Archaeological Researches in Mex

One of the most energetic Of French explor-
ers, DR.. Charnay, has recently returned to Par
is after journey through Mexico. The re-
suits of DR.. Charnay's voyage are of the great
est interest to every one in any wise acquaint-
ed with that very curious subject, Mexican
archaeology, and it appears that his explora-
tions have gone some way towards removing
the ideas previously held as to the extreme
antiquity of these Mexican monuments which
have always been looked upon as remnants of
a very ancient and quite mysterious civiliza-
ton. DR.. Charnay has formed from his re-
searches the opinion that these monuments be-
long to the Zoltecs, the most remarkable Of
those tribes of the Mailman race who invaded
the high tablelands of Mexico from the sixth to
the fourteenth century, and his theory is borne
out by various indications discovered in the pal
aces and temples of Yucatan. He erepresents the
Zoltecs as a people of scientists, philosophers,
artists, and more especially architects; he has
retraced their successive migrations to Tula,
TeStihuacan. Cholnia, Tehuantepec, Guatema-
la, Tabasco and Yucatan, and he considers
that the heyday of their civilization cannot
date further back than seven hundred years.
The details of DIR. Charnay's Mexican explora-
tion are shortly to be laid before the French
Academy of Sciences, while such is the value
of his discoveries that he will be sent to Msxi-
90 on second mission, and will pursue his
archaeological researches throughout the whole
of Central America.

THE Springfield Union thinks that in Or
der that there may be no break in the line
of ofsuccession to the Presidency of the United
States as provided for in the constitution
it would be well for each Congress to COM
plete it's organization at the beginning of its
existence. The members of the 47th Con-
gress began drawing their pay on the fourth
of March last, but the House of Representa-
tives is not to meet for organization until
December. 1t would in many respects ex-
pedte the disposal of public business at
the beginning of the winter session to have
the organization completed beforehand, and
besides there would then be no break in the
constitutional line of succession to the Pres
idency, the President pro tenn of the Senate
coming next to the Vice President and the
speaker Of the House of Representatives
next to him.

The Irish Land Bill.

The precise fate of the Irish land bill
in the House of Lords it is impossible to
predict with any degree of certainty. That
it will pass there is little doubt, but whether
1t will be left substantially as it came from
the Commons or be SO modified as to be un-
acceptable to the ministry is very uncertain.
Undoubtedly the great majority of the
peers are bitterly opposed to the principles
of the bill and would promptly strangle 1t
if they dared. Even large number of the
Liberal peers do not hesitate to express op-
position to it. The Duke of Argyll, one of
the strongest of the Liberal peers, in a
a speech on Tuesday night attacked the gov
ernment comparing it to jelly fish, and
said that there was a feeling of bitterness
and humiliation in being obliged to accept a
bill to which there were SO many strong and
fundamental objections. The Duke un-
doubtedly voiced the feelings of the Lords
both in respect to their opinion of the pro-
visions of the bill and the necessity of pass
ing it.
Lord Salisbury who leads the Conserva-
1iVOo Will dttculpt W iuOully Lue plii uy H.
sisting that it shall contain an exact defni-
ton of what is a fair rent and that its pro-
visions shall not affect estates whose rental
is over $500 year, nor estates managed on
the English system; and that it shall pro-
vide for the inviolability Of leases. 1t is
rather imp robable, however, that the Lords
will adopt these notifications much as they
may desire to.
The fact is the peers dread to incur the
responsibility which must rest upon them If
thebill is defea ted or seriously modified. In
its present condition it is generally accepta-
BILE to the Irish people and bids fair to re-
store order in the Emerald Isle. Its defeat
means contin uance of the present troubles
and perhaps open rebellion. The English
peer, while he clings to ancient privileges
with tenacity, is sensible enough to yield
something rather than incur the danger of
losing everything. In this spirit he will
probably vote for the passage Of the land bill
though.many of its provisions are hateful to
him.

The Jfannei1e srarch.

