NEW PHASE OF THE MEXICAN
QUESTION.

General Sheridan's dispatch to General
Sedewick spikes the guns Of somewhat
numerous band Of spectators in Mexican
ruip. Santa Anna, Ortega, Almonte, Escobe-
do Ruiz, and other distinguished patriots Of
the same stripe, who wish to build up their
nersopal fortunes on the ruin Of Maximilian,
are warned off by Sheridan, who declares,
no doubt by official authority, that the
United States recognize only Juarez as the
lawful head of the liberal government in
Mexico.
A Paris correspondent in morning jour
nal suggests that Napoleon, while suffering
Maximilian to leave Mexico, will himself at
tempt to hold, by French force, the ports OF
Vera Cruz, Tampico, Mazatlan, and others,
there to collect the revenue on imports, and
devote it to the payment Of his fraudulent
claims against Mexico. This presents new
complication-but one easy enough to solve.
No doubt, il Napolean should do this, Presi.
dent Juarez and the Mexican Congress would
declare all Mexican ports open to the free
entry Of goods. In that case Napoleon
would have to deal with the foreign impor-
tiers, whom he dares not rob. He may, to
be sure, blockade the Mexican ports-but it
will cost him more than he is likely to get
for it.
Napoleon is extremely desirous to get his
money back, but he is not likely to achieve
his wish. He made very foolish invest
ment, and has lost, as he deserved. If he is
wise, he will pocket his first loss, and moi
send more money after it.-N 7. Evening
Post.
Our Government recognizes the liberal
government of Mexico, and none other AT
present JUAREz is the only recognized head
of that Government. But nevertheless it is
true that upon investigations made by the
Committee on Foreign Affairs Of the United
States House Of Representatives, the legal
claims of ORrEGA to the presidency Of the
liberal party appeared quite clear But that
is question for the people of Mexico to
settle for themselves hereafter. 1t is the
duty of our Government to recognize the
man who is the present active head Of the
liberal party, and JUAREz is clearly that man
