The end ofthe present spasm of dscord in Next
co is evidently near at hand. The downfall OF
ZULoAGA and the accession of ROBES to the CON-
mand of the Capital strengthens JUAREz and the
Liberal cause immensely, and it not be long be-
fore we get news that JUAREz has undisputed con-
troll of the Government. That ROBES has any ex-
pectation of maintaining himself as the successor OF
ZuLoAGA, is not to be admitted for moment: ex-
cept that he is acknowledged to be a gentleman
and man of education and refinement he is much
weaker than ZULoAGA himself ZULoAGA had the
church party with him; but RoBLEs is well known
to be hostile to the church as a temporal power
and so can get no support from the Clergy, while
the Liberals, of course, can have no reason for
abandoning the President of the Constitution to
take him as their leader. Thus RoBLEs has no party
at his back save the army in the city of Mexico and
at few other points; and the moneyed men of the
city who are for anybody who already holds the
power, simply because they want peace and detest
revolutions.
The fact that ROBES has sent Commissioners to
treat with JUAREz is confession that the Consti-
tutlonai party alone has within itself the elements
OF Permanence and success. These Commissioners
PROBABLY Will make the best terms they can command
Tor the surrender of the capital to the Liberals: stip
ulatlng, perhaps for the return of RoBLEs to Wash
lngton as Mexican Minister. We NAV reasonably ex-
pect that another fortnight will solve the entire
problem, and start Minister his way hither to
conc Jude satisfactory treaty with the TN,rEn
STATES, the terms of which shall have already been
substantially agreed upon. While it becomes more
certain every day that the JUAREz Government will
De recognized by the UNITED STATES the probabilities
of the reception of Senior MArA lessen. and sboId
not be surprised if Gen. TRIAs comes on as Neyc,n
Minister, unless RoBLEs succeeds in Stimulating
the continuance of his own mission Gen. TRT.s
IS one OF the best men in Mexico educated able and
honest, and possessing the confidence of all who
know him.
MIR. BARKsDALE, of Mississippi, is an open and ear
nest advocate of the revival of the African slave
trade, and will omit no opportunity to give practi-
mttee on Foreign Relations he proposes bill for
the abrogation of the 10th article of the Treaty of
washington, by which the UNITED STATES stipuIate
to keep up preventive squadron upon the African
coast Tor the suppression of the slave trade There
Is no probability of his being able to get any large
party of sympathisers with his sentiments in either
branch OF Congress. 1t must be confessed, however
That unless some steps taken to make the SQUAD
ron effective, it would be far better to Withdraw
1t altogether. Perhaps if Mr.. BARKsDALE should be
allowed to bring his proposition before the House
substitute could be adopted directing provision
for fleet OF gun boats on the slave coast
|, Inc Committee on Foreign Relations will proba-
Oily allow MIR. BRANCH to report his Cuban acuusi-
ton bill in shape placing ten millions instead of
one, at the disposal of the PRESIDENT with which
to operate for the purchase of the coveted island.
Mr. GRAHAM, the delegate from the proposed
territory OF Cotona, exhibits very fine speci-
mems OF the gold dust taken from the Pixies Peak
dlgglngs OF Kansas An ASSAY of the dust made at
the Philadelphia Mint, gives its value at nearly
twenty dollar per ounce-equal to that of the Aus
traian. MIR. GRAHAM is hopeful that he will vet
get favorable consideration of his proposition for
territorial Government. He states that about
TWO thousand miners are wintering in the noun
tans, and expresses the confident belief that many
additional thousands will join them in the spring.
Ii bill is reported for the new Territory the name
adopted will be Montana instead of Calona.
