THE TAYLOR INDIcTNENT.-ln another column
we publish spicy article on the Taylor indict-
ment from the Polise Gazette, a journal whose
speciality is to take cognizance Of the deeds of
criminals and the proceedings adopted to ar
rest their career. That paper well observes
that the fact of the Indictment against Taylor
having never appeared in the New York Times
is accounted for by another fact, and that is that
Taylor is one of the principal owners of the con-
cern. He has been taken into partnership in
order to prevent the paper from going down;
and, though the capital thus put in was the pro-
cecds of the West Washington Market job and
other fat jobs, in whose achievement the Times
rendered him effective service. the "Little Viii
lain thought the money smelled as sweet to
him as the coins raised by a tax upon one of the
excrctions of the human body smelled to the
of the Brick Church and its graveyard, where
the dead were disturbed in what their surviving
friends believed to be their last resting place,
in order that the ground might be devoted to
building purposes and the speculation Of the
stockjobbng proprietors of the Times, the
"Iittle Villain concluded that the odor of the
grave and Of dead mems bones which
from the money made out of that job was by
no means disagreeabIe. We would not be sur
prised, however, if now and then the ghosts of
the departed should make their appearance in
the Times office, and demand why it was their
sleep was disturbed.
This concern has always been sustained by
;rJ T, tba
stockholders who then owned it lost so much
by their investments in deprecated railroad
and bank stocks that the paper nearly caved in.
The resurrection of human bones saved it till
Taylor came to its relief with his numerous
Jobs. including the West Washington Market,
the Cleu will case and the Ganscvoort property.
In the market case Comptroller Hawes swore
positively that the whole affair was fraud
upon the city, and Judge Ingraham so decided
by setting aside the former judgment obtainsd
for Taylor And thereby hangs tale. Ac-
cording to the Police Gazette the articles which
appeared in the Times abusing Judge Ingraham
for his honest decision 'were prepared in skelc-
ton form in the Office of James b. Taylor, and
then sent to the Times office, where they we're
arranged in form for publication"
The arrangement is somewhat changed now;
for while the "Little Villain at Albany rcgu-
latcs The lobby, and has sharp eye upon any
jobs that may turn up there, bis partner, Taylor,
in New York, manages the paper and any jobs
that may loom up to his vision from the City
Hall, which fronts the Times Office, and is
almos. within arms length of the great in
dicted. This is beautiful arrangement while
Il lasts; but Oakley Hall, some fine day, wiz
probably make change in the programme.

Mexico, the Allies and the United
States.

The Mexican game is gradually developing
itself before the eyes of the world. England is
watching on the one hand the designs of Spain
to destroy the republic and reassert her old
dominion over the country, and on the other
those of France TO place Maximilan of Austria
on Mexican throne in exchange for the annexa-
ton of Venetia to the kingdom of Italy, and
the annexation of the island Of Sardinia to the
empire Of France. She is jealous of both, and
both will assuredly be ioiled. Perhaps one of
the most remarkable events in the remarkable
history of Spain is her sudden rise to her present
position of importance before the world She
is found in good company in Mexico; and the
proverb which tells us that birds of feather
flock together is not without weight. Deriving
sion Of Cuba, she has kept pace with civilization
during the last few years by the introduction Of
railways into her country and steam into
her commerce and navy. Inflated with an
idea of her reviving power, she commenced
the new era in her history by war
against her old enemies, the Moors, which might
easily have been dispensed with, and certainly
did Spain no more good than to show the world
that she was able to carry on war, IL it was
only in Morocco. Intoxicated with the petty
victory gained over the dusky warriors on the
other side of the Straits, and taking advantage
of the war in the United States, she recalled her
recollections of the time of Charles ", and,
thirsting for conquest took possession of St.
Domingo. Having re-established the Spanish
flag on that sable shore, she became more en-
bodened 6nd looked forward to the speedy
restoration Of her power on the American con-
tinent. Mexico should fall first, and the repub-
lies on the Pacific slope one after the other,
until from Panama to Valparaiso the proud
banner of CASTLE waved once more in triumph.
But il was only dream--a dream that will
never become a reality. With ali her thirst for
territorial aggrandizement, and The prestige Of
her former history, she is doomed to see these,
her cherished hopes, blasted, one by one, for
ever.
She Is now deep in tho exciting game Of
Mexican intervention, with France urging

The Confessions OF Jeff Davis-The Col.
lapse Of the Rebellion.

