"CORRUPTION* wins not more than honesty."

WE trust that Grant will not forget, when he comes to appoint a successor to Jewell, at the court of St. Petersburg, that there are some thirty odd thousand persons in the corporate limits of Terre Haute who wouldn't mind taking a Russian bath this warm weather. As to qualifications, we believe nona ot them can talk the Russian language, and that ought to satisfy a fastidious President.

THE State Central Committee of the Independent movement which was still-born at Indianapolis on the *10th of June, has accepted the resignation of Noyes White. No nomination has been made by them of a successor. This will be the worhy it is said, of a future meeting. The committee might spare themselves that labor during this hot weather. The less said about that Iudependent movement, the better.

TIIK oppoHition of the Express to Grant for a third term does credit to that paper. The GAZKTTE, however, cannot agree with it in Its idea that two, or even throe, terms of a Presidency can bo good thing. The country, in our opinion, will ahvuys be under the shadow of an impending storm until the Constitution lias been amended making a persoji eligible for but a single term as President. Men have and will une the immense enginery of patronage within the dispoHtU of tho President to gain a second term, as Grant used it once, and is now U9ing it again.

ANEW YOKK astronomer is of the opinion that tho earth will get a brush from the tail of Coggia's comet, which is now disporting itself in the northern heavens, a few millions of miles distant. This information may excite consternation elsewhere, but it will hardly arouse even attention here, when the very streets are daily brushed by the rustling trains of female meteors and stars. Let Mr. Coggla's odspring visit this place if she wants to be outshone by dozens of Terre liaute girls, whose fathers have too high a senso of propriety to let them go running about o' nights making a show of themselves.

i/Anii Solum/, has admireis In (he East who appreciate his worth, and in the event of the Htate of Missouri being so stupid as to iil to return him to the United States Senate,will see that his talents are not allowed to remain hidden under a bushel. Tho New York States Zoltung, tho Iwuling German daily newspaper in the United States, has made him an oiler of $20,000 a year to become its managing editor. He will, however, hardly accept the oiler, as he is part proprietor of the Wes liche Post, the leading German daily of St. Iiouls. We trust, however, If Mr. tichurz shall return to journalism that he will connect himself with Home English newspaper.

SPKAKKU Br,AINE is out in a letter to tho Chairman of the convention which re-nominated him for Congress. It has all the characteristics which we should expect to see in the letter of a professed politician at a time when party lines are wavering and new Issues are arising, upon which the will of tho people has not yet been ascertained: Blaiue marks out uo definite policy. Ho enunciates no great principles which ho deems necessary for the welfare of the country. It Is tholet ter of a man who has made his motto iu life the reverse of the famous sen timent of Clay, when ho said that he would rather be right than President Wo are incliued to believe that Mr. Blaiue has underestimated tho Inteliigcuce and morality of tho Ameri can people. They are no longer to l»e caught with a Jingle of words that mean almost anything a person may feel inclined to interpret them as meaning.

(SOMETHING creditable can be said of one member of the Cabinet, at any rate. Secretary of the Treasury Rristow stands by his post In Washington while all his fellows and his chief have flown to seaside and mountain to recreate, and cool what tiy courtesy may be called their lieatcd and overworked brains. And Urlstow is cleaniug out the Treasury Department, some, too. He is showing a considerable desire to perform the duties of his high ofllce with credit to himself and with an eye to the public good. For this the country is duly grateful. It is a long lime since this people has had an opportunity to thank any member of the present Administration for the performance of the duties of his olllce in an honest aud capable manner. We very much fear, however, that the masterful manner in which he has begun the herculeau labor of cleaning out the Augean stables of the TreasQry De partment will soon set the Adminis tration against him and bring about his removal, as the same policy per sued by J. D. Cox necessitated his re uioval and the appointment of the suplu Dehyjo to Ins place at. the head of the Interior Department.

A WIUTKN in to-day's GAZKTTE, jover the noin de plume of Martin Luther, hits the County Commissioners atome hard raps. The two decisions lie refers to may very properly be ^considered as, to say tho least, a lititle erratic. Luther's opposition to .Judge Long, we neither understand «or appreciate. Tho opinions of Judge Long upon the wisdom or ifolly of the Baxter bill are of small «ioiuent. The olHce for which he is candidate Is not a law-making, but a»

law-iuterpreting

one. What he

would enact if he were a member of he Legislature, is unimportant. What he will do as a Judge Is of supreme importance. We think Vigo county never had A Judge more impartial, or unprejudiced bv his own personal opinions

SisSministrati of justice. His decisions have rarely, if ever, been found at variance with the rulings of the Supremo Court of the State. Most personp, we presume, understand that it is no part of a Judges duty t» render decisions in accordance with bis own persona* opinions «t what the law should he. The people »f Indiana know how to .change the Jawe. That is their duty ami privilege. What they want in a Judge is a /air, just and enlightened interpretation of lUntt law. Such a Judge they Siave found Iu Thomas B. Long.

