ANOTHER Snow STORM ON THE PACIFIC
ROAD is reported from Great Salt Lake,
though not of character seriously to in
terrupt the running Of the trains. In the
immediate Mississippi Valley and in the
region of the great lake they have had dur
ing the last two days the heaviest snow fall of
the season, and If we escape similar North
easter this time we may yet have it within
the next two weeks, the season Of our equi-
noctial storms.

FOSTER AGAIN IN CoURT.-Application
was made yesterday before Judge Barrett, of
the Supreme Court, for stay Of proceedings
in the case of William Foster, found guilty Of
murder in the first degree in inficting fatal
injuries with a car hook upon Avery d.
Putnam. As is well known, the Supreme
Court General Term few days since denied
the application for new trial and re-
sentenced him to be hanged on the 22d day of
this month. The object of the present mo-
ton is to allow the case to be carried to the
Court OF Appeals for fresh hearing. The

our own border" 1t is to be regretted that
any member opposed this moderate and sensi-
BILE resolution, yet Mr.. Coughlan, of California,
did oppose it, on the ground that it looked
something like the establishment of q pro-
tectorate over Mexico. The resolution does
not necessarily involve the idea of protec-
torate, and really provides only for a commits
sion of inquiry as to the best policy to be pur-
sued, though in the end absorption Of Mexico
must follow, and we think it would be better
to say at once that either Q protectorate or
absolute annexation is necessary. We cannot
comprehend why a Californian, whose State
and all the Pacific coast must derive great
advantages from annexation, should oppose
this resolution. We hope Mr.. Brooks will
urge it, and that Congress-, irrespective Of
party considerations, will pass it by an over
whelming majority.
Mexico has been for some time and is now
a disgrace to the civilized world The United
States, from high considerations of policy,
cannot permit the interference of any other
Power with that republic. The French and
the exotic empire of Macmillan, which might
have given peace and development to that
country, were not allowed to remain because
we would not tolerate European and mo-
narchical interference with the free territory Of
America. And now the world reproaches US
for permitting or being In measure the cause
of the scandalous state of affairs in Mexico.
We are really held responsible for the fright
IL - Al,o&
Virtually Mexico has been under a protec-
torate of the United States, for it would not
have had even the name Of a republic to-day
had not our government interfered. After
having saved Mexico from foreign domination
and made ourselves responsible to the world
for the civilization of one of the richest and
most important territories of the globe, shall
we permit it to be ruined and the people to
lapse into barbarism? That is really the ques-
ton. Protection of our own citizens and
conterminous border demand interposition.
Humanity and civilization call for interference.
The we'll being of the Mexicans, as well as the
interests of the United States in the develop
ment of the natural wealth of neighboring
country, which is the richest on the earth,
make annexation necessary. The acquisition
of Mexico would in ten years nearly double
the value of our products and vastly increase
our shipping and commerce. 1t would prove
equal to several CALIFORNIA;. 1t would add
seven millions of working population, popu-
lation, too, of a higher grade than the negroes,
and docile and easily managed under proper
authority, and when its labor would be
properly rewarded. The mines of Mexico
would give US, probably, from fifty to hun
dred millions year Of the precious metals,
and we should have all the tropical produc-
tons we need. In every point of view, then,
the annexation Of that country is most desira-
BILE, and we cannot decline to annex it with
out being responsible for the disorders that
exist there and the ruin that is threatened.
Mexico is on the verge of destruction, and
cannot he saved in anv other wav

A SPANISH POLITICAL PARTY processes the
utmost zeal in its loyalty for Amadeus, and
proclaims openly that it is all hopeful for the
youthful monarch in Madrid. French reports
from Paris assert that Spain is on the brink of
revolution, and that several of the revolution
ary ringleaders have been executed quite
lately in Madrid. The allegations are ex.
ceedingly conflicting, to say the least but
with the odds against the men who were

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION, which
comes of on Tuesday next, and the general
result of which is doubtful, will be apt to
settle one important question in any event,
and that is whether the democrats shall fly
their party flag or fight under new flag in
the Presidential contest.

AN AWKWARD MISTAKE.

A curious story was current IN West
Emo circles some years ago The Duke
Of Wellington received a note which he
believed emarated from the Bishop o;
London, requesting permission "to sketch
the Waterloo breeches' The Duke,
though both alarmed and surprised, i'm
medlately ordered the ''small clothes" to
be forwarded to St. James Square, with
the following characteristic epistle: "F.
NJ. the Duke Of Wellington presents his
compliments to the Bishop of London,and
is not aware that the breeches he wore on
the occasion of the battle of Waterloo
differ materially from many other pairs
ID his GTaces possession, but they ere
very much at the Bishops service, and he
can make any use Of them he thinks prop
er. The Bishops consterL alton On re-
Celpt Of the above, with its accompanying
parcel, had the effect of inducing him
Immediately to order his carriage and
drive to the Prime Minister with this sad
proof OF the wreck Of his Grace's mental
powers, whilst the Duke" on the other
hand, mounted his horse and rode to the
residence OF the Lord Chancellor with a
similar announcement in respect to the
Bishop, producing the note he had that
morning received. On closer examina.
ton it was discovered that the writer was
not the Bishop of London, but miss
London," daughter of the great landscape
gardener, and herself an artist of some
celebrity, asking his Grace's permission to
sketch, not the "Waterloo breeches," but
clump Of trees at Strathfeldsaye, Known
as the "Waterloo beeches." The Duke
had mistaken "Loudon" for London"
the Bishops usual signature, the initials
being, singularly enough, the same in both
cases. Miners journal.
