MEXICO, Nov. 10, 1868.
so far as Is known here nothing definite has ss
yet been done with reference TO the Imprisonment OF
Mr.. Alfred II. Green at Durango. Private letters
have been received here stating that some weeks
dnce Mr.. Green. who IL engaged in mining business
In that vicinity, had presented 20 him draft for
payment which had his acceptance forged Mr..
Green declared II 70 be and declined to pay It.
Having been brought before the Judge In order to
enforce his paying Its amount which was thrty-four
dollars, he pcrsistentiy refused to do declaring
that the paper was vaiueless. No proof was intro
duced 20 prove his signature; but without form or
authority Il s represented that the Judge gave an
order srrestng and imprisoning him until no
shouid pay. Al the latest dates he remained In
prison unwilling 70 subject himself to further de-
mands by consentn9 TO pay this unjust one. Gov
crnor Palacio. OF Durango, happens 10 be here at
this time and has been applied TO- Tho Judge who
10 claimed 10 have committed this outrage. Is said
does not bear very good character or record, and
lis stated tnat Governor Palacio has promised to
make inquiry into the matter and secure justice to
the prisoner. IN one OF tho letters received from
although he ~ suffering, yet the government or
nation should not be considered as actually culpabc
Tor tho outrage committed upon him by q petty
official and ne seems 70 believe that his wrong will
be righted soon. IL Ia possible that the prolonged
absence OF the Governor OF the State at this capital
has been his misfortune and that ofilcer will very
soon see that the real offender be punished.
There has been rum0r quite prevalent which, In
fact has appeared In the public prints, that Mr..
Romero would be sent ~ the United states again as
Minister, and that dovernor Paiacio would be Invited
to the portfolio OF the Treasury. The statement has
been coutradcted also by the press, and Mr.. Romero
has been understood 70 have corrected the rumor IN
private circles Your correspondent thinks t hardly
possible tnat such change Will be made In the Cabi
net although "conndential" whsperings will not
yet let the nsttsr drop wnateyer @ the sdmnistra-
tain that the question OF Mr.. Romero's return TO the
United STATES Minister has not yet been discussed
Neyertheiess i. Is Of course among the possibities
that the intimacy between General Grant and Mr..
Romero which Ia often referred TO here, may Induce
the government to the opinion that u would be \
wise and proper diplomacy Its part TO insist upon
Mr.. Romero's return TO washington life.
The siolo ar OF last evening has the following:-
The telegraph announces this morning thai General
Grant has been elected President OF the United states
This triumph of the republican party, which has me
glory of having restored the Union and OF having
should congratulate itseif fdf General Grant n the
sincere friend OF our independence, and during his
getcsy oppose GIiousterng expeditions against our
country and that he will not admit OF the idea Of in
ieryenLon in our internal AFFAIRS.
