Tho Mexican Revolution.

A special HERALD telegram from Mata-
moros reports the progress of the Mexioag
revolution to the evening Of the 25th inst. II
will be seen from this despatch, which ape
pears in our columns to-day, that President
Juarez has acted with alacrity and viget
against the movement, and that his action ia
likely to be crowned with success. Saltllld
still held out against the insurgents at Mon-
terey. Eight hundred government troops
who had been despatched to his aid arrived at
the scene Of his difficulty. They came in
Loyalty and in good order-a very unusual
result of the marches of Mexican soldiers
through the country in revolutionary times.
General Escobedo WAS moving his command
rapidly against another division Of the robels.
The present effect of this Ministerial army
power appeared to induce excellent conse.
qucnces, for We are informed that the inhabf.
tants of the smaller cities of Nuevo Leon had
already pronounced against General TrevinO
and his attempt at secession. Peaceful PEG.
pie were seriously alarmed, as we anticipated
they would be, and two thousand Mexicans had
already crossed the frontier into the State Of
Texas. Provided they have absolved them
selves fully from all revolutionary agitation
propensities, aud resolved to live by the
''sweat OF their brow" Texas is just the place
for them, and we bid them hearty welcome
to their new and really free homes.

Our Municipal Disorganizntion aud tho
Remedy.

Our Municipal Differentiation and mo
Remedy.
We are at present living under singular
government in the city of New York-a gov
eminent half legal and half outside the regular
provisions of the law. A committee OF citi-
zens assume authority over the public affairs
usually exercised by elected officers. The
Financial Department is In the hands OF q
Deputy, while the Comptroller continues Its
nominal head but without shadow OF power.
An eminent lawyer in private life brings suits
on behalf of the people of which the Corpora
ton Counsel is the legal prosecutor. In short
the whole municipal administration is dis
organized, and our political condition is DIS
graceful to the great metropolis OF the re-
public. This state Of affairs should be
brought to an end at once, and the shortest
road out Of the difficulty Is the BEST II is
evident that the fight of the politicians is over
the Comptroller's Office, and We believe
it would end tomorrow if Mayor Hall
would signify his readiness to appoint
Andrew H. Green Comptroller Of the city In
place of Richard B. Connolly. Now, Mr..
Green has q. least the reputation Of honesty,
and the recent proceedings in tho courts have
proved that the Comptroller cannot use the
power of his office unfairly towards any depart
ment of the city government. Let Mayor
Hall notify the Committee of Seventy and all
whom it may concern, that he will appoint
Andrew H. Green Comprehensive him in
fact confer the appointment upon him at once,
and the committee will obtain for him the
resignation Comptroller Connolly has hereto
fore withheld. The promotion Of Deputy
Green to the Comptrollership will be the oom-
mencement Of our return to regular, legal
government, and there ia no reason why Mayor
Hall should hesitate to take the step which
will release us from our present irregularity,
confusion and turmoil.

Criminal Business In the UaItcd States
Courts.

We have already referred to the delay which
has taken place in the trial Of prisoners charged
with offences against criminal law in the United
States Court, and, upon making inquiries, the
following facts appear There are between
forty and fifty cases on the calendar awaiting
trial, and in these not more than ten of the
parties accused are actually in prison, tho rest
his subordinatcs say that they are using their
utmost excrtions and are most anxious to dis
charge the calendar. But there is Que special
difficulty, among others, that blocks the way.
They cannot find Judge to sit long enough 10
superintend what we may designate, according
to the old English legal term, ga general jail
delivery" Two criminal terms OF two or
three weeks each in duration are not sufficient
in the course of twelve months to meet the
requirements Of the criminal calendar or the
United States Courts. Tho result OF these
short terms is that the calendar con-
tinues to grow larger and larger, whita
the chances Of discharging 1t become
smaller and smaller. Judge Blatchford, in the
District Court, has plenty to attend to, and he
attends to it. Judge Benedict has charge Of
the Eastern district, which includes Brooklyn,
and when he comes over to New York, as he
has recently done to try prisoners, IL is to ba
presumed that he has to leave undOnc some
thing that ought to be discharged in Brooklyn
Judge Woodruff has his hands full with
motions and arguments in patent suits, reviews
in bankruptcy, equity and law questions ana
the like and he seems to find it difficult, owing
to all this business, to preside at the trials OF
criminals. Now, what Is to be donef Th6
intention of the law is TO afford every person
accused Of crime speedy trial, aud for this
purpose there ought to be judge sitting at
regular and frequent intervals to effect -
Jail delivery" If any one Of the Judges wc
have named cannot or will not attend to this
business, then there ought to be Judge
In attendance, just as there Is 10 the
Court OF General Sessions, TO dispose
of indictments against prisoners as fass
as they are found. We believe there ara
Judges in other districts who have not very
much to do, and that they would be glad to
come here for the purpose we have mentioned.
But even about this there Is o difficulty for
the government, In Its Dggardly policy, has
made no provision for such service, and q
Judge, who Is expected 10 live like gentle
man, cannot be expected to come down here.
Try prisoners, and for The pleasure Of the thing

