FROM WASHINGTON.
The Franco Mexican Imbroglio.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. Since the
special meeting of the Cabinet yester-
day afternoon, there has been the great
est interest manifested as to the purpose
of the extraordinary converting OF that
body, and various speculations have
been sent off to the Northern press on
the subject. We are enabled to state
positively that the Cabinet was called to-
cether to consider our foreign relations.
In this connection it may be stated that
it is known that the French Government
has declared its purpose to disregard
the arrangement for the withdrawal OF
the first detachment of the French
troops from Mexico during this month,
as agreed upon between Mr. Seward and
Dro1yn de fHuys, The French Emperor
has notified our Government that he can
not effect the withdrawal of the troops
until next spring, when he proposes to
embark the entire force at once In
view of the failure of Napoleon to COM
ply with his agreement to withdraw a
portion of these troops, and inasmuch as
the notification of this forfeiture OF the
agreement comes at this late day, our
government is not disposed to put full
confidence in the further promises of the
French Emperor. There is reason for
believing that this matter was the imme-
date cause of the Cabinet meeting yes
terday. To-day the subject was again
considered in the regular session, Gene
raj Grant being present by request Of the
President 1t is intimated in official
circles that instructions have been sent
to our Minister in France to demand the
immediate withdrawal of the French
troops from Mexico.
WASHINGTON, Nov 25.-As far as can
be ascertained, instructions to Minister
Dix have but little reference to Mexican
affairs, our government relying upon Ma
poleon's promise to withdraw his troops
from Mexico. The rumor that Napoleon
had notified the Washington cabinet OF
the postponement of withdrawal until
spring is untrue.
Our relations with Mexico are less
complicated than late dispatches from
this city would indicate.
Minister Campbell has no instructions
whatever touching tripartite treaty, nor
is France or French interests to be con-
sidered by him in any way. Neither is
any cession Of Mexican territory con-
templated by our Government, but the
central party is to be supported, if neces-
sary, by military force.
The mission of General Sherman is
simply to view the military situation OF
affairs in Mexico, and add his assurances
that our Government will sustain the
constitutional party. 1t is confidently
believed that such representations will
be sufficient 70 check all revolutionary
plots, and secure stability to the Juarez

A GREAT EVIL.

Among many things the Southern
people cannot do, there are many which
they can. They can hold fast to their
traditions, their modes of thought, and
their general independence of mind.
Nothing threatens these so much as the
insidious literature of the North, now
literally floating through the air, from
Washington to the Rio Grande. The
monthlies and weeklies of New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, are sent South
by the hundred thousand, and penetrate
every corner of the land. They are
bought and read and re-read by the
masses, to the exclusion of everything
else. This literature is sectional, in
sidious and poisonous to the eager mind.
The stories are mostly located in the
North. They describe Northern charac-
ter, paint Northern scenery, inculcate
Northern ideas and teach the lesson that
the Southern people are wicked, rude,
uncultivated, and unfit for civil liberty.
This poison in uncounted rills, flows un-
ceasingly into the Southern mind. A
Northern belle is the perfection Of all
womanhood. A Northern hero is the
type of all manly excellence. Northern
society is the most refined, the most re-
ligious, and, generally, " the best in the
world" The people who inhabit our
section, are treated as simply so much
white trash, fit only to buy
and consume Northern wares, and pay
the expenses created by the revels of
a triumphant section. Shall these things
be2 They already are. Shall we make
no effort to think for ourselves, write for
ourselves and publish for ourselves?
Have we not among our women subjects
for the novelist's pen, for the poets
verse? Where are those who stood by
the South in the war-those upon whose
soft white brows no pallor came, though
thew stood in the midst of the hail Of
lead with their delicate feet wet with the
blood of their brothers,? Where are the
men who, outnumbered, and half naked,
and hungry, rolled back four times their
number and won great victories 7 Must

