The New York Herald publishes letter
from Panama containing accounts of. the
revolutionary condition of the Mexican
States of Lower Californis, Sinaloa, Colima
and Acapulco. Sinalos was comparatively
quiet, the State main ntaining about 5000
tolerably efficient troops. A portion Of these
had been sent to Lower California to crush
an insurrection at La Paz. caused BY the
atrocities Of the commandant Devalloe.
Immediately on its suppression he. shot
forty or fifty prieoners without any trial,
and subsequently caused the death Of many
of their wives and children. The govern
men, at Mexico summoned him to the
capital. and hopes we're entertained he
would be punished as lie deserved.
The entire country of Colima was in
state Of revolution and infested by bands
Of robbers, 200 of them laying an effectusl
embargo ON Manzanillo, the inhabitants
being in danger OF starvation and threat.

government is too weak to afford any effsc.

Yesterday Messrs. A. }. Sypher, John }.
Harmon and E. T. Kursheedt presented
themselves before Commissioner Craig to
answer to the twelve afidavis made BY the
laborers lately employed in the Custom
house. The charges were the Same that tho
same parties made before Special. Agent
Kinsella, who has not yet concluded his in
vestigation. Colonel j. F. Morse and Mr..
}. G. Blenvenu were not present, having
been ont of town for some time. Those
who appeared waived examination, and
bail was fixed at $3.50, this bond including
all the cases, and this postpones the matter
till November.
ALI defendants regard the matter ~ an
attempt to blackmail, the complaint being
lack of work. This view 10 confirmed by
the TACT that many of them have desired to
be re reemplqyed, and several have written
lettere to Captain Sypher, expressing the
wish and promising . withdrawal of the
charge.

The delegates from the different boat
clubs of this city assembled last night 1t q
meeting called over Hitchcock e. Moran'a
saloon, for the ostensible purpose Of recon
sidering the vote of the last meeting regard
ing the time and place Of the coming re-
gat'a. All the clubs were fully represented,
each having three delegates present. The
meeting was called to order By w. h. Msu-
ming, Esq, who presided. Since the last
meeting Of delegates the organisation. of
two new boat clubs has been perfected-the
Perseverance Club, which 10 to practice on
the New Basin, and the Aspinwal), q river
club. After some discussion the delegates
from both Of these clubs were admitted to
the privileges of the meeting and allowed
voice. The question in dispute Vas
whether to have :. the regatta at
the lake or on the river. Upon
a vote of the delegates it was decided that
the regatta should be at the old lake mil
nebura). and take place on the twenty
seventh day of September. The delegates
in this were probably Influenced somewhat
by the offers Of the Pontchartrain. railroad
and lake end restaurants to make up q
purse Of $500, provided the regatta should
come of at the place now decided upon.
Many Of the members of the different clubs
have expressed themselves as greatly pre-
terring the river and with good argument.
First, the lake can not besaepended on for
smooth water as late 40 the latter part of
September. when lively breezes may be ex.
pected; and then there are the complaints
of the public against lack Of transporta-
tion-made so .spparept At the late races
BY overcrowded cars and few Of them
which complainings sre considered by
thoughtful oarsmen. a race on the
river at CarrplltOn would he, open to the
same objection. 1t seems possible for 4 re-
gatts to take place here without in any
way being influenced by transportation
agents. aud straight three mile course on
the river in 'front.' of the city would nll the
bill. Rich and poor. could then zee the race
with little inoonvenie9ce and no expense.
AregattA here on our river would be for
the pleasure Of our peo pie, and it could not
be said to be for the benefit Of any railroad
or suburban restaurants. as has
been charged. Besides, turn about is fair
play: The selling regatras are necessarily
IN the lake where. there is sea room and
breeze; for oarsmen and for the public the
liver seems most suitable for the coming |
ace. Some of the clubs favor the latter |
'lace so much that it is likely they will de- |
line to row on the lake.

"Loves Sacrifice" was written by George

the following year it was produced in New

but too heavy for popular taste. 1t is
play seldom well acted by the best stock
