An election riot in Mexico is some? thing serious. It is a revolution. Such a disturbance is pending in Nuovo Leou, where there are three candidates for Go? vernor. Tho citizens of Monterey who have portable property are already pre? paring to decamp, for the first net of a revolutionary juutu is to levy a forced loan. Last year Trevino und Quiroga headed the revolutiou in Nuevo Loon, uud the American Consul at Monterey was put into the common jail for refus? ing to pay tribute to these brigands. Tho unfortunate people of Monterey aud Mat am ora s are compelled to live iu light marching order; with each successivo re? volution they pack up and leave. This year it is taken for granted that at least one of the defeated candidates will or? ganize a revolt uud "got eveu," some? how, for expenses. The Caterpillar.?Mr. Degolycr, on Si. Helena, reports tho caterpillar to bo plenty in tho fields of thut island. The plaut is at least teu days behiud in growth, uud tho worm has appeared earlier than usual. Tho prospect is, therefore, that unusual dumagu wiil be done to the crop. The Mexican Government is preparing to march an army of 6,000 men to rein? force the detachments serving ou the line of the Bio Grande. The republic will then have quite tin imposing army of troops stationed at various points ueur the American frontier. It is said that iu ouc of tho Rhode Island factories recently, "a boy was lifted from the floor by tho hair of tho head by the overseer and held until tho hair came out by tho roots." That over? seer should bring uu notion for damages against tho parents of that boy lor not fastening in his hair tighter.

The Presidout expressed views of clemency similar to those previously expressed by yon, and said he would address you a note defin? ing the preseut policy of tho Goreru meut iu relation to prosecutions under the Eutorcemeut Act. We beg to reuew tbe suggestions already made that the purposes of the Uoverumunt iu tbe pre? mises be made public so that all con? cerned, particularly the refugees, may have authentic information from proper official source, by which they may be able to govern themselves.

Department ok Justice. Washington, July 31, 1S73. To Messrs. Porter, Ktrshatn and Sinn, Washington, D. G. Gents: Your letter ot yesterday, iu teuded to elicit from me a public ex? pression of the policy of the Government in relation to prosecutions und prisoners uuder Enforcement Acts, is received. 1 have to say in auswor, as indicated iu his conversation with you, the President has communicated to me wbttt I have heretofore understood to be his wish, that the persons accused and convicted ot offences under t>.iid Acts should be treated with as much lenieucy as possi? ble, without prejudice to the ends for which they were prosecuted. It must, however, be distinctly understood, that tb:s action by the Government is not prompted by auy doubt as to necc.-sity or validity of said Acts, or the necessity aud justice of the convictions already ha 1 under them to prevent and punish high crimes, but by tbe belief that the Ku Klux Klaus have, through said con? victions, been almost if not altogether broken up, aud that those who were con? cerned or sympathized with them have coino to see the folly, wickedness and danger of suoh organizations. You have been pleased to say to me, and similar assurances have beeu given by others seeking the same object, that executive clemency at this time ou Ku Klux cases would teud to remove many cases of uneasiness uud irritatiou now existing, aud conduce generally to the public peace and tranquillity. Tho pro? posed action is taken in reference to such cases, with the full expectation that these a-ssunu.ccs will be verified. Yon arc informed that the prosecutions now pending in the courts for violation of Enforcement Acts will be suspended or discontinued, and instruction, to that effect have already be?u given several District Attorneys, but there may-be exceptional cases of great aggravation where the Government will insist upon conviction and punishment. There ure, however, but few of such cases now within my knowledge. Persons who have absuuted themselves, on accouut of their complicity, or supposed complicity, in Ku Klux offences, are nt liberty to re turu, aud unless their crimes briug them within tho above exaeptionaj cases, they" Will UOt be prosecuted. Many of those sentenced to imprisonment for suoh offences have already been pardoned, aud tbe cases of the others are under cuusidcratiou, aud wiii probably be dis? posed of in like manner, keeping iu view tho propor relation between their punishment and the nature of their guilt. To avoid any miscoustructiou of these proceedings, perhaps it is necessary for mo to .say, that all conspiracies aud out? rages iu violation of said Acts, hereto? fore committed, will be prosecuted with nil possible cuergy aud vigor, und it is to bo understood that the Government does uot intend to abandon euid Acts, but to induce, if possible, a willing obedience to their reasonable requirements. Sub? stantially, they are intended to protect citizens of tho United States iu the pos? session uud enjoyment of their political aud civil rights, guaranteed to them by the lato amuudmouts to the Constitution; aud the President, whose duty it is to see that tho laws are faithfully executed, would bo recreant to that duty, if he did uot so administer tho Government as to afford to all citizens the equal protection of the laws. 1 have added those sugges? tions to the information ior which yon ask. with u sincere hope that, by the ex? ercise of a mutual recoguitiou of each other's rights, by all classes of people, uo further necessity will ariso for their protection uud eulorcemeut under said Acts, through the acttou of the General Government. Yerv respectfully, GEO. if. WILLIAMS, Attorney-General. ? . ^? ? ? Killed nv Lightning.?Ou Monday t.Ucrnoou last, Mr. J. S.

