REGARDING the attitude of parties
in Massachusetts, toward Butler in
his aspirations to be Governor, the
Springfield Republican, which is
not friendly to the administration
or the Republican party, says:
There are two facts which Col.
Green and Democrats of his stamp
cannot ponder too thoughtfully. The
man who does the serious running
against Butler, this year, will be a
man who voted for Ulysses S. Grant,
last fall. That is fact number one.
The bulk Of the old Democratic
vote in this State is going to Benja-
min F. Butler in this canvass, if he
gives it a chance. That is fact num-
Der two.

England Threatening Mexico.

Our latest news from the city Of Mexico
represents the English Cabinet as threatening
our sister Republic with invasion. Spoliations
by Mexican citizens upon British subjects in
Honduras are stated as the basis of claim
upon the government of President Lerdo for
damages, and neglect to make prompt pay
ment and satisfaction therefor is alluded to
in the note of the British Minister as liable to
provoke the occupation of Mexican territory
by hostile English troops. To this most OBJ
iectionable document Mexico has answered by
civilly affirming her disposition to execute
faithfully her treaty stipulations and to pre-
vent recurrence of Expectations, but firmly re-
fusing to entertain any proposition for submit
ting to any penalty for the acts of lawless men
who may have trespassed beyond the bounds
of the Republic. Probably the recent minis
terial crisis in England may change the style
of this correspondence. AT any rate, England
would do we'll to consider that an armed in
vasion by her of the soil of any nation upon
this Continent would not promote pleasant
relations where she would doubtless wish to
secure and preserve them. 1t would be
sternly resented. Moreover, she would do
well to remember that, some ten years
ago, an imperial European Power tried
the experiment of controlling Mexico under
the persuasions of military force. 1t proved .

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1873-03-15

BY special cable telegram and the latest
news reports from London we have detailed
account of the progress of the British Cabinet
crisis, and of the efforts which were being
made for the formation of o new Ministry to
the hour Of midnight yesterday. Mr. Disraeli,
when at audience with the Queen.
pointed out to Her Majesty the diff
Guilty which he would have to confront
after assuming the Premiership in the face of
hostile majority in Parliament. He begged
the Queen to permit him time for considera-
ton. The great Commoner did not, therefore,
accept Office, nor did he decline the honor.
His tactic of delay was used evidently to
enable him to meet the Earl of Derby, who
was then on his way to England from Paris.
This result has been accomplished. Lord
Derby reached London yesterday and i'm
mediately sought an interview with Disraeli.
The consultation was an anxious one. The
result is, so far as can be judged from
mass of conflicting statements and club
rumors, that Earl Derby will undertake the
work of Cabinet making, and that he will
constitute a Ministry, with himself as Pre-
mier, Disraeli Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and with Lord Salisbury, Claiborne Hardy,
Sir Stafford Northcote and other well-known
conservatives in prominent places. Gladstones
return to power is a favorite idea. Earl
Granville is spoken of as likely to form
mediatory, or scratch" Ministry,
and with it to endeavor to tide over
he Easter recess or longer, A dissolution of
Parliament is contemplated by all parties The
conservatives like it. It is said that they ore
sanguine of a successful result for their cause.
Gladstone may attempt to work on for short
time longer with the present House of Com
mons-in which he has positive majority
despite his late defeat-and could scarcely be
made worse by an election. If Lord Derby
consolidates government a general election
would be likely to benefit his party
in the Commons, for there is no doubt
but that very many of his political friends are
just now in an exceedingly hungry condition
in consequence of their involuntary and
heightened Lenten fast on the opposition
benches A dissolution of the English Parlia-
ment, and general election in consequence,
are exceedingly probable events, likely to
occur during the present Summer. The con-
test will be an exciting one, but it must inure
to the constitutional advance of the cause Of
the people in Great Britain. The contending
party men must give solid assurances Of ma
terlal popular gains to the nation.

its chief actors. If the Mexican Republic,
which is just emerging, under the popular adj
ministration of the new President, from the
state of disorder which has long afflicted her,
is justly responsible for injury inflicted upon
Honduras, there need be no fear that when the
matter is properly approached by the repre-
sentative of Queen Victoria she will make all
reasonable amends; but the diplomacy which
is emphasized by illusions to iron-clads and
thirty-fve ton guns naturally enough is dis
tasteful to our hot-blooded neighbors We
cannot blame them for meeting it with anger
and answering it in defiance. Such threat
from the Mistress of the Ocean, whose drum
beat circles the globe, to young nation strug-
Cling nObly to free herself from domestic tur-
MOL and internal dissension is unworthy of
the British name. We hope soon to see it ex-
plicity disclaimed by Lord Granville or who
ever may succeed him in the Foreign Office.