SAN FRANcIsco, April 20th.-The naval
officers composing the Jeanette Relief Board
have com pleted their work and submitted
their report to the Secretary of the Navy
1t is expected that the instructions of the
Navy Department to Lieutenant Berry of
the relief steamer Mary and Helen will vary
but little from the Recommendations of the
report. After reviewing the course which it
was known the Jeannette intended to pursue,
and the circumstances under which she was
last seen, the report recommends that the
Mary and Helen should leave San Francisco
about June 1st, to arrive at Herald Island in
the middle of August. She should visit on
the way Petropauloski, for Arctic clothing,
dogs, sleds and dog food thence to Saint
Michaefs, to Saint Lawrence Bay, to East
Cape, to Cape Serdge Kamen, to Kumotochin
Bay, to Herald Island thence to the south.

cairns and other notices from the Jean

IBERIA, near the Tehuktchi villages.
II necessary the steamer should winter at
some harbor on the southern or southeastern
end of Wrangel Land, or on the Siberian
coast as near as possible to Wrangel Land,
SO as to make sledge journeys to the east
coast of Wrangel Land. She would lot re-
main in the Arctic more than one winter. In
structions should be given subject to the dis
cretion of the commander of the relief vessel.
The Mary and Ellen is described in the re-
port as new and strong, with speed of
eight knots under steam and fast under can
vas. She is the only fit vessel that could be
procured for the purpose, was specially built
for Arctic navigation, and with some neces-
sary strengthening is the best means in the
reach of the Government. The report closes
with the expression of belief that the Jean
nette should be considered safe until news of
disaster is received

hife.
PORTLAND, April 20tb.-At the advanced
age of 70 years, 6 months and 5 days, Gen
eral Joseph Lane died at his home in Rose
burg, Douglas county, last night, after a
lingering but painful illness. In many re-
spects deceased was remarkable man, and
his political career constitutes an important
part Of the history of Oregon. He was a
early age he emigrated with his parents
to Indiana, and at IA years of age be-
came clerk in store. He was several
times elected a member OF the Legislature
of Indiana, between 1922 and 1886 from
Evansville District. He was Colonel cf the
Second Regiment of Indiana Volunteers at
the commencement of the Mexican war For
distinguished gallantry at number of bat
ties he was promoted to Brigadier-
Major General. General Lane was ap-
pointed by President Polk Territorial
Governor of Oregon in August, IS4S.
He organized the government OF the Terri
tory during the same year. From 1851 to
1859 he represented Oregon as delegate in
Congress. He was elected United Ststes
Senator in 1859, and served until 1861. On
March 2, 1861, he made his famous speech in
Congress on the right of the South to secede
from the Union. He was nominated for
Vice-President on the national ticket with
John G. Breckenridge by the Baltimore
Democratic Convention of 1860 On his re-
turn to Oregon in 1861 General Lane retired
from active participation in either State or
national politics, and returning to his farm
in Douglas county, he lived for nearly ten
years in complete obseurity, only associatng
with his relatives and intimate personal
friends. Since 1872 he has mingled more
with the world and abandoned his recluse
like mode OF life. About twelve years ago
General Lane lost his greatly beloved wife,
which weighed heavily on him in his ad-
vanced age and with his declining health,
During later years ho has taken a more ac-
tive interest in political matters, going so far
in his Democratic zeal as to make speech in
this city during the Presidential campaign of
1876. He was nominated for State Senator
for Douglas county last year, and was de-
feated, with the remainder Of the Democratic
ticket, by large majority. At meeting of
the State Central Committee ia January.
1880, be was one Of five to prepare an address
to the Democracy of Oregon He took as
active part in the State Campaign last June
as his age would permit, making several
speeches. His defeat weighed heavily on his
mind and pride. He was the last surviving
General of the Mexican war General Lane
leaves a very large relationship in various
portions of the State, all honored citizens.
His youngest son, Lafayette Lane, repre-
sented Oregon fnr one term in Congress.
Shortly prior to his d.ath, General Lane had
his secretary prepare farewell letters to many
old-time friends, which he signed with his
own hand with customary hfmness.
