General Orteg-a') Protest sg-Mlsist Pr wi
den Jasiren.
General Jesus Gonzales Ortepa. now In Wash
into. , has juat published the folio wine protest
against tbe decree of Beuor Benito Juarez, ap
pointing himself lor a second term to the Pre
sidency of tbe Mexican Republic:
Protept of the citizen Jesus O. Ortega, President
of We Supreme Court of Justice of the Mexican
Mepublio, against the (Uorees issued by Dim
Jlenito Juarez on the Sthdauof Aoeember, 18C5.
The Impolitic and disgraceful act consum
mated by Don Benito Juarez, in issuing, through
jour official hands, the decrees of the 8th of
Novenirrr last past, has placed me in the pain
ful position of protesting in the name of the
nation against tbe decrees issued by Benito
Juarez on tbe 8th day of November, 1805:-1-
First. Because ihey are against tbe express
provisions of the political Constitution of the
Republic, and as such they are necessarily
arbitrary, illegal, and void.
Second. Because they create a dictatorship,
having at its head Bemto Juarez, who can, at
his will, supersede one of the Federal cove
ri'igns and independent authorities, whose func
tions have been recognized by the vote of the
nut ioi ; in this wise destroying a republican
principle and the basis of loyal order, or, in
other words, the form of government established
by the Constitution.
Third. Because they are in opposition to the
powers delegated to the Executive by the
National Congress, which to-day, notwithstand
ing the existence of a war with France, de
clared, while making the concessions con
tained in the decree oi December 11, 1801, that
tbe extraordinary powers just granted were to
be exercised with a view of preserving the inde
pendence and integrity of the nation tl territory,
the form of government established by the Con
stitution and laws of reform. Moreover, the
law ot Ortober 27, 1862, Imposed a positive re
striction upon the Executive forbidding him to
violate anv of the provisions contained in title
IV of the Constitution, which he has done.
Fourth. Because the aforesaid decrees seri
ously compromise the independence of the
nation, robbing lis defenders lr jm their legiti
mate Government, which alone can serve as a
rallying point, and aulstituting to It an illegal
usurpation, witn no more force in authority
than that of the unconstitutional decrees now
Usued.
Fifth. Because the lone of the. decree i an
insult to tbe Mexican people, hghting for princi
ple under the constitutional banner; because,
alo, it can be interred lrom the text that the
blood licd by thousands ot patriots and martyrs
had been shed lor Benito Juarez's sake, aud tli it
without him tbe cue of Mexico would be
hopeis6.
Sixth. Because the sentiments set forth in
these decrees are not only founded upon sophis
try, but are downright calumnies, affecting me
as an individual, and in my character of public
officer.
t, The obligations of the solemn oath, assumed
by me as Constitutional President ot the Su
preme Court of Justice, in accordance with the
letter and spirit of the Constitution, have baeu
so far observed by tne tu'thtully, and with a
regard tor popular rights secured bv that instru
ment; and 1 maintain that the nation, when in
full possession of Us tight, must bold all public
functionaries to the strictest account.

