bound for Canada with assisted" emigrants
but the vessels do not fill up rapidly. Mr.
Disraeli has calculated, perhaps, that every
Englishman emigrated is loss of just one to
the manhood suffrage cause and gain to the
same amount for the Derby party at the next
general Parliamentary election. But the Man.
chester men are very apt at figures also, and
may have reckoned up the matter in exactly
the same light. So 1t is very probable that
the British workingmen may prefer to take
out 'their papers" in England and not in
British Columbia, and remain at home for that
purpose.

something as to the ways and means to be
employed to secure the assistance of United
States ilibusters and adventurers. Accord
ingly, if some Americans are joining his stan
dard at Brownsville, it is, we feel assured,
through the inducement of some big job, some
railway, land or mining speculation; and on
this tack, with little ready cash, he may
pick up on the border American followers
sufficient to carry him through to the Mexican
capital.
The generally demoralized and revolutionary
condition of the Mexican States makes the
present crisis a fine opportunity for Santa
Anna. He is an old campaigner and the
ablest soldier ever produced by Mexico. With
Judgement, backed by few thousand men,
at any point in the country, he will probably
be able to fuse all the chiefs in the field against
Juarez and supplant him without much diff
fculty At all events, the Santa Anna move
ment begins to assume shape suggestive Of
danger to Juarez, and the worst Of it, we sus-
pect, is yet to come; for the old man at
Jamaica believes as much in his destiny as did
Napoleon while arranging his return from Elba.

of an ONCE which demanded more labor and admtp-
stratve ability than gained for its occupant pass
ing popularity or pelf.
Mr. Craven is a scion OF an old and well known
family many of the members Of which have faithfully
served their country; among them his brother the
the Commodore who at one time commanded the
steamship Niagara. AS an engineer Mr.. Craven had
much to contend against but he succeeded In max

which controls the expenditures and directs the i'm

Dexico-Movemcnts Of Santa Annals Ennis
saries.


saries.
From the HERALD correspondent at Browns
vile, Texas, we are informed that Santa
Annals Brownsville agent had purchased four
hundred horses, with equipments and rifles,
and that on an understood signal from Negrete
or Ortega movement will be made on Mon
terey; that Santa Anna's filibusters will strike
Bagdad by the l4th inst; that they are
fully prepared to take the place, and wish to
act before the return of General McCook
Omitted States commanding officer on that bor-
der); that there is intense excitement in
Brownsville, on the United States side of the
Rio Grande and in Matamoros, opposite on
the Mexican side, and that some Americans
are joining Santa Annas movement.
We published some days ago the news that
well organized and well equipped band, four
hundred strong, had appeared in the field in
behalf of Santa Anna in the central Mexican
State of which the city of Queretaro is the
capital and putting this and that together we
conclude that Santa Anna, through his money
and his emissaries, has powerful faction at
his back in different parts of the Mexican re-
public that the several detachments nnder-
stand each other, and that the old ex-Dictator
is only waiting to get respectable force on
the warpath before making his appearance
once more in person on Mexican soil, with a
flaming pronuncianaiento against Juarez as an
incompetent, tyrannical and wasteful admin
istrator of the central government.
Santa Anna is doubtless fully advised Of all
the various revolutionary movements on foot
in the several Mexican States, and knows the
heads of all these factions and that they can
be wheeled into line in common movement
against Juarez. His late visit to New York,
including his troublesome sojourn at Staten
Island, cost him vast amount of money through
the operations Of land sharks in the shape Of
sduiring friends bqt still they taught him

ENGLISH Colonixation In North America.
The Colonial Secretary of England has
officially informed the House Of Commons that
the Queens government considers 1t very
desirable to promote the colonization of her
Majesty's possessions in North America by an
emigrant settlement from the parent stock,
and that the opening of the lands lying between
Lake Superior and the Pacific coast will be
encouraged by the home authorities at an
early day after the adjustment Of final set
Element with the Hudson Bay Company. This
means, in other words, that Great Britain is
anxious to carry out her long-cherished idea Of
running line of subject colonists, held to the
soil under land tenure rules, across this Con-
tinent to the territorial border of the United
States on the Pacific.
The citizens of the Union can have no objec-
ton to such an undertaking. John Bull pro-
per-hard- -fisted, enduring and brave, without
the "snob"-makes an excellent pioneer, and
miles of fertile lands lying waste in the region
indicated. Free emigrants from England and
Wales, encouraged by new religion and
the choice of any number of wives, enabled
Brigham Young to convert frowning wilder
ness into rose garden, and certainly the same
class Of men will do just as much for Queen
Victoria, provided the Sovereign furnishes
ships, provisions, clothing and funds, leaving
the matter Of religion q subject for future con-
sideration under the Gladstone Church Sus-
pensory bill, and the matrimonial question just
as IL was when the MayAower landed at
Plymouth rock.
Every Englishman' debarked on the North
American Continent constitutes a source Of
wealth--wealth to the United States-as there is
no doubt but at each point of colonization Eng
land will have planted citizen nucleus Of free
men who will pledge their lives, their fortunes
and sacred honor" to the Gag Of the Union
when the proper moment for their complete
enfranchisement arrives.
Our only fear with regard TO tho scheme is
that the Colonial Secretary will not be very
successful In his emigrant plan. The tories
appear anxious 10 promote an adult exodus
from England just at present. There ere q

The Omnibus Restoration Bill.

