Tho Civil War in Mexico,


urspecial despatch from the Mexican capi-
tai informs us that General Diaz has headed
formidable revolt and that a general rising
against the government OF Juarez is expected
on the lst of December, at which date the end
of the existing term of the Presidency of Jua-
req will have expired. The revolt against the
government has assumed already formida able
proportions and is widespread. There will
continue to be, probably, the usual alterna-
tion OF defeats and successes on both sides in
this internecine war, and the country will be
sinking into worse and worse condition all
the time. There is no hope for Mexico through
the Mexicans themselves. 1t would be a bless
Ing to that people and benefit to the world IL
the United States were to send an army across
the Rio Grande, suppress all the rival factions
and annex the whole country from the border
OF Arizona to Central America. In ten years
the wonderful IMMORAL and agricultural wealth
Of Mexico would become developed to such
degree that the products would astonsh the
world. The example Of California shows what
might be expected. We should find several

it not the duty Of the United States to save
such splendid country from ruin and to bring

The Executions in Cuba-Protectiea for
Americans.

The Exccuti0us IN Cubn-Frotection ZOE
Americans.
Our dispatches from Havana and Washing
ton give the particulars of another wholesale
outrage on the part OF the weak Spanish
government 10 the Island of Cuba. Eight
OF the medical students In Havana who
desecrated the grave of General Castaiion
on Thursday last and who were at once ar
rested, were tried by court martial yesterday,
in obedience to the clamors of the volunteers,
found guilty and sentenced in the morning
and shot in the afternoon. There has proba-
bly, never been so outrageously summary
o proceeding transacted, under pre-
tence of law, even in Spanish American
countries. For cruelty aud wantonness
it will cast our Indiana lynching ex-
periences far into the shade. 1t shows
not only the vindictiveness Of the Spanish
volunteers in Cuba and their almost supreme
power over the regularly cons ituted authori-
ties of Havana, but it shows, also, that the
Spanish American people, ignorant, fanatic
and brutal as they are, have not sufficient
sense of the value Of human life to be en-
trusted with the government OF others. In no
other nation under the sun, civilized or savage,
neither in Mexico or the Fijis, would such
number Of young men, the rising strength of
the nation, have been so suddenly and remorse-
lessly butchered, for crime comparatively
SO insigni6cant-a mere youthful indiscretion,
doubtless-or to satisfy so unreasonable
demand for vengeance as the volunteers sent
up in their rage. Such mockery of govern
ment is not only unfit to govern at all, but it
is unfit to be trusted by the other Powers Of
the globe. The United States should not
leave her commercial interests in Havana
and her numbers of citizens carrying
on business in that city or else visiting
it for the winter exposed to the unruly
temper Of this volunteer mob. Indeed,
our Consul General has already cause to fear,
and has telegraphed for ship-of-war or two
to protect the Americans and American in
terests which he has in charge. The fact that
there is only one ship near at hand-the Nip
sic-and that it was sagely debated in the
Presidents Cabinet yesterday whether they
had not better have the monitor Terror towed to
Havana from Key West are enough to show
how lily appointed is our naval service in the
West Indies. Finally Admiral Lee was
ordered to depart at once, but il was doubtful
whether he would 60 in the Severn or wait
for the fitting out of the Worcester. Alto
gether the muddle in which the United States
Navy finds itself at this sudden threatening
of hostilties in Cuba is almost as disgraceful
as the wanton murder of the students by the
volunteers themselves.

