ImpOrtant from Mexico,

New YORK, March GA special dispatch 10
the World, dated San Francisco 9TH instant,
saws that n crisis in Mexican affairs is immi-
nent-so near, and approaching so fast, that
the United States may be called upon to act
at any moment in behalf of the rights and
lives of it's own citizens.
The French troops in the northern and west
ern Mexican States have been driven igno-
miniously to the coast and are hemmed in in
q few port towns, from whence they are liable
to be driven on board their vessels of-war for
safety
Mazatlan is besieged, its streets barricaded,
and the Liberals, under Cortenas, are pressing
close upon it's rear.
Fighting has occurred in which the Liberals,
aided by Americans who recently enlisted, had
been victorious.
The antipathy of the French and the Impe-
rial Mexicans to the Americans is increasing
There are instances of Americans having been
thrown causelessly into prison. Threats OF
the indiscriminate slaughter of Americans are
boldly made by the Mexican and Imperial
authorities of certain towns. 1t is necessary
that war vessels should be dispatched by the
United States to prevent trouble and de-
mand a decent respect for the United States
flag and citizens.

The virginia Historical, Society.

This Society, which, ut the commencement
of the late war, had n fine ard well-seiected
library, and was located ut tie Mechanlcs
Institute, continued in existence during the
whole four years of our memorable contest !;
and in lending their assistance to those who,
by their absence from home or want OF means,
were precluded from finding means OF rational
Intellectual amusement, they did their part in
cultiyating the minds of the people. At the
time of the evacuation, the library OF the
Society was in the custom house building,
but, in the first troublous days of reconstruc-
ton, the books were uncerelroRiously ordered
out In order TO save the books from loss,
DR.. &. G. BARNEY took them in charge and
removed them to his house, where they have
been well aud carefully preserved
Many of our citizens have been under the
impression that the whole library OF the
Society was destroyed In the ire OF April s.
1885, and 1t will be pleasant intelligence TO
them TO learn that four thousand or hve thou
sand volumes still remain, besides some yalua-
BILE historical portraits, including those OF

wAsgrsaroN, March 6.-SESATB.-The Sc
nate was engaged in the further discussion of
the constitutional amendment.
| HoUsK.-A report was made from the Re-
construction Committed, embracing yolumi-
nous testimony of the witnesses testifying as
to the presumed disloyaltY OF the majority
of the people OF the South.
Generals Thomas and Grierson say they
have received intelligence of conspiracy 10
oppose the Government and encourage q
foreign war, in the hope Of joining the ene-
mics Of the country In order to secure South
ern independence.
Charles II. Lewis, Secretary of the Common.
wealth of Virginia under Governor Peirpoint,
said his decided impression in regard to affairs
in that State is, that the masses of the people
and by that term he did not mean only the
laboring classes, but all those persons who are
not poiiticians-were very favorably disposed
towards the Government of the United States.
1t is believed that very decided efforts have
been made by politicians TO change that feel
ing since that time, and he was afraid they
had met with great deal Of success and he
believed the majority of the people would still
be loyal if it were not for the publishers
of the papers and the politicians, who, to
u CcI cAIChJS IOnbAO puDilS OphAAOh' lac
believed that many of the old politicians are
engaged in promoting dissatisfaction with
the Government. In reply to n question,
whether he had any reason to apprehend that
schemes are cherished by any of the late
rebels in Virginia for renewal of the war, or
for the establishment of what is known as
Southern independence" he said that he
had no reason to believe that there is any such
organization in that State, but, from the con-
versation of some of the most outspoken of the
secessionists of the State, he was inclined TO
think that greatmany of them would be very
glad to see the country involved in a foreign
war, in the hope that they would get up
secession party in the South. He said he dis
trusted the professions of loyalty made by the
politicians, but he believed. that the mass of
the people had too much good sense to go out
of the Union again if they could helpi it.
The House passed the Army Appropriation
bill and the Military Academy bill, with an
amendment to the latter providing that no
cadet from the South appointed since Janu-
airy lst, 1866, shall receive any pay.

Pennsylvania Democratic Nominating Con.
YenfiOn.

HARRISBURG, March 1.-The Democratic
State Convention met this afternoon. The
Convention nominated Hon. III. Climer for
Governor on the fourth ballot, and afterwards
passed resolutions sustaining the Senators and
Representatives of Pennsylvania in Congress
who have supported the Presidents recon-
struction policy
The Convention reassembled at O'Clock,
when resolutions were unanimously adopted
declaring the immediate restoration of the
Union TO he paramount to all other issues; that
the States whereof the people were lately in re-
bellion are integral parts of the Union, entitled
to representation in Congress by men duly
elected, who bear true faith to the Constitution
and the laws and in order to yindicate the
maxim that taxation without representation Is
tyranny, such representatives should be forth
with admitted; that the faith OF the Republic
is pledged to the payment of The national debt,
and Congress should pass all laws necessary
for that purpose; that we owe obedience to
The Constitution of the United States, includ-
ing the amendment prohibiting slavery, ana
under it's provision will accord TO those emanci-
pated all their rights of person and property !;
that each State has exclusive right to regulate
the qualification of it's own citizens; that the
white race alone is entitled TO the control OF
the government of the Republic, and we are
unwilling to grant to negroes the right 10
vote: and that the bold enunciation OF the
principles of the Constitution and the policy
of restoration contained in the recent annual
and the veto message of President johnson,
entitle him to the confidence and support OF
all who respect the Constitution and love their
