Yesterdays news from Mexico seems TO in
volve little piece Of what is commonly called
In the dramas poetical justice. II tells Of an
attempt to enact in the national palace one Of
those scenes that SO frequently occur on the
Mexican highways and byways. Robbery is
the chosen activity of the people. Plundering
an isolated mansion or the passengers of
diligence-killing, perhaps, one or two Of said
passengers '.pour e,sc0u,ager les autres''-plun-
dering, in fact, anybody and everything that is
worth plundering and accessble-furnishes at
once the great industry and the chosen
pastlme Of the people. Government furnishes
no adequate protection of the roads and makes
no example Of the criminals and this has
been special indication OF the weakness of
authority In that country. And finally this en-
te-prising spirit OF robbery has pushed its way
70 the capital, and, as II to show exactly how
helpless the government Is, exercises itself and
lays its plans under the very noses Of officials.
Not only is government helpless against rob-
berry on the roads, but it can barely save its
own palaces and the national treasury against
money loving adventures like this Colonel
Esteva. No doubt the money was the real
object and the threatened assassination of
Juarez was only thrown in to gloss the event
with political character.
Such an event as an invasion Of the national
palace by the brigandage Of the road puts the
disordered condition Of the country in the
strongest light and shows that the triumph of
the republican government in the recent
struggle has not practically resulted in favor
Of the safety of property or security of
person. In that regard clearly affairs are
worse than ever, and the country is on the
downward road and must sooner or later fall
either prey to the savagery OF her
people or into the hands Of some power strong
enough to sustain society. Mexico is strange
contradiction. She seems to herself to have
been strong enough 10 drive out the foreign
foe, yet she is not strong enough to maintain
order; and this latter fact should correct her
erroneous notion as to the former. She did
not drive out the foe. We did that for her,
and then we left her to herself; and that was
a blunder She is learning now the lesson Of
sanding of that will open the eyes of her citi-
zens to the fact that the only safety for society
in Mexico is for her TO become part of the
United States. She gravitates into the circle
Of our States by chat Irresistible law that COM
pels feebler communities to escape annihila-
ton by identifying their national life with that
of their stronger neighbors.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s-The Committee of the

dent to-day. The joint resolution and memorial
of the Legislature to the President, as Com

Whereas, 1t has come to the kno wledge OF the
General Assembly that in many portions of the
State the civil authorities have not jet assumed
the discharge OF the duties of their respective
offices under the present State government, in
consequence of their resignation in some cases
and want of time TO quality IN others;
And ochereds, In consequence of the want of
such civil organizations in many of the counties
In this State laws are neither respected nor
obey ed and violence has been committed In
many cases upon human life, numbers of peace
able men have been forced to leave their homes,
others have been compelled to. emigrate from
the State, society is fast vergng to q state of
anarchy, officers have been intimdated from
the discharge of their duty, and others have
been forced to resign and vacate their
offices. These and many other acts OF
violence have been committed growing out of
the delay in perecting the civil Organizations as
aforesaid. We are satisfied that the people, aud
society generally, and the best interests of the
whole country, and the cause of peace, law, aud
order in this State, require the immediate pro
lection of an armed force be detailed by the
President OF the United States TO aid the au.
thority OF the Constitution in such portions of
the State as may be hereafter designated. In
view of the approaching exciting election, and
absence of the usual legal restraints thrown
around the people on such occasions, and the
necessity for such projections afterwards, it
is, therefore, hereby t.

head, brother of Theodore Brodhead who was
wounded on Friday during the struggle with
two robbers named Charles Orm aud William
Brooks, at the Delaware Water Gap, In which
Theodore was instantly killed, is worse this
morning, and fears are entertained of his re-
covery. Popular feeling is very strong, and it
is thought that if Thomas dies it will be diff
cult to keep the citizens from taking the pri-
soners by force from the Stroudsburg Jail and
lynching them, in revenge for the double mur-
der. Nothing is thought of or talked about in
this section of the country but the murder.
Theodore Brodhead's funeral yesterday morning
was very largely attended. Endeavors are
being made to have the murderers tried at the
present term of court, so as to avoid the delay
of three months. The people demand speedy
justice. The prisoners are greatly depressed.

FIRST EDITIO N
Statement of Alexander Delmar,
Director Of the Bureau of Sta
tistics, of Receipts and Ex-
penditures of the Gov
ernment During
the Past Three
Years.

IMr. Alexander Delmar having been legis-
late out of Office by Congress, and having until
the first OF January next only in which to render
the science OF statistics ridiculous, has made
q desperate effort to bolster up the reputation
planks of the Democratic platform by
the "cxhibt" from which we quote all
The material portions below. Having
given the mastery and irrefutable statements
of Messrs. Wells and Atkinson, we permit expir
ing Democracy to give this last financial gasp
son6dent that the most superficial reader viii
at once detect It's sopnistres and contradictions.
An insight into Mr.. Delmar's utter recklessness
and untrustworthiness is afforded by the fact
that he anticipates on the first of January
next balance in the national Treasury of only
S2s 600, 900, in gold and currency combined; and
this despite the unquestionable fact that there
ia now accumulated more than three times this
amount in gold alone, while the receipts from
customs for fell three months are to be
added to it. Mr.. Delmar evidently
anticpa es the election of Seymour and a
Democratic Congress, and trusts to both to
being legslated back into his sinecure. So he
perverts facts and figures with reckless hand'
in order 10 contribute to his own resurrection,
figuring up a deficiency of 1854, 600 before
the first of July next by doubling the Con.
tures; by placing the gold revenue
from customs at $l5O,OOO,OOO only, in
place of Sl7S, 100000, the annual aver
age during three years past; and by pulling
down the entire annual receipts from internal
revenue to $I22, 900, 900. As fnancier, Delmar
totally eclipses his past record as statistican,
and deserves to rank as a statesman of the
first Democratic water.-EDIToR EVENING TELE'
