4 cH4prER OF MEXIcIy FINANCE

We dare say people have not yet learned to
appreciate at its true value the energy which
has raised the Mexican Republic out of almost
homeless ruin. There must be capacity for
much good in people who can do all that
they have done under such adverse circum-
stances, and with such inadequate means The
letter of our own correspondent, published
yesterday, gave a curious glimpse OF part
of the financial quagmire In which the National
Government was long MISUNDERSTANDING
80 deeply that it is wonder how 1t ever got
out. 1t seems that in 1866, Gen Sanchez OchOa
attempted to negotiate a loan Of $40, 100000 in
San Francisco, for the purpose of obtaining
warlike material but the bonds would not
sell for even tenth of their nominal value,
and he accordingly came to New-lork to try
his luck in our markets. AT the same time
Gen. Carbajal, another commissioner of the
Liberal Government, was bargaining here
with Mr.. Daniel Woodhouse for a loan of
$50, 100000 in return for his services
in obtaining which Mr.. Woodhouse was to
receive concessions so enormous that the
mere list of them is bewildering. There
were over 1000 mines of so acres each;
there was the exclusive privilege of laying
heaven knows how many branches there were
countless rights of navigation; and the Mexi-
can Government was to pay for all the right
of way which the railway company might be
obliged to purchase, beside giving them, free
of cost, whatever materials of construction the
country was able to produce. Having been ex-
tricated from this very bad bargain through
the good offices of Mr.. Romero, Gen. Carbajal
proceeded straghtway to get himself into an
other. lie agreed to give the firm of Corlies
g. Co. S7JOO,OOO and railroad grant if they
would effect for his Government loan of
$50 10000. Here, again, Mr.. Romero figures as
the guardian angel of the National Treasury,
and the negotiation was broken OIL. Just mt
this date Gen. OchOa appeared upon the scene
with his $10,0O0000 worth of bonds. The ac-
commodating friend into whose hands he fell
was Mr.. Leonidas Haskell. That gentleman,
assuming to speak for himself and Gen. j. G.
Fremont, offered to place the loan and induce
the United States Government to guarantee it
for the trfling consideration Of $6,000,OO0 in
bonds; and the ready 0chOa was not only
willing to pay SG,0O0,0O0. but $SO0O,OOO, If Mr..
Haskell required it. Mr.. Romero, the only
Mexican official in this country who seems to
have been blessed with common sense in mat
ters of finance once more interfered, and his
Government refused to ratify the compact.
Certainly such a story of incompetency and
imprudence has not often been made public.
That the Mexican Republic has survived such
mismanagement is strong proof that it has the
elements of vigorous national life, and with
decently competent and honest administration
may rise to higher place in the community of
nations than it has ever held before. The APP
pointment Of Mr.. Romero.as Minister Of FL
nance is an evidence that President Juarez
appreciates one OF tho greatest wants Of

The suit for SANDER brought by Mr.. John
Dean against the former proprietor of The Sun
has been decided in favor of the defendant,
verdict which will have the hearty approval
of the community. A moments reflection
will convince everybody that the publisher
of newspaper, however excellent his IN
tentions, is in constant danger of doing In
Justice, and if he were to be Vigorously
mulcted in damages for every unintenlonal
misstatement, journalism would be the most
perilOus of all pursuits. In the present case 1t
seems that an utterly unfOunded story which
originally appeared in The National Intelligent
Ger was copied into The Sun without the knowl-
edge of the responsible editor, and was duly
credited to its source. There was no pretenSe
that the person who did it had any suspicion
or any reason to suspect that it was false; and
the moment Mr.. Beach's attention was called
to it he caused the fullest possible retraction to
be published. Yet lie unexpectedly sued
for $4,000 damages. Undoubtedly, the false
hood was gross and aggravating; but why did
not Mr.. Dean proceed against the original
propagator of itR To sue Mr.. Beach after he
had made a full and willing reparatlon, as far
as it was in his power to make one, and when
he was morally bameless in the matter. was
too much ike persecution.

The simple fact that there are nearly fifty
whisky dstilleries in this city, and that the
liquor can be bought for 81 25 gallon 90
cents less than the Government tax, is con-
elusive evidence of enormous frauds This has
been so since the adoption of the present tax
law. These distilleries are supposed to be
closed. The very fact of a distillery being in
operation is now primG facie evidence of
fraud. Notwithstanding the number of seizures
made in this city during the year past, there
have been but two or three cOndemnatOns. 1t
has been said that the great difficulty in bring
ing the persons involved in these shame
full frauds to justice is that there has
been no judge to sit in the trial
of criminal causes. But will the facts
bear out this statementY Convictions have
been made in this city within the past SIX
months for frauds upon the revenue. If one
man can be convicted, why not anOtherf If a
Circuit Judge refuses TO try criminal causes,
because no provision has been made for the
payment of his salary, we recommend either
that a subscription paper be drawn up and

DEMONSTRATIONS IN ALABAMA.

