Mexico-Her Patt and Future.
In view of their own political diffi?
culties, tho people of the South have
not givon that attention to outside
matters whioh ordinarily attraot in?
terest. The killing of Maximilian,
and tho peculiar crisis which now ex?
ists in that couutry, will make tho
following rofereuce to history inte?
resting to our readers:
Iturbide, a nativo Mexicau, who
led tho successful rovolt from Spain,
was proclaimed Emperor in 1822.
His reign lasted ten years, when n
successful insurrection, led by Saut?
Anna, compelled him to abdicate.
In 1824, a federal constitution, likt
that of the United States, was adopt?
ed, and Mexico was formed iuto o
Republic, with nineteen States and
three Territories. General Vittorit
was elected President, and Genera
Brava Yice-Presidont, for four years
From this period, a career of Hu
Mexican Republic may bo said tc
have commenced. Lot us seo how i
Compares with our own.
We must concedo it tho credit o
having got through the first Presi
dentin! term without a revolution. A
the end of that time, Gen. Pedrari
was oleoted President by a majority
of two ovor Gen. Guerrera. Tin
partisans of Guerrera, instead of sub
mitting to tho voice of the majority
rose in insurrection, and a sanguinar
rovolution followed, which resulted ii
Pedrara resigning his claim, am
Guerrera being declared duly elected
Guerrera had not been a year in hi
seat, before Santa Anna excited a re
volt and compelled him to resign
Bust amento being elected in his stea<
by the army; and upon his attempt
ing to regain his place by force, h
was executed.
This was in 1831, and from tba
time till 1833, there was a rapid sue
cession of revolutions, windie 3 u
with Santa Anna bocomiug Presiden
sud Bustamente being exiled. 1
1835, the constitution of 1824 wi
abrogated, tho confederation couver
ed into a consolidated republic, au
Santa Anna made President. The
came the Texas revolution; Saut
Anua was taken prisoner. Bustr
mente became President again i
1837, and held office for two year
Bustamente was succeeded as follow
Nicholas Brava, ono week; San
Anna nod Canaliro, a year each; San
Anna again, a year, when he was d
posed and banished; Cannliro, n<
quito a year, also deposed by a rev
lution; Flerrera, a year, driven 01
in liko manner; Peredes, and tho w.
with the Uuited States, during whi<
Santa Anna came to tho top, but aft
tho war, was forced to leave; tin
Flerrera again; then Arista, two yeal
compelled by revolution to resig
then, in 1853, for the fifth time, San
Anna, one year, when he was coi
polled to fly; then Carrera, twent
seven days, when ho was also driv<
out; thou Alvarez, two months; th
Oomonfort. forced to resign in ISS
The conservativo party then elect
General Zulonga to the President
but, according to tho Constitution
Mexico, tho office of tho Preside]
upon the resignation of au iucu
bent, devolves on the Chief Justi
of the Supreme Court. This u
Benito Juarez, who assembled
army to maintain his rights, but w
defeated by Tuloaga, and proceed
to Vera Cruz, where he declared hi
self Constitutional President. Si
sequent ly, Tuloaga was deposed
Roblco. Tho Conservatives anti Lil
rals continued from that period t
civil war, which was interrupted
tho arrival of Maximilian. In all 1
history of Mexico, but one Presid?
(the first) has served out his term
four years; whilst there has been c
Piosidential term which lasted 01
seven days.
If we look at tho constituent <
rucuts of tho Mexican populatii
wo cnn understand why it has ne
been able to harmonize and cxhi
even a semblance of stability. '1
population numbers 8,283,088, am
classified as follows: Of pure En
pean blood, 1,656,020; of tho nat
or indigenous race, 2,208,824;
mixed European and indigen
blood, 4,417,644. The uative rac
composed of six races-whites,
scended from the Spanish sotth
Indians; negroes, who are compu
at only 6,000;offspring of whites ;
Indians; mulattoes, offspring of
groes and Indians.
Wo already hear from New Orle
that a cry has been raised of "Ol
tho halls of tho Moutczumt
There arc, undoubtedly, mauy nih
turous spirits in tho United Sta
who are panting for a new lick
excitement and enterprise, and
whom poor Mexico offers au iuvil
arnua.
