MEXICO. - The New York Times of
Monday contains the following truthful
article touching affairs in Mexico, and
the failure of the efforts OF Europeans
to overthrow a republic and establish
instead a monarchy upon the American
continent
Now that the Mexican Empire is as
dead as that of the Caesars, the fact that
10000 and odd Europeans could even for
a time put the yoke upon a nation Of
from seven to eight millions, again sug-
gests discussion. The true explanation
of so humiliating a fact is not to be
found in mere lack of arms and NUM-
tions OF war by the Mexicans, though
lack there was. 1t lies rather in the in.
ternal dissensions which had already
rent In twain the Republic itself, and
which made its nonquest easy. Civil
war for half century had almost ex-
PEELED national spirit from Mexico, sub
stituting party spirit in its stead. 1t is
an incontestible fact that the wealth

peace and protection, whether under
Juarez or Macmillan, and the poorer
classes had very much the same feeling.
The great object in life Of the former was
to avoid forced loans, Of the latter to
avoid kidnapping into the army. 1t
had been the cHstom for band of SOL
diers to suddenly appear, by preconcerted
signal, ON well'illed street or square,
close up the exits with guards, and pick
out fifty or hundred men from the
frightened throng for their ranks, as
sheep are picked out for slaughter on a
farm. Consequently, recruits of this
sort were very apt to act like
sheep in battle. Again in a morn
ing's paper would appear list
in solid small type, ofperhaps dozen col
umns, of citizens assessed at various ar
bitrary sums from $50 to 0,000, which
forced loan was secured forth with under
confscation and jail. The result Of this
| system was seen when a foreign army,
with serried ranks and honeyed promi5ts,
landed in Mexico. Now that the re-
republic is re-established, let US hope
that the fatal resort to kidnapping
troops and extorting loans is over. will

Union Pacific are now ready for the cars,
but 300 miles were in use during May,
and the earnings OF this portion OF the
line during that month are officially re-
ported at S26l, ,782. Deducting operating
expenses, this leaves a sum OF more than
four times the interest on the Company's
bonds that can be issued on that length
OF road. There seems to be no doubt,
now, of the early completion OF the great
line TO the Pacific. Ten thousand men
are cutting their way eastward from the
California end and over and through the
Sierra Nevadas and one section OF the
eastern end is hardly done before the
government commissioners are called
upon to examine and accept another ;
and what is more (and better for the
stockholders and bondholders), the net
earnings of both ends are sufficient to
pay the interest on their bonds several
times over. The capitalists who have
already paid their millions for the stock
already see profitable return, and we
can see no reason why the First Mortg-
age Bonds, advertised in another column,
are not one Of the safest as we'll as most
profitable investments Of the day. These

SHoRr HORN CATTLS.-Some weeks
since we published a description OF the
short horn herd OF A. NJ. Winslow and
Sons, q utney,-asking; il there were
other herds, that information might be
given To us In reference to them. Soon
after, afriend gave us description of
the herd of Hon. Elijah Cleaveland OF
Coventry. Another herd has been fur
nished by Mr.. N. E. Parkill of Wey-
bridge for which our thanks are due, for
it is matter Of interest and Importance
to thetarmers OF Vermont to know the
facts which have been ELECTED by these
notices, and it is a gratifying fact to
learn hat there are three distinct herds
of puR blood, short horn stock in Ver-
mont, md ere long it is hoped that other
herds nay be brought into the State, and
Vermoit breeders OF pure blood stock
secure 70 themselves, as rich rewards
from tem as the farmers of Western
Massacl lusetts are now doing, and our
State BIAS celebrated for its blooded
cattle Al it now is for its sheep.
The history OF the herd of Mr.. Lucius
J. Wright OF Weybridge, which has been
sent us,is as follows: In July 1857,
Mr.. Wright purchased ofJames Fulling-
ton andJsmes Fills, OF Union county,
Ohio, Il head OF thorough bred short
horn Durham cattle. He has now thirty
cattle Two OF his cows were originally
from the celebrated stock of James B.
Clay of kentucky, and the balance were
bred direct from stock imported from
Englsnd by the Darley Plain Importing
Company. The list Of Mr.. Wright's sales
are: light COWS and heifers to J. & H.
Bowdtch, of Weybridge, Vt, for $500 !;
two yer old bull to 7. W. Park, Of
San francisco, Cal, for $500; i've year

The SHEEP SHEARRR's FRsTIvAL.-A
sheep shearers' festival inaugurated
under the auspices OF the Caledonia
County Wool Growers Association,
opened at the fair grounds in this town
last Wednesday, at 10 o'clock. In the
forenoon several sheep were sheared, but
the principal part Of the show took
place after dinner. The attendance in
the forenoon was quite respectable, but
much larger in the afternoon. The in
terest manifested was fully as extensive,
probably, as the managers anticipated.
1t is new thing In this section Of the
State, and may hereafter assume greater
Importance, and elicit as much interest
as such occasions do in some other coun-
ties OF the -CaIeGoniGn.

