THE RADlCALs AND THE
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO.

AHA@ AA.A
PRESIDENT Of MEXICO.
The action of the United States
authorities Radical secured the
overthrow and murder Of Maxi.
MILAN. That man proposed to
create order out of anarchy. He
proposed'to redeem and civilize q
race Of barbarians, highway rob
bers, plunderers and murderers. He
desired TO make it q land to which
the peaceably disposed and refined
Of all countries could go with
safety. But the Radicals Of the
United States did not desire this
condition Of things. 1t would
have been too singing a rebuke
on their own outrages aud thefts.
1t would have been ruinous to set
up an honest, decent, orderly
nation beside this. The difference
by comparison would have been
too obvious, and hence they de-
clared in favor of a mongrel, with,
out refinement, purity (even in
blood) J, and who was then believed
to be corrupt and dishonest, of
which they have since been fully
assured. But there was one helm.
Gus crime and otfense of which
Juarez has been convicted of
which the Radical party at that
time had no conception and which
would have damned oven him in
their estimation. It is this. 1t is
shown, on the evidence of Francis
Latham, the Confederate Rev
enue Collector at Browns
vile during the war, that :
1.-THE Confederates imported all the
arms and munitions they wanted
from Mexico, under the Juarez
government. Governor Vidaurri
gave permits continually to send
saltpeter, sulphur, and lead, Of
which his State mined q good
deal, and received cotton in pay.
ment. l had a conversation with
President Juarez on this subject
at my own house, and also at his
palace in company with other
gentlemen. He received us very
cordially. On one oc.
casion he issued a decree whereby
cotton was allowed to pass at airy
hour of the day or night at the
time / speak Of Juarez was in sym
patty with the Confederate gov
eminent; at this interview, which
was had with the view TO get him
10 make some concessions to the
Confederacy, he expressed the
greatest desire to do so, and
ihink lie issued a decree after.

There is plenty of other eyi.
dence to the same effect. As this
! gives Us 4 just claim against Mex.
leo for damages, even the Tribune
trusts "our Government will lost
no time in making the proper
, representations Mt the capita
our of ncighbor Republic" as
lit is an affair of such gross in
gratitude and such shameful du
plicity that we ought to make al
instant and emphatic expression
OF our sentiments.
After this, there must he TIN
cry, exit Juarez' even from Re
publican homes and families.
There is now nothing left bu
for the party to remand Mexico L
military rule, and cause her to b,
reconstructed.

The Elton Eagle learns that the
owners Of the North Louisiana
Railroad have been offered S75,.
600 for their rights and franchises
in this important road. The Of
fer is made by q Northern com
pany, who guarantees to put the
road through to Texas in quick
time. The Eagle says: The offer
was refused although it was O
magnificent return ON their invest
ment. This road is of great i'm
portance to all North Louisiana,
and will be o mine Of wealth to
Vicksburg. The owners ore I'm.
able to build 1t, and their policy
looks to US a good deal like the
dog in the manger policy.

In the News Of the 4th, appears
a reply to the structures of our
correspondent, and to the editorial
comments Of the HERALD. At
the same time the editors Of the
News say that the above para
graph, rs it appeared in their
journal Of May 14th:
"Was a ciippjRy published under
the head Of State Items" without
note or comment"
We pass by the remarks Of the
News Us addressed TO our cores
pondent and publish the following
as addressed to the HERALD:
But the comments OF the Her.
AID upon the card demand some
attention from US. The high
opinion That we have entertained
Of that paper for its ability and
strict adherence to principle makes
us regret the more any unkind
mention in its columns. We
would have supposed that it would
wait TO hear both sides before
p%ronOuncing Judgment. But in.
stead of that it takes all that was
said against us as true, and styling
the card q "'wcll. merited rebuke,"
deals out TO us more than q column
Of reproof for ''waging 4 conflict
with male and female indiscrimi.
nately." Now, we can tell the
HERALD that We permit no one TO
90 before us in reverence for the
name Of woman, and that there is
not hat living man who would
more quickly shrink from divest-
ing the sex of that veil Of sane
tity with which the name OF
mother, sister, wife, covers them.
Yet this is the crime which the
HERALD joins its correspondent in
ascribing TO us. But the charge
is unfounded. We war with men
and with principles, not with
ladies, and aside from our repug-
nance to drawing these last from
the tender influences of home life,
we would never change our tactics
TO avoid breaking q lance with
ono Of our sex, as is insinuated.-
We know that the first renal ks
of our contemporary are apparently
to the press in general, but as VIC
have drawn them forth we arc
bound to think they are intended
more for US than others. But
coming directly to the point the
HERALD condemns us for without
reflection publishing a statement
which was without foundation in
fact" while It not only does the
same thing itself by making room

In 1854, a Hungarian Countess,

Yankee ingenuity is beaten at last, and that
in the matter of butter. We boasted ourselves
no little, a month or two ago, of a native-born
magician, who, for consideration, would turn
you a pint of sky-blue milk into two-pound
roll of the best table article; but in London
they arc now converting all the greasy filth of
the Thames into a butter which is shipped to
Holland in large quantities-butter, too, we are
told, "of the freshest flavor golden tinted, and
with the very smell of the daisies in it." What
are wooden nutmegs to this7 Our friend John
Bull discovers more speculation in his eye as
he grows old than we gave him credit for and
detects the almighty penny with far keener
sight than Jonathan.
However, Thames butter is no novelty with
us. There are a great many ways, we can as
sure our English Cousins, beside that of churn-
ing, of giving to indisputable mud and filth a
flavor so fresh and a tint so golden that it
fairly "babbles o. green fields" and innocence
and so becomes fit for the market; for un-
tainted freshness and the smell of the clover
bring their price in other wares than butter
When Smiths heir and Jones's heress, each
of whom have dragged their battered hearts
through O dozen engagements, resolve upon
the union of her house on Fifth-avenue and
his stock in Erie, her diamonds and dresses
from Worth with his shipping interest, and
celebrate the same as holy wedlock, with pure
white robes and orange blossoms, music from
MendelssOhn and a prayer for spiritual bene-
dictiOn and grace, we detect in the operation
an undOubted specimen of Thames butter, well
made and ranking high in the market. When
Mr.. PumblechOOk, who three years ago would
not suffer mulatt0 to enter the cars, or
black regiment to pass through the streets on
its way to the war, approaches his colored
brother with effusion of the eye and heart