American Cnpllvea In Mexico History
of tl Jonr derate Colonists.
From the New Orleans Picayune, June 14.
We learn trom Captain Cole, of Tennessee,
who lelt Cordova on the first of June, that the
recent captures of Confederate colonists were
made on the old haciendas of Omialca and
Tolique, about thirty miles from Cordova. They
formerly belonged to the Church, and under
the recent law "nationalizing dead property,"
were confiscated to the State; and such Maxi
milian found tbem, and designated them as
lands whereon the Confederate exiles might
settle.
Tbe captures were made on Tueslav morninc,
the 15th of May, at daybreak. The following are
the names of the captives:
Captain J. C. Scott, Louisiana; A. J. Marshall,
Louisiana; N. W. Lester, Louisiana; J. II.
Scott, Louisiana; R. J. H. Bogen, Hinds county,
Mississippi; R. Russell, Mississippi; Judge
Snead, Texas; Costar, Snertd's son-in law, Texas;
J. and William Foster, Texas; W. H. Dyer,
Texas; William Elmer, Virginia; two Levys,
Missouri, nephews of General Price; R. H. An
derson, Alabama; J. H. Wright, Georgia; A. B.
Hamilton. Tennessee; Capt. Bland, Missouri;
Mr. Gibbs, Texas.
The three last named were released at once.
on account of their lanillies with them on tbe
haciendas. They were compelled to leave and
give parole not to return so long as a military
post was established there. They were, how
ever, allowed mules to carry off their household
effects.
The Omialca Plantation is situated on the Rio
Blanco, thirty miles trom Cordova. It contains
ten thousand acres of land. The Tolique Plan
tation contains eleven thousand acres. Both are
old coffee plantations, and belonged to the
Church formerly, and were confiscated und"r the
recent law. The Government therefore asahrned
them to the Confederate colonists, who were
rapidly fettling on them. Both plantations
have six hundred coffee trees to the acre, and
each tree will yield two to three pounds of coffee.
This year's croD is excellent. Rosewood and
mahogany are also abundant on the two planta
tions.
The R!o Blanco is navigable from El Dorado,
on the Gull, up to the plantation of Omialca.
by vessels ot considerable draft. General
xorke has a valuable cotton and sugar Dlanta
tiou lower down the valley, and will raise a
large crop this year. It was contemplated this
year to put a steamer on the Rio Blanco, under
command oi tjaptain scott, tormerly or the
B. I. Uodae,a the Red river trade. General
Hind id an, of Arkansas, Judge Randolph, of
lexas, ana captain scott, were about putting
up a saw mill near the ruins ol Omialca. Cedar,
mahoganv. and rosewood are the most valuable
timber, and mahogany and rosewood are lound
in abundance near Omialca, Cedar is not lound
in abuiidansd till you go higher uu.
On the 20th ot May, Captain Cole, of Tennessee,
visited the Liberal camp under a Hag of truce,
to inquire of tbe prisoners. He wag received
very courteously, and teld that it was a military
district, and tniit the Americans could not re
tain the land. They said that Maximilian had
no right lo give awav the land; that it belonged
to the Liberal!, and that they were willing to
distribute it among sympathizing Americans.
They were well mounted, and soou after went
into the interior, leaving a small garrison at
Omialca. The prisoners were to be' taken to a
strong place in the interior, and when Captain
Cole arrived to inquire about tbem, they were
already thirty leagues awav. Tbe officer in
command told Captain Cole that he thought the
old men would be released, but that youug men
would be put In the Liberal army.
Carlotta, where General Price is settled, is
distant twenty miles from the old hacienda of
Omialca, and no tear was there entertained of
similar raiding party. Governor Harris, of Ten
nessee, and ffmily; General Price, ot Missouri,
and tamil ; Colonel Brown, of Kentuckv; Cip-
tain rric. oi Missouri; uaptain Cage, Colonel
More, of Missouri in all about twenty are at
Carlotta. It is now only a mango grove, and
General Price and Harris are budding the first
and only house to be seen there.
John Perkins, of Louisiana, Land Commis
sioner at Cordova, was relieved ot his office May
1, and la now planting on the River Zapota.

ot the general health of the city. The death
rate was remarkably low, and comprised 84 men,
6H women, 113 boys, and 98 girls 363 in all. Of
these, 2 fl.ed of smallpox, 3 ot measles, 18 of

