The Argentine Central Railroad is laying track

pampas towords Cordoba, from Rosario.
At this date money is easy. Banks allow five

The Chilian and Mexican Questions
Doings of the Fenians, Etc.
Has Chilli Been Sold out by England

Has Chilli BeeD Sold Cut by England
From the London Euening Standard December 10.
The Times announces that the Spanish Govern
ment has accepted the mediation OF England and
France in her dispute with the republic of Chill.
SO far there is cause Tor general satisfaction. No
one can desire the proloIgatlon of hostilities
that are serious interruption to branch of
British commerce, and which are iraught with
rum to Chill, and cannot enhance the military
position of Spain. We fear, however, judging
Government has not gained diplomatic tri-
umph, and that the good offices of England and
France have been accepted through our Govern
ment agreeing to forsake the cause of Chill.
After for some time past cOndemning Spain
without stint, and praisin@ the conduct of Chill
as immaculate, our contemporary is now forced
to confess that nation less Spanish in its
temperament than the Chilians might even at this
juncture (Parela) have found pacific solution OF
the difficulty. That she obstinately refused
to make the first advance" What are we to
infer from this? Have the medators preiudiced
the case? Is there an honorable understanding
that the British Government is TO say to the
Chilans that they are wrong, and that they
must swallow the Spanish leek? If so, 1t is
likely enough that Chill will have to submit
unless she is supported by the Government of
the United States, not at this time very proba-
BILE contingency.
We do not here give any opinion upon the
merits of the dispute, but if the Times, not very
well informed lately about the policy of the
Government, has, on this occasion, been favored
with true and certain information, we must ex-
press our sincere regret that the Government
should again have to recede from strongly
avowed policy. A Temonstrance is sent to
Madrid, and the reply is Mind your own busi-
ness" Then comes in the diplomacy of France,
and Spain is wiling to submit to arbitration,
but if the Times article is nspired," )" not before
the English Government has eaten its big words
and pleaded guilty forts client. This affair will
be closely scanned by the people of the United
States and viii produce very unfavorable i'm.
preston.
In the interests of peace we cannot afford it to
be supposed that even when Spain treats us with
contempt and sets at naught our remonstrances
we not only bow to the rebuke, but kiss the rod.
1t may be that the Times is not correctly in
formed, and that our Government has agreed to
act as one of the mediators, without giving any
pledge to force Chill to consent to the demands
of Spain. The circumstances, however, are sus-
picious, and we are sorry that Parliament is not
sitting .....

DISMISSAL OF THE GOVERNOR OF RICHMOND BRIDE
WELL.

WELL.
Dublin dec. l9) CORE spondence of London Times.
The various parties that shared among them
the responsibility of taking care of the political
prisoners in Richmond Brldewell, have been
bandying accusations and throwing the blame
upon one another; but, with all these inquiries,
explanations, and recriminations, they have
hitherto failed to clear up the mystery of
Stephens ''release."
The Board of Superintendent protest against
being held accountable TOR that event, alleging
that Government took the responsibility upon
itself, and they demanded an inquiry into the
whole matter by an Independent commissioner.
The answer they received was that the Govern
ment had made the inquiry through the proper
functionaries, the Inspectors-General OF Prisons,
and that in consequence of their report the
governor of the Jail is dismissed, and the ap
pointment of the interior officers taken out of
the hands of the Board.
STRANGE THEORY ABOUT STEPHENS.
From he LUerpool COWrier, December l9
A curious theory is held by some persons re-
specting Stephens. the Fenian leader. 1t is sug-
gested that he has been lately a spy in the en-
ploy of the Government, and that he was appre-
hended by mistake. Having been taken, how
ever, it was absolutely necessary to keep up ap-
pearances by sending him to Jail, since he was
well known to have taken part with the sedtious
party In days gone by. When imprisoned all
necessary facilities were given him, and thus he
MADE what isicaled his mysterious escape"
Ihls IS, OF course, only theory, but 1t is to
some extent supported by the fact that the Lord
Lieutenant has refused TO appoint commission
