From the "Two Republics" City Of Mexico.

years is big with revolution, usurpation,
corruption and wrong The world may
well look upon the Republic of the
North as an anamoly among nations.
Her own sins are thick as stars in the
heavens and black as Erebus. Still, be-
cause she is strong and imperious, she
assumes the right to become the accus-
er, and sits in Judgment upon Mexican
morals and Mexican government. The
spectacle is stranger yet, when it is con
sidered how deeply recreant that Gov
ernment has been toward the eleven

When it is admitted that 10000 fam
lies in the New England States have
been thrown out of employment and
turned loose upon the streets to steal or
starve when it is known that 10000
men walk daily the streets of New York
city, asking for work and finding none
when like proportion of the populace
in all the Atlantic States is In as desper-
ate circumstances still more, when we
consider how three millions of people in
the Southern States are on the verge of

into perdition, if it fails to win power
and make slaves of eight millions Of
people; would it not be moro fitting
that instead of teaching morals and |
preaching lessons of magbanimity to
others, she should put her hands upon
her mouth, and her mouth in the dust ? |
The simple fact that she sees faults and !
abroad is proof enough of
Puritan blindness, madness and impu-
denee. Who constituted the Yankee |
nation judge of Mexican Morals and
economy ? and by what right does she
presume to hold this prerogative Mex
ico-to- days not what she ought to
be but where on Gods footstool is
there a sadder sight than the great North

her ruin? A majority of infamous
Radicals-reekless of consequences or
justice or humanity-have legislated the
people of eleven States of the Union
into condition that is horrible fer civil
ization to contemplate.

The EngIish PoIitical Crisis.


What will be tho great topic of the
hour? Scarcely the Irish Church 0,ues-
ton, for virtually that is settled already.
Shall il be the question whether tho
queen is or Is not entitled to the respect
of heRsubjeets? The radical party seem
very much inclined to put that in the
foreground. The Daily News used lal-
guage yesterday which has never before
been applied to the reigning Sovereign.
1t insinuated that the relations of the
liberal party toward the Crown were be-
coming very unsettled, and something
more than the fate of Ministry depend

this morning, takes the same line, and
asks whether the radicals arc to march
to the polls to the refrain Of Ebenczer
Dlliot's hymn, God save the people?'
That will not be nice beginning for
the new electors. The blame Of having
originated this issue is laid at Mr.. Dis.
raelli's door. He has given the House
of Commons to understand, in an indirect
manner that the Queen agrees with him
on the Irish question. Suppose she docs.
Suppose, with the frmness of her race,
she adheres to her opinions? Will the
radical party propose to dethrone herr
Well, yes, they aseure us--they are Viii
ing to go as far as that. Tery likely -
but what about tue people? Is the mon
archy really fallen away SO much in
popular estimation as Mr.. 6 Goldwin Smith
asserts? OF course, if the Queen is to
be thrown overheard the moment she
differs with the radical majority on any
question, there is an end to the security
of our present constitutional Govern
ment. Its all very hue to make loud
professions Of loyalty when a Liberal
Ministry is in office, but if loyalty is to
be exchanged for dark menaces when
the conservatives happen to be the advi-
sers of the Severe gn, we may know what
to expect before many years are oyer.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Secre-
tary of State sent to the House to-day a
report from Elliot c. Cowdin, one of our
commissioners to the Paris exposition,
on the subject Of silk and silk manufac-
lures, which says it is as easy for the
United States as it is for England to i'm.
mediately supply herself with raw silk.
On reaching New York, by way
Of California, il would be dis
tributed not only among our own
manufacturers, but would be distributed
to foreign countries. More especially
may America be encouraged to prosecute
the industry in view Of the exemption Of
our continent from the malignity among
silk worms now prevailing in Europe.
No action has yet been taken on the
nomination Of Colonel Burnside as
Second Auditor of the Treasury. 1t is
understood that the movement for his
appointment originated with his western
friends.
Ex-senator Foster has been urged by
his friends to accept the appointment
as one Of the Judges Of the Court Of
Claims, to supply the vacancy caused by
the death Of Judge Wilmot, and they say
be has consented TO do so.

ReheIIion I'm Tennessee.

The Louisville Journal is grossly in
error in supposing we have no rebellion
in Tennessee. 1t draws the inference
from the fact that our dear Governor is
not frightened. and swears he can take
care of the State with his loyal mill
tia, recruited from the penitentiary as
fast as necessary. The Journal is right
enough as to the Kuklux, but 1t is
wholly wrong as to the rebellion. We
have a rebellion here against all good
government and good order, rebellion
in which tens of thousands are engaged,
bound together by horrid oaths, and
banded in leagues, loyal leagues for
the purpose of rapine and outrage. There
is no mistake about the rebellion.
The highways and byways, the idle fields
and lying ballot boxes, the Migrants and
crimes, which Astounding, crowd and
blacken the escutcheon Of the State,
amply attest it. Brownlow and his
friends may we'll be fearless as to the
kuk-kluk myth. The backbone of the
rebellion is in their hands and they WELD

Do You Call this Repudiaton I

On the back of the legal tender notes
issued under the act Of February %,
1862, the following pledge is given:
This is legal tender for all Debts,
Public and Private except Duties on I'm.
ports and Interest on the Public Debt
and is Exchangeable for United States
six per cent. Twenty years Bonds re-
deemable at the pleasure of the United
States after Five Years."
TIE Five Years have expired. Is
it reputation to redeem the bonds with
these notes Again, see back of notes
issued under the act of July III, 1862,
and read the following:
"This note is legal tender for all
Debts Public and Private except duties
on Imports and Interest on the Public
Debt: And is receivable in payment for
all Loans made to the United States"
There we have it lis receivable in
payment for all loans made to the United
States" Can anything be more explicit
The bondholders loaned greenbacks
to the Government, and the Govern
ment says it's notes shall be re.
csived in payment thereof. Now that
greenbacks are worth considerable
more than at the time the bondholders
paid for their bonds, and as they are
exchangeable for United States six per
cent. twenty years bonds, redeemable at
the pleasure of the United States after
FIVE years." we would again ask Is it re
pudiation to redeem the notes in green
backs 2-Erchange.