We rejoice that the withdrawal of the bill to
restore Alabama under a new constitution has
not resulted, as was generally supposed, III the
killing of the bill, which has been again Tin
substance) reported to the House by the Re
construction Committee. We regretted that
Mr.. Stevens should have seen fit to yield
to the clamor raised against his bill. We
hold that the concerted prescription and terror
ism whereby the Rebels of Alabama prevented
the ratification of that instrument by major
ity vote was a most culpabe conspiracy, which
should not be allowed to prevail Congress, in
recoiling before that conspiracy, comedies vlr-
tual triumph to the Rebellion. We knew that
Andrew Johnson had backslidden from his de-
claration that Loyal men, Black or White,
I" shall rule America" but did not believe Con-
gress could be induced to follow his example.
This certainly seems to us a step in that dlrec-
ton, and we therefore depore it,
We venture to suggest to the Republican ma
jOrty that the country is tired of agitation,
turmoil, chaos. and longs for restoration and
peace. The Rebels and their Northern allies
want the South kept dsorganized till after the
Presidential election. Their chief stock i'll trade
isIoompaint that ten States remain unrepre-
sehted in Congress, though they would keenly
deplore their being represented otherwise than
by unchanged Rebels. 1t is the plain duty OF
Congress to divest them of their pet grievance
at the earliest possible day. Every hour that
State remains unrepresented is a damage to
the Republican cause.
If there must be another election in Alabama
in order to ascertain more formally what all
know essentially, we insist that the votes al
ready taken shall be allowed to stand good.
Reopen the polls, if that must be; and let all
vote who have not already voted, with full
understanding that a majority of the entire
vote is to decide the questions at issue. TO

then offered an additional section, providing for
a reduction of duties on imports by 10 per cent,
which was lost by the vote of IL to 32. The

IRELAND,

The best hope for Fenianism Ia in the utter
inability of the new British Cabinet to cope
with the problem of Irish reform. The greatest
statesmen of England have acknowledged that
no question presses more severely upon the
attention of the Government than the question,
What shall be done to allay the Irish discon-
tent 7 Leaders of all parties have made this
the subject of the addresses which custom re-
ouires them periodically to make to their con-
stituents. Parliament has spent months in its
discussion Representatives of the great pollti-
cal bodies have treated it in elaborate essays.
The public has grown anxious and excited over
it. and the press has accepted it as the proml-
nent topic of the day. The Government has
tried severity and has tried partial concillatlon.
Both have failed. The Irish people are still
thoroughly disaflected. A general insurrectlon
of the island is still imminent. 1t is universally
admitted that Ireland groans under stupendo us
wrongs; that her Church Establishment is
cruel oppression, her Educational system an
outrage, her Land system perpetual aggrava-
ton. Yet the Ministry virtually confess that
they have no remedy to offer. The Chief-Sec-
retary for Ireland has no panacea but punch, anu
the only policy of the Premier is procrastlnaton'
Earl Mayo argued the other night that Ireland
ought to be-muSt be--happy because 1t con-
sumed so much whisky; and Mr.. Disraeh has
the hardihood to say that because 1T has en-
dured Injustice for 700 years it may safely De
trusted to suffer few years longer. Put OH
the day of restitution hold on to your usurped
glebcs and tithes as long as you can; keep the
Irish out of Parliament; keep them out oil the
schools; tax them and override them till the
very last moment; the tyranny may outlast
orr day. and let those who come after us pay
the reckoning. All the Ministry ask for, says
Mr.. Disraeli, is time. The fire is burning
fcrcely. but we cannot put it out until we
have deliberated for few months on the best
way to set about it. SO the great questions o1
Irish reform, which are for Great Britain the
menacng questions of the hour, are put OIL
Parliamentary reform, educational reform, Land
reform, church reform, are deferred to the next
session.
There is a crisis however, in all great revo'
lutions when time is the very thing OF al
things which cannot be granted. There is

that the streets shall be perfectly and almost instantly

our inhabitants has, within very brief PERIOD Deen

little chance before condemning him believe him an
honest hgh-mnded man. who almost all admit mas done

contingency which he could not and Is not required 10

SHOWS have fallen this Winter that 10000 families throw
their fth ashes and garbage In the streets and that IN
this busy growing city filth accumulates twice as rap
dly as i'm Boston Philadelphia 1t Will be seen what
labor is Judge Writings hands
We Give him few days to do his WORK % ana 9o nG

Judge Whiting has not yet been hearu on MS own oe
half before that Committee. 80
There many taxpayers who look with great suspl-
con upon the attempt 90 break up Judge Writings con
tract What has the city gain by IL Whose hands Is
il going nto Is 1t best TO go back TO the days OF Booe
spend million and half year for dirty streenl
G"A Citizen knows that we do not wish to
break Judge Writings contract-we only want
to enforce it, 1t is good contract for all par
ties, and only needs to be lived up to. And
that the Judge will find indispensable.
A Citizens averment that all the horses and
carts attainable would not suffice to clean the
streets forthwith hits the nail on the head.
Judge Whiting don't kROw hoW to clean the
streets. To cart all their mud from the inte-
rior of our City to dumping grounds on the
docks is impossible, and the attempt is blind
folly. But let the Judge make an arrange
ment with the Harlem Railroad to fill each
night cattle or frcight-car, run off on side
track at the south end of the Tunnel, Madison
and Union Squares, Cooper Institute, and Iryon
Row, respectively, and let those cars be run
out to Forty -second-st. so fast as filled, and
sent off with the Milk Train to the farmers up
the road and the problem is solved. The dirt
will pay the Railroad for taking it away, and
Mr. Whiting may thus clean the interior half
of the City at a fraction of his present outlay.
His error lies in clinging, in this latter half of
the XIXth century, to instrumentalites that
pertain to the XYIIIth, and were long since
outgrown.-Ed. Trib.l
