after most persistent scolding he actually
compelled the French to pack up their bag
and baggage and retire. The fact OF the
matter is that Stewards tactics Of persistent
scolding achieved more for Mexico than people
generally think. The honors, therefore, ten
dered to the ex-Secretary on his visit to that
country are his due A right royal reception
will welcome him to the Mexican capital
Sumptuous banquets and brilliant soirees will
make his heart glad during his stay, and thus
he will reap reward for his .steadfast adhe-
renee to Mexico when she most needed friends.
On his return home we hope Mr.. Seward will
give us an account OF his late travels,
and tell what he saw and what he heard
and what is the condition of the Mexican
republic Of the present day. He gave an
interesting picture of Alaska, but that prac-
tical old soldier General Thomas stripped it of
all its roseate coloring by subsequent pic
ture. Now Mr.. Seward has field worthy of
his prolific pen, and it is to be hoped he will
take advantage of the occasion.

American Finance and Fear OF Repudiatio

LONDON, Oct. 20, 1859.
The London Times has an editorial on American
finances wherein the writer comments on Secretary
Boutweil's advocacy Of paying the national DEBT in
gold and considers the very necessity OF such an
advocacy proof OF the strength OF the regulators.
Mr. BoutweIl's appeal for paying the debt will
him glory and patriotism. The obligation cannot be
put too simply and markedly, 1t duty which Ameri-
ca owes primarily to the creditor. The nation does
not want any other reason but that the creditors
right pointed out to 1t. The security Of the Amercans
public faith Is excellent but their liability to alter the
Of the contract against the will OF the credi
tors would render their best security bad. The only
sound rule to give capital courage to permeate the
union is that "a bargain is bargain" and that 1t is
a SUFFICIENT reason why one party is bound TO keep
1t that the other party it has made his arrange
ments on the faith Of its being kept

THE CorroN CRoP.-With careful picking
and saving it is likely that the Southern cotton
crop this year will reach the handsome figure
of three millions of bales. This, at the mode
rate average of. twenty-five cents pound, is
equal to three hundred millions of dolIars--a
splendid exemplifcation of practical Southern
reconstruction on cash basis.
