1t is announced that the Secretary
of State will soon promulgate the
terms with which any future govern
ment in Mexico must comply in order
to obtain the recognition Of the Unit
ed States. These views will be adopt
ell by the Administration, and Cen
Diaz will be told that he can comply
with the terms. 1t is expected that
he will comply with these terms, or
at least promise to do so, and that his
representative will then be received
by President Hayes. The important
thing to be determined, then, is what
the conditions of the Administration
are to be. There IS high authority
for the statement that they will be
very strong conditions, and will en-
brace not only the projections ~ the
border on the Rio Grande, but the
protection of American interests IN
Mexico, and the opening of Mexican
markets to American productions. 1t
will be some time, perhaps several
months before the negotiations are
COMPLETED.

A letter has been received at Prov
incetown from Captain Taylor, of the
whaling schooner Rising Sun, bearing
a report Of another insult to the
American flag. On the Goth of May
he was cruising off the South Keys of
Cuba on the lookout for whales. -
About 9 A. NJ. a school was sighted
to leeward' Captain Taylor and his
chief mate, Mr.. Atkin, killed two
small whales, and were persung 9th,
ers when the boom Of a gun was heard
and a shot ricochetted over the
waves and plunged into the sea ere it
reached them. Soon two more re:
ports and two Kissing balls followed
each other in rapid succession. Cap
tain Taylor perceiving that something
must be done, started for his vessel
but was intercepted by the enemy,
who proved to be a Spaniard. His
own person WAS demanded as a hos.
tage until a Spanish gunboat should
make her appearance and examine
her papers. He refused and they de-
mandcd his chief mate end were in
exorable. In vain he protested, re.
minding them of the loss to his vessel
and claiming the validity of his pa.
pers. Mr.. Atkins WAS taken and
placed on board, the captain being
left alone to secure the whales as best
he could, difficult task in heavy
sea. For five days the mate was de-
tanned until a Spanish gunboat ar
rived and declared the papers correct.
This detention at this particular time
in the midst of school Of wales was
serious loss to the vessel, and il but
sequel to the outrage perpetrated
ON the Ellen Rizpah and her captain.

Harvest Reports.

New wheat has been arriving in
market the last week, but there is a
decline Of twenty-five to fifty cents in
prices. Reports from different Guar
ters show that the crops are abundant
and good. The growing corn also
presents very promising appear
ance. The continuance of the Russian
war will ensure good prices for all our
grain the coming year. The ravages
of the potato bug have been sufficient
" checked to make an abundant yield
pretty certain in all sections. The ap-
pie crop this year will show heavy
falling off from last year.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TITLE.

A good deal of excitement has
been caused by the reported lndlct-
ment of the election returning board
of Louisiana for their alleged fraudu-
lent return Of the Presidential vote.
The effect upon the President has also
been widely discussed and reports
have gone out from Washington that
Gen. Hayes is in such state of mem
tai anxiety and fear as to the result
that he is scarcely able to attend to
business. We only allude to it as a
matter of news, not as a party qaes-
ton, but there is no satisfactory evil
dence that the President is at all dis
turbed by it. Let the result be what
it may it cannot inyalidate his title
to the Presidential office. He holds
his office through the vote Of the cleo
toral college and the electoral COM
mission, confirmed by an act Of Con-
gress and affirmed by the Supreme
Court. He has been formally inaug-
urated and acknowledged by every
department of the government and
the people. 1t is settled question
and If it could be unsettled by the
action of a grand jury in such state
as Louisiana the result would be seri-
ously deprecated by good citizens as
likely to bring us again to the bord-
ers Of anarchy. TIE question Of
greatest importance to the people OF
the United States is the change OF
our mode Of electing President so as
to avoid hereafter the dangerous diff
Guilty which occurred in the last cleo
ton.
