The country needs to get back, SO soon as
possible to sober, patient, end rational frame
of mind-to discard the passion for becoming
swiftly opulent-to resume its faith IN labor as
the only reliable productive force. One does
not like to say hard things Of paper currency
which has carried US through our publlc
troubles; but the sooner We have money instead
of paper the sooner prices will 90 down, and
producers be willing to content themselves
with moderate profits. Business its chances;
but there is as much difference between the
luck of steady and rational transactions, and
the hit or miss of speculation, as between
healthy circulation of the blood and the hurry
ing heat of q typhus fever. The Rev. MIR.
Lane should not have resigned his pastorate, for
he is Just the man who is needed in those parts;
and, even if his successor bestows his benedic'
ton upon gambling, we have no doubt the
parish will soon try its luck by giving him his
dismissal and calling for somebody else.

French troops from Mexico may be regarded as
certain Letters received yesterday fully con-
firm the reports previously given concerning
this point in The TRIBUNE. They also confirm
the news given in late number Of the Paris
Presse, that an extraordinary commissioner has
already been sent to Mexico to make the neces-
sary preparations for the evacuation. The
Emperor of France no longer insists on recog'
milton of Macmillan by the United States, but
is satisfied with the renewed promises that the
Government of the United States will preserve
the strictest neutrality with regard to Mexico.
Whether an Austrian force, however, is TO sup

not stated.

We H@gratulate the country, and the humane
and just of every land, on the passage by the
Senate Yesterday Of Mr.. TrumbulpS bill to pro-
tect the liberty and civil rights of all our peo-
pie. This bill expressly recognizes the colored
natives Of this country as citizens Of the United
States, and, as such guarantees to them every
civil right, equally with other citizens, allowing
no State or other local authority to Cypress or
degrade them, or in any manner subject them
to disabilities or indgnities. In short, this bill
fulflls the pledges given in President Lincoln's
two Proclamations of Freedom, and in the pas
sage of the Constitutional Amendment OF last
Session. The vote was very full, and the ma
jority most decisive.
