The same magazine thus alludes to
10 the prohigate waste of public money
In Washington and in the Northern
States: and when il is remembered that
ior the past six years the Radicals have
had full possession of power in this sec
tiou. the taxpayers, manufacturers,
and business men of the nation will
see The Importance of their defeat as Q
means of relief:
Ii surely canuot be deemed unreasOn-
able to expect that for the current fiscal
year. W. should have something like an
approximation for the scale of e8pendi-
ture which obtained before the war;
excepting in those items of expense
which must be regarded as inevitable
results of the'war. Yet we find the re-
port of the Secretary of the Treasury
gives for the six heads of expenditure
above enumerated. an aggregate of
s2l6, SOP ,:f9S as the estimated disburse-
ments for 1S61, or Sl56, ,926 more
than in 1851. 1t is true that of this
amount S6i,0o0,000 il apportioned for
the payment OF bounties; but il is also
true that il is through appropriations
of this very character, based upon no
actual claim on the government, and
really in the nature of political gra-
tuity, that the public expenditures are
being so enormously increased.
Nor is this extravaganza in appropri-
ations peculiar alone to Congress. The
State Legislatures show n like reckless
ness Of expenditures. Here also the
immense Sums raised in support of the
war have demoralized every idea Of
economy, and large sums Of money are
voted with spendthrift heedlessness. 1t
may be safely estimated that the States,
exclusive of the Southern States, have
increased their debts during the war
nearly S3O0,0O0,000 while the city,
town and county debts have increased
to still larger extent, the conse-
quent local taxation being most injur-
lous to the interests Of property hold
We think it ise high time that some
check was imposed upon this reckless
mesa In accommodating debts 4 large

THE MOBILE RIOT.

We cannot come to any other conclu
sion than this: that Judge KELLY made 9
mistake in not remaining in Mobile to vim
dicate freedom of speech. He was assured
by the mayor and by many of the leading
citizens, of complete protection from all
molestation, and, as we understand, men
of all parties desrous of maintaining law
and order besought him to remain and
to deliver another address. The persons
who got up this riot were few hair
Drained and desperate characters, such as
may be found in all communities. Such
persons are generally ready for scenes OF
this sort; but, in the midst Of community
of law-abiding citizens they can very soon
be subdued As We have once before an
nounced, public meeting has been held
in Mobile, at which this riot was denounced
in the most positive terms. 1t is impossi-
BILE, therefore, to hold Mobile or the South
responsible for this outrage.
We think that Judge KELLY, instead oi
hastening off to Montgomery, as he did
should have remained, as he was solicited
to do, and have Vindicated then and there
freedom of speech. We do not discuss
tins question in any partisan sense, but
look upon it only as question vital to
free spcech-a fundamental question in
American ideas and American politics.

az No,ice.-rho DAILY NATIONAL RrruBtIcA'
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

After considerable study Of the various
accounts we have in this country, from
time to time, Of Mexican affairs, we confess
to a want OF knowledge respecting the
precise situation, The fault may be ours,
though we think not We have tried TO
collect some correct and intelligent in
formation in regard to the position Of
the contending parties there, but it
seems utterly futile to predicate any
thing for certainty upon the contradio-
tory dispatches received from that country.
We should judge-to use mild term
that the leaders on either side had taken
to misrepresentation, believing that If each
can make the world believe that he is the
victor, success will surely ensue to the
party that can boast the most and the
loudest.
We are told one day that the Liberals
are in the ascendant that they are COM
pletely victorious over their foes; and
then comes the news, or what is alleged TO
be news, the declaration that the lmpe-
rialists are victorious.
The other day we were informed in the
most circumstantial and formal manner
that MIRAMoS had been killed; that Que
retaro had been taken, and that MAXI
MILIANs forces had been scattered abroad
in the direst confusion. Then Minister
CAMPBELL's official messenger, which he
sent out, informs the State Department
that MlRANoN is not dead that QueretarC
is not taken, and that the Imperialists are
not defeated nor are they flying in confu,
sion. Now what are we to make out Of
oil this We suppose we must wait till
time shall have demonstrated who are the
yictors. We cannot doubt, in the long
run, how this conflict is to terminate
MAMMALIAN and his forces must be de
feated. If he could not succeed wher
backed by France how can he expect tC
establish his empire when abandoned by
that Power?
The real situation, as near as we can
judge, seems to be this at this juncture:
Queretaro, Mexico city and Vera Cruz
are in possession Of the Imperialists. MAX
MILAN in person, aided by MlRAMoS, is
defending Queretaro. He has about eleven
thousand men. EscoBEDo is said to be
investing this place with about thirty
thousand men, and it is thought he will
compel the surrender Of the place, as he
commands all Of its main approaches
MARQUEE commands at the city of Mexico
and has small force under his direction
which is endeavoring to defend the city
against DTAz, whose force is rather incon,
siderable.
1t is impossible in this condition of af.
fairs to tell how soon decisive battles may
be fought and victories won. We have
no doubt, however, of the success Of the
Liberal cause sooner or later. Onr sym.
pathies are with the republicans. We
can but express the wish, however, that
both parties would give us true statements
of the situation, and not mislead us as they
have heretofore done.
