PEACE IN WASHINGTON AND WRATH IN MEXICO, 1t tho nows from Mexico is to bo believed, there is wrath among the Groasers. The order of President IIaves is the causo of the froth aud fury. Tho Grensors swoar that the Yaukeo soldiers shall not cross the Rio Grando in pursuit of the thieving bandits. Thoey swear by all the gods thay will protect the cattle-stonlers who rob tha Toxas ranch- men and thew skedaddlo noross the river with their plander. Althongh tho Mexican Governmont has tried varions methods of keeping the in- flammable nowspapers quiet, it has not suc- cooded very well. Some of thom are sssailing the Dmz Government in the intorest of tho Rovolutioniats, and nearly all oppose nny action which would look townrds allomng United States troops to Mr, Dennis Kxansey, of Sau Francisco, moved upon and into the Whits ouso, in Washington, yesterday, and then moved out again, The dispateh giving an account of tho interview does not state whothor the grent Neformor passed aronnd his hator proposed s general **divvy " of the funds in the Treasury than and thare, hut it 18 ns- sorted that tho President took occasion to @ive his visitor & fow simple hinta in polit- | cross the frontler In pursait, of the ical cconomy, which, if properly pooled Ly | Grensor thieves, A fow cxwacts from Keanyzy, und iucorporated in some future | somo of tho more moderate papor speecl, will sorve mote fo oulighten Lis audicnces than all the blasphemous rant wver indulged in by that individual, will show how prevalent this sentimout is. ‘The Monitor Ilepublicano, aun independent papor, declares tlat the right assunied by onr Goverumont s inndmiasible, and - snys: “Mexico will nover consont to authorize sucl a liberty, which, bealdesbeing humiliat- ing nud discroditable, would ba the cause of dangorons complications that wonld at cach moment jmperil the peaco betweon the two uations.” The Federalisla saya: *‘Wo are right in announcing that the questions with the United Btates aro becoming complicated, that wo are throntened by a great publio daugdr, that there is reason for the public alarm, and that the fears of the public are incrensing.” Tho Libertad, which supports the Govornment, says: “‘The intention to injare us oxists, the danger is daily bocoming mare imminent, and, as wellas we can under- atand, nover since 184G lave we passed through such & critioal period, nor have we soon over our hoads o cloud more-pregnaut with electricity. If it muat be, let tho pall of desth cover tho land,” 'The Combate has this nasertion: ** Gen.

Theso various straws would secw to indi. cato that the wiud iu Boxico is blowing towanls war, aud that o pressure has been bronght to buar upou tho Draz Governinent whicli may compel it either to declure war when our troops cross the froutior, ot to stop down oud vut in favor of the Lerdists, who are uot only entl:uslastically but ferocions. ly in favor of war. The crazy agitators arc all the wore outépoken and desporate n their demand becauss they fancy they aro better armed and drilled than they were in 1816, und bocsuse thoy cherish the delusion that in case of a war the South would rise and strike for independence ogainst the Union, Itis mot probable, however, that the Gov- crument of the United Btates will pay sny attention to the buzzing of thess mosuitoes.

In New Ocleans the death.raty is still iucreusing, uud, however much tho Gronsers mny object. cnn oitizons without taking any steps to pre- vent it. The attention of that Govornment has been called to it repeatedly, but no ef- fort has been made to stop it, whatever fac- tion hns been in power, and now the Rirong- ost Governmout Mexico has cver had delib- crately confosaon jta inability to prevent these raids. Our Governmont has been pationt aud long mffering, and has endurod a hun. drad times more than any otlier nation on enrth wonld have done under stch cirenm< staucea. For infinitoly less offenses, En- gland, Rnsain, Austria, and Germany havo rapoatedly not only chastised Lordering peo- ple, buttakon their territory away fram them. 'The only criticism ™ now that ean ba made upon onr policy is, that it is too leniont.

