9IEXICAMZCD. Some months since tbe organs of the radical thief party were very much exercised over the probability and possibility of Mexicanizing the government, and the inquiries were common: Is the American republic to be Mexicanixed? Are the American people so degenerate that they are incapable of holding elections and of settling their governmental difficulties without revolutions and civil wars? While these questions were being propounded by conspirators and their organs and commented upon by the people generally, the very parties who professed such a holy horror for Mexican methods of government were perfecting fraud in the interest of Hayes, such as the most depraved aspirant for the Mexican presidency never dreamed of. Admitting that Mexico has been badly governed, it is susceptible of proof strong as holy writ that the lowest depths of degradation to which it was ever pressed down are sublime elevations compared with the degradation heaped upon the American republic by Grantistu. No such rottenness was ever discovered in Mexican affairs as was disclosed by the democratic investigating committees. Not Is it on record than the Uxlcan army was ever subjected to the inlamous business of standing guard while thieves, conspirators and perjured villains were perfecting their plans to

reverse the will of the people. In this regard the United S:atea under Grant outmexicocd Mexico. In the light of events that haye transpired during the past ninety days, it is not difficult to discover m what regards the United States lead Mexico in every element of infamy relating to republican government It is staid that in Mexico elections of presidents are a sham. We point to Hayes, and challenging the record, declare that his election was not only a sham, but a crime. If it is mid that in Mexico the party in power uses its power and patronage to perpetcate it power, we point to the radical thrcf party under Grant, and again challenge the record to show that it has prostituted w ery department of the government for purrases the most vile that ever blackened the f.uges ot authentic history; tbe army degraded, the treasary robbed, thievea in oß):e, with corruption and demoralization flooding the country from Washington to the remotest outposts of (civilization. If it is claimed that in Mexico presidents are -elected by a disregarding tbe voice of the reople, and are therefore nsnrpers, we invite the world to examine the Ttcord ty which R. IV Hayes to-dty exercises the prerogatives of president of the United Suites. Vour vil lains from the slums of New Orleans, men without character or stand: ng black, whiu and tan creatures 3 vile and a loathsome as ever p luted tbe air of heaven or expi ated their crimes trpon tke gallcws, reverse the will cf the people, not only ol Louisiana but of the republic, and make, man preai dent who baa no title Ij the cflice except such as the mostinfamons crimrs can confer. Mexico, in all of her revolutions, kas no paje of history so ineffaceaHy, stained with fraud and jerury. The radical thief tparty hes not only Mcxicanized the United States, -but it has more than Mexi canvzed it. In Mexi:o if a vsuper obtains power it is uai-ally by the sword, in wLich, say what we will, there is eoraethin: that commands respect and admiration. Ia the United States the radical thief party succeeded by the potentiality of perjary it lies and -steals ittclf ic to powr; it plays the poltroon atevry stuge of tbe game; it never ri.-ee above a sneak'.hief in its plans. With the cunning of a fx for its statesmanship and the greed of a wolf for its policy, it does not hesitate to use perjury and fraud for its weapons, and feeds upon its triumphs with the complacency cf a buxird in devouring its Carrion. Mexico never reached such Jep pedation; the-aliaiue waa reserved for the model republic (7) undec the withering blight of radicalism. Hui there are other evidences that the Cu'kted Hinten have not yetreached the utter-' Diostlimitof degradation, and that as coca pared with Merix) deeper shame and h.uiw illation is to be imposed. When inS8C4 Na;xleoa concluded to place Max&tuilian on tke throne of Mexico tbe people of that country recolved that tbey would not Acknowledge . hla right to rule. Those who were the recipients of royal fa voreKbniitled and there: ere such vermin in all countries but the. people generally tood tloof from - the Austrian forced upon tlvEMtt.aainet their a ill, and very soon after be was put U death. The Ifexicans would xxt tolerate a fraud as a rukr, and it should e remembered to Uieir everlasting credit. The ietp)e wko de tbroned Maximilian are i laid to be inferior to Americans. They are j viucipaly In Jians, about . 