Reasons for the Recognition Of the
DlaS Mexican 0ovaRnnaank.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Th0 De-
partment Of State has not received on
Oial intelligence Of the recognition Of
the Dlaz Government, by Ne. Fostar.
There ls no doubt, hoSeVsF, Of that
fact 90 instructions 10 that gentleman
on returning to Mexico, authorized him
to do 90 should be And proper oondl.
ton Of affairs 10 warrant such action,
and besides full oredenee ls given %
the telegram to Mr. zamAe0na, the
Mexican representative, received last
night, informing him Of the Occurrences.
The reasons for recognising the Dlas
Government are that It has shown q
disposition to arrange ell matlers In
dispute between the two GOvernments,
and given evidence Of lie earneasness
In that direction, having, among other
things, sent Federal troops 10 the irnn-
tier TO preserve peace, thus supplement-
Ing the inefficient militia consequently
no raids have occurred on the Grande for
the last three months, certainly none Of
q serious character. Besides, the Mexi-
can Government has promptly paid as
they became due two installments Of
Mexican indemnify, amounting TO six
hundred thousand dollars, and recently
the Mexican Government checked an
attempt at MatamOras TO levy forced
loans on American citizens. There
has been no other such attempts for
some months, aud every pracaution
will be taken to prevent them in the
future. Further, the Mexican Govern.
ment expresses readiness to enter upon
negotiations for the adjustment OF all
questions In despule, and has been on
its good behavior for at least one year.

By vote of 40 TO l6, the Senate has
passed the Thurman bill relating TO the
Indebtedness of the Pacific Railroads.
This is Q triumph of principle over
trickeFy, OF the public over the jobbers
who proposed to defy the demand that
they should make provision for the re.
payment Of their debt to the Govern
ment. The Senate has shown an
amount OF dilatoTiness over this meas
ure, which was calculated to excite the
gravesl susplcions, but its fnal pass
age by two votes to every one opposed
to 1t 10 highly encouraging to those
who are still disposed TO regard the
Senate as capable Of stateemanlike and
bsneflcent legislation. The extent Of
the triumph must be measured by the
force Of the influences brought to bear
against the Thurman bill. A lobby
acting under the guidance OF Jay
Gould was not likely to be deficient
either in pertinacily or resources, and
when Gould went the length OF COM
pelling his newspaper 10 come openly
to his aid In opposition TO the bill, II ls

nor promises TO accomplish its defeat.
