbugging the shrewd
director Of the Academy, impresario Ullman,
and also secured notices, good or bad, from
nearly every journal Of consequence throughout
the country. This ia Barnum's last and most
impudeni hoax. When be brought out Joice
Heth, the mermaid, and the woolly horse, he
had some foundation for bis operations-thati IL,
he had an old negroes, an artificial mermaid,

his hoax out Of whole cloth, with nothing but a

two years ago treaties were made with certain
Indians of Oregon and Washington Territories, in.

it is made up ofprotested Bills of Exchange;
certificates of deposit issues to our Treasurers
by widest Banks and gambling brokers :;
and bonds for wild lands. The securities,

as things are managed here, the official
bonds are of but little more value. | see

of more rigid accountability; of greater
economy, and of increased safeguard.
Instead of looking after the substantial
interests of the State the members of both

themselves "right on the record as the
phrase is-that is, right on the partisan re-
cord. The ayesland noes on every modifica-

Slavery Agitation.

The first movement made in the United
States Senate at this sesson-even before
the Presidents message had been received
was a motion to revive the slavery agitation
by calling up the old and almost forgotten
Amistad case for discussion. 1t originated
with leading supporter of Mr.. Buchanan,
and the Senate bya party vote of "a to 10,
agreed to single out this case from other
more important matters, for debate, for no
other reason, apparently, than because there
is niger in it." The case has been the
subject of negotiation with Spain for 20
years; no one expects now that anything
will be done with it; but it will serve the
purpose of keeping up an agitation, and
perhaps, enable the firc-eaters to dissolve the
Union two or three times, after their fashion
of breaking it up. 1t is remarkable that
this periodical agitation begins the year pre-
ceding Presidential canvas, and is always
commenced by the same men who are con-
tinually denouncing it. and who are always
settling it, and on every new settlement
they are the first to renew the agitation
The trick is teo stale for another repetition.
As it is likely to be the topic Of noisy de-
bate, we copy statement of the leading
| facts in the case:
A Spanish schooner, called the Amistad,
| sailed from Havana ON the 28th of June in
1889, bound to Guanaja, another Cuban
port She was commanded by her owner,
| Don Ramon Ferrer, and, besides a cargo OF
merchandise, had on board ffty-three negro
slaves. Before leaving, her owner obtained
| the usual clearance papers, and complied
with all the requirements of the law. On
! the night of the 30th of the same month,
| the captain, two sailors and negro servant
| of the captain were killed by the slaves.
| In addition to the captain and the two
sailors, there were two other persons on
| board, Don Jose Ruiz and Don Pedro Mon
| tez, the latter of whom owned four of the
slaves, and the other forty-nine. Both Ruiz
and Montez were spared that they might
take the vessel to the coast of Africa, where
the negroes designed landing. They had
however, been wounded and treated with
much cruelty, and probably had their ser
vices not been required, they toe, would
have been sacrificed. Montez, instead o
directing the course of the vessel to Africa
steered her to the coast of the United States
and after several days sailing reached Lonl
: Island Sound. Here the Amistad wa
boarded by the brig-of-war Washington
commanded by Capt Godney, who, having
been made acquainted with the cireum
