The next two international exhibitions or
worlds fairs will be held in Mexico and Aus
tralia, two countries not only remote from
each other, but which also have both been
regarded as outside the family Of manufac-
turing peoples, and whose commercial de-
velopmcnt IS far behind that OF the nations
that have 50 far held these gigantic fairs
Mexico. however, under the adminstra-
ton OF DIAz, is exhibiting new spirit and
eylncing a laudablc desire to stimulate her
trade and commerce and bring her rich
mineral and agricultural products 30 the
attention Of the world. While some military
officers and land spectators are seeking
TO stir up war between the two republics,
Mexico is inviting us 10 a peaceful inter-
course with her by the exchange Of products,
and endeavorlng 10 establish the friendly
relations which n commerce profitable To
both parties is likely 10 beget.
The Mexican Worlds Fair, it is officially
announced will open at the City of Mexico
on the 18th Of January, 1850, aud though late
news reports that the Congress is slow in
making the appropriation asked by the Min
lister Of the Interior for the exhibition, we
may rely on his eventually getting the
money Goods for the fair, which will last
for three months. will bc admitted free OF

tonal exhibitions Of Paris, Vienna, and

No inconsistency.

The law secures to Police Commissioners
the right to their Office unless removed for
cause; and the right to be heard before
removal.
Mayor COOPER undertook to remove the
Police Commissioners without any such
allegation of cause as, in our Judgment, the
law requires, and without affOrding them
any such opportunity to bc heard as In our
Judgment they are by law entitled to.
We severely condemned the conduct OF tho
Mayor.
subsequently, in discussing the subject of
street cleaning, we expressed the opinion
that the duty and the power to clean the
streets should be committed to n single
public officer, and not Go several, and that
the Mayor would be the proper officer.
In regard TO the fitness OF tho present In
cumbont Of that Office 60 do the duty, we re-
marked that his unqucstioned honesty was
in his favor, as well rs his reputation for
manufacturing good glue and ground bone.
Tho Evening Post pcrcoivcs n glazing in
consistency in The SUN, because after con-
dcmning Mayor CooPER's utter want OF iu-
dlcial character, we should have proposed
To test his executive ability-he being al
to him the cleaning Of tho streets. We can
see no Inconsistency whatever In our
course on the two subjccts--no more than
there is in The tdu, Whca Il says 10 tie tramp.
" You SHAH not commit highudy robbery, but
you mag shOrcl dirt IN he street.
The Ercning Post could not make n greater
mistake than to class THE Sun among the
champions Of filthy streets" We are so
strongly in favor of cleaning the streets
constantly and thoroughly that we propose
to go about 1t man-fashion, and to accom-
plish it by putting the requisite power and
the requisite means into the hands OF one
man, and then requiring him to do his duty,
instead Of trusting to any such baby meas
urc as the putting out a trained West
Pointer and putting in his place hack poll
tcan.
So far the experiment with Mr. EDWARD
COOPER in the Office OF Mayor has been
miserable failure. He has demonstrated
that he does not possess n judicial mind,
and is unqualified for the discharge Of ju-
dicial duties. But 1t is an axiom that blood
will tell, and DR.. PETER CooPER's son ought
TO be good for something. Let us open up
10 him the grand opportunity Of distin-
gushing himself as the first scavengcr, and
consequently the greatest public bcnefactor
Of his times, and see how he will acqult
himself.
Meanwhile, II the editorial department Of
the ErcniHg Post is susceptible Of improve

and logic.

seems TO bo ground for complaint that pro-
ccrdinrs OF such character should bc taken
before a court whose decision Is final that =
defendant should be denied at once the right
of trial by jury, and the right OF appeal.
Tho hardship entaied by such state Of
things is to be partly ullcviatcd 10y II bill in
troduccd by a member Of the Government
during che present session. II Is proposed
to grant the right Of appeal to the condi-
date found guilty OF bribery. But it is n
strange feature of this measure that the
privilege is conceded TO only ono person
among many who may have been CON
victed Thus agents and voters who may
be guilty of giving or receiving brides, and
who, under the present law are liable To dis
franchiscmcnt, will continue to he con-
domncd without appeal, although their
offence is no whit gravcr than that OF the
candidate responsible for the corruption. IL
is n curious illustration Of the arlstocrntic
bias Of English opinion, that an exception
should be made in favor Of those offenders
belonging to the class from which members
of Parliament are drawn. 1t is probable that
such discrimination would not be tolerated
under Liberal Government. and that the
privilege of appeal in election cases would
be forthwith extended TO all parties impli
Gated in unlawful transactions.
That the right OF adjudication in such
matters should have been abdicated by q
British House Of Commons demonstrates
conviction that the power of that assembly
has become absolute in the State. There
was a time when the review OF legislative
qualifications by the courts would have been
resisted with the utmost vehemencc, for the
Judges had too often shown themselves the
jealous instruments OF the Crown. But for
nearly half century the executive author
ity has been really vested in what may
fairly be described as a Committee Of tho
House Of Commons and there Is not Judge
upon tho bench whose appointment ante
dates the epoch when the function Of the
Crown in practical government shrank into
a legal fiction. In word, the Judges are
the nominees of the Legislature, which
risks nothing therefore by delegating TO
them portion OF its duties.
We need not say that very different
state OF things exists in our own country.
Here the popular branch OF the Legislature
has no control, except through the cumbrous
process of impeachment, over the Federal
judiciary, which is appointed by the EXecu-
tive with the consent Of the Senate. There
have been crises In our history when 1t
would have been suicidal for the dominant
party in the House of Representatives to
submit the qualifications Of its members TO
the United States District Courts. At the
present juncture, for example, what would
become Of the Democratic majority In Con
gress II the Federal Judges In the Gulf
States were empowered to unseat and 10
disfranchsc? Obviously this is one OF those
parliamentary precedonts that We cannot

PANAMA, March 24-Lima advices OF

How Bribery al Elections /, Dealt with
in England.

Should Legislature keopin it's own hands
the power Of unso0ting It's members for bril-
berry at elections, or can it safely commit
that office to the courts That question is
answered in one way here in the United
States, and otherwise in Great Britain; and
attention has boon drawn to the working Of
the English system by the debate upon a
bill lately introduced in Parliament 10 mod
lily its provisions.
Up to n late date the House Of Commons,
like our Federal Congress, exercised the
right Of adiudicatng on the qualifications
OF its members. The scandals to which this
state Of thing gave rise We're quito rs gross
in the one ease as in the other 1t was found
impossible to guarantee independence OF
partisan bias in a tribunal whose two -ec-
tons had sharply conflicting interests in
the decisions, and each inquiry into corrup-
ton gavo the signal for party fight. Some
improvement was effected by transfer to
committees Of the right Inherent in the whole
House, but the credit Of these tribunals
was gravely impaired by the suspicion
attaching TO their composition. Finally in
1865, the House Of Commons abdicatcd its
ancient privilege and turned over the husi-
ness of adjudicating on election petitions TO
Judge, made the sole authority for deter
mining not only II candidates present quail
fcations, but his future eligibility,
Some Of the provisions Of this law, which
has now boen in operation for ten years,
seem extremely rigorous, and they have
provoked vehement rclnonstrance. For in
stance, the proof Of bribery ana corruption
not only entails tho penalty Of elcctmcpt
from seat, Lut disqualiiic7 candidate for
seven years to como. 1t Is clear, Therefore,
that the trial Of an election petition par
takes rather 81 tho nature of a criminal
Prosecution than o. civil action. There