Tilton-Beecher.

The extracts which we-prlnt to day from the editoral of Theodore Tllton, In the Golden Age, will be of interest to all who are keeping themselves informed upon the lieecher scandal. Throughout the article is discernible a high appreciation of the many noblo and worthy qualities of the pastor of Plymouth Church. It almost seems as if Til ton was relenting for having published his first card, though goaded to it by the illtimed and vicious attacks of Mr. Beeclier's hot-headed friends. Hut whether Mr. Tllton relents or not, the present is no time for holding back. He has crossed the rublcon in his accusations, and the road Is now straight. There can be no turning back. His character will suffer immeasurably more now. if he doqp not continue on to the end. It is best for him aud best for Beecher, that tho whole truth should be told. If the natural inference from his original charge is correct, viz. that Beecher deeply wronged him and that at the tearful solicitation of Beecher, and for the good he had done, and was doing in the ministry, ho chose to' stifle tho promptings of his heart, bear the shame, and keep silent, to to the end that no reproach might bn brought upon the cause of religion, every man and woman in the land will applaud his magnificent-self-denial, his Christllko meekness and humility. As to Mr. Beecher, he may dread exposure, but he need not despair. The worldmore is the pity, is not all composed of such splendid specimens of truo manhood as Tilton, and therefore he may not find as great-souled or kindly a jury when he submits his case to tl.o people. But Mr. Beecher must not forget that he has not wronged the people at large as he has Tilton. If (lie man whom ho chiefly sinned against has forgiven him, the people whom he has injured iu a much less degree eau surely do likewise.

Ie must not forget that this sin, whatever it is and however heavy it may be, Is moro than olIset by a life, lian which that of no man in the country has been devoted to the accomplishment of more good. Let but Mr. Beecher humiliate himself before the people by an opon confes, sion of his fault, whatever It may be, as he did before Mr. Tilton, and he will find them as generous as they are just. A few whoso lives have been one prolonged debauch, may cast stones at him to make themselves appear pure, but the mass of mankind will forgive, even as they expect, to be forgiven.

Tho Fireworks a More than Ordinary Fizzle on the Occasion of the of the Big ridge.

A Tale of Two Cities.

To tho Editors of the Evening Gazette: Of necessity fireworks aro a fizzle, but the Bt. Louis fireworks in honor of the big bridge were an astonishing fizzle. Visitors were disappointed aud citizens wero disgusted. Thero were tens of thousands of people out to witness what was heralded in advance as a grander display of pyrotechnics than tho world had heretofore witnessed. All the available boats on the river were anchored iu the stream, filling the channel full for a mile from and below tho bridge. Thoy wore illuminated with great gorgeousness, and presented a grand and beautiful spectacle of themselves*. The piazzas, house-tops, and temporary platforms along the St. Louis side of the river were packed with pooplo. Tho levees on both sides of tho river, almost as far as tho eye could roach, both above anfl below the bridgo, literally swarmed with wouldbo witnesses of tho most marvelous display of fireworks over seon on this sublunary sphere. The witnosses waited and watched through two hours' very ordinary display, which did not havo the effect of even causing tho comet to hide its diminished tail, and then watched and waited another hour for the good display to begin, when they were notified that tho show was over. There was much disappointment, and it Was fully expressed. The scone in tho boats was ono beautiful to behold, howovor, but tho river men should havo tho credit of tliat, inasmuch as they did thoir own decorating. Ttie fireworks committee had 910,000 at thoir command, it is roportod hero, and there wero not more than $4,000 wasted in tho display so Jwcty-eially expended. Wo have had almost as good in Terre Haute.

Hut St. Louis should not bo judgsd by tho fire-works, rather by tho business she does and tho boats that business is done upon. Well may this ho rogardod as tho future great city. We havo it on good authority that business hero is transacted on home capital, and with homo talent. St. Louis is not known in tho money market of tho world as a china borrowor. Recently, when a half million of monoy was wanted to meet expenses incident to public improvement iu advanco tho assessment and pollection of taxes, tho amount required was promptly furnished by a St. Louis bank. Sinco the first of January eleven hundred buildings, somo of them large and elegant, have boon constructed hero and paid for nhon completed. It is said that somo of them aro among tho finest OVOB built in the Mississippi valley. Whilo we rogard Chicago as being tho most stylish aud elegant city on tho Continent, wo aro prone to say that its beauty is borrowed, so to speak—in othor words, its buildingH wore built and its business transactod on borrowed capital. St. Louis is tho safest place to invest capital, bocauso its titles to reality aro perfect, whereas tho reverse is truo of Chicago. Hut money cannot bo lnvostod to advantj agounloss tho capitalist crimes to reside, as lie cannot loan it for tho good and sufficient reason that there are no borrowors. Millions of money from abroad could be loanod at Chicago at any timo~if not to tho enrichment of the lender. As to the commerce of the two places, tho advantage seoms to bo in favor of St. Louis. Tho railroad facilities of the latter equal, it they do not excol, the former, while the Mississippi is ahead of tho lakes. The Fathor of Waters is opon to navigation tho year around' from this city to the gull. Tho lako navigation is closed lour or live months of tho year. Iu consOquenco thoro i» huutle of business at Chicago six or seven months oi the year, while at St. Louis thero is a strong aud steady stream of it tho yoar around, all growing out of tho trade incident to water transportation.

