Thus the Mexican broth ia cooking. On the
opposite side of the Atlantio we find Austria,
France, England, aud Spain throwing all their
Influence Into the Government of the United
States to urge us on to Mexico. Mr. Sumner,
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
appears to be entirely in the hands of the for
eign ministers, who evidently think that great
diplomatic games are best played at good
dinners. ifcauregara and bis circle In New
Orleans, finding the national banks have no
more feathers to pluck, are bent on taking
possession of Northern Mexioo, while another
ring in the same oity have interests that are
seriously jeopardized upon the arrival of the
Liberal Government In the City of Mexioo
providing Mr. Otterbourg, so kindly detailed
lor the dirty work of saving his own and
others' interests In Mexican jobs, does not
protect them by some process similar to that
by which he became the agent of the empire
in Washington last fall.
Congress, it is quite certain, will take up
this Mexican problem so soon as they have
disposed ot the Reconstruction business. They
are little inclined to see Mr. Johnson make
Mexico his banner cry, and thereby turn atten
tion from the Reconstruction act. Therefore,
of all the great topics Mexico scarcely stands
second, and, from the gathering influences
brought to bear npon the Administration, is
daily taking larger proportions. We now see
the effects of Mr. Seward's Mexican policy.
Every act of his, with reference to that country,
has been the prelude of one still more stupid.
Instead of a manly, open course, such as be
comes a great nation, he has wavered in his
imbecility nntil, entirely in the hands of
concession jobbers, he lets them foist npon
Mexico an imperial Austrian Jew as Minister,
who in no sense represents the United States,
but rather a certain circle which desires to
throw into Mexico as many elements of discord
as can be found. Then they may raise the
cry, Lo, Mexico cannot govern herself I Know
ing that the present Government will not
dispose of territory under any circumstances;
they now demand Ortega, who, thoroughly
unprincipled, would for a small figure move
into Yucatan, and sell the balance of the
Mexican States; henoe we may see this move
strongly agitated from the line of the Rio
Grande. It would, however, result in the
shooting of Ortega, now a prisoner at Monte
rey. The great feature of this Mexican news
is that almost the entire Rebel element in the
South, through the press and through their
old army leaders, are urging an invasion of our
neighbor's territory as the great cure for all
their political ills. Northern Democrats also
are pouring in their petitions to the Adminis
tration to make Mexico the party cry, with the
hope that the people will rally around it, as
they did in the war of 1847. Their point
gained, they hope that in the excitement of the
contest they may ride into power, and then
shape reconstruction as may best please them.
This appears to be their latest and most bril
liant idea, and there are many powerful aoces
aories to aid them. The policy of Franoe ia
doubtless to have us take possession of Mexico
and recognize the immense war debt that she
rolled up there. They care less for Maxi
milian than they do for the payment of the
imperial bonds of the empire which flood the
French market, and which are worthless so
long as the Mexican republio exists intact.
The Cabinet are not fully agreed as yet on an
Aggressive policy. Mr. Stanton, a warm friend
of the republio and the Liberal party, is the
glorious minority; and to carry out their plans
the plotters must have a new War Seoretary.
General Grant, too, stands boldly in the way,
and the greater part of Congress, also deter
mined to give Mexico a chance to govern her
self, will make a sturdy fight before they per
mit her overturning aud the conquest of her
territory.
The proper course to pursue towards our
sister republio is what we have always advo
cated: give her an opportunity to see if she
can reduce her revolutionary elements to quiet.
At present we have quite enough ou hand to
demand all our statesmanship. Were we to
enter into this mad Mexican scheme with the
sole plea of avenging the death of a royal fili
buster, it would be the strangest one upon
which a republio ever made war, and would do
more to damage republican and liberal senti
ments all over the world than we could repair
by a century of our moBt progressive labors.
Mexico has won her great halt century battle
againBt the Church power. She has fought
out her religious war as we fought out ours in
Europe, and she has overthrown by the vigor
of her nationality the European attempt to
restore the element of turmoil that lay at the
root of every revolution that Mexico has yet
Been. Were the United States now to step in
and take up the cudgel in favor of obsolete
ideas, of a retrograde party, ana 01 monarcni
cal Europe, it would be an aot at which all the
liberal sentiment of the age might look on and
shudder.

General II. D. Washburne, of Indianai
wishes the Ilouse of Representatives to resolve
that all property should bear its share of the
publio burdens; henoe, that the right to tax
Government bonds should be reserved in any
future funding of our publio debt.
Let us consider this as a practical propoai-
The Government recently needed very large
sums of money hundreds of millions per
annum more than it know how to raise except
by borrowing. In order to borrow twenty
five hundred millions of dollars in three years,
it was obliged to offer liberal inducements to
lenders. &iug at war for iU existence, there

General Washburne does not propose Ibis;
yet his proposition will give aid and comfort
to those who do. Ills assertion that money
ought not to be borrowed as it was borrowed
by our Government during the war, will be
paraded by them to oountenanoe if not to
justify their demand that an important element
of the bargain shall be repudiated by the
borrower.

