1t ls stated that government has arrived at
understanding with the French government and
that to all intents and purposes, the difficulty be-
tween them is settled. The French are about to
leave Mexico, and the United States had waived
any intention to enforce the Monroe doctrine.
There will probably be no recognition OF Mexi-
CO, but there is pledge expressed that the Unit.
ed States will take no overt act means depose
place.
While it is not likely that formal diplomatic re-
lations will be opened with the emperor, a quasi
recognition will result from the present under
standing that U. 5. consuls will be appointed and
employed in their proper function OF protecting
American trade in Mexico.
1t Is not likely that the French will leave Mex
co before the close of the year, and while they
are gong their place Will be supplied by Austri-
ans, Belgians and such Mexicans as will accept
the emperor.

prisoner behind in the jail of Rockingham be-
cause he had been granted q new trial. The
man had married a Young lady In the western
part Of the county in 1861, and in 1863 had gone
10 the eastern part OF the State and married
another. For this he was tried and sentenced
TO three years in the penitentiary, but moved
q new trial. and got il. After getting new
trial, third wife appeared on the scene from

before the other two, and she had heard from
