TEE FRE8ENT POLITICAL STATUS OF THE LIBERALS.
, El Pabo, Texas, orrofiTE El Paso, Mexico,
January 24 President Juarez and suite arrived
In El Paso first about the lfth day of August
last, where they remained until ;he 12th day of
November. The French entered Chihuahua
soon alter Juarez departed, auout six hundred
strong, commanded by Captain BUlat. The peo
ple 01 El Paso d d not receive their distinguished
Pietidcnt in a manner becoming his rank and
services, but rather gave him the cold shoulder.
In fact, at that time there was considerable
Frtnch feeling here, assisted aud encouraged by
the resident curate, who, ot course, was thor
oughly convinced of the justice of the French
invasion, and the stability ot the Government by
them established. A portion of the citizens,
including the family of the curate, left El Paso,
fearing the wrath of Juarez, and the latter was
spoken of in terms not at all complimentary.
Shortly after the arrival of toe President and
suite quiet was again restored, confidence re
turned, and with it the fug tives who had so
precipitately fled on, the approach of liberal
principles. The good order.whicti followed the
advent of the Piesident, and the entire absence
of an v thing like revenge on his part, soon pro
duced a remarkable change the verv persons
-who had been his revilera aud traduccrs became
his warmest admirers.
A change came o'er the spirit of their dreams,
and they soon discovered that the abused and
outraged Juarez was a man ot eminent ability,
of unswerving integrity, and a true patriot; one
yvho came not lo destroy but to build up; one
- who came appealing to the noblest feelings of
honor, and determined to maintain them to the
bitter end. From this period oommenced the
grentest revolution in sentiment that has ever
been witnessed in this part ot the republic.
JCABEZ RETURN TO CHIHUAHUA,
Upon the evacuation of Chihuahua by the
French, Juarez, ever mindful of hi cause, deter
mined ut once to return, which he did. lie left
El Paso with scarcely an enemy, but with many
fond regrets.
THE EVACUATION OF CHIHUAHUA BY THE FRENCH
at this time, although wondered at in the East
was not at all surprising to us here. In the first
place the French troops had been greatly de
moralized, and desertions were so numerous that
the entire les of the army ot occupation was at
one time feared.
The spirit of liberty and love of free institu
tions Dervades the breasts of the French also,
and, being for the first time so near (o American
Foil, they were determined to lako advantage of
the opportunity; they fled ia ' all directions, to
Sonora, Sinaloa, and a small portion came this
way. They are now scatte.-ed all over the coun
try. About thirty reached this place, and most
of them have enlisted in the 6th Infantry, United
States Army, stationed at Fort Bliss. They are
heartily tired of the war, and were in ecstacies
of delights at beholding the flag of free America
Fiom what can be gathered from the French
deserters here it is evident that th array gene
rally has no heart in the war, but, on the con
trary, are more friendly disposed towards the
maintenance of free principles; but the iron
heel of despotism, which knows no law but
might, has thus far controlled their sentiments
and obtains by force that which it cannot accom
plish by an appeal to an unrestrained judgment.
SECOND RETIREMENT OF JUAREZ FROM CHIHUAHUA.
Boon after the President returned to Chihua
hua he learned that the French were advancing
again from the South, with new troops, recently
arrived, to permanently occupy the place. As
he had no lorce with which to maintain his posi
tion be again started tor El Paso, and arrived
about December 14, where he still remains. The
French, before entering Chihuahua the second
lime, veie encountered at i'aral by a detach
ment of Mexicans, when a slight skirmish
occurred, which served to delay them tempora
rily, and the Mexicans then retired.
the French are reported to have in Chihua
hua now eight hundred picked troops, and they
are fortifying tie place for permanent occupa
tion. No otlier French troops are ia the vicinity,
the nearest being at Durango, over four hundred
mile distant.
A DIFFERENT RECEPTION AT EL PASO.
The last arrival of the President and his re
ception by the citizens of El Paso was so differ
ent from the first thut it is worthy of note. On
the present occasion he was met outside
ot the town by a cavalcade of citi
zens, and not a few carriages, filled
With the elite of the place; shoits and vivas
Tent the air and great enthusiasm prevailed.
Bii ce then Juarez bus been gradually and surelv
gaining in the affections of the people, but
whether permanently or not it is impossible to
sy. Such manifestations certainly are not dic
tated from policy; for the Government is poor.
it has no rewards te give, but must ask assistance
from its friends.