500,000 white ii tales -chiefly descended from the Spanish, negroes and mestizos; but tiifir inferiority do ea ot .appear in the matter of tolerating a i'uJ for a ruler in Una regard the Uni:td States Stauda considerably in advance of a y couatry, nation er tribe, from hotentot t o the jvvost Ad vanced nation, on earth. The subject is worthy f reflation. The United itatea has a fraed for a president, placed ttw-re. by crintea the most infamoup, and wliile be rtinaiiw in oflce thtc country ought to bang its head in the psesence of Mxic-J . ; joai.x . LEC I Tardy justice baa at lat overtaken John O. Lee, one of th Mormon Heads who was a conspicuous actor in the Mountain Meadow nuwNii're. He was shot Friday on ihe very ground where, nearly 20 years ao, men, wwuien and children were butchered in obedience to the orders of Hrigliai Young 0i the crs that was placed at the head f the pit wherein the bones of the murdered f migrants were buried, the followitu quotation was placed: 'V'engi'ance ii mine; I will ' rejmy," and the Indications now Kint to. -further fill rilluie-jt of the dcclaMtion. Lee's tonfoeslou puts the. (overnuteut in pooseskioa .

of facts hitherto concealed. Up to the date of conviction Lee refused to tell any one, not even his counsel, the secrets of the massacre. He had unwavering faith in Brigbam Young and bis brother Mormons, but when at last the verdict of "guilty" was rendered by the very jury the church had selected for his acquittal, be felt hi niBelf betrayed and deserted; be eyed the jurymed like a hawk, but waa aa immovable aa a marble statue. Then and there Lee resolved to make a clean breast of it. Guilty he was; but be simply obeyed orders. He did not plan the murder; that was done in the high council of the church, over which Brigham Young presided like a demon, and How it is to be hoped that hoary haired fiend will be made to pay the penalty of his crimes as Lee has done. The confession will bf read with intense interest, and will revive the fierc indignation of the people of the entire country against a church

that warms into life such monsters as participated in the Mountain Meadow mas sacre, or who in any wise aided or abetted or approved of the horrid enme. THE KOUTHEKX POLICY. There was considerable shouting among those who support the presidential fraud when the senate confirmed his cabinet nominations. The usurper waa at once credited with "backbone", ,4pluck", "nerve", "sourage", "independence", and all other virtues that belong to a real' hero. The country was congratulated, and all things were said to look lovely perjury was as good as truth, fraud as acceptable as honesty, and the tie- - . . . i cision of returning naara tmeves ana scoundrels and the indorsement of a supreme court Judas, equal in all regards to the expressed will of the people at the ballot-box. Tho arrant knave Jim Blaine, who made a fierce attack upon the supposed" policy of the miscreant who accepted office at the bands of conspirators, was lectured and be rated for daring to suggest that Tackard and Chamberlain must be sustained. But in tbe light of subsequent events, what is the conclusion? Is it not that Blaine baH won the fight? The troops have not been withdrawn, nor are they likely to be, and the situation in Lousiar.a is growing worse daily. In the case of South Carolina, we have a most humUiatins confession of inability to -decide, and as a result, Hampton and Chamberlain are invrted to visit Washington and talk the matter over with the presidential fraud. This is the latest phase of the sonthern policy of the usurper. It is simply vacillation and indecision promises without perform tance preserving a statu fito wki-ch keeps alivt vexatious questions that