Now that the great bridgo is built, an added impetus will be given to the transportation, by rival business, and thore is, indeed, a groat and glorious tuture bol'oro tho city, if lteavis does not succeed in stunting its growth by moving tho national Capital bore. In that case—aud wo judge tho future by tho past—if the county ot St. Louis should constitute the territory ot the District government, the principles of economy which have characterized the government of the city and county would bo broken, and tho oxtravagance of corrupt officials rule the hour and ruin the city. Upon the whole, St. Louis' future will be all the greater if the national Capital romains where it is now, and is so likely to stay.

DICK.

Tho County Commissioners. To the Editors of the Evening Gazette: County Commissioners are entrusted with groat power. By tho exercise of that power thoy can make tho burden of taxatlou heavy or light. They can Involve the county hopelesslyln dobt, or by tboir prudent measures, avoid liabilities. They can act in defiance ol law, and there seems to be no way to bring tbom to account for it. In Vanderburg county there were eighty-four applications for license to sell liquor at tho last session of tho Board, and every one of them was granted. Quite a number wero proven to be fraudulent. License was granted to a woman. The three mon comprising the Board constituted of themselves, judges, jury and executioners. Thoy were fully determined beforehand to grant every application. They were elected to violate tho temporanco law, and they did so. They deteimlnod to pander to the baso passious and appetites of the population, and they did it. The sacred traffic of that county was not interfered with. Tho favored class was triumphant. Perhaps the time may come when tho voters of that county will bavo souse enough to elect Commissioners who will not violate the law. When thoy do, wo shall fiud a way to punish them, as well as all other offenders. In Vigo county we have had some wise rulings by tho Commissioners. They ought to rank with the laws of Solon for their exhibition of wisdom. Tho gentlomen comprising the

Hoard ought to bo summoned to the Supreme Bench of the nation just us soon as a vacancy occurs. A pelitiou to UlyssosG. should be circulated, atouce, in the county, praying his illustrious highness to appoiutthemto ihat high aud honorable position. Men and women came from the uttermost part of theloarth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold I in Vigo connty are greater men than Solomon. Solomon could not make something out of nothing, but these mon oan. They made two rulings in the session held sometime iu the spring to which particular attention should be directed. 1. They decided that where the same natno in the same handwriting and on the same petition occurred more than otico, it* must be counted, so George Yost might subscribe himself yours truly, twenty times in tho same poiition, and George must be counted twenty times. 2. They decided tha| all marks or tracks or hieroglyphic! which had the appearance of having been names, although it could not be determined, what name was meant, must ho collated, so OeorKO Yost might make a hundred Arabic characters upon anyone petition, and every mark must be counted as a name, But bow does the honorable Board decide about the marks having the appearance of having been names? Doubtless they apply to such marks some chemical preparation hitherto unknown to soience, which brings them out In base relief or they apply souse powerful magnifying glass to them which makes tbem ''visible to the naked eye." B© that as it may, those two decisions should enroll the names of their au thors upon the pages of History, thus immortalizing them forever.

At their last session two "limbs of the law," two "bright and shining lights," appeared before them. The question before the court was "Shall applications for permits to sell Intoxicating liquors be granted to men who were convicted and fined for violating one of the provisions of the Baxter bill?" Now, that law speaks in very unmistakeable terms on the sabject. It says that if any person is found guilty of an infraction of that law, be shall not be granted license to sell liquor tor five years from the date of conviction. A person of half sense ought to understand sach language. Yet, acting under the advice of tne two legal gentlemen, tbey did grant license to persons who had oeen fined for violating the law. No man believes that the perceptions of the honorable Board wore BO obtnse that they believed in the construction thus placed upon the sections of the law referred to. Evidently tbey wanted a scapegoat to bear away their sins, and they made the opinions of those lawyers the goat. But it has not run away into the wilderness. The sins of the gentlemen of the Board cling to tbem yet. Their fellow-citizens know what construction to place upon tboir action in the case. After awhile there will be two Daniels brought to judgment. They may outrago common decency, baffle justice, and tawart the will of the people, now but they will be compelled, in time, to respect that will. But their disregard of law is simply pandering to the corrupt elements of society. Their action gratifies the habitues of the brothel the saloon and the gambling hell. As long as such men hold offico as Commissioners, sach classes of men will be gratified. It is an anomaly that the Republican convention should endorse the nomination of Judgo Long by tho Democratic convention. The Judgo stands square upon a platform which declares hostility to the Baxter law. The Republican platform declares in favor of that lnw. So the Judge now stands upou both platforms. He is astraddle the fence he is carrying water upon both shoulders. But he is certain of election. No temperance man can consistently vote for him. With such Commissioners and Judges and lawyers as we now bavo, but little will be doue toward tho enforcement of any temperance law. There is no remedy for such a stale of affairs, but for tho people to put in their places mon who will cnforco tho laws. Will it be done

