Mr.. E0itor-Six months, more or less, since, T
wrote you that a revolution was preparing in Mex
leo in favor of some cheftain, and while mention
ed, if | am not mistaken, both Santa Anna and
Comonfort, gave it as my opinion that the latter
would be the successful consprator. Treason is
| rather publicly discussed in Mexico, in the shape
of flaming denanciations against both the officer in
power and the one out OF Office. Both are de-
nounced together, and the one who is not in office
says he is prosecuted that he would do better than
anybody elsc, and ultimately a revolution com
| monces, and from having been the brunt of public
abuse, the conspirator steps in to fill the role of a
successful chief ! saw that COmonfort's friends
as well as his enemies continued to abuse him, and
| naturally concluded that he had some game to
play, else the public would hear nothing Of him.
OWNED that he intended to make an effort to re-
gain his lost position, and wrote you to that effect
when your contemporaries were lauding Juarez and
| ignoring all thought Of Comonfort.

still he was considered harmless. Then he slipped

vile. Still it was said he was poweress. He pro-
essed the most amable intentions, and requested,
| as patriot, that he might be allowed to live pri-
| the Government papers affirmed that he was un-
worthy to be longer dangerous. He accepted the
contumely, but still conspired The first rude
shock to official stolidty was when he left Browns
vile for Monterey, attended by guard. He was
characterized as fool in that proceeding and the
| idea obtained currency that he would be taken
prisoner by Gov. Ydaurri and sent TO Mexico to be
tried for treason in violating the law Of his Danish
| nent. By-and-bye il was reported that Vidaurri
was in league with Comontort, and that between
them was a deep political movement on foot. To-
day this position is a surety for five Governors are
now in arms to reinstate Comonfort as President.
The news has just been received at this place that
Governors DObladO, Juerta, OgazOn of Guanaiu-
ato, Morelia and Jslisco, with Vidaurr of Nuevo
Leon, and Arteaga of Guadalajara have recently
held meeting, and that the result Of their eoun-
sells was that Gen. Comontort should he reinsated,
and that the Constitution Of 1924 should be pro.
claimed. 1t Is said that the Church party agree to
this programme, and that Marquee has already
pronounced in its favor.
Under this plan you perceive there is a strong
ground for compromise of all the difficulties with
which the country has been besct for the last
thirtyseyen years. The present state Of confusion
grew out OF the overthrow of the Constitution of
1924, and probably its formal restoration will
settle matters. The church will retain all its an
cient privileges. and the States will be recognized
as having certain reserved rights As both parties
are exhausted in their resources and wearied with
the war, it is probable a wholesome truce can be
formed, which will be of immense benefit to the
country. At present, however, the Liberals pro-
test loudly against Comoni0rt and his prouuncia-
miento. 1t is my opinion, though, that he will sue
ceed, and that we shall see the whole country
settle down upon it, after few convusive at
tempts in different parts to resist the revelation.
In addition, ard as il to initiate with success the

In this State, (Zamanlpas) we are looking for a
revolution, and troops are being mustered into
service as rapidly as they can be had. In al
election for Governor, two months ago, Mr.. Guek

| being intmcal by majority, set the vote aside

seems that the Guerrero party have bought over
! the odd member in the Legislature and that il
will now disregard Lernas majority and either
| declare Guerrero elected or order new election
If this is done, Gen. Caravajal threatens to make
