Maxico.

Thelatest news contain the important announce
ment that the Emperor Macmillan will pFSba-
bly, return to Europe in the Austrian fEgate'
which was recently dispatched from Triest by the
Emperor Austria. 1t is further announce that
20 war steamers will leave France for Mexico in
November to bring home the entire French force
now in that country. Whether these important
statements are entirely accurate not, the speedy
return of Macmillan to Europe as well as the
withdrawal of the French army, are no longer
liable to the least doubt. All the information
that for months has reached US both from Mexico
and from France, was entirely concurrent With
regard to this point Such is the ignominious end
of the grandest Intervention of European mon
archism upon American soil and the fact that
this intervention was undertaken against the
most disorganized and, therefore, in many re-
spects one of the weakest American Republics,
makes the failure all the more signal. In the
reign of the Third Napoleon, the Mexican
Expedition will not be, as the Emperor predicted
one thebrightest, pages. According to present APP
pearances, the Emperor and the whole Napoleon
ic dynasty will he lucky it will only be recorded
as great disaster. Ea
simultaneously with this important announce
ment from Europe we receive an order from Gen.
Sheridan taking more decided ground in favor
of the Government of President Juarez than any
similar official document had done before. The
General commanding the forces on the Rio
Grande is instructed to warn the adherents of any
party or pretended government IN Mexico, or in
the State of Tamaulipas, that they will not be
permitted to violate the neutrality laws between
the Liberal Government of Mexico andt he United
States, and to enforce these instructions against
the buccaneers representing the so called Impe
perial Government, as well as against the Orte
ga, Santa Anna, and other factions
1t must be expected that both the European
news and the order of the American General
will greatly strengthen the cause represented by
President Juarez, who has now just reason for
hoping to see his authority again recognized by
the whole country.-N r. Tribune,

Mr.. PEABODY AND THE UNIoN.--In an address
at the Peabody Institute Baltimore, a few days
ago, Mr.. George Peabody said
And here may well refer toa subject which
though of a personal nature, has its bearings on
what have said. have been told several times
that have been accused Of want of devotion to
the Union; and l take this occasion to place my
self right, for have not word of apology, not
a word Of retraction to utter fellow citizens The
Union of the States of America was one of the
earliest objects Of my childhood's reverence for
the independence of our country my father bore
arms in some of the darkest days of the revolu-
ton and from his example l learned to love
and honor that Union. Later in lifeI learned
more fully its inestimable worth, perhaps more
fully than most have done for, born and educa-
ted at the North, then living for nearly twenty
years at the South. !; and thus learning in the
best school the character aud life Of her people
finally, in the course of a long residence abroad
being thrown in intimate contact with indiyidu-
ais of every section of our glorious land, | come
as do Americans who live long in foreign lands,
to love our country as a whole to know and
take pride in all her sons as equally countrymen;
to know no North, no South, no East, no West
and so | wish publically to avow that during
the terrible contest through which our nation has
passed, my sympathes are still and always were
with the Union-that my uniform course tended
to assist but never to injure, and the credit of

the war three-fourths Of all the property posses

The Raduction of Che Public neht.