Sketches of Some of the Living Men of Mexico.

THE POLITICAL AND MATERIAL SITUATION.

Duty aud Interest of Americans in Ili spect to Iicr.

Lecture by lion. Thoqiatt II. Nelaon.

On Monday evening Hon. Thomas H. Nelson, late United States Minister to Mexico, by invitation, addressed the literary societies of the State University, at Bloomlugton, taking for his theme the political and material situation of Mexico, and the duty and highest interests of the American people in respect to that country.

The chapel, in which the address was delivered, was crowded to its fullest capacity by a deeply interested audience of ladies and gentlemen, to whom Mr. Nelson was introduced, in a few fit aud flattering remarks by Professor Oweu, who occupied the chair. At the close of the lecture Professor Owen, In behalf of those present, returned most cordial thanks to Mr. Nelson for his very entertaining address.

Our limited space forbids the publication of the address entire, but we give below some extracts, including interesting delineations of prominent Mexicau characters:

ITURBIDE.

The first effective blow that was struck for independence was by that brilliant and accomplished young soldier. Auuustin de.lturblde, the real liberator of Mexico, at whose biddltfg the whole country rose up as one man aud shook off forever allegeiance to the Spauish crown but Iturbide fought merely for independence, and never dreamed of making any change in the form of government.

Ho believed that the Mexican people were not fitted by nature, education or habit for a republican form of government.

He was himself an aristocrat and a monarchist, and was easily persuaded, after coquetting for a time with the Spanish royal family, to assume in his own person and family the imperial purple. After a tumultuous reign of a year, he abdicated the throne and became an exile. Returning again in a few months—as Napoleon returned to France alter his banishment to Elba— he was detected through his disguise the day he landed on the coast, tried by a drum-head court-martial, and shot at six o'clock tho next morning. Thus perished by the hands of his own people, as. a traitor, at the early ago of 39 years, tho liberator of his country 1

Paradoxical aa it may appear, he was decreed the honors of a public funeral —his remains were carried to the Capital with great pomp and ceremony, and now repose in a glass sarcophagus at the right of the grand altar of the Cathedral in Mexico. The day of his entrance into the city at tho head of the Liberating army was, for 50 years, celebrated as a national holiday.

BOLIVAK.

The first generation of Moxlcan Presidents and Cabinet Ministers was composed almost exclusively of persons who were at heart monarchists—and it is easy to divine the confusion which this fact introduced into nearly all branches of the administration.

Simon Bolivar,the Liberator of South America, who became cynical in his old age, declared that the people ot Spanish America never would be satisfied until they had monarchies called republics, aud Kings ctflled Presidents, and it was practically so in Mexico. *,-* .*

S A N A A N N A

Oue of the most representative mon that Mexico has produced, General Santa Anna, aptly symbolizes in h's manifold career the war of ideas from which Mexico has but just emerged

Commencing life as a subaltern in the Spanish army, in waging war upon the early insurgents, we see him in 1821 acquire tho rank of General, by co-op-erating in the monarchical revolution of Iturbide to bo first to pronounce against that unhappy Emperor in 1322. In the series of nearly fifty rulers who have held sway in Mexico since then, Santa Anna has waged open or secret war for or against every administration but his own. In his first Presi dency ho was elected as a Federalist, and overthrew tho Federal Constitu tion. In his second term he again overthrew the existing institutions, in lavor of another plan of government. Iu his third Pjesluenoy he restored the constitution of 1824, and in his last administration made himself Dictator with the title of "His Serene Highness!"

