WASHINGTON, November 15.-There has
been slight ull here to-day in the excite
ment over the Virgnius massacre owing to
the absence from Washington Of the Presi'
dent and the Secretaries of War and Navy.
1t seems to be settled that the Administration
reached its final conclusion in the business
at the Cabinet session of yesterday. 1t is
still impossible to learn what the determine
ton was, but the impression in many places is
that if the proceedings Of that meeting were
made known it would be giving information
to the enemy. The decision will Of course
be diyulgcd sooner or later, but probably not
until communicated to Congress by the Pres
ident in his annual message. TIMOy.

A writer in Nature calls attention to
one possible source OF skin diseases,
which he refers to the manufacture OF
what are called prime old brown
Windsor soaps" and states that this lie
obtained from old and putrid bones,
which are crushed and ground to pow
der, and exposed to the action of boil
ing water under pressure until the
grease and marrow are extracted. These
substances are subjected to various pro.
cesses, resulting in the preparation ot
bone glue, isipglsss, ETC., while the
grease itself, which at first is OF dark,
brown color with an abomipable
odor, is purified and deodorized, and
the more valuable portion con-
verted into a hard brown soap, the o.
fensive smell Of which is disguised by
a strong perfume. The brown collar oi
the grease gives it its acceptable tint
without coloring by caramel, the orig
inal mode OF manufacture. The pro-
cess causes the production Of large
number OF minute spicul9 OF bone
which cannot be entirely removed, aud
which tend to penetrate the skin OF
abrade its surface. The writer attrib-
utes TO this cause many forms OF eczema

NEW ORLEANS.
Mexican Affairs.

New ORLEANS, June l9.-Geueral
Matthew Palmer who is associated,
with General Rosecraus in the Mexican
railroad project, passed through this
city yesterday enroute for New York.
He came direct from the City OF Mex.
co on horseback. He reports all quiet
on the route and no robheries took place.
The people are evidently tired OF reVo'
luton and that they are Lot likely to-
make any trouble. McKenzie's raid
failed to excite any interest
among the people in the neighborhood.
In fact it was scarcely mentioned ex-
cept by foreigners. He reports the
Corsado war at Juliasco at an end. with
Solado fugitive and contradicts the
reports already received via Vera Cruz,
az to his arrest and execution.
The Mexican Congress, previous to
adjournment on May 3lst, passed the
Roeecrans Railrosd project to its sec-
ond reading, bu. did not complete the
debate previous to the time fixed by law
for adjournment. All the preliminaries
motions we're decided in favor of the
COMPANY by over a two.thirds vote, the
opposition confining its attacks chiefly
to the question OF dangers from Ameri-
can influence. One deputy declared
that Americans were fillibusters aud
that he preferred Mexico should remain
Door than be enriched by subjection to
q neighboriug power. General Palmer
considers the prospect OF passing the
railroad bill, at the coming session, as
good. The distance by railroad from
IeIico to Monterey il nine hundred
miles, the time to run it being twelve
DAYS, including one days stoppage at
Cedral; the cars do not run at night.
Touching the conformity and character
o, the country passed over by General
Palmer, he says the plattsn Of Mexico
makes its remarkable uniformity
of land a. far as the feld OF Buens
Vista, 600 miles north Of the Capita,
where the elevation above the sea Is
$500 feet. After that. it drops ofgens-
iy to saltillo, spd from there deseends
800 ieet quite to Monterey. Prom
Monterey to the Rio Grsnde is gently
descending plain. The country was very
dry. .v.-

selves of the oiium which attaches to
it. Even those who seek to form new
ordinations for personal power and
profit find it uphillwork, and fail to make
their intrigues fruitful. The wrongs
which now front us, and wait with des
peration or trembling to be righted, are
connected with the great railroad cor.
poratiops and their combinations and
monopolies. The people by whose con-
sent, and for whose benefit, these rail-
roads were built-railroads to which
have been devoted enormous areas
OF public land and stupenduous prerog-
atives and privileges-are determined
to have something to say about their
management, and determined that their
power shall be curtailed. The corpor-
ations which have built them and are
administering their affairs are mauipu-
lating or controlling legislatures, and
superhuously enriching all connected
with them, while the farmer cannot get
a paying return for his wheat at his
his door, and the consumer buys his
bread at an exorbitant price. The fight
Of the people with these monstrous
powers is begun, and is to be the great
fight of the next twenty years. The
issue is not doubtful, though
it may be long delayed. Little Yer
mont finds TO her surprise that she has
been imposed upon. and hastens to do
her people justice; aud it is safe to pre-
dict that in five years the railway kings,
and the overbearing monopolies, and
the corporations which run railroads
for the benefit OF their managers, will
be go thoroughly investigated" that
they will find it for their interests TO
conduct their operations with a degree
OF deferential reference to the interests
Of the people whom they have cheated
and oppressed.
1t seems to us there is at this time a
very healthy public sentiment. No
public inquiry lives without protest.
No wrong-doer sits easy and uncon-
cerned in his place. The old apathy
under wrong and misrule is passed
away. The good elements in society
and politics are Of hope and courage;
and we believe it to be susceptible OF
proof that no European country is less
dominated by corrupt men than oura,
or more willing and efficient in the de-
molition OF all forms OF wrong. If
there is an apparent difference against
us, it is simply because we advertise
our sins more widely than our sister
nations, in order that the people may
take intelligent action against them -
