The letters dated June and June 7, which
we published yesterday from our correspon-
dents in the city of Mexico, confirm our original
impression that Mexican affairs are in a state
Of irretrievable confusion, and that the Mexi
cans with their mixture of Spanish, Indian
and African blood, are as incapable of self
government as they were before their bloody
execution of the late Emperor Macmillan.
The first letter, indeed, chronicles the pardon
of General Matias Jimenez, as an agreeable
and popular offset to the shooting Of 80 many
generals Immediately after the abolition of the
empire But it records also the ransacking Of
the hacienda of Mariana Riva Palacias, one of
the advocates who defesded Macmillan, by
Julio Lopez, ''who is now in Chalco helping
himself and making forced loans;" the failure
of Escobedo to accomplish anything against
Zaragua, who, with his three hundred men, is
in the sierra of the State of Qleretaro, and is
believed to be concentrating his forces with
those of Montez; the possession Of portion Of
the pronounced forces of this State by San
Pedro Tolman, in spite of General AntillOn;
Wholesale assertions on the part of the govern
ment infantry tho total defeat Of the govern
ment forces in Campeachy by the savages
whom they were expected to blot out; the
rumor that Romero himself had been attacked
and robbed on his way down to the steamer,
the serious opposition with which General
Rivera, who was just beyond Toluca with his
three hundred men, was threatening the gov
crnment new outbreak in Tczuitlan and the
impeachment of two governors by Congress-
the Governor of Jalisco who was found guilty,
and the Governor of Guanajuato, who was &C
Quilted The second letter gives full and mi
mute account of the history of the FIRST six months
of the Mexican Congress, showing who COM
pose il, how they arc elected-that is, that they
are not elected directly by the people-how
they are paid, what they have done, or rather
what they have not done, together with the
closing speeches of President Juarez and Mr..
zarco, the Speaker Of the Congress. We must
adhere to our prediction that the Mexican
people will not be thoroughly reorganized until
the moral suasion of General Sheridan and
twenty-five thousand men, representing the
vitality and force of American ideas, shall have
brought order out of the chaos of Mexican
affairs.

Political RevOiutions-Their EbS and Ecamx.
The republican party of the United States
swept the country at the elections in the Year
1866 on the constitutional amendment known
as article fourteen, which is now accepted as
portion of the charter Of government under
which we live. They went into Congress
strong on the result of the issue and the idea
of speedy and equitable reconstruction of the
Union. They took hold Of the territory Of the
States lately in rebellion, however, stuffed with
the negro, and determined to force negro
equality-African supremacy, in fact-down
the threats of the inhabitants at the point of
the bayonet. The people saw that the repub-
licans had obtained this position under false
pretence, and powerful reaction in opposition
both to their policy and practice ensued.
After enduring the attempts at negro rule
for some time the thinking mind of the
country, influenced and to a great extent
directed by the HERALD, rebellcd against
the republicans and manifested its oppo-
sition at the elections of 1867 by sweep
ing adverse vote thrown at all the chief
points of contest. The return tide of reformed
democracy has flowed steadily since, the mud
died volume of republication receding in its
face but its course is likely to be again
changed by the action of the Democratic Ma
tonal Convention, influenced by copperheads
and the cowardly and politically demoralized
of the delegates in session in Tammany Hall.
Democracy is on the point Of fatal ebb and
its triumphs Of 1867 may be completely oblite-
rated

SPAIN COMING TO HER SENsEs.-In Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines American ves-
sells have for some time been subjected to
grievous inconvenience. The slightest irregu-
larity was sufficient TO expose American ship
masters to the most unjust and cruel fines. The
evil could not much longer have been endured.
We are glad to notice that by order of the
Queen Of Spain port and navigation dues
are henceforward to be discontinued in all the
ports of the islands above mentioned We

TAX OF TEN PER CENT AND THE BOND
HoLDERs.-The backwoodsmen and old fogy
politicians who have come here to make poll
the Presidency seem to have no idea of the
great and vital issues of the time. For exam
pie, little is said about the tax on the bond
holders, yet upon this question alone we ven
ture to say the majority of the next Congress
will be elected. The mass of the people every
where will insist upon the wealthy bondholders
bearing due proportion Of the public burdens,
and no party or candidate for Congress can
succeed that is opposed to the ten per cent tax.

EUROPEAN HoNo..s TO AMERICAN DEMoo-

publish to-day, forwarded by our special cor
respondents from all the chief cities of the Old
World, and transmitted to us through the
Atlantic cable, in report Of the observance Of
the ninety second anniversary of the birthday
of American Independence, will be read with
mingled feelings Of pride and pleasure. Tho
great principle of mans right to self-govern-
ment, asserted in such triumphant manner by
the signers of the Declaration Of Independence,
is being cherished by the European peoples into
hopeful animation, as proof Of which we need
only mention the significant fact that In no city
was the toast of the Prosperity Of the Repub-
lie" more enthusiastically honored than in
Madrid.

