Special Correspondence Of the Crescentsl !
New YORK, Oct 80, 1865.
The Mexican matter excites considerable atten-
ton here and further developments are looked
for anxiously, especially as our government has
recognized the Juarez administration while Gen.
ortega claims the presidential chair of the re-
public.
The late Fenian troubles have become the sub
eot of general interest since the condemnation to
death of McMahon and Lynch, By far the ma
iority of people are in sympathy with the efforts
of the United Estates government to prevent the
| execution of these men. The letter of Mr.. Seward
/ to the British minister is looked upon as most
cordial and considerate document, expressing in
/ firm language the intention of the United States
/ to protect her citizens. 1t is the general feeling
throughout the North that these men have been
uniustly sentenced to DEATH and particularly so,
as onewas acting as chaplain and the other merely
4 a news reporter. Certainly the Canadian gov
eminent cannot be so blind to its own interests as
to execute them.
The prospects of Hoffman in this State are look
ing brighter. Even bets are freely made, no odds
having been given for several days past. The
fifth Congressional district citizens held mass
meeting last evening il opposition to tie election
of John Morrissey, claiming that he is not only
nonresident of the district, but an unfit person,
from his past and present life, to represent them
e in Congress.
T Mr. Hoffman was called home from his election
