A more extraordinary anomaly in the his
tory of international commerce can hardly be
found than that which is presented by our
commercial Intercourse with Mexico. We, a
commercial people, most active and enter
prielni; who penetrate the remotest parts of
the earth, anti most distant seas, in search of
trade, and who are
,ever on the &eft foe news
of a - market, have neglected a vast, rich, and
POPUlaus Coruttryt `tin our,border. We have
permitted distant nations to come to American
waters=; and take Away a great and lucrative
trade With our Immediate neighbor, that pro
perlyinlonged to pa. And We have even suf
fered, that small proportion which we had to
decline. Who that sees the New England
bark; laden with notions, sailing from island to
Island, and, from coast to - coast, in the Paeltio
ocean, peddling with the natives, or the New
York or Philadelphia ship penetrating the
Amoor in - search of a market, would believe
that the Americans had overlooked or ne
glected the Made of an adjoining country, rich
in resources, and containing eight millions Of
inhabitants? Yet, such is the fact. Such is
the unprecedented anomaly in oar commercial
history which we propose to notice briefly, and
upon which to make some practical sugges
tions.
We have been led to the consideration of
this 'abject from reacting a valuable work lately
published byMr. Gauzes Butizarrertn, on the
statistics of Mexico in connection with an en
terprise to establish regular mail steamship
communication between New Orleans and Mo
bile, and the several ports of the Gulf of Mex
ico, :We 'confess - that we were surprised at
the facts exhibited. We' desire especially to
sail the attention of the commercial men and
manufacturers of Pennsylvania to the subject.
What an extensive market for the iron and
other manufactures of Pennsylvania might
there not be crested in Mexico! By such com
mercial intercourse as is needed, and is now pro
posed to be Initiated, the trade of Mexico is ca
pable of an almost incalculable development.
And in such a trade we can readily conceive
what a demand there would be for the iron
wares and railroad and other materials of iron,
such as we manufacture in Pennsylvania. It
is important, therefore, that the people of this
State should understand the matter, and that
our Representatives in Congress should aid,
'as far as they may be able in a constitutional
manner, whatever projects may tend to deve
lop our trade with the neighboring Republic.
Mexico joins the United States, and territo
rially is but one country for a distance of near
two thousand miles, from the mouth of the Rio
Grande to Fl Piero, and from thence across to
the Pacific ocean. Its coast is but a confirm. ,
ation of our coast on the Gulf of Mexico.
There is no intervening territory. The United
States and 'exits° enclose the Gulf and make
it a sort of American Mediterranean. Some
of the ports are within a few hours sail of each
other, and zone over a few days at farthest.
.Along a coast line of near three thousand miles
are a number of harbors and towns which are
the outlets of vast riches, and are the natural
commercial entrepota of millions of . people.
At least twelve millions of people, five or six
millions in Mexico and six or seven millions in
the United States, trade directly with each
other or with foreign countries by the way of
the Gulf of Mexico. From Pittsburg, in Penn
sylvania, there is a continuous water commu
nication to Vera Cruz, Tampico, or to any
other port in the Gulf, and with not ever three
or four days sea, navigation by steam to the
most distant one. The trade going out of
and 'coming into the United States by this
way is over two hundred millions in value
and to and. from Mexico to all parts of the
world over fifty millions. The trade of Mex
ico hy the Gulf ought to be, and would be
in a few-years, by proper aids for its develop
ment; double or treble that amount. •
Now -_ with all these advantages for, inter
communication and an extensive commercial
intercourse with our sister Republic—with
Mexico—the. richest country naturally, per
haps, in the world, what do we find -Why,
instead of the United States having the bulk
of the actual trade, and of stimulating Mexico
.to deal+ , or treble the present amount, which
would be within its capacity, we have less
than one-sixth.. This is a fact, extraordinary
as it. may appear, taken from statistical data,
and the' figures publiihed in the work of Mr.
Borxxsirszn, before alluded to. Such a state
of things could not exist ' if there were not
something anomalous and radically wrong m
our commercial policy with that country.
The people of this country do not lack enter
prise. They are quick to perceive, and ready
to invent, the way 'and means to commercial'
Wealth. In many
,cases we lead in the race
with the most enterprising nations where the
advantages 'are equal. But here the advan
tages naturally, by proximity, by affinity of
institutions, and by the nature of the products
for exchange, are in our favor, and yet we
have but one-sixth of the foreign trade of
Mexico.
It may be said that the condition of Mexico
is unfavorable to commercial development.
This is true to some extent, as an abstract
statement applied to the actual circumstances
of the day. Doubtless the civil wars of that
country have retarded its progress, and have
thrown much doubt and uncertainty over all
the operations of trade. it Is the same In all
countries. But its trade has not been destroy
ed; and its civil wars have not prevented
foreign nations frpm carrying away five-sixths
of its trade, while we have had but one-sixth.
Mexico will produce silver and other things,
silver especially, and will import goods in re
turn, whatever may be her internal condition.
But one of the chief means of rataing,up that
magnificent country from its almost normal
state of civil war to prosperity and peace is by
enlarged commercial intercourse, such as is
contemplated by Mr. BUTTSIITIELD'II steam
communication and by the tfeaty lately ne
gotiated between this country and thel:
• If, then, we have such natural advantages
for securing the bulk of the foreign trade with
Mexico, and still have only one-sixth, what is
the cause of such a state of things ? The
answer is simple and easy. We have, in a
•word, neglected the artificial means that other
nations, especially • the English, have used.
Englaad'has half the foreign trade of Mexloo.
The secret of the matter is that she has,
had a lonieatablished and regular steam Com
munication with that country. We have had
it but lately, not regular, and limited to one
port. The British Government has paid
liberally for the postal service, which has ena
bled the steamship company to keep up the
The result has been not merely the pro
motion of private interests or the interests of
British trade in general, but a positive ad
vantage to the revenues of the Government.
' Now, we understand Mr. BTITTEItrIELri has
a proposition' before' Congress to establish a
weekly mail steam communication between
this country and Mexico, and not merely from
some one port In the United States to a single
port in that country, but to embrace three or
four ports in the United States, and seven or
eight porta in Mexico. In fact, 'he proposes
to make the circuit of the Gulf once a week,
calling at Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston,
Matagorda, Brazos de Santiago, Tampico,
Vera Urns, Goatzacoalcos, Tobacco, Laguna,
Campeche, and Sisal. • Thus, there would be
established a constant communication, that
must within a shortlime develop, the trade
between the two' countries to an extraordinary
degree, and would in returns of actual postal
income and increased revenue more than pay
this Government for whatever contract it
might make with the projector. It appears to
us that Congeals can fairly and legitimately
make an appropriation so moderate as two
hundred thousand dollars a year for 'this ex.
tensive and important mail service, which
Would reallyeme back to the public Treasury
ten-fold, without breaking in upon the present
system of post office retrenchment. It le too
important a service to be longer neglected. It
requires a contract like the one proposed to
aid in its establishment. When once estab
lished, the revenues of the Government aris
ing froin its service would cover the ameutit of
the contract.
These propositions appear to us to be self
evident. We might make an extended argu
ment to show how it would tend to the welfare
of Mexico, to her peace and advancement, and
to the improvement of our international rola
' then* with her, but we confine ourselves to the
question of our own immediate interests. We