who was encumbered with Barnum and his

Our Mercantile Marine-A Shipbuilders

Views.
We published yesterday q communication
from Mr.. Donald Mckay on the condition OF
our mercantile marine and the effect of inc
quality of taxation on the shipbuilding in
terest. His views on the system of unjust and
unequal taxation are very good, and he is right
about taxing the interest on government bonds,
but with regard to shipbuilding and the way
to build up our mercantile marine he is mis-
taken and behind the times. Mr.. Mckay, who
was an excellent builder of wooden clipper
ships, seems to forget that iron steamships are
superseding wooden vessels for freight as well
as for passengers, and that until we can rival
the iron manufacturers and steamship builders
of the Clyde we cannot regain our former mari
time ascendancy. Iron, and not wood, is the
material now used, and it will be hereafter used
for the steam mercantile marine of all nations.
They build ships on the Clyde for all countries.
Not only the lines of British steamships to this
steamships running between Europe and Amer
lea were built there ALSO We had an advan-
tage in our vast and magnificent forests Of
timber when wood was used, and we had
besides superior skill in the construction of
wooden vessels; but our war, together with
the substitution of iron steamships for mercan-
tile purposes and the advantages of the Clyde
manufacturers have left us behind in the race.
The question now is, how can we compete with
the Clyde shipbuilders under this new condi-
ton of things? They have an abundance of
fine iron and coal convenient, and they have
both cheap and skilled labor. We have, too,
the greatest abundance of iron and coal, of
the finest quality, in Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Tennessee, Georgia, and, in fact, in most of
the States of the Union. Two things are
wanted here especially First we need
reduction of taxation, so that living
and labor would be cheaper; and next,
we want to encourage the immigration
of such skilled mechanics, shipbuilders,
miners and iron workers as are found on the
Clyde. We have all the natural resources, and
with these other advantages we should soon
become the first shipbuilding and first maritime
country in the world. There is no other way,
and if Mr.. Mckay wants to see again the mari
time ascendancy of the United States he will
turn his attention from wood to iron and from
sailing vessels to steamships.

WEST INDIAN NEws-T lack Of volcanic
disturbances in the West Indies is supplied by
very destructive floods in jamaica by procla-
nations Of outlawry on the part Of President
Baez, in ST. Domingo, against all persons who
have left since his arrival; by the increased
holiness of the leaders Of Porto Plata aud the
return from their hiding places of the refugee
adherents Of Cabral, and finally, in Hayti, by
the continued siege of Port an Prince, the
failure of Salnaves attempt to dislodge General
Hector from his position at Petionvile and the
swelling of the force Of the revolutionists to six
thousand, while the force of Salnave has been
reduced to five hundred, and famine has
already commenced ia the city. Floods and
revolution are no less dreadful than earth
quakes and volcanic eruptions, and the West
Indians seem to be exposed to all these evils as
well as to the scorching blaze of a tropical sun
and the deteriorating influences of their mix
ture of races.

The Hebrew Millennium Coming.

From the Old World, as in the New, we
have abundant evidence that the Israelite
people, after enduring humiliations unknown
to good old Job for their variety of shape and
acuteness of point, arc about to assert the in
destructibility of their race by the assumption
of the most shining rewards of the persistency
and purpose Of its sons. In England Mr..
Benjamin Disraei, welding in his youth but
the pen of scrivener's clerk, has mastered the
most powerful of the Norman nobility in poll
tics, foiled the Parliamentary thrusts of the
Talbots, the Towards and the Russels
of Bedford; refuted the polished university
ideas and arguments Of Gladstone, placed
the ''red box" Of the Treasury in his
brooches pocket, seized the sword of
State, championed the New Testament and is
very likely to prescribe to the archbishops the
component parts Of the sacred chrysm with
which the Prince of Wales WILL in the natural
order of events, be anointed as head of the
Church. In France we have seen another
child of Israel manage the imperial finances
with degree of exactitude precision and COM
prehensiveness of idea equalled only by the
method and vigor with which his imperial
master discharges the functions Of chief of the
State.
Here in the United States we cannot forget
that Carl Schurz, German Jew, contributed
the most valuable plank, of costly wood and
elaborate finish, which forms the binding joint
Of the great republican Presidential platform
adopted at Chicago. In the Democratic National
Convention now in session in New York we
find Mr.. August Belmont, another Jew, the
central power on the day of organization in
Tammany Hall and really controlling the
brains of the assemblage since-that is, con-
trolling ''der monish" and ''shent per silent"
Of the Convention, which is more than equiva-
lent to any second hand speech in the direc-
ton Of the brain of meeting
After such examples is il too much to say
that the Hebrew millennium is at hand, and
that the descendants of Father Abraham are
likely to revive the glory and the songs Of
David on both sides of the Atlantic?

The Situation in Europe-Is IL to Be Peace
or Ware


Our latest news from Europe revives ques-
ton which ia almost, If not entirely, stale.
The French government is Of opinion that an
immense standing army, maintained at vast
expense, is the best pledge Of peace. Minister
Rouher, the mouthpiece of the Emperor Ma
poleon, is in favor of peace, deprecates war,
recognizes the rights of nationalities and
admits that Germany is right in seeking unity;
but he insists that the interests of the nation
aities and the cause of peace are best advanced
by France maintaining an army large enough
to dominate Europe at will. This idea is as
French as 1t possibly can be. Austria, on the
other hand, accepting her position and intelli-
gently appreciating the altered condition Of
things in Europe, grants leave Of absence
to thirty-six thousand men IN the
standing army We have no hesitation
in saying that of the two Austria has adopted
the wiser course, and that in spite Of other
indications, the inference is fully justified that
the peace of Europe is not for the present to
be disturbed. The Servian difficulty has been
got over with singular ease, Turkish reforms
progress satisfactorily, Russia has ceased to
be aggressive, Prussia Is bent on consolida-
ton; everything, In Short justifies the opinion
that war in Europe is distant probability.
