The MEXICAN IMBRoGLlo.-It seems from
the correspondence, between our Govern
ment and France, on the Mexican question,
which correspondence was recently laid be-
fore Congress, that an arrangement has been
concluded by which all the French troops
are TO be Withdrawn from Mexico by Novem-
Der, 1867. Our Government while declining
to recognize the Government of Maximilian,
consents to remain neutral as between the
Imperialsts and Republicans, leaving the
contest to be decided by the parties them
selves.
While this arrangement relieves the Uni
ted States from the chances Of war about
Mexican affairs, for the present, it leaves
that unfortunate country to the distraction:
that has marked its history for the last forty
years.

A CUTE CHINESE THIEF.-One day last
week, while a company Of Celestial "sports"
were gambling in house in Chinatown, an
almond eyed John dashed into the house
shouting "fre"-a cry that has peculiar ter.
ror to these people after their repeated un'
fortunate experience here-and Instantly the
house was cleared Of its inmates, who left
their money, about twenty-five dollars, on the
table. No sooner had the gamblers lef! the
house, than the fellow who gave the alarm,
swept the table of the money, and made bis
way out back door. The gamblers soon
finding they had been frightened by false
alarm, returned to the table, to find their
money gone. They saw through the dodge
at once, and instituted rigid search for the
thief, but be had escaped to the bills, aud up

This is the sharpest piece of roguery that

Eg- A week ago the U. S. Senate threat
ened to expel McDougal for supplementary
language. Mac apologized, and perhaps
saved himself. Sumner has now presented
a petition for the expulsion of Davis, of Ken.
tucky, for alleged d's|oyal language. The
petition has been referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
1t is possible for Congress to become a
mere Revolutionary Cabal, and the action of

"lS Con WE Trust" This inscription is
to be placed upon the United States coinage
in future, and the different mints are being
supplied with the necessary dies. The idea
is borrowed from the Mormons, who, in 40
and so minted the gold obtained by them
from California, and placed upon their coin
the words 'Holness to the Lord" Quite
an amount of this money was in circulation
here in early days. and people laughed at
such an odd way of disseminating religious
belief. The motto Of our new coinage will
hardly be received with any more reverence.
When Thirsty Bill passes his dime over the
counter for square drink, the publican will
not accept the faith in Divinity expressed
upon the face of the coin, as his compensa'
ton. lie will assure himself of the true ring
Of the metal.