the annexation Of Mexico, in view Of an early
redemption Of the national debt in coin; and
this new party may, erhaps, in its first cam
paign, seize the reins of the government.
In this platform we regard the annexation
of Mexico as the main thing. II was the pop
ular hurrah for the the annexation of Texas
that enabled the obscure Polk to beat the
ilnstrious Henry Clay in the Presidential cleo
ton Of lS4t, and from the grand results that
have followed the annexation Of Texas
We are satisfied that the campaign cry
OF the annexation of Mexico will be
as popular in 1872. General Grant may feel
30 discouraged ny the failure of his st. Do
mingo experiment as to give the cold shoulder
to this idea of manifest destiny" in regard to
Mexico. We are afraid that he and his party
will give 1t the go-by. Here, then, will
be the opportunity for the democracy and the
disaffected republicans, fused together in q
new party, for splendid fight on the Mexican
annexation question. Look at those silver
mines and tropical plantations Of Mexico. In
the hands Of our government and people they
could be made to pay off our national debt in
q single generation, with a reduction of our
present national taxes 10 the extent Of hum
dred millions.
At any rate, looking to the reorganization of
the democracy and the loose materials Of the
country as new party, we are confident that
this party could not start into business upon
better basis Of capital than the popular cam
paign cry Of "Our manifest destiny-the an
nexation Of Mexico" A new party must have
some new idea, and this is the new idea for
the democracy as a new party. 1t would run
like fire in the prairies, sweeping every
thinp hafore IL

isinx Sign.

THO Grand Jurv's Investixation-A Prom.
isinx Sign.
The Grand Jury came into Court Yesterday
and Informed Judge Bedford that thev vers
busily engaged in the performance Of their
duties, but that they had 80 much work before
them that they would be unable to complete II
within the time remaining of the term OF the
Court of General Sessions. Judge Bedford
assured the Jurors that he would look into the
law, and II 1t should be found within the
power Of the statute to extend their term he
would assuredly do so.
There is no question Of the power OF
the Court to hold over the Grand Jury
by extending the term OF the Court OF
General Sessions, and thus to give them
all the time they may require to complete the
Investigations on which they are engaged.
The Revised Statutes, article l, title 4, part
4, section 10, provides for the drawing Of the
names of thirty-six persons ito serve as
Grand Jurors at such Court Of Oyer and Ter
miner or General Sessions Of the city and
county Of New York, that is to say, at the
term Of the Court then provided by law. The
law of 1859, chapter 2Os, page 4G5, provides
| as follows:- =
SECTION LIT shall be lawful for the Court OF
Sessions OF any county OF TINS state to continue lts
slttings at any term thereof so long as II may be
necessary in the opinion OF sucn Court, for the de-
spalch Of any business or the determination Of any
! Cases That may be pending before such Court.
The power to thus extend the term of the
Court, and as consequence to continue the
existence of the Grand Jury drawn for !hs
tern, tern, !. more Specifically given to the city
and couu.y Of New York by the act of 1862,
session laws OF that year, chapter 10, page 10,
which provides as follows =
SECTION 1.-The Court OF General Sessions OF the
| peace IN and for the city and county OF New York
Is hereby empowered to extend any OF It's terms and
To make any adj0urnments OF the SAID Court within
Its discretion by order or orders to said effect
| duly entered in It's minutes.
1t seems to be clear, therefore, that Judge
| Bedford has power to hold over the present
Grand Jury by extending the term of his
| Court, and thus to enable them to complete
| the important duties now before them. This
Is the more important since the decision in
the Hagerty and Baulch case may be the
means of developing further material facts in
connection with the city frauds. Judge Bed
ford will, no doubt, extend the term, and We
| shall then see whather the new Ring politi-
clans. Ehe asEs neg :. anxious to stand 1 in ths
i way of justice, will still sneer at the judge.
| The District Attorney and the Grand Jury, and
| accuse them of false pretences in their efforts
TO bring the city plunderers to punishment.

The italian Parliament in Rome-The EIiGce
Crowned.