The bill providing for the restoration to
representation in the two houses of Congress
of the States of North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Louisiana, in
pursuance of the laws of reconstruction as car
ried out by said States, and with certain
other conditions imposed by the bill which will
be readily accepted, has passed the Senate
against only some half dozen dissenting votes.
We presume that it will pass the House with
out much delay, and that in the course of a
few weeks, perhaps, the six States above
named will be readmitted to the seats in the
House and the Senate which they abandoned
for the Southern Confederacy in 196O-6l, and
from which they have been excluded ever
since.
But what of the Presidents veto? 1t is
understood that he will veto no more of these
reconstruction or restoration bills. A bill for
the admission of Arkansas was passed into his
hands the other day, and it is given out that
he will permit it to become law by allowing
the ten days which he is entitled to hold it to
expire without saying anything on the subject.
We conclude, therefore, that both these bills
will be allowed to take their course, and that
so within a few weeks perhaps, seven Of the ten
outside rebel States will be restored to full COM
munion in the general government with radical
delegations, to begin with, in both houses.
Their admission will be an important matter
touching the Presidential contest and the
issues involved in it.
First, the seven States so admitted will be
entitled to vote in the Presidential election,
and in this view the democracy will under
stand the Importance of the nomination of Mr..
Chase as their candidate. His name would
give them the negro balance of power in pro-
badly every one of these seven States. Other
wise the odds are against them Secondly, as
these States are not to be admitted until they
shall have respectively ratified the constitu-
tional amendment known as article fourteen,
nor until that amendment shall have at least
de jure become part and parcel of the constitu-
ton, their admission will involve the incorpo-
ration of said amendment into the constitution.
What then? Then with the admission of
said States the constitution will affirm-the
excepting Indians not taxed )" that represen-
tation and suffrage shall go together, universal
or restricted, as each State for itself may
adopt; that certain classes of rebels shall con-
tinue to be disfranchised and disabled from
holding Office till absolved by a two-thirds
vote of each house of Congress that the obli-
cations of the national debt shall be held
sacred; that no rebel debt shall be recognized
and no claims for emancipated slaves, and
that Congress shall have power by all needful
legislation to enforce the provisions Of this
article.
It will thus be seen that the admission of the
bills will materially modify the questions and
the chances Of tho Presidential contest.

Chase or Pendleton-win or Lose il the
Question.

Chase or Pcndleton-win Lose Is tho
Question.
The chances for the next Presidency depend,
we believe, upon the action Of the Democratic
Convention which is to meet in this city on the
Fourth of July. The democratic party, or, as
we think it should be called, the conservative
party, has the best prospect for electing its
candidate if it act wisely, Notwithstanding the
military reputation of the radical candidate.
The mass of the people have become disgusted
with the Jacobinism, corruption and extrava-
gance of the radicals, and earnestly desire
change. They begin to be alarmed for the
future of our glorious country under the rule
Of a faction that is centralizing the government
into an oligarchy and military despotism
However much they may esteem General
Grant for his military services in conquer
ing the rebellion, they cannot endorse him
and are not disposed to cast their votes
for him as the candidate of this atrocious party
which is working to destroy the constitution
and civil liberty for mere party purposes. The
elections that have taken place during the last
few months in the States, both on the Atlantic
and Pacific sides of the Continent, show unmis-
takably the current Of popular sentiment
against the radicals, and there is every reason
to believe that even General Grant cannot save
this revolutionary party from defeat next
November If the democrats should nominate an
acceptable candidate for President.
The question, then, is narrowed down to the
availability and suitability Of the democratic
nominee. For this position two men loom up
prominently above all the rest named-George
H. Pendleton and Chief Justice Chase. The
former appears to be the favorite Of q large
party in the West, and the latter of the populous
and wealthy Central and Eastern States. The
Western democrats seem to be Influenced
by their admiration for Mr.. Pendleton person
ally and for his views on questions of national
nnance, and we freely admit he is popular
man, brilliant statesman, patriot, and has,
on the whole, broad and correct opinions on
financial matters. More than that, we are
satisfied his views generally, both on the ma
tional finances and the political questions of
the day, are acceptable to q majority of the
people. But, as we will show presently, he is
not an available candidate; for his war record
would defeat him, and the moneyed and bond
holding democrats Of the North would become
either lukewarm or hostile in the contest. Mr..
Chase has become the choice Of great part Of
the Northern democrats because Of his con-
servative course on the impeachment trial and
Of his noble resistance to military despotism
in the South and defence Of civil rights, and
because there is the best prospect Of electing
him.
We care nothing for men or parties-for