Thc New York Times has coi
pon douce from the city of Mc:
covering the timo from June 1
20, .'nclusivo, which makes up r
citai more than confirming 1
has been alleged of tho univ
thirst for blood among those
call themselves tho Liberals of ?
co. According to these lettei
appears that several classes
marked out for especial pcrsccu
including nuns, priests, forcig.
t
Americans, ?to., all of whom were
treated with the greatest insolence.
The following extract will give all the
principal points of the letters:
On the 21st of Juno, the articles of
capitulation of the city of Mexico
were signed and exchanged at break
of day, and the city was occupied by
Diaz, with his Oajaca troops, all of
whom went in perfect order to the
places that thoy wore directed to oc?
cupy. Tho surrender was made at
discretion, tho Imperial generals aud
officers retaining their swords. Tho
Austrians, in complianco with the
terms of tho capitulation, occupied
the National Palace. Tho siege had
lasted about seventy-nine days. Tho
troops of tho line and tho cavalry of
tho garrison had quite all returned to
their respectivo homes, which was a
very easy thiug, siuco the whole
army, with but few exceptions, were
drafted from tho city. The Austrians
have been paroled. The appoint?
ments for tho governmeut of the city
were made at Tacubaya, on tho 20th
of June. Juan Jose Bnz, tho chief
of police, is second in tho govern?
ment to Diaz, while the President
and his cabinet are delayed on tho
rond from San Luis Potosi.
On tho night of tho 21st, Bnz or?
dered tho nuns to disoccupv tho
convents within forty-eight hours.
So from henceforth there are to be
no moro couvents in Mexico. The
disoccupation is going on to-day,
and by suu-riso to-morrow tho 800
nuns of this capital will bo separated,
never, perhaps, to re-unite on earth.
Baz also decrees that thero will bo
collected an extraordinary tax of ono
per cont, on real estate and personal
property, and that it must bo paid in
throe equal instalments, viz: in three
days, fifteen days and thirty days.
If tho whole is paid withiu three
days, a reduction of 20 per cent, is
made. A heavy pressed or forced
loan could not be collected hore now,
and the authorities are aware of it,
becauso thero is no money in the
capital or country, comparatively
speaning. Thero is no money for
circulation, aud it will take mouths
to replace an ordinary quantity of
coin in circulation. It must first be
mined aud coined. The rainy season
is upon us, and commerce is and will
be powerless to progress until tho
dry season again begins, which will
bo in November. A few, and but a
few, heavy houses have opened; but
hundreds are ruined and will not be
able to resume business until after
liquidation tnkes place. Mexico, in
all its branches, is poor, poorer,
poorest to-day. Can Mexico sustain
itself? It is an impossibility. Her
revenue for a year to come will not
cover the expenses of this last enm
paigu. ?She owes 01,600,000 to her
army now to be discharged. The in
I terest on hor English and Spanish
I loan is now two years in arrears.
The Froud) claims will bc renounced
I in toto. Will the United States loan
on security'? "If not, she must pur?
chase territory," some say, "because
wo are bankrupt."
CITY OP MEXICO, June 25.-Presi?
dent Juarez, yesterday, ordered Gen.
Diaz to cease thu slaughter com?
menced here by Paz, the chief of po?
lice, and also instructed him to make
no moro imprisonments except in
case of important personages. Jose
Maria Laouuza, the Minister of State
and the creator of tho imperial go?
vernment, presented himself to thc
authorities as soon as hu learned oi
Juarez's order. He had been out?
lawed for two years or more by thc
order of the President of the Repub?
lic. He was imprisoned. It is said
that Marquez, Quiroga, Vidanrri,
O'Horau, and several oilier Imperial
commanders, escaped the night of th?
surrender to the nearest mountains
and great fears aro entertained thal
they will gather considerable forces
and pronounce for Ortega. Lozada,
Montenegro and Olfara, with sonu
12,000 men, havo pronounced in thc
North for a separate and independen!
republic. Ortega is reported ad vane
iug on Zacatecas. The French Mi
nister Plenipotentiary, M. Dano, hai
beeu refused his passport, and toh
that he cannot leave tho country ol
this capital until the French Govern
meut sends tho body of Juan Alrnouh
herc in exehaugo for his (Dano's.
