The LATEST News FROM MEXICO is favor
able to the return of peace and confidence in
that sorely tried country. We have had many
such reassuring reports ere now-reports which
have unfortunately nearly always been con-
tradicted by subsequent events. In the pres
emit instance we are, however, disposed to
attach some belief to the intelligence commu-
nicated by the despatch via Havana. The
revolutionary leaders, it is stated, have &c
cepted the preferred amnesty. President Lerdo
de Tejada carries his desire for reconciliation
even so far as to appoint General Porfrio Diaz
to some post of importance. This policy does
honor to the head and heart of President Lerdo.
Porfrio Diaz is one of the best military Off
GERS in Mexico, and generous terms to such
q foe will effect more good than harsh treat
ment. Among the varied news contained in
the despatch from the Mexican capital there is
also serious charge against the United States
Minister to Mexico It is alleged that on
American citizen named Thiele has been in
nocently detained in prison without any ener-
getic action being taken in favor of his liberia
ton. It is to be hoped that Minister Nelson
will be able to refute this accusation.

nearly $4,000 over Slocun, and in 1866 Fen
ton was elected Governor over Hoffman by
majority of 1879. But in 1867 there was
change which marked in New York the be-
ginning Of the restoration Of the democratic
party, for in that election tho Democratic
State ticket was carried so decisively that in
the case of John D. Fay for Canal Commits
sioner it rose to q popular majority of $4,000,
the average democratic majority being about
$4,000. But again this majority was cut
down in 1868 To 10000 for Seymour over
Grant upon popular vote in round numbers
of $4,000. In 1869 the democrats swept the
board and in 1870 Hoffman was reelected
Governor over woodford by 80, 900 majority.
This brings us to another revolution in the
whirligig of our State politics-the revolution
of 1871 against the manifold sins, transgres-
sions and corruptions of the Tammany Ring
and the result was the election Of the republi-
can State ticket by some twenty thousand ma
jority, republican victory which embraced
more than two-thirds of each House in the
Legislature. What has since followed in the
way of municipal reform and judicial purif-
cation we need not here repeat; the story
would be tiresome. It is certain that the re-
publican Legislature, chosen for the important
work of o correction Of the manifold abuses
which had crept into our city government,
failed to meet the just expectations of the peo-
pie, and it is certain, too, that the people, in
this coming election, will want to know the
reasons why. We have shown, from the ups
and downs of our political parties in New
York, that our elections here are not fixed in
any party ruts or channels, but that it will be
found that they are controlled by the leading
issues of the day, local and national, whether
the election goes by default or is carried by Q
majority upon full popular vote. But it il
only upon full popular vote that we can form
anything like fair estimate of the strength

Following Father Hyacmihe's Ey-
amplp,

Father Hyacinthe's example will be
followed, it would appear, by a large
number of French priests, who, theS
Patrie states, are going to renounce
publicly their VOWS of celibacy. The
publicity of the renuucItion is the
chief novelty connected with the mar
rage OF Priests IN France. 3 The Paris
Journal is supporter Of the throne
and altar, and held in favor at the
Archepiscopal Palace behind Notlo
Dame. Aud it says that in the diocese
Of Paris alone the average number of
priests who marry is from 90 TO 30 in
the year. 1t mentions that when the
Able Michaud announced to the Arch
bishop his intention to take wife he
met with no opposition. All that was
said to him, Marry, since you must
but make no noise about IT. The
French priests aspiring to matrimony
have great difficulty in persuading wo-
men Of respectable rank to espouse-
them. There is (says Paris corre
spondenD both strong prejudice
against Cburchmen who break their
VOWS Of celibacy, and a legal hinder
ance to their getting married. Tho
nulity of priests marriage was es-
tablished a few years ago in a celebra-
ted suit in which Madame Claude
Vignon, the accomplished Parliament
tary correspondent of the Independ-
ence Beige, was plaintiff.
This lady, who has just become the
wife of NJ Rouvier. Marseilles de.
putty had not much trouble IN putting
away her first husband, because he had
not been i'll holy orders before she mar
ried him. The childr born of the
marriage went to the mother, for the
father was incompetent to give them so
much as the quasi legal status of en-
fu1lts rocOHHuS. Jules Favre eXerted
all his eloquence on behalf Of the re-
pudated husband; but the tribunal
before which the case was brought rul-
ed that marriage with the Church
precluded civil matrimony." This
jurisprudence is disgrace to French
society. But it is fact which should
not be overlooked by Indies who fancy
French priests.

But how he laughed! Do you suppose
He struck his funny bone?
There's sunshine in each word he speaks,
His laugh is something grand;
Its ripples overrun his cheeks,
Like waves on snowy sand.
He laughs the moment he awakes,
And till the day is done;

THE DETECTIVES AND THE DIAMOND ROE
Berry,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
DEAR SR-In this mornings HERALD there is IN
article about the diamond robbery that has a
tendency to injure the reputation Of two innocent
ladies well myself; so, to avoid all future mis-
takes of that kind, will give plain statement OF
the facts:-
On Monday afternoon, the day before the rob-
berry, walked up Broadway with two ladies whom
have known for some time and who are wen
known to be thoroughly respectable. We stopped
at our mutual friends store (Mr. Johnson), and
everything occurred your artistic correspondent
stated; but where the mistake occurred that
caused the supposed new clue was by MT. johnson
thinking had been robbed that day instead OF the
next. When l returned to my boarding house
that evening l had the diamonds, and on
the next morning j had the diamonds
in my hand and looked and counted
them over put them into my pocket and went out
OF the house without seeing any or the inmates,
and had my breakfast at restaurant on Broad
way; walked over TO the New York Hotel and stood
on the stOop for about fifteen minutes waiting for
q gentleman with whom | had an engagement.
After seeing him for Ave minutes took the stage,
missed the diamonds, and found my pocket cut,
when arrived opposite the City Hall. On Wednes-
day Captain Irving sent for me aud said he had
been following up the supposed clue OF this morn
ing's HERALD. and asked me IL l had been robbed
on Monday. When informed him IL was on Tues
day he Immediately saw that his men were on the
wrong scent, and was satisfied that the ladies In
question not the slightest degree connected
with the affair. am confident that no woman has
anything to do with IL, and. furthermore. never
expect to see the diamonds again, and I'm not 60
ing to trouble myself about II any more. I've had
an 1000 lesson and don't want any more tutors
In that line.
