The special telegraphic news from Mexico
published In Wednesdays HERALD shows that
the political and social disorders Of that
unhappy country are fast changing from bad
70 worse. The Instructions in the States Of
Yucatan, Sinaloa and Guerrero which
followed almost Immediately the restoration Of
the republic showed clearly that anarchy is
the only constitutional form of government
known to tho Mexican people. But the
impeachment and deposition Of Governor
Antonio Gomez Cuervo, Of the State of Jalisco.
by the federal Congress, for having sanctioned
the summary execution Of party Of
notorious bandits, proves that the governing
class in that country regard the life, liberty
and happiness Of the citizen as Of little or no
value in comparison with their own petty
political ambitions. We would suggest to the
federal authorities to compare the action Of
Governor Cuervo in Jalisco with their own in
Queretaro, and to examine their consciences
as to their brutal murder Of the brave, chival-
rous and honest young prince, Macmillan,
in contrast with the just and legal
execution of the Jalisco bandits, from whose
terrors the people of that State were relieved
by the prompt action of Governor Cuervo in
February last. The consequence of this action
on the part of the government is that the
bandits of the whole country have concluded
to exercise their villanous profession with i'm
punity, sure Of protection from the general
government. They have formed themselves
into secret societies, and are operating on
more enlarged scale than ever before. Thus
all confidence being lost on the part of the
citizens, fresh Instructions are breaking out
of most formidable character. General
Alatorre, the pacifier of Yucatan, is reported
to have been defeated by General Negrete be-
tween the capital and Vera Cruz, and the
latter city is threatened. General Alatorre
asked for reinforcement of one thousand
Escobedo had also requested reinforcements
to aid in putting down the Queretaro rebellion,
but got none. This shows conclusively that
the eyes of the federal government are intent
upon the rebels, who threaten to cut off the
capital from its chief port and main point of
communication with the world. These two
rebelliOns, in the very heart of the country,
are enough to destroy the trade and commerce
of Mexico and seriously interfere with the
interests Of all foreign nations who have rela-
tons with the republic
How long will the United States tolerate this
taf Of oil
General Grant, after having put down our own
gigantic rebellion, proposed to send General
Phil Sheridan, then stationed on the Rio
Grande border, into that distracted country
and put an end to the petty rebellions there
he showed his far-sightedness, craftsmanship
and military ability, while the management of
our Foreign Office set forth Mr.. Secretary
Seward in his true light as short sighted,
trimming diplomat. lie wastes our money
and interferes with our destiny by pur-
chasing far-OG real estate in Alaska and
the shaky island of st. Thomas, while here
on our borders is one of the richest
and most prolific countries in the world that
General Grant would have obtained for the
mere cost Of keeping our troops during six
months campaign. This splendid idea of
General Grant would have been fought out by
his dashing lieutenant on that line without
governments would have rejoiced to see that
plague spot of the New World at length
cleaned out. Their commercial interests as
well as our own, require it, hut Mr..
Secretary Stewards eccentric tastes in
terfered II he wanted earthquakes and
sought ST. Thomas General Grant would
have secured an abundance of them in Mexico
And as regards European jealousy of the Mon
roe doctrine, he must see as well az Europe
does that Providence has destined this whole
Continent TO be under Uncle Sans CONTROL
and he should have allowed General Grant to
extend our dominion and influence just as
General Sir Robert Napier has done for Eng
land in Abyssina and as Napoleon means to
do for France ON the Spanish peninsula.
Neither England nor France is any more
disposed " interfere with the United
States in carrying out our destiny on
this Continent in the manner 40 opportunely
proposed by General Grant than we are to
hamper them in their respective East Indian
and Continental schemes. Moreover. with our
armies under such men as Ulysses s. Grant
and Phil Sheridan, they know better than TO
interfere with our following 1t up on that line
rs long as we see flt.
