The New Mexican Minister.
AS the question of who is Marcus luxembourg,
the new Mexican Minister, is being raised, your
correspondent will state, In addition to what he
has before said, that he Is q German gentleman
of excellent ability, and in supplanting Camp
bell with him the Government gains not only in
having Minister in Mexico, but in having a
representative with brains and practical energy.
He is neither an Austrian nor a partisan of
Maximllian but belongs TO the German revolu-
tionary party, and was exiled in I849 along with
Carl schurz, Hecker, and others of that stamp.
In American politics he is deeply dyed Radi-
cal. He has made a faithful and excellent Con-
sui, and there is no reason to doubt but that he
viii be up to the average of recent foreign ap-
pointments.
Secretary stanton.
Some of the Copperhead papers have again
started the report that Secretary Stanton in
tends to resign, because of the recent develop.
ment of differences between the President and
himself on the matter of the Attorney Generals
opinion. Most people don't need to be informed
that the differences between the President and
the Secretary of War, on the reconstruction
question, are very radical and of long standing,
but many people don't know that the Secretary
has always expressed dissent, when an express
sion was necessary, as freely on former occa-
sions as on this. 1t will be remembered that
when the President submitted his veto of the
District Suffrage bill to his Cabinet, the Secre-
tary Of War was the only member who read a
written opinion In favor of the bill, and advised
the President to sign it.
The Political Canvass in Virginia.
Colonel @. e. Moss, of Missouri, leaves here
tomorrow for Wytheville, Va, where he will be
joined by Colonel N. Marsh, of that place, after
which they will proceed in company to canvass
the southwestern counties of the State, under
the direction of the Union Republican Congress
sional Committee. The same Committee has
arranged with Mr.. George Tucker, District
Attorney of Fairfax county, Va, and the Rev.
Fields Cook, of Richmond, to start for Danvlle,
Va, tomorrow, where they will address the
people, and then proceed eastwardly, canvassing
the southern tier of counties.
General Grant fer President I'm Georgia.
The Atlanta NeU Era one of the leading
papers of Georgia, hoists at the head of its
columns the name of General Grant for the next
President Of the United States. 1t believes he is
the only man who can lead the nation from its
present gloomy political night into brighter
and more effulgent day. So mighty is the tide
now setting in, that it seems the will of Deity
ITSELF So accepting it, we place the name of
Ulysses S. Grant at the head of the columns
of the Ne,c Era as the peoples choice for Pre-
sident.
Mayor MOnrOe's Northern Experience Re-
garding General SherIdan's Course and
RadIcaIism.
Mayor Monroe, In an address to a meeting of
citizens on his recent return to New Orleans
from the North, stated that he had not met a
single man at the North who approved the
course of General Sheridan, and that radicalism
was virtually dead. The people of the North,
he said, we're now trembling lest they too should
have the rights Of their States overthrown and
military rule put over them.
wilkes Booth and the President.
The Judiciary Committee recently sent down
to Nashville confidential person to ascertain
the relations that existed between ]. Wilkes
Booth and President johnson when both were
in Nashville, during the latter part of the war.
After interTogating many prominent men Of
both parties nothing further was discovered
that Booth and the then Military Governor of
Tennessee had no connection with each other
whatever. Apropos to this, Nashville paper
says, "Strange to relate, General Grant, who
knew that Booth was a rank Rebel and had
refused to take the oath, gave him pass to go
to New Orleans in the early part of 1864, writing
and signing the document himself.
