TH? MEXICAN QUESTION?WTTtmBAWAL OP THE

The Fron oh Minister had an intemow, with the
Seoretaryof State yo?terday. It ia said that ho
presented the formal adhesion of tho Frenoh Gov
ernment to the Amerioan principie of non-inter
vention as explained by the Sooretary of State.
Tho Emperor kindly and cordially replica to the
United otates, and engagea to withdraw his troopB
from Mexico in threo detaohments; one of them
next November, and tho othora in May And No yo ni

Sortant rcault will, it ia expected, bo sont to the
[onao of Representatives this week, in answor to
a call recently mado ou tho Department of-State,
on motion of Mr. MoKeo, of Kentucky.
NEUTBAUTT?TH? OIIILEAN AND FENIAN DIFFICITL
TIBS.
Tho Secretary of State in February last, writing
to tho late Daniel 8. Dickinson in relation to the
steamer Meteor, which was eeized and prevented
from being usoa as a Chilian privateer against
Spain, said: "The President is determined that
tho neutrality lawa of the United States shall bo
administered in good faith with entire fairness."
Tho principio thus announced will, there is no
doubt, be as strictly applied in preserving tho
Seace between Great Britain and tho United
totes should the Feniana seriously endanger it.
TBOTJBLES OF OFFIOE-SEEKEBfl.
The difhoultice of ofuco-aeekors, great enough
at heat, bave been seriously increased by the
antagonism between the President and tho Bonete
of tho United States, Heretofore the labor of pro
curing an appointment was considered formid
able, hat when once obtained the lucky individual
had no further anxieties of mind; hut nowadays
he has to perform the two-horse-act of playing
the conservative role to the ProBidont an?! tho
radical dodge to the Sonate. This looking ono
way and rowing another has already led to nomo
rich exposures, and several others are expected.
It cannot be profitably played much longer. Ap
plicants will soon have to define their positions
and face the muslo.
COIXEOTOB OF MOBILE.
The confirmation of Mr. Elmore as Collector for
the port of Mobile has not been refused by tho
Senate, as published ia oertain New York papers.
No action has yet been taken on the appointment
in exeoutive session. Lewis B. Paraone, Provision
al Governor of Alabama, is expeoted here in con
nection with this appointment, when Borne action
,wul probably Boon bo reached. . -. .
THE BADICAL CHIEFS AT VABIANOE. ,
MessrB. 8tevens and S?mner are at loggerheads
about a reconstruction polioy, Thad.: has 'juat
begun to understand that there'are'but'three
branches of tho. Government, two of them (the
exeoutive and the judicial) working together; and
he realizes that the time is at hand when the
legislative branch must give in. The Senator
holds out, while Thad. upbraids him b?oause he
has so little consideration for the life of the party.
THE CHOLEU.A IK NEW YOuk.
The epidemic at present prevailing among the
passengers of the steamer Virginia ia still on the
increase, and is daily commuting farther ravages
among tue unfortunate victims now on board of the
hospital ship, despite the excellent precautionary
measures adopted toprevent the further spread
ing of the disease. Twelve new oases haye.ooour
rra, whioh makes tho total number now in tho
hpspltal seventy-nine, and. there were five addi
tional deaths on board of tho Falcon, making fif
teen in all since the Virginia readied thie -port.
?There was no communication between the shoro
and the infVcted vessels yesterday until elate
hour in (lib' afternoon,,'when Dr. a win bur no, tho
Health Officer, procoedod'.in a tag to tho l':wer
hay. for th? purpose of Ascertaining how mattere
at the Lower Quarantine wore progressing. It
being vety. late when-'?ho tug returned, no inter
intelligence than .-what is stated abovo could be
obtained in regard (?either the Virginia, England.
