moved 77l.OOO. Last year Delaware and
Hudson moved 1.712,0OO tons, and this year
only 81 900. This seems natural enough;
less business, and prices lower by about 20
per cent. But last year Ncw-Jcrscy Central
moved only So, 600 tons to date, and this
year l,l45,OOO tons. Notwithstanding an in

has fallen over 40 per cent. Why did the
strong companies of the corporation consent Ia

see their stock slaughtered at decline OF 20

THE PROSPECT N MEXICO.

The Mexican journals OF july IL give IurthcT
particulars of the reelection OF President Lcido
de Tciada. the news of which reached us by
telegraph a few days since. Returns had been
received at the capital from the largest as well
~ some of the most distant States Indicating
a vote which is practically unanimous. Lcrdo
dc Tejada. whose present term expires III
February next, is now the legal and rightiu
President of Mexico until February, 1888.
This result was to have been anticipated, but
il has been made more emphatic by the very
means taken to defeat it. The opposition Gle
mcnt. headed by Gen. Porfrio Dlaz, instead OF
employing all its energies in legal ways,
through the nomination and advocacy of It's
own candidate. simply undertook to prevent
any election. The success Of such move
ment would have gone far to render n stable
government impossible i'll Mexico. 1t l. there
fore most encouraging circumstance that the
people, thoroughly appreciating the Importance
% the crisis rcfraincd from nominating any
opposing candidates and voted for the mann
tcuance OF Law and order III voting for Lerdo
de Tcjada
Since the result of the election has been
made known, the revolution is rapidly cIum-
bling TO pieces. In the Northern, rs III the
Southern States, the most notorious OF the
subordinate chiefs of Diaz have been defeated
by the Government troops, and their followers
have taken refuge in the mountains. There
some of them may subsi-t for little while
longer, using their lost political significance
as 4 mask for outrage and robbery; but there
il no probability that they will be able To
unite AGAIN in a new revolution toI the defeat
of the expressed will of the Mexican People.
Gen. DIaz, whose escape from Iampico and
landing at Vera Cruz, as related in Hdhde"S
(Mcxican) Rericr was published II yeSter-
DAVIS TRIBUNE, has reached his iomc in
Oaxaca. and already issued an explanatory
manifesto. The fact that hc has abandoned
his followers in Tamaulipas and Ncw-Lcon Is
a confession Of his failure. Whatever stu re-
mains of the insurrcctionary element III Oa1aca
will undoubtedly soon be suppressed, and We
trust that The second term OF President Lcrdo
will witness no renewal OF such crime against
the republican system of government.
President Lcrdo's reelection means "A con-
