Mexican AMnirs.

Mexico, December l5-The Tehaun-
tepec bill has passed Congress and is
now a law irrevocably. The friends of
the measure are pleased in an especial
manner because no embarrassing clauses
were incorporated towards the close OF
the discussion on the bill. This action
Of Congress is regarded as a triumph OF
the Juarez party. over the adherents Of
Lerdo. The prestiacal canvass is be-
coming an exciting one. Juarez has
entered the field in earnest, astonishing
his opponents by the youthful energy
and visor with which he is conducting
the campaign. The auti-American'
Spanish and French parties are raliylng
to the support of Lerdo, who Is also
exerting himself to obtain success

illusions in debate, he felt gratified
in resenting then in the spirit in which
they were offered. He very cheerfully
accepted the explanation.
Mr.. Sumner noticing side remark
by Mr.. Carpenter, sharply replied that
he had not and he would not take back
anything he had said since the discus
son commenced.
Several amendments by Bff Schurz
were rejected. One was for directing
an inquiry as to persons imprisoned or
exiled by the Dominican republic be-
cause Of their hostility to annexation or
for other political reasons, and also one
as TO any protectoral over or aid given
to the Dominican republic by the naval
forces of the United States and dating
since the commencement of the investl-
CATION three months after the withdraw
drawal Of such force.
At four clock Mr.. Casserly took the
floor and proceeded to show that the
majority were determined to prevent
any inquiry not agreeable to them.
The debate thereafter was mainly OF
an interlocutory character, but was
marked at times with an acrimonious
spirit which relieved the otherwise dull
monotony of late session.
An amendment by Mr.. Schurz, to
postpone all investigation until three
months after the withdrawal Of the
United States naval force from Domin-
lean waters, was supported by Mr.
Sumner upon the ground that an ex-
preston of the popular will of Domiu-
ica for or against annexation should be
uninfluenced by pressure of bayonets.
Mr.. Thurman's amendment was lost
and the various amendments offered by
Mr.. Casserly were voted down.
An amendment by A. &. Thurman
to extend the investigation to include
the pro bable number Of inhabitants OF
San Domingo was agreed to.
A joint resolution authorizing the
Of a Commissioner, in re-
Iation. to the Republic Of Dominica, was
not passed by the Senate until six
o'clock this morning. Ayes 3l-nays9.
The Senate at 5:45 A. NJ, adjourned.

New YORK, December 22-The
Times Washington correspondent tcle-
graphs at late hour Wednesday night:
The debate in the Senate since the re-
cess las been excited and personal, and
the language used has often bordered
on the verge OF parliamentary decorum.
Mr. Summers speech in the morning is
understood on all sides to be an assault
on the administration Of President
Grant. Mr.. Morton first replied sim
NV to some OF Mr.. Summers statements,
and then Mr.. Nye spoke in his happi-
est vein Of fuu-making of some of Mr..
Summers bug-bears Mr.. Chandler
read the rematks OF Mr. Sumner in
regard to the Presidents attempt to
change the committee on Foreign Re
lations and demanded his authority for
the statement. Mr.. Sumner said he
had it from Senator and others not
in the Senate and the public press.
Mr.. Chandler was reminded that the
word brutal" with which he had
characterized Summers speech, was un:
parliamentary, and he said he would
change it, and make his language as
strong as possible, and be parIialnenta,
ry. and such seemed to be tile general
desire. Mr.. ConkIing has just finishe ! an
hours speech, in which calmly, but
powerfully, be has denounced the
course of Sumner. He declares that
the Republican majority OF the Senate
owed it to themselves to reorgaqNt
the committee on Foreign Relations in
harmony with the Administration

One of our exchanges says:
Justice Thompson, who was the inn

of the guests of the previous evening.

METZ. This city, which will probably be
the scene of conflict between the French and
Prussian armies, is thus described by the
New York Times
Metz is the centre of the triple range of
fnrtresses with which the celebrated Vauban,
the architect OF Louis XIV, attempted to de-
tend France againstltermany from the north
and the east. Round these frontiers he con-
struted no less than lightweight tortresses,
of which Nalenciennes in the north and Metz
in the east are the strongest. As said before,
Metz lies in the centre of the triple range,
having as advanced post Thionville, and in
the rear Nancy The Mosselle here is still
very small and scarcely practicable tor small
steamers that go down with the current to
Thionville, Sierck and Treves. AT Coblentz
it flows right through the city; one part Of
the river is still water. Metz is very irregu-
larly built, has population of about so, 900,
and something like $4,000 men in garrison
1t is surrounded by three walls, forming two
bitches, which are about 80 feet deep, and
being connected with the river may be nun-
dated at five minutes notice. On each side
of the place is situated Il kind of natural fort
called on the right side of the river, the
Fort Belle troix, and on the left side the
Mount St Quentin. On the top of this latter,
commanding q view of about twenty-five
miles is an optical telegraph, the signals of
which may be seen from the Cathedral of
Metz. The chereaur dc .trise, or tosses our
ioups, consist in deep bitches, filed up with
bayonets, swords, shells, grenades, &C.,
which are covered with the ground SO care
fully that the most practiced eye is scarcely
able to detect them. All the buildings out
side the place are wooden frame work. so
that they can be destroyed at 4 moments
warning. The Forte Belle Crox is complete
y undermined, and the mines are connected
with the arsenal, SO that they can be blown
up from this latter place. The Porte DIES
Allemanda" is a historically curious place,
and the only remainder of the old fortress as
it had been constructed by the Dukes of Lor-
raine. This gate was assaulted in 1915 by
Charles v, Emperor of Germany and King
of Spain, but the Emperor, victorious on ali
other points, was defeated on this by his
eternal enemy, Francis ]. OF France 1t is
not to be expected that the Prussians will
carry this fortress as easily as they seem to
have carried the little but strong place OF
Bitsche. and the experience of the Prussian
Generals will scarcely allow them to leave
so strong place in their rear, SO a decisive
battle may be looked for in the plain sur
rounding Metz.