or the hospital ship Falcon. Dnring the squall
oh Saturday afternoon.--the email eloop Four
Brothers, acting as tender to the hospital ship,
apd employed for removing the dead, conveying
the sick and carrying stores, was capsized in the
lower bay, but fortunately no lives were lost,
those on board taking to the email boat, thus
saving themselves by the merest'accident. The
tug which conveyed Dr. Swinburne to the Quaran
tine also towed down two email lighters, which
were employed yesterday evening in raising tbo
eloop, and it is expeoted that she will be again
placed upon duty this morning.
FAOTS BELATINO TO THE 8TEAMEE ENGLAND.
The steamer England, which arrived at this
port on Saturday morning from Liverpool via
Halifax, had fifty deaths among the passengers
dnring the passage, and while at Halifax one hun
dred and fifty mo: o occurred, which made a total
of two hundred. Dr. 8later, tho Health Officer of
Halifax, who in the faithful discharge of his du
ties proceeded on board of the England to alle
viate the distress of tho afilio ted, was stricken
down with the disease and died on the 6th inst.
While at Halifax one hundred of the siok were
removed from the England to sheds upon an ad
jacent island, and at the time of the steamer's de
parture for New York but sixty of these remained,
the other forty patienta having taken Frenoh
leave and decamped for parts unknown. All of
the passengers now on board the England are
looking remarkably well and are evidently well
oared for. The surgeons on hoard of the vessel
r?port the present number of passengers ae 16 in
tho oobln and 872 iu the ateerage. No now oases
have occurred for several days.
THE 1UDI0AI, COHBTHUCTION ?LA.?.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York World, under date of 22d says, in reference
to the plan of the Beconstrnotion Committee for
restoring the union:
It has been given out in confidential circles for
some days past, that the Radicals were maturing
a general plan of reconstruction of tho Southern
States. But fow wero initiated into tbo mysteries
of this Boheme. It appears that it onianntod
from Robert Dale Owen, who, it la said, submitted
it to the President. Yesterday the Roconstruotion
Committee met at an early hour, when the plan
was unfolded to the committee by Ihadde-UB Ste
vons. It is understood that tho committee agreed
toit. It is moro rndjcal than anything lhat has
heretoforo come from'that direction. It is in the
shape of a joint resolution to amond the Consti
tution, and profesaos to provide for the restora
tion to the Southern States of all their political
rights.
Article first of tho amendment says that there
shall bo no discrimination made by any State nor
by the United States as to the civil rights of per
aons booauso of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude. Seaond. That from and after the
fourth day of July, In the year 1876, no discrimi
nation shall he made by any State nor by the Uni
ted States SB to the enjoyment by classes of per
sons of tho right of suffrage because of race, er
color. Third. Until July 4, 18G7, no class of per
sons as to tbo right of any of whom suffrage discri
mination shall be made by any State, because ol
race cr oolor or previous condition of servitude,
shall bo included .in the basis of representation.
Fourth. Debts or obligations already incurred, or
which may. be hereafter incurred, iu aid of insur
rection or war ?gainst the Union, ?nd claims for
comoenaation for loss of tho sor rico of persone
hold to in voluntary servltadcor labor,! shall not be
paid by any State or by the United ututos. No
State shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge, the privileges | or immunities of .citi
zens of the United States. It ia tlion furth'ei
to bo provided by AmV'-of 'Congress that when

