Modern Progress In Mexico.

On the 18th of the past month the fifth Con-
gress of the Mexican Union assembled in the
city of Mexico. President Juarez, accom-
panied by the members of his cabinet, pre-
scented himself and was received with the
customary honors The address of his Excel
Of the Speaker Of the House, give great salts
faction; and If their declarations of intentions
will be the precursors Of acts destined to pro-
mote the interest Of the republic the Inaugural
ton of the fifth Congress may prove one of the
most remarkable epochs in the history of the
country. However, SO many promises have
been made and 80 numerous have the declara-
tions Of Mexican statesmen been, that until
acts supporting asseverations make evident
the truthfulness, sincerity and patriotism of
those in power, all such declarations must be
taken with large degree Of caution.
In country so long the prey Of Internal
disorders where political leaders believed in
the arbitration of the sword rather than the
quiet counsel Of the forum; where brigands
have deAed law, outraged order and ridiculed
the ministers of justice; where life was COM
paratively unsafe and property irresolutely
protected; where the influence of the Church
in numerous instances embarrassed the
advancement of the States; with financial
endorsements, European interference, intes-
tine quarrels and commercial stagnation--
with all these evils exerting their influence it
is not to be wondered at that this rich and
luxuriant nation should have suffered from
such baneful influences. But in this age of
progress, when the printing press, telegraphs
and railroads are accomplishing such human
izing results, 1t would be hard indeed to think
that Mexico, possessed as the country Is of
natural advantages, would remain be-
hind in the march Of advancement. Every
new railroad laid down, every line of telegraph
erected and every newspaper established
within the confines of the republic must, in
the natural course of events, prove power
full antidote against all the evils enumerated
and secure an era of progress heretofore
unknown in the career of the country.
The opening Of the new railroad from Puebla
to Vera Cruz IL an event of much importance
and one that will prove fruitful Of good results.
Commerce will be stimulated, enterprise cher
ished, safety guaranteed, and the numerous
advantages that are everywhere TO be wit
messed In countries where the modern agents
Of civilization, the telegraph, the newspaper
and the railroad. have performed their task.

"THE COUNTRY Is IN DANGER. The effect
in the Spanish revolution Of suspending the
constitutional guarantees for personal liberty
Is analogous to that produced In the French
revolution by the declaration that the country
was in danger. In an American or English
movement the same point would be indicated
by proclamation OF martial law. The Span
ish oligarchy, therefore, admits that IL has to
fight the Spanish people.

WE DON'T KNow.-After reading the
despatch in yesterdays HERALD from San
Francisco, that Archbishop Almy had left that
city to attend the Ecumenical Council, and
that he carries with him California gold
snuffbox, filed with gold coin, as present to
the Pope, one of our readers desires us to tell
him what are the dimensions of said snuffbox
and the sum of gold it contains. We don't
know; but we incline to the opinion that it will
hold snuff enough to give every member Of
the Grand Council pinch and two pinches for
the Holy Father, and that the gold coin therein
will be sufficient to keep the box full of the
finest quality of snuff while the Council con-
tinues it's meetings, even with pinch to every
member and two for his Holiness every morn
ing for year and day.

THE END OF THE CASE OF RRDDY THE
BLAoKsMTH-He has been acquitted for
want Of evidence to convict him. There has
been too much fuss made over him In certain
newspapers and too much nummery. All the
efforts made, however, to raise Reddy the
Blacksmith to the dignity of first class rogue
or ruffian have signally failed, as have all
attempts to brighten judge and jury into his
conviction, by proclaiming Reddy the head Of
political gang Of roughs who must be obeyed.
The case is very simple. There was no evil
dence upon which to convict the prisoner,
whatever he may be, and he is therefore dis
CHARGED,

Tho Late Terrible Storm Along the Bay
Of Fundy.

