ahead OF time, news from Macmillan aud the
Juarez government. 1t appears that on the Sd
inst his trial was postponed until the arrival
OF Minister from the Unit d States. The
imperial Indian, Thomas Mejia, had asked
General Escobedo to defend him In the court
martial, but Escobedo refused. This Is all that
could be expected from liberal general whose
honors have been won by low cunning and the
efforts Of Others not by generaiship. The fact
that the Juares government are awaiting the
arrival Of the United States Minister Is an in
dication that due Difference has been given to
our request In behalf Of Macmillan. II is
another indication, too, Of the urgent demand
there has been for . Minister near the head
quarters Of the republic during the stormy
period which has followed the French interven-
tion and the attempt to foist the empire upon
the Mexican people. Millions Of dollars will
not repay the losses that North American in
forests have sustained for want OF such repre-
sentative and in the almost inextricable snarl
into which Mr. Stewards halfway policy has
thrown our Mexican matters we doubt If there
are any but troubles for us in our future
contact with them. During all this strife 1t
has been the HIRALD that has represented the
United States people in Mexico, and the
HERALD commissioners have done more to-
wards cordial understanding between the
two countries than all tho United States Minis
ters we ever had there. A year since, finding
that we had to- assume the direction of affairs
In Mexico, we sent two Of the HERALD repre-
sentatives, at great expense, to that country.
One Of them had orders TO record the
movements Of Macmillan and the acts
Of the imperialiss, and the other to hunt up
the liberal government. The former has 40
companied the Austrian Archduke during all
his campaign, staying by his side throughout
the siege Of Quer6sarO, and, through the
HERALD, giving the most rapid and accurate
account Of what has transpired, so that the
nations interested might shape their political
movements with reference to events. The
entire and detailed history Of the siege of Que
retaro, which we gave day or two since, will
do more to establish the reputation of Maxi
milan in Europe than any acts Of his own; for
good historians make greatness; and 1t is
probable that the late accounts we have given
will 60 far towards seating Macmillan upon
the Austrian throne.
If our commissioner sent to the empire dis
played the qualities Of activity and energy in
the prosecution Of his mission, the one accre-
dited by Us to the Juares government was not
less persistent in bis efforts; for nine hundred
miles he forced his way through the country,
from Matamoros to chihuahua, and after being
besieged one night in rancho by eighty Two
Apache Indians, reached the liberal govern
from the liberal headquarters completely upset
Mr.. Stewards plan for the recognition Of the
empire, and created . great sensation In Eu-
rope, where the liberals, previously supposed
to be q myth, burst upon them, through our
columns, In all the dignity Of an organized
Power, with troops in the field, republican
system and nation Of people supporting It
Thus We brought Juarez into notice and struck
the worst blow at tho empire which It had re-
ceived up to hhat time. Following up the
stroke, we detailed the march Of the liberal
government from the city Of Ohihuahua to its
present headquarters at San Luis Potosi. Bent
upon forcing order out Of chaos, we proved
that the great popular cause Of Mexico was the
republic, and that, as Its representative. there
was no man but Juar6s who could restore
order to that distracted people. The United
States, from the accuracy OF our reports, &C
cepted the truths we presented, and henceforth
the Juarez government received the whole
support Of the country, and the empire, through
the HERALDs efforts, was doomed. The exact
military details which our correspondent with
President Juarez gave rs Of the probable re-
suit Of the Queretaro siege caused an applica-
ton to be made in time for Maximilian's life,
which we have thus saved.
Having restored Mexico 10 Its republican
condition, It becomes necessary, as Is seen by
the news, to have q United States Minister
there to fix up the odds and ends that our COM
missioners had no time to attend TO while en-
gagged in the main part Of the work. Had Mr..
Campbell placed himself under the wing Of our
representative he might have shared some Of
the honors; but-requiescat IN pace! Either Of
our correspondents would now all tie position
Of Minister to Mexico with honor, AMI 1t would
be wise on the part OF the government 70 give
one Of them the appointment, or elsa give 1t to
some other member Of the press who Is abys to
arrange Mexican affairs.
We have given the public the only accurate
Mexican news, recalled the rep'l 'lblio into exist
ence, made Benito Juarcz yae gresest living
Mexican, struck the empI.e its most fatal blow,
saved the life Of Macmillan. and opened his
way 70 the Austrian throne. Thus we restore
things to their pro,Ser order, and shus we re-
construct tbe. world.
