Mr.. Mark Twain favors the public with hs

seem to be of about the same tenor and value
as those which Mr.. Secretary Fish has occa-

of Mr. Twain opinions
"In his sef-sacrinclnR struggles for his cOuntry's
freedom the Cuban patriot makes Valorous use OF
every method and every contryance that can aid
the good cause. Murder, theft. burglary, arson,
assassination, rape, poison, treachery, mendacty,

the salvation OF his native land; and the same are

MEXICO DURING GRANTS ADMINS
TRATION
From the N. Y. Herald.

1hA1lON.
From The NJ Y. Herald
In reviewing the history of Mexico since
the restoration of President Juarez to power,
and more especially the history of her
finances, it cannot fail to be observed that
notwithstanding the labored and unsuccessful
effort of Mr. Payne, her eminent statistician
and ex-Secretary of the Treasury, to prove,
in an immense volume published by the re-
publican authorities in 1868, that Maximilian
had left an unfortunate and disastrous finan-
cial record, still the present administration
in that bedridden country is doing sadly
worse than the executed Emperor-apparently
oblivious of the fact that there is a condition
which people may reach more destructive
than bankruptcy. With reference to the
policy of President JuaTez or Mr.. Romero in
failing to pay for the arms and munitions
furnished to the republic of Mexico in her
late struggle against imperial Intervention,
it may at least be said in its favor that
while ii strikes a blow at the national credit,
it yet has the single redeeming feature
of rendering it difficult for any revolutionary
party to purchase material of war with which
to overthrow the Government. The revenues
which have accrued to the nation, as shown
by the reports of Mr.. Romero for the fiscal
years ending June 30, 1868, and June 80,
1869, have furnished barely sufficient funds
for the meagre support of the civil employees
of the nation and of standing army of
twenty-fv thousand men--the latter being
absolutely necessary for the existence of any
semblance of government in Mexico for
single hour. Native and foreign creditors of
the nation see no prospect of speedy or dis
tant payment of principal or interest, and
foreign capital has been leaving the country
for investment within more hospitRble shores.
With such condition of commerce and
public credit, the revenues, which in 1868
reached only about twenty millions of dollars
and in 1869 eleven millions of dollars pro-
mise in the year ending June 80, 1870, not to
exceed eight or ten millions-scarcely sufd-
cient to sustain the Government, and with
the English and Spanish creditors clamorous
for their interest money, now anpaid for
about thSee years, to say nothing Of the
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-01-04

holders of the American loan Of three millions
OF dollars, and further obligation of magni-
tude which promises to become national
debt, with the United States as the creditor,
resulting from the labors of the Mexican COM
mission now in session at Washington.
While these complications are accumulating
and becoming more or less aggregated the in
dications are that the internal and political
disease of the countryis becomingmost alarm
ing and perhaps fatal. The desperation of
that portion of the liberal party which is not
in accord with President Juarez is becoming
marked, and there are rumors that it threat
ems fusion with the old Church party, with
the view of overturning the Government be-
fore the end of this Presidential term. Pre-
texts for such measure will be abundant.
The ambition of Mr.. Lerdo, President Juarez's
Secretary of State, it is believed, is driving
the former to grasp after the Presidency, and,
although professedly less talented than his
brother Miguel, he desires to hand his name
down to posterity by having his portrait hung
among those of the Presidents of Mexico.
The positiveness with which this Mexican
statesman assumed the front on the occasion
of the recent banquets given to Mr.. Seward in
the balls of the Montezumas, thus sparing Mr..
Romero from the attacks of his enemies and
the vituperations of an opposition press, is
characteristic of the man; and that act and the
frmed the fact that Mr.. Seward was guest
of the nation, and not of Mr.. Romero Mr.
Lerdo is fearless as well as ambitious. He
will most likely find pitted against him for
the Presidency General Portirio Diaz, and
should the contest wage too warmly, it is not
unlikely that President Juarez may consent
to be nominated as a third candidate, and
| possibly may be elected This election is to
be held about the time of the rising from its
session of the Mexican Commission" and
bids fair to be the signvl for the sword and
the frebrand. Should such condition of
things ensue, then, or earlier, as is most
probable, the administration of General
Grant, representing anation which has already
| assumed responsibilities in the affairs of
Mexico, may have it in its power, and may
feel it to be its duty, to invite Mexico to
''have peace, through the medium of loan
properly secured to our Treasury, by
which the Government ION the throne
in Mexico may at least subdue its restive peo-
pie for while, or, if refused, through the me-
dunn of ''moral suasion' vigorously applied.