the people, the Treasury, and Congress will
ponder well before giving any countenance to
his project.
Let us say explicitly that we hold no
dollar of Government bonds, and expect to
hold none. When lending to the Government
was an imperative duty we invested all we
could in those bonds; but since peace re
turned all those have been sold, and the pro
ceeds put to other uses. We will not be even
plausibly charged with a regard ;to our perso

Tennessee Not
From the Timet.
Model of Reconstructed
State.
Some of our contemporaries have extolled
Tennessee as a pattern to be admired and imi
tated by the people of States engaged in the
work of reconstruction. "If the States now
excluded," it ia said, "will follow Tennessee
in disfranchising Rebels, and make their re
spective Brownlows the administrators of their
affairs and their representatives in Congress,
there need be no misgiving as to the prompt
recognition of the work performed."
Now, we can conceive of no greater cala
mity than the multiplication of Tennessees as
members of the American Union. Of the
whole South, Tennessee is beyond doubt the
part in which the least has been done towards
genuine reconstruction. It is nominally loyal,
of course. It is represented in Congress.
It is not included in the region over whioh
the provisions of the military government
acts extend. And yet what is its condition f
Essentially volcanic. Loyal strength is the
result not of loyal votes, but of Rebel disfran
chisement. Brownlow's authority is contin
gent upon the application of the orushing pro
cess to the majority of the people. He is
as absolute in his sphere as any of the mili
tary commanders in theirs, and infinitely
more unscrupulous. He makes laws to suit
his purposes. He interprets laws acoording
to the dictates of his convenience. He tightens
the disfranchising screw as often as he finds
it necessary, and employs the bayonet when
no less pungent weapon will carry his point.
The result is that the State he governs ap
proaches nearer and nearer to anarchy. No
where on the continent, save in hapless
Mexico, is life or property less secure, or
liberty a more transparent mookery. A con
dition of civil war really exists all the time
emothered it may be, but liable at any moment
to burst forth under the excitement of some
sudden difficulty.
No other state of things is possible so long
as the Urownlow doctrine of reconstruction is
allowed to prevail. For a period, perhaps, it
had its uses. While the Rebellion lasted, any
less rigorous rule might have failed to keep iu
check the hostile elements with which the
Border States abounded; but there is no
pietext for perpetuating in peace the iron-
handed administration which was indispen
sable amidst the turmoil of war. The country
requires the allegiance of all its citizens, but
this is possible only when the powers that be
cease to heap penalties upon whole classes, and
to persecute as outlaws all who refuse to pro
nounce their party Shibboleth. Brownlow
proceeds on the notion that it is neoessary,
day after day, to pile coals of lire upon the
heads of the great majority of the people,
simply because they decry his acts and seek to
thwart Lis ambition. A statesman similarly
situated would acknowledge mutual recon
ciliation as the stepping-stone to reconstruc
tion; he would see that the loyalty of a State
can have no efficient guarantee except the
attachment of the people; and he would aVoid
the fatal blunder of supposing that the eleva
tion of his nominees to power is a test of the
fitness of the people for the possession of the
franchise. In a word, a wise ruler, occupying
Brownlow's position, within the period which
has elapsed since the close of the Rebellion,
would have restored Tennessee to peace, and
placed it far on the road to prosperity. Brown
ii' ?n 00ntrary, by pursuing a course of
which almost fiendish malignity is the chief
characteristic, has alienated class from class,
driven moderate Unionists into alliance with un
repentant Rebels, and forced his State, rich in
natural resources, to a condition of despera
tion, almost of despair.
We are glad to see that the exhaltation of
of Tennessee as a model State is deprecated
by influential Radical Journals. Missouri has
tried the prosciiptive policy thoroughly, and
the St. Louis Democrat i8 not disposed to re
commend its adoption. "Tennessee," that
print remarks, "is not a particularly good
pattern for other States. It is not absolutely
certain," the Democrat adds, "that the
methods adopted by the loyal men there may
not fail to seoure their safety." Tua proba
bilities point in the other direction. There
can be no permanent safety in methods which
imply the continued parade of the conqueror's
authority.
Contracted with the Tennessee system, the
recotmtru' Hon policy of Congress U merciful
and Just. rUeta itlo, indeed, and Wpotic for
a time, but it opens the doors to a milder
authority, and tollers inducements to the ac
ceptance of conditions by which the Sonth
may materially improve its position.' The
guarantees It exacts imply no long-continued
l.umi iation, and no more radical changes
than those which follow logically from the late
COlifllct. . i ' ! . , ( .
Inetead of commending" Tennessee' as a
model to be imitated by the States", or to bo
respected in framing the policy of the Repub
lic, we submit that it Should be studied as au
illustration or the evils and dangers of a
; theory of reconstruction based npon narrow
, mindednees and hate. Congress holds in its
Lands the power of securing loyal organiza
tions throughout the South. For the rest,1
reliance must be placed upon the amended
spirit and will of the people, and those are
nioro likely to be affected by a generous for
bearance, as suggested by Sickles, than by
the intolerance and lawless violence which
have their official inoarnation in the irreverend
Brownlow.
Mnxlmlllan and Murat.
From the World.
The very trite aphorism that history repeats