The lower order of the Mexicans are very igao
rant and time-serving, and have not sufficient
intelligence to understand or appreciate the
principles involved in the controversy; certainly
very nuie constancy can oe expectea oi tnem.
But the more intelligent classes of the comma-
cit have displayed recently great attachment
to Juarez, and the noblo cause he fprcsonts.
Vtlthout doubt the policv of the President, his
de ermlnat on, and unfaltering adherence to
principle, together with his unswerving fai'h in
ibe tustice of his cause, have wrought a change
in the minds of large numbers who wre hitnorto
unaccustomed to witness such noble traits of
character.
LIVELY TIMES Ilf EL PASO.
The town of El Paso hat become rejuvsnated
in a social point of view. It baa to a gr at ex
tent sl'aken off the ancient prejudices anl an i
(1 us ted customs that have surrounded it for a
century at least. The ladies, instead of being
bai red within their respective castles, day and
uf ht, from the vulgar gaze of manly eyes, nov
walk, ride, dance, sing, anl have a goo J tun
senerally; In fact, at prcseu:, pas eos are the
order of the dav, and dancing the order of the
night. On the Kith of September (the Mexican
Fourth of July), a grand ball was given to the
President in the house of one ol the most pro
minent citizens a leluiion of the aloresuid
curate, and formerly suspected ot strong French
sympathies; but on this occasion all met lieely
aud cordially, and received Juarez with every
demonstration of delight.
The ball passed off with great eclat. Since then
numerous parties have beeu given, and geniality
and general good feel'ng are beginning to pre
vail. The American oliicers and ci'i.eus irom
this side of the river are always spiclally invited
and generally atieud. This much has the Presi
dent accomplished in a social pi in tot view; he
has grappled with ignorance aud b irst the bar
riers ot an ancem but contemptible bigotry,
lie Is gradually IntUBing liberal priuciples where
fircviously preiudice reigned supreme. He is
a boring to kindle the spirit of liberty and arouse
a generous emulation. lie is endeavoring to de
stroy Ignorance and to establish enlightenment
and toleration. To accomplisa this he is stmuijf
at the root ot the evil.
CHARACTER OP JUAREZ.
Our great internecine struggle was a calamity
to Mexico even more than to ourtelves, and its
happy conclusion is by none more highly appre
ciated than by President J uarcz, who sees in the
result of our contest a i ew era dawning for
Mexico. He ia emphatically a representative
man, and the principles which he loves and
cherishes, although vindicated on other soil,
swell bin heart with joy and pride at the gran
deur ol our triumph. No one that knows hint
well can fail to admire ins character. Tempora
rily beaten, but not vanquished; poor in re
sources, but rich in the noble principles which
actuate him; occassionally ad, bit never de
spairing nor doubting, he presents a remarkable
example of fortitude and endurance uudT cir
cumstances that would pull the stoutest heart.
DIS CABINET MINISTERS

city. Scnor Lerdo de Tejada, Secretary of Stite,
has been lor years one of the most prominent
men in Mexico, and tor quickne-s of perception
and penetrating discernment has no superior in
the country.
Senor Iglcsias is the Secretary of the Treasury,
bet as that institution is not plethoric at the
present time his duties are not very onerous.
He is a gentleman of tin'; attainments and ex
alted patriotism. He is laboring assiduously to
replenish the exchequer, and if he succeeds will
have accomplished more than even a Chase or
MeCulloch is capable of.
At the present time Scnor Iglesias is trans
lating the President's message into Spanish,
that it may be extensively circulated. President
Juarez is much pleased with the document, par
ticularly the reference to the Monroe doctrine.
He has great hopes of ultimate assistance from
the United States; he considers it inevitable:
and as the Government has always maintained
this doctrine inviolable heretofore, it is reason
ably expected that it will never depart from the
course of action so generally pursued.
juarez'r forces.
Jnarez has with him about five hundred men,
officers and soldiers. They are at present quar
tered on the plaza in El Paso, and are daily per
forming mil.tary exercises drilling, and evi
dently preparing for something. It is under
stood that he has now in this vicinity one thou
sand eight hundred men, who are being rapidly
put in a state of efficiency. S nee their last re
turn they have btfto completely fitted out with
clothing from the sutler's store on this side ot
the river, and present a very respectab.e ap
pearance, as most of the clothing consists of
United States uniforms. They might be takoa
tor Uncle Sam's ver'.tables. (
THE FRENCH FORCES AT CHIHUAHUA.