Dry Goods.


The outbreak of the war between
France and Prussia, which looks at
the start as though it might involve
all the European nations, can not bat
have an important influence upon the
commerce of the United States, and
produce great changes iu the prices OF
cotton and fabrics. The immediate
influence of the war has been to raise
the price of gold about 5 per cent.
aad this advance must have CORES
ponding influence upon other com
modities which Europe will require
from this country. Cotton will ad-
vance with the rest. Flour went up
from 80 to 20 cents, and wheat from
lot IL cents on Monday.
The price of dry goods must be dis
turbed more or less, but they are less

Eall and Winter Fashions for MeT


The leading tailors of this city have
received advices from Europe regard
ing the fashions for men during the
coming fall and winter. They will
vary but little from those of the pass
season.
CoATs.-Short English jackets OF
melton, diagonal and cheviot mate
rails, will still be in vogue for day
wear, together with dark double
breasted Prince Albert frocks, having
short skirts, and collars in long rolls
reaching low toward the waist. The
Newmarket d0uble-breasted cut away
coat, of varied materials, will also con-
tinue to be worn.
Dress coats will be of the same pat
tern as last year, and a renewed at
tempt will be made 10 substitute those
of blue cloth with gilt buttons, for the
funeral black that has ruled for twenty
years past.
Overcoats will vary in color aud
make but the blue, close fitting gar
ment, of heavy cloth, generally pepu-
lar last winter, will still be favorite,
WAIsTCoATs.-Ves will either be
double breasted with lapels, or high
in the neck and single, with rolling
collars. For evening wear they will
be single breasted, cut low, and both
white and black.
PANTALOONs.- Pantaloons for both
day and evening will be cut smaller
than hitherto at the knee, aud larger
at the foo, which it will cover to the
extent of the style Ia vogue twenty
years ago. The materials will be the
same as during last season. Together
with blue coats for evening use, light
colored pantaloons will continue to be
worn, but black will doubtless be
the reiguing hue.
SHIRTs.-A tendency exists towards
plaianess In shirts and very wide plaits.
Many bOsoms are made entirely with
out plaits. Jeweled pearl and ivory
studs will be worn as heretofore. to-
gether with metal and jeweled sleeve
buttons. The favorite collar is to be
the negIige, standing upright and turn
ed down In front at the corners.
SCARFs.-The Prince Teck scarf, of
varied colors, now very common, will
continue to rule for day wear, together
with Windsor scarfs of checked and
striped silks and satins, cut with a
bias. In the evening white aud black
ties will maintain their sway.
GLOVES. and lavender gloves
will continue to be favorites for street
ues, with white and lavender kid for
the evening.
HATs.-Silk hats are to be six and
one. quarter inches deep, aud will bell
more at the top than last season.
The brim will, also, be wider, and is
to roll considerably at the sides. The
many varieties of felt hat will remain
unchanged.
CANES. Canes are coming cen
stantly more in vogue. They are usu.
ally thin, knotted, and composed oil
many woods. A reddish brown is the
favOrite color.
PRICEs.-A general reduction oil
prices of clothing is noted at present
from the rates Of two years ago, and
there appears no prospect of rise
this winter, notwithstanding the slight
increased price of gold incidental tc
the war. 1t is expected soon to fal
again, and large arrivals of French
aGd German dry goods of all kinds
may soon be expected at very low rates
through the necessity existing will
foreign manufacturers to realize at any
price upon their products.
