OF TME MEXICAN
EMPIRE,

The Archduke Macmillan has at length
officially informed the Mexican deputatlon oil ms
acceptance of tho Mexican throne, and has, at
the same time, set forth in brief speech the
reasons which have prompted him to accept the
offered crown, and the principles in accordance
with which be intends to govern. The Official
Journals Of the European Governments now re-
gnrd the creation of the Mexican Empire as an
accomplished fact Macmillan is for them no
longer the Archdukc, but his Majesty the
Emperor Of Mexico. They register, in common
court style, lis movements, and the appoint
mcrtS made by him, and indulge without re-
slrant in spccuations upon the great benefits
which Mexico and the entire New World are
likely to derive from the establishment of the
Empire.
The new American Emperor states, as the
first reason for his acceptance Of the crown, that
he is convinced that the resolution of the Mexl-
can Notables has been confirmed by an over
ruling majority Of the inhabitants of the coun-
try To show that no man could honestly
make such an assertion, we only need to point
to a few well-known and not disputed facts.
The French have never had within their lines
more than onc-half of the Mexican population.
Among the other half no vote, Of course, ever
was or ever could be taken. Even French pa
pcrs, which support the Empire, have stated that
IN the country within the lines 0ftho Fronc harny
only the towns have been called upon to vote
that is to say only a small minority OF the
population within the French lines. OF the re-
suit of this vote no one has ever received any
information. In tho Mexican and European
organs of the new empire the vote of not Il
single town has been officially published. II
the Archduke, notwithstanding these facts, is
persuaded that majority of the Mcxican' have
approved the resolution Of the Notables, he
must possess a mind more readily impreSsible
than the rest of mankind.
But, however this may be, We must make NJ
our minds TO the fact that we shall soon have
on our southern frontier, if not yet an Empire,
at least an Emperor. The new monarch will
soon be followed by "A Foreign Legion, CON
ssting of about e, coo Austrian volunteers, who
are intended to replace the French army, which
i, gradually to be recalled. If this programme
is to be carried out, we may safely predict, in
view Of the latest occurrences in our sister Re-
public, that the army of Macmillan will find
it,elf unable to complete the conquest OF The
country

an "inrcriable Circulating Medium" a. our cor
respondent demands: for Gold and Silver come
nearer to fulfilling that one condition of good
Circulating Medium than any other substance
or imaginable thing. But VIC need Currency
not only of definite value but of adequate
volume, and one afTording to business the
largest and rcadlc,t facilities Suppose for
example, the people Of Liberia, or of any new
community, being poor and all but destitute %
the Precious Metals, were to say, ave

they might and must suffer enormously
before they could adequately provide them
selves with that Currency. The farmer, the
manufacturer, the mechanic, could not hire
labor. because they could not pay for il; the
laborcr would famiSh III idleneSs because no one
could hire and pay him. The community would
be thrown back on system Of universal bar
tcrinr, wherein man who has grain To sell
takes for it horse and an OK, hoping soon to
sell the latter, which he does not want, for
saddle and bride which he does; meantime, he
has the OK to keep, and must spend his time
trying to trade him around into saddle and
bride.
Oar vital difficulty at present is, that we are
spending a great deal more than we can earn,
and have to resort to the usual shifts of spend
Thrills. The only remedy is for the People to
buy the stocks or bonds Of the Government and
thus diminish the volume Of the Circulating
Medium. while our armies, strengthened TO the
utmost, and ably led, advance upon the strong
holds OF the Rebellion. We shall pay our Pub
lie Debt at the worst; and victory alone can
rive us immcdiatcrceff from financial difficulty.
Meantime, let every patriot invest every dollar
he can spare in the new National Loan.

a SENATOR ON RECOHsTRECTIoN
AND OFFICE-UOLDsNG.

In The PGjdro Tm's, Published at Watson
VILE California, We find the following extracts
from private letter written By Senator Con-
ness TO a friend in Sacramento City:
As to 'reconstruction.' an for keeping ont every

libltinF slavery; and in States whore there not

From the foregoing extracts it will be seen
that the California Senator is in earnest, and
states his convictions and policy in language
that cannot be misunderstood. His standard
for officeholders is not far from the old Jeiier-
sonian one. IL might be improved however
by adding that no able bodied man, liable to
military duty, shall be employed in any civil
position under the National Government for
which an equally eligible disabled soldier shall
be an applicant. viii the Senator accept this

cry, Disunion never could have gained
the mastery in single Southern State; abolish
Slavery tomorrow, and the Union would
speedily reconstruct itself without the firing of
another shot. OF course, Secession was in
every view an enormous blunder; but the funda-
mental mistake was the attempt to hold on to
Slavery ut ALL after the Steam En-
CINE and thousand subordinate inven-
tons had rendered it solecism-
a relic of some Doyonian or Silurian era, long
past and forgotten. Peaceful and general
Emancpation--the sooner the better-was the
true remedy for the grcvous ills of the South 4;
her hot-heads rejected it for the experiment OF
Rebellion. And now the War has so educated
the Poor Whites of the South, while it has
awakened the Slaves and inspired them with
strange hopes, that we doubt the possibility Of
reGstabishing Slavery on its old and firm founda-
tons, even if the independence of the South
were freely and promptly conceded. Slavery is
not dead, but it must die; the only practical
questonis--" Shall this process be accomplished
speedily or through further CONFUSION OF
twenty or thirty years." Wevote for the short
