MExICo.-The condition of public af-
fairs in Mexico is truly deplorable. The
utmost confusion reisns, there seems NO
stability of men, parties or institutions,
nothing but anarchy on every hand.
What Mexico needs more than nything
else is to be saved from herself The
government which Maximilian founded
promised to do this, and it was an evil
day for the unhappy country when it was
everthrown. The only resource now left
for her salvation is the interference of the

There is no longer concealment of the fact
that Queen Victoria is seriously i'll, and
that she is wholly incapable of appearing

CROPS IN CALIFORNIAN COUNTY.-Tbs
st. Johnsbury Caiadonian says that not
withdrawing the cold and dry summer,
the crops in that section of Vermont are
generally very good. The hay crop in
some sections was light, but in Others
taking quality into consideration, it Ws'
nearly of usual value. Ike oat crop has
not been SO good for years. The same Il
true of wheat. Potatoes ere of unusual
good quality this year, and in great con-
trast to last years crop. Corn is the Only
grain that there seems to be diversity Of
opinion on, but it looks more hopeful
every day; the growth is good and II
frosts are not too early, there will Dc
good crop of corn. On the whole, Faefs
is every reason to expect b" ,untiful
harvest this fall.

answered thss those who advocated the
immediate imposition Of burdens for the
purpose Of paying interest coupons Of
stolen bonds wers the chiefest OF repudi-

law authorizing the issuance Of these
stolen bonds Tss presented TO sTery pnT-
chaser Of these bonds; that the law
declared thss the bonds should not be
sold for less than their fsce vslue;" that
the STATE deemed All other sales void; that
purchasers acquired no title 70 these
bonds; that no broker ever bought State
bond vi hout q thorough Investigation of
the laws under which they were issued !;
that there were, therefore, no 'innocent
holders" Of stolen bonds, and that the
people Of Tennessee recognised no legal
or moral obligation TO pay the debt created