THE PAgsEE LUyAoY CASE. We give to-
day the material points of a very able decision
pronounced yesterday in the Court Of Common
Pleas by Judge DAILY in reference TO the case
Of the Parsee merchant, Colah, OF Bombay,
who had lost his reason in this city and was
confined in q lunatc asylum. The Judge
enters infinitely into all the circumstances OF
Wis very interesting matter, and holds that il
u In the power of the Court to order what
would most conduce TO the moral and material
interests Of Colah and as all the testimony
hnd statements pointed to the conclusion that
i would be best If the lnnatc were removed
10 his own country, the decision OF the Court
coincidcs with that view, aud Coah will be
removed accordingly

Tho Quecn's Cup Rnces--A Testimonial for
tho Winning Yachts.

Ihe international races are over and the
queens Cup remains in possession of the Wv
York Yacht Club. The English yacht Livonia
mas oeen defeated in four races. twice by tho
Columbia and twice by the Sappho, and re-
turns 70 England without having added any
thing to her reputation for speed. Ii has been
satisfactorily settled that tho fame our Yacht
gained in 1851 Is most worthiIy retained bv
those OF later years, and ali Americans should
feel a just pride in the fact that VIC have vet
to be defeated. With knowledge of this We
consider it but an act of justice to Vice Com.
modore Douglas, the owner of the Sappho.
and Rear Commodore Osgood, the owner Of
The Columbia, that the New York Yacht Club.
or tho public should arrange to present to
nial-a substantial token of the manner in
which the performances Of their magnificent
yachts is appreciated by our people. Az il
stands now they have nothing to show;
they have been put to great expense
by reason Of having to keep their
vessels in commission beyond the time
expected; new sails, new rigging and other
matters had to be procured for them, and extra
men were employed And all for WHAT
Why, to sustain q reputation that belonged
not to themselves or their vessels alone, but to
the whole country. Hence it is but fair thai
those who have benefited by the recent spen.
did performances Of the Sappho and Columbia
should signify their appreciation Of it by more
than mere words; they should see that the
men who have done 50 much to serve our
yachting interests and maintain our yachting
reputation receive something worthy Of the
occasion, something that they can hold with
pride and point to with pleasure as the gin
of their fellow countrymen. We believe that
it is only necessary to call the attention Of our
people to this subject in order to awaken their
interest in it, We feel assured that they will
agree with us and respond at once, and in
short time arrange to show our successful
yaohtsmen that services such as they have
performed cannot pass unnoticed and unre.
warded. The eyes of oil England have been
upon these races; they sec that they have
been fairly and CALAMITY won; then do not lei
them look upon the Notifying spectacle OF
the winners services receiving no other re-
cognition than that contained in mere words.

The KU KLUx COMMITTEE to meet in
Washington early next month, intends to pre-
pare most narrowing report of the outrages
in the South for the consideration OF Congress.
Ii also proposes 10 have one or two contnma-
cious witnesses presented before the bar Of
either House, among them General Forrest
and General Ssunders-a very ill-advised pro-
ceeding, as no credit is likely to reflect on the
committee or the House by this contumacious
witness business, and it serves mainly to make
for such men as Forrest some little capital
an martyrs"

The Washington Treaty and the Cotton
Lobby.

Lobby.
Oar Washington correspondence fore
shadows an active lobby business this winter
sion which is appointed to adjust the claims be-
tween England and the United States under the
Treaty of Washington. The 'cotton lobby is
the suitable name given to the combination of
claimants and agents who are preparing to
make a terrible onslaught upon the Treasury.
There is a suspicion that some OF the promi-
-~-s p"''''e - ~"s;-a in nnshin~
the treaty through are directly or indirectly
interested in huge cotton claims that are to be
presented under it. There is a coalition, it is
said, between the Confederates of the South
ard certain prominent radical republicans Of
the North to accomplish the object in view.
We think this is likely, for il is just in accord
ance with the gigantic corrupt schemes worked
up in Washington aud the general corrls,tion
which grew out Of the war and has overspread
the country. No doubt the cotton and other
claims that may be worked up by ouch lobby
will amount to stupendous sum and prove a
great temptation to fraud. The amendment to

ants and the cotton loan of the C0nfcderates,
but this will be circumventcd by British hold
ers OF claims and by host Of interested So
called loyal Americans, unless great vigilance,
honesty and frmness be displayed by the
Commission. Considering the many millions
OF dollars at stake we may expect lively times
in Washington this winter, and such gather
ing Of lobby vultures there as has rarely or
never been seen before.

