Again, in one case the Street Commissioner says there has been no such man asthe plaintiff employed by this department; in another, that no such contract waa ever made as the one claimed to have been inspected; that no such work was done at the time for which the inspector claims remuneration for his services, and that other parties had really done the work and were paid for it. After stating these few facts it is unnecessary to ask where the public money goes. The News from Mexico—Disgraceful Conduct of the British Minister—Juarez’s Only Hope. We give eleewhere to-day full and interesting details of the news from Mexico, The civil war in that republic is rapidly degenerating into» war of anarchy and mutual butchery that is a disgrace to the age. The slaughter of prisoners and innocent victims by the centralists at Tacu- baya is the most disgustin, narrative it bas been our duty to publish tora long tiie, and the murder of the surgeons, whose only mission in war is to mitigate the sufferings of its vic- tims, gives to the picture a peculiarly Spanish air of barbarity. We regret that we cannot say that one at least of the contending parties is free from this barbarous blemish. But such is not the case. In several instances the federalists have shot their prisoners, and perhaps have pro- yoked the present horrible retaliation. Not that we believe that President Juarez, or his Cabi- net, or Governor Zamora, sanction this brutal warlare. Where they are such barbarous scenes do not occur. Yet so litle under their control are the partisans fighting in their name, in maay parts of the country, that their merciful orders are unheeded. But there is yet a higher responsibility before the civilized world than that of the Mexican party leaders that must be called to an account, Mons. Gabriae und Mr. Otway, the French aud British Ministers in Mexico, are well kuown to sympathize actively with the priest ridden gov- | ernment of Miramon, and yet they have lifted neither hand nor voice to stity the slaughter of the innocent. Mr. Otway,’ it is true, did save one English boy, at the urgent request of the Ameriean Consul, Mr. Black; bat farther than this he declined to go. And now that the bu- mane American Consul is expelled from Mexico, the British Minister refuses to extend to our citi- zens the usual international comity ef assumiug the official representation of their interests be- fore the government io whom he is accredited. Kither Mr. Otway is crazy or every Ariglo- Saxon sentiment is curdled in his, heart. Ue is unworthy to represent the civilized govern- ment of England. and we call upon that government to administer to him a severe re- ouke. He bas proved himself to be no Briton, aud we should be glad to leara that he was uot born on English soil, Such sentiments as his belong to the Iberian, and not to the Saxon race. As for Mexico, we have long since recorded | our belief in regard to her. She is worn out. Disorganization and decay are the laws that now Anarchy and fratrividal strife are her destiny until she is reinvigorated with new blood. Thatshe can get only from the young and vigorous race that dwells in these States. If Miramon and the church party suc- eceds she may obtain it feom us by conquest, for he has already declared virtual war against us. But such a result implies the extermination of the liberal spirits that are now battling against him, and this would leave little in Mexico wor- thy of invigoration. To avoid such a misfortune President Juarcz must obtain an American con- tingent force. We want no filibustering, and he must therefore make a treaty with our govern- | ment by which American officers and citizens | may lawfully enter into his service without in- fringing the neutrality laws. Let him then seek the righé class of military leaders amongst us, and he will get the right class of followers. He must avoid the Walkers, the Lockridges and all the rest of the filibuster emall fry, and take men who have something to lose as well as to win in going to Mexico. Then he will succeed in re- constructing society and government in Mexico, and re-establishimg its liberties. But until he does this he will not succeed. He may hold Vera Cruz—he may drive the church militant out of the capital—but that docs not pacify Mexico. It is strong, it is full of life, and it will take to the fields and fastnesses of the land, and from there wage a guerilla warfere against the government, con- suming ils resources in futile marches and barren victories, as the federalists are now consuming those of Miramon. Whe Reform Question in England—The Ap- proaching Elections. By this time the new writs have been issued for the Parliamentary elections in Great Britain. Viewed in reference to the question which has Jed to the dissolution, it may be supposed that the struggle will be limited to that issue. This, however, is a mistake, for the points of difference between the government Reform bill and the scheme of Lord John Russell, as it is forcsha- dowed to us, are not of so vital a character as to engage very warmly the public feeling on either side. If the contest were confined to the merits of these two measures we should probably wit- ness but little excitement attending it. The English reformers have long since lost faith in whig professions, and the political programmes of the party when out of office have paseed into a byword of contempt. The Derby government hare profited by the fact to go to the country on a false issue. They know well that on any quos- tion connected with Parliamentary reform the popular distrust of the two parties is about equal. ‘The result would be different were the Reform. bill of Mr. Bright made the test with the consti- tuencies. In that the popular demands are gatis- fied to the point where prudence steps in to dic- tate moderation. The measure, it is trne, effects sweeping changes in the electoral system, but they are alterations which may be conceded without endangering the existing relations of the different classes. The time, however, has not as yet arrived to push this measure forward with a reasonable hope of success. It will require a tory and one or two whig failures in the same direction to give it the impetus necessary to carry it through both houses. It will not, therefore, be made a leading question at the approaching clec- tions, ita supporters wisely reserving it for the subject of a direct appeal to the country. We believe that both tories and whigs will be somewhat put out in their caleulations as to the test question at the elections, The issue will not be, as they suppose, on Parliamentary reform, but on the foreign policy of the country. With the Britich people, but more particularly with the | all absorbing question of this kind to enable the | will be commenced on Seturday oext with the democratic portion of them, the war quostian now overshadows all other considerations. ‘They forget their own waats In the strong political sympathies evoked by the condition of Italy and its downtrodden aad miserable popu- lations, and they will uo lovger allow those sympathies to be ignored or trifled with, This feeling the leaders of the two great Sections of the aristocracy who are now atrugeltag for power have overlooked. They ceciare that the treaties of Vienna must be maintained, and that the iron rule of Austria over Lombardy is nol to be loosened. Neither will they give help or encou- | ragement to the efforts of iho Italians to secure constitutions! government for themselves, and thus the masses in Kygland are condemned to remain silent spectators of struggles with which they feel a deep and heartfelt rymputby. This is not a state of things to be patiently borne with by afree and high-spirited people like the English, They may allow themseives to be led by the aristocracy up to a certain point, but when their sense of justice and philan- thropy is outraged by party selfiehness they | will chow them that they are not to be made | passive tools of. Such, we anticipate, will be the feeling which will decide the result of the uext elections. The quertion put to} candidates on the husticgs will not hej whether they are in favor of any particular mes- sure of Parliamentry reform, but whether they are prepared to svpport a government which will aid France in giving constitutional instite- tiona to Italy. Waatever may be the ulterior designs attributed to Louis Napoleon, the Eugtish liberals lock upon him as the main instrament by which that object can be effected. They rea- eon, and with justice, that the necessities of Lis own position at home may render him sincere in his professed desire to procure for the Italians the reforms which they stand ia uecd of, but that even admitting such not to be the case, he can- not render their position worse than it is at pre- sent. In gay event, they nat the support of England, if it be frecly and fraukly bestowed, will operate as a check upon aay ambitious pro