FRESH TR1BULA TION FOR MEXICO.
Fbom or itr republio, m w ra bo ; given
to culling her, oome ftdrioei of the same old
And chronic tenor. Mr. Seward is still per
ambulating lb country, and being made the
recipient of the highest honors, both by the
authorities and the masses of the people.
Towards the close of .Deoember, he visited
(he rains of the sacred city of the Aztecs,
Ohohila; and, being received with great state

im tVo course of which we stumble on the fol
lowing passage t

lection; that she Is capable of Indepsndonce and

that to her case, as la all others, those who would
oiijoy her friendship must offer her, on their part, a
' liienrtBhlp which, though It may not be benevolent
Miiht at least be sincere and dlHlntercsted."
Those words certainly embody the hopes, if
not the failh of the American people. The
oouTse Adopted by our Government towards
. Mexico during the attempt of Lous Napoleon
to net tip an empire on the ruins of the re
public, was one of entire candor and perfect
good will, and Mr. Seward, whatever may
have been his shortcomings in other respects,
it! entitled to to the gratitude of the people of
both countries for the ability and statesman
ship whtoh characterized his foreign policy on
this coin. If a man of less caution and
more bravado had been at the head of the
Department of State during these days of
peril to both the republics, the United States
Might have beoome involved in a war with
Trance which would have been fraught with
even more danger to Mexico than to us. Bat
hj a firm, cautious, and consistent policy,
IVr, Seward avoided a rupture with the Em
poror of the French, and at the same time
aucoeeded; in convincing that potentate that
the. best thing he could do was to lift his
bands from the throat of the struggling
Kpq1Jky as soon as he could do so without
: incensing his own people beyond the degree
of. forbearance. ,
. Fot it must be insisted upon that the grand
ovation whioh the Mexican people have ten
dored the Minister of State who rendered
them such signal service, has tended to exaot
from him a compliment not altogether de
served, in the light of their past history and
present condition. 'That "Mexico neither
noeds nor desires foreign protection," all
Americans will admit, especially when that
foreign protection assumes the character
which distinguished Louis Napoleon's kindly
offices. That nhe is gratified for such moral
AHwiatance as the United States could consist
ently and safely bestow, and would not have
turned her back upon more material aid, her
ruoejlion of Mr, Seward amply testifies; and
that she will never in the future need our
practical protection, the defeat of the Maxi
milian scheme does not render quite certain.
In the spirit which pervades the people of
both countries, such protection is not regarded
as foreign, but as entirely consistent with the
' absolute independence of Mexioo and the en
tire disinterestedness of the United States,
as far,, at least, as any designs upon the terri
tory of the former country are conoerned.
But when it comes to Mr. Seward's next
assertion, that Mexico "is capable of inie
peudence and aolf-government," a fear th it
the ox-Secretary has striven hard to be com
plimentary must be expressed. Never since
the overthrow of Maximilian has the country
been in a more deplorable and perilous con
dition than it now is. The insurrection in
the mountains of Fuebla is represented by
trustworthy and friendly correspondents as
being of It very serious charaoter, and the
effort to suppress it demands the attention of
an entire division of the Federal troop?, to
gether with the State forces of Fuebla and
Tlasoala. With this trouble still on his
hands, President Juarez was recently dis
turbed by ajserious irregularity of the people
of San Luis Potosi, who, in combination with
the National Guard, took possession of the
capital, Governor, and entire Legislature of
, the State, and demanded forthwith that the
central government should order a new eleo
' tk, on the ground that the recent elections by
.wqhm the obnoxious officials were plaoed in
power had been conducted unfairly, while
lue.se events were transpiring, the federal
, troops in San Luis held aloof, their sym
palhios being evidently enlisted on
the aide of the insurrectionists: and when
they were finally ordered by Juarez to sup
press the revolt and reinstate the deposed
government, they openly joined hands with
the people And the National Guard. The
actuation Is therefore one involving even more
than asual peril, and the fear is expressed
that the Federal Government, with Ike limited
force at its command, will be unable to carry
' its point. To still further complicate matters,
the Governor of the State of Zacatecas, who
belongs to the Liberal opposition, is looked
upon with suspicion. Ile has at his com
mand a large military force and a full supply
of warlike material, and if the fear that he
way join the revolt should be realized, it is
predioted that the fate of tne J uarez govern
ment will be eventually sealed.
To rescue Mexioo from the anarchy which
has so long impeded her career, and which
dtill threatens the entire subversion of repub
bean institutions on her soil, by the establish-.-
incut of and general acquiescence in a dicta
torship, if not an empire concooted and sup
T11K UA1LT EVENING TKLKORAPll PHILADELPHIA, MOXDA?,
