Mexico MAMMALIAN news Of the
departure Of Macmillan Tor the capital, is
confirmed. He.left, professedy for Orizaba,
in order to be near Vera Cruz upon the arrival
of the steamer. Adonis, with later intelligence
from the Empress. Before leaving, he APP
pointed Marshal Bazaine temporary regent,
and gave orders to his ministers to confer with
him upon public matters. The appointment
and orders were Informal and oral, the En-,
peror declining to issue proclamation or to
make the appointment in writing, lest it should
be construed into an abdlcation-an act which
he says he does not contemplate: The En-
peror treated his ministers and the Ayunta-
miento, or City Council, very cavaleriy, not
consulting with either body upon so important
a suhject, and merely sending his ministers a
verbal message Of his intended departure. -
Upon learning the appointment of Marshal
Bazane as regent, the, entire ministry at once
returned their portfolios, as they are personally
hostile to him. The Marshal has not yet &C
copied their resignation, but holds them in
allegiance for the present. AS soon as success
sors can be decided upon the present minist ~
will be at once relieved.

''In this connection We consider it TO be our

them most solemnly against the great abuses,
which have sprung up i'll the matter of fairs,

Discovery OF THE MURDERER OF THE
JOYCE CHILpRES.-The Boston Herald, OF
March 9th, has a long account Of the dis.
covery Of the murderer Of the two children,
Isabel n. and John S. Joyce, in Bussy's
woods, West Roxbury. on the 18th Of
June, 1866. He was found to be a con-
Wet in the State Prison, who had been
sent there for a burglary committed In
Worcester county shortly after the muir.
der. His strange conduct when arrested
led the officers to think he was q hardened
criminal, and his subsequent boastings OF
large deeds performed by himself, together
with some Of his unguarded expressions,
gave the clue, which, being followed by
W Worcester county officers. has fasten-
ed the murder alluded to almost undeni.
ably upon himself. His partial confession,
with the corroborative evidence obtained,
leave no doubt in the minds Of the officers
Of his guilt. His sou5riguet is "Scratch
Gravel" His name is Ron. Dodge. He
is a native Of Massachusetts, but has been
a rover for fourteen years. being now
twenty-seven years Of age. He confesses
to having hunted Indians in Florida, that
he was sent to prison for life for murder in
South Carolina, was ~pardoned. entered
the rebel army, was captured on Morgan's
raid into Ohio and Indiana, paroled, after
ward enlisted in q Massachusetts regiment,
deserted, joined the navy, and served on
several gunboats. .H.

TIVE CANADIAN CoSPEpERArIoS.-The
confederation Of the British North American
Provinces has long been a favorits project In

" opposed BY Nova Scotia. Newfoundland
and the other maritime provinces. They
feared that their influence might be over.
,h.dowed II confederation were formed and
their extensive commerce with the United
State, might be jsopardissd BY the un'Fiend-
" legislation Of the more powerful Provinces
Of Canada. This opposition to the eoniedet-
alton seems to be wearing away, howeref'
and the Newfoundland Legislature has de-
cided in favor Of the project by a strong ma
jority. The probabilities Of a great conied-
Grafton being formed upon the North OF the
United States are not, therefore, as remote
as they were, and the other maritime provin-
ees may be expected, a. some future day, to
decide In favor Of il, as Newfoundland has
done. II this new nation shall be formed,

dimensions Of the hall will be 1913 feet

There are to be two galleries on the end

hall-all the rest to be clear from Aoor to

all comfortable, and all afordins q clear

space Of the hall will afford standing room
for 500 persons more. Very careful atten-
ton has been given in the plans to acous-

for concerts most often prove defective. A
matter nc, less important to comfort is
ventilation, which also will be thoroughly
accomplished. It will be possible. in this

One AGAINST THE PHorLB.-Tho Gov.
ernor prays GOOD Lord !" GOOD
Devil! !" with extreme impartiality. He
threw . sop to the popular Cerberus by
vesoing the bills granting aid to interior
railroads, and made q bid for the support
Of railroad men by signing the bill to in
crease street railroad fares-a measure a
thousand times more oppressive to the
people than the ones he vetoed. He
pleases about two.thirds of the outside
land claimants by vetoinR the Outside
Land bill, and objects the act by signing
the Alvord bill, q measure indecently
rushed through the Legislature at the las.
hour, in violation Of all rules, in order to
give 4 wealthy man land because he asked
for it. By signing the Street Railroad
and the Alvord bills, the Governor has
destroyed all the virtue pertaining to his
vetoes-for the bills he signed ara trebly
worse than those he vetoed, will heap
heavier taxes upon the people. and far
more destructive Of public intarests.-