Spain-The Republic and tho

spain-The Republic and tho Carlists.
Our news from Spain day after day is not
helping US to a strong faith in the contin-
uance of the Republic. The success of the
Carlists on the Heights of Mourial is bad
omen. It is quite evident that the fight was
severe. 1t is hardly conceivable that the gov
eminent troops were outnumbered but it is
not to be denied that the Carlists drove their
enemies from the ground and justly claimed
the victory. The army, it is plain, is without
heart. We do not wonder that it should be
so. They know not for whom to fight. The
republican leaders have been wanting in
energy. Without the army they can do moth
ing but in place Of putting forth their whole
strength to secure the army they have actually
shown signs of distrust. The decree issued
by the government enrolling republican vol
unteers was, to all intents and purposes,
vote of "no confidence in the army. Ser
rano still stands quietly in the background.
We hear but little of Montpensier and AL
fonso. We have nothing contradictory of
the report that Montpensier had come to
an agreement with Alfonso, according to
which all the strength possessed by the
former was to be given to the latter. Anarchy
now reigns in more than one of the Provinces
the republicans are not agreed among them
selves, and there is reasonable presumption
that time will make the situation more and
moro chaotic. It is impossible that the Car
lists can finally win. Their whole strength
lies in the north. The victory of Mourial
was won only twenty miles distant from the
French frontier. The Alfonsists are evil

espouses the cause of Alfonso the army may
pronounce at oSce in favor of Isabellas sor.
If Spain is not yet fully ripe for Republic
the next best thing is constitutional
monarchy, and Altonso's is the only available

in fit of depravity and drunkenness slew the
wife of his bosom and the mother and support
of his children.
The crime of John M. Osborne who was ex-
ecuted at Knoxville, ILL.,, yesterday, was even
worse. Prior to his execution he confessed to
having murdered Mrs. Matthews, an unoffend-
ing, peaceable woman, under an alleged con-
tract with some wretch who was determined
to put her out of the way rather than she
should appear in Court as witness in a case
in which he was interested; but it is known
that he added the abominable crime of outrage
to that of murder.

Two Executions In Illinois Yesterday.
Illinois has been awakened recently to the
necessity Of melting out the extreme penalty to
those whose hands have been imbrued in the
blood of their fellow beings, and an illogical
public sentiment has been superseded by
return to that stern justice which alone can
insure safety to life 80 long as cutthroats
such as are to be found in our sister city of
Chicago are permitted to roam at large. George
Driver, special account of whose crime
and execution is published in the HERALD
to-day, was unfortunately murderer of a
type that is becoming too common among us.
After fifteen years of i'll treatment and abuse
his wife sought and obtained divorce, the
Courts not only granting her petition for o
final separation but according her the custody
of her four children and the retention of the
house in which she had lived with
her depraved husband. The unhappy wife,
yielding probably to the oft-repeated requests
of the husband from whom the law had sepa-
rated her, permitted him to return to her house
as boarder. This was the occasion for
repetition of former scenes he was a greater
drunkard and more depraved than before,
constantly demanded the little money the
woman was able to collect from time to time,
and finally, on the 3Oth of November last, shot
her dead beneath the very roof under
which he had enjoyed her hospitality. Like
most men under the control of the oxecutioner
he admonishsd his children to shun the evils
about to die held up the moose made ready
for his neck and assured the assembled crowd
that bad whiskey had been the enemy to put
his neck into it. While all this may prove
q wholesome lesson to his family and many
others probably few will regret the horrible
iugs bestowed upon him BY VIZ Cgeatog. eud

GOVERNOR KELLOGG, of Louisiana (or rather
the Governor in possession of the seals and
keys of Office, with Uncle Sans bayonets to
back him), has issued a proclamation 10 the
taxpayers, warning them to ''walk up to the
Captains Office and SETTLE" or take the con-
sequences. Perhaps the citizens may resolve
to pay their taxes to avoid further difficulty,
but accompany the same with protest against
the Kellogg usurpation, which may be of SER
vice as basis of action when turn in the
political wheel throws the now oppressed class
uppermost.

Ocean Te:exraph Gables.

Some days since we advised the employ
ment of our naval vessels to make deep sea
soundings. We are pleased to see by our cor
respondents letter from Washington that the
Juniata is now preparing for this most impor-
tant service.
We again call upon Secretary Robson to
give orders by which this duty shall be most
thoroughly and completely executed He
should order every modern appliance to be
provided for this vessel and the peculiar SER
vice she goes upon; also that the lines of
sounding be carried across the Atlantic, say
from some one of our principal ports, for in
stance, from New York to Bermuda; thence to
the Azores or Madeira; thence to Lisbon, Por-
tugal and upon her return let the Juniata run
direct line of soundings from Lisbon to New
York CITY, thus mapping out direct and indi-
rect route, SO that choice may be made of the
most desirable one for the cable.
Secretary Robson has shown his apprecia-
ton of the importance of our cable to be laid,
and we call upon him to order this sounding
to be done by at least two routes, one going
and one returning
