WHERE QUE MEXICAN INTERESTS

The American people are usually accorded
the character OF being swayed by national
motives, and acting upon the principles of
common sense. We have put an immense
amount of money into Mexican enterprises;
railroads are now completing that will put
a vast am punt OF remunerative trade into
our hands. Are we int nding TO risk all by
arousing the fears aud provoking the preju.
dices of people with whom we have such
strong reasons for desiring to be at peace?
England, France and Germany are trying
all they can, just now, 10 stand we'll with
Mexico, because the railroads we regard as
bound TO increase our trade, the traders of
Europe view as likely 10 rob them of good
customer. 1t is an intolerahle thing to say,
but there are people who are sciually play
ing into the hands of the Europeans by say
ing things calculated to revive all the Mexi-
cans old jealousy of us, and to destroy their
confidence in us. Ex-senator Conkliug said
the other day the time was at hand 10 make
good Gen. Grants assertion that "the inter-
este of Mexico and the United States should
be made identical, commercially, socially
and politically" and that the ex-president of
the United States "might be recognized as the
leader of the great movement" That "po-
litical" should be connected with the social
and commercial advantages we are snticipat-
ing from our more intimate relations with
Mexico, is sure 10 occasion remark among our
touchy nsighbors, and in way that is not
advantageous for US. Some of the articles
that have appeared in the press respecting
the unwise language OF Mr.. CJnkling, have
a sort of half mysterious way of discussing
the subject that is not calculated to mollify
the feelings of the hidaIgos. A prominent
New York journal before us says: "Rsti-
cence is a valuable quality in craftsmanship
and diplomacy; but in these days OF speech
making and interviewing, it ia coming to be,
so to speak, one OF the lost arts. Com
mendable as these sentiments may be from
the patriotic standpoint-as patriotism goes
now sdays-we cannot refrain from saying
that the public proclamation of them, at
this time, is singularly impolitic if not cal
culated to defeat the very end they profess
to have in view" Here we fnd an apparent
recognition that there is something on hand
that it is necessary to be reticent about, and
what is intimated as so conformsble to
American patriotism is quite adapted to ex-
cite Mexican patriotism also, and that teel.
ing is already manifesing itself A little
more such talk as Conklipg's and that feel
ing will begin TO show itself to very disa-
greesble extent. Suspicious are arising in
the Mexican mind that annexation ide as
may be resuscitating, and that our
| railway extension was planned with
view % it. National prejudicss and
national pride, as we ought 10 be very we'll
aware from our own recent experiences, is
| unressoniDg; feeling and impulse dominate
and cool common sense ceases TO rule. A

PROGRESS OF PEACE pK1sOIpLEs.

A long and disastrous war has ragged be-
tween Chill aud Peru, in which the peo-
pie Of the latter country were thor
oughly suodsed, and unfortunately their
conquarsrs did not use their power mer-
cifully. Il IS gratifying to see that Chill has
not persiated il it's ungenerous severity, but
has at length agreed to peace that is more
forbeariDg toward tue unfortunate Peruyisns
THIN had been looked for. Chilli takes the
provinces Of Tacns and africa from Peru,
but not with the harsh absolutism with
which Germany tore Alsace and Lorraine
from Francs. II will hold them for ten
years. AT the end of that lime the inhsbit-
Ants will decide by vote TO which of the two
countries they shall belong, and the country
10 whom they, or either OF them falls, will pay
compensation TO the other. This way of SET
Ting the ultimate destiny OF the provinces is in
accordance with a principle the friends of
international peace have urged as much
more national, just and saving of destruction
to human life, as well as cheaper than hav.
ing recourse TO shot sad shell. Christian
and benevolent people everywhere will re-

THE POWER OF PRAYER
Tested by the Young Mems Christian
Association AT Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, May 1S.-The morning SEES
sion of the International Committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association was de-
voted 10 business. Action was taken on the
report Of the committee to whom was re-
ferred the annual report of the international
Committee. They recommended a number
of resolutions, and all were finally adoptt d,
but heated discussion was awakened by 8
resolution which had reference TO the &C.
ceptance of charter from the State of New
York, and the makeup of the International
Committee. Delegates from Indiana and
Missouri objected TO having the international
body located in New York, claiming that
the center of population is further west, and
that more Western men ought to be on the
International Committee. A prolonged s:rug-
gle followed, interrupted finally by Presi-
dent Colby, who suggested that they join in
prayer and ask aid in solving the difficulty.
After half an hour of devotional exercises,
the discussion was again taken up, and be-
came more heated than ever, but soon after
noon the resolution was carried and the
Western delegates beaten, New York re-
manning the head center of the body, and
the International Committee unchanged.

HOmE.sRowN TEA.