Tho Late Terrible Storm Along the Bay
Of Fundy.
The late heavy equinoctial-so far as known
the heaviest along the Atlantic coast, from
Virginia northward, in its rainfall, of all the
storms of the nineteenth century-appears to
including live stock, in the British provinces
of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia than at
any point within the United States. Around
Sackvile, N. B., among the damages reported
from the tremendous tide driven up the Bay Of
Fundy, are tho destruction Of bridges, wharves,
dikes, railways telegraphs, ships, houses and
barns, the sweeping away Of thousands Of tons
of hay and the drowning of thousands Of cat
tie. These losses will doubtless involve much
sufferingin the inundated districts; and the
worst Of the losses have yet, perhaps, to come,
for it is hardly to be supposed that in this
sweeping tidal wave no men, women or children
were drowned.
1t is remarked that this was the storm pre-
dicted by Lieutenant Saxby, of the Royal
Navy, last December. If so, we have another
evidence of the value of the late discoveries
of science touching the laws and seasons OF
these great storms With proper telegraph
system of warnings and signals we know that
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, even from
New York, might have had twenty-four hours
notice Of this equinoctial for 1t reached Its
climax here On Sunday night, and at Sack
vile, N. B., on Monday night Here we see,
then, that with proper system Of storm sig
mails millions Of property along the Atlantic
coast might have been saved from the destruc-
tive consequences of this late equinoctial.

will soon be brought into active operation.
The treaty of commerce between Mexico and
the North German Confederation is also an
advantage Of no mean Importance, and one that
will shortly be followed by others, which will
largely contribute to dissipate the unpleasant
feelings with which our next-door neighbor has
been regarded at the other side of the Atlantic.
It is an opening wedge which, 1t is to be
hoped, will gradually work an alteration from
the old order Of things in Mexico, beneficial to
the people, advantageous to the nation and
establishing reign Of political as well as COM
meroial prosperity.

Onr National Debt-Thc Reported Offer q
the Rothschilds. 81


A report comes through Washington tele-
gram that the Rothschilds are about to offer
loan to our government to any amount it may
desire at four per cent interest, and that NJ
Friguet, an agent of these great capitalists
viii arrive shortly to make the proposition
1t is further said that this proposed action on
the part of the Rothschilds has been prompted
By the discovery that certain German capital
lists were contemplating similar proposition
Now, we do not know what truth there may be
in this report. 1t may only be bull operation
on the part of those holding largely United
the prices in the markets; and if we con-
slider that the Rothschilds would not be likely
to make known in advance any great financial
operation of this sort, such would be reason
able view of the character and object of the
telegram. StQl it is not improbable that
either the Rothschilds or the German capital
lists alluded to, or both, may contemplate such
O grand financial movement
In Germany United States securities are, to
use homely smile, seized as hot cakes are
by the hungry. Every one who has little
money is investing in them. The securities Of
no nation are looked upon with as much favor.
The people generally, as well as the capital
lists, are buying them. 1t would not be sur
prising then, If the heavy financial men Of
Germany are contemplating the offer of large
loan at four per cent interest. Nor would it
be strange il the Rothschilds have the same
object in view; for there is such plethora of
capital at the great moneyed centres of Europe,
and consequently in the hands of that rich
| house, that two or three per cent Is all that
can be obtained on good security there. In the
| greatest centre Of capital, London, money is
only worth from one and a half to two per
| cent Such capitalists as the Rothschilds
know very well that a loan at four per cent in
consolidated stock of this great and wealthy
| country would meet with ready sale. Though
| Europeans, and the English particularly, are
| cautious in making investments in the securi-
| ties Of foreign countries, and prefer those at
home, they do not lose the opportunity of get
ting one or two per cent more for their money
when the credit is undoubted and the invest
ment permanent.
Heretofore there has been great want of
knowledge in Europe about this country and
its resources, and a feeling Of uncertainty as
to how our national debt would be managed
or paid. But within the last year
or two great deal of light has
been diifused through the press, the mag
nehc telegraph and the myriads Of letters that
are sent from people in this country to their
friends abroad. They begin to understand in
Europe the boundless wealth Of the United
States and the mighty future before us. They
have seen the strength of the government and
patriotism Of the people under the ordeal of
terrible civil war that would have shattered to
! pieces any other nation. They have witnessed
