The Mexican Question.

] Hs
has al last - most probably per instructions
| from the President--taken up the Mexican matter
In earnest and Will attend to it with zeal so far
as as ne can 6e concerned. On Saturday morning
he invited Senior Romero, the Mexican Minister,
| to q confidential interview at his Headquarters
| which meeting took place, and lasted Tor some
time. After Senior Romeros departure there
was staff meeting. What connection this
may or may not have had with Mexican busi-
| ness cannot say.
! One thing more. There is no reason to believe
that the Mexican question has been reopened
/ with France, but that il remains lust where the
last published note from Drouyn de Lhuys TO
| Mr.. Seward placed it. The Government is wait
ing to see how the French act up to the first of
the coming year. II at that time il is seen that
| there Is any bad faith exhibited, or a tendency
to duplicity, then such action will 0e iorcibly
recommended as will insure our feelings and
interests to be respected.
President JuareZ has written letter in which
be again asserts his unwillingness to consider
any projects looking to a cession of the North
ern States Of Mexico to the United States
Furthermore, it well known that some three
years ago Don Jose Domingo CarteZ came to
this city and proposed, before the Executive,
the annexation to the United States of the State
OF Chlhuahua and states OF Mexico on the
Pacific coast, in order, as he said, to free them
from French Intervention, and that Juarez in
structed Senor Romero to officially deny that
Cartez had the right to make any such pro.
position.
The President and the Constitution.I
Amendment.
Politicians of various WAYS of thinking are
closely canvaSsing what the President NAV or
may not do on the subject OF the Constitutional
amendment with the meeting of Congress- and
general remark which they make is, I'VE will
not be surprised to find him heading off the
ylndlctive resentment of Congress by boldly
favoring Its immediate adOptiOn.n-N. Y. Herald

topic is laid aside and all interest is centred In
the state of affairs in Baltimore. The White
House presented quite lively scene to-day.
The new movement of the radical UnionIsts of
Baltimore in having the Swami Commissioners
taken before the Courts and held under bail to
keep the peace, has evidently outwitted Governor
Swami and his abettors. Swami and several of
his staff came over here from Baltimore last
evening.
To-day Swami called on the President at the
White House. He, of course, gave an account
of matters as they stand in regard TO the new
Police Commissioners. From the talk of the
Swami party 1t is evident they wish to get the
case before some Court outside of Baltimore
where there is a Rebel Judge presiding, and 80
have the imprisoned Commissioners released.
They also Intimate that il the above plan does
not succeed they will create a disturbance, call
on General Candy (whO commands the United
States forces in the distrct) to declare martial
law, and then have the new Police Commits
sioners released. Once out of prison, they will
again attempt to enforce their assumed power,
and In case OF an interference from the old
Board they will again call on General Canbv TO
decide which Is the lawful body. General Candy
will then consult General Grant and he (Gene-
raj Grant,, obeying the orders of his superior
officer, President Johnson, will order Candy to
act with the Executive of the State. The
writ OF habeas corpus process will first be tried
and II 1t fails, then either riot or surrender will
follow. So says the Swami party. For the BUR
pose of deciding a course to be pursued by the
United States Executive on the matter In it,
new state, special meeting of the Cabinet was
held TO day. Secretaries Stanton and Stanbery
were specially sent for to be present at the
White House. Secretary Stanbery was in church
when the messenger reached him, and from his
Bible and Prayer-Book he had to go hence to
attend affairs of State. General Grant was also
sent for and was present. The President pre-.
sented to the meeting SWanns plan above men
toned. and asked decision, he himself taking
ground in its favor. 1t seems that StanDery,
Stanton, and Grant took grounds ia favor OF
non-interterence OF military in the matter, but
to let 1t work itself out in the courts
This is all that Is known, and the course
agreed upon can only be surmi5ed. One thing
is certain, Swann's pet planiof having martial
law declared immediately has failed He re-
turned to Baltimore tonight. General Grant
and portion OF his staff also LETT here for Bal
timore in the evening train, He will remain
until after the election. Another point Swami
tailed in was in having more troops ordered to
Baltimore, General Grant and Secretary Stanton
thinking there is now sufficient number
already there. However, the I'd Battalion of the
1zth Infantry and battalion of cavalry, at
ing orders since Friday. They have knapsacks
PACKED and orders to be ready TO march at