To large extent tea is taking the place
of coffee in this country. There is little
doubt that tea is a more Wholesome beverage
than coffee, especially during warm weather,
and still more especially in the South. Its
cooling and refreshing effects are surprising
to those who have not used the article.
Where there is feeling of exhaustion from
overWork, from heat, from worry, or from
any kind Of mental perturbaiion,= tea has a
wonderful restoratipe and calming effect.
Attempis have several times been made to
grow it in this country; La Due, of the
United States Agricultural Depart nent, ex-
perimented with it, but the results of his eff
forts have not been reported. The New Or
leans Times Democrat says that where private
persons have attempted growing tea in a suf.
fciently warm climate they have succeeded,
that it has been grown for years in
some parts OF Mississippi by families who
raise it foE their own use. These growers
say that the quality is good, that the crop is
almost cure one, and that it pays. That il
pays is most likely, as importers secure a
heavy profit. 1t would be interesting 10 try
to grow the verbs mate tea that is so great

America, and that ia credited with restora-
tive powers beyond that of the Chinese ar

HUBBELps PURCHASED VILLAIN.


So soon as Chalmers read our exposure OF
his falsehoods and unspeakable meanness, he
harnessed up the lightning and denounced us
by telegraph. Not satisfied with this exploit,
and writhing and squirming in the public
pillory in which we had placed him, he
writes letter, in which he adds to his repu-
tation as q notorious liar. He is too cow
ardly to make the direct charge, but sneak
ingly insinuGtes that We robbed the Confed-
crate dead Of trust fund collected for their
monument" He knows that the fund
alluded TO was loaned out at interest by the
ladies who had it in charge. and that every
dollar was returned, with Interest, by the
parties to whom it was loaned. Maj. Minor
MeriwelheT, Gen. CO w. Gordon, Col. Will
liam F. Taylor, and hundred other Confed-
crate soldiers Of Memphis, will certify to this
fact, thereby proving that Chalmers is enti-
tied to the reputation he has won as a COM
mon sIanderer. He proposes to show by our
files that he smuggled into our editorial col
Pmns as original matter extracts from one
Of his addresses. We do not know to what
he refer5, but we do know that he is a news
paper fend, and that he has written editori-
ais in praise Of himself, his speeches and in
furthersnce of his selfish ambition, and that
We can prove that he asked us over his own
signature to compliment his ability as editor
of the Vicksburg Commercial. After being
insulted and kicked so often by Col.
Van H Manning during the Last
canvass that he could tell what sort Of
leather the toe of tbs boot was made, and
after permitting aboard of arbitration" TO
''setle" his difficulty" he promises not 10
call to his aid another If We should eeek
"redress" We have denounced him as q
PusilanimOus coward and traitor, proved
that he has uttered "arraut fslsehooda" and
that ne is turncoat who sold himself out
for Office, and is despised by his purchasers,
and we have no grievances to redress.

THE GRAND oorrox EXPOSITION


THE GKAND COTrox EXPOSITION.
That excellent monthly, the Planters Jour
nal, which is the organ of the National Cot
ton Planterh' Association, speaks in the most
cheerful terms in lis May Issue of the pros
poets of the great Cotton Exposition at New
Orleans. Iadeed, ever since New Orleans de-
cided to become the spot where the exposi-
tion should be held, the general feeling has
been one Of satisfaction and OF entire conf
derce in the success of the great undertaking.
In New Orleans itself the enthusiasm is be-
coming intense. The old Creole pride for
the honor of the city, and Of the State Of
Louisians, is rising up with power in it
and determination behind it that are sure
harbingers OF coming success. New Orleans
people are hard to reuse, but when
they are aroused their energy knows
no check. A keen contest is arising
as TO where the exposition is 10 be
held. The upper city park is in favor, and
it has been proposed to name it Richardson
Park, in honor OF the president Of the ex-
position. Col. Walker, on behalf OF the
street railroad compsnies, has offered $780,
300 to bsye the location awarded TO the west
end; Mr. Ssiter offsrs s250,000 to have it
held at Spanish Fort. The Painters Journal
reminds It's readers that the exposition is
not New Orleans ezposition, nor Lou
isiana exposition, nor even national eI-
position; il is International, like the centen-
NAL of 1876. and among its displays will
: be found the Industries OF all nations. 1t
will be no mere cotton show, but a vast con-
centration OF what is Ingenious, admirable,
curious and beautiful, from sll lands and all
chimes. 1t is not local, but concerns every
home and every citizen of the South. 1t Is
the exposition Of every city, village, farm
and plantation within the confines of the
whole South, aud must be made worthy of
the South-something every Southern
er can rejoice in aud boast Of.
This being the state OF things, the
PIanters' Journal says: "Let US at once
commence to orgsnizs an srmy-an army
that will be invincible in the great
struggle for Southern industrial supremacy,
and let us call X The Grand Army of Peace
and Progress 1t will have its first grand
eucampment at the Crescent City during the
winter Of lSS4-S5. Let US be busy in the
meantime establishing posts and organizing
and drilling companies, battslions and d.
visions in every county of every cotton
State. Let us commence to mobilize the
millions. Let every man, woman and child
enlist and do his or her part in the great
work whose aim and object is to show to the
whole world the wondrous resources and the
nstchless fertility Of this native land Of