What a chequered careordoes the life of this remarkable man present A short time ago, after a banishment of nearly twenty years, having exhausted upon hts vices his millions of ill-gotten wealth, tbe onee proud and arrogant Dictator, now a feeble octogenarian, returned to tbe Capital ot which he was so ofieu the undisputed master, and is now begging of the Government of Mexico a small pittance, wherewith to eke out the remainder of his miserable existence. What a commentary on buman greatness 1 What Santa Anna did upou a grand scale many other military chieftains did upon the lesser theatre of State .governments. The question of tbe form of government could never be said to be definitely solved for .Mexico, until the adaption iu 1857 of her present constitution and that event, as is well-known, became

interveuilon, and the ephemeral empire cf Maximilian. Here let me pause a moment to pay a brief tribute of honor to the memory of one whom I was proud to call my friend, and who was characterised by the present chief magistrate of Mexieo ifc as the "author of reform, and the preserver of the independence of tho Re­

TERRE HAUTE, INI)., JULY 9, 1874.

public in many respects the greatest man that Mexico has yet produced one of the great men of the century, and whose name will grow brighter and greater with tho coming centuries, refer to the illustrious Juarez. Born in a little Indian village in the State of Oaxaca, of barefooted and blanketed parents—pure Indians—at the age of twelve years he became the body servant of a parish priest, who, discovering some evidence of metal precocity in the lad. undertook to teach him Latin and Greek. His progresswasso remarkable that be was sent to tho State College, where in a few years he graduated with tbe highest honors of his class.

Concentrating his mind upon the study, and then the practice of law, he soon rose to the top of his profession. He filled successively, with credit to himself and honor to his country, the posts of State Legislator, Governor of Oaxaca, member of the National Congress, President of the .University of San Ildefuso, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chief Justice of tho Supreme Court, and for fifteen years was President of the Republic. What a good example for the struggling youth of all countries. Upon such men as Benito Juarez and our own Abraham Lincoln, both of whom sprung from the humblest obscurity to real greatness by their force of character and transcendant abilities, Almighty Qod has unmistakably stamped His seal of nobility.

Tbe time has not yet arrived wl%n an impartial judgment can be pronounced upon tho public careor and eminent services of President Juarez, but his name will ever be associated with the triumph of civil liberty and enlightened reform. lie will live in the future as one of the wonders of this age, as the man sent by Providence to repel foreign invasion, crush and destroy the despotism of tho church, raise the poor, establish free schools, suppress insurrections, and deal the last blow at imperialism in America. This man of iron will and iudomitable resolution seemed to bear a charmed life, lie escaped unscathed from nioro plots, conspiracies and accidents, than any other man of ancient or modern times, and finally, unlike most Mexican rulers, he died in hist bed. As an incorruptible patriot and a sagacious statesman, as the champion of political and religious reform, as one of tho patriarchs of republicanism in America, and abovo all, as the noblo, honost man, "History will write his glorious name

High ou her truth illumined ncroll."

MAXIMILIAN.

Iu marked contrast with this great man, mentally, morally and physically, was his rival for power and supremacy, the haughty young Archduke of Austria, whom the arubitiou3 policy of Napoleon III., taking advantage of our civil war, attempted, with the aid of foreign bayonets, to place npon the throne of Iturbide. Comiug from a race proverbial for physical beauty and personal accomplishments, this tall and graceful scion of the House of Hapsburg had not one single quality of mind or character that fitted him to govern the Mexicau peonle, or to engage iu so large an undeAiklug as that of founding an Emp^p on the ruins of a Republic. Vain, vascillatiug and shallow, he was wholly destitute of common sense, and never seriously considered the duties and obligations of his exalted position. When the life of the empire was suspended by a thread, he found time to chase butterflies, study heraldry, devise coats of arms for tho newly-fledged nobility—aud produce volumes on court etiquette—aud such was the easy facility of his disposition that he was always influenced by the last person with whom he advised. He had IJO earnest or conscientious convictions on any subject. Hence, the amazing inconsistency of it in conduct—and the shifting and temporary expedients to whih lid was ever obliged to resort. His attempted administration of the government was necessarily a failure and there never was a time in the history of Mexieo when life, liberty aud property were so insecure. The sympathy which so generally prevailed for Maximilian in the United States can only be attributed to gross Ignorance of the facts of history and of his true character.

He came to Mexico at the bidding of Napoleon III., backed by French bayonets, aud an army ot foreign mercenaries. His so-called election as Emperor, was the basest fraud that ever disgraced the contiuent. A war was -inaugurated, in which the ordinary rules of civilized warfare were utterly disregarded. The defenders of the Republic were hunted down like wild beasts, and killed as fast as tbey were captured. Under the infamous "black flag decree"—which cost Maximilian his life two years after wards—thousands of the noble young men of tbe Republic were sacrificed —murdered iu colli blood—for no other crime than that of bearing arras iu defense of their native land and their own chosen system of government. .But the tables at last turned! Maximilian staked his all —life, fortune and character—"on the cast of a die." He lost, and paid the penalty. On a bright morning in, June, 18G7, more than a month after his capture, aud after a deliberate trial, in which he was ably defended, he met Ills fate. Ou the Cerro delas Campanas, near the city of Queretero, a sharp volley of musketry was heard, and Maximilian was no more

But the eoho of those muskets resounded aud reverberated among the gorges of the distant' mountains. They were heard across the Atlantic, and shook every throne In Europe to its base. They will roll ou through coming ages, aud be answered by tbe uprising millions of future generations, until "Kingly Prerogative" and "Divine Right" are things of the past! See the hand of God in history! Isabella was driven from her throne by her outraged subjects. Napoleon, broken-hearted and humiliated, his empire dismembered and destroyed, sleeps his last sleep under the soil of France's hereditary foe.

