MEXICO.

II IL so common for Americans to
speak lightly and tauntingly of eveNi
thing happening in Mexico, that IA
age will be necessary to correct many
ofthe chronic misapprehensions In re-
gard to that long-struggling country.
The wonderful achievements OF the
friends of constitutional government
since the real struggle began, about
forty years ago, 90 for naught with Nip
pant and superficial writers, who write
for the present moment, without delv-
ing into the real lessons Of hard-earned
Mexican experience. The truth Is
that since the first cry was raised for
those forms without which liberty was
impossible, by Valentine Gomez Farias,
in 1923, the followers Of that sterling
old Democratic republican have main
tanned the struggle against abuses, mo-
nopolies, privileged orders and tyranny
in every form, with fidelity unsw-
passed by any people similarly situated
In ancient or modern times. They
have risen from defeatafter defeat, and
through seas of blood, steadily, at the
decade gaining strength. Their ban
ner has been inscribed with liberty OF
speech, trial by jury, an elective
Republican government, an independ-
ent Judiciary, separation of church and
State freedom of religion and the edu-
cation of the people. They stand to-
day, feeble and bleeding with wounds,
but in possession of the government,
with most of their cherished funda-
mental principles embodied in their
constitution, and education steadily
spreading over the country, freedom
of religion guaranteed, and the power
of the old despotism so long upheld by
Santa Anna. Bustamente Paroles and
the friends Of monarchy. broken to

Among its ACHE vements is the great
railway, for two hundred and seventy
miles from Vera Cruz on the sea to the
city Of Mexico, in full operation
months past, with branch thirty
miles to the great city of Puebla. This
road is unsurpassed in the grandeur OF
its achievements by any in the world.

From Maltrata, by windings around
barrancas and mountain spurs, to
Boca del Mounte, the ascent is two
hundred and twelve feet per mile for
thirteen continuous miles, this being
at the secondary base of eternal snow
on the peak of Orizaba, where blanket
coats are worn every day in the year.
Boca del Monte is the lowest point on
the main Sierra Madre mountain, in
that region, the range there being
locally called the Cumbres.
With such a record, made against
such odds, in the short space Of forty
years--a people stepped in ignorance
the main reliance of a few brave and
enlightened patriots in the beginning,
we often think that If our people
understood Mexican affairs better, they
would be more charitable. We, OF
course, refer to the great interior OF
Mexico-not to its rude border popula-
tion--a different people altogether from
the descendants of the Aztecs. -''f
OUR three principal streets, since be-
ing dug down, filled, ETC., are now bed.
of mud. We have been unable to sc,
the wisdom of cutting down streets OF
gentle unddiations, as, for instance
opposite the residence of w. w. Peak
on Elm street. The rise there was gen
tie and easy. Of drainage, aud ever
more so farther East. This digging
down process, leaving private ground
much higher than the streets, certainl
invites the water INTO THE thorough
fares, and the result is mud. W
are not engineers, but common sens
sees this defect ationce. AS they mo-
are, our chief streets In wet weath'
will be worse than nature made then
and so remain until graveled.

From the Selma Times.
The cotton caterpillar is reported in Vari-
Gus counties, and we say to planters make
ample provisions for corn enough TO do
them next year. Here are some extracts
from our laIe exchanges:
The Henry county Register. 3Oth OF May,
says: Ion Saturday last. Mr.. A. ID. Wood
brought to town three or four caterpillars
found on his cotton, six or eight miles south
of here. We learn that they are common
in the vicinity of LawrenceYille, in this

the caption of ''More Caterpilars," says:
"a gentleman entered our Office Yesterday.
with a small paper box, which contained
seven full grown cotton caterpillars one or
two in the web, and others in the calvx
and still others just turning to flies. 1t was

stages, but none the less disgusting and
nauseating III appearance. They were taken
from the cotton field of Mr.. A. L. Mcleod
sixteen miles northwest from the city, and
from the field those were taken that we
mentioned a few days since. The gentle
man who brought in the box of caterpillars
yesterday, says they have utterly ruined
Mr. McLeod's young cotton, and are now
rapidly spreading to adjoining plautations.'
They have already been reported through
our columns, within thirty miles of Selma,
west of us, and there is no doubt that they

who, as usual, sacrificed their time and en-
ergies in the most unselfish manner to again
prove their devotion to our cause. The As
ISOLATION, therefore, cannot sufficiently
thank those ladies for their services on this
as well as on every former occasion.
THE thanks of the Association are also
due to the ladies and gentlemen of the His
trlonic Association, for the hearty amuse-
ment they afforded during both evenings
contributing as well &c the enjoyment OF
the evening as to swelling the proceeds of
the Festival.
Capt. NJ. Shaughnessy is also entitled to
our thanks TOR pecuniary 1avors.
1T would scarcely be possible to enumer-
ate individually, all who contributed to the
success of the Festival. suffice it to say that
the result exceeded our most sanguine ex-
pectations, under adverse circumstances
At the same meeting a resolution of
thanks to Capt. c. B. Smith, of the Secretary
of States office, was unanimously adopted,
in recognition of his having presented to
the Association a beautiful copy of their
charter, suitable for framing.

An Outrageous Defiance of Law
and Justice.

HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS, June 2, 1873.
EDITORS CLARION: The Board of Com
missioners for Marshall county, created
under the amended registration law, have
appointed an entirely Radical Board of
Registrars, and after being numerousIy petit
toned by our citizens, they declined, posi-
lively, to give the Conservative party a
single representative. Our construction of
the registration law is, ''that the Board of
Registration shall not all be members of the
same political party We wish to know /:
Is there no recourse? Simple justice de-
mands that the Conservative party should
have at least one representative on the
Board.
The act under which this new Board of
Commissioners was appointed is one of the
most infamous measures passed by the last
Legislature, and was conceived principally
to effect Marshall county; and the Board of
Commissioners for this county, created by
said act, have proven to the satisfaction of
every honest man, to be as infamous as the
law under which they were appointed.

EDITORS CLARION: My attention has been
called to a communication of the Attorney
General, in which he states officially, that !
was a candidate for Commissioner of
Immigration before the Joint Con-
vention of the last Legislature. Not
being learned in the law, | will not pre-
sumo to deny the fact, but simply say that
did not know it, and will state what oc-
Cured in that connection. When the Con-
vention met and nominations were being
made, [ was nominated, but at my own re-
quest, nv name was Withdrawn before a
ballot was taken, and Senator Little, who
presided, so announced. My name does not
appear on the Senate Journal among those
put in nomination, but owing to the negli-
gence or neglect of the Minute Clerk, it was
LETT on the House journal. That received
the votes of "some of my associates" is I'M
| true, there being, among other scattering
votes, but one solitary vote cast for me-
"The suggestion will force itself upon all
who examine these proceedings of the Joint
Convention" that the official opinion of
the Attorney General is the only evidence
on record. that l was a candidate, but as
that opinion was promulgated in discharge
of his sworn duty as an officer. it must not
be called in question.