ported by European powers, it will evlden'ly
be necossary fot the United States to step in
and with a strong hand bring her people to
their senses at la t. An Amerioan protecto
rate has long been talked abomt, and the pre
sent unhappy state of affairs would seem to
point to it as the only possible salvation of
our so-called sister republie. . President
Juarez deserves a better fate than the one
which appears to be impending, but the tern,
per of the people he has striven so nobly and
patriotically to keep in subjection renders
him or any other native Mexican unequal to
the task. Among the possibilities of the fu
ture, we should, therefore, not neglect to con
template a protectorate over Mexioo. ;
A SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Ths resignation of his seat in the Senate 1 y
the Hon. James W. Grimes has given rise to
an animated contest in Iowa over the succes
sion, but the struggle is at last at an end,
and its results have given another illustration
of the inherent evils of our political system.
The one man in Iowa who, above all others,
has a claim to statesm .nship and was deserv
ing of the honor and equal to the responsi
bilities of the position, the Dion. James F.
Wilson, late a member of the House of Re
presentatives, was defeated in the Republican
caucus of the members of the Legislature.
This was a bad beginning. Mr. Wilson's long
residence in Washington eminently qualified
him for taking an influential stand in the
Senate, where his experience would have been
of great benefit to his State, as well as to the
country. But he was too high-minded to
seek the office in the prevailing style, and it
was perhaps in consequence of his refusal
to resort to the ordinary electioneering tricks
that his defeat is to be solely attributed. The
fact that he positively and repeatedly refused
to accept a position in President Grant's
Cabinet, because of his inability to support
the dignity of such a high offioial position
upon the meagre salary allowed, showed the
temper of the man, and his defeat for the
Senatorship under the present circumstances
is even a stronger tribute to his manliness
and fitness for public life.
But the Iowan legislators have not been
content to turn their backs upon a man who
refused to seek the offioe within their gift;
they have parcelled out the Senatorial honors
as evenly as possible, seleoting Mr. J. B.
Howell for the remainder of Mr. Grimes'
term, which expires on March 4, 171, and
Judge George G. Wright for the full term of
six years commencing with that date. Mr.
Howoll has doubtless done the party some ser
vice, and his services were deemed to be de
serving of a significant recognition, he being
the editor of a journal whioh boasts of the
significant Western title of the Keokuk 0"tt
City. But by the time he gets fairly under
way, and begins to appreciate at its full value
the glory of a Senatorial existence, his career
will be cut short, and Judge Wright, another
new and undisciplined hand, will enter the
arena. ' The latter is said to be a brother of
the late Governor Wright, of Indiana, and
was defeated as a candidate for Congressional
honors as long ago as 18"0. Since that date,
however, he has served upon the bench of the
Supreme Court, and when he finally makes
his advent in the Senate, may possibly add
something to the dignity and importance of
that body. But if he. does not come up to
the standard of "Old Grimes, and go some
thing beyond it, he certainly will not amount
to much.
A SEVEN PER CENT. RATE OF
INTEREST.
A bill has been introduced in the State Leg
islature fixing the legal rate of interest in the
absence of speoifio contraots at seven per
cent., and we trust it will meet with a better
fate than the measures of a similar character
which have been introduced in former years.
While the adjacent States of New York and
New Jersey continue to adhere to seven per
cent., the financial and oommerolal interests
of Philadelphia must suffer deeply from per
sistence in a six per cent, rate here, and
money must forever remain comparatively
scarce. We not only repel millions of foreign
capital which would otherwise seek invest
ment in our Commonwealth, but invite the
transfer of immense sums belonging to our
own citizens to more liberal portions
of the Union. The insurinoe companies,
alone, would make investments amounting in
the aggregate to a very large sum in this city,
if they did not thereby inour a positive loss.
When the demand for money is so limited as
to make it worth less than seven per cent, it
speedily falls to its true level, and ths current
rate of interest paid at suoh periods in New
York does not exceed the rate prevailing here,
so that, in the long run, the borrowers, as a
class, pay but little or no more for aooouiruo-
dations there than here. On the other hand
our suicidal policy, by discouraging the con
centration of capital, tends to produoe an un
natural scarcity even in times of the greatest
abundance, and many useful enterprises lan
guish forwent of proper financial support
whioh would be plaoed on a permanent and
prosperous footing by the" legalization of
seven per cent, rate of interest. We need
more capital badly, and the simple change in
the law which has been suggested would
exert a potent influence in enabling our citi
zens to obtain it.
The Arkansas journals claim that a mul
berry tree wmon is a native of ana grows