PoorCarlotta Is a moping idiot. Bazaiue, the brutal tool of Napoleon in Mexico, narrowly escaped the death penalty, for treason to tiis couulry, and is now iu pri.nou for life. France and Spain, the leading poweia in the plot to overturn ^Republican institutions ou this continent, have ceased to be monarchies, and to-day are tryiug the experiment^of selfgovernment. The crime of European despots against American liberty lias been expiated. *,

LERDO.

Two years ago, upon the 'death of President Juart-z, the Chief Justico of the Supreme' Court, Sebastian Lerdo de Teiada, became the Constitutional President, and in the following Oatober was elected by the people without opposition, all parties and factions uniting upou him with singular unanimity. Mr. Lerdo, with whom I hafl much nersoual and official intercourse, is a gentleman of pure CastUIIan descent, of rather aristocratic tastes and habits, of large intellectual grasp and wide* culture. Trained and educated in the tcier.ce of government, he thoroughly comprehends the wauls aud requirements of tbe Mexican people and I doubt not that under his wise and patriotic administration, the hopes and expectations of the friends of the Republic will be realizetf.

VERA CRU55 RAILWAY.

The completion of the railway connecting Vera Cruz, the principal port, with the capital of tho Republic, at the b?ginuing of the last year, marks tn epoch ju the history of 'Mexioo.

That railway is the most remarka ble work of the kind on the eontiur ent—and in overcoming asperities or nature, seemingly uosurmoun table. It is a grand triumph of engineering genius.

The length of road in 260 miles, with a branch thirty miles long, con

hecting the main line with the city of Puebla. Tbe highest altitude it attains is 8,500 feet. For more than twenty miles at the Cuinbres of MaUrala, there is a continuous grade of four per ceul. or one in twenty-live.

The scenery all along tbe Hue of this road from the moment of leaving Vera Cruz uutii your arrival in in the City of Mexico cannot be surpassed iu beauty, majesty and subimity. It is an everchanging and shifting panorama. Within a few hours you eucouuler several changes of climate—the temperature depending less upon latitude than elevation. Almost every form of luxurious vegetable life can be seen, while in rich and lucious tropical fruits no part of the Vorld can compare with the /erra# calientesof Mexico.

As you ascend the is continually feasted with endless aud exquisite forms of beauty, iu hill, valley and plain, robed, for the most part, in the gay and briliant colors so peculiar to thej Mexican Flora. Tho terrific grandeur of the mountain views between Oriz:iva and Boca del Monte must be seen to be appreciated or comprehended, although the outlook from the car windows appears to be perilous as you glauce down thou.sands of feet upon the cultivated plains bfclow. For more thau one hundred miles you have constantly in view the snow clad peak of the volcauo of Orizava.

It is strange to me that trite and stale Europe should regularly and every summer be inundated by American travelers and sight-seers, whi'ii at much less cost in time and money tliey can explore that terra incogniht at our very doors, 011 which nature in her giaudest mood has been more iavi-di iu riches aud attractions than npon any other ou the planet, anil where almost every foot is classic ground, made memorable by souie great historic event.

A view of the City of Mexico and its surroundings would alono more than compensate auy oue for the time and trouble the journey would require. It is indeed a large and splendid city, inferior to none for the maguitlceuee of its appearance and situation. Humboldt, iu 1S03, called it one of the finest cities ffver built by Europeans. He states that he had segu successively, within a short space of time, Lima, Mexico, Philadelphia, Paris, Rome, Naples and tiie largest cities of Germany, and yet, ou compariug the impressions made by them, he says that Mexico had left on his mind a recoilectiou of distinguishing grandeur which he attributes, in part, to the jeslic character of its situation and the surrounding scenery. And what can be more imposing than the view from the Castle of Chapultepec, from whence Humboldt gazed upon that matchless scene?

Every thing essential to constitute a perfect landscape is here presented. There is the great city, with, its lofty towers aud stately palaces, lying in tho lay of a lovely valley, bordered by broad meadows, while the plain is gemmed with towns aud villages, with their sweet surroundings of trees and flowers. In the distauce may be seen the tranquil waters of Lake Tuzcoco, on the margiu of which stood the Capital of the ancient ally of. Montezuma.

