THE CLARION.
WILLIAM u II Il ID,
EpIrDp AID PROPRIETOR,
MECIIANlCSTOWN%"JULl II, 1877:

rear Tho Republic Of Mexico at the
present Iuncturo is in state OF vol
canic eruption. The present Presi
dent, Don LEEDo DE- TEJADA, Of Quad
alaara, state OF Jalisco, is q very
able and astute Statesman, the
ablcst perhaps that could be fonnd IN
that distracted land. But he, with
all his we'll known ability, cannot
unite or control the various factions
which make that region a scene OF
perpetual broils. The "outs' are
always growing and discontented
with the 'ins, and hence we see and
hear of Pronunciamontos being issued
in various portions Of the country.
The patriots and heroes won't keep
quiet. IGSACIo PESQrEIEAin the state
of Sonora is dissatisfied; the Governor
Of San Luis Potosi thinks he ought to
rule; and dozen Of Military Heroes
from Morales down to Cortinas, the
Bandit of the Rio Gran1c, are restNc
and uneasy; while His Serene High
ness, General Antonio Lopez de Santa
Ana is still watching the chances, and
life Macawhcr, is hopeful that some
thing may turn up, whereby he
will be again called TO rule over the
valley of Anahuac and the classic
land of Montezuma.

THE Iron Interests of Great Britain.
The SUPPLY on ORE NEARLY EXHAUSTED

THE SUPPLY on ORE NEARLY EXHAUSTED
II ia quite Obvious from the mnttcrlng@
of tho British journals, and the slrcwd
observations Of her great manufacturers
and merchants, az well as that Of her far
seeing Statesmen, that British power ana
influence is on the decline. One element
of her wealth, and shat too one Of the
greatest, is rapidly diminishing. Her roa'
nnd iron ore is hing exhausted. Mr.. Henry
Wattcrson, editor of the Louisville Co"rleI
JournM who is now in Europe writing
letters to his paper, sends home this prcg-
nant paragraphs
\ 4 X "England, with her
insolcncc, her glory and her grandeur, is
destined to come to this Thc finger Of

IF cool, rhjch are rM nigh empty II points

byone II will ere long point directly into
Lombard street, through which her life
currents flow. There is a Greater Britain
yondcr across the seas which has done it
all, and the dormant hatred felt for Amer
lea in the hidden heart OF England is not
without its cause
Thus while the iron orc and coal supply
of England is rapidly on the decline, that
of the United States is yet in its infancy
This point ccttlcs the fact that the Iron
Manufacturers of this country hold the
winning cards in their own hands, and
if they don't play them deXtrousIy and TO
good advantage, it will be their own fault.

Mr.. John w. Garrett, president OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad with
Mrs. Garrett and daughter, will sail
for Europe on Saturday afternoon
