A wonderful free in Mexico.

Cincinnati Enquirer
About two miles from the City
Of Mexico, at a little place called
LaOuba, is the old tree known in
history as Noche Triste, under the
branches of which, tradition has it,
Cortes gathered together his little
remnant of men on the sad night
he was attacked by the Aztecs and
driven from the city. It is at least
a remarkable old tree, and worth
the ride to see for itself. 1t is a
cypress, of a variety that grows to
an immense size in this part of
Mexico. 1t is more than a thous-
and years old, and about ten feet
through at its base, and is gnarled
and twisted in a wonderful way.
1t enlarges about, so at ten feet
from the earth it is fourteen feet in
diameter. At twenty feet it divides
into two immense trunks. Fire
was put to it a few years since, and
the inner portion and largest upper
trunk mostly burned away, The
lesser trunk and shell will, however,
live for ages. Three years ago the
Mexican Government put a hand
some stone and iron fence around
it, so that no vandal hand can now
touch it. Perhaps no object about
the city has for the reader of
Prescott a greater charm than the
old tree of Noche Triste.

The market opened dull but easier,
with offerings fair but a light demand.
Estimated sales for to-day, 300 bales;
sales yesterday we're 25O bales. The
weakness of the Liverpool and New

on the market here; hence, transactions

Vermont and the Centennial.

There is one thing about the centennial
exhibition that c havn't yet seen any al
fusion to, and that is the immense sum of
money that has been taken out of the state,
first and last, by visitors there. IL, as es-
timated, 2 1000 of the people of Burlington
have visited the centennial and If we place
the amount expended by each at $35 Ga
low average, we have total of money ex-
pended outside the city of 70,000-or
about as much as the estimated public ex-
penses of the city for the entire year, or
more than one-siXth of the whole city debt.
From the town of Essex one hundred peO-
pie have gone, and have expended 1000,
1t is said that from the entire state, 10000
people have gone and If it cost them $50
each the total outlay would be SO, 100, 900.
OF course these figures are by no means ac-
curate-probably not even approximately
so-but they give some idea of the vast ag-
gregate expended by centennial visitors

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1875.

The address Of the democratic national
committee, which we publish elsewhere,
this morning, is in marked contrast to that
of the republican national committee. The
former INDUCES in brag, bluster and pre-
dictions; the latter in argument and fact.
The one is addressed to that floating vote
which always endeavors to vote on the win
ming side without regard to principle; and
the effort is made to convince them that
Tilden is the coming man so that their
votes may be secured regardless of princi-
pie. The other is addressed TO the judg-
ment of thoughtful, intelligent men; and
the effort is made to convince their judg-
meut by the calm presentation of facts and
arguments and to win their votes for a
principle We invite our readers to a calm,
considcrate and dispassionate. comparison
of these two documents.
The Rutland weekly globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1876-11-10

We publish elsewhere, this morning, the
address of the republican national commit
tee relative to Governor Tilden's letter
pledging himself, if elected, to veto all
measures looking to the payment of south
ern war claims. The address shows that
the letter is insincere and evasive IN that,
by its terms, it covers only about one-ffth
of these claims in amount, and that as to
these his letter would not preclude their
approval, because of the claim set up by
eouthrons that there are now no "dlsloyal
" persons" in the south. 1t makes an ex-
cclent point against Governor Tildcn in
quoting from his letter of acceptance the
statement that pledges and promises from
candidates are worthless, and that the p7o-
pie can only be guarded from executive
corruplions and wrong doing hy .consttu-
tional and legal cnactmeDts, experience"
says the governor, ''having repeatedly ex-
posed the futility of self-imposed restric-
tions by candidates or incumbens

Colonel John S. Mosby strikes as hard
when writing political letter as he did
when, at the head of a cavalry regiment,
he scooped down on one of the federal out
posts; and every time he strikes, he strikes
home. In denouncing as lie, the story orr
ginaiing with tic "TilGen bureau" that he
had been appointed to office by General
Grant, he says that the few cx-coufederates
General Grant "has appointed to office in the
south were just as loyal to the government
" during the war asrilden was, and are much
"more so now. l am unable to account
" for the ferocitY with which have been
"pursued by the T'lden organs, unless it
be that they think that their candidate
has some claim upon me for my support
" in consideration of the messages of gym.
"pathy and cheer which l received from
him during the unhappy period when
" was fighting for the overthrow of the
Union. But for the advice of such men
" as Pilden at the north, the south would
"never have plunged into the disastrous
"war Of secession" Too true, but isn't
it little mean to twit on facts just before
election