wonld disap pear in an hour if the troaps were removed. We Lave not believe! at any tinve that the presidential fraud would remove the troeps from New Orleans, or go back on Pac kard. The Pentinel has demonstrated again and again that Hayes and Parkard are twin frands, created by the same returning board machircry, manufactured out of the name damr.ahle lies, paid for at the name time, and doomed te. tho same execration. It 13 possible that Chamberlain can be bought eil", but Packard -chows no disposition to surrender. Hayes has won by Packard's help, end he proposes to have Hayes's in return, or make it hot for the usurper. Blame understands the gamp, and has given Packard assurances that the presidential fraud will adopt no olicy that has not a bcyonct ia it to maintain the bu premacy of jerjury. Thk New Orleans Tin has authority, unfortunately anonymous, but vouched for as first-class, for giting the details of Hayes's bargain with the south. It aupcars that Hayes was compelled to premise -that is to say, he couldn't consumsiate bis contemplated theft without promising that troops should not be allowed to kinder the accession of " Nicholls and Hampton. He has broken this promise with the greatest facil ity, and the southern conservatives are left to admire tbe versatility of villainy that lies as easily as it ntcals. Thkrk is to te another very pretty municipal fiaht In StiLouis. The disaffected wings of both parties have nnite4 in convention to nominate a candidate for tu ay or against Overstolz. The man selected, Hudson, is a pronounced re-pcblicarl, but the Test of the ticket is composed of members of both parties. Uayks has changed his mind aga'.a. Yes terday he had hie private secretary write to Chamberlain andSIampton and have them come to Washington. To-day ke saya he believes he will go back to the intention anncuncod on Friday, viz: to have a commis sion appointed. CuAMiiERLAiN is f?Aug Ui Washington.

TIME AT TIPTOX.

Tbe Prevailing Sentiment on Ihe Political HI I on t ion. ISpeclal Correspondence of the Sentinel. Tipton, Ind., March 23. 1877. The current of events continues to . flow in this interesting region, and the popularity of the Sentinel is not abating a particle, but it continues to be read and appreciated by the honest men of all political parties, ihe agitation of the mssses over the triumph of fraud con tinues and bids fair to continue during the eventful reign of the usurper, and doubtless will eventuate in the ovelwhelniing defeat of the great radical thief and perjury part; and the triumph or the army of reform. When that glorious epoch dawns upon our distracted and bleeding country the race of small thieves and large, and all the jerjured scoundrels and smooth faced hvpocrites will no longer be invested with exalUd positions in the councils of the nation as under radical rule, but will in lieu thereof be consigned to eternal infamy and positions in the penitentiary. lhey do tell us thnt the honored chiet ot the immortal eight is a fire brand and a thorn in the flesh of radicalism; that he has snubbed Sitting Bull and would not have Brother-in-law Holloway inl3 picayune post oßice nor Saint Benjamin in the cabinet of the "elect" and the bst administration since the days of Washington. A fawning sycophant is the stupendous white bouse fraud a whited sepulcher and a base hypocrite, that winks at and consents to become the standard bearer of the most infernal plot of scoundrelism conceived outside of the in fernal regions and that Satan himself would hesitate to reroemze. and now invokes high heaven to smile propitiously upon him anri vouchsafe His divine assistance and forth er the glorious work of the slimy reptiles the arch blashpttner, Ingersoll, whose r-ju-tation for lying is world renowned, a-M ai. most vies with the Journal. His fraudulency may pour oil riW!ri the troubled waters, conciliate the 'h. and atain the ofiicial virtues of a ryCasbington. His sins, wnicn arc as scariet, rry become as white as wool, but he will be the great usurper notwithstanding. rfh9 robbers of his people may be abolished n needed reforms may be wrought, but he cr,n not build up or strengthen his party. He has already divided the same, lhi'yea