THE LESSONS OF TUB DEATH RE0ORP.
The Mortuary Records for New York and
Brooklyn during tbe past week exhibit unusnal
evidences of genrrnl health in these clMes.
Only 363 persons died In New York, and of these
there were 71 ia Hospitals and public institu
tions. Tbe total mortality in lirooklyn was 101,
which would be equivalent to but 177 to the
1000 Inhabitants annually. The annual equiva
lent for New York was 25'!i. but by excludiug
the list of deaths in public institutions, as Brook
lyn necessarily does so far as the Kings county
institutions are concerned, the mortality in our
city l89t week fell below a death rate of 21 in
1000 annually.
This statement Is male for the purpose of
comparing it wiMi previous records and with the
latest reports from other cities. The last week's
mortality was less than that ot tbe previous
week by 30, aud lccs tbau our nit? nest report in
April by 109. Compared wi'h the records ot tbe
past three years, the decrease is 47, 87, and 43
respectively.
During the last week in May this year London
had a mortality ot 26 in 1000 (annual death rate) ;
Edinburgh, 27; Liverpool, 40; Sheffield, 37:
Glasgow, 29; and in Vienna, during the third
week in May, the rate was 37 in 1000 inhabitants.
The consolidated report gives ample proot fiat
no epidemic is prevailing. Scarlatiua caued 13
deaths, and typhus tever 13, of which two were
in the Fourth, and 2 in the Sixteenth Ward, the
remaining 11 being in tbe tever hospitals on
Ward's aud Black well's Islands. Dally returns
will hereatter be made Irnm these institutions of
all tever patients received from the city, touether
with the street and house in which they sickened
and from which they were sent to the hospital.
The same kind of inlormation concerning small
pox will also be given daily. The local history
ol diarrheal diseases throughout the city is being
traced in like manner, by means of daily returns
irom tbe Dispensaries.
During the past week th-re was an increase ot
deaths irom zymotic diseases the increase being
eighteen in diarrheal maladies alone. The con
ditions under wbich this increase occurs have
elicited some attention, and with the exception
nf six cases registered as cholera, the thirty-six
deaths in this list of diseases are clearly attri
butable to local exciting causes. They do not
ptove tbat there Is any epidemic cause of
cnolera generally diffused in the city. The cases
thus far occur singly.
The atmospheric conditions that prevailed
during the week were remarkable. Excessive
humidity a mean of83$, saturation beinst 100
continued tor two successive days, aud coex
isted with an average temperature ot 70 degrees.
Tbe mortality of tnfauts increase 1 but slightly.
In Done of the wards was there any noticenble

"There are no Indications of a bcavv shipment o f
rpr cio tbis week, aud the probability is that the drain
will be frreativ diminished liunoeforward, even in the
event ot war havius already broken out in Uermanv.
For it will be remembered tbat at ibe date oi our
latest advices, although war was considers Immi
nent, there was a tendency toward improvement
manifested on the London Stock Exchange, while
the peDorai opinion was tbat tbe actual cammeaee
mrnt of hostilities would produce a sense ot re let
br terminating the prevailing susp'-nse. Wold, too,
would soon bea-in to find Ita way out of the boll i (re
lent countries for sale Investment In France and
Enjrland, and it ia reasonable to suopose in the
Unfed States also, the outbreak of war and tho
return of monetary ease in Urtai Britain would thus
be simultaneous, however much otbnr interests
mielit bo affected, and with war ia Uermanv, ln
oou would be likely to become a great .peculative
market for our securities "

The New York limes this morning says:
"The following pas?ae occurs in a letter of a
Geiman friend (a merchant ot long experience),
dated Bremen,'. June 2, per Uansa. It strikingly
illustrates the view taken thero in well-mtorined
derman quarters that a Continental war would lead
to a hoarding ot United States gold-bearing bond,
iu preierence to th old-fashioned hoarding of gold
in lonls d'ors and ducats, wbich any regimental
commander mleht press from tne holders by forced
loans or requiitioni. A thousand ducats oan be
divided up to pay a regiment of a thousand men,
but a thousand dollar bond cannot bo used in tbat
wav, and besides, It can be more easily secreted.
1 herelore, look for a hoarding ol Five-twenty bonds
bv tbe landowners and peasantry of the Continent,
and tor a strong investment demand by the unlor
tunate Englishmen who have saved something out
of the wreck ot tbe numerous burnt-up 'Limited
Corporations.' But to tne parage. It is as fol
'ow :
" 'A great Investment d'mandfor Five twenties Is
now setting in Irom the peasantry and that elass ot
neople, especially since the war looks inevitable.
1 hey consider the stock, and probab y justly so, the
rarest thing to hold in suoa a crisis. "
