WHOLESOME NEWS FROM MEXICO,

A very happy turn has taken place in
Mexican affairs, if the telegraph reports
correctly that Lerdo de Tejada has be-
come reconciled to support President
Juarez in the electoral college for another
term. The opposition of these two men
was unfortunate, for the reason that they
both seemed to be fitted to work together
Juarez as president, and Tejada as his
principal secretary. There ere good men
who support themselves as subordinates
on higher plane than they might attain
if they were elevated as chieftains. Murat,
as leader, would have failed where, as
corps commander, he left the brightest
record. Richelieu could not have been
greater as king of France than he was as
minister, because, asI a king, he would
not have had any puppet to relieve him
from mischievous engagement. "Riche-
lieu consents, but Louis refuses, was his
safety from rash or improvident prom
ises Of promotion. Tejada has been the
chief promoter Of the revolution in Mex
leo, but Juarez has been the executive to
put them in operation. 1t required the
phlegm of the Indian to plod along under
all manner of difficulties, intent upon
given line of policy. A man of less stoi-
cism would probably have succumbed in
the contest, and Tejada lacked, if his
Spanish blood is true to itself, that indif-
ference which would accept defeat at the
hands Of friends and foes alike, without
retiring from the field discouraged and
disguised. As secretary and subordi-
nate he acted consistently in following
the fortunes Of his chief. As president it
is doubtful if he would have led the life
of vicissitude which Juarez has endured
for almost fifth of century. To use
homely smile, the hound only hunts with
the master, even though the latter be less
intelligent than the former.
1t is happy concurrence if these two
men have reunited their fortunes; and
this fact will greatly elevate both parties
in the esteem Of all men who love the
patriot who sets his country above him
SELF Juarez and Tejada represent the
idea Of religious liberty and civil govern

In stopping over on the dueling ques-
ton, the Times tells how some OF the
ancient chivalry were enthusiastically and
universally indorsed by all of the best
men in the community, in setting them
selves up as targets to be shot at, while
the same piggin contains confession that
some of the best men in the city held the
duelist to be barbarian ? How was this
universal support obtained FROM men who
considered the fact piece of barbarism ?
There is a garrulity about the Times that
demands to be employed.

a CASE IN POINT.

If it be true, as it is claimed, that the
amenities ard coortesies of civilized COM
munities are extended to all, without re-
gard to their political sentiments, how
does it happen that the death Of Senator
Pierce has been passed over hy the press
of New Orleans, almost in silence? Do
our city papers truly represent the senti-
ment of the people Of New Orleans, or are
they faithless sentinels Is it supposed
that they please their readers by thus
ignoring the sudden death of State Sen
ator, a member Of the School Board, q
merchant of honorable standing, and a
man of unsullied integrity. With one ex-
ception, the Democratic press has ignored
the calamity that has befallen this COM
munity in the death Of a good man. And
they all claim to represent the ''people. "
And they all are ready to swear that the
"people" they represent are without pre-
judice. Yet, here we find these self-con-
stituted representatives Of the people de-
nying distinguished Senator, worthy
citizen and a most noble man in every
sense Of the word, the customary tribute
of respect. He was State Senator, and
as such, the reading public felt an inter
est in his fate sufficient to warrant a
chronicle of his death. And it would have
been gratifying to the many warm per-
sonal friends of Mr.. Pierce to have read in
the Democratic papers something like an
acknowledgment Of his worth. In this
they have been sorely disappointed, and
yet these papers claim to represent an
unprejudicial constituency