adapted to the nourishment of silkworms, and
as a proof of what can be done in a practioal
way Che of the young ladies of Arkansas, with
the aid of the simplest machinery, manufac
tured seven pounds of silk, which was ex
hibited at the State Fair and attraoted much
attention. The capacity of many portions of
the South for silk culture has long been well
known, end the suocess of that branch of in

of soil or climate. Eventually the home pro

' ' j LA NDTS IN LIMBO.
Thepe is not a decent man or woman in the
community that does not rejoice at the con
viotion of S. M. Laudis on the charge of cir
culating indecent publications. For years the
course of this man has been a scandal to
Philadelphia, and it almost seemed as if the
law had no power to place any check upon his
vile practloes. His so-called medioal lectures
and sermons have imposed upon a few weak
minded persons, principally women, but, for
the most part, they were patronized by a class
of people who had a natural taste for filth
equal to Landis himself. The amount of in
jury to the morals of sooiety that his fellow has
done by his blasphemous discourses, (n which
he attempted to give his vileness the cloak
of religion, can toarcely be estimated, but it
is as nothing to the evil influences exerted
by hia publications, which have been thrust
under the doors ef respectable eitizens and
into the hands of the yonth of both sexes for
years past, in the utter defiance of law and
publio opinion. The law, however, has at
length laid its hand ' upon Landis, and
although he is now out on bail awaiting the
decision of the court on a motion for a new
trial, and was permitted yesterday to dis
course as usual at his hall, we sincerely hope
that his career has come to a close, and that
he will now receive his just deserts. His
case is one that calls for the severest
penalties that the law allows, not
only as a punishment for past of
fenses, but as an example to others who
may be inclined to follow in his footsteps.
There is very little probability that a new
trial will be allowed, and the J udge should
not only impose a fine, but should sentence
him to prison for the full term permitted by
the law. The payment of fine wid
be no punishment at aU, and the whole
trial will be made use of as an advertise
ment. S. M. Landis, M. D. (?), will
not receive his deserts until he is locked
up where he can do no more harm; and in
disposed as we are usually to interfere in any
way with the course of justice, we feel it a
duty we owe to the publio to urge in this
case that the severest penalties may be im
posed. District Attorney Gibbons and Mayor
Fox both deserve the thanks of the citizens
of Philadelphia for the energy which they
have shown in the prosecution of Landis, and
it now remains for the Court to finish in an
appropriate manner the work they commenced
so well.
THE EXTRADITION QUESTION. .
The Canadian papers take a very sensible
view of the Caldwell extradition case, basing
their position, however, rather on the ground
that the Dominion is in danger of- becoming
the "sanctuary of frauds and felons, than on
that of good will and good faith towards the
United States. : Caldwell fled from New York
to Canada, when accused of forgery in the
former State, and having been arrested, his
extradition was demanded. But his counsel
contrived to get up some very nice distinc
tions on the difference between forgery in
Canada and forgery in New York, and the
Montreal judge was so muddled thereby that
the prisoner was discharged. Then a resort
was had to a very sharp trick, whioh showed
that Montreal is almost as far advanced as
New York in the refinements of the art of
thwarting justice and defying law. Caldwell
was suffered to leave the court-room in
peace: but when the agents of this Gov
ernment, prepared with a new warrant
for his arrest,' started in pursuit of
the fugitive, they found the doors
barricaded, and before they could make their
exit from the Canadian temple of justice, the
fugitive had obtained such a start that up to
this time he has successfully eluded his pur
suers. It is not very creditable to Canadian
law that the alleged culprit should be suffered
to go at liberty, and it is still loss creditable
that he should be saved from pursuit by such
an unseemly dodge as the one resorted to,
Such proceedings do not tend te help the
cause of reciprocity much, a fact of whioh
the leading journals of the Dominion appear
cognizant; but by hindering the renewal of
reciprocity, they indireotly forward the cause
of annexation, as the administrators of Mon
treal justice and other superlatively loyal
people will eventually discover,
: LOPEZ.
Lateb advices confirm the report that the
Paraguayan war is at last at an end, and
state that Lopez is wandering through the
forests of Brazil, at the head of a few follow
ers only. It was to be hoped that the bulge t
of news by the same arrival at Lisbon, "from
Paraguayan sources," would confirm this story,
and enable us to believe for once that the
power of the Dictator is utterly broken,
but such was not destined to be the
case. Time and time we have been as.
sured of this, and as often we have been
obliged to submit to a flat contradiction, or
at least to a material qualification. The
tyranny of this man Lopez has been so
odious, the farce of this so-called Republic of
Paraguay has been such a reproach 'to free
institutions, that it will be a relief to the
civilized world to know of a certainty that
both are at an end. If suoh should, indeed,
prove to be the case, there will be another
outcry, as there has frequently been in the
past, against the grasping policy of Brazil,
and another lamentation of the imminent
danger in whioh all the South American Re
publics are placed by the suocess of the allies
on the Parana. But with the exceptions of
the Argentine Confederation and Chili, these
so-called republics are so completely given
over to anarchy that there can be no hope for
them, save through the instrumentality of
stable government, and if Dom Pedro should
chance to absorb a half-dozen of them in the
next ten years, the future of South (America
would be materially brightened , by this
"blow" at republican institutions, j