Exchange Tickets on Passenger
• , Railways.
We hope that the proposition to raise the
price •of exchange tickets on the passenger
railways, trona six to eight cents, will-be 'de
feated at the meeting of the Presidents of the
respective companies on, Friday next. Con
sidering the eagerness with which the charters
for .these roads were, sought, and the large
profits they yield upon the actual amount of
capital invested, the public have a right to
expect that the prices charged for travel over.
their streets shall not be unreasonable. It is
questionable, also, whether a single penny
will be gained by raising the prices of ex
change tickets, and whether diminution in
travel will not diminish the receipts more than
increased rates will swell them, It must not
be forgotten that hundreds of persons every
day now purchase exchange tickets without
actually using them, and thus pay an extra
fare of one cent, which they would not do if
the price was raised to eight cents. Besides,
the system of cheap exchange tickets has
exercised a wonderful influence in swelling up
the total amount of travel to the great rare
'gate it has reached, increasing the business of
alithe companies ; and they should not destroy
this incentive to local travel. •
It has almost universally , happened with
popular enterprises designed to accommodate
whole 'comtnanitles, that low prices have, by
increasing business, enhanced profits. It has
been so with cheap postage, with cheap news
papers, and with cheap travel. Let the rail
way Presidents, therefore, for the sake of the
interests of their stockholders, if not out of
regard for that portion of the public who will
be almost necessarily obliged to purchase ex
change tickets, even if the price is raised to
eight cents, abandon this unpopular project.
The theatrical events of the week are somewhat
worth notice. The French Company performed
,three nights at the Wainubstreet Theatre, playing
admirably to not very good houses. There was an
announcement, on Friday evening, that they would
appear this week, but nothing further has trans.
pired. The event of this engagement wasthe pro

