The impeachment of Senior Romero and other
Ministers of the Mexican Government appears
10 be partisan measure, or what Americans
would call an "electioneering dodge" designed
to affect the pending Presidential election in
that country. The Judge of the Supreme
Court who will try them is a rival of Juarez
as candidate for the Presidency, and their
condemnation is, therefore, considered certain.
One of the most serious charges against Juarez
and his Ministers is that he and they are con-
spring to place the country under the govern
ment of some foreign country--meaning, more
particularly the United States. But here this
charge will be considered very trivial indeed

Two cases involving the constitutionality OF
the Legal Tender act are to be reOpened i'll
the Supreme Court to-day, that new argu-
ments may be heard. They had already been
submitted, but not decided, though III SINH
lar suit the Court year ago decided that the
law was not constitutional as to contracts
made before its passage in 1862 Neverthe-
less, arguments are to be heard on this point,
and also as to its applicability to contracts
made since 1862. Since the decision on the
first issue two new Judges have taken
their places on the Supreme Bench,
and will hear the present arguments. 1t is
well known that these two officers just pre-
vious to their appointment, were heavy stock
holders in railways largely interested in the
decision now to be made, and for this reason
the cases thus reopencd attract an unusual
share of public attention. a reversal Of the
former decision under these circumstances, and
in the haste which has been apparent, will
naturally cause comment not altogether COM
plimentary to the two Judges thus called upon
to decide issues they we're arguing as paid ad-
vocatcs less than a year ago.

Comments bu The Tribune.


We print the above paragraphs as striking
illustrations of the atrocities of journalism.
Senator FentOn was in this City on Friday,
and left for Washington that evening. This
is fact. The Times asserts that he met Jay
Could've presume was called on by Gould
as by many others. Such is the entire
foundation for The JimeS's pagOda of
guess-work and libel. That Winans was
spoken of, or even thought of, at that
interview, there is not shadow of
evidence. That Gov Fenton desired, or sus-
pected, or imagined, that Winans would betray
his party, could not be known to The Times if
ii were true and we are certain that it is not
true. We see rather more of Gov. FentOn
than The Tines does, and know him not to be
a fool If he had chosen to have a Republi-
can vote with the Democrats, he would have
selected one who did not live in Chautauqua
County.
Gov. Fenton was far from home last Fall
when Winans was nominated for the Assembly.
We know that the former has many friends in
Chautauqua County, but never heard Winans
named as one of them. We understand that
he was quite active last Fall in the Sessions
oranti-F ent0n interest-that which was strongly
backed by the Custom-llOuse here.
We do not know that Gov. Fenton will deem
The TinieSs calumny deserving of notice. Never
yet was so black "A charge so utterly devoid of
proof as that which accuses Gov. Fenton of
selling out lis party because of report that
he met JAY Gould.
