Hx1cAu AFFAIRS.

The Two Republic newspapers, pub
lished 10 the city Of Mexico, is inclined
to be hopeful over the present condition
of affairs in Mexico. In the Journal
referred to of the 18th ultimo we End
the following, under the head of 4" A
Perfect Reaction:"
The Mexicans are an inexplicable
race. FOR fifty years they have been
the most disunited and splr-up people
on earth Revolutions, counter revolu
tons, oppositions, factions, mochos.
conservadores, liberals, progressists.
republicans, imperialists; each party
and almost every individual pulling IFS
own way. What a change has come
over the scene? AT the late elections
! they have been almost unanimously of
one sentiment. WE: in declaring their
confidence 10 Benemeri,o Juarez and
his Government The coming Congress
will extinyuish the last flnrter of revO-
luton and the concOctOrs will flee to
unknown places, where they will hide
their diminished heads in chagrin and
disappointments.
The same authority further says that
crime is disappearing from the country
TO n great extent. The Government au
thoriries are commended for the energy
wi which they have discharged their
dot e., and the hope is entertained that,
travel being safe and property secure,
traffic will resume its usual channels.
The Two Republics advocates political
amnesty. as follows
In connection with this part of the
subject. We entertain a lively hope thai
the next Congress will pass bill OF
general amnesty for all political offenses
immitted during the intervention; and
with it the earnest expectation that the
Government, renewed in its strength
by the coming elections, and secure be-
You'd all ordinary casualties, will in
full earnest throw its influence in this
behalf.
The same Journal has the following
on railroad enterprise 10 Mexico:
So long as the people of this country
look to the Government to initiate aud
put into operation the railroads, or
look to foreigners to come and build
them, there is no hope of the country |
possessing these material advantages to
develop their country. The Mexicans
have the capital. the labor, and the
skill to project and carry out these
works; and the sooner they awake from
The dream that foreigners will come and
build their roads the earlier will they
arrive at some practical solution of the
present low commercial and agricul,u
raj depression. AS general rule, for
eigners seek other fields for their enter
prise they go where there are more
sta ability Of government, more security
Of property, and some spret and life
in the commerce. where they may hope
10 reap a remuneration for their outlay
