Foreign Chastisemcnt Uncallcd for jn
Mexico,
From the Journal des Dcbats, Ju

From the Journal des Dcbats July 81
A telegram from Vienna announces that
Admiral Tegethoff has been instructed to
proceed to Mexico to recover the remains
of the Emperor Maximilian, and rumor
adds that the Austrian squadron will accom-
pany the Admiral. The latter intelligence
appears to us wholly inadmissible. No
squadron is wanted to bring back d coffin.
The mission of the conqueror of Lissa with
a strong force into Mexican waters would
seem to announce the intention of chastl-
sing Juarez and his partisans. We most
heartily wish that means could be found to
capture the bands which seized and put to
death the brother of Frances Joseph; but
is the thing possible? On the other hand,
would there not be as much injustice as
barbarity in bombarding Vera Cruz, and
thus furnishing, for the Emperor's murder,
the town which remained the longest faith
full to the Empire ? Austria will doubtless
understand, Just like France, what is the
most prudent course at the present day,
namely, to intrust to the ambitious gladia-
tors of Juarez themselves the talk of chas-
tising zach other, and exterminating them
selves turn by turn in sanguinary anarchy.
Alas why did we not adopt the policy to-
ward Juarez and his accomplices little
sooner

Congress VS.. Public Credit.

The strides which this Radical Bump
Congress takes at each session towards re-
pudiation are SO long that the goal will
probably be reached at the next session,
unless the fall elections should retard the
movement.
The Radicals admit that it is Il necessity
of their position to buy votes with the pub
lie money, profusely distributed among
their followers Without buying up gangs
of monopolists, jobbers, spectators, claim
agents-in fact, the whole force of party
managers-they cannot much longer retain
their power. For this end they pass boun-
ty bills freighted with millions. For this
they maintain host of military and civil
officers in the Southern States. For this
they employ an army of tax collectors and
assessors, whose emoluments, divided with
them and the sub jects of taxation, amount
to more than hundred millions a year.
For this they suffer Indian agents and other
irresponsible parties to provoke Indian
hostilities, and involve the country in a
cruel and relentless war for the extirpation
of the Indian race.
When will this career of reckless and
corrupt expenditure stop? Not whiie the
Radicals control Congress !; for it is neces-
sary that their largesses should be con-
stantly on the increase. Their followers
will clamor for more. The more they re-
ceive, the more they will expect. At every
session the greed and clamor for public
plunder increases, and members are told
that the Radical party must be propped up
with more money, more jobs, more boun-
ties.
At length it has come to this that the
mass of the people, seeing their substance
wasting under the inexorable demands
for taxation in every way, begin to com
plain.
The Radicals cannot reduce taXatlon.-
They promised il, and failed to perform it.
They could not even blunder into system
of taxationawhich, while it would produce
as much revenue as the present one. would
be less onerous upon the whole commu
nifty.
But they have new dodge for the fall
elections. To the people who demand re-
lief from taxes they will promise to aid the
revenue hereafter by taxing the United
States bonds in the hands of those who
hold them. They cannot legally tax the
bonds already issued, but they can create
a new debt, and impose taxes upon that
A large increase of the public debt must
take place under the legislation of the
present and the late Congress. The new
debt-provided it can be negotiated at all,
either at home or abroad-may be subject
to taxation. But to make bonds saleable
it may be necessary then to sell them at
heavy discount. But in this way margin
would be left for the promised taxation OF
the national debt. This project would IA
vor the policy of confscation and repudia-
tion In fine, the effect of Radical legisla-
ton and policy is to increase the public
debt to such an extent, and the consequent
burden of taxation, that conhscation and
reputation will be fearfully menaced.

THE PLAYMATE.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

The pines were dark on Ramoth hill,
Their song was soft and low;
The blossoms in the sweet May WIND
Were falling like the snow.
The blossoms drifted at our feet,
The orchard bird sang clear
The sweetest and the saddest day
1t seemed of all the year.
For, more than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home,
And took with her the laughing spring,
The music and the bloom.
She kissed the lips of kitl and kin,
She laid her hand in mine
What more could ask the bashful boy
Who fed her fathers kline !!
She left us in the bloom of May;
The constant years told Ger
Their seasons with as sweet May morns:
But she came back no more.
walk, with noisless feet, the round
Of uneventful years;
Still DER and DER / SOW the spring
And reap the autumn ears.
She lives where all the golden year
Her summer roses blow;
The dusky children of the sun
Before her come and go.
There haply with her jeweled hands
She smOthes her silken gown
No more the homespun lap wherein
| shook the WalnutS down.
The wild grapes wait us by the brook,
The brown nuts on the hill,
And still the May-day flowers make sweet
The woods of FOlly-mill
The lilies blossom on the pond,
The bird builds in the tree,
The dark pines sing on Ramoth hill
The slow songs OF the sea.
wonder if she thinks of them,
And how the old time seem,-
If ever the pines of Ramoth wood
Are sounding in her dreams.
I see her face hear her voice;
Does she remember mine
And what to her is now the boy
Who fed her fathers kline?
What cares she that the orioles build
For other eyes than ours,
That other hands with nuts are filled
And other laps with flowers?
o, playmate in the golden time
Our mOssy seat is green,
It's fragrant viO'ets blossom yet,
The old trees DER it lean.
The winds so sweet with birch and fem
A sweeter memory blow
And there IN spring the VeerleS sing
The song of long ago.
And still the pines of Ramoth wood
Are moaning like the sea
The moaning of the sea Of change
Between myself and thee!

