Scbfort) inquirer. BEDFORD. PA„ FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1566. , THE MEXICAN IMBROGLIO. All the signs of the times as indicated by the political horizon point to a speedy abandonment of Mexico by Maximilian. What is to become of Mexico ? Boor, <h - fraeted, torn by civil feuds, oppre-.ed with debt, incapable of self government, amino one able or willing to undertake ;t for h( r, is she to drift again into anarchy ? Like a sick man in the hands of officious Irieuti , there arc many to advise remedies, but few who would be willing under similar circum stances to take their own prescriptions. Th" abandonment, first of England ami Spain and now of France, of the experiment of estab lishing an imperial government in |j>; '• •- tioii of the American continent wit! doubt less be the endtf all attempts of the kiad by European Governments. All effort# hitherto by the -Mexicans themselves to establish a permanent government have been signal failures. There is a general agreement that the interests of commerce require a stable government of some kind and European nations are evidently not only willing but desirous that the L nited Sta.o should undertake the difficult and expensive task of governing Mexico for the general benefit. Our own people have frequently discussed the practicability as well as the propriety of such an undertaking, lhat the interests of humanity, as well as of commerce, would be promoted by the estab lishment of peace and harmony in this ill fated country is everywhere conceded. 1 n view of the possible benefit - to be derive ! to ourselves, or confeired upon them, should we undertake the task ? If we do. how is it to be accomplished ? These are the ques tions likely soon to occupy the public mind. Two objecticns arise : first wc have the vexed question of reconstruction to settle ; second, wchave already an immense territory, and the acquisition of more and that inhab ited by an ignorant and turbulent papula tion, is of doubtful expediency. To the first wc would answer that the question of reconstruction, while it is a grave and per plexing one, has but slight bearing upon the Mexican question and that for the most part arises from proximity. To the second we would reply that thus far extent ot ter ritory has in no way interfered with the har monious working of our system of govern ment and that from the genius of our institutions and the nature of our political fabric we believe it to he capable of success ful application to an indefinite extent of ter ritory. That we would have no reason to doubt our ability to control as teiritorics and gradually absorb as states the whole area of Mexican dominion, California gives us the most convincing evidence. The ques tion, therefore, is narrowed down to this: What shape are the affairs of Mexico likely to assume on the departure of Max imilian and his French allies ? We have no right to assume a protectorate over, much less to ar>p - or™ a(e the territory of our neighbor, without her consent, or request. W ill she request us to do either ? The imperialists departing, Ortega, Santa Anna and Juarez, will each be at the head of a faction and each claim ing to be the legitimate Government of the nation, the old feuds and animosities will again distract the whok country. Our Government at present, recognize.-: Juarez, as the legitimate head of the Mexican Government. Would we be justified according to the laws of nations and the spirit of our Republican institutions, in as sisting, him in the establishment of his au thority or in assuming a protectorate at his request? Until these questions arc decided, speculation is useless. If they are decided in the affirmative and the Juarez government asks a protectorate, wo believe our own welfare, the welfare of the "Mexican people and the interests of humanity would bo thereby promoted. Wc have no fears that the undertaking would be expensive or troublesome. Mexico with her varied cli mate, fertile soil and inexhaustible mineral resources, has within her all the elements of boundless wealth and prosperity, and only wants a stable government, the education of her people and the infusion of a spirit of enterprise to make her one of the most prosperous sections of the North American continent. All these the United States can readily furnish. THE MARYLAND TROUBLE. In the contest between the police Com missioners of Baltimore and Gov. Swann the plot daily thickens, and the evidence of a conspiracy between the President and his "shadow of a shade," and supple tool, GOY. Swann, hourly becomes more clear. That the President is at the bottom of and insti gating Gov. Swann's efforts to defy the laws of the State, scarcely admits of a doubt in view of the frequent interviews between them, and the indecent haste shown by tlie Governor in his efforts to remove the legally appointed Commissioners at the first de mand of tlie disfranchised rebels. The bone of contention is the registry law passed du ring the rebellion and disfranchising rebels and deserters. This law alone saved the Maryland Legislature Iroin falling into the hands of rebels, and Maryland from sece ding as did the other slave States. To it also