The Herald 8 Washington special
says |: General Grant has at last, most
probably per instructions from the
President, taken UP thesgMexican
matter in earnest, and will attend to
it with zealoesness, so far as he can
be concerned. On Saturday, morning
he invited Senior Romero to q eonfr
Dental interview at his headquarters,
which meeting took place and lasted
for some time. After Senior Romero's'
departures there was a staff-meeting.
What epppeeti0n this may or may not
have had with Mexican business,
| can not say. There is no
reason to believe that the Mexican
question has been sre-openeda with
France, but that it remains just where
the last published note from Drouyn
De L'Huys TO Mr.. Hays placed 1t.
The Government is waiting to see how.
the French act up to the coming year.
If at that time il is seen there is any
bad faith exhibited, or tendency TO
duplicity, then such action will be
forcibly recommended as will insure
our feelings and interests to be re-
spected 0h QEfsf4 ksl4 HliE 40 jlt