ment. They are emphatically civilians.
and as such, they are opposed to that
system which prevailed under Santa
Anna, wherein the military took prece-
dence of all the other departments Of
State. For years before Juarez became
president, the condition of Mexico was a
chronic revolution in the interests of dar-
ing military officers; and in Santa Annals
time the standing army was maintained
to forty thousand men. Hundreds of
generals, colonels, majors, lieutenants
and sergeants, swarmed in every depart
ment, living upon the public treasury,
and doing no work except keeping the
people in state Of excitement. They
were more numerous than the priests, and
their quarters were as common as con-
vents and mcnastries. With the advent
of Juarez and Tejada the military system
was gradually undermined, until, in the
explosion which broke down the priest
hood, the government felt itself strong
enough to throw off the military leeches.
1t pensioned large number, but took
care to abolish their Offices, so that as
they died off the State was permanently
relieved Of burden that crippled all its
resources.
The condition Of affairs that produced
the antagonism and then the reconciliation
between Juarez and Tejada arose out Of
the recent election for president Both
were candidates, Juarez justifying his
postulation en- the ground that, as he had
led the republic through all its difficulties,
it was night and just that his cause should
be submitted to the people for their in
dorsenent, and Tejada opposing on the
ground that, as Juarez had beenr pesident
for fourteen years, it was time for him to
withdraw. The contest was not very
bitter one, although both parties had
strong friends. In the midst Of this al
most friendly trial Of strength, General
Por6rio Diaz entered the field, backed by
his military reputation and strong Sec
ton Of the army. He appealed to the
worst elements Of the voting population,
and succeeded in securing strong sup
port in the electoral college. If the dis
pute between Juarez and Tejada had as
sumed anything like bitter complexion,
Diaz would probably have succeeded, but
fortunately, as We said at the outset, the
contest between the civilians was not Of
that violent nature to prevent them from
becoming friends again, and the result is
seen in the combination Of the original
leaders to beat the new can
didate Of the military order, which has
again become somewhat important owing
to the war against the Emperor Maxi
milan.
As Juarez and Tejada have been the
constant friends Of the United States, and
are accepted as undisputed republicans,
the concurrence Of strength which retains
them in power as against the military
and against Diaz, who is a sworn enemy
of all foreigners, will be hailed as new
sign in favor of Mexico She thus gives
evidence of her disposition to advance,
and the people have demonstrated their
ability to resist seduction by epaulettes
and prejudice.

The Courier-Journal, of Louisville,
thinks people who are ready to charge
corruption upon others must be corrupt
themselves" According to this the ene-
mics of Governor Warmoth must be
worse than putrid. If the Courier-Journal
is correct, they must be mean, base,
worthless fellows, for they charge all man
ner of corruption upon the Governor, and
persist in their charges after they have
been fully and fairly refuted.

THE NEW LOUISIANA REMEDY
FOR sCROFULOUs DISEASES.

new and remarkable remedy for CONsUNP-
TIOS and all other SCROFuLOuS DISEASES has
been found in the swamp Of Louisiana.
BY scrofulous diseases is meant those that arise
from An lmpuse or low state of the blood. This in.
clndes not only that terrible scourge Of humanity
PULMONARY CONSUMPTION, but Coughs, Colds,
Group, Catarrh Asthma, Bronch tits, Laryngitis,
Dyspepsia, General Debility Kruptions, etc.
Ricord, the great French medical writer, says.
that Consumption is Scrofula." No competent
authority. We suppose, now dissents from this
opinion.
This new LOUISIANA REMEDY has been thor.
oughly tested in a great variety of cases in dis.
eases of this class and the results have aston
ished those knowing the facts So great i, the
interest which it has excited that its manufaetpm
has been undertaken in New Orleans on l2,xs
scale. Contracts have already been. made ior ths
supply Of Massachusetts,, California. etc.
The proprietors refer to great number OF per-
sons who have taken this remedy here at home
among whom are some of the most distin gaishea
citizens Of Lousiana-clergy men. lawyers, judges,
editors merchants. etc.
Il Is BLOOD PURIFIER of singular power and
acts ike char on the whole system.
/ 1t is unequaled in its effects on the respiratory
organs and the human voice. 1t is put Up N Two
FORMS and known as
smiths Pulmonic syrup and smiths Lie
Tonic,
And may be taken either separately or together Il
is extremely agreeable to the taste and absolutely
harmless Facts warrant the opinion that nothing
else will be taken for Scrofulous Diseases, and
especially for Coughs, Catarrh, Bronchitis and
Consumption. as the real merits Of thisG
t1aordinary remedy become fully known.

Truth DEvOU1Ma TRADITION.
A military iconoclast signing his name
"A. w." has been breaking other images
with the same ruthless hand that charac-
terized the historical atheist who exploded
the romance about William Tell and his
bow and arrow feat. "a. W." went
troubadouring over Canada, and his OH
cial organ was the New Orleans Times. In
his travels he encountered Quebec, and it
naturally occurred to his military mind
that the fortifcations of that city ought to
be sold out to corporations engaged in the
milling, bridging, railroading, lunatic
and revenue business; and he astonished
our British cousins by telling them so
to their faces, much to their disgust. Next
he proceeded to demonstrate that Mont
calm made mistake in leaving his strongly
fortified position to meet Wolfe on the
heights of Abraham. Then he demon
strated that Montgomery and Arnold
were fools to land their men in perilous
position in order to scale precipice un-
der the fire of an imposing garrison. As
romance has invested Montcalm with the
halo of chivalric glory, and rewarded
Montgomery and Arnold with the laurel
of hero chieftians, it is certainly vexatious
that this icouoclastic wanderer can not
allow the truth to rest in allegiance where
it has slept for century without injury
to mankind. Still, it is creditable to New
Orleans that she has been the means of
breaking these distant images, since it is
morally certain that if "a. W. had not
done it, some other truthteller would.