Gov. Swann, himself, owes his election, but he has since, like his accidental proto type, betrayed tlie loyal men who raised him to power and now undertakes to subvert a clear law of the State, for the purpose of carrying the Baltimore elections for mem bers of the State Legislature and electing conservative rebels, thus securing a rebel majority in the Legislature and the el ftion of himself to the United States Senate for the purpose of upholding the President's policy. This is the real secret of" the Gov ernor's indecent haste in forcing the trial of the Commissioners, as well as, of the Presi dent's complicity in the nefarious plot. The crime of the Commissioners consists in the faithful discharge of their duty ol appoint ing Judges of election who faithfully obeyed the registry law and refused the votes of all persons disfranchised by the same. This resulted in the election of a loyal city govern ment in Baltimore. For this mortal offence against rebels and traitors, Gov. Swann un dertakes to removclhem from office with a xicre tiioekery of a trial, for the express purpose of placing in their stead such men as will aid him in defying the law and hand ing over the state government tt> rebels. Both parties now hold a determined attitude. The Commissioners consciousof right declare . their determination to discharge their du- j • and obey the law. In the proceedings; ou Friday last the Governor notified the I Counsel that he would not wait longer than the following Wednesday, but wou;d then, act upon such evidence as might be present ed at that time of the guilt or innocence of the Commissioners'. This is everywhere re garded as an indirect cxprc: . ion of his deter mination to remove them and appoint others to suit his own purposes in time to control the election on Tuesday next. E- "h party is evidently preparing for the emergency with a grim resolution that forebodes trouble. If Gov. Swann inhi3 temerity ami reckless ness 6f consequences precipitates a. collis sion of forces in Maryland, there is no t iling where the difficulty will end. M c yet have hopes that the difficulty will be carried into the courts and peacefully ad jn tod. But if the loyal men of Maryland are, obliged to defend their rights by force they will not not stand alone. The defence , and protection of Loyal men is the cause of j the nation and by the nation that cause will be vindicated. A PEW PLAIN" FIGURES. Every community has its croakers; aciaas of individuals who stand ever ready to mag nify or decry a cause or effort, to paint it in its Worst colors or to laud it to the skies, and it were st range indeed if this community should be entirely exempted from them. But we know it is not and it is hardly pro bable that it ever will be. There is an oid | saying that "the fools are not all dead yet,' j which appears as apt to-dav a>it did iQ the days of bur fathers, and we are admonished to believe that the clownish clas is ou the increase instead of diminishing as eveiy. oo > has appeared to think would be the case. It is evident that if there is onSfield above j another in which these croakers or fools seem to revel it is the political. A f'vf-Hrig who has scarce seen his majority, as-umesto himself all the airs of a politician, and ne imagines that upon his shoulders rests the great cause of the country, forthwith he pro phesies this that and the other a.- if he knew by his own efforts that a certain result would ' be accomplished, and when the result is re ceived", he learns to his discomfiture, that he simply knew nothing about the facts, and that he had reckoned without his host. There is another class of croakers who cro tk to bolster up their cause rn direct violation of truth. This cla.ss is less excusable than the former, if not as numerous. Bedford county instead of being an exc-p --tion to the rule, has a larger proportion of these croakers than any other portion of the State. Immediately proceeding or follow ing an election, we are treated to column af ter column, besides sidewalk demonstrations innumerable, as to what Bedford county will do or can do. She can give twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six hundred Copper head majority, according to the tempera ment or experience of !", or., at or. A year or two ago it was confidently asserted that the majority would be carried up to twelve hundred, while in the late campaign it was never put at less figures than six hun dred, and yet there is only one instance in the whole history of the county, at least for ten years, that the majority exceeded six hundred as will be seen by the following table: Dcm. Itcji. Total. Dcm. Jlaj. Hcji. 31 nj. 1856 2458 2242 4700 210 : 18-W 2338 1066 4301 372 I Sort 2007 1811 3SIB 190 ]S5y 2147 2011 4158 136 j ~;ui 2221 2505 4729 2 1 1862 2320 1679 3999 611 istf.l 2701 2130 5134 271 1564 2752 2336 stss 410 1.805 2579 2431 5010 143 1866 2035 2591 5426 214 In 1862 when there were only 4009 votes polled, when twenty live per cent, of the Republican party was in the army, the ma jority ran up to 641 ; since then it has not exceeded 275, save in 1864 when it was 41G. In 1803 we polled the heaviest vote that has ever been polled previous