A dark belt of porphyritic mountains completely girdles this vast valley around, like a rich setting which nature had devised for one of the fairest of her jewels—and as If to keep watch over this fairy scene of enchantment, there rises in the background those grand old snow-clad sentinels, Popocatapetl and Iztaccihautl, with their heads lifted nearly twenty thousand feet above the level of the sea.

Nothing can exceed the magnificence of this scene. But the whoje country abounds iu magnificent scenery.

In concluding his address, Mr. Nelson said No one can calculate how much stronger aud richer-both nations would become by .the establishment of this powerful bond ot material interest, conferring, as it will updn the people of each country, nothing but mutual and reciprocal benefits and blessings.

This is the kind of annexation that I favor, and that our people ought to favor, and no other, aud in this seutiment I reflect, I am sure, the opinion aud conviction of all who houestly desire the peace and prosperity of the two republics.

You now have my view in brief, in respect to the duty and interest of our people towards Mexico, which couht be elaborated at much greater leugth, and in a moro satisfactory manner, if time permitted.

It is my heart's desire, in which I trust you all unite, that Mexico, purified aud strengthened by tbe fierce trials through which she has passed, will realize the fondest hopes of Republican liberty.

Possessing the most favorable geographical position on the continent commanding a seaboard of vast extent on either ocean with a soil of unsurpassed fertility, yielding in perfection every variety of the productions of the earth with exhaustless mines of the useful aud precious metals, aud a beautiful and delicious climate and, above all, with a constitution. and political institutions bnsed upon the immutable principles of liberty and equality, may that beautiful republic occupy and maintain a proud position iu the family of nations, and be, and forever remain, a monument of true liberty, peace and prosperity, on which the world may gaze with admiration forever.

Cost of Fencing in the United StatesEconomy in Nebraska. Tho heaviest item of expense in farming—tbe heaviest, considering the profit accuring, is probably that of fencing. In many cases fences cost more thai} the lands. The fences of the country are valued at one thousand eight hundred millions of dollars antl year by year, nearly one hundred millions of dollars are expended to keep the fencing efficient. In Illinois not less than $2,000,000 have been invested in fencing and not less than $175,000 are annually expended to keep these "metes aud bounds" in repair. If stringeut fencing laws had been adopted iu the Slate of Nebraska, the settlement of the country would have been much retarded. But a law adapted to the needs of the country has beeu wisely adopted. Thin i'iw relieves the settler, at the time when he needs all his money, for other improvements, from the necessity of iuvestlng a large sum In tire construction of lumber fences. The law throws upon every owner of IJve stock tbe onus of keeping bis stock from straying on the cultivated lauds of his neighbors. The farmer need not buUd fences around his cultivated fields, for horses, cattle aud sheep are "fenced out" by the law. The stock, when pastured have to be herded but tbe cost of herding is npt a tithe of what fencing would be. Fencing goe* on, of course, in Nebraska, but it is live and not dead fetices which are constructed. All through the settled portions of the State,' hedge rows are appearing and thriving. The hedge plants most used are the honey locust, the osage orange and the white willow. In some places long hedne-rows of peach trees, from which frequent good crops are gathered, may be be seen and the peach seems to make as good a fence as the white IFillow.—Correspondent.

THE GREAT SCANDAL*

Theodore Tilton Retires the Golden Age.

from

rti.

HE WHITES ANOTHER LETTER TO "CORRECT MISAPPRE1IENa SION." -J

A *r

M*! ti' if'? -4, A Tear or Sorrow for Mr. Beecher's "Tortured Heart."

He Would Nut "Rise by his Rain If he Could."

NKW YORK,July 2.—TheQoklen Ago of Saturday next will contain the valedictory ol Thoodoro Tilton, who resigns thn editorial charge to Mr. W. T. Clark. It will also contain further au article on tbe Tilton-Beecher scandal, which those who have seen it interpret as quito a letting aown on tbe part of Tiltou.

The following are tbe important parts ot this second remarkable paper, which tbe Golden Age says ia written to correct misapprehensions created by bis letter to Dr. Bacon:

He had been assailed by Dr. Baoon, who was led to believe that be was a scandal-monger and falsifier wbo had tried to ruin the most beloved of ministers. Mr. Tiltou's character and standing as a man among men were involved, and silence on his part was a tacit acknowledgment ot the justice of Dr. Bacon's aspersions and correctness of erroneous sentiments by which they were supported. One sentence from Mr. Beecher'a lips or pen would havo drawn the poisoned arrow and healed the smart. Mr. Tilton called Mr. Beecber's attention to tbe ottensivo statements, and in tho presenco of two* witnesses told him that unless he corrected the misrepresentations in his way it wouhl be necessary for himself to correct them his own way, which would be severe. Weeks passed and no correction was made. Longer silence on his part

