From Own Correspondent - ..
Something said or done in the capital has again
provoked the eyplotdcOn of covert system of lying,
of which the readers of Mexican may have more
or less suspicion. True enough, the condition of va
rious States of the Republic is far from atterng-
as who needs be told i-nor is it readily described.
Your correspondent has ignored no facts essential to
current knowledge of the case and it presents diff
fcultes which those who habiually sneer at Mexico
are less likely 10 appreciate than her best friends
But if her troubles and evils many, the lies told
of them at near dates, enormous Ii is necessary
10 guard the public against the stable of news lately
manufactured at MaZatlan and brownsville; as also
some waits of inveracty tloated North from Havana
These sources yariously represent that portion OF
Mexico is abOut to secede. and annex ltset 10 the
United States and that Mr.. Juarez and his Cabinet
are ready at any moment Ia sell out u the hgnest
bidder. But for rabid untruths the palm belongs To

II. lt is here said that the most sanghhe
friends of President Juarez do not claim
that the Republic is destined TO live three months
longer; that the Government clashes ana consumes
sOOOOOO of revenue eight months ahead; that the
election frauds have stirred up lnnumeraDle lnsur-
rections that with an army OF 4O.OOO men the GOV
ernment cannot keep order; that four states are IN
open revolution with pronunclamentos Dy the hund-
red and mutinies and village reNOlts; tnat MI
Juarez has asked six months leave OF absence from
fear; and that the treatment OF foreigners geheIy
Is infamous These are almost literal quotations
from a badly concatenated untruth the mallR-
nant character of which has drawn the com
ments of the American organ OF the eaplIal w.

These letters are written, by individuals IN IN

decent Journalism ought TO be warned against the
snurious news which bids for Its money. Al least
one professed sharper, who has left the capital Tor

IL the final failure of Mexico is to be predicated upon
these matters the case should have been thrown up
long ago. II Is true that several states are
