have written You accounts Of the legal proceedings
adopted by Messrs. Welsh Allen, not only TO secure
N en- selyes but also 70 pr,'ect the Company AMI
did think these proceedings woad serve their purpose;
but was Mistaken as anybody Is likely to De Who
trusts to the regularity Of say proceedings in Mexico,
whether political or judicial.
When Mr. Aren, on behslf Of Welsh 4 Allen, en-
bsrgoea The property of the Company, he procured h's
process from the Judge CT Frs' lotauce for his dis
tct. The proceedings were regular IN every respect.
and were intended TO cover al the property ON the
failure between v. nosa and Min stitlap The order at
the same time appointed A. c. Alien receiver, and di
scea that he should keep the goods and audit the ac
counts Of crediors The Judge of First lostsnce well
knew thar the properly on the istnmus would cover
if sold at public sale; snd he gave this comprehensive
order that the affair might be terminated with as hte
derangenett the Company a. possible, but With &c
curdy that the property should be Forthcoming 70
satlsfy the lust claims OF creditors.
The wit If seizure sent up the river to Mr..
Sdel as Mr. Aliens attorney, % have it enforced IN
the districts If Jucbar and Iehuantepec. against the
property OF the Company outside OF this district The
design was TO keep the property together under the
Company's agents, that the line might continue in
working order, and that useless expenses right be
incurred by the appointment of receivers a. other
p,i ts.
How Mr. Side|l performed his part of the work am
not posted but koew that he has written long
monstrapce 10 the Minister in Vera Cruz in which he
sets forth that the Judge OF lehuantepec mas Acted
very badly about the mater tnen first in refusing to
ACCEPT the embargo of MIR. Aen and secondly, in
grspiipg other embargoes and sezing property for
mall debts which would pay hundred such demands.
In Juchtsn particularly Is this the case, when the
Judge for small claim Of 81 500 ha, seized property
valued at go eco. and which be claims to bold until
the shove sum is paid This last seizure completely
deprives the company Of its coaches and animals anf
therefore breaks up the trdRsa! The mails for Tho
10th ins we're actually sent forward at private az

have given you in previous letters some OF the
cases OF judicial ignorance under Mexican rule but
tnpk the ruling Of the Judge Of Tenauntepec heads
ANYTHING have yet sent you. The suit against the
company was for 81 800, to which was added con-
te ted claim for charges of 800 mors For this
ann all The property Of the company in the District of
Tebauttepec was seized and the Judge appointed the
brother Of bis mistress receiver, without exactng Sc
curty The company offered as security 70 place tue
amount of the claim and the extra charges I'D tne hanu
of respoI sbls merchant and TO leave in charge OF
the receiy sufficient to pay all the claim and Costs
the court wonli release enough OF the stock ana rnn-
nng gear TO carry on The business OF the transit Inc
offer WAS refused ami only by compromising the
one with the plaintiff that the properly could De drag
Q. from the hands of the court and not tnen until the
stock Wa run down by neglect aud some OF the AMI
mals had been stolen!
Immedi .tey, however after the embargo rsised,
another was laid for a still less sum, and the same
property was again put under restraint This com
petey psrayzed the Company, for without its stock
tion service. Every method was adopted to arrsoga
the difficulty, but the agent being without funds In
Mexican community, where 1t Is impossible to borrow
on mortgage security, bad to leave the property IN
this condition.
The American Consul at this place has written
strong letter the Judge OF Juchan ON the subject OF
this embargo, and aso remonstranoe TO The American
Minister the subject. he Is justly incensed, not
thar American properly should be treated in this reg-
unr manner but because his appointment as Receiver,
which was regularly made here has been 30 summsriy
ard arantaby dismissed by the Judge OF Juchtao.
The Judges of both pacee obraned their appointments
from the JuaIez Government AMI the Is as legit-
mate as the other. Under the circumstances the em-
barge of Welsh ALI, is only good in the district OF
Mhititlap. - .

Most of the employees oftoe Tehuantepec Company
have come down from the line Of the Transit, and
there are now but few Americans on the Isthmus
compared with what there should be- There seems
TO be an absolute stagnation OF all business AZ the
place, consequent, first on the derangement OF tne
Tehuantepec Company, and, secondly, on the fact
that this is the Of the year when there " bat

dressing their logs preparatory to rafting them down.
and il will be n. ast month before any considerable
ouaptity will come down. There seems 10 be more
