Mexican Affairs.

PARIS, August 4-Correspondence to the
London Times says: l have more precise
information as to the object of Empress
CARLoTTAs visit to Paris. 1t is to obtain
a release for the present from the obligation
of paying what is due to France out of the
proceeds of the Mexican custOm-houses.
The invasions of insurgent bands has greatly
reduced their proceeds, which are now con-
fined to the port of Vera Cruz.
The Mexican Government require, even
with the strictest economy, Sc, 000,0 900 piSs-
tiers monthly of indispensable expenses, and
for some time past it has not been in receipt
of more than two-ffths of that sum from
the customs The financial condition of the
Mexican Government is thus reduced to the
lowest ebb, and it is to seek relief from its
generous creditors that Her Majesty has
braved the dangers of pestilence and of the
ocean.
The Paris correspondent of the Indepen-
dence Beige adds: The concessions which
she asks Of NAPOLEON are, first, prolonga-
ton of the French troops stay in Mexico.
Second, the recall of Marshall BAzAINE.
Third. an extension of time for the pay
ment due by the Empire to France, which
payment fails due next January. CAR
LorTA asks the recall of the French troops
be put off until April, 1867, and that Ma
PoIEoN furnish certain number Of French
officers to organize the new Mexican army,
which is to consist Of forty battalions of one
thousand men each, besides the foreign le-
gion, which consists of about ten thousand
troops. She asks also full complement OF
field and line officers for the army Of $4,000
men.
As regards Marshal BAzAINE his EN-
press requested that he be replaced by Gen.
LAUIE, because since the MarshaPs marri-
age he seems to take more interest in home
affairs than in the extirpation of the enc
mics of MAMMALIAN. The loss Of Mata-
moras is attributed to lack of energy in
his General. Moreover, the Marshal is very
autocratic in his conduct so much so as TO
have once so offended the Emperor by curt
reply as to have made the latter threaten to
abdicate if BAzAINE would not make the
aaende honorable. This was made by the
French commander, at the request Of NJ.
DANo, the French Ambassador in Mexico.

Cholera Reports.

New York, August 2S.--There were FIVE
new cases of cholera, and five deaths from
the same disease, reported yesterday. The
mortuary report Of the past week shows a
decrease since the report of the previous
one. There were two deaths from cholera
at Wards Island, and two in the lunatie
asylum, on Sunday last. No cases of deaf his
had occurred at the other public institu-
tions. Reports from Brooklyn show con-
tinued decrease in the number of cholera
cases. There were 271 deaths in Brooklyn
last week. The indications are that the
cholera will soon entirely disappear from
the city.

Time was when public men, who, by
general course Of venality and baseness, and
a fragrant exhibition Of the vilest features
which human depraviiy is capable Of, had
stamped upon their brows the brand of pub
lie reprobation and scorn, that they shrunk
from the public gaze and buried themselves
in privacy, if, indeed, by selfdestroying
hands, they did not seek more secure asylum
from contempt in the grave itself When
one, however, thus marked, has the brazen
impudenoe to continue to display himself,
it is an evidence that he has touched an
almost incredible depth ofdegradation-
he is a marvel of contemptibility. This is
the thought excited in reading the report of
Buffers speech at Gloucester, Massachu-
sets, on Saturday night; for if there
is a public character in the nation
who, by the common consent Of friend and
foe, is adjudged to have played cold blood
ed, corrupt, and cowardly part in the terri
bic drama Of the past Eve years, that man is
B. F. BUTLER, of Lowell, Massachusetts.
He has been charged with, and stands prov
ed to have committed, nay even, by silence,
has confessed some of the most outrageous
ofenses against honor, personal honesty,
official uprightness, and the common decen-
cies Of life, and no voice has been raised to
defend or palliate. There are tongues and
pens among those with whom he afiliates
politically, that have justified and upheld
many acts which will not bear scrutiny,
but neither tongue nor pen has yet been
found so foul as to defle itself with a de-
Tense of BUTLER. History, ancient and mod
dern, sacred and profane, viii be sought IN
vain for parallel. He stands the confessed
chief of men in high position, who have be-
come utterly dishonored and despised.
And yet he has the afrortary to seek a
seat in Congress, and deliver a speech abu-
sive Of President JOHNSON, and the Phila-
delphia Convention, and the conservative
men of the North and South. If one could
master the contempt which it excites he
would be forced to laugh when BUTLER says:
at is the men who did the fighting who are
to do the settling" Think of i'll the 'bottled
up" hero of Dutch Gap, Fort Fisher and
Big Bethel talking of men who fought, and
threatening that he will march once more,
and bring woe to those who oppose him.
Think of the man who voted fifty times
in the Charleston Convention for
JEFFERSON DAVIS, protesting himself
opposed to the admission of the Southern
States to Congress even with representation
of loyal men. One turns away siekened and
disguised with such vile and selfproclaimed
profigacy, and if none can be found to
excuse it, it is perhaps a more than useless
task TO hold it up to further scorn. When
degree of scoundrelism is attained which
renders them shameless, some natures be-
come ambitious to excel in the character
which has given them notoriety. There are
several such creatures now playing on
the public stage, but BUTLER excels his
rivals in infamy only from the fact he has

THE MAYORALTY.

Our columns yesterday contained the card
of Mayor Brown announcing himself as a
candidate for reelection. The terms in
which he addresses the public are character
istic Of the man-umassuming, but frank,
direct, and to the point. He has been the
Mayor in the municipal year first succeed
ing the transfer of the city government from
military to civil hands, and has labored ear
nestly, faithfully and successfully to repair
the dilapidations. consequent upon the previ-
GUS irregular government, and to restore the
city to the career of prosperity it enjoyed be-
fore the war. He has exhibited qualities as
a firm, prompt, energetic executive officer
which have produced the general impression
that his selection last year was an eminently
judicious and proper one. He has, in addi-
ton to his natural fitness, acquired an expe-
rience in the duties Of his Office, and a
knowledge of the affairs of the city, which
render him now more capable than when
first elected. Upon these grounds, and the
popularity he has acquired from all sorts of
people, he has been induced to present him
self for a second term.
We have no hesitation in indorslng his
qualifications, and pronouncing in favor of
MATT. Brown for Mayor at the ensuing
election. He has discharged his duty
prudently, firmly, and without fear, favor,
affection or Partially. He has been the
vigorous head of the government which
has done more for the improvement Of
the city, and the protection of its inter-
ests, than any which has preceded it. He
has been vigorous in resisting encroach-
ments upon the eity's chartered rights, and
discreet in the manner Of doing it. He has
been rigid in requiring a strict performance
of duty on the part of his subordinates,
while he has carefully guarded the rights and
interests of citizens. In fact, he has proved
himself model officer in every respect, and
we but give expression to the popular voice
when we urge that he shall be reelected
without opposition.

The force is found guilty of nearly all The
murders that we're committed. The evif
dcnee shows that the policemen killed freed
men when they could have arrested hem
without trouble. and that wounded negroes
were thrown in a cart, and killed while
struggling to free themselves from the dead
bodies which had been placed on top Of
them. The Commission viii report that
the riot was caused by bitter feelings on the
part of the residents and police toward the
radical Unionists and freedmen. They will
also probably report it was preconcerted, in
asmuch as in evidence it was talked OF pre-
viously for several days. 1t IS the opinion

appeared at the time it did, the riot would
have progressed to the determination of the
Unionists and freedmen in the city. The

for what he reported in his official dispatches.