VANDERBILT'S POOLING IDEAS, VanpeupiL has ovidontly renchod o deffor. ant conolusion abont the managumoent of rait. ronds from o practical polutof view than that Mr. Apank recontly roachiod from thoori ziug, The latter concluded that wo ars now in an ern of rallrond combination, and ¢x pressed the opinion that this is the trne reedy syainst railrond nbuses under Goverument aupervislon, Porlinps so; bLut Vaspes. vivr belleves in comblnation without Gov. crument suporvision, or In fact auy other routraint thou that which the railroad man. agors k00 it to ngres upon mnong theut. sclves, always with tho resorvation that thoy way individually oat under it provided they are not fdund out; whtn they are found out, the coimblnation i1 Lroken for the time, and tho railroads relapso into thewr formor cut-throat practices. It will bo no. ticed that Vanounvier’s idon of compe. titon {8 a very different oune from that entertained by Apass; bug the former is anxious to persunde the shipping publio that bis pool mny bo im. plicitly trustod to deal fairly und equitably by the pooplo. If this wora the first rail. road pool that had cver been formed in Aucrica, Vaxprnoier’s assurances would Lave moro weight, The publio wight then wolcomo it with somu satisfaotion in know. that it was on ¢nd to discriminations and re. Latos which placo one set of shippers ata disadvantage in relation to unother set; it wiyht breed confidoncs that the rates would theuceforth yield the roads u fair profit on their Lusiness; and that producurs and ship- pers wighg make their contracts and pro- ceed with (heir business on a sure basis for that cost of transportation. Therv is one little circumstauce which is calculated to dissipate thig voseata view of Vanpes. mLT's pool, and it is that no one of the pools that bave gono bofore hay produced tho glorious rosults which Vaxvxroiwy predicts for the present combiuation. A wors philosophio oousideration of Vasvenniet's new pool is that it i very auch like all its forerunners in conception sud purpose. VANDEuuILT found him- self iu @ position to take the lead in o new lenst nntil it is esrried forward to success, Tho Moexican Governmont has allowed its thioves to crosa the Rio Grandoe for yeara into Texns and atenl the property of Anjori- connections, on East and Weat freight. ia expected, nilroad.runners ara not obliged to break their necks in order o get business, and the compnnies can got a Inrger share of the producer dividing profits from tho American by combining on ratea and the busincss than they enn by bidding against each other. ‘That is the common.sonse view of tho inatter, and when Vaxoraniet makea any pretenso that ho is nctuated by any special rogard for the public interest, ho argimes an opera-bouge character which may Lo funny, but which the peopls must pay for nll the same, It may be that the new combination will bo wise enough mot to indulgo in very ex- cessivo chargen whilo navigation is open ; but whon water competition is ont of the wny for the wintor senson, Vaxpxnnirnr's pool will bo phenomanal if it shall not develop the same greed that bas been charncteristic of all similar combiuntions. Indeed, there is ovidence from the vory beginning of a dls- position fo take ndvantage of the pnb- lic wherever it can Lo dons safoly. Thus tho increnso of 60 per cont in the rotes on cut-ments over those on live-stock is n trick of the pool to play inte the hauds of tle monopoly kuown as tha “Evenors.” 1tis intonded to increasa tho shipment of live-stock, which s controlled ontirely by tho ** Eveners” on account of the special focilitios oxtonded them by the raile ronds. The excuso for favoring the ** Even. ors " liw beeu that, by moans of their con- trolling the shipmont of live-stock, the prac- tico of cutting rmtes hins beon stopped on this clnss of froight. Tut if the pool is to boan honest one, then thera is to ba no cutting of ates any way, nud there is no longoer any excuse for malutnining o parasite so injuri- ous to the shipping pnblic”as the *Even. ors,” and wuch less renson for discriminating in their’ fasor by making such rates on slaughtered animaly as to forco the lhifixmnt of live auimais at the moroy of the *Evens , era.” Vaspensiur geoms {0 bo nwaro that ho will not ba eredited with any vast amaunt of public spirit in this matter, and hence ho wecks to show that ho has o selfish mtcrest in donling fairly by the public. His argumont is that he does nol want to competo with bankrupt ronds, and henca desires that all raflrond business shnll bé dono at living rotes. But the experionco of tho public has boon that it farcs butter at tho hands of so- cnlled *bankeupt” ronds; theso nre rail- rond companios with tho water squeczed ont of their stock, and they aro content to earn o fnir interest on their prosent actunl value, Now tho sooner this rule shall bo appliod to all tho milronds in the country, tho botter aud falrer it will Lo for the publio; Lut VanpznniLr'ssehiome isconfessedly to pravent tho public from reaching that basis in the cano of all roads which are not yet in the Lnnds of a Receiver. If Vawpenpmr's ool is like the proeggling pools of tho samo charactor, Chiengo will suffer expeginlly from its operation; for no sooner sholl lake compotition be shut off than tho pool will pile on tho rates, and grain and produce will soek an outlet’ b 'tho Mississippt to the ex. tont that it wnay be practicable, In viow of this contingency it fs just as well for Chi- cago peoplo to remember that Vanoex. niLy hos nssnmed the respensibility; be is Just now onjoying tho eclut of Lis new com.- bination, and ho should bear the odium when it coues, ; W, Disnaect’s organ, as Mr, Gravstoxe ealls the London 7{mes, has assumed to speak for Cauadn ou the question of reciprocity with the United Btates.

Tho question of Freo Trode and Protection, next to tho burn. ing problems of genutlexions and atlquette thrust upon the Couucks in anticipation of the arvival of the Marquls of Logne aud his Royal-blood wife is now uppermost in Cana. dinn polities.
