MEXICAN HONESTY.

The disclosures in relation to the dealings
of the Mexicans with this government
during the rebellion, open chapter OF
villainy scarcely equaled in the worlds
history. While we were upholding Jarez
in his unequal struggle with France, he
was quietly aiding the confederate govern
ment to fight us, and putting money into his
own pocket by bartering supplies and
munitions of war for cotton at an enor-
nous profit. Mexican honor has never
been rated very high, but such revelations
as these sink it below zero. Mr.. Caleb II.
Blood, who was appointed United States
Consul at Monterey, Mexico in 1862, and
also charged with a special mission to look
after the whole length of the Rio Grande,
to see if Mexico, was carrying out her
treaty stipulations in regard to prevent
ing arms and munitions of war from pass
ing over the Rio Grande into Texas, to
aid the rebellion, testified that the Mexican
government during the rebellion in the
United States permitted thousands of bales
of cotton to pass over the river, for which
they sent back lead saltpetre, sulphur and
boxes of arms. At times the river was
lined with cotton going into Mexico. In
the early part of 1868 he saw five twelve
mule wagons at noon-day in the streets OF
Matamoras heavily laden with lead. They
passed Immediately by the door of the
consulate He waited upon Mr.. Pierce, the
consul at Matamoros, and told him that
that lead was going direct to Brownsville
ferry. He said he knew all about it, and
had known all about it for three or four
days, but could not do anything in regard
to it that the only way to stop it was for
the government to send troops down there.
He told the names of parties to whom
this lead belonged or was consigned. Blood
knew that Confederates were supplied
with arms and other munitions of war by
the conuivance of Mexican officers. There
has been a good deal of smuggling over
| the line since the close of the war. If he
should attempt to portray what he had
seen and know about it, it would take so
long that he should not really know where
to begin. When the rebellion closed there
were in Mexico from six to ten millions of
dollars worth of surplus goods. Those
goods, if forced on the market. would
not have produced ten per cent. of their
worth, but they have found their way out,
great part ofthem into the United States.

The Machias Union says that Col Joseph
Adams, of Cherryfield, when a boy between
twelve and fifteen years of age, lived within a
dozen miles or so of Boston. He is an old
man now bearing up well to four and a half
score of years. About seventy years ago his
father used to send him to the Boston market
with potatoes. Not unfrequently the market
was dull, and one time if no more he drove
his team to the wharf, tipped his cart and
emptied the potatoes into the dock? Could
not sell the potatoes and they had more at
home than could be used. This shows the
changes time has wrought. So great is the
change that the present residents of the Hub
would be inclined to call this a fish instead OF
potato story.

The Brunswick Telegraph says Rev. A. A.
Smith, pastor of the Free Baptist church in
Topsham, few weeks ago, had a unanimous
call from the church and society in Lawrence
Mass, at salary of $500 year. Lawrence
is one of the most desirable churches and
fields of labor in New England. But as the
church in Topsham is intending to enlarge
and remodel their meeting house, in which
Mr.. S. has taken deep interest, and as his
people clung to him in affection, he found the
bonds that bound both pastor and people to-
gether too strong to be severed; he therefore
declined, though at a sacrifice of at least $500
a year in salary.

The Fenian raid appears to have had an
inglorious conclusion for those who 'wear

haste to get away from the border and
into the States, than they did to go to-

hard blow for Fenianism, from which ii
will find it difficult to recover. If Ireland
is to be redeemed, some other method

CHIPTER REFORM At Albany.

The Tweed-Swecny Municipal Charter was
Yesterday driven through the Assembly at
railroad speed, according to programme. 1t
now comes before the Senate, where its fate is
IL. the hands of the Republican minority. We
cntr,at them to accord it their careful delib
crate scutlnv.
1t Is an Improvement on the original frear-
Charter, and We think also on that which was
killed last weeh. 1t is eminently right in dis
lodging from Office our present Boards of
Aldermen and Assistants. Though bat three
months in office. these fellows have stolen
enough for a full year. Kiek them out,
But why make fish of them and flesh of the
Mayor aud Supervisors? Oak,y's reelection
last Fall was shameful juggle. Nolegal notice
was given that Mayor was then to lie chosen.
No candidates were nominated, no ballots pro-
vided except by the Ring. They had resolved
70 put their man through and they decided
that NE could run best if he ran alone, with
none but his partsans aware that he was to
run at all. And they knew.
1t is a swindle to talk of giving the People
reformed government with the present Mayor
and Supervisors retained Clear the decks, and
let us have a fair show! Change back our
Charter Election to the Spring and hold il
this year on the day of the Judicial Election
abolish the Board of Supervisors. elect one OF
the remaining Boards by General Ticket, and
ret lis have new Mayor (unless we choose to
reflect the old oncl to match our new Com
mon Council, and there will be room for hope
But new wine in old bottles will never answer

Law which shall hcncefoftb secule to the legal

every legal electors vote shall count exactly
one wherever he sees fit to cast il as the law
directs, and that no other vote shall be cast at
all. and we can live under almost an. Charter /;
without this, no Charter can do us any good.

The execution of Canadian spy 10y Gen.
Riel throws a new light on the temper and
sense of the man who. for the present. directs
the fortunes of Winnipeg. Mr.. Riel is unques-
tiOnably in earnest, but so are number OF peo-
pie who take human life without extreme cause
and with whom bloodshed is habit. We
are not familiar with the circumstances under
which the prisoner Scott was executed. They
may have been of such a nature as to
Justify or palliate the harShest treat
ment of Mr.. Riel himself whenever he
is caught and, on the other hand,
they may show that Scott suffered justly. We
fear, however, that life has been wantonly,
and therefore criminaly sacrificed by the Red
River leaders. Nothing will so quickly doom
their cause as this haste to shed blood
