Twenty thousand dollars per annum ls asked for the lease of thc whole, the lessee to nay taxes and assessments.

It Is con? tended that Escobedo is a general of great ability, and is at the head of nearly all thc available na? tional forces. Quite recently he has been largely reinforced, but, In spite or this, he has been obliged to retreat rrom San Luis Potosi to San Fe? lipe, and from the latter place to Guauamato. The States of Xalisco and Mlchoacan arc up in arms, and the leaders or thc government troops are divided In councils, and unable to put down the Insurrection. Under these circumstances thc future of Mexico ls not promising. -At the recent meeting or the shareholders or .the "Atlantic" and Anglo-American Cable Com? panies one of the speakers, in referring lo the ar? rangement just about to be perfected under which the two corporations are to be consoli? dated, and work the two English and the French <Cables, asserted that the new company need not fear any rivalry in the futnre.as it possesses the ex? clusive connection with the whole ol the civilized world in communication with America, and the exclusive connection with Cuba and Mexico on the .south, as weU as the Pacific on the west. Through the French Company it receives the messages from France, and by another arrangement it has nearly an exclusive right to the whole or thc Ger? man business. -The attempt or the inmates or the Hudson County, New Jersey, jail to escape on Sunday night, was a triumph or human ingenuity. The ringleaders or the plot, securing several table knives and a file, converted thc knives into saws; then, being allowed to roam In the prison all day, tkeprisoners repaired to what is known as the iath-room, a small dungeon in an extension In ?he rear, over which ls a skylight and underneath iron crossbars. They made a kind or swing, ex? tending from the bars down, placing the saws ai the lop. Then they invited all the small boys of-therneighborhood to enjoy themselves by swing? ing! They kept the saws continually at work. Thus they had sawed the bars nearly through, when their trick was discovered and the ring -Jeaders'at once placed in solitary confinement. horrid death from starvation has just been brought to light by the sanitary inspectors or yew Tarir'. These officers In making their rounds searching-for cases at "relapsing rever," acci? dentally heard of a man who was lingering in extreme" destitution in one of the damp and filthy ceUars or Water street. They sought the J*te"miiea and descended to the basement by a pair OTdtTspldated stairs. Once upon the landing or a -dari:, dreary and flithly hovel, they rapped for admittance. There was no response. They rap? ped again aud again, ami- yet ail was stillness. For a quarter of an hour they kept up their en deavor to gain the Interior, bat without avail. Finally they used violence, and burst the door open, and stood "deep into the darkness peer? ing." They groped about blindly In search of the victim. They could not find him, and were about to give it up, when ono of the inspectors stumbled against something which turuod out to be the form of a man pros? trated by starvation, aud suffering at the same time from pneumonia. There was no furniture in the room, no comforts, no necessaries of exist? ence; not even light, hardly life, but trie clear shadows of inhuman death. The apartment was small, and dirtier than thc foulest sewer. The celliug was several feet below the level or the sidewalk, and the floor was covered by stagnant water, emitting foul vapors. In such a place as this the poor unfortunate man, going on toward sixty years or age, had lived Tor flvc days, slowly dying for want or nourishment. He subsisted during that time on one pounder butter crackers, and was utterly unattended and uncared for. His removal to Bellevue Hospital was promptly secured, and death thc next day ended his suf? ferings. Exit Whittemore. It is something at least to be thankful for, that a Radical Congress has for once done an act which must be heartily applauded by honest men all over the land, irrespective of party or creed, and even of "race, color or previous condition." The paltry trick by which the Reverend and Representative Ras? cal contrived, at the eleventh hour, to escape the form, though he ha3 fully incurred the disgrace of an expulsion, is just what might have been expected from so slippery a saint But what shall be said of a Governor who consents so readily to make himself a party to a scheme, thus suddenly concocted, to cheat National justice of its due ? "Was it not enough that black thieves and cut? throats, whom it had cost the people thou? sands to convict, should be turned loose by the score in every section of the State? Was it necessary, in order to keep up Hie Governor's reputation for consistent clemen? cy, that the mantle of "our beloved State" should thus have been officially thrown over admitted corruption, at which Congress and the country alike stand aghast ? Or, may? hap, as our Washington telegram suggests, has some cogent reason, some of that fellow feeling which is said to make us wondrous kind, constrained the Governor, sooner than to hesitate about accepting the resignation, to consign to a common infamy upon the record the namoa of Whittemore and Scott? We look to the Military Committee of the House to make thorough work of what it has so bravely begun. Whittemore, bad as he is, is quite as honest, and, if anything, rather more respectable, than Bowen and H?ge. Against these two men let the ener? getic inquiries of the committee be promptly directed. Wc ourselves have been assured, I within the last twenty-four hours, by a South Carolinian, whose radicalism has been too notorious to be questioned, that he could prove that Bowen had received one thousand dollars for naming the son of one of our present State officials for a endet ship ; and we believe it will be found that, though the youth has since been .dismissed from the^ Academy for incompetency, the money has never been refunded. This is but one of a host of charges against thc honorable Representatives of this State, which are well worth looking into. The Regeneration