The News from Mexico.

The Austrian adventurer, Macmillan, is
making q bold stand for his empire. In our
correspondence of yesterday it is reported that
he headed dashing sortie against the besieg-
ers and for time threatened to overthrow
them. Corona and Trevino, however, restored
the fortunes Of the day and recagcd impe-
rialism.
with much trouble in their rear, the revolt of
the Laguneros In southwest Coahuia, forcing
the removal Of General Ortega from Saltillo to
Monterey, being now followed by an uprising of
the famous bandits Of Tamaulipas, who keep
this province in constant broil, and from its
proximity to the United States make our
people believe that it is a good exponent of
Mexico, when really it is to that country what
onr border is to the United Sta.es-the safety
valve for all the cutthroats Of the land.
The Custom Houses of Tampico and Mlta-
moros have always furnished rich bait for
men like Canales, Cortina and Gomez, who,
regardless Of political principles, have from
time to time seized and held these money CEN
tres, draining them of their wealth. Gomez is
now about to try his hand at the plundering
game. He will doubtless be aided by Canales,
who was, at last accounts, near by, at the Vale
del Maiz, with six hundred of his choicest cut
throats. His aid will last until the division of
the spoils is to be decided.
All these troubles in the rear and flank Of
the liberal army at Queretaro weaken them
very much, and, though simply local reyolts,
having no object in view except plumber, are
Of the greatest aid to Macmillan. The whole
difficulty springs from lack Of strong hand to
crush out such risings and from the fact that
under the miserable generalship of Escobedo
the siege of Queretaro drags along so slowly.
1t is time that Esc0bedo was removed and
some one like Porfirio Diaz placed in CON-
mand, if republicanism is to be re-estabished
in Mexico; otherwise we shall never have the
pleasure OF treating Macmillan to New York
reception

The United States is fast becoming the
market of the world for iron-clads. The cry OF
the cunning m magician, Clamps for sale! Who'll
exchange old lamps for newt" attracted
Aladdin's mother, and induced her to barter
away the wonderful source Of her sons wealth.
MIR. Stewards cry Of "Iron-clads for sale!
Who'll trade old territory for iron-clads ~ has
proved irresistible to the crowned heads of the
world, and they are running after our national
auctioneer with the energy of Toodles,
anxious to secure an article which they all feel
it would be just now handy to have in the
house. Our great Russian American acqui-
sition, which enables US to use the North Pole
as Flagstaff for the stars and stripes, is to be
paid for, 1t is said, in iron-clads. Prussia
promises to be cash customer, as she wants
all her real estate for her own use. 1t is re-
ported that the mysterious mission of the
Japanese Commissioners has for its object a
Yankee swap" OF few thousand islands for
three or four iron-clads, as well as to settle up
little matter with some Of our political
jobbers, in which our Asiatic friends claim to
have been badly vicIimzed. Now our special
cable despatch from Vienna announces that
the government of Greece has contracted Nth
the United States for the purchase of seven
monitors but whether these are TO be paid for
in coin, or whether Mr.. Seward has an eye
upon
"The isles OF Greece-the isles OF Greece,
Where burning Sappho loved and sung"
does not appear. AT all events we congratu-
late the Secretary upon the rapid increase Of
his iron-clad trade, and wish him fair profit
and good paying customers. But in the present
muddled condition of foreign affairs we should
advise him in every case to make bis terms,
"Cash or territory to be paid down. No
trust"

OF all the stupid and suicidal legislation ever
the re-registration as American vessels those
that passed under foreign flag during the war
for the sake of protection from rebel pirates.
The vast tonnage Of this country dwindled
down very much, as l. well known. during the
war, from this cause and in this way. The gov
eminent, having the extensive Southern coast
to blockade, could not afford protection to our
merchant vessels at sea. A navy twice as
large as ours could not have done SO. What
then, were our shipowncrs to do! Could they
see their property sacrificed and themselves
ruined? 1t would have been unreasonable to
expect this Of them. To protect themselves
they used what was called the whitewash-
ing process to great extent-that is to
say, they placed their property under
foreign flag, and chiefly under the British flag.
A portion OF our tonnage, however was sold
outright. Still large amount continued to be
owned here, though put under foreign flag by
the withdrawing process. When the war
ended the American shipowners wanted. natu-
rally enough, to have their vessels restored
under their own flag. This, strange to say.
Congress would not permit, and actually passed
a law prohibiting the re-regis;ration Of such
vessels And why was this done Simply to
favor few shipbuilders Of New England. II
was supposed that If these American built
ships Of American owners, which had sought
protection under foreign flag, were forbidden
registration again, an immense and profitable
business would be given to the sbipbuilders Of
the Eastern States But the high prices Of labor
and materials have disappointed these expccta-
tons. Our tonnage remains in the same
dwarfed proportions in which the war left IL.
Tho consequence Is, as the official report from
Washington states, the large proportion Of our
foreign trade is done in foreign bottoms. This
is disgrace to q great commercial nation
like the United States. IL Is great loss at the
same time; for, of course, foreigners get the
bulk Of the profits Of the carrying trade, even
where there may be American ownership or
part ownership In the "whitcwashed" vessels
Let M hope that when Congress shall reassem-
bic II win have The good sense and patriotism