WHS

impossi­

ble. Mr. Tilton is accused »f intending to strike Mr. Beecher staggering if not a fatal blow. Whoever reads his letter witb care will see that he studiously rofruined from striking any blow at ail, save at tbe thick network of calumny and misrepresentation that had been adroitly woven for his own entanglement and ultimate destruction. His sole purpose was to save himself after years of silence and endnranco, and when a longer silence and endurance would havo been fatal and he refrained lroin mentioning Mr. Beecher at all, except as it was necessary to do so in order to set himself right. His reticence in this respect deserves uommendatiou. If, in order to vindicate himself, he was obliged to lift the curtain aud exposo a series of disingenuous aud inexcusable transactions, it certainly was not his fault. If Mr. Beecher wlslios to exculpate himself, if Plymouth Church wishes to vindicate the character of tho pastor, tho way is open, aud the world will await the issue with anxious solicitude. But so far was it from being Mr. Tilton's purpose to injure Mr. Beechor in any way, that his sole hesitation to publish the letter was the foar that it might injure Mr. Beecher. He sahi to personal friends who urgod its publication that ho shrunk from saying ono word that could add a pang to Mr. Beechor's already pierced and tortured hoart. lie said: *'I would not lay so much as a linger on that sorrowing hoad, I would not rise by his ruiu if 1 could." This has been Mr. Tilton's provailing tornper of mind and way of speech. He regretted nothing so much as the necessity which forced him to say anything about tho matter whatever. If Mr. Beecher is smitten, he has only himself and hlB friends to blame for the blow. But the essential point in this whole controversy remains untouched. Witb tho scandal itself we have nothing to do. That is a matter for Plymouth Church and its pastor to deal with. It thero is a skoleton In their closet tbey will probably hasten to open the door and let daylight shine through its'dark places.

Webster said that suicide under weight of accusation was confession of guilt. There are circumstances under which silence is suicide. But one thing in this whole mattor is so conspicuous aud grand that it deserves a notice it has not received. We refer to the toleration, the Bymyathy, the solicitude of the American people for a great and useful man ander a cloud of suspicion thick and heavy enough to oruab tn ordinary oliurootor boyond rocovery. Had this happened twentylive years ago, Mr. Beecher would have been dragged before au ecclesiastical tribunal for trial in less than a month after tbe accusations assumed a definite shape, and bad ho tried to preach before a trial be might bavo been mobbed. To day thero is scarcely a man or woman in America but hopes ho is innocent of any wrong, and tries to believe him so in spite of circumstantial evidence, confirmed by bis own course. His name is a precious household word. He has the sympathy of fifteen millions of people, wbo bend forward to save and blbss blm.

There is something almost sublime* in the spirit and attitude of the American people who refuse to condemn and degrade a great and useful man even if in some moment of temptation, or under tbe heat of an impulse only the strongest natures understand, ne did what he ought not—at least until compelled to do so by the necessities of the case. Tbey seethe terrible injustice of weighing a whole life |of unequalled serviceableness against a momentary infatuation, and throwing S5yearB of consecrated efforts for the highest ends utterly Sway for what may have been done in a fit ot frenzy. And if they condemn him at all, it will be for efforts to evado and conceal what should have been frankly acknowledged to bis own people at least, and his willingness to shield himself by allowing the innocent to suffer for his offense. 80 much bus justice gained. So vast tho increase ot charity. His greatest mistake has been in not trusting himself to a people who are proud of bis fame and jealous ot his reputation, by a courageous statement of facts when it was found that tbe air was full ot rumors and surmises. An ounce of sincerity is worth a world of ennning.

All that Mr. Tilton asks for himself, and ail his friends demand tor him, is jnstlce. He conceals nothing that duty to others, and natural delicacy of his manhood, does not require him to lock in his own breast. He had been^uilty of nothing but too great confidence in unworthy people, and mistakes of judgment that were prompted by an impul8ivn temperament and a warm, kind heart. The act for which be has been most severely blamed, was prompted by a desire to save and help others, and was done under tbe beat of a generous impolse, which made it impossible for him to count tbe cost to blmseir. He frankly confesses a mistake for which he has paid full dear. He asks neither toleration1 nor spmpathy, but simply for that, justice which is so natural to the hearts of tbe American people, and which in the long run tbey are sure to render to whoever confides in tbem, without ooncoalmeut gr double dealing.

A letter from Columbia, oil the educational interests ol South Carolina, says the present common school system of the Stale, as a system, is t»xcot*d ingly good, and although the money collected for school purposes has often been appropriated to corrupt usos, or squandered by Ignorant officials, the number of schools and BChool children has boon on tho Increase since the close of tho war.