to the late elec tion, and then the majority stood at 274; at the late election the vote exceeded by 300 any vote previously cast, when both parties fully developed their strength, and instead of an increase on the majority of 1863 there was a loss of 30 votes beside the usual per cent, of increase. These are the best figures in the whole table for our Copperhead friends. If the vote of 1862 is taken as a basis, when the majority was 641, their loss is 397 ; if 1864 should be taken, when they beat us 416, their loss was 172. The vote in 1865, when wc were beaten 148, according to our figures, was very little of a test, as they lost the advantagcof their disfranchised population in all districts controlled by the Republicans, but at the late election they did not lose one vote more than we did, and we are under the impression that we lost votes by their rejection in some districts, as all Copperheads were transferred to districts under their control, while the Republicans remained to be rejected. All these figures show clearly to the unbiased mind that Re publicanism is slowly but surely sapping away the Copperhead majority, and the day is not far distant when Bedford county, di vested of its ignorance, will ignore the blind adhesion to a name, and place itself on the side of right and intelligence. The above figures show in a conclusive manner the obstinacy with which this coun ty is generally contested. There is no other county in the State whore there is uniformly such an effort as here. The late contest was one long to be remembered. Greater effort was made, more money was spent, more rascality practiced, more speeches made, more display than in one half the other counties in the district, and with all this wo came out of the contest much better than we did on any full vote ever cast before in the county. Is this not enough to make us hopeful? The last Court gave Common Schools to Southampton ! Truly the world moves, and in a few years the fruits will roll back to us and sweep Copperheadism, or the element which is growing out of it, into the common gulf which swallows up the foul iniquity of the world, and leave ua pure and regenerated county, lree from the contaminating touch of a party that blights as it advances, and whose oniy epitaph will be "EVER TRUE TO THE INTERESTS OF SLA VERY. " <M>-Tho Copperbea&s have undertaken i the hunsuiean task of buying over a suffi cient number ot Republicans to giye them the preponderance, an 1 at the same time bribe off all those who are disaffected in their own ranks. Lf we wore a Copperhead and desired to make something trice out of , it, wo_wouid announce our intontic nofgoiu/: over to the Republicans and we would be dead sure or' a nice, fat office or a big pile of . money.

FROM riLGRJM. Pilgritnin his meandering! a lew days after the late election dropped into a village store —no matter where. The store was kept by a "My Policy'" man who also has the Post Office. Feeling like a stranger in a strange laud, Pilgrim seated himself in a corner, and watch ed the comers and goers. Cornercative-Da vis-Johnson democrats could be uistinguished by their woe-begone countenances. It was a sad sight—the last lingering hope had expi red; they looked like mourners reluming from a funeral. Their voices were no hoarse and husky that they could not even chirp their favorite thread-bare sou3 —"A %• t KloocR! ! NIOOEII ! ! !" with the beautiful chorus—"Excluded States and Rump Con gress !'* The scene was moving, but they deserved their fate, ar.d Pilgrim e mid not weep. The discomfited dupes of "My Poli cy" inquired with accents scarcely audible — "w-h-a-t is the e-l-e-e-t-i-o-n n-ew-s?" and re. ceived prompt responses as follows : '•Penn sylvania has gone Republican !" "Geary is elected !" "Clymer is at tha foot of the lad der 1" "Filler has killed himself !• His se eret pledge did not bring the answer !" "Poor Meyers has gone up : he is a gentle man but was on the wrong aide." "Ohio endorses the Congressional policy 1" "Indi ana is Union all over !" "lowa has done the clever thing !" "The people have spoken to Andy in tones of thunder!" tie.. A'c. The disconsolate crest-fallen Negro-shriekera slunk quietly away, thinking probably that in lltcir case at lea -' '-too much of a good thing tea.-; not good The Republicans, whom Pilgrim regards as the tuck Union men, were a noble intellectual looking set of fellows the-better class- of society-the very cream of the community—their countenances beam ed with delight, theirs was the calm, peaceful triumph of a righteous cause. A man with a countenance indicative of anxiety and self reproach made his appearance. He was called a soldier and dressed like a soldier, yet his was not the manly bearing and firm step of a true soldier. He looked from one to another, but finding 110 expre-sion of sym pathy or approval, he turned upon his heel and silently retired. Pilgrim inquired the cause of his strange conduct, and learned that he had sacrificed his manhood by yield ing to tyranieal usurpation : he had failed to do his duty on election day. Poor cowardly creature —he sold his birth-right for a mess of potage. He deserved not to have % coun try. The painful recital caused Pilgrim to sigh over the weakness and imperfections of poor fallen humanity. His soul was fired with a glow of pure patriotism, and lie vowed t.