The Mexican Question.

Il is stated that our Government
has arrived at an understanding with
the French Government, and that to
all intents and purposes the difficulty
between them is settled. The French
are about to leave Mexico, and the
United States Government had waived
any intention to enforce the Monroe
doctrine. There will probably be no
recognition Of Mexico. bnt there is a
pledge. expressed or implied. that the
United States will take no overt means
to depose Macmillan and put Juarez
or any one else in his place. while it
is not likely that formal diplomatic re-
lations will be opened with the Empire.
A quasi recognition will result from
the present understanding that is.
Consuls will be appointed and employ
ed in their proper functions OF pro-
tecting the American trade in Mexico.
It is not likely that the French will
leave Mexico before the close Of the
year, and while they are going, their
place will be supplied BY Austrians.

The Hon. Henry S. Lane Of Indiana

The Hon. Henry S. Lane Of Indiana
not reckoned heretofore a Radical
delivered recently in the Senate a for
chile speech on the pending Constitu-
tional Amendment, denying that the
present Government Of North Carroll
ma is Republican declaring t.iiie prop
osition to admit Rebel States at pres
ent to be monstrous +; avowing his
opinion that emancipated slaves were
at least as fit to vote as the rebels !;
proposing that period should be fixed
when both might enjoy the elective
franchise asserting it to be the duty
of Congress and not of the President
to settle plan for reconstruction, and
insisting that no reconstruction was
prudently possible till amendments to
the Constitution had been perfected,
black men admitted to civil rights, and
the Fredmen's Bureau bill in operation.

Our readers will remember the old.
very old Frenchman, Joseph Circle, who
attracted 80 much attention in the
papers last summer. He is dead.
The Portage, Wis. Register, says:
"This aged veteran Of l41 years
has been called home at last. He
died on Saturday, the 9th of January.
after brief illness at the residence Of
his granddaughter, Mrs. Brisbois, in
Caledonia, about four miles from this
city. During the past year, Mr.. Circle
obtained q worldwide notoriety
through the newspapers on account
of his extreme longevity. He was
born near the city Of Detroit in the
year 1895, as shown by the records Of
the Catholic Church of that city, and
was probably the Oldest man in the
world. His funeral took place at his
late residence. on Monday, and large
number of friends and ncighbors were
present, several going from this city"

We learn that Judge Fairfield of
Floyd County, held Judge Williams
Court in ChickAsaw County last week.
He had the good sense to believe and
the moral courage to announce that
the Federal Government could not linn
it and control the power of State
Court by taxing or requiring stamp
upon its process.
We understand that Judge Williams
is of the same opinion, but has been
waiting for some man whose Loyal.
ty" was less suspected, to lead of.
He has now got the precedent from
that source, and we presume will have
the nerve to follow it.-Fayette County

Charles City, Iowa, Feb. %, 1866.


We learn that young lady, recent
ly married and living near Jackson.
vile, Chickasaw county, set out on
foot in company with her father, on
Tuesday of last week, to go to her ia
theirs house at or near New Hampton,
a distance of five or six miles. The
father had called for his daughter with
a team, but while in her house the nor
ses broke away and went nome. The
storm of that day increased in violence
after the father and daughter had star
ted, and they lost their way. Night
came on, and after wandering about
for sometime the young lady sank
down in the snow benumbed and ex-
hausted. When morning dawned the
father covered his daughter with snow
and went home. Taking his team he
returned, and wasted the day in fruit
less efforts to find her, the storm still
raging with terrible fury and the cold
most intense On Thursday the citi-
Gems rallied and went in pursuit. They
found the young lady where her father
had left her, buried in the snow, and,
strange to say, she was alive and had
her senses. 1t was at first supposed
that amputation Of some of her limbs
would be necessary, but our latest in
formation is that she will recover with
out the loss of more than, perhaps,
some of her fingers. 1t is said that
the young lady taught school in Chick
asaw village last summer. We have
been unable to learn her name.

to be actively and constant

Many Of the idlers that daily visit our
