Late advces from Mexico represent the
backbone Of the rebellion as broken, and the
rebels finding their last ditch in the Pacific
States of the Republic. Both the figures here
used are so familiar to American readers that
it is quite refreshing to find them current
elsewhere; but there is singular appropriate
ness in the rebels making the Pacific ports
their last harbor of refuge. Sinaloa, Sonora,
and COlima are always in a chronic state of
revolution and anarchy, and the idea of send
ing an expedition thther to crush out the
revoiutionists will strike a little cOmically

When the astounding charges against Mr..

1t would appear so; four days have passed
since those charges were made public, and no
steps have been taken to look into the scandal.

It ia worth while to notice this instance Of sloy
emily legislation It has just been discovered In
Maine that for year past the Superior Court Of
Cumberland County has been without criminal
jurisdiction. because. at the last revision of the
statutes the provisions comforting such Jurisdictions
were omitted. Meanwhile, the Court went on ar
raigning, trying, convicting and sentencing Grim
ina offenders just il it had legal right to do
What was to be done now 7 There the rascals wen
in jail and it was equally clear that by every prn,
ciple of law they should be liberated. This would
not do, however; and so the Legislature after talk
ing the matter over voted to legalize the dongs Of
the Court. This is queer way Of getting over
difficulty, and one which tho Supreme Court Of
Maine will hardly sanction, if, by accident the
question of the validity of tho act could be raised
before it.