or thc State. We are not disposed to question the dis? interested sincerity of our contemporary, the Columbia Phoenix, either when it advo? cates tue suicidal policy of "every man for "himself," or when, as now, it insists with some warmth that "a wise, moderate and "progressive Democracy" be put before the country. It is only natural, however, that gentlemen holding high official position in the old Democratic organization of thc State should bc loath to countenance any move? ment whose dominant principle is, that thc first step toward success is an ignoring of the name and style of any parly which is connected indissolubly with a dead and buried past And it can easily be under? stood that our Columbia contemporary, de? voted to the watchwords of other days, may unwittingly treat the name, rather than the platform, of tho State Opposition party as the one great thing for which to contend. This leaning is made evident by the com? ments of the Phoenix upon what it calls the proposition "to sink the Democracy in a "sort of hybrid organization, which shall be "neither fish, flesh nor fowl, and which, in "seeking to please everybody, will satisfy no "one." The Phoenix also gives a ghastly list \ of woes which this hybrid organization may bring upon the State, asserting that it will "take the soul out of thc anti-Radical move? ment," and "disgust the very bone and "sinew of the anli-Rudicalists, who are car "nest, working Democrats." These few words show thc obliquity of the political vision of the Phoenix, in assuming that an "auti-Rad "ical party" is necessarily "a Democratic "party," and also iu declaring that an aban? donment of a party nanr;, without any abaudonment of principle, will disgust thc men whose chief object in voting with the "Democratic" opposition in 1SGS was what it will be in voting with the Citizens' Party in October next; that is, to root out official and personal corruption, and give the State an honest, impartial and economical ad? ministration. We do not pretend to deny that the men who voted with the Democratic party at the last elections will be the boue and sinew of the Citizens' Party. The error of the Phoe? nix, and a grievous error, lies in the assump? tion that the white voters sustained the Dem? ocratic party purely because it was a Demo? cratic party; while the common-sense truth of the matter is that they voted with the Democratic party because it was the only party in the State which waa arrayed iu di? rect and open opposition to Radical extrava? gance and corruption. And the reasons which forced these good and true men to work patiently and earnestly in 1S5S, will compel them to work more ardently as mem? bers of the Citizens' Party in the fast ap? proaching elections. The Citizens' Party does, indeed, offer to the people of the State, every principle which could be incorporated in the platform of "a wise, moderate and "progressive Democracy." And it gives more to the whole people than any traditional party would be willing to do. The platform of the Citizens' Party contemplates : 1. A frank and full recognition of the civil and political equality of the white and black citi? zens of South Carolina. 2. -nsequent repudiation, iu State con? tests, ol old party name3 an I old party issues. 3. A bold aud outspoken opposition to personal and official corruption. 4. The election to office of honest and capable men, identified in interest with the State, without regard' to their position in past contests, or whether they voted for Grant or for Seymour. 5. VICTORY. And whatever may be neces? sary to secure it No Democratic platform can give more than this, and it is doubtful if it could give as much. And no Democratic platform, whatever its length or strength, could hold all the white people together, or draw to its support enough colored votes to make suc? cess a reasonable certainty. We should, moreover, like to know what there is iu the name or principles of the Citizens' Party which will alienate the affections or repel the support of a single honest man ? 1. It will not drive away tho colored voter, be? cause it recognizes his every right, as Tully as they are recognized by any party in or out of the State. 2. It cannot drive away the Democrats, because it promises them low taxation, public justice and private security. 3. It will not repel the respectable white Republicans, because it admits the existence of accomplished events, calls a spade a spade, and makes the fight upon those ques? tions only in which the interests of all class? es are ono and the same. Tho object is to unite all staunch and re? sponsible men in a mighty movement for the regeneration of thc State Government, which cannot be done under either a Demo? cratic or Republican banner. The Citizens' Party i3 no more nor less than a grand Anti Radical movement, whose name explains ita central idea,-that all its members stand upon the same footing as CITIZENS, and that in its success every citizen has a deep and abiding interest. This may be"neither fish, flesh nor fowl," according to the acute natu? ralist who presides over the political desti? nies of the Phoenix, but it is a sound, whole? some food, upon which the body politic will 'thrive and flourish.

The article, "At Cambridge University," gives a spirited and entertaining account of life at that great col? lege, from an under-graduate point of view, and has the air of being a correct picture. Justin McCarthy gives ten pages of well writ? ten scandal about the Prince of Wales, which will be eagerly devoured by the literary ghouls of the day. "Ten Years In Rome'' Is a lively sketch of the "secret history" of the various religious orders in the "slowly fading mistress of the world." The article by Richard Grant White, on tho drama generally and Booth's Hamlet In particular, will be read with inter? est in the present Shakspearlan revival, even by those who may not respond to the key-note of his thought-that "real art ls always low art." The paper is, at any rate, exceedingly suggestive-a rare merit In these days of pinch? beck. Thc stories, with the exception of Mr. Charles Reade's serial, are poor, and the poe? try below par.