The Cretans- Terrible Reports.

The latest official accounts from Crete
give terrible reports of the cruelty of Turks.
The Cretans having inflicted severe push
ment upon one of Omar Pasha's spies, this
general retaliates by actually crucifying a
Grecian priest, i'll order to satiate his re-
venge and to cast odium upon the Chris
tian religion, from which he apostacised
that he might become Turkish general -
He next besieged cavern, in which Greek
women and children had taken refuge, and
by closing the cavern with stones left them
to die of starvation. This renegade is re-
peating in Crete the scenes of carnage
which made him so infamous in Koordis-
tan, Syria and Montenegro. He boasts
that he will extermlnate the Cretans, and
the Turkish government, stalking its faith
in this general, declines for the present to
yield to the remonstrances of foreign DOW
ers. It declares, however, that it will con-
suit the Cretans' wishes in event of the rev.
olution not being quelled prior to July "a.
1t is stated that the Cretans are more he
roic than ever in their resistance.
Speaker Colfax said in his serenading
speech of Saturday night, that the votes Of
the reconstructed States of the South would
swell the Republican victory in the Presi-
Dental campaign of next year. It seems
by this that Mr.. Colfax at least has no part
in the scheme with which the Democrats
charges the Republicans of keeping out
the Southern States till after the next Presi-
Dental election. He will exercise his large
influence in the other direction. We hope
that the people of the South will do their
share in the work, and see to it that it be
not the fault of the Southern States them
selves If they are unable to take part in the
election of Gen. Grant as Johnson's success

lC Is Gfue JnaG IN some poruOnS OF the
Mississippi Valley the cotton and sugar
plantations have suffered seriously from
the overflow of the rivers but notwith-
standing this fact, the general crop in those
articles will be at least equal to that of
1860. All over tho Southern States there
has been this year an unusual great atten-
ton paid to the growth of cereals, and this
act will not only relieve the districts which
have been distressed by the want of food,
but will indicate to those people the value
and importance of applying the hand of
productive industry to the whole soil, in a
variety of crops, instead of hazarding all
things upon the success Of single product.
These figures show the extent of the crop
of 1860. That was seven years ago, since
which time the breadth of land devoted to
agricultural products has been vastly in
creased in all parts of the North. The
prices Of all those products have advanced
somewhat. An estimate of the value of the
crop of 1867 may be reached by adding to
the amount produced in 1866 Except of
cotton and sugar. forty per cent. and COM
putting the increased quantity by the ruling
prices.
The vast sum produced by this calcula-
ton is 50 much actual wealth added to the
national capital it is contribution by
nature to the industry of the people it is
the product of the labor of the agricultu-
rist. It will do much to relieve the finances
of the country, and will relieve the money
market It will be of special value to the
people of the South. They have had little
or no money since the war they have not
been able to employ the labor they wanted
because they had not the money to pay for
it. An abundant crop will place money in
their hands, with which they can recruit
their stock and employ good labor at the
wages of good laborers. Labor being paid
for according to it's value, the conditions
and industrial habits of the freedmen will
be directly benefited.
Between the 1st of July and the 1st OF
November, this vast volume of actual
wealth will be added to the national capital;
it represents so much gold, but is more in
dispensible than gold.
The abundance of the crop in the arti-
cles we have mentioned contributes also to
like increase i'll countless other articles.
The grass crops of this year, which, per-
haps, will surpass any of its predecessors,
indicates an increase of Easturage, and con-
sequently of fat beeves and other live stock.
The corn crop points to an immense addi-
ton to the number of hogs to be slaughter
ed: The products of the garden show the
general bounty of nature and from count
less sources will be added the contributions
from the crop of 1867 to the aggregate
wealth of the country
