THE IEHUANTEPEC RoUTE.-In another column
will be found letter from Mr.. L. Z. Hargous
con radicting the statement made by one of
our correspondents, that recent decree issued
by President Juarez had annulled the rights
acquired by the Louisiana and Tehuantepec
Company under the DEGREES Of the Mexican
government Of September, 1857, and March,
1859 The ground on which the concession in
favor OF new company was stated to have
been made was that the old company had for
feited It's rights by not proceeding with the
railroad. Mr.. Hargous shows that there could
have been no such forfeiture, inasmuch as,
under another decree of October, 1860, issued by
Juarez himself, the old company were allowed
period OF seven years from April, 1862, for
the construction OF the road, and that it is
therein expressly declared that the time dur
ing which the works might be prevented, by
civil war or other controlling causes, should
not be included in this term Of seven years.
The invasion Of the country by the French and
the continuance ever since Of hostilites, Of
course furnished, under this latter clause, suf.
fcient legal justification for the company's not
proceeding with the work. Under no pretext
Of this kind, therefore, could their rights be
voided. That they were even regarded as valid
by the Emperor Macmillan we have evidence
In the decree issued by him ratifying them
The explanation given Of the motive OF this
strange proceeding on the part Of the Juarex
government 10 anything but creditable TO those
concerned in II II appears that short time
since person named Lausntris, clerk under
Mr.. Seward, In the State Department, went to
Mexico and got from President Juarez, for the
new company, fresh grant Of the route. The
consideration for this act Of bad faith was q
cash payment Of 100000, the $4,000 OBJ
tained from General Butler and his associates
for the Lower California concession being, II
seems, exhausted, and the liberals dreadiully
In want Of funds. Thus the parties in this
Mexican business appear to be trying to cheat
each other al round. Napoleon set the ex-
ample In the Jecker job and his tricking Of
Macmillan, and now Juarez Is initiating him
by going back on his own acts and violating
privileges that be had himself conceded.
Whatever interests individuals In the State
Department may have In such proceedings, It
IL hardly possible thai our government will
permit the rights OF lie citizens to he thus
shamcfully trinsd with.

abandon the country 90 precipitately - he had
at first intended. We give elsewhere an ac-
count from one Of our correspondents which
renders this rumor highly probable, and attri-

the remonstrances Of Marshal Baxaine, who
seems 70 desire that the empire founded by

and die with dignity.
Mexican matters are Of sufficient interest
generally, but the press at large seems scarcely
to know what IT should say about the mission
70 Mexico and to be almost afraid to touch Il.
Forney has observed that the HSRALp is the
only journal which says anything about 1t;
and that Is natural enough, since the HERALD Ia
the only paper that is we'll informed on topics
Of national Importance. Perhaps, however,
If Forney had good big share in Ben
Buffers Southern California job he would
know . great deal about it. Different men
have their eyes opened in different ways, and
that is Foney's way. Much discussion is ex-
cited by the appointment of Mr.. Campbell
to the difficult position Of plenipotentiary
in this case, and II is freely declared
In some quarters that be is in now Use
equal to a satisfactory discharge Of his
duties We can judge better Of that when we
know the result Of his mission. In the mean
time 1t IL comfortable to reflect that he is well
sandwiched with General Sherman on the one
hand, whose achievements afix a national
value to bis name, and with Mr.. Plumb, the
secretary Of the commission, on the other--a
gentleman known to be peculiarly familiar
with Mexico and her people and history.
The commission, while II will treat with
Juarez and the imperalists at once. will deter
mine nothing. but will report all proposals to
Washington for the consideration Of the Presi-
dent. Every suggestion made will therefore
be deliberately weighed at the national capital,
and perhaps In Cabinet council. This Is wise;
for as this mission Is certainly one OF the very
first Importance, both with respect to our
relations with our neighbors on this continent
and In regard to our relations with European
Powers. 1t is proper that the nation should no.
be hastily or precipitately committed to any
definite line Of policy.

The Harrisburg Patriot and linton makes
GRARY's majority for Governor only 1880,
on poll of over 100000 votes. The Anti
JacObins are supposed to have polled 100000
and the Jacoblns $4,000. This is close
running, and indicates that the old Key
stone State Is kept with the Radical faction
by only the strength of hair. As to the
way In which somo If Jacobin Congress
men were chosen, the Patriot thus speaks :
"An article In another column, from the
Philadelphia Neios, shows unmistakably
that Philadelphia has not indorsed the
Rump nominees. Had il not been that
voters were drawn from some Congressional
districts Of the city and added to others,
Kelley, Myers and 0'Neill would have been
wofnlly defeated. AS 1t is, they were con
demned by very considerably decreased
majoritles. So many disunion votes had
been drawn from the First District that the
majority for Randall, Democrat, Is more
than doubled. The votes thus drawn away
were distributed In the Second, Third ant
Fourth Districts to prevent the defeat o
those egro-suhrageites. The article IL
question exposes the immense frauds
which were required To elect the dlsunior
Rumpors."
