MISUNDERSTANDING the contradic-
tory character of the news from Mexico, E.
nough of the truth is known to make it evil
dent that the Empire is at tn end, and that
Maximilian will be fortunate if he succeeds
in escaping the tolls of the Liberals with a
whole skin. 1t is said, the moment Juarez
occupies the City of Mexico, Minister Camp
bell will be instructed to go thither, and the
recognition Of the Liberals as the constitu-
tional government of Mexico will be contin-
ued, despite the efforts being made at Wash
ington to force the claims of Ortega upon
the notice of the administration.

EURoPE.-Late news by the Atlantic Ca
bic would indicate the adjustment of the
Luxembourg question between Prussia and
France, by the mediation of the other great
powers in Europe. But,whether this effort
will result in a permanent peace, or whet her
it will only have the effect to postpone the
commencement of actual hostllities, remains
to be seen-the latter being most probable.
That Europe is ripe for revolution, ad-
mits of no serious doubt, and it is hard to
conjecture what day may bring forth.
Should the proposed mediation result very
unfavorable to the aspirations, or anticipa-
tions of either Napoleon or Bismark, as a
last resort, the disappointed ruler may raise
the banner of universal freedom and declare
for republic in every kingdom of the Old
World; and then, all the continent would
rock, and bayonets In moment flash from
the Atlantic to the plains of Asia.

SPAIN-It is announced that new re
bellion has broken ont in Spain, but the in
telligence is too indefinite to admit of any
speculations at present as to its magnitude
or results; yet, it would excite but little
surprise, if the present outbreak would be
the instigation of grand revolutionary up
rising in that country, which would result in
an entire change of government, and the
flight of the last reigning Bourbon. That
the Queen of Spain has anticipated such a
denouement, is apparent from the fact that
she some time since sent her jewels and a
large amount of money to England-the re-
fuge of fugitive sovereigns. Further news
from Spain will be anxiously looked for

A Congressional inquiry into the facts
connected with the capture of JEFF. Davis
fully confirmed the report that he was dis
guised in female garments when taken. tie
he'd on lady's water proof cloak, gathered
at the waist, and shawl drawn over his
head He carried tin pail upon his head
as if going for water. A pair of top boots,
which the cloak did not hide, betrayed MIN.
We believe that the whole party of ex-
rebels have quaked more in their souls al
the probable testimony as to Jeff's disguise
when captured than at the idea of having
the old traitor hung. How are you, chiv,

How IT WoRKs-In Chicago and other
places where the eight hour agitation has
been successful, the consequent reduction of
wages is causing great deal of dissatisfac
ton among the mechanics whom it affects
The ship carpenters, for instance, do not
relish the diminution of their earnings from
four dollars to three and quarter per day.
They seem to have imagined that they would
be paid the same for eight as for ten hours
work, and that they were gaining gaeat
advantage at the expense of the employers.
Their expectations have not been realized.
Manufacturing and railroad companies have
given notice that henceforth they will hire
laborers by the hour at the same rates as
heretofore, and this counter check efectual-
ly neutralizes the object sought to be gained
by the original movement,

1t is one Of the curious things about the
European complication that Austria, in case
of war with France, viii side with Prussia.
Fear of the Gar is said to be one of the
reasons. Be this as it may, we are apt to
suppose that the shrewdness of Bismark is
the bottom of II. Whatever is, has in
some way been brought about and We can
readily believe that the large headed Count
has had a hand in so managing matters as to
cause Austria to reach the conclusion she is
reported to have reached.

STARVATION, OVER NICE.-A contempo-
rary says, the starvation point that has been
reached in South Carolina is evidently only
relative That point of famine which no
longer admits of fastidiousness IN the choice
of food has not yet been arrived at. They
are hungry, but some delicacy of appetite
yet remains. Thus, for instance, General
Sickles writing to the Chairman OF the
Southern Relief Committee in Boston,
says: IF you send corn meal let me sug-
gest that you send white meal: for white
persons will not eat yellow meal. 1t is only
given here to cattle, an even the coiored
people refuse it. When we call to mind
what Union soldiers, who crowded the rebel
prison pens at Salisbury and Andersonville'
had to feed upon in their extremity, 1t GER
tainly requires some stretch OF charitable
feeling to arouse anything like sympathy
for people who are so very particular about
the quality of the aims they beg for.