* the gods that he would staud by his Rag, be true to his country, and never shrink from duty in the hour of danger. Pn.iißiM. Nov. 1, 1860. WADE HAMPTON'S LOYALTY. The Massachusetts democrats lately 1 sol ved in Faneuil Hall, among other things, that they believed "th<s people in the South lately in "arms, manifest a .sincere repen tance for their "offencesagainst the Con-ti tution," and that "they have in good faith submitted to the laws "of the land." "Re pentance," wo must remark in passing, is more than wc have for our own part ever expected or been disposed to exact of the Southern people. We do not expect tiiem to show any strong conviction of their own wrong-doing as the result of a sound beating and we think there arc nmch sounder foun dations for a reconstructed Union than pro fossions of such a conviction. However, "repentance" is the word used by our Mas sachusetts democrats; they think "the peo ple in "the South, lately in arm -, manifest a sincere "repentance. " Now General Wade Hampton has lately made a speech in Pickens District, South Carolina, lie is a rather trood test cause of "ie-pentance," for he was himself one of the people "lately in arms," and represents his lellow-citizens so well that he narrowly escaped being elected governor under pro test. But we are constrained to say that any Massachusetts democrat, who should mention "repentance" to Wade Hampton would be very likely to have his nose tweak- j ed for impertinence. Wade Hampton lias I not the slightest idea of repenting. _ Ife denies altogether that lie aud his associates in rebellion have ever done anything to re pent of. The I r nited Slates government, bethinks, needs repent;- nee and purgation of fjin,—but uui. so the defenders of the lost cause. The North, he says bitterly, requires of the South that "she must declare that she has "sinned and like a repentant child she must humbly sua "for iorgiveness. But he rejects the dehiaiid with scorn. If men like him have been guilty of anything it is treason; but, he c.v.jaitus, "shall we submit to the shame which would "Amgto us forever, if we admit that we have "b ■ n guilty of troa. ou?" lie wilt "accopi "the situation," —that is as la- hMi i • tan Is it, — but do not talk to him about repent,nice! But, our democratic friends add, these men who have rapentou have also "in good "faith submitted to the laws of the land. General ITampfcon asseverates the -ame thing, with due flourish and profession of sacred honor and the like. We shall not now call in question the good faith or genuineness of this submis i n, but we iuu-i he permitted to point out that as General Li amp ton explains matters- the terms of the submission may not he understood by the parties in quite the same way "Was the South ever disloyal?" ho ask;,; "I deny that she ever was, and 1 challctt, e h a most, " ut ter enemy to adduce one single instance in which she has been." "The South is. and "ever has been, loyal in the proper :n-- of the "word." "Coupling tliis denial that the South was ever disloyal with the repu diation of the charge of treason, we may well doubt how much is meant by uhipis sion iti good faith "to the laws of the land" tendered by a man like Wade Hampton. He will not admit that he can by possibility be more loyal than he has been hitherto. We can only say that, if so, the quality of hi.- loyalty does not strike us favorably, tiu far from that, it appears to us that the 1 Ai ted States now need a submission in which it is thoroughly understood on both sid< that loyalty is not compatible with deliber ate rebellion and that such rebellion i-, trea son, and treason an "odious" crime.—Bos ton Advertise)'. INDIAN AFFAIRS. The Superintendent of Indian Affairs of Colorado Territory, has forwarded to the Cbuimi'fioner of Indian Affair a letter of General Cai on, commanding Fort Garland, Colorado Territory, in rei ;tiou to difficul ties with the Indian who have recently driven off a lot of stock from the 1 fcurlano, and killing on 1 man and taking prisoner an Attic:;-an woman and four children. General Carson suggests that the settlers take prompt measures for the common de fense, and states that the war, if iniated, will be one of no trifling character. He says also that the Minches are going west, and will beyond doubt, involve the Taban Ins in the war. It is reported that the Kiowa arc committing outre:- in Tex as, with reference to the difficulty with the whites. The Hon. J. K. Chaves, delegate from New Mexico, writing from Santa Fe, under date of October 9, states that it ha- arisen from the niismanng unenr of a of fieer. 1' appear ihu" t ! • widf- it Max well s Hunch-. become ine-ui.-ed on account of the death of on- of th ir num ber by a Mexican .-theep herder.

One of the officers it up;- i. becoming intoxicated, drew )ii> pist d on Kahncatchc, one of the principal chiefs of the Ute band. Hence the present trouble with these Indians, the original difficulty, owing to the killing of ONE OF'EHCIR NUMBER, L.WEII (FITLWFWTTOFIIY adjusted. W. F. M.

