THE FRENCH IN MEXICO,

We arc happy to be able to announce that
the following dispatch, sent from this city to
the New York Erenimg Post on the 10th
inst, is based upon more substantial truth
than much that has been published of late
on the subject of Mexico, as indicated in
last evenings REPUBLICAN. 1t says:
Those who are predicting that there is
likely to occur a breach between the Govern
ments Of France and the United States on the
subject of Mexico, are evidently not aware
that Mr.. johnson is acting in the matter
with a frankness and decision that will most
probably avert unpleasant consequences.
II is reported here, in diplomatic circles,
that while the President was preparing his
message the French Minister became aware
of certain expressions of Mr.. johnson in re.
gard to the French occupation Of Mexico,
coupled with demands upon France which
might place tho Emperor in an embarrassing
position.
1t is further said by those who tell this,
that upon hearing these things the French
Minister visited Mr.. Seward, and informally,
but positively, declared that the Emperor
did not wish for war with the United States,
and that he would very much regret such Ian
guage or action on the part of the United
States as would bring on a dead lock, and
make 1t impossible for him to recede without
humiliation.
At the same time NJ. de Montholon as
sured Mr.. Seward, SO say these persons, that
ho was authorized to promise that the French
troops would be withdrawn from Mexico ''in
little while" and that Napoleon only
asked for little patience in the United
States Government.
1t is further said that the French Minister
was able to satisfy the President upon this
one point, and to show authority for enga.
ging definitely that Napoleon would with
draw his forces "in Il little while" And it
is reported that Gen. Logan is so we'll salts
fed that there will be no difficulty, but that
Juarez and the Mexican republicans will
soon be peacefully reinstated in Mexico, that
he declines the mission as loss interesting TO
i'm than some other work ho has in hand.

REPREsENTATIVEs FROM THE
REBEL STATES.

It is probable that there are persons in the
United States who suppose that the rebel
States, when admitted to the privileges of
representation in Congress- will support the
Union party and sustain the Administration
OF President JOHNSON. Nothing is more i'm
probable. The people of the rebel States
are naturally hostile to the party and men
that have been chiefly instrumental in sup
pressing the rebellion. By old associations,
as well rs by their hopes of the future, the
people of the South will Join the remnant of

MIR. SUMNER NOT ENDORSED BY
THE TRIBUNE.

The New York Tri6~me, alluding to Sena-
tor SuMSER's undignifed and unsenatorial
whitewash" speech, in denunciation OF
President JonNsoN's message to the Senate
on the 9th instant, says:
owe find in the text of this message no
adequate reason for Mr.. Summers denuncia.
tion Of it. If the President had demanded
of Congress that it act on his judgment rather
than its own, then he would have acted un-
warrantably; but as he has simply given his
own view Of the existing situation, with his
reasons for suggesting particular course, he
deserves neither denunciation nor obloquy."

The railroad bill which passed the House
on Tuesday appears to have thrown the spe-
cal correspondents into state of special be-
wlderment. Their dispatches are luminous
with sage remarks upon the railroad system
of the country, and voluminous in denuncia-
tiOns Of moneyed monopolies A good many
of them appear to think that things have
been SO arranged now that passengers are to
be carried in balloon over New Jersey, or
possibly translated hence to New York. All
of them agree that it is terrible blow at all
the roads in that recently annexed domain.
The Boston Posts dispatch, which is com
paratively mildly blundering, fixes it this
way:
"Congress accomplished legislation to day Of
great interest In the House, under the opera
lions OF the previous question, a bill was rushed
through regulating commerce between the sew
era States. 1t is intended especially to refer to
New Jersey aud Maryland, and prohibit the lay
ing OF per capita tax on passengers from one
State who may be travelling in anothern
Now here is the bill:
Be II enacted, Ec. That every railroad com.
pany in the United States whose road Is operated
by steam, its successors and assigns be, and
are hereby, authorized to carry upon and over
It's road, connections, boats, bridges, and ferries
all passengers, troops, government supplies,
mails, freight, and property on their way from
one State to another State, and to receive com.
pensation therefor.
And the object of the bill is to enable the
Illinois Central and some other roads, which
received large grants of lands, in cOnsidera-
ton of which they were to render the Gov
ernment service without other compensation,
to collect pay for such service hereafter in
very hard cash-or as hard as may be the
fashion of the period. 1t will require much
scrutiny to discover the air line through, New.
Jersey cat in that meal tub.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2l.-This morning
the passenger way train on the Philadelphia
and Trenton railroad, from Holmesburg, was
run into when crossing the Reading railroad
at the junction by an engine of the latter
road. Both engines and tenders were dam
aged. Nobody was hurt. The New York
train had not arrived up to 1890, and prob