I A Man Worried with Money ?Great , 1 v to ruy delight, I uiet my old friend. George Williams, uway down Williams atreet. He was ju-t from the city of Charleston, where in: ruins us a king, and was iu ? very happy frame of mind?I mtan, financially. I knowd George in Nacoochv, sum thirty years ago, when he used to work iike a uigger, iu a little oorn-patch ou the side of the hill, and carried water in a big eoap-gourd, to keep his truck from burning up with the drought, riij was ulwuys hard workin, and a mighty liberal man, according to his means. lie is liberul yet; but in spite of ull he can do, his money will akkumultde faster than he oau give it away. I'm afeerd tili? worries him, and it does look like a pity to see a man so discucutitted with money iu hie deolinin years. Consideriu that be is a Georgia Methodist, I bav thought he might build em a college iu Nacoochy, just to spite old Vauderbilt in Tennessee. I've no doubt he will do it, if he ever thinks of it. I notised that he was quite thin iu the flesh, and remarked that it was a fa? vorable slrkumstance, for he could kom nigher goiu through the needless eye the Scriptures tell about, when the time cometh. That thing has bothered mo so all my life, I've been afeerd to lay up auy money. The truth is, however, 1 have never had a chance as yet, and the prospect for the future is mortal dim. George says that money is all vanity aud vexation of spirit, uud the way he talked about the trouble aud the care that it brings, I know he would have cheerfully given me a few thousand dol? lars if he hadn't hud such a high regard * I for my family. He was afeerd it woold I prove a burden iustead' of a blesain'. He said that when he was up on a visit to his Nucocky farm last summer, he put ou some old clothes and an old hat, and started ou a tramp around the plants* tion. Gettiu'tired after awhile, be set down ou a log by the side of the' road, and u man cum along with an ox wagiu; aud, ses he, "Moruiu', sur." "Good moruiu'," ses George. "Do you work for George W. Williams?" "Yes, aor," says George. "How much does he give I you a year?" "My viltels and clothes and tobukkor, aud pays my doktor'a 1 bills," says George. "How long have j you beeu working that way?" "About I thirty years," says George. "Well, you're uu old fool, aud that's just the way the stingy old etiss has made all his mouey. Good morntu', sur," aud be popped his bark whip aud drove on. [Bill Arp. 200 u .kn.i youths turned loose in the streets of New York last Sunday must Imvu been a novel and interesting sight. Tlie hundreds of bojs who bathe along tho docks, insulting decent people, were raided on by the police, who upproacbed in boats while reserves waited on shor<". As soon as the nuked army bad left the water, the two squads pounced ou them simultaneously, and for the space of ten minutes an indescribable scene of confu? sion ensued. Tue boys who were unable to hud their own clothes grabbed those of their neighbors, uud without waiting for further ceremony, struck a bee-line for escape. iSo scattered wns the crowd, that it was impossible to catch ail, and in order to divide the puuishmerjt as equally us circumstances would permit, the officers left their "trade mark" on the bare shoulders of the escaping ones with rattans, which they carried. Mot having time to dress, the boys started to? ward Aveuue D, some with a cap on, others with one leg in i\ eir pants, while the greater portiou were perfectly naked. Many were captured and looked up. The frightful murder of the unfortu? nate Delia Corcoran, whose body was found floating in the Hudson Kiver, has an aspect revolting euough to make even those shudder who have become habituated to deeds of violence iu this eru of murder. The girl, judging from the testimony given at the coroner's in? quest, went out boating with some ne? groes, and her body, bearing all the ap? pearances of outrage and murder, was afterwards picked up in the river. The sureuess and swiftness of Jersey justice have become proverbial, so that the mur? derers of this unhappy girl Will be, doubtless, dangling in the air before long. The manner of restraining the playful impetuosity of Texas gentlemen while at church is vory graceful and picturesque. Not with calm and tepid words doeafa Texas preacher rebuke an unduly game? some llock. No; tho worthy man to whom epeciuliy we refer stopped bis ser? mon, I ho other day, raised a convenient rilie, nnd observed warmly in a spirit of love, "William Dello, sit down, or I'll mako it puiufnl for you."
