Tho Revolution in Mexico.

1t will be seen by our special dispatches
that the contest in the Northern States Of
Mexico is about TO be brought to decisive
issue, the rebels feeling that the defeat in
flicied on them by Rocha and his steady adj
vance northward will completely dis
courage their adherents unless some
counterbalancing advantage can be gained
over the government troops. They have,
therefore, resolved to make bold effort to
capture Matamoros, where they would find
considerable munitions of war and new field
for the imposition Of forced loans, as well as q
basis Of supplies, of which they stand badly
in need. The Mexican government seems
thoroughly alive to the Importance of
guara 1teeing Matamoros from capture ard
is hurrying troops north by sea under the
command Of General Ccyallos to strengthen
The hands of General Paacios For mo-
ment it appeared as if the advance of the
rebels was about to cause serious compiica-
tons with the United States, on account of
the action which. the Mexican commander
thought ft 10 take in relation TO the free
navigation of the Rio Grande. However, the
strong protest made by General McCook
brought the Mexican commander to sense OF
what was due to the honor and dignity of the
United States and no attempt has been
made to enforce the obnoxious provisions
of the proclamation SO FAR rs they
affect American citizens or ships pro-
tected by the American flag. The
action of the government in ordering
troops to the frontier will meet with the APP
prevail Of the country. We have only one OBJ
lection, and that is that there are not enough
or them. Whatever may be the issue of the
struggle for the possession of Matamoros, our
borders will be infested by bands Of lawlcss
brigands from whose depredations our ci-
zens have right to be protected. II Is OF
the FIRST consequence that the military force
on the frontier should be sufficiently strong
to cope with any force which it might be
obliged to engage. II IL, therefore, desirable
that our force along the Rio Grande should
be further increased. Should Palacio succeed
in repulsing tho attack Of Treyihos army the
advance OF Rocha will leave the rebel leaders
no resource but to break up their army into
small Ddnu5 aUu curry on ucsultofy
guerilla warfare. The position OF our
citizens along the frontier would in that not
unlikely event become decidedly unpleasant
unless troops are at hand to suppress
in a sharp aud decisive manner any
inroads into our territory. It is use
less to expect protection from Mexico
Every day gives stronger proof that that I'M
fortunate country is destined TO be the prey of
anarchy until the time when The public con
science OF our country, thoroughly aroused,
will demand that our government shall put an
end to n state OF society that is an outrage on
civilization.

Opening Of tho Presidential Campaign
rha az

Opening of tho Presidential Campaign
The Voices Of tho States.
The unmistakable cearness of the popular
endorsement Of President Grant and his
administration which came from the closely
contested States of New Hampshire
and Connecticut is finding Its prolonged
echo all over the Union. 1t might
seem superauous to glory in the fact that
little Rhode Island stood stanchly by Its
colors, but 1t is q matter of congratnlation
that the sturdy, thoughtful, solid Bay State has
made most emphatic declaration of republican
policy in its Convention at Worcester yesterday
While pronouncing in favor of General Grants
election, it may be pardoned for coupling
with him the name of one of It's own sons,
Senator Wilson, for the second place on the
ticket but there was something of the manly,
patriotic ring in Governor Cliford's remark
that, no matter how the National Convention
decides, Massachusetts men ''will keep"
In our sister city last night an enthusiastic
mass meeting, which crammed the Academy
of Music, was addressed by Henry Ward
Beecher. His eloquent approval of the work
Of the administration. and his purpose to sup
port the reelection of President Grant, will
tell all over the country, as the utter
ances of an independent and pure minded
man with more swinging force than the
innuendoes of hundred glib -tongued ''sore-
head enemies strong and ringing note
comes, too, from Pennsylvania. The
Keystone State declares unequivocaly
for tue administration which has collected
the revenue, reduced the debt ard protected
It's labor.
Another notable feature Of the campaign,
of which these are the first sounding notes, is
the assembling of the National Coored Con-
venton in New Orleans. Remembering the
leader who closed in around Richmond, and
whose work in peace has been to protect the
interest of the poor freedman against bloody
persecution, their votes and voices will
DO for Grant also. Piping ont from Kansas
comes the first squeal of the ''soreheads"
which has answered the squeak from Missouri,
and debilitaed effort it seems, serving as a
country judge the force of the mighty breeze
which floats the flag of "a wise, honest and
economical administration"
Under no uncertain auspices, then, will the
National Republican Convention meet at
Philadelphia, with platform built not on
mere promises, bu. on triumphant experiences
to call the present incumbent Of the
chief magiserial chair to second
term. The flatuleut patitudes ola hungry oppo-
sition will be left to the men of uncer ain prnci-
pies, who can only agree 10 disagree on national
politics, and who viii be bound to each other by
no tie save that OF condemning an honest officer
whom they hate because they fear. The
country will not look at these mems likings or
dislkngs, but at the record TO which those
who own unbought inteligences can point
with perfect satisfaction as one worthy of the
country, whose interests it has guarded and
whose prosperity it preserves for the good of
the masses.

