Picayune) the La Concordia, of sth August,
ult., in which we find decree of Benito'
Juarez, claiming to be constitutional Pres
ident of the Mexican United States, where-
by he proceeds to ''organize" the Supreme
Court. He, of course, thereby deposes all.

and Congress, including Jesus Gonzales
Ortega, Chief Justice and now ex-offieio

had already usurped the Office, this is hard
ly new thing. The only wonder is that
he had not named himself for the Presiden-
ey of the Supreme Court, instead of Sc
bastian. # lLerdo De Teyadaa,2
