Mexico.

The latest atrocity perpetrated by the revo-
lutionist bandit, Leon Chavez, on the plains
of Jalisco, is recorded in letter February
29) from our special correspondent at Browns
vile, which we published yesterday. The
details are almost incredible. Chavez and his
band had previously attacked and taken Tepatit-
Ian, carrying off thousands of dollars and all
and other wealthy people. A subsequent SINH
lar assault was made by them on the town Of
Zapotlanejo, but proved unsuccessful, and they
left for the mountains. Not long afterwards,
however, they returned to the plains and
attacked, took and burned part of the Coli
milo plantation buildings, robbing all the
people and killing the overseer. Thence they
went to Matatlan, but the armed men of the
place outnumbered them and they were obliged
to retire. After disappearing for several days
large number of them, with their faces
Masked falling by night upon q gay dancing
party in the San Pedro gardens, seized and
carried away six beautiful daughters of
the wealthest families. The next morning
one of these unfortunate victims was found
in the same gardens "a raving lunatic her
hair had been shaven, her breast cut open and
her person violated. She was nearly naked.
On her was found letter from Chavez saying
that unless two hundred thousand dollars in
gold was sent to his camp in the mountains
west of Guadalajara all Of the other FIVE
ladies would be similarly treated. The money
was sent, and after Chavez received it-and It
had to be carried to him on mule with
single servant-he and his companion fiends
fell upon the ladies and outraged them They
then tied them on to mules and left them in
charge of the servant who brought them the
money
Such is our correspondents account Of this
revolving outrage. 1t vividly illustrates the
wretched internal condition of Mexico
Afflicted by chronic revolutionary mania,
what hope remains that the grievous political
and social disorders of this unhappy country

federacy are said to recommends pro-

tive about the vexed question as to whether
Mr.. Whiting Is compelled to remove the snow
as well as the dirt, and decides in the negative;
but he does not think that the streets could be
better kept. The Corporation Counsel also
agrees with Mr.. Schultz that no contract could
be devised sufficiently large or minute in its
details to meet all the varying exigencies of
one winter in New York. In this case what Is
to be done? Clearly to have the streets
cleaned without any contract at all, but by
responsible parties who will be held account
able for the proper performance of their duties.
The Commissioners are evidently at variance
In their views upon the matter. The con-
tractor wants to throw up his contract, and
Recorder Hackett thinks that there is no law
to make new one and deplores the idea Of
releasing Mr.. Whiting under the circum-
stances. 1t was insinuated in the testimony of
Mr. Whiting that several people were partners
or had an interest in the contract to Devoe
Il Knapp, and the name of Horace Greeley
was mentioned as one Of them. It is hardly
credible that Mr.. Greeley had anything TO do
with SO dirty a job. The testimony, to say the
least, is interesting, but it will not clean the

More Interesting Testimony About tn,
Streets.

The progress Of the investigation concerning
the condition of the streets and the Whiting
contract continues to eucidate some interest
ing opinions and to extract some curious facts
from the horrible piles of filth and snow that
barricade the sidewalks. There appears to be
a serious difference Of opinion as to the fidelity
with which Mr.. Whiting has adhered to his
contract. Peter Cooper thinks that he has
performed his duties faithfully. Peter and as
many of the Citizens Association as half a
dozen carriages could accommodate rode
around the city in the last hot season, and
were astonished at the cleanly condition of
the streets. For himself and the Association
he would say that the streets were cleaned
according to contract; and with this dictum
we suppose the people ought to be satisfied,
because Mr.. Cooper, as is well known, drives
his ancient wagon as assiduously as any man
in the city through all its highways and by
ways.

The Cotton Market and Cotton Prospects.
The extraordinary rise in the price of Ameri-
can cotton within short period shows two
things-frst, that cotton spectators had made
incorrect calculations as to the crop; and,
second, that with all the efforts of British and
other manufacturers to do without or to substi-
tute something else for the long staple article
get along without it, We see now that the
real or pretended estimates of the amount Of
last years crop were too high, though the cot
ton spectators and manufacturers were en-
abled, under these false estimates, to bring the
price down to ten cents q pound, and even
lower. The planters of the South generally
were in such pressing need of money that they
were compelled to sell at this low and unre-
munerative rate. Still, those who could afford
to hold their cotton back from the market did
not sell, and it is believed there is a consider
able amount yet in the hands of the planters or
parties in the interior of the Southern States.
The latest news from Texas shows that large
amount, and much more than was expected, is
now coming out of that State under the stimu-
lation of higher prices, now ranging from
twenty-five to twenty-seven cents pound.
Looking, however, to the necessities of the
cotton manufacturers everywhere for our long
staple article, it is not likely the price will 90
down much, unless there should be better
and an unusually good prospect of crop the
present year.
What, then, are the prospects for the present
year? 1t is rather too early to form correct
idea, though preparations for planting have
commenced in the most southern part of the
cotton region. As general thing the neces-
sites of the planters and of the negro laborers
will stimulate exertions to raise a large CROP
The rise in the price lately, and the fact now
demonstrated that the manufacturers of the
world cannot do without considerable guam
tity of American cotton, will have similar
effect in stimulating production. We learn,
too, from Texas and some other parts of the
South, particularly from Texas, that the pros
pect of large crop the present year is very
good. This, however, is not general, and is
not true probably, with regard to the northern
tier of the cotton States for in these latter the
people are turning their attention more to the
cultivation of cereals. But with all the draw
backs to cotton culture, as the disorganized
state of labor, the political condition of the
South, and the disheartening future for the
Southern whites, we still think that with favor
able season good crop win be produced, and
that, too, with reasonable expectation of
remunerative price. There are not likely to
be hereafter such extreme fluctuations in the
market as have been experienced with the crop
Of 1867. The planters ought to be encouraged
to work, therefore, and the spectators should
be warned against unduly bulling or bearing
the market, either upon the basis of the crop
on hand or upon that about to be planted