Lanretti positively electrifying the audience by the
force and passion of their acting in the two con.

is usually the eme here, a series of coughing' and

that this play, from which " Camille " is taken, was

they are French, and deterred many ignorant and
well-meaning people (who dote on " La Traviate "
and " Camille ") loom attending. We adopt the
following very just oritioism thereon from the
Sunday Tranaeript: ,
"Those who saw thimplese on that evening must
be convinced how everything on the English stage
is vulgarised and exaggerated ; how much coarser
and broader the Enka& heroine is, whom trawler
tors have tried to whitewash into seeming pro
priety, than the French one, whose great study,
whose great charm, whose dangerous attraction. is
the grace, high breeding, and reserve under which
she endeavors to conceal, or at least to idealize, her
dishonorable life. Mine. Prudence, too, is not the
vulgar Mine. Babillard, a caricature in dress and
manners. Armand Duval is a gentleman, never a
ranting boor. The fourth act, which contains the
challenge, was full of passion and force, but never
pealed the Halts of passion expreued gentle
men, imbued with the **it of medern chivalry.

self-humiliation of the penitent Magdalen was

her death is a fitting , punishment and atonement,
and tracing 'his future years of holy affections and
duties, was 'beautiful in the extreme; preiing to
the andienee (who knew only Camilla, in Engliab)
that the difference between the original and the
translation was, that the English .transtater had
left out the moral altogether. The piece was well
put on the stage, (the Watbut has certainty some
of the prettiest ballet girls ever emin,l lied, taken
as a whole, admirably played in all its pasta )
En peasant, speaking of the Walnut, we' must
say, that the attempt, by Mr. Alfred Beeoliey, to
play Richard the Third, showed greater aspire
tton than ability. He succeeded in showing the
sublime of mediocrity to a very crowded house.
We cannot think it probable that he will ever
again attempt to play any first-rate Stialcaperlan
part. If he will wear the buskin, such characters
as Rostnerantz and: Guiletenstern, in "Hamlet,"
may be within his capability.

