The Press Of Mexico.

A correspondent says The press OF
Mexico is as different from that of ten
years ago as everything else is different
here. To be sure there are some rare
exceptions in which now and then some
obscure and short-lived little sheet will,
like toad-stool in a garden of roses,
spring up and nauseate with its pesti-
lent outpourings those who are SO I'M
fortunate rs to touch it. but these are of
short life and seldom seen, except in
the low and filthy purlieus frequented
by those who issue them or earn pre-
carious living by pandering to the de-
PRAYED tastes of low and unprincipled
characters. No respectable newspaper
in this capital will disgrace its table
by having any such papers upon it. nor
much less by noticing them in any way.
There are MANY very excellent papers
in this city, 10th dailies and illustrated
weeklies, edited 4 in Spanish, French,
German and English, all popular and
apparently prosperous. but my atten-
ton has been particularly attracted to
one which, although comparatively
new, is far ahead of all the others in
everything requisite to make a paper of
value, and therefore it enjoys a popu-
larity and commands the respect of all
classes of readers in this country.--M.

We were surprised 10 see in & late
issue of the Chicago Ieral& the most
ignorant and meXCUsuhle attack on
the soldiers and sailors of the Mexican
war that we have seen anywhere iu
print. 1t is strange that this paper
should be an enemy Of these brave,
gallant and meriluriuus warriors, for
Illinois won fame anI glory in that
war, and has SONS to-day in her Dor
ders who need the assistance Of a
Government, that they served
with naked hcrosm and SUCCESS in
a contest that added, as is confessed
by this paper, three hundred and
thirty million acres Of Iand to the
national domain and the millions OF
dollars that have been dug out Of the
bowels Of the Pacific slope. 1t saws
that il Will take S47,0O0.000 IN cash
SO, 600, 900 per snnum thereafter to
pay these men pension. This is a gross
and indefeusiule misreprgs antltion,
and has been rcsorted t. by the
enemies of the Mexican yetCrIqns to
scare Congress from granting them
aid ana rclsfe. In the first plabe, there
are but few Of them living, and
will require but q small sum TO llIcol
them on the pension roll 1t is now
aSCert aimed that there are over 100,
600, 900 acres of land granted to rail
rouds, that have been forfeited by
failure on the part eff these corporations
to perform the stlpu.aIOns annexed
10 their grants. There is a powerful
lobby at Washington working like
beavers to retain these acres for these
railroads They Will succeed in hold
ing this i'll gotten advantage If the
representatives of the people do Tot keep
n weather eye upon this lobby and
drive them ont Of the Capitol. The
Chicago Herald should remember that
what this empire, won by the valor
and blood Of these Mexican veterans,
has been given to ralh Dad bosses BY
the Republican, party. IL should re-
member that these forfeited 100000, |
600 of acres Were secured in the same !
way, and if Congress gives fair play |
to gratitude, they will seize them and |
bestow them upon the men who secur- |
ell them by untold prIVauOnS and /
dangers. 1t does not look right for
Congress to fling away this large part
Of the public domain brought into the
Union by the Mexican war, upon