The Reduction of the Public Debt.
At the close Of the war there were those who
said that the American people had not only tax
ed the industry Of the present generation with
the great debt which was contracted to put
down the shareholders rebellion, but that a
mortgage had been taken on the productive en-
ergies Of the country for generations to come
Those who talked of paying off the debt, princi-
pal and interest," in twenty-five or thirty years,
were looked upon little better or wiser than Jay
Cooke, who termed it " national blessing."-
The amazing reduction which has already been
made in the sum total shows that even those who
were the most sanguine miscalcuted the wonder
full recuperative power of the American people
On the first of October, 1865, the official state
ment Of the public debt was $2,744, s47, 72e. On
the FIRST Of October, 1866, it is So, 573 337 941,
showing decrease during the year f$l7l $40, 1856.
fifteen gears. AS the industry of the country is
more generally resumed, the figures show that
the decrease in the debt becomes larger. Thus,
during the last six months we have the extraor-
binary aggregate decrease of 1882, 3O9 SIS, while
the six months previous it only $50, 3Ol ,2lo.
Judging from this we may safely infer that the
rate of reduction will continue to increase each
month, and it is difficult to predict exactly how
much of the debt will be liquidated year hence.
The commercial and industrial condition of
the country is far from what it will be when the
work of restoration is completed and the chan
nels of domestic trade thoroughly opened up
Our internal revenue system, which has been
gradually improving, can scarcely be said to
yield the sum which the taxation imposed by
Congress would justify US TO expect. Owing to
the PROSTATE condition of the South comparative
ly little in the shape of taxes has been obtained
from that section When the plan of reconstruc-
ton submitted by Congress is adopted in place
of that of Andrew Jonson, the South will resume
her wonted prosperity and pay her full share Of
the general taxation. This, in connection with
the steady increase and prosperity of the North
ern States as well as the growth of our foreign
commerce. will add materially to the national
income. The question as to whether the Ameri-
can people can bear heavy taxation without de-
triment to their industry is no longer discussed
except by defeated and disaffected Copperheads
The figures show that we can pay the current
expenses of the Government, the interest on the
public debt, and at the same time decrease the
principal 1t would be utter folly to attribute
this marvellous achievement to the Secretary of
the Treasury or any other official of the Govern
ment. 1t was the people who contracted the
debt, who have sustained it and who will see
that it is paid, interest and principal TO the last
dollar. 3f1U So lt1sftas

We have lost, Our county and State have
gone against US. The Rebels have succeeded in
carrying both branches of the Legislature, and
will elect Copperhead, probably Tom Swami,
to succeed our present able representative, the
Hon. John A. ]. Creswell. We lose one Con-
gresham, the Hon. John L. Thomas, Of the I'd
District, having been defeated by Stevenson
Archer, bis Copperhead competitor. The Rebel
party viii now control our State, and the people
will have chance to see whether they will bet
ter conduct its affairs than has the Union party
during the last Eve years.
It is not worth while 10 speculate now upon
the causes that have produced this result
Against the intention of the laws of our State,
the ballot-box has been opened to every Rebel
and Rebel sympathizer in our State, and we are
out-voted. The majority is against US, and we
bow to the popular verdict, and must apply our
selves vigorously to the task of remedying the
disaster that has befallen US. We have been de-
feated in good cause, one for which il is an
honor to contend, and which must finally tri-
umph. We have no intention of giving up the
contest Let us all take it up with renewed
spirit, with fortitude that forbids discourage
meut. and determination which shall know no
end but triumph We must reorganize our
forces avoid the errors of the past, and trusting
to the spirit of truth, progress and justice, fight
on, fight ever, until we gain a lasting and en-
during triumph.
We have lost Maryland, but from other States
there come cheering notes of victory. New York
has elected the Union candidate for Governor,
and two-thirds of her Congressman are oppo-
Ilents of g My Policy" Massachusetts has rolled
up the unprecedented majority of seventy-fve
thousand for the Union cause, electing an entire
Union delegation to Congress. In New Jersey
we have made large inroads upon the Democrat
ic vote, securing the Legislature, which elects
United States Senator, and gaining two Con-
gressmen In Wisconsin we have made heavy
gains, securing the Legislature, United States
Senator in place Of Johnson's pet, Doolittle, and
re-electing FIVE out of the six Congressman. In
Missouri, we seem to have swept the State,
eIecting everything. Delaware has, as usual
gone against US.
The next Congress will be very largely Union.
The people have rebuked My Policy " in thun-
der tones and the interests of the country are
safe in the hands of the Uniop party. Again we
say to the people of Maryland, let US take cour-
age. We are defeated, but let us not be dismayed.
Our cause is right, and must triumph.

AN INCIDENT. The power Of interest over pri,,-
ciple in controlling mems actions was clearly
exempli6ed by an incident that occurred in this
town on Tuesday night A number of the sup
porters Of g My Policy y had congregated at one
of our hotels to rejoice over their success, when
one of the party said they the Union men had
robbed him of his negroes Another gentlemen

SCARCITY OF LABOR IN THE WEsT.-Many of the

of labor in that section, and day or two ago

ceive So a day, stone cutters and masons 81 U.s.
plasters 81 so carpenters and painters So, so !;
yet even these prices do not attract working men
to the West. It is argued that lahoring people
can save more money in the Eastern cities, owing
to the much higher prices of the necesares Of life
prevalent on the Atlantic seaboard.