quarrel among themselves. Corruption never purified itself. "The Ethioiea'4 can not change his skin nor the leopard his spots that ye may do good that are acjntometl to evil." "And they will gnaw a flle and flee to the mountains of Hepsida m, where the lion roareth and the whangc'oodle wourneth for his first born." HIDDEN II RE. Some Scientific Ttieorle ofSpontnneow tcmbuvlon, The folowiny; from thi New York Ppeetaiui riuivii biiuuiu H!vi'a9 vuusiiivrauiv intcrest for such persons as have no knowledge ef the science of chemistry, and wbo do not andeniand that all material substances con tain a store of latent or undeveloped heat: Doublle.-s there are many instances of spontaneon combustion on record which 1 are yet unsolved, and which never will' be solved to tbo satisfaction of all concerned We do est pretend to explain these mysteries, but simply to draw atten tion to a mistake we think often made by those who imagine that a high temperature, or a vast amount -of hear, is essential to produce spontaneous combus tion. "We are apt to forget there is such a things latent heat discovered by Dr. Blac lc, and described as "that portion ot the mat ter of heat which ma es no sensible addition to tha temperature of the bodies in which it exists. I his latent or undeveIoted heat, unlit.c any known substance, lies hidden in everything around us; it is stored up till we want it wlven the supply is forthcoming. It 'nmy seera strange to those who have not thought much awut it when we pay on good authority that there is beat in everything. even in ice. Oi course tle amount of latent heat in different substances is not always trie same. One or two familiar illustrations will prove what we assert. M x sulphuric acid and water, both cold, in certain proportions; pour cold water on cold lime, and in both cases you have intense heat. Ve make ii it rate of iron by combining nitric acid, water and iron, all cold, and in a few seconds the mixture will boil and continue to boil in tho open uir for 'JO or 30 minutes. A black smith beats or coat presses the particles of Iron by his hammer, bnngmgout the latent heat, and the iron is red hot. Now where does all this bcateutue from If it was not in the acid, water, lime and iron? Before they came in contact with other substances the beat was hidden, or not perceptible to our senses, but was brought out when required. Many things have their chemical const! tution entirely changed by combination, and in this change evolve a large aiuouutof heat. Dr. Ure savs: "Combustion is the discng'tgenn nt of iteat and light which accompanies chemical combination." Pro fessor Beeley says: "The temperature of 'gnition varies greatly for the tliiierentconibustibles. The corn hnutible nature of iron lead, copper, silver and cold was not even suspected until a recent uate. Heat always accompanies the union of oxygen ' with another substance. In slow burn me (oxida tion) the heat is simply-diluted in time or space." Three times Dr. Jackson afllrms that be has set hre to charcoal at temperatures below that of boiling water. "I once laid a piece of tine ound charcoal, kut oamp. on the top of a column stove to dry, directly beside a tin pan containing water, which was pot boiling, and never did bail there; I took tbe charcoal oil the etove and laid it on the table; a short time afterward I found that it was on (ire all through the fiiece; I put it aside and it burnt entirely 1 1 ahes " Charcoal, it is well known will ignite if stacked in large heaps. A remarkable case of spontaneous combuMi jn occurred at Leamington, England, in May, 1812. A hs'r mattress was supposed to be on fire. ''It turned out, on examination, that there wai only a thin covering of hair, the interior f the matt r ss being made up, amongst other tilings, of roughly brotien tlx ami oakum, substances only requiring th contact cf oil and jcreee to ignite by themselves, but wliicU could be ignited more quickly by such an elevation of temperature as mere animal hent." Mr. Badderly. in his rejx.rtof 'The Fireg In London" for I8.r)3, reixirts yet an oilier M'iiarkable case at the residence of Mr. Fletcher, In Manchester, wiio on entering his room one afternoon foe nd the sofa on fire.