from poetry, because they lostY How

into the city, and, thus reinforced, the
GARRISON kept up the Fighting for several
weeks, repelling the attacks nearly eve
nv day. Diaz fought his way through
the city, and obtained possession OF the
place, but for some days was unable TO
make any impression upon the forts OF
ST. Domingo and Elcorton until the 3lst
nit. when he forced the enemy to sur
render. The number of prisoners is be-
tween two thousand and three thousand,
and. the convention is signed, on the
part of the Imperialists, among others,
by Baron Enrique, Egero, and Count
Alberto de Karmen. A large supply
of military stores, arms, ammunition,
and several batteries of artillery were
among the prizes captured. The Aus
TRANS fought we'll, but finally surren-
dered to superior numbers. This victory
secures the peace of the whole country
south of Puebla, and gives the Liberals
a large, we'll organized, and admirably
equipped force with which to operate in
this valley and upon the Vera Cruz line
It also places Puebla in danger, and, I'M
less the French prove themselves to be
more active than formerly, the commu-
nication with the coast will be cut OIL
and can be re-establisoed only at a great
cost of lives.

New ORLEANS, Nov. PA dispatch
Just received from Blake's Bulletin, at
Galveston, announces that the Union
General Sedgewick crossed Rio Grande
on Thursday last, with brigade of
United States troops, and occupied Mat
amoros, assuming that he did so to pro-
tect the interests of Americans resident
in that town. The movement creates
great excitement as it is not known
whether this is done or not with the
sanction of the Government.
New YORK, November 27.-Important
advices have been received from London,
dated yesterday evening, to the effect
that the rebellion in Ireland has COM
menced. Dispatches are being hourly
received by the cable substantiating the
previous one, and establishing beyond a
doubt that the great crisis has arrived.
The following is one of the dispatches
referred to-:
LONDON, November u, IL m.-The
Fenian troubles in Ireland have assumed
considerable proportions, and there is no
doubt that serious outbreak has &C.
Cured. Two regiments of national
troops were urgently ordered to Ireland
yesterday afternoon, and transports were
being prepared all last night at Ports
mouth. A large detachment of marines
were to be sent over to Queenstown on
the war steamer Plymouth.

JACoBIN LEGISLATION.

Under date of the oath, this is dis
matched from Nashville:
A bill to define the qualifications of
Jurors has passed both branches OF the
LEGISLATURE, taking effect from and after
its passage. The bill provides that in
all trials, civil or criminal, in any courts
of Tennessee, it shall be good ground Of
challenge for cause as to competency of
any Juror that such person is not qual-
fled voter of this State The bill also
proyides that those guilty Of the crime Of
rape, as now defined by Tennessee stat
utes, shall suffer death by hanging, but
The Jury may commute the punishment
10 Imprisonment for not less than ten
nor more than twenty years.
We are not much of lawyer" but
this bill is not, we think, in accordance
with republican policy, and is, therefore,
a violation of the intention Of the Con-
stitution. We have been accustomed TO
think that q man must be tried by his
peers. At least this is the old Common
Law doctrine 1t is the complaint Of
abolitionism that the negro, so long
as he is denied all the privileges
possessed by white men, is not
their equal. Equality, they tell us,
springs first from Nature, and second,
from human legislation. Human legis-
lation has declined to give the negro
population the privileges of white men.
1t results thus that the two races are po-
litically unequal. Now 1t SO happens
that after a long and bloody war to erect
into fact the idea Of the equality Of all
men before the lac, the legislation Of
Tennessee draws line Of distinction be-
tween the white population themselves.
1t divides them into classes. A man
who does not possess a voting certificate,
NAV be challenged and excluded frsm
the Jury. he is not allowed TO SIT on the
trial of another non-voter, his peer. he
may be tried by q class not his
peers, but by superiors who hare the
RIGHT to vote. The disfranchisement aci
had already created a superior class.
This jury act dresses and cOnsolidates it.
Both strike at the Southern soldier and
those who have sympathized with the
cause in which he fought he cannot
vote, nor sit upon a jury if challenged.
How long are We TO be the playing.
