The N. Y. Times consoles itself, amid its many
wOe,, by the reflection that the Hon. III. j. Ray
moDd, considered especially as successful aspirant
for public honors, is an object of tremendous envy
to Mr.. II. Greeley. We don't like to destroy any
illusion that can afford relief to suffering minds,
but this one is rather too prepOsterous. Mr.. Ray
mond's last achievement as an Office seeker was
the position of Lieutenant. Governor to which ne
was elected as supporter of the Maine-Law,
having first gone personally to two or three State
Conventions to engineer the nomination for him
self. There may have been ambitious innocents
who envied the glory of distinction acquired
with such effort and at such cost of sef-respect
(supposing man had any; but long before Mr..
Raymond had concluded his term of service, all
such envy must have given way to pity where it
was not supplanted by contempt more con-
spicuous and instructive failure was hardly ever
seen. No doubt there are asses 10 the State of
New-YOrk; but We don't believe the dullest of
them all is idiot enough to envy the political sue
cesses of the Hon. Henry j. Raymond.

The Hon. Henry j. Raymond formally and even
sOlemnly declines the dignity of U. s. Senator,
soon to be vacated by Mr.. Seward. So far as we
are aware this desirable Office has never yet been
offered to him except possibly in confidence and in
secresy at the suggestion of his friend and ad-
mirer Gen. Webb. However, it is only prudent
in him to seize the present opportunity of refusing
the distinctions for it does not appear likely that
he will have another at very early day.
Our information that quiet efforts had been
made in Western New-YOrk to secure Members
favorable to his election as Senator, was direct
and positive; but we are far from averring that
he had any knowledge of the fact. The person to
whom he attributes our former paragraph had
nothing to do with it. Why may not II. j. II. be
equally innocent of the exertions made in his be-
half by his friends

sTEALlNG TIE FH,vRIEs.

The Supreme Court has decided thai the City OF
New-York owns the Ferry franchises within her
jurisdictions but the Common Council appears to
be bent upon depreciatng their value as speed,,.y
as possible. A little over a year ago, company
of philosophical Williamsburghers entered the
lists against George Law, and actually had the
temery to purchase the lease of certain ferries to
that city, which Mr. Law desired to get, but was
outbid. Within month, no weyer, he succeeded
in inducing our immaculate Common Council IN
violation of the charter to give Inn other ferries
alongside of those of the new com, amy anu ny

while the legal lesseos of the city were n. 'uei
rent of S36, 900 per annum he succeeded IN .o''
than year in breaking DOWN the new company,
and compelling them to give him their ferries.
Since that time, he has used these valuable ferries
without paying cent for their use to the city,
and, having everything within his grasp now rules
the unfortunate burghers with rod of iron exact
ing extoriOnate fares, and refusing to sell commu-
atiOn tickets, as guaranteed to the people by the
authorities of NewYork. To-day the Union Ferry
leases, which are now worth more than twice az
much as they were ten years ago, were to be
sold at public auction; but last evening our
precious Common Council hurried resolution
through both Boards to authorize Mr.. Law
" to agree with the owners of the Peck. slip
FERRY for the purchase Of the lease of
" said Ferry, and to run said Ferry to and from
the foot of Fulton street, Brooklyn" OF course,
after that the leases will not bring so much to the
city to-day by fifty per cent as they would have

resolution. And then, the modesiy of the PROPOSE.

Latest FROM MEXICO.

News from Mexico, via Vera Cruz and New

frequent occasion to observe three or four rectif-
cations before it approaches to correctness. The
latest version of the news by the Pocahontas very
essentially mOdifes the first accounts though
whether the bottom is yet reached is more than we
will guarantee.
The first version of this news included the very
important item that Zuloaga, the author of the
plan of Tacubaya, which is the basis of the Mira
mon administration, had, backed by the clergy.
issued decree deposiDg MiramOn from the Pres.
dency and replacing himself III it. 1t now appears
that if any movement of this sort was made it
was wholly al abortive one. Zuloaga, according

by MiramOn in his march to Guanaxuato to en-
counter the victorious army of Uraga. MiramOn
started on this expedition with some five
or six thousand men, having first raised,
as the means of moving, nearly half
million of dollars by q forced loan imposed
upon the city of Mexico, to which it is said foreign
merchants as well as others were obliged to con-
tribute. Uraga, it will be recOllected, gained q
decisive victory on the Odd of April over a corps
OF Miramon's army, lately at San Luis PotOs
commanded by Gen. De la Vega. This battle was