RESTORED VIRGINIA. Itnp rut ire Powfr Dlplrel by M All cttf-k-t-u &ak o a. ur fie tfawiiivi wa st" a . aa tv m , w I Baltimore Sr j The efforts of the people of Virginia since the war to retrieve the terribl y losses entailed by that destructive co aquest have been as remarkable and persistant aa the heroic energ they displayed in battle. A summary of these victories of 'peace appears in the Richmond State. Th fences, barns, mills, factories, farming utensils, and in thousands of instances tne dwellings and even colleges b-i churches themselves bad been d Mtroved. and Richmond was ha f bur Aed do a in the pitiless war which hary swept over the state. Every county in ..Tginia had been trampled and .wasted by t ,e invading armies. The mules and hor? were aU gljnPt the catte, sheep and hrg and poui, had all been consumed. "De railroads were worn out beyond rep:nr An means of water transportation we destroyed. Fifty able bodied mpn.out.of every hundred had been killed or disa Dy wOUmj3 and disease in the w!ar rtd mourning and desolation were in ali. Virginia homes. Now farms, fences, m' As, factories, barns and dweilinga in YirP'nia are -generally restored and are m a better condition than they were before the war. New railroads have opened new avenues for the increased production of the farms, mines and factories. In Norfolk, Lynchburg, Danville and Stanton popula tion and trade have greatly increased, as in other towns and villages. Richmond has increased 2.j,000 people. The whole of the burnt district in that city has been rebuilt on larger and tiner plans, and the dwellings, increased in size and styles, have spread far beyond the former city limits. The develop ment of trade and manufactures and com merce is commensurate with all this. Six or seven years after the war's end one iron estab lishment in Richmond was employing 1.500 to 1,800 hands,and giving support to 5,000 peo ple of their families. The flour mills turn out thousands of barrels per day, and 100 to bacco factories, sumac-mills, planing mills, hat factories, paper mills, nail works and other large manufactories of iron farming utensils evince the energy and business ca pacity of Virginia's capital city. Only a few years ago the annual shipment of cotton from Norfolk did not reach 50.000 bales, and five years ago there was not a cotton press in that town. Norfolk has now become the second cotton port in tbe south, and three cotton presses work day and night to load the ships. Jn Petersburg there are 40 or 50 tobacco factories and nine cotton factories at work. In Ianville there are over 60 or OO tobacco factories. But it has not been merely to materia Hnterestg Virginians Lave directed their energies. The education of all classea has been fostered; schools and colleges are restored on a ranch larger scale; new ones have grown up; the fine military college, which was burned hy lluuter, has been rebuilt, and stands to-day a better school, with a broader policy of instruction and an abler faculty than has ever been at est I oint. Insanity, once unknown among the negroes, has become a great and increasing ailliction To relieve it Virginia has established an in sane asylum for negroes the only one in the world where more than 300 ot them are cared for, and which may be commended to tbe authorities in this era of reform as a model of cleanliness, humanity and econom ical and faithful administration worthy to be followed by some other more pretentious institutions. Tracked Rjr RIood. Providence Dispatch. As Otllcer Rankin was standing on tbe corner of Elizabeth and North Main streets about midnight, he discovered a man lying prostrate and insensible in the stiow on KlizaWth street. With the assistance of Officer Howland and two citizens, the man was carried to the Central station. Bum was running freely down his face and neck, and npon removing his hat a terrible gash was discovered on the top of his bead. A lantern was at once procured, and officers started back to examine the spot where he had been picked up. After a long and patient search, a single drop of the tell tale life elixir was found on the L,lizaheth street en trance to the "Red Front," on the corner of Canal and Klicabeth streets. The place was apparently closed, but the vigor ous pounding of the officers soon gained them al niirwion. Tbe upper part of the house win tirst searched, but nothing could he found of any importance, but upon going down stairs again two large pool of blood. fresh and not yet congealed, were found at tho bottom of the 'airs, and a tur titer search brought to light the probable instrument with winch tbe deadly blow was given a sarsaparilla bottle now broken into fragments. Following up the trail, and care fully blowing away tiie thin covering of snow that covered the outer step- and side walk, more drops and clou ot blood were found by the officers, hut ho direct traca of the assailant could be found. -The injured Mian's name is John Hunt, and he belongs in this city. II was formerly a baggage master on the l'rovidence and Worcester railroad. The fearful nature of the blow rendered Hunt so delirious that it was impossible to obtain front him a really definite account of how and where the affair happened, but he claimed that he had been struck and robbed of a sum of money and a plain gold rinir. The particulars of tbe assault are still shrouded in mystery, hut wlipn Hunt tully recovers his senses he may be able to give a more connected account of the matter. Paul's True Story.