tho year 7.860, did take part in the late insurrec
tion, ehall bo eligi?lo to oither branch of the na
tional Legislature until after July 4,1876. Tho above
will probably be reported to tho House to-morrow.
The statement that this soborne is approved by
the President is without any foundation in fact.
It was submitted to him several days ago by Ro
bert Dalo Owen, but he gave no indicatio n, by
word or aotion, that he looked upon it with favor.
There is authority for stating that the President
not only disapproves of it, but regards it as a moat
dangerous and revolutionary aohemo against the
rights and privileges of tho 8tatOB. North and
South. It romains to be aeon whether Congress
can be made to accept it.

The Cholera Ship Virginia?Further Pur
tlcolnre.
The eteamehtp Virginia, now at th? New York
quarantine, with cholera on board, sailed from
Liverpool and Quonstown, with fourteen cabin and
twolve hundred and nine Bteerage passengers.
Beforring to the appearance of the cholera on the
steamer, the New York Times remarks :
There.is a theory that certain conditions of the
atmosph?re are conducive to cholera, and that
there are certain zones wherein the pestilence is
most rapidly generated. It is remarked, also, that
cholera was developed on board the Virginia in
tbe latitude where it first appeared onboard the
steamship England. The. faots aeem to be that
tbe steerage passengers of both vessels, huddled
together as a thousand persons must necessarily
be in a vessel of less than three thousand tons
burthen, were attacked when they had been long
enough together.to poison tue atmosphere of the
ship, and that isothermal lines and cholera zones
bad notbiog to do m the case.
The Virginia cast her moorings at Liverpool on
the 4th hint. At that time no case of cholera bad
been reported in Liverpool. None of the passen
gers?chiefly German immigrants?with whom
ehe sailed are known to have come from any dis
trict whero cholera has prevailed; nor had any of
the number been ill during their brief tarry of leas
than a week in Liverp :ol. The ship tonohed at
Queenatown, Ireland, and having there taken
aboard a number of paasengerB, made out to sea
?a ship of 2876 tons with more than a thousand
Immun being* stowed away in two tiers, or be
tween three decks.
No apprehension of cholera or any other] dis
ease was entertained until the ship bad been a
weok on the Atlantic; but then, on the 12th in.it., a
steerage passenger, who had been suddenly pros
tratedoy what was aupposod to be a violent form
of diarrbcea, died. There was diarrhoea, as tho
ship's surgeon supposed, everywhere In the Bteer
age, and even after the death of the first victim
the surgeon was unwilling to deolare it a case of
cholera. But two moro sudden deaths on the 12th
and others on the 13th convinced the skeptic that
the steerage of the steamship was really suffering
under a visitation of Aeiatio cholera.
From the 12tb until the arrival or the Virginia
in port on the 18tb, tho disease stalked with fear
ful strides through the Bteerago,and when tha
ship reached the quarantine on'Wednesday eve
ning nearly all the passengers except those of tho
cabin wero mure or leas affected.
Dr. Swinburne, oi the sanitary committee, who
visited the steamer after her arrival, roports that
all the eick had unmistakable symptoms of Asiatic
cholera. Their countenances were of a dusky
color, their eyes were sunken, and they were suf
fering from tno purging? incident to the disease.
Their hands and bodies were shrunk, aud they
had other marked symptoms of cholera. The
surgeon's asaiatant had boon taken down, and his
place had to bo supplied. Ten or twelvo other
passengers wero auiierlng under cholera in its in
cipient form, and thoao passengers who were but
slightly affected, or who had oacaped altogethor,
wero filled with apprehension lest they should bo
' attacked if they remained on board the ship. Dr.
Swinburne ascertained that three persona had
died whilo the vessol was coming up tho bay, and
that the bodies of these had been thrown ovor
board, and attached by a line to the ship. Not
withstanding tho solicitations of tho paasongero,
i the doctor ordered that no person?not even the
i pilot?should bo permitted to leave the ship under
i any circumstances. Tie Government has allowed
. the commissioners of quarantine the u?o of the
steamer Illinois for placing the well on board,
and those afflloted with the epidemio will be re
moved to tho hospital ship. '

While the war was in progress it was customary
on the other side of the line to apply such words
as "holy," "saorod," "divine," ?ko., not only to tho
cause itself, but to its enterprises, ends, moans
and champions. If our memory ia not at fault,
the famous Dr. Tyncj, in an address to a body of
recruits, familiarly and pleasantly known as
"Wi-cson's cut-throats," gavo them "the most
comfortable assurance" that if tboir valuable
lives should be lost in the pious service they wcro
'entering upon, thoy would go straight to glory.
The Rev. Beecueb brought the Bible and the bay
onet, psalm-singing and shooting, into happy as
sociation by inventing tho term "bally-halleln
jah!" It is to be regretted that any thing should
occur to disturb the consolatory thought that the
Union armies wero composed altogether of saints,
for we can well understand how, even to tho van
quished, thero would be relief in suoh a thought.
Bat thero is, it must b? admitted, something a
little unsettling in tho fact that the law is kept
pretty busy han?.-ing men who went through the
war. That affair near Fhiladelphia, tho other
day, tbo killing of the Deebino family, is a great
stumbling block. And when wo read such remarks
as the following, which form part of an editorial
article in tho Now York World, of Thursday last,
wo do not know what to think :
A noto from a friend in New Orleans asks ub to
call attention to several peculiar advertisements
.now appearing in the Southern papers. Theao
advertisements offer rewards for the return of
valuable private libraries stolon by offioors of tho
Union armies, and appropriated to their own use
during tho lato war. One gentleman saya thore
were taken from bis house some three hundred
volumes, mostly raro French ami Spanish books,
relating to the early history of Louisiana, whioh
cannot bo replaced by purohae?, and for which
he now offers five dol?ais por volume. Large re
wards are also offered (and no questions asked)
for the return of other souvenirs stripped from
Southern houses, and which are now known to be
in the. possession of certain captains, colonels,
brigadier and major-generals, who havo a great
deal to eay about their publio services and
very little about their private stealings. Oar
New Orleans correspondent himself saw six or
eight boxes' of household knick-knacks and
women's and children's clothing which were stolen
in Pensacola by Neal Dow, and were stopped at
the Custom House in New Orleans.
This eamo Dow. was convicted of stealing a sil
ver pitcher from Bradish Johnson. Libraries,
wardrobos, plato closets, and picture galleries in
New Orleans, and in other cities, were stripped
during the war; and the peculiar performances of
Butler and his followers In this line are more no
torious in history, than are any of their exploite
in the field. Peace ought to bring repentance,
and if conscionco does not urge the return of
these family relics and private property, tho largo
rewards now offered, and which will be offered,
ought to induce the particularly "patriotic" to

