THE EVACUATION or MExrco-The doubts in
spired by the change in the French programme
in regard to Mexico, and which led to the long
cable despatch from the State Department to
Mr.. Bigelow, have been set al rest by the
answer Of that gentleman. He states that he
has 1t In writing from the French Minister OF
Foreign Affairs that there Ia no change in the
Emperor's resolution, but that upon military
considerations he has deemed II expedient to
substitute one comprehensive evacuation for
an evacuation in several parts. All the French
troops, he adds, will leave Mexico in the month
of March. II Is well to have this definite
assurance. Although the peculiarly critical
situation Of the French, spread as they arc
over considerable extent Of territory, was
in itself sufficient motive for change in the
plan, the absence OF . specific explanation TO
that effect had excited doubts In the minds OF
many as to whether there were not other
and more equivocal reasons for the delay.
II was indeed openly asserted that his i'm
perial Majesty was waiting for something
to turn up to render the fulflment of his
pledge unnecessary. A difficulty with England
in regard to the Alabama claims, the probable
execution Of the Fenian prisoners in Canada
and the malcontent condition Of the South
were each and all suggested as influencing
this hesitation. More recently still the de-
parture Of Miramon for Mexico was dwelt
upon as a fact significant Of trouble. We
ourselves entertained no anxiety on the
subject However much Napoleon might
have liked to profit by the eventualities in
question, and admitting even that they had
modified his arrangements, we felt satisfied
that the result would be the same. There was
nothing sufficiently substantial in any Of them
TO justify the beliefthat shrewd mind like his
would allow itself long to be influenced by
them. But leaving out Of the question any
lingering hopes that the Emperor might have
entertained on these points, there IL really, II
seems to us, good ground for the extension OF
time which be claims. Were he 70 push for
ward the withdrawal Of his troops too prccipi-
lately thsrs would be danger Of their being
out of IN detail by the liberals, according as
they abandoned their fortified positions. Then,
again, the obstinscy Of MsximilIsn has compli-
Gated the position. The French canno, quit
the country with honor until they have Sc

WoxEN's RIoHrs.-During the war we heard
but little Of the women's rights movement.
The reason, we presume, was that il the theory
Of equality of rights with the men had been too
theoretically pushed it might have been as
scented to on the condition that the fair sex
should do its share Of the fighting. Now that
the war is over and that there is no danger Of
this disagreeable preliminary being insisted
upon, there are indications OF an intention to
actively commence the agitation again. This
is hardly fair. Equal rights imply equal obli-
cations, and we see no reason why II the ono
is to be conceded the other should not be en-
forced. But perhaps the fair leaders Of the
movement think they are fully qualified in this
regard, on the ground that they do all their
fighting at home. III aey do they should let US
know ii, inasmuch a. II will enable us to recon-
cile an apparent inconsistency in their posi-
ton.

Two MORE New SrArEs.-A caucus Of repub-
loan Senators took place on Friday last, called
expressly to consult with regard to the admis-
sion Of Colorado and Nebraska into the Union.
Although no formal question was tskenit was
agreed that the bills for this purpose should
be called up early this week. Nebraska has
already the population requisite for admission
as State, and inasmuch as the alleged de-
hciency Of Colorado in this respect is being
supplied by the daily influx Of emigration, and
particularly o. she presents herselfa at the doors
Of Congress In no questionable shape-at least
not in shape likely to be challenged rudely
by republican majority, for she has already
elected two Senators. and member Of the
right stripe-there Is little doubt that this
Jaw in her title will not long delay her I'D
nilsson. ra rer a.oer ts -54s...@...-.,
4 Besides these two new States, Colorado and
Nebrasks, it il probable that at least 1--WE
more Washington, Idaho, Dakota, Arizona
and New Mexico-will be added to tho Union
before the expiration Of two years. As to-
Utah, il must wait while longer, until
thoroughly purged of lurking treason, the
mysteries, superstitions and alleged sbomina-
tions of ecclesiastical despotism, and particu-
larly the poison Of polygamy. Secret assasi-
nation must also be abolished. The Saints
must learn that murder and architecture are
not the only fine arts, and that till the ground
and kill your (Gentile) neighbor IL not the
only commandment When Utah shall thus
have become purified and enlightened its
population will reap unmixed advantages from
their admirable system Of organized emigra-
ton and industry. Moreover, Its position IS .
State lying on the line Of the great Pacific
Railroad will insure to il incalculable ad-
vantages.
The erection Of these vast Territories, one
after another, into mighty and populous States,
together with the rapid development of their
agricultural resources and untold mineral
wealth, are astonishing illustrations Of the
expansive grandeur Of our American empire
And they significantly suggest to the student
Of our political history how speedily the hour
Is approaching when, slavery and other irri-
tating causes Of antagonism betw cen the few
Southern States aud the few New England
State having been wholly removed, even
these extreme sections will forget their old
fanatical whims and hates. and, shorn Of the
strength which used to be the arrogant boast
and the temptation Of each, will modestly
wheel into harmonious union with the other
States. Neither tho Southern States, however
reconstructed, nor the New England States
viii then be able to dispute the supremacy Of
the Central States and the States OF the great
West, which must hold the balance Of power,
shaping the policy and directing the destiny
Of our imperial republic.