itself is aptly demonstrated when the main
points in the career of theso celebrities are
taken into consideration, with a vievr of draw
ing a parallel. Maximilian certainly occupied
a more important position in the pages of his
tory than Murat, for the latter can hardly be
said to have ever reigned as an independent
potentate, being, as he was, the mere satrap
of Napoleon, his imperial master. Maximilian,
on the contrary, vindicated and maintained the
perfect independence of his empire, irrespec
tive of the French Emperor. Both attempted
to ameliorate the condition of their new sub
jects by encouraging agrioulture and industry,
improving the publio finances, and mainly by
their strenuous efforts to suppress brigandage
and civil strife in their respective dominions.
Both became the puppets of contending fac
tions, and both were deserted in their hour of
need by those who lured them on to their de
struction. . Caroline, the wile of Murat, was
compelled to fly from her husband some
months before his death, and the Empress
Carlotta was far away when Maximilian's en
dearing words to her fell on the ears of his
executioners.
Murat was as equally reluctant to abandon
the pomp of royalty as the Austrian Archduke,
as on the 8th of October, 1815, he attempted
to arouse the inhabitants of l'izzo in his be
half, but they abandoned him; being pursued
to the mountains, he fought to the last, but
finally fell into the hands of his pursuers, and
was taken amid insults to the Castle of Fizzo,
where he was summarily condemned to death
by a eourt-martial, and shot forthwith in one
of the rooms of the castle. Being offered a
chair, and a handkerchief to bandage his eyes,
he replied, "I have braved death long and
often enough to face it with my eyes open and
standing." Maximilian found his Fizzo at
Queretaro, where, betrayed and friendless, he
showed in his death as much of the heroism of
the devoted husband as Murat did of the dash
ing, brilliant, and fearless soldier.
The Future ut Hoyalty.
From the Nation,
The way in whioh the coronation of the King
of Hungary one of the most splendid and im
pressive of the ceremonies bequeathed to the
modern world by the Middle Ages has just
been received by the "European public; the
half-astonished, half-amused air with which
the press of all countries has described it, sug
gest some interesting considerations with re
gard to the changes which the political as well
as industrial movements of the day are work
ing in the prospects of royalty. It has been
plain for more than half a century that the
permanence and prosperity of kings in Europe
depended very much on the success of consti
tutional monarchy. But it ia now frnrtrnv
conceded that constitutional monarchy is not
a success. The only country in which it is be
lieved to have succeeded is England, but even
there its success has been more apparent than
real. Since its establishment there lias been
only one monarch of fair ability William III,
and he, and Anne, and , the first two Georges,
owed the seourity of their thrones not to the
fact that they were constitutional monarchs,
but that they kept out the Stuarts. George
III was a constitutional monarch only in
name; George IV reigned by virtue of his
father's prestige; so that it may be said that
it is only in the case of William IV and Vic
toria that the experiment has been fairly
tried; and the acutest observers conoede that
Victoria is one of the last full-blown monarchs
England will employ. In the countries which
have been tempted by English example into
trying it, it has either failed or shown every
sign of failing.
All monarchies in the civilized world rest
either on the feeling of loyalty or on force.
Loyalty is unquestionably a form of supersti
tion which the spread of knowledge and the
growth of wealth are killing. The king, as he
has come down to us from the Middle Ages, is
"the Lord's anointed" one of a family chosen
by God for the work of governing men. His
impulses are all noble; he is incapable of mean
ness, or baseness, or falsehood; aud he is
blessed with a wisdom far beyond that of other
men. He needs counsellors, not because he
needs advice, but because he needs U be sup
plied with facts. Give him the facts, and such
is his power of reasoning that he is sure to
reach right conclusions. And not only has he
been chosen by God for the work of govern
ment, but it is very kind aud considerate of
him to do it. Nothing must be exacted of
him; the word duty, as indicating obligation
of any kind towards his fellow-men, is not to
be used with regard to him. Consequently,
when he discharges any of the functions
of his office, or holds even ordinary
intercourse with those around him, he is
said to have "deigned" to do this, to have
been Vgraciously pleased" to do that. Court
etiquette is, in fact, simply the expression of
the mediieval feeling of the monarch's quality.
It is a mistake to suppose it was deliberately
originated for the sake of show or of imposing
on the vulgar. It expressed the monarch's
own sense, and that of those around him, of
the relations in which he stood to the rest of
the world, of the immense gulf which sepa
rated him from his fellow-beings. Nobody
was allowed to ask him a question, or to start
a conversation witli him, or to turn his back
on him, or sit down or wear a hat iu his
presence. Let him be never so stupid, vicious,
depraved, cowardly, and selfish, never so
plain, in person or diseased in blood or
feeble in intellect, he was treated aa a
superior being; and for ages the most
intelligent and enlightened portion of the
population of every European country
was taught, and firmly believed, that a man
was never so well employed as when devoting
all his faculties to the Bervlce of the king not
simply of the king and country, but of the
kins; personally; ihe kinR with the ivountrn if
possible, but the king anyhow. The treat

Now, as long as the tradition of the "dKn.,