Crowned.
After centuries of patient waiting and
humiliation and sorrow, the Italians have
made Rome their capital, and the ancient
City of the Seven Hills, Of Romulus and
the Caesars, has become once more the
central and governing city of great, free and
united people. The event which took place on
Monday last, when the Italian Parliament met
in Rome and when the King Of Italy delivered
his speech from the throne, was not surprise,
because we have long been aware that such an
event was approaching but it is not the less
on that account the grandest event in these
modern times. Rome, in the hands of the
Pope, was the stronghold and the bulwark Of
tyranny. Rome to-day, in the hands Of Victor
Emmanuel is the symbol of liberty. Once
more, after well nigh two thousand years, an
ancient privilege will be resumed, and the
modern Roman will be able proudly to use the
language of st. Paul, ''Sum ci0iS ROmanus."
The spirit of Cavour must now be satisfied. The
edifice Of Italian unity is crowned. Amid the
many causes of joy not the least important is
that the Holy Father still finds it convenient
to remain in the Holy City. With a sacred
and secular court Rome may become the
Paris of the future. Victor Emmanuel is en-
titled to some praise for the words Of kindness
he spoke regarding the Vatican. The Italian
people will mar the beauty Of the edi6cc
which they have so laboriously constructed if
they make it a necessity for the Pope to leave
Rome

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES -
London was agitated yesterday morning by
The circulation Of report announcing that the
condition OF the Prince Of Wales during the
past night was very unfavorable for his ulti-
mate recovery. The medical bulletin, which
was issued at noon, reassured the people.
The Prince enjoyed sleep in the night and the
fever appeared to be abating. The physicians
stated also that the Illness Of the Princess
Alexandra, his wife, was mot serious" The
crisis of the fever will most likely be on the
Prince before evening to-day.

The Brussels Agitation Rene WED.

The municipal agitation has been renewed
in Brussels. The people call for the dismissal
Of the Ministry. This fact proves the correct
ness of our first impression that the outcry
against NJ De Decker was raised with the
sole view of heralding much more important {
advance on the part of the Municipality. The
sacrifice of De Decker has not satisfied
the citizens; on the contrary, 1t has en-
couraged them. The tumult has been carried
to the gates Of the Palace of the Nation. The
appearance of the multitude was threaten
ing during the day yesterday. The police
were able to prevent the commission Of actual
violence; but they did not attempt to dis
perse the crowd. 'Resign!" ''resign!' was
shouted on every side OF the Palace. Our
cable telegram states that the temper of the
Belgians in Brussels was dangerous. The
Ministers were likely to yield. Such are
the gradations Of the onward step OF
democracy in the Old World. An Oh.
noxious Minister removed first, the police
powerless, then the military out of sight, the
crowd at the gates Of the palace, q Cabinet
gone, and crown, perhaps, obliterated. It
was 80 in lS4s Napoleon and Eugene have
experienced il since. When the people stood
before the palace in Vienna in 1S48 they cried
Let Metternich resign The Emperor
would have opposed them with cannon. Baron
de John OF Austria was more prudent, how
ever. He advanced 10 window and said,
''Why this Metternich has resigned2" lie

pie have not forgotten the path which leads
to free and cheap government since --and the
lesson is of European application.

The proposition of Mr.. Voorhees,, then, for
a National Convention for the reconstru uction
Of the democratic party is, we repeat, the only
thing which meets the dismantled and demor-
ahzed condition Of the party organization.

first, TO reconstruct the party in preliminary
national convention, aud then 10 another con-
| vcntion OF tie party as reconstructed 10 nomi-
nate Presidential ticket Clean work could
be made by this plan Of operations. For in
stance, let the reorganiJng convention de-
clare, first, that as all the measSres and issues
for which the democratic party have been
fighting since the election to the Presidency of
Abraham Lincoln have been rejected by the
people, and as the whole programme OF
measures OF the republican party, including
the abolition Of slavery aud the elevation OF
the negro to the status Of . citizen and .
voter, have been Hxed in the constitution, the
democratic organization having nothing left to
stand upon is hereby dsbanded. Second,
that in order to deta cb entirely the elements
OF the late democratic party from the dead
men and dead issues Of the war, this corven-
ton procia'ms the creation OF new parry
under the name Of The Liberal Union party,
and invites all men Of liberal ideas, without