The Mends of Guthrie, of Kentucky, bave lately
become very active, and are putting him forward as
the only caniidate who can receive the votes of
the friend' of protection to American industry in
Pennsylvania. This is rather a *tinge bid to
coma from the South at this moment, particularly
from a quarter where, however sound a single can
didate may 'be upon the, tariff, he is neeesearily
unsound upon the Territorial question. They have
issued a pamphlet which they are circulating in
large numbers, purporting to be written by an iron
manufacturer of Philadelphia, under the style and
title of "How the iron manufacturers are Viva
protection in 1880." The document in somewhat
ingeniously prepared, and reqiillete every iron man,
or whoever may receive it, to cause the letter or
memorial to ha signed by all persons In his
or their enapl4, declaring their willingness to
support Mr. Guthrie, if nominated; or if that tan
dok be. done conscientiously, then that they shall
express the belief that he le the only man that
Charleston can present who will stand the slightest
'chance of receiving the vote of the iron men. Stroh
letters or Memorials are to .be addressed to every
delegate the signer or signers may know, or rather,
and more smmediately, to the Hon. Wnt. Bigler,
whom the authors of ,the pamphlet suggest as the
beet man to present the claims of the iron-mastore
of Pennsylvania to the Convention. The document
winds up by expressing the opinion that the <lone
deuce of the Iron-men of Pennsylvania in the good
faith and friendship of the Administration waft de
stroyed by the unfortunate award of what is com
monly celled the Scotoh-pipe contract," which
'resulted in losing that State to the Democracy in
180,8, and naively adds that Guthrie is the only
man who can bring it back to its old love. This is
a very small business, and does not, I believe/ meet
the eanetion of Mr. Guthrie himself, but is the
work of several hasty engineers in Washington,
who think that Pennsylvania is to be gulled by
eneb a bait. Guthrie might be made President to
morrow, hut it is evident that, if cleated, he would
bring into Congress with him a host of free-traders,
who Would do with him precisely as they have done
with Mr. Duchanan—refuse to support any liberal
policy that he might adopt, and so leave us as we
have been left by the present dynasty.
The discussion in reference to the Pryor and Pot
ter difficulty is kept up in all circles with uncom
mon animation. The greatquestion of the hour is,
whether the bowie knife is any more "vulgar,"
unehristian, or savage than the pistol, the double
barreled gun, the small sword, or the rapier. The
friends of Potter are multiplying data and strength
ening themselves by going book to the code of
honor 'in the days of chivalry, and dinning down
to the present era. They allege that the battle
axe was the favorite weapon in the tournaments of
old, and was used by the bravest and most polished
knights of the middle ages. They contend that
the emall•sword exercise continues to be used in
France, and the broad sword InGermany, and that
the preliminaries of these contests are duly and
carefully arranged beforehand. They argue fur
ther, that the howle knife, being a Southern pro
duction, has been for long years regarded as an
improvement upon all; that it le worn by many
Southern gentlemen; and that, to this day, the
Arianism toothpick is regarded m an important
part of the domeetie economy of many of the most
ardent advocates of the Southern ends of honor.
Among a large number of the Southern men this
view of the bowie•knife question is heartily sus
tained. I forbear the use of names, bat have
beard several distinguished authorities quoted in
proof of this remark.
Had Broderick accepted the knife, in place of
the pistol, be would have had an even chance for
his life ; but, being opposed by an expert, by ono
who, to use Col. Baker's language in his eloquent
eulogy, "understood the trick of the pistol," and
being himself a realm in the use of that weapon,
he went to the field, as he left the Atlantic shores,
profoundly eonvineed that he would be compelled
to yield up his life for his principles. The whole
*ode as it is upheld in the South, is a barbarous
practise, mid I have not been able to draw the die•
Unction between that humanity which sends a hu
man soul unanointed and unshrined into eternity,
by a bullet, and that other vystem which destroys
life with "an ordinary bowie knife." The bloodiest
transactions of remote and of recent date, some re
sulting from sudden quarrel, and some deliberately
prearranged, have taken place in the Southern
States. The terrible duel between Pleasants and
Ritchie, near Richmond, not many years ego,
was 'fought with pistols and swords; and the
great Seek McCarty duel, also, a Virginia affair,
was fought upon a basil of this character:
McCarty presented to his adversary the choice
of three melee of arbitration ; first, that they
should both leap from the Capitol; second, that
they should 'stride a barrel of gunpowder, and
apply a slow match to it; and third, that they
sholda take muskets, plum the missiles close to
each other's breasts and fire. The latter
propealtiore s was accepted, as the most hu
mane and least 1 ' vulgar ;" and McCarty's
life was saved by his adversary's ' wea,
pen missing fire, while the latter passed to his
final account with scarcely a groan. I have heard
it stated that a formal duel with knives lately took
place In New Orleans, and it Is alleged that two of
the Southern members of the present Mouse en
gaged in a fearful conflict with the ordinary bowie
knife.. Those who know say that there is a ma
nual by which the use of the bowie knife is regula
ted, in prearranged lights, and it is notorious that
many of those who carry this instrument of death
use it with as much dexterity as the Indian uses
the bow or the scalping knife.
That Mr. Pryor is a brave man his former re•
cord has generally shown. I cannot unite with
those who believe it essential to this discussion to
doubt his courage. His impulses carry him astray,
and I am not without hope that his last experience
will induce him to be as courteous in debate as he
is in his !Merman° with gentlemen in private
life.
Mr. Potter, while disolaiming all intentions, as
his words In debate showed, to provoke a per.
sonel confliet with Mr. Pryor, and while holding
up his hands against the oodo of the duello, was
resolved to offer up hie life if need be, and, in order
to prove his eineerity, adopted that mode which
sufficient precedent had juetitied him in proposing.