the New York Charter received repub-
lioan support at Albany, oil power over his
subordinates was taken from the Mayor
and it was provided that no head of depart
ment should be removed except on impeach-
ment before full Court Of Common Pleas.
Fortunately, however, Judge Barnard has
shown us road out of this difficulty, and
that path we now call upon Mayor Hall to
pursue. In granting the Foley injunction
Judge Barnard, in his own words, ''intended
to establish this doctrine-that where no
remedy exists at law Court Of Equity,
by the virtue inherent in itself, pos
sesses the right to step In and invent
.. remedy. Whether the abuse is the
squandering of public funds or other mis-
behavior of officials, the Supreme Court
has the power to correct the evil Nothing
can be more clearly expressed than this, and
1t is certain that under the principle it lays
down Judge Barnard cannot hesitate to
''invent remedy" and to correct the evil
Of the retention Of Tweed in the i'm
portant office of Public Works after
the disclosures made by Messrs. O'Conor
and Tilden. Mayor Hall should there
fore seek the aid of the judiciary,
and as the Charter prohibits his removal Of
the head of department, he should apply for
an injunction or order preventing Tweed from
exercising any longer the powers and duties
Of his Office, and authorizing the appointment
of Commissioner in his place, at all events
until after the legal Investigation of the
charges shall have been made. This is the
only practical and efficient method of meeting
the difficulty. Even the arrest Of Mr..
Tweed, which is said to be contemplated,
would not vacate his Office. 1t would be o
mere formal process upon which he would be
required to give bail to appear to answer any
charges that might be preferred against him.
The sureties would be forthcoming and Tweed
would return to his duties. Nothing is more
certain than this: that public officer, having
control of the expenditure of large
sums of public money, should be free
from such grave suspicious of official
corruption as attach to Mr.. Tweed. The
people believe that he has colluded with dis
honest contractors to defraud the city, and
has put large share OF the plumber into his
own pocket, even If they hesitate to credit
the more serious charges brought against
him. They desire his removal from the
Department of Public Works. Now, will
Mayor Hall seek the aid of Judge Barnard,
who already stands pledged to ''invent
remedy" in eases of official misconduct, aud
carry Out the wishes of the people?

\ Cabinet Crisis in Austria.

A telegram from Vienna informs us that
Count Hohenwart, with the members Of lis
Cabinet placed their designations in the hands
Of the Emperor yesterday, and that it
was regarded as certain that His
Majesty would accept their portfolios and
set about the formation Of new Ministry.
This action leaves Chancellor Beust master Of
the political situation fer the moment. Per-
haps it is well for the country that it is so.
Austria cannot afford to remain divided
by political party prejudices or the discontents
of The different nationalties in view of
the military position of Russia, as it
is set forth to-day ia our special telegram
from ST. Petersburg. The quarrels Of the
Czechs and the Germans must be healed If the
empire is to preserve IFS integrity; but
ii may be that the great northern agitator has
already sounded German sentiment at the
parent home and made sure of its sympathy.

The MORMON WOMEN have drawn up a
petition to Congress, fifty feet long and
eigued by twenty-five hundred petition
era, praying that proceedings against
the Mormons be stayed. They express
belief in the divinity Of the polygsmic system,
and say that they are content as they are.
Some time ago we suggested that the Mormon
wives make themselves heard on the subject,
and doubtless, If the petition is a genuine one,
this is the means they have taken to that end.
1t can hardly be probable that the petition
will affect the trials now pending; but il view
OF the fact that the future Of these unfortunate
women is most dcplorably affected by the
prosecution, il should become subject OF
thoughtful consideration with Congress and
the administration.

NAPOLEON AND BENEpErTr EXPLAIN. In the
HERALD of yesterday we printed Benedettis
explanations and the letter Of the ox-Emporor
Napoleon to the late Sir John Burgoyne. Both
must be regarded as apologies for the failure
and defeat Of France in the late war. As
apologies, both must be regarded as weak and
unsatisfactory. Benedict convinces us that
France was wrong and that Prussia was right;
that the French Ministers were impertincnt
beyond all endurance, and that Emperor Will
liam is regular old brick, who knows when
and how to be civil aud when and how to
snort. Napoleons letter only shows that,
with all his apparent power, he was hut blind
leader Of the blind. After all that both mas
ter and servant have written 1t has still to be
admitted that France was deservedly whipped.