and there is proposition to take hold Of the
public markets, AMI, by new ordinances, to head
of the proposed reforms contemplated by the
city Comptroller and re.ain the markets as a
source Of profit and plumber in the hands Of
the Common Council.
The people are well aware Of all these noto-
rious facts. They are no news to the readers
OF the HERALD; for we have been engaged in
exposing them for the past quarter Of CEN
fury. A majority of the voters Of tho city,
knowing how they are robbed and wronged,
would gladly unite to pnt a stop to this open
corruption. Several remedies have been pro-
posed, but they are only tinkerings at reform.
What the people need is a stable, strong and
compact city government, having one execu-
tive head, responsible directly 10 the electors
Of the city and held answerable to them for
the capacity, efficiency and. honesty Of every
subordinate department of the municipal gov
eminent. This would at once remove the most
prolific source of legislative corruption--the
corporation rings and the political commits
sions Of New York. Then, with State gov
eminent rendered powerful by the increase of
executive authority, with a Legislature re-
stricted as much as possible from special legis-
lation, and with disappointed. fearless and
independent judiciary, we might look to i'm
mediate, thorough reform and to a great future
for the Empire State. Let the approaching
Convention give us constitution thus re-
modelled and State and city governments thus
reconstructed and their work will be gladly
welcomed and triumphantly supported by the
electors Of this city and of the State.

A Chance for Ashley and Butler.

The question of session of Congress in July
begins to be agitated, and some anxiety is man
ifested on the part OF the radical members on
struction may take under the action Of the SUI
preme Court will settle the point whether a
session IS to be held or not, but some of the
more restless spirits Of Congress cannot remain
satisfied doing nothing. The Ashleys and the
Buffers will never be contentel until they have
impeached somebody. Impeachment is their
ruling passion, and will be as strong with them
in political death as in life. Their principal
desire is to impeach the Presid mt and ii be
should be guilty OF conduct in his official
capacity calculated to interfere with and inter-
rupt the work of reconstruction and the settle
ment Of the country under the laws of Con-
gress, they would find no difficulty in accom-
plishing their object But II they cannot i'm
peach the President, they are bound to take
some other public officer. They tried their
bands on Collector Smythe, Of New York, last
session; but he made such plain, satisfactory
statement that they were compelled to back
out, and Congressman Hulburi, who took the
lcuu III luc ptISCCuuOHy Coiuc uCui UCIuB in-
peached himself for his share in the aiflir. We
have proposed several subjects for impeach-
ment Onrselves-among others Chief Justice
Chase but he very wisely followed the advice
Of he HERALD and prepared to discharge his
duties under the laws Of Congress, and SO we
let him 60. But Ashley, Butler h Co., have
now vsry good opportunity to get up an i'm
parchment in the case Of Judge Underwood.
His recent charge to the grand jury at Rich
mond shows that he is unfit to sit upon the
bench and administer the laws His incendiary
appeals to the passions of the people would
render it an easy matter for Congressional
committee to charge him with getting up the
Richmond negro riot day or two since He
wants to be martyr, and Ashley and Butler
are itching for victim. We repeat, here is q
good chance for an impeachment in July. We
should be sorry to see it done; for Judge Under
wood is not OF sufficient importance 10 accom-
plish any real mischief, and his judicial eccen-
tricities furnish spicy matter for newspaper
reading. We only offer the hint out Of sympa-
thy for Ashley, Butler, and their associates in
and out OF Congress, who, like Othello, find
their occupation gone unless they can have
somebody to impeach; and we hope they will
give US proper credit for our charitable inten-
tons.