TEACHERS INsTITUTE.-The Teachers
institute, for Rutland county, is to be
held under the superintendent of J. s.
Adams, ESQ, Secretary of the Board OF
Education, at Fairhaven on Friday and
Saturday next. A lecture on the gen.
eral interests of education in Vermont
will be delivered on Thursday evening
by Secretary Adams. We bespeak for
him a full house, and none can fail to
be interested when he speaks on any
subject. The daily sessions Of the Insti-
tute will commence at o'clock a. m.
An examination of teachers that desire
State certificates will be held on Friday,
from 9. N. to II m. Certificates OF
the first grade are for ten years. and the
second for five years.
In addition to the usual exercises of
the Institute, Mr.. George A. Walton, Of
Massachusetts,, whose arithmetical cards
have been adopted by the Vermont Board
Of Education, will be present and ex-
plain them to teachers. Mrs. Smith, of

CALIFORNIA PoLITICs.-The politicians
and peoplein California are getting ready
for their biennial State election, which
will take place in September next. Both
the Republican and Democratic parties
will hold nominating conventions dur
ing the present month, aud they will be
followed by sharp three months can
vass. Gov. Low has held the Office of
Governor now for four years, and he Is a
candidate for denomination and re-elec-
tion, though several other prominent
Republicans think it is time the Cover
nor was rotated out Of Office, so as to
allow them to take his place. The fact
that the Legislature to be chosen next
fall will have United States Senator to
elect complicates the political situation,
for the Californians look upon six
years residence at Washington as the
sonnwn bonum OF political ambition.
There was very long and exciting can
vass over the choice of Republican
successor to Democratic McDougall two
years ago, and there will probably be an
equally long and exciting strife over the
next election. Mr.. Conness wants to be
reelected and will do all in his power to
accomplish his wish, but all the disap-
pointed aspirants for McDougalls place
are again in the field hungry for Sena-
torial honors, and other new candidates
are daily springing up. The Democrats,
of course, have plenty of candidates for
the Gubernatorial and Senatorial posi-
tions, but, as Gov. Low was elected by
about 10000 majority, and the present
Legislature has Republican majority OF
66, there is no great encouragement for
the politicians Of that party. They can
have the amusements of nominating con-
ventions and stump speeches, but the
Republicanslare sure to carry off the hon
ors by substantial msjorities.

MONTPELIER AND ST.. JoHNsBURY RAIL
RoAD.-Walton's Journal says: The dele
cation of gentlemen from Portland
visited Montpelier, Saturday, and were
cordially greeted by a good number Of
our citizens at the State House. Ex-
Governor Washburn of Maine spoke
briefly but emphatically on the determi-
nation of Portland to seek direct rail-
road connection with the West, through
N. FL. and Vt. A connection from Oswe-
go westward is engaged and the Maine
portion of the road is now assured, so
that the entire line is certainly to be
constructed. He said the interests of
Portland, having regard to the amount
of local trade it would receive in addi-
tion to the Western, clearly required q
connection with the Vermont Central
and Montpelier, rather than at any point
north or south of Montpelier but that,
if this should fail, then Portland would
be forced to seek q more northern line.
Hon. C. W. willard responded in behalf
of Montpelier, and after good break
fast at the Pavilion, the company left to
examine the route from Montpelier to

Mr.. Chase, on taking the chair, ad-
dressed the meeting, saying that under
almost any other circumstances he
should feel compelled 10 decline the posi-
tion rendered him, but the objects
sought to be accomplished were Of such
character that they most fully COM
mended themselves to his approval, and
he felt it matter OF duty to do the
work assigned him by the unanimous
vote of the Association, and would en-
deavor to perform his official duties in
the best manner he could.

The state Convention.

We present at the head OF our editorial
columns, this week, the ticket put upon
nomination by the Republican State
Convention holden the 30th ult., and are
confident that IL is ticket that the Re-
publicsns OF Vermont will elect by the
usual overwhelming majorities. Hon.
John d. Page, our candidate for the Of
flee Of Governor Is a man we'll known to
the people Of our State as the faithful
and indefatlgable State Treasurer during
the dark hours of the rebellion, who did
more to keep the financial credit of the
State at point which enabled US to
raise money on advantageous terms,
than all the rest of our public men to-
gether. Not till the country emerged
from the perils of war and our State debt
was in fair way to be liquidated, did
Mr.. Page put off the armor, and now,
as reward of his labors and his sue
cesses at time when labors were most
arduous and successes most rare, he is
called by grateful people to "go up
higher, and right gladly do we say
Amen.
Besides being man of excellent ad-
ministrative abilities, Mr.. Page is q man
of strict personal honor, of unblemished
moral and christian character, and wor-
thy of all confidence from the people.
Gen. Stephen Thomas, our candidate
for Lieut.. Governor, was formerly 8
Democrat, but when bloody treason at
tempted to bring dishonor on our flag,
sinking the partizan in the patriot, he
threw his whole influence on the side OF
justice and right, and gave practical
efficiency to his words by corresponding
acts. He led the 8th Vermont Regiment
to the field and fought the war through,
and was promoted to Brig. General for
gallant conduct.
Now that the war Is over, he returns
to the pursuits OF civil life and identi.
fes himself in his political affiliations
with the men who put down the rebel
lion. To-day he stands as worthy ex'
ample of the citizen soldiery Of Vermont.
To him also the people say well done;'
and give him substantial tokens of their
appreciation of his loyalty and his valor
by nomination to the second place
within their gift.

PROGRESS OF THE UNION Pacific RAIL-

Commissioners have officially advised
the Secretary of the Interior that they
have examined the eighth section ofthis
road, beginning at the 305th and ending
at the 345th mile-post, and have found
it ready for service, and fully equipped
with the necessary locomotives, cars, etc.
This great road is being pushed forward
with degree of energy that must insure
its early completion. General Sherman
says that it so useful and necessary to
the government that 1t could well afford
to build it on its own account, and save
money from the diminished cost of trans
porting public stores. In fact, the gov
