MEXICAN AFFAIRs.-By telegram from the
HERALD special correspondent in Havana we
have later dates from the city Of Mexico.
The Mexican Congress will meet in the early
part Of this month, and the first business to
be brought before that body is the agreeable
inform ,tion that defalcation has been dis
covered in the Treasury of million of dol
lars. This will be cause for impeachment.
The deficiency has been caused, so it is re-
ported, by secret services paid for in connec-
tion with putting down revolution in one of
the States. Another candidate for the Presi-
dency is on the carpet and it is openly as
ssertcd that, no matter who is elected, revoiu-
ton is certain. Poor Mexico! Peace is not
for her. She is the victim of wars and revo-
lutions, anarchy, bloodshed and all the ills
that Spanish American republics are heir to.

Police DISCIPLINE.

The communication which we published on
Tuesday from an ex-captain Of police suggests
many improvements which might be made in
the management of the police force, and we
must say that there has been abundant reason
of late to sustain the truth of the suggestions.
Our police system has not bsen conducted
upon those strict principles of discipline neces-
sary for the protection of life and property.
Very gross charges, for instance, have been
occasionally brought against members of the
force, which have resulted in their dismissal;
but what guarantee have we that the places of
the dismissed officers will be filed by mora
trustworthy persons? 1t is all very well to
punish offenders, but 1t would be a
great deal better to establish such q
system Of discipline as would pre-
vent the commission of the offence. An old
proverb says that 'tan ounce of prevention is
better than pound of cure" This might ap-
ply very appropriately to the Police Depart
ment. The correspondence to which we refer
contains the allegation that the Superintendent
of Police has really no independent power at
all-that he is q superintendent merely in
name and subject in the exercise Of his will
and judgment to the commands Of the four
Police Commissioners or such portion of them
as may constitute majority when they come
together. If chief of police has no control
over the men under his command his position
only represents wooden fgurehead, and he
might as we'll be invested with the SEM
blance of an authority which he does not
possess.
The Police Commissioners should explain
this. They should Define for the satisfaction
of the public, the exact status of the Superin-
tendent-how far he is a master or cipher in
the management of the men, who are sup
posed to be responsible to him for the faithful
discharge of their duty. Divided RESPONSE
bility is always dangerous, If not worthless.
We know by experience that cabinet OF
ministers cannot conduct campaign with half
the efficiency which one general in the field
can. A disciplined force must have unit at
its head, and this is just as true of our police
establishment as 1t is Of grand army. Per-
haps we may trace good deal Of the increas-.,
ing crime In the city-ihe assaults and homi-
cides, especially notable on Sunday nights
to the lack Of discipline in the police force,
owing to the fact that the Superintendent is
crippled in the exercise Of his authority by the
redtapism of the Police Board. If this be SO
it should be corrected at once. In many heads
there may be much wisdom when brought
together in council, but it takes the one man
power to keep disciplined force in effective
working order.

Insnrrectionary Attitude Of the Paris Reds.
Our special and other advices from Paris in
dicate strongly bloody collision between the
Guards. The latter are strongly entrcnched
.on the hill of Montmartre, and our special cor
respondent in the city reports that they have
erected an immense barricade in Rue st.
Pierre. It was expected that the insurgents
would be attacked yesterday, but our des-
patches from Paris remaining silent on the
subject, we must conclude that the attack was
postponed. 1t is evident, however, that the
French government cannot much longer tenn
porize with the disafected National Guards;
neither can it, consistently with Its own
future, enter into any compromise with them.
The authorities, it is stated, will soon instruct
General de Paladines to restore order, and
General Vinoy threatens already to bring
large force to bear upon the hostile reds
If they persist in maintaining their defiant
attitude. AS counterblast we have
report that the National Guards thre aten to
dissolve the Assembly if it should meet at
Versailles. Nothing is clearer than that one
side or the other must give in before long.
Continued hesitation on the part of the recog-
nized government Is direct incentive to the
reds to persist in their disorderly demonstra-
tions. Decision and energy seem lacking In
Paris, for surely, if the authorities possessed
them, handful of rebellous National Guards
could not maintain their hostile attitude so
rnapv daya Donht1eaa M Thiara chrnku
from giving the order that will result in the
shedding of blood; but it seems to Us that
it would be an easy matter to surround and
starve out The insurgents without firing gun
excepting in self-defence. Certainly the con-
dition of Paris is not favorable to order and
stable government, and the temporizing course
thus far pursued by the civil and military
authorities are indications rather of weakness
than Of humanity.