A large portion of General Patoni's troops are
still hovering around in the vicinity of Chihua
hua endeavoring to cut the communications of
the French with Durango. It is rumored that
Zacatecas is in possession of the Liberals also.
Tbe President has no fear of the advance of the
French to this point. As they are fortifying
Chihuahua, it is not probable that thay will
make their appearance nere, out are rather
content to hold what they have. If they
come tbev will be warmlv received bv the
troops in El Paso, most ot whom are veterans of
the war, and as they are Deing rapidly equipped
they can make a good fight; besides, nearly all
tbe Americans hereabouts are likewise- read v to
take a hand, and as most of tbem are discharged
Calliornia volunteers, they are not to be de
spised.
General Mejia, who recently returned "from
Paris, where he was a prisoner far some time.
has reported to the President. He has been
appointed Secretary ot War.
THE FRENCH EXPECTED AT EL PABO.
We are expecting lively times here soon, par
ticular ,y if the French come, and you can rest
assured that there will be a fight, and a good
one. The French cannot take El Paso with the
force they have at present. If the enemy does
not make an advance in this direction, Juarez
will assume the offensive and attack Chihuahua.
He is confident of success, and not without
reason, with. Juarez re-established in his
legitimate rights as President of the Mexican

the Oranee Societies of the Cauadas is announced
to be held in your city under the ban of English
la, and is notoriously used as an instrument of
insult and persecmlon against our Irish
brethren of the Provinces. A collection of
its Lodges at his time, taken in connec
tion with its past history and the arming
ol its allies in Ireland, will materially
excite the nnvious interest, of Irishmen every
where, and nowhere more' than in the United
States. It will revive recollections which should
be buried, and excite positions only too eager for
such an evidence of fanaticism beyond our iron
tier. In every point of view it is an ill-judzed
inroad on the internal peace of your people, and
a constructive menace to the feelings of good
neighborhood, sought to be preserved for them
in this country tinder adverse circumstances.
Should the convention be held I augur in
creased difficulty. Should it be given up, I an
ticipate a recedence ot much ot the Indignation
created by the St. Albans raid, former Orange
outrages, 'and late proceedings of Gowan & Co.
Whether it be held or not, is it not quite time
lor the weil-d sposed, order-loving of Canada to
see that the Buttle of the Boyne. with nev ac
cessions, be not reproduced ? They who conti
nue or countenance an Old World feud on this
continent, can-ni I object if extranejus elements
attempt a reversal ol the Old World decision.
Depend upon It, however we Irish Americans
favor sell-government north of us, and reprobate
tendencies hostile to it, we are determined to
encourape our countrymen to any extent which
may prove necessary for their protection against
extra-judicial intimidation or fanatical violcuce.
They shall not be insulted or injured in their
class character with impunity, we looking ou.
Assaults on them are assaults on us, and oat of
our strength we shall spare enough to protect
their weakness.
I address you, my dear sir, with a view of call
ing your at'enuon, as a local magistrate of
Ottawa, to tae gro.s in'enciiT oi tuts urange
gathering. Your ass elation with the Irish ele
ment is a further and b tter reason. While we
are repressing the spirit ot filibusterism here, it
is surely not too much to ask that your popula

RemMaioB of Vatiea.
A large number of appeals, from persons claim
ing from the Treasury the remission or return of
duties erroneously or illegally assessed or col
lected, have accumulated and been delayed, in
order that some rules of practice governing these
cases might be established. The law imposes a
duty ppon tho Secretary of the Treasury to pre
scribe these regulations; and in pursuance of
this law, and on account of the great and In
creasing amount ol money flowing out from the
Treasury annually foT the repayment of Internal
Revenue taxes erroneously or illegally assessed
a id collected, or excessive in amount, as well as
for Iho payment of claims for drawback for
b nded goods nnder the Internal Revenue ac
counts, Mr. MeCulloch has decided that all
snch claims shall, al ter having been thoroughly
examined by tho Commissioners of Internal
Revenue, pass through the regular course of set
tlement in the offices of tbe accounting officers
of the Treasury, In the same manner as all other
expenditures lor the Government
llin AatlAunl lfbl, nod How to Pay It.
The. statement originally made by the Con
troller of the Currency, showing the ease with
which the national debt may be paid by a (ax of
ten cents per pound on all cotton raUei in the
United States, is attracting much attention. It
ia shown that we enoy a monopoly of cotton
raising, and in no other way can a sinking fund
be so easily rahed. Others favor a Constitu
tional amendment reversing the Constitutional
provision inhibiting export taxation. Senator
Dixon intioduced a proposition for such an
amendment at tho last season, which failed.