JEFF. Davis confesses. The truth at last is
coming out His message to the rebel Con-
gress, which we published yesterday, is re-
freshing document. His inaugural, though
gloomy enough, was rather labored argument
for European consumption than an honest state
ment Of his situation. He cannot, however,
any longer disguise it, when called upon to
submit to his Confederate Congress the stub
born facts, the exigencies, the dangers, the
deficiencies and pressing necessities of his
wrctched mockery of an independent govern
ment Its day of false pretenccs, great expec-
tations, splendid promises, vain conceits and
rose colored estimates has gone by. His South
ern Utopia, like the great South Sea Bubble. or
the Morus Multicaulis speculation, has COL
lapsed, and Davis admonishes his confederates
that they must be quick about it, or they will
save nothing from the general wreck.
In the outset of this message he fatly con-
fesses that ''since the message at the last ses-
sion of the Provisional Congress (some three
months ago) events have demonstrated that
the government had attempted more than it had
power successfully to achieve" and that "hence
in the effort to protect by our arms the whole
territory of the Confederate States, seaboard
and inland, we have been so exposed as recent
ly to encounter serious disasters" So, SO;
"Are you there, Mr.. Truepenny!" The attempt
to capture hold and carry of from the Union
Maryland, the city of Washington, Virginia
Kentucky, Tennessee Missouri and Arkansas
was mistake, was it? We think SO; and we
suspect that JEFF, in this comprehensive pro-
gramme having utterly failed, is slyly recon-
mending to his Congress prudent retreat to
the defensive line of the seven original seeding
cotton States. lie confesses that those States
plunged into this rebellion as a sort of conf
dence game, and that "to great extent they
were destitute of the means for the prosecution
of the war on so gigantic scale a. that IN
which IL Las attained" Just so. In fact they
expected that a mere show Of Southern chiyalry
Ia tho field would frightea of the Lincoln gov
ernmert and the great business interests of the
North dependent upon Southern trade; or that

JepF DAVIS AND SHORT ENIIsrSENrs.-In his
message to the Confederate Congress jeff. Davis
complains of the short time for which men have
been enlisted for the Confederate army, and
ascribes their disinclination to remain in arms
for a longer period than few months to their
want of appreciation of the probable duration of
the war. There is another reason, much moro
obvious and effective than this, however, and
that is want of pay. The certificate of dis
charge from the Confederate army, a. fac smile
of which we subjoin, throws a great deal of
light upon the manner in which JEFF. Davis
soldiers are paid. This discharge was found in
the knapsack of Capt. Carter who threw aside
all his accoutrements and did his best, in
humble way, to initiate the famous flight Of the
renowned Gen. Price, at the skirmish at Mid
dleton, Missouri

He will be allowed pay from the place OF his discharge

twenty miles per diem and subsistence at the rate Of

From this certificate it is seen that private
Keeble has served the rebels for six months, and
has received no pay whatever. He furnished
his own clothing and accoutrements, and has
never been remunerated for them. He brought
his own horse with him, and has never been
paid for that. In short he has been forced to
contribute himself, his horse, his musket and his
clothing to a cause which, likely enough, he
detested, and for which he has never received a
single cent. The remote prospect that his ac-
count would be settled, some time or other. in
Confederate bonds-payable the week after
the Day of Judgments now lost to him by
the cowardice of his captain. Yet Keeble's
case is not an unfair example of the manner in
which the Confederate soldiers are treated and
paid; and if JEFF. Davis will look over this dis
charge, with its pompous array Of pay pro-
missed and its official record of pay not forth
coming, he will needno further information Of
the reasons why no one will enlist in his army
if it can be helped, why short snlistments are
decidedly preferred, and why re-enlistments are

her on to certain point for an ulterior
purpose, and England trying to checkmate
them both, while the bravery of the Mexicans
themselves promises to Illustrate all three But
if it so happens that Mexico is unable to defend
herselfagainst this unwarranted aggression, she
will find shield in the United States. So long
as the Allies confined their operations to en-
forcing payment of the debts due to their re-
spectiye subjects there was, when the anarchy
Of the country was taken into consideration,
little to cayil with in European Intervention
But when, as it is now openly declared, both
France and Spain entertain separate projects
for the permanent subversion of the govern
ment of the country, and the establishment OF
a European despotism over it, the question as
sumes widely different aspect But, bad as
the present complication of affairs in that quar-
ter may be, even at this early stage of the
movement it would be premature for the
United States to interfere just now, even if we
found it perfectly convenient to do so. Let
us wait till the results of the expedition
have become an outrage to the civilized
world, and then step in as the mediator
and avenger. By that time our own war
will be off our hands, and, the federal flag hav-
ing been restored throughout the whole of the
Southern States, we shall be left with an army
of half million of men. We shall then not
| only be able to become the champion of our re-
publican brethren on this continent, but to
teach Spain a salutary lesson, and put an end to
| all her hopes of conquest in American waters.
| We shall wrest from her treacherots grasp the
island upon which she at present fattens, and
destroy the only hotbed of the slave trade in
| the world. We shall restore the republican
flag on the soil of San Domingo, and we shall
erect barrier to all attempts at the Spanish
| conquest of South America in the future. We
shall consign her to the squalor of her own
kingdom, where she may employ herself in
quieting the insurrectionary feelings Of her
own discontented people. Thus the Mexican
expedition will end only with disaster to her.