Your petitioners respectfully present, That an eating*
of the sun will occur on the nth of July next, which
will be visible as a partial eolipee throughout the United
States, but as a total eclipse only to a portion of Wash
inston Territory. The central line of the moon's
shadow on the earth will pus from thence in a north
east &motion, end leaving North Aunties in latitude
oSid degrees, will bend southward. so as to cross the pe
ninnies of Spain, the Balearic is'aitds. and the continent
of Africa es far as the Rod Sea. It is espeoially de
sirable that it be observed from the central lies of the
shadow on the Mlantio, as well as Pacific shores of our
continent.
Not only astronomer' in the employ of the different
Oovernments, but also the wealthiest amateurs, are
making extensive preparations in Europe to visit the
planes most suitable for its observation there. These re
sultiimill afford comparative date for an independent
astrononatcal determination of the longitude of this con
tinent.
Any aorreetfon to tho loneltddes of the coasts, or any
Information which willimport additional confidence in
the accepted longitudes, is of vast and direct practical
benefit to every ship frequenting them. For this reason
every possible opportunity, from the origin of the coast
survey to the present time, has been availed of, which
could thus add to the security of the millions of floating
property constantly near opr shores.
From the feet that the ohm of July next will be
observed at so many well-determined European sta
tions, and by so many trained observers, it will be the

to say, although only Some twenty-fivo miles from

with that important point. When we remember
that there is scarcely a borough or country town in

of the people of Maryland in this respect is well

tho North would go to Annapolis, and pro ,

confer a lasting benefit upon Maryland. The most

qualify young men to become officers in the navy.

PUBLIC PRINTING INVESTIGATION
The Senate investigating committee, raised on
the motion of Senator KIN% of New York, for the
purpose of exposing the corruptions in regard to
the public printing, having been in session almost
elm the commencement of the present Congress,,
will make a report on Monday or Tuesday. The
committee is composed of two Republicans, Messrs.
Kixo of New York, and ANTHONY of Rhode Island,
two Adtainietratteniete, Mears, EMMA of Loui

can, Mr. KINNZDY of Maryland. There will,
therefore, be two, and probably three, reports. I
learn that a majority of the eommittee will report
a resolution yeasting the office of public printer to
the Senate, now held by Brigadier General GSORGE
WASUINGTON BOWM,aw, on the ground that he has
forfeited the office under the law of the last Con

Mr. Snonuax's declaration at New York yester
day, in his groat speech to the Republicans of that
city, complimentary to DonaLAB, has been very
well received here. He says:
"Another significant circumstance connected with
this memorable controversy is, that the prinoipal ele
ment of the strength of one of the prominent Demo
erotic candidates for the Presidential nomination 'con
sists in the fart that throughout the struggle he acted
with the Ropublioans. If the controlling Interest in the
Democratic party shall allow Mr. Douglas to be nomi
nated at Charleston, it will be because they believed
he acquired Northern strength by acting with the Re
publicans on this great question. But /011 may rest as
sured that if this is done, elavery will demand indem
nity for the past and security for the future. Borne new
act of fealtgomme new pledge or submission will be
exacted an the condition of hie nomination. Whatever
may be his fate, I wid do him the Justice to say that hie

This seems to be a double answer to the Southern

PROBADLE MURDER IN Jr.asar CITY—A FEMALE
EGGED GAGGED AND AI . COHOHED IN THE RIVER—
Manx s or VIOLENCE.—About five o'clock this
morning, as private watchman Baldwin was en
gaged at his duties on the Canard dock, at Jersey
city, his attention wan attracted to something in
the water, at the end of the York-street dock.
Upon Closer inspection he diaeovered it to be the
feet of a human being, with the bead and body im
merged under water.
Thinking that this might be one of the vietims of
the sloop Spray, or the oyster-boat E. A. Johnson,
Officer Baldwin summoned his partner, and the two
attached a rope to one of the legs and attempted to
draw the body to the surface of the water, when
they found that it was held Arm by some weight
attached to it. They then made the lint fait to the
dock, and notified Coroner Morrie.
The coroner shortly after proceeded to the spot,
and upon taking out the bodyrfonnti it to be that of
a woman in a perfectly nude state ' with the env-
Mon of the yoke of a chemisette and about three
inches of the top of a white cotton Mocking.. One
end of a rope was found passed around the neck,
drawn twice, tightly through the mouth, whiob
caused the tongue to protrude.
The rope wee fastened by a peculiar knot, called
by boatmen a'" timber hitch." The other end of
the rope was fastened to a barrel of_pitob, which
was considerably imbedded in the mud, and it is
supposed could not have moved any distance after
haring been sunk. The remains were removed
to Mr. Hope's, undertaker. in Newark 'avenue,
where they will remain until Monday or Tuesday,
for identification.
