MEXICO TO BE OURs.-The New York
Herald closes an editorial on Mexican
affairs by saying it anticipates, in some
practical shape, the revival under
President Grant of the grand idea in
volved in the offer to General Scott, by
the Mexicans, to accept the govern
ment of that Republic in the name of
the United States, and within the next
four years, in all probability, as ter
ritorial delegate to begin with, We shall
have man in Congress from each of
the Mexican States. Sooner or later,
this substantially will be the solution
of the Mexican question, and General
Grant is the proper man to settle it.

re- The State Journal closes an ar
ticle on the interest question, with these
sound words:-"When our Legislators
learn that the attempt to regulate mems
business affairs by an impertinent in
reference with the freedom Of con-
tracts in the matter Of borrowing and
loaning money, is of the same nature,
and as useless, as prescribing by law
what men shall wear or eat, they will
probably conclude that it is best to let
alone all fruitless attempts to modify or
amend the laws of nature. which we
trust are not as far beyond their COM
prehension, as such laws are beyond
their control.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80.
THE HOUSE PASSES THE SUFFRAGE
AMENDMENT.
The proposed amendment to the
Constitution, intended to make suff-
rage universal, has finally been car
ried through the House. There was,
both to-day and yesterday, a great
deal of discussion as to the form of
words which should be chosen
About fifty members wanted to pro-
hibit the making of any property or
educational test. About sixty wan
ted to disfranchise all rebels except
such as are relieved from disability
by Congress, and about twenty-five
wanted to give general amnesty at
once, but the amendment just rs it
came from Judiciary Committee was
finally carried through by vote of
$50 to ~. No Democrat voted for
it. and Baker, of Illinois, and Bing-
ham, of Ohio, were the only Repub-
licans who voted against it. The
question in the Senate has been
somewhat discussed, but was put
over to-day that the work of the
House might be considered with
Stewards proposition, which will
come up next week, and the general
disposition seems to be to take early
action.
