The late strike extended pretty well
over the Union, at least over the
Northern States, but very few people
were aware that it had spread from this
country to other chimes, into our sister
republic of Mexico, where it is still 60
ing on, having taken the form that all
popular movements take in Mexico-a
revolution.
When the news Of the strikes first
reached Mexico, tn sy were grossly ex-
aggerated and misstated; in fact, it
was believed In many portions Of the
country that Mr.. Tilden had inaugu-
rated them as sort Of a revolution,
and expected to ride into the Presi-
dency through them. The most preva-
lent idea, however, was that the COM
munists were at the bottom of the
movement, and the Mexican official
newspapers chuckled joyfully over the
prospect Of the Union going to pieces
in mighty internecine CONFUSION.
The Mexican communists and lower
orders felt greatly encouraged at the
news, and the two workingmen's papers
OF the City OF Mexico, El Con,ba and
Sociaksta, called on the Mexican COM
munists to follow the example of their
American brethren and take up arms
against the tyranny Of capital and
monopoly. These bold appeals had lit
tie effect on the workingmen of the
capital, but in the neigboring State Of
Hidalgo. the lower orders got very much
demoralized at the news. Quite num-
Der OF laborers rose en- masse, took
possession of several large estates
broke into stores and warehouses in the
towns and villages, and divided the con-
tents among themselves. The proprie-
tors, storekeepers, and other sufferers
from the mob, made appeals to the Fed
eral Government to protect them, but
the Federal Government was just
then too busy with the Lerdoists and the
Texas boundary question to pay any
attention to this little rebellion and left
1t to take its own course. This appear
ed, however, to produce no good effect.
The movement spread from Hidalgo to
the States Of Queretaro and Mckee. In
slueretaro the communists became so
strong that the Governor had to yield
TO their requests, and make certain
changes in officials, etc. This is the
present condition Of affairs in Mexico.
The communists are in peaceful posses
sion of many large estates and are dicta-
ting terms to the government, which is
too busy just now in protecting cattle
thieves on the Rio Grande to spare any
s4snops for Its home thieves, murderers
I'D com munists.

Gen. Grant is 80 we'll pleased with his
European tour, 1t Is said, that he will
spend another year across the waters.
The ex- Presidents reason for his
tour, as announced by himself. was a
desire to be out of the country while
Hayes was inaugurating his new regime
and policy, SO as not, In any way, to get
himself mixed up with 1t.
Notwithstanding the fact that Grant
pretends to favor all Hayes plans, it
has been noted that the opposition to
Hayes came wholly from Grants
bosom friends and supporters. It was
Packard and other out-and-out Grant
men that persuaded the Iowa Conven-
tion to vote against an Endorsement Of
Hayes; 1t was Conkling, his dearest
friend, that arrayed New York against
the President, and it was Robson, a
member of his Cabinet, that placed New
Jersey in line with these States.
These facts, coupled with the loud
praise Of Grant and Grantism INDUCED
in by Conkling and Platt at Rochester,
have persuaded many people and news
papers at the North that the ex. Presi-
dent Is ambitious Of third term, and
that he is staying In Europe until the
many awkward political questions and
complications Of the day are settled.
Then he will come home and pro.
nounce himself boldly in favor of those
ideas and policy that have triumphed.
A short absence from the United States
is almost always beneficial to presi-
Dental candidate; it enables him to
view the battlefield from q safe dis
lance, and he can, moreover, always
refuse to give his opinion on any tick
lish question. II Grant really Is am
bilious Of this honor Of another term,
he is playing his cards we'll, recruiting
his health while Conkitng, Robson and
Packard fight his battles.

Texas. but the Mexican government
does not seem to be responsible, except,
very likely, incidentally.

What the Opposition Say.
Gen. Jubal 4. Early Speaks.

Notwithstanding the enthusiastic reccp
ton given the President here, there is
strong nndercurrent of opposition to the
giving of any special honor to him for
what he has cone for the South, on the
ground that he did it from necessity, and
not from CHOICE and that he was now rs
ing it as a means to disrupt the Democrat
ic party, The opposition is led by Ger
eral Jubal Early, Captain Whitehead aud
Major Daniel, aud is backed by the rich
est and most influential people of the city
In fact, the opposition here is greater and
more outspoken than in any other place
that the President has visited during the
present trip. In an article that will be
published in the local paper to morrow,
General Early thus states his position:
So far from having my eyes opened to
the error of our cause by the result of the
war as seems to have been the case with
some other seccsSionists per Sc besides
Judge Key, under the Influence ofFcdrraD
patronage-these results, together with
the conduct of our adversaries both dur
ing and since the war, have had direct
ly contrary effect on me. and served to in
t nsify and solidify my fomer convictions,
l am now firmly convinced that the Gov
ernment Of the United States can never be
restored to condition of stable constitn-
tional soundness until it is administered
in the leading principle upon which orr
struggle was basel- that is, the recogni-
ton of the Union az a confederation of
co-equal sovereign States, eacl, Of which
is vested with the resolute right to rrgu
late its own domestic policy, subject only
to the restriction contained in the Con-
stitution strictly construed. am not
hopeful of such result under the most
favorable circumstances; but verify be-
lieve if the Establishments Of power and
reduction of Federal patronage, coupled
will, dclusive views of the Presidents
Southern policy, shall succeed in disinte-
grating the Conservative, the Democratic
party Of tho South, to an extent sufficient
to secure the continuance in power of the
Radical party, or ofany conglomeration of
it, then there will not only be no hope of
q restoration of Unconstitutional liberty, but
the days of the so-cal1ed Rep bic will be
numbt rcd. We are too proud to forget that
faithful are the wounds of a friend but the
kisses Of an enemy are deceitful.'"