Cnora m Axabaka.?The Chambers (Alabama)
Tribune of tho l?th aaya the oropa in that portion
of Alabama are in a most prosperous condition.
The wheat is unusually fine for the season, and
moat of the corn planted is up and flourishing,
and the farmers are sowing m their cotton, of
whioh' an immense amount is being planted. Al
together, the present prospects for a rich yield
thjs year, both of cereals and tho great staple,
are cheeriDg indeed. We hoar of little or no com
plaint of freedmeo, and think the great majority
of them are disposed to do right. In fact we hear
t?as complaint from employers inrtbiB section than
any other wo know of, Tho prime reason of this.
i?>, no doubt, the fact that our community is free
from the demoralizing induenoo? of - the military
trisa the freed mon'-? .burbBtt, in oar im media to pr?
senos; for where (bese evils exist negroes frill not
do as'well a? otherwise..

A correspondent of the Ne.w Ytok.ZTtma?, writing
from Wilmington, N. O., writes that "tho rice
plantations and turpentine orohards?n Cope Fear
will hearty all bo worked this year, most o? them
having' been rented by Northerners. Some of
them are the most valuable in the South. So far
as I have been able to learn, the. froedmen en
gaged on them are behaving themselves extraor
dinarily well; and are quite contented. Host of
the old overseers.on tho plantations havb been
retained by the lessees, and, strange as it may
seem, the blacks- prefer them {to Northerners.
They, tell me. that the Yankees work them too
hard, whioh,[ I suppose, is. a sufficient reason."
AN IMMENSE EMIGRATION.
An immense ?migration -will pour down lato the
Southern States with the restoratton of peace. Thou
sands of Southern refogess. from all the towns and eit
les of the North, will return home-, -thousands of North
ern soldiers will move in the same direction, and settle,
in the closest bonds of Union, among their Southern
brethren ; an a, In ob odien ce to the IA ws of demand and
supply, thofatands of Northern formers, mechanics snd
laborers, will swell the mighty volume for the rjpsoplisg
and rebuilding the waste places of "The Bonny South."
In anticipation of this grand diversion of the tide of emi
gration, and from the increasing demanda upon them,
the proprietors of HOSTETTEB'S CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTBB8 are putting up additional thou
sands of boxes of their universally popular tonic and al
terativo, i '
We have tbe testimony of soldiers, sai-ors, travellers,
trappers, miners, emigrants, refugees, farmers and
planters, North and South, "a cloud of witnesses," that
a? a ?afe and reliable remedial agent, and as o protec
tion against all the complaints Incident to exposure,
privations, changes of climate, diet, water and habits ol
life, HOTTBTTEB'S BITTBB8, used as directed, or?
worth their weight in gold, -North or South.? (Commu

It is also proper to state that the Bitters are sold ex
clusively In glass, and nsyer under any ciroamsunoei
by the gallon or the barrel. Impostors and lmltiton
are abroad, and the only safeguard the publio liai
against them is to see that the Bitters they bay hsve the
