The Mexican Press Law.

One of the things done by the Mexican
Congress recently has been the enactment
of press law by which the journals and
editors of that republic are to be controlled.
The law is quite liberal, and the onl y limit
placed upon the liberty of the press is due
respect for private life, morality and the
public peace. Offences against private lite
are punishable with from fifteen days 10 SIX
months imprisonment, AMI those against
morals with from one month to a year..
The juries that sit on press trials are to
know how to read and write, and shall not
be holders of public Office, SO that the news,
paper editors are at any rate to be shielded
from the power of illiterate persons, and
from any public officials whom they may
have offended.

TARBoRo, N. G., April 3-6 T IT.
With the existing ystery in this remarkable
murder trial it is due the country to state that
every means of defence was accorded the accused
and two of the ablest lawyers here were appointed
as their counsel, who so battled the prosecution
rs to BRING upon themselves the indignation O
the community. This excited the professional
ire of the lawyers, and by an appeal upon the
merely technical grounds OF the legality of Gen
5ckles order making negroes eligible on juries,
they prolonged the lives Of their clients over
twelve months The jury by whom The condemned
were tris d was selected by themselves from out
of one hundred, summoned of both races, but
only two of their own race were chosen and these
were the first to pronounce the terrible decree,
guilty.

BERLIN, April 2.-The naturalization treaty

America and the Confederation of the North
German States has been finally ratified by the
Federal Parliament. All the speakers praised
it with one voice, and it was almost unani.
mously approved by the members.
GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON, April 2.-In the House of Commons
this evening the adjourned debate ON the Irish
church was continued.
Mr.. Roebuck said he had ever been opposed
to the church establishment in Ireland, and
he considered himself bound to support the
resolutions of Mr.. Gladstone, though at the
same time he did not think that the church
was the worst ill of Ireland 500
Mr. Joseph W. Henley opposed the PROPOSE
tons of Mr.. Gladstone, and expressed the fear
that the introduction of such resolutions
would cause revival of Fenianism
Mr.. Robert Lowe quoted statistics to show
that out of one hundred of the population of
Ireland seventy-eight were Catholics, none
Presbyterians, and twelve belonged to the
Irish Protestant church establishment The
latter church was alone aided by government.
though the congregations were made I'M of
the wealthiest classes of the community.
Mr.. Lowe ridiculed what he termed the legal
quibbles and zig gag course of the Ministers:
such line of action would destroy all conf,
dence between the executive and legislative
departments OF the government. The Premier
had carried inconsistency and audacity to a
height which the House, consulting its dignity.
could not tolerate on topic so solemn as that
under discussion.
Sir John Gray gave full statistics of the
wealth, population and religious sects of Ire
land, and pointed out the absurd and dispro-
portloned attitude which the Irish church es-
adjustment assumed in the light of these fig
ures. t5Si -
Sir Stafford Northcote rose in defence of the
government. He said the resolutions before
the House ware merely intended to furnish
the liberal party with rallying cry, and he
stlgmatlzes them as worthless. A less vital
question should have been chosen for such a
purpose. He asserted that the ministry had
been consistent throughout this discussion
They had always said that measures such as
We're proposed in regard to the Irish church
were premature. He concluded by expressing
the nope that the House would yet pause for a
better consideration of the problem before it.
AT IL o'clock the debate was going on with
prospect of an unusually late adjournment.