the issues That grew out, together with the
enormous debt we piled up, kept them in a
doubtful state of mind. Englishmen, parsIcu-
larry. could not see their way clear to transfer
their money, which brought only three, four
or five per cent interest at home, to a country
where they woald get double that. But
this Is all changed Our firmly seated
republic, with its wonderful resources and
debt wasting away at the rate Of a
hundred millions a year, has inspired
confidence and awakened an interest that had
not existed before. European capitalists are
now making large investments in our railroads
and other properties, aud there is prospect
that great portion of the surplus capital both
of England and Germany will DO transferred
to America.
The interest on money and profits on good
Investments here are double, at least, what
they are in England. Should large amount
o! European capital be invested here, as an
ticipated, that would tend to equallze values
and the rate OF interest. II would make
money more abundant here and leave less in
the markets abroad. We do not say this re-
suit would be Obtained in year. ltwould come
in time, however and tho tendency would
be steadily in that direction. And here we
have to consider tho operation of the magnetic
telegraph in such a movement of capital and
in the equalization of values. II will
be found unnecessary, by and by,
to ship specie to any considerable
amount from one country to another, except
In time OF war or under extraordinary
circumstances or even to use bills of exchange
to any great extent, for the telegraph can be
used to answer the same purpose. TRANSACT
lions amounting to millions daily are carried
out in this way now between London and Now
York. Bankers and stock spectators sit in
their Offices in one or other Of these financial
centres and transact business across the At
lantic just as readily az walking into tho next
street for similar purpose. No money
passes, nor is it necessary that any should
pass, except, perhaps, in the long run to make
up balances. The deposit Of cash or the use
Of credit in one city answers all the purpose
for business in the other The telegraph
does the rest. So it is between other
financial centres of different countries
and between cities in the same country.
We see only yet the beginning Of this revo-
luton In the financial affairs Of the world.
The time is not far off when great revulsons
in a commercial country like the United States
will hardly be possible. Capital to any
amount can be used now Instantly wherever
it is needed, and that, in most cases, without
changing the place of deposit. Looking, then,
at the vast accumulated capital In Europe, at
the difference of interest on money there and
in The United States, at the growing conf
dence in the securities and property of this
country, and at our resources and progress,
we have reason to expect great results from
the operation Of the telegraph. In fact, the
time is approaching when New York must
become the financial and commercial centre
Of the world.

Tho Norm Conference.

The annual Conference of the Latter Day
Saints at Great Salt Like City has been in full
blast for several days, and the attendance has
been immense On Sunday last the number of
persons in the Tabernacle was from eight to ten
thousand, and on Monday twelve thousand
men, women and children from all parts of
Utah, and all in their holiday attire, all rejoic-
ing in the opportunity to join in these services
in their holy city of Zion. But the Confer
ence, nevertheless, in consequence of the alb
sence of the First President, High Priest and
Prophet, Brigham Young, has been like the
play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. Second
President Smith was requested by President
Brigham to say that no was in comfortable
health and good spirits, and regretted that ''cir-
Conference The circumstances thus gingerly
referred to are simply the detention, by the
United States judicial authorities of the Pro-
phet in his own house as prisoner indicted
for murder The indgnity is great, but the
old patriarch, sustained by the home comforts
of his harem, bears it like u soldier
But this indgnity was not overlooked I'm
the Conference by Elder Howe, who said that
should the government continue to listen to
SANDERS and lies and refuse to admit decent
Mormons they will still go onward and up
ward for Zion must be bull. up and redeemed.
Meantime Judge Hayden, formerly Of Nevada,
has been added to the Gentle delegation who
go to Washington to protest against the adj
mission of Utah as State, while the Saints,
as usual, are sending out their missionaries 10
bring in more Mormons from Europe. Elder
Sloan goes in this capacity to Ireland, aud a
dangerous field of labor is this assigned TO Elder
Sloan. The chances are very poor for any con-
verts to Salt Lake polygamy in that quarter, but
very good for rough campaign TO this advcn-
h,rous Mormon. Touching the admission Of
Utah as a State with this Mormon sanity
appendsge Of polygamy, the Gentiles Of the
Territory need be under no apprchension3
whatever. II is the fixed policy and purpose
OF the national administration to abolish Nor
mon polygamy as the first essential In the
preparations for State government: for Utah,
and Congress will assist rather than interfere
with General Grant In this undertaking, be-
cause il is the universal wish Of the country
that Mormon poygamy be abolished. The
Salt Lake Conference may resolve to build up
Zion on the system of plurality Of wives in
spite Of the governments but within the next
elk months, we dare say, the Prophet Brigham
and his adulterous hierarchy will have no
choice but the abandonment Of polygamy or a
departure from Utah.

