THE HOPELESS CONDITION OF MEXICO. In
the HERALD of yesterday we published long
letter from the pen Of our special correspond
ent in Mexico city. If anything more were
wanted to prove that Mexico was in truly
hopeless condition, surely that proof was sup
piled by the letter referred tc. Mexico, in the
interests of liberal institutions, killed of Maxi
milan. Liberal Institutions we are sorry to
be compelled to say, have net pro6ted by the
result Matters have grown worse month by
month. 1t is now no longer possible to resist
the conviction that the real salvation of Mexico
depends upon the change Of her flag. The
Star Spangled Banner is her only safety. If
she will not come under he flag we must
spread the flag over her. The flag of the
United States is the only guarantee Of her sal
vation.

Our News from All the Ends Of the
In the HERALD of yesterday we gave to the
American public news not only from Washing
ton and from every American centre, but from
all the ends and almost all the centres of the
earth. Not to speak of kilograms, we gave
letters from our special correspondents at the
headquarters of the British army in Abyssinia,
at Rio Janeiro, at Buenos Ayres, in Mexico,
all full of the most particular details. What
the British army did in Abyssinia, what is
taking place among the monarchical and repub-
lican Spaniards of South America, and how
miserably Mexico is justifyiug her right to
place among the nations-all this the HERALD
brought before not only the American public
but the world.
We should not have mentioned these circum-
stances but for the fact that the world seems
slow to learn the real character and province
of modern journalism. We have been trying
to teach governments and journalists what it is
they can and what it is they ought to do. They
are slow to learn, and until they learn we feel
it to be our duty to harp on the same cherd

TIE Prospect.

By appointment the Senate, as High Court
of impeachment, meets on Saturday to vote
on the several charges and specifications of
''high crimes and misdemeanors' against
Andrew Johnson as President Of the United
States. The defendant and his friends are
reported to be confident Of an acquittal; the
impeachers profess to be as confident of
conviction. The chances of securing the
ty0 cr three doubtful votes upon which the
issue will be determined seem to be in favor of
the President. One thing, at all events, we
think may be regarded as certain, viz: un-
less the impeachers are well assured that they
have the required two-thirds vote there will
be another postponement even though all the
members Of the Senate be present Nor is it
certain that the radicals will run the hazards
of Fowler and Frelinghuysen after they have
been so terribly shocked with the desertions of
Fessenden, Trumbull, Henderson and Grimes.
Hence, as Johnsons acquitta will be the con-
demnation Of his accusers, they will most pro-
badly defer their Judgment until they can make
up a better case. Lastly as it is probable that at
least one or more Of the five Senators who were
reported sick on Wednesday evening will still
be sick on Saturday morning, the prospect of
decisive vote tomorrow is not very promising,
assuming that the impeachers, in counting
noses, are still satisfied that they have enough.

The New Tax Hill.

The Committee of Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives have reported new
Internal Revenue Tax bill, which, SO far as the
taxes are concerned, is substantially the law in
force. The tax on incomes Is untouched; the
tax on whiskey remains the same; the tax on
cigars, cheroots, &C., all kinds is ten dollars
per thousand; the tax on gas is reduced from
twenty-five cents TO ten cents per thousand
cubic feet. The manufacturers relief law.
lately passed, is not disturbed. The general
object of this new bill is indicated by its title.
to wit, can act to reduce into one act and to
amend the laws relating to internal taxes"
Accordingly all the laws on internal taxes
are merged into this one act, and an indcpend-
ent internal revenue department is established
for the more efficient execution Of the law.
The Secretary Of the Treasury will have no
more to do with II than with any other depart
ment. The Commissioner of this Revenue De-
partment Is to organize it under six divisions of
labor on as many different classes of taxes.
The provisions on distilled spirits cover fifty
sections Of the bill and embrace all sorts of
precautions against whiskcy frauds, including
the tax at the distillery In the form OF peculiar
and very ingenious stamps on the barrel. The
bill has gone back 10 the committee, and when
reported again II will be for two or three
,liys discussion in view Of It's passage. The

our AustrnInsi1n Wall Dispatches - The
Feniun Attempt on Prince Alfred's Life.
BY way Of Aspinwall we received yesterday
the Ausralasian mails of the steamship Rakaia,
which were landed at Panama on the 4th
instant, furnishing our special written de-
spatches from the antipodes, embracing letters
from our correspondents in New South Wales
and New Zealand, dated at Sydney on the lst
and Wellington on the 9Th of April. This cor
respondence, which we publish to-day enables
us to present to the American public com
plete pen and ink photograph of the situation
of affairs existing on the Australian Cont
nent, which is Of surprising interest, whether
we regard it in a political, commercial,
social or moral point Of view while
the rapidity with which the intelligence has
been transmitted to the HERALD establishment
renders its reception Of worldwide impor-
tance, as affording positive evidence of the sue
cessful progress towards full completion of the
great revolution in trade and travel between
Asia and Europe, which will 80 COM
pletely turn the tide from the Peninsular and
Oriental highway after the completion of the
Pacific Railroad that San Francisco and New
York will become at once the great entrep6ts
and distributing reservoirs of the commerce
and news of the East from Hindostan to
Hiogo, from Pekin to Manchooria, and thence
to the countries lying south Of the Asiatic
Archipelago, including even the territory of
our royal debtor in FIJI.
Our correspondent in New South Wales de-
tails. in fine narrative and with painful minute
ness, the circumstances attending the attempt
made by the Fenian O'Farrell to murder Prince
Alfred of England, by shooting him at place
named Clontarf, near Sydney, on the 10Th Of
March; aud the elaboration Of this alarming
event--Hrst reported in our cable kilograms
will command universal attention, as indicative
of the exact working of some one Of those
ssdark confederacies' to which Mr.. Disraeli has
so pontedly referred In Parliament.
The receipt of this batch of our mail de-
spatches in New York brings this city within
thirty-Hve days of Australia; and If the English
