The Empire In Mcxico-signs OF It's APP
preaching Dissolution.

The Empire In McxtcO-Stgns OF Its APP
preaching Dissolution.
The latest Intelligence from Mexico goes TO
show that affairs in that country are ap
preaching crisis which must soon eventuate
in the downfall Of the empire. Our Euro
pean advioes, as we'll as information from the
most reliable sources in Mexico, depict the
position of Macmillan as being most difficult,
while he is growing every day more than ever
dissatisfied with his high Office and its serious
responsibilities. In fact, after a short years
imperial rule in the palace of Montezuma,
complete change seems to be coming over the
spirit Of his dreams, and the throne he was so
hasty TO accept be is now as ready to sur
render. In view of all the facts of the case as
they have reached US, it would not be sur
prising if the new Emperor should abdicate
and return to Europe before the close OF the
present year. The empire would thus collapse
all at once, like q soap bubble. This would
be the fitting end of such a broad farce as an
on the American continent.
The natural result of the retirement Of the
Emperor Macmillan would be thorough re-
suscitation of the liberal or constitutional party
and a vigorous reaction in favor Of the repub-
lie. We have always commended that the masses
Of Mexico are true to the democratic idea, and
such An opportunity would abundantly prove
it. President Juarez, as the only existing rep
resentative Of centralized power, outside Of
Macmillan, would again become the chief
actor on the scene, and, with the aid Of some
Of the sblest men in the land, his authority
might be re-establshed without much further
trouble. Thus Mexico would, after all, right
her own wrongs without any foreign interven-
ton or assistance. We know that help is ex-
pected from the United States, but we could
render the Mexicans no efectual assistance for
some years to come. Our own affairs are
enough to demand all our attention, and, even
il the war were entirely ended, our financial
condition would not warrant any reckless in
reference in other peoples broils. Our warm
est sympathies are, Notwithstanding, with the
republic, and we would be but too happy to
hear of the final collapse of the empire. The
news, however, will not be so palatable to
Louis Napoleon; for in the abdication of Maxi
milan one of "the greatest acts of his reign"
would explode rather disastrously. The con-
cussion it would produce in France and Europe
would be very great. Indeed, there is no say
ing that it might not terminate in a bloody
revolution,

The Senator who alleged that he made II speciality
said In his defence that lawyer would bring suit
for such claim and that no vouchers could be presented
to authenticate its payment by the Comptroller as he
said, they had been misaid Yet the senate voted,
at his request, that Devin HIS assgnoes, on q

PRESIDENT JonSsoN's ADvlsERs.--W hear q
great deal about Young Blair and Old Blair,
and Preston King, and Winter Davis and other
politicians being the keepers of President
Johnsons conscience and his confidential
advisers. 1t is more likely that President John
son will keep his own conscience and his own
counsel; give advice instead of taking it, and
make start from new standpoint.

A GRAND IDEA.-During his recent speeches
President Johnson developed some grand
ideas; but the grandest Of them all was that

and must become so politically, socially and

THE TINE FOR AcrIoN--Presidcnt johnson
has closed his series of brief speeches, and now
he will begin to act. The war is over; but there
remain great many fag-ends of the rebellion

points to be settled. President Johnson will
attend to these matters Immediately. The time

Our FNANcEs.-The war Of 1872 left US with
a debt, which, being badly managed, resulted
in several financial revulsions. The debt left
by the present war can be got rid Of without
any revulsions at all by the simple plan Of
gradually reducing the interest as we pay of