PETROLEUM AND ITS PROSPECTS. The heyday of speculation in petroleum and in petroleum stocks is over. There L searcely a possibility that the wild excite ment which at one time agitated the wh >!e country in reference to this production can ever be revived. The reaction ha.- been severe, and by the reflux many valuable in terests have been swept away. But uoth withstanding the depression in business, and the cessation of outside attention to it. those who have been really interested in good oil wells have gone on steadily, with wise measures of industry, and have availed themselves of every advantage which nature permitted. It may surprise many, who, in other pursuits, have lost all sight of petro leum affairs, that as far as production is concerned, th- re ha - never been such a .-ue eessf'ul period a- now. There are more pro during Wells than ever, and although the monsters which spouted forth their thousand and twelve hundred barrels in a day have <•■ ased to flow with any such prolusion, yet he steady yield of flowing and pumping wells is greatly upon the increase. Tbi. can be shown by the export statements, which prove that since the fir&rday of Jan uary last, forty-two millions of gallons of petroleum have been exported from the principal ports of the United States; whereas, in the .-aiuc period in 1805 but fif teen millions three hundred thousand gall ods went forward. This shows an iucrea - ing foreign demand, and also an enlarged home production. We must also recollect that an immense quantity of this product has I con lost by the disastrous fires which have taken place in Pennsylvania; the dam age being qnito sufficient to have an un doubted influence U[ on the trade. Comm r ct d statistics show that the number of ves -> h which have taken petroleum exclusively from Philadelphia, on foreign account, lias i .it as many as -me hundred and twenty ei"bt to eight months, in coal, iron and petroleum, Pennsylvania has advantages which no other Htate can equal.— Tit ascitic Morn ing Herald. TIIE BEAUTIES*" OF BERLIN. The King of Prussia, on the occasion of his triumphal entry into Berlin, a! the head of his victorious army, found in his path a galaxy of charming young ladies, the (lilt of the beauty of the city. One of theso pre sented to the King a wreath of laurel, tied with a broad white satin ribbon. trimmed with gold, which his Majesty gull: nil . at tached to his person and wore through the succeeding part of the pageant. A correspondent mentions that when it was first proposed to appoint a deputation of the young ladies of Berlin, it found gen eral favor at once. On former occasions of a similar nature the ladies had been elected either for their rank or else the social stan ding of their fathers, and had not been espe cially conspicuous for their beauty. It was, therefore, re-<dved .by the committee of management to .-elect the deputation entirely for their beauty. But wow an unforeseen trouble arose, ami that was to find a man bold enough to undertake to play the part of Paris, and decide the conflicting claims of each young lady. This difficulty was obvia ted by selecting a committee of three, it be ing suggested that any one member, when reproached by a rejected fair on, could maintain that he had been outvoted. It was at first p-, oposcd to appoint twenty five young ladies, hut such an outcry was raised, that the number was increased to fifty, and these ha<J to be chosen by the unfortunate committee out of, it is said, 1700 applicants, who sent letters and photographs in show ers. TERRIFIC HURRICANE. Eight Hundred Howes Destroyed.— Great Distinction of life and property. HALIFAX, Oct. 25. * The schooner Victor, which arrived at Ltinaburg, makes the following report; Turk's Island, on the 10th or September, was visited with a terrific hurricane, destroy ing over eight hundred homes aud t heir con tents. Twenty lives were lost and a num ber of persons crippled and otherwise in jured. Over three thousand persons were ren dered houseless, penniless and almost na ked. The whole laboring portion of the colony is in the mo t desperate condition. The public schools, armory, jail, quaran tine hospital, market and all the Govern ment outbuildings were blown down. The Government house and public offices were shattered and a hundred and twenty thou sand bushels of salt were swept away. Six foreign and twelve Island crafts were lost, with twenty of their crew. At S ;!t Cay the ruin was equally severe. Five vessels went ashore; among them the .-cli.-iuuer F dly ,1. Aiken, of Wilmington, and the brigantino, A. G. Cattell, of I'liiladelphia. At Cock Burn Harbor the ruiu 5 quite_ as great. Scarcely enough Imm s remain to shelter the destitute. The American schooner L. Ilieh, from New \ or!:, broke front Iter moorings and went to i <3 on Sunday. Four other vessels were lost. TIIE .MEXICAN QUESTION. lots'hnly of the Empress t 'arlottn —Vnluu- nnt re Officers to he Mustered Out. PHILADELPHIA, Oct.. 20.