tho Government will soon order them to swear
allegiance to the Constitution of '5T, which
Of course, they cannot do.
Thus fur no demonstrations have been made
over the triumph except the ringing of the
bells of the city for about two hours on the
morning Of the entrance Of Gen. Diaz, staff
and Oaiaca troops. Sunday, the Both inst
Juarez is expected to enter his capital, when
great demonstrations will undoubtedly he
made. The reasons given why no dcmonsra.
tions of JOY were made are various but wc

that possessed the nhabitant, that there would
hc general slaughter and sacking Of cou,.
'mcrcial houses.

drcd men. strangers and Mexicans bearing
arms, have been shot at Queretaro since the
capitulation of that city; and not an evening

TUE CoNFISCATION BUGBEAR.-Forncy'
"Chroniclc of Saturday says in reference to
the till Of Mr.. Julian, providing for the for
fi.iturc of all lands granted to the Southern
States to aid them in the construction of rail
roads, it is agreed by intelligent men every.
where that however important the policy Of
coniscation would have been MS a war meas,

landed estates of the Sonth if it had been
fairly inauyuratcd in 1862 it is now too late
10 count upon it under any circumstances that
arc likely to arise. If Alr. Julian's bill were
adopted, no other coniscation would be nee
essary, for it would supply the necessities of
all, of whatever race color, who need free
homes, and thus quiet popular clamor while
restoring permanent peace and prosperity to
the whole country.