NEw ATLANTIc CABLE PRoyEcr.--Tt appears
there is u movement in London to lay another
telegraph cable across the Atlantic, and, II is
said, from England to New York and thence
10 the West Indies. We are not informed OF
the point in England where the cable is 10

Of tue despatch that the American terminus

enterprise. There seems 20 be no reason why

Three or four Atlantic cables, probably, would
find employment and ample remuneration, and
competition would prove beneficial to the
public. We hope the project will be carried
out promptly.

THE SENATE TARIFF Bill, which embraced
some very desirable reductions OF the tariff,
has been hung up TO dry In the Senate Com
mittcc Of Privileges and Elections. to which
it was referred on being re.urn ed from the
House rs measure no. originally belonging
to the Senate. The point Is this, that the con-
sttution says that all measures for raising
revenue shall originate in the House, and the
House holds TO its jurisdiction. But this dis
put, has very much the appearance of con-
trgance to defeat by evasons and obstruc-
tions any notifications whatever Of our ma
tional taxes 10 the end OF this session OF Con-
gress. II Is the Presidential year, and the
prospect Of any definite action on our tariff or
internal taxes is very slim.

THE Passport SYSTEM ABOLISHED IN
Franco. France is gradually regaining conf
dence IL herself. One Of the latest proofs of this
is that the government has abolished the
passport system which il was found neces-
sary TO establish after the close Of the war.
The passport system was long a nuisance 10
travellers during the empire. II had been
abolished, however, many years before the fall
Of Napoleon. Its re-estabshment nv the
Versailles government was designed only for
temporary purposes. 1t is agreeable 10 know
that the Inconvenience no longer exists.
Heuceiorward travellers will be registered al
the frontiers, aud no tax will be levied there
for, nor viii they be subject to the scrutiny or
civil officers while sojourning in the country.
Ia rabolishing the order requiring passports
President Theirs has we think, acted wisely.
The summer season IS close AZ hand. Thou
sa.ds Ut trav Hers from Great Britain from
various parts Of Europe and from the United
States, who would have avoided France had
this order remained in force will now visit the
country aud spend their money freely among
the French people. The money which is thus
brought 10 France every year is not 70 BE-
despiscd. II il reasonable to conclude that
France this year will b. inundated with
travellers and that the amount OF money TO be
spent by them in the country will be- more than
usually large. Some little Inconvenience may
result from the change; bit, on the whole, II
mnst bc pronounced wise arrangement.

A sineularly constituted man, that
Horace Greeley. Run over and crushed
as he is, politically, still he comes up
smiling, feeling no soreness which is ap-
parent and treating his own cssndidative
cadayerin . way that.is sltOsethes Gree
lyish. sef-composed and philosophical.
Horace does, nevertheless cherish malis-
mites and salts down'old hates and dis
appointments: Oxide the Chicago Con
vention and Stewards disappointment
but there is semi supernal, non COM
batire, analytical self-inspeetive some
thing about the 1nan-an Inevitable reas-
oning with and of himself, which makes
him appear as if he were lily-livered and
lacked gall. The weekly Tribune Of Nov.
Is, which is before US is an entertaining
heet. 1t contains, amongst other things.
Horace's card of assumptions. which has
been widely reported by telegraph. There
is an article headed Conclusions. which
treats of the matter in duly numbered
paragraphs after an Horatian fashion,
and which, while sustaining Mr.. Gre,lay's
own amour propse, affects to treat the
two opposing Presidential candidates as
equally in the attitude of third parties,
so far as the writer of said conclusions is
concerned. Under the head of A Newer
Departure, Mr.. Greeley says:
Certain Liberal Republicans of Cincinnati
have resolved to organize Afresh on ehe basis of
that good old platform. excluding the Tariff
plank and substituting one affirming the expedi-
ency Of Tariffs for Revenue only. They doubt
les believe that they have here planted them
selves on principle; we think otherwise. They
evidently do not intend that every thing import
ed shall pay uniform rate Of duty, since this
country never had such Tariff. nor do we rec
collect that such was ever proposed, even BY
Mr.. C.lhoun.- Great Bri tim has /. Tariff. which
taxes certain loaiing articles and admits every
thing else free. Our Free Traders last year petit
toned Congress to make Pig iron. sugar and salt
free. And why pig iron? Because it is thu
basis, the chief raw material, of many import
ant industries. That may BE- . good reason
but il is not the reason Of the Free Trader. If
Revenue alone is 10 be considered. no other A.
ticle will produce it more readily or at less :
pense in leyying and collecting than pig iron
which is seldom or never snrIgsled.
The Tariff question IS likely to be thoroughly
canvassed in 1876: bua it seems untimely to rais4
it now. The public mind is weary of political
agitation, and signs for . season of peace and
quiet.