All priests of th$ church appearing
on the streets iu robes or tho hat o
his custom are arrested and fined.
rumor is current that tho Govern
ment will soon order them to swea:
allegiance to the Constitution of '?l
which, of course, thoy cannot do.
Thus far, no demonstrations han
been made over tho triumph excep
the ringing of tho bells of the cit;
for about two hours, on the moruiui
of tho entrance of Gen. Diaz, sta!
and Oajaca troops. Sunday, theoOtl
instant, Juarez is expected to ente
his capital, when great demonstra
tiona will undoubtedly be made. Tin
reasons given why no demonstration
of joy were made are various, but w<
bink it was on account of the uni
versal fear that possessed the inha
Infants that there would bea genera
slaughter and sacking of eomuiereia
houses.
In a letter dated June 2G, th
writer says:
Tho cry, everywhere, since the tri
uni ph of tho Liberals is for blood
blood, blood. Nothing but execu
tious, imprisonments and extortion
have thus far marked thc new er
which has dawned upon Mexico b
thc destruction of the empire, an
over which so many promising prc
phecioswere made. Eighteen hun
dred men, strangers and Mexicau
bearing arms, have been shot at Que?
ro taro B?UCO the capitulation of that
city; and not an evening has come, or
a morning broken, but what the clang
of ri?es is heard at the different pub?
lie plazas or squares.
Whenever we hoar these reports, at
eventido or at sunrise, we know that
some uncondcmnod Fronohmen, Ger?
mans or Mexicans aro being pierced
through and through by bullets. No
trial allowed-no confession granted,
hut death, death, and blood, blood, are
demanded by this so-called Liberal Go?
vernment. "So far as we have seen,
with but few exceptions, it is com?
posed of a motley crowd, and one
thing is certain, no foreigner eau live
here. The persecutions upon all of
them, Americans as well as others,
have beguu in earnest. All the con?
sulates and foreign legations were en?
tered and searched, last evening,
against the protest of all the respect?
ive consuls and ministers. "Leave
thecountry-we don't wnut you here,'1
are tho greetiugs given to all foreign
residents.
That is the story told by an eye?
witness, whose testimony, tho editor
of tho Times says, will defy impeach?
ment. We commend the report tc
the thoughtful attention of the Ame
rican people.
A correspondent of the Times,
writing from Mexico under date ol
June 2G, says:
Colonel Sanger, of the Republican
army, arrived here from Queretarc
last night. Ho saw the execution o!
Maximilian. Ho says: When the
Emperor came down to tho Plaza,
which was tho ono where tho citj
refuse is thrown, he took a seat on f
rude stone bench until after he hac
seen Generals Mejia and Miramor
shot and their bodies taken away. H<
then beckoned to Prince Salm-Salm
who stood near him, to approach. H<
calmly requested this officer to give
him a good segar, in English. He li
the segar and walked erectly am
steadily to the low platform, whicl
consisted of a few planks laid upoi
tho deposits of out-houses, witl
which this squaro was covered. Afte:
asking tho sergeant of the riflemen tc
do him the favor to aim directly a
his heart, he seated himself upon tin
stool where but a few minutes befon
ho had seen expire two brave gene
rals whom ho loved. Casting awn;
his segar, he told them he was ready
Scarcely a minute afterward, tin
clang of eightoen rifles was heard
and Maximilian was a corpse, with
out a shudder or a spasm. We hac
fought for years; we had suffered ii
campaigns; but thero was not a Libe
ral officer or soldier-there was not i
solitary spectator at that scene-win
did not weep. "I do not know,'
said the narrator, "what my country
mon moan. All they seem to desiri
is blood! blood! ! blood! ! ! I have
seen it flowing in all the streets o
Queretnro, aud fairly loathed m;
laud. I hesitated to return to ni;
wifo and children, whom I lind no
seen in four .years, because I kne\
that the capita! of my country w:i
to be made as red with blood as wa

CONSPIRACY TRIAL DISCLOSURES.
A statement was recently made that

is in part erroneous. A majority of
that commission recommended that
her sentence to death be commuted.