Southern Outrares.

The long promised report of the committee
appointed by the Senate to investigate the
alleged outrages of political character in the
Southern States was yesterday made public.
The report Of the majority of the committee is
long and discursive, giving few facts in regard
to the subject under investigation, but show
ing co2clusively that most terrible
state Of affairs has prevailed in many
Southern States for several years. The
committee confined its Investigations almost
exclusively to the disturbances in North
Carolina. and inquired particularly into
the character of the several secret political
organizations which existed in that State.
The Union League and other orders composed
of Union men are shown to have no other
objects in view save the success Of the
republican party while the Ku Klux
Klan, under which nomenclature is included
several kindred associations, was proven
to bind its members to carry out whatever
DEGREES the order might impose upon tn an.
The Ku Kluxes in North Carolina-forty thou
sand strong--instituted reign Of terror
unparalleled in the history of the country, and
through their instrumeutality negro voters were
prevented from going to the polls, thus throw
ng the State into the hands Of the democracy.
The committee concludes by asserting that the
Ku Kluxes have forced the issue of govern
ment or anarchy, and that against the power
of this order the authorities of the State are
powerless TO secure to its citizens s'life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
The minority of the committee-Senators
Bayard and Blair--dissent from the conclu-
sions of the majority, and protest, in the name
of the constitution and the laws, against all
inquiry by committee Of Congress into the
internal and domestic concerns Of a State.
They declare the affair to be plan cut and
dried by q conspiracy formed of disappointed
politicians who have been thrust out of
Office by an indignant people. The head
of this conspiracy is Governor Holden,
who has beggared the Treasury of his
State, plundered, outraged and be-
trayed his people, and now looks to
the federal government to rescue him from i'm
pending punishment. The present measure
was instigated in furtherance of this scheme,
and the whole cause of the disturbances is
traced to the misrule of carpet-bag State off,
GERS, unwise legislation by Congress and the
Vaccinations Of the Loyal League.

ESCAPE FROM THE WoRKHousE.-Charles
Dickens, Abram Brown, Robert Johnson, alias
sugarfoot James Drayton. alias Bummer Jim,
and Jacob Butler, Dye notorious characters. sue
ceeded in effectlng their escape from the Work
house at a late hour Sunday night. They had
been allowed to come out to their meals as usual
on Sunday, and, In returning to their quarters,
had succeeded In getting hold OF two iron bars
about foot and half long. The five were con
fined in large apartment on the second story Of
the southwest wing Of the house. During the
night, they prlsed OF ths beam which held the
staple OF the lock to their door, and got out into
the corridor. Walking about thirty feet down
this, they came to window which had been
broken by shell during the war, and been re.
paired with boards. The grating va. quickly
prlsed out, and. the boards being removed, the
party let themselves down into the yard by
means OF blanket tied to q board, laid trans-
Versey across the window. AS loon as the lights
around were put out, they smashed the lock to
the gate In the high fence separating the Work.
house from the Hospital, and, getting into the
adjoining yard, leaped the Hospital gate into the
street. They were seen Ia the act of breaking
the lock In the yard, and the blows OF the iron
bar gave the alarm, but 1t was too late to capture
them, and the five have not since been heard
from. The plan pursued was simile1 to that in
the last oreak-out, when two OF the present es-
capists were among the party. 1t was quite
easily efec:Sssi, owing to the dapidated state OF
tatDullding, which has never been repaired since
the war, Notwithstanding the frequent com:
plants Of the keeper. The fugltives are al old
hands, and fine crop Of burglaries and rob.
berries may be shortly expected.