CouRrpg APPHxIs.-In the Supreme
Court Of Appeals yesterday decree was
entered in the case Of a. Wilson Kelly
| ps. Hutchins & Moore and others, setting
aside the decision Of the Ohio county
Circuit Court. q IN Z al ~
The case of Hugh Kyger, plaintiff IN
| error %. M. A. Roberts dete y gan In
error, an appeal from the Roan ne county
cirouit Court was argued at length and
Submitted to the Court for it's decision
Colonel Benjamin Smith, Of Kanaw ha
and D. Lamb, Esq, Of this city,
appeared for the plaintiff in error and
Judge George II. Lee, of Clarksbprg. for
the defendant in error. The particulars
Of this case are about as follows: Kyger,
while in the Confederate service, went
into Roane county with number of
soldiers and seized and carried off Rob.
erts after the close of the war
Roberts brought y suit against Ky
ger and his men and recover.
ed damages to the amount of
about forty Thousand dollars, ten. thous-
and dollars of which sum is to be paid
by Kyger. Kyger took an appeal from
the decision of the Roane Circuit
Court to the Court of Appeals.i Roberts
denies Kyger's right to bring suit in
West Virginia, and confronts him with
the suitor's test oath, which iron Glad"
requires persons to swear that they have
never been engaged in rebellion nor
given aid and comfort to the enemies of
this State or the United States. The
question to be decided by the Court,
before the appeal of Kyger can be heard,
is whether the suitor's test oath is con-
stitptional. If it is decided to be consti-
tutienal the appeal will be heard; if not,
the decision of the Roane Circuit Court
stands.
The case of David Grim, plaintiff in
error, Is. Joseph T. Gehring and Others,
was argued by VIM. G.. Brown, Esq, for
plaintiff, and N. Richardson, Esq. for
defendant. The Court asked time to
consider the case before rendering de-
cision. This cause is an appeal from a
decision of the Preston County Circuit
Court, in land suit, and involves about
fifteen hundred dollars. -

whom he was counting his present wife.
The remuneration for such services was
next talked of, when our business man
said he would give his listener twenty
cents If he would carry note for hun
The proposition was agreed to, on con-
,iition that the contents Of the note
should be indicated to the bearer The
note was then written and handed over.
The post.boy, not caring to deliver the
letter, went to an excellent penman, and
an answer was soon gotten up, in a
delicate hand, accepting the profered
compliments, and agreeing to an
interview. Tho answer being delivered,
the business man proceeded to array
himself In his best, and was about to
repair to the dwelling of the fair one,
when suddenly he thought it was posi-
BILE he might be "sold." He postponed
his visit, and discovered that his CORES
pondence was all hoax. The cream of
the affair is, that the person sold Is an
old Joker, and it is unusually difficult to
perpstrate q joke at his expense. But
his passion for the fair sex, and his love
of white envelopes, gave an opportunity
whereby he might be sold once, ut least.
