Up PopocatepetI.
the Mexican Flnancier.

From the Mexican Financier.
Mr.. Mauricio Rahden, formerly
consul OF this republic at Kansas
City, has secured an option on the
volcano of Popocatepetl, the property
of Gen. Casper Sanchez Ochoa, who
is al present operating the immense
sulphur deposit in the crater, supply
ing sulphur for the ufacture of
powder for the army. Even as at
present operated, on q small scale
aud without modern machinery,
the property pays a good profit.
We learn that it is contemplated to
build an electric railway up the
volcano, connecting a few miles from
the base with the Interoceanic rail-
way. The electric railway will be
utilized for bringing down the sulphur
and also the natural ice for the sup
ply of this city. which should be In
itself q remunerative business. The
quality OF Popocatepetle sulphur is
excellent, md, if mined in large
quantities, would find q ready market
in the United States, which imports
over 10000 tons of this article
yearly, largely from Sicily, the en-
tire annual impor tation being rated
bv the American treasury at ST.
$50 900. II the plans of Mir. Rshden
and his associates are carried to COM
pletinn, the country will gain another
large industry. The sulphur of the
volcano was utilized by Cortez for
making powder for his troop. Baron
Won Hum boldt in his New SPAIN"
says: speaking at the same time of
tin of Tasco which was used in found
ing the first cannon. CorteZ remarks
that he is in no want of sulphur for
the manufacture of powder because q
Spaniard drew some from n noun.
tain which is perpetually smoking,
by going down tied to rope to the
depth of from seventy to eighty
fathoms." He adds that this manner
of procuring sulphur was very dan
gerous, and on that account it would
be better to procure it from Sevilla.
A document, preserved in the family
of the Montanos, and which Cardinal
Lorepzana affirms he once had in his
hands. proves that the Spaniard Of
whom Cortez speaks was named Fran
cisco Monta There is much more
curious information regarding this
early procurement of sulphur by Cor
tez, for which We have not space.

A number of friends of the different gentle
men whose names are now being prominently
urged for the vacant nited States Senator
ship have. it seems. taken up the idea that
because of the publication Of various COM
munications in this paper recommending GER
tain Of those named for the honor that TIE
TIMES is taking sides. We wish distinctly 10
disown any such intention. A few days ago
a short editorial appeared in the paper allud-
mo TO the peculiar fitness of Hon. j. Randolph
Tucker for the position, but outside of that,
no preference has been either directly or IN
directly expressed in these columns for or
against any of the gentlemen mentioned.
They are all sterling Democrats; all men Of
unquestioned ability and popularity. and any
one of them whom the Governor might select
would reflect honor on the party and the
State.
The United States Senatorship IS a public
matter. and the people of the State have a
perfect right to express their opinions con-
corning the appointment to be made by the
Governor. and the communications on the
subject published by Us were given SO that
our readers might see and understand the
drift of popular sentiment nothing more.
No matter who the appointee may be. if he is
of the stamp of any of the gentlemen now
being 50 prominently spoken of as probable
successors to Dir. Barbour. his appointment
will receive unqualified Endorsement and
approval.

GEyEghLLEE IND GLASGOW.
The F.-tiovernor's Friends Greatly Incensed
Mt "Richmond's" Letter.

The friends of Ex-Governor Fitzhugh Lee
are very much put out over communication
which appeared in the columns Of The TINES
Yesterday signed Richmond. and wherein
the writer states that 10 would be more de-
sirable for the Ex-Governor 10 remain IN
Glasgow and attend 10 the affairs OF bis com
many than TO 90 q Washington as nted
States Senator. One OF the staunchest Irends
Of Governor Lee at the Capito! building SAID
IN me Yesterday in reference 20 the matter
The implication contained IN that communl-
cation Is untrue. Tor General Lee never IN
duced any one 20 invest IN the Glasgow enter
prise. 10 the contrary. whenever he had
been asked for his counsel ne advised the
people 20 investigate for themselves and only
make the Investment when they had satleneu
themselves that % would be profitable one. .
Other friends of General Lee expressed
ihemselyes'as highly indignant with the NJ
tack which they considered entirely unWhr-
ranted Mr. William Cameron. of Petersburg
while in this city the other day, distinctly
stated that he mad insisted some time ago
upon Governor Lees accepting lurger salary
from the hands Of the company. but that ne
declined % do so until the company would be
in a more prosperous financial condition.
Later on. when the affairs Of tie concern De-
came more complicated he insisted "a re
duction of his salary o. -. 200, and discharged

Ever since Governor Lees name has been
mentioned in connection with the appoint
ment Of a United States senator he has re
ceiyed the greatest number of indorsemehls

that he might select Governor Lee as sue

object for which the convention was called