Rkmimbkb Lot's Wive! Mrs.. Stowe has
remembered a great many things which it
would have been better for her to forgot,
and, what la still worse, has Insisted upon
telling the world everything that she remem
bers. But she has not remembered the sorip
tural injunction to "Remember Lot's wife."
In her weak and puerile "vindication" of the
slander upon the memory of Lord Byron and
his sister, she refers, in indignant terms, to
an alleged autobiography of Byron published
in an English magazine in 182i, and asserts
that, if all feelings of honor, delicaoy, and hu
manity towards Lady Byron had not been
paralyzed, the editor of this periodical "would
have been overwhelmed with a storm of popu
lar indignation which, Wet the fire vpon,
Sodom, would hate left him a pillar of ealt
for a warning ' to all future generations."
Mrs. Stowe's lot has been cast a generation
later, and at a time when the feelings of
honor, delicacy, and humanity have not
besSi entirely paralyzed, so that she has
been compelled to bear the full brunt of
just such a storm of popular indignation as
she here invokes upon the head of another
scandal-monger long since dtf unot. All her
present tribulations came from her habit, as
shown in the linos above quoted of reading
her Bible upside down and backwards, after
the fashion in vogue with some Eastern
nations, instead of searching the Scriptures in
the manner practised by right-minded Chris
tians. Her knowledge of the misfortunes of
Sodom and the tribulations of Lot's wife is
almost as vague as her knowledge of the re
quirements of common decency.
The Governor of Louisiana has signed a
bill to punish gambling . in that State, and
though we can scaroely expect the new law to
be strict. enforoed immediately, the faot of
its passage affords a gratifying indication of
an improved tone of publio sentiment.
Blacklegs and the chivalrous devotees of the
vice which has hitherto been unchecked on
the river steamboats and in the saloons of
New Orleans, are rapidly declining in the
social scale, and the old roues will soon be
compelled to invent a new and more manly
way of picking pockets. j