He will Introduce a similar proposition again
this 6cason.
The Richmond "Examiner."
It is known that on Saturday Licutcnant-Gene-
ral Grant refused to revoke the order suppress
ing the Richmond Examiner, expressing himself
in decided .terms against the publication of a
certain class of articles in Southern papers, as
calculated to do irremediable mischief.
On Sunday, however, Mr. Pollard was officially
informed by an officer of General Grant's staff
that the order would be revoked. The course
oi that paper will, in the future, bo loss liable to
objecton.
General Grant will, however, take care that
no newspaper hall bo published containing sen
timents of disloyalty and hostility to the Gov
ernment in any of its branches, and the publica
tion of articles calculated to keep up a hostile
feeling between the people of different sections
of the country will not be tolerated. The circu
lar to this effect, dated February 17, is addressed
to Department Commanders, who. are required
to give such it formation, with a view to the
suppression of newspapers of that character.
There is no distinction as to North and South.
The Freed men's Bill.
There was a Cabinet meeting at ten o'clock
to-day, and no visitors were admitted up-stalrs
Meantime the report prevails that the business
for which the Presilent called them together
has reference to the amendatory Freed men's
Bill.
It seems from present appearances that Con
gress and tbe country will not much longer be
kept in doubt as to his action on that measure,

from the New Orleant Picayune.
The followmef letter to Hon. John Purcell
member ot our State Senate, has been on hand
some time. It expressed what could hardly
have been doubttd by any one conversant with
tr.e President's views and policy, to wit.: hla
desire to see the Government of New Orleans
placed in the hands of those to whom the laws
ol the state have connoea it:

I would state that the military authorities will
not Interfere In any way with an election lor
city officers in New Orleans which may take
place in accordance with existing laws, or in
couformity with regulations prescribed by the
State Legislature, and which will insure the
election of loval men to the office referred to in
your letter. Respectfully yours,
Andrew Johnson.

Tho New York Tribune this morning says:
"Money on call is67 percent, with balances
loaned over night among brokers at 5 per cent.
In commercial paper no change. Best bills 7
7, good 8(r9, and on long 11 tat 10 15 per cent.
"In Exchange nothing doing. The supply of
Southern bills is better. Leading Sterling is
held at 107108, and Franc 6-27J$fij-22r.
"The share market is feverish and the business
wholly con lined to spciilating brokers and pro
fessional operators. The market continues to
be manipulated by cliques loaded with stocks,
and who still hope .by an appearance of activity
and by spasmodic advances, to create a market
lor prooerty which under the operation of
national laws is steadily relapsing into the slough
of floating debt from which it was tempo
rarily rescued by business growing out of the
Rebelbon. Cotton, corn, coal, iron, in short,
all commodities, tend to the prices for
which they sold before the war, and
every movement is toward liquidation. In the
face of this downward commercial ttdo, which
at any moment may be converted into a flood
before which values will be swept with a vio
lence unknown even in this country of panics,
an attempt is being made by speculators, who
have grown rich upon the former necessities of
the trearurv, to stimulate a new advance in
stocks which will enuble tbem to escape the
losser sure to fall upon those who hold property
in a form where it must be fatally iniured by a
restoration of the labor of the country to the
pursuits ot peace."
The Chicago Tribune says:
"The Money Market has ruled verv quiet
to-day, and there Is no change lu its condilion
Tbe demand tor money is active, and the market
generally is elie, but there is no particular
presmre felt, and the bankers are accommo
dating good customers at 10 per cent per
annum; but low grade pHper is generally re
jected. Street rates are 1214 per cent, per
annum, according to the aualitv of the paper.
Eastern Exchange Is in fair demand, and firm
at 1-10 discount to par buying, and par to 1-10
premium selling. Round lots were sold among
bankers at par. There is but a limited demand
for money at present by pork-paekeis, but the
accumulations of train and other produce at
this point absorb the funds of bankers more
rapidly than they desire. Meanwhile capitalists
at the East are unwilling at present to invest
their funds in the West, eiiher by way of pur
chase or loan, and the resalt is the seaon's
product has to be carried entirely by Western
capital. It cannot be expected, therefore, tha.
we will have an easy money market till the
opening of navigation."