— Dispatches from Washington state that the Cabinet has not reached a final decision with the Mexi can question. The point to be decided is that the Government will not take any ter ritory from Mexico. A resident of London, writing by the China, throws a doubt upon the seriousness of the illness of the Empress Carlotla, and says that it is caused more from fatigue and from over exertion than from any positive derangement of the mental system. Secre tary Stanton is about to turn his attention to the mustering out, of the volunteer officers. He thinks that the service in which these officers are engaged, can n >w be i rformed by the officers of the regular army, since a large number of those recent ly appointed have reported for duty, and the number is daily increased by new assign ments. A number of volunteer officers will bo mustered out of service in a few days. GEO. A. TRENII OIJ.II PARDONED. Tin Defeat of the Liberals at Salt.Mo. Smuggling on the. New York Border. The President has ordered a pardon to be issued to Geo. A. Trenholm, c-x-rebel Secre tary of the Treasury, and senior member of the Well known lirtn of Trenholm, Frazier A Co.. ol' Charleston, S. C , and Liverpool England. The Heralds special a'.-wtc that there is information sufficient in Washington to .- how there has i.een no battle nor defeat of the Liberals at Saltillo, as reported. The same special-ays that smuggliug is carried on to an enormous extent on the bor der of the State of New York, and meas ures have been adopted to put a stop to it. \\ EST VIRGINIA ELECTION. A Republican Governor, IS.publican Legis lature, Three Republican Congressmen. —A Splendid Victor}/. The Wheeling Intelligencer, of Saturday, EAYS: "We judgo THAT the 1 "niou lliajoritj' in the State will show a handsome increase on the vote for the Amendment, which was carried by 7,00<> majority. The returns lun that Way as far as received. All the coun ties hoaid from show Union gains. Mr. Hubbard's majority for Congress in this District will be fifteen hundred at least, and more likely three or four hundred more. We expect also decided majorities for the other two. The Legislature will he safely and strongly 1 nion. We t Virginia can snare Ohio county, even if it does contain the Capital. l-i N<U'I.AR SUITS. —Th > St. Laui Demo crat has been sued by four indignant.seces sion! ' - for lander the damaccs being laid at $25,001) each. The ground for complaint is that their names were included in a pam phlet issued from the office of the Democrat containing the names of 8000 persons dis franchised under the new constitution, some for being rebels in arms, some for getting out foreign protection paper*, and some for tunning away from the draft-. The rebel syroj utilizers in the city once called this li.-t a roll of honor, but to have one's name on it now seems to be hardly so desirable a dis tinction. THE Denver Xcws publishes the following account of another Mormon outrage; "We learn that Mr. Weston, editor of the Salt Lab Cnioit Yidctte, was taken by the Mor ns ns on the night of the 3d inst., and severely beaten, and given six hours to leave the city and take with him several promi nent Gentiles. Mr. Weston refuses to leave and denounces Mormorism in fhe bitterest terms. From the frequent occurrence of outrages by the Mormons on the Gentiles, serious trouble may be looked for." - TIIK rumors of a proposed demand by our government for compensation for the depre dations of Auglc-rebel privateers, are again in circulation. A despatch to the New York Tribune states, with a little reserva tion however, that the cabinet at the last meeting resolved upon a demand, and that instructions to that effect went to Mr. Adams by the last steamer. This is coup led with a report, which has been floating about for a week or two, that the govern ment propose to pay off the French claims on Mexico, recognize the Juarez government and take a large piece of Mexican territory : n pawn. NATURALIZATION. —The democrats in the city of New York are sparing no pains to keep up the majority there, so as to counter balance the republican vote of the State. Naturalization is an important agent, and men are turned out American citizens with astounding rapidity. Dozens are brought up by a single man, who swears wholesale to all necessary statements, including the character of the applicant. The number of these new made voters, this year, is estima ted as high as 35, 1KK), and copperheads talk of a majority of from forty-five to fifty thousand in the city. THE premature publication of the Mexi can arrangement has caused considerable exasperation in high quarters. Secretary Seward is especially incensed and it is posi tively stated that hut for this leakage all the official documents on the subject would have been published last week. At all events the correspondence has been promised to certain newspaper men, and it will un doubtedly soon be made public. Mu. Henry J. Raymond was educated at the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, New Vo;k, and the students of the institution lately investigated the records to find which of the rival secret societies lie belonged to. rhey were rather amused than astonished to find his flame on the rolls of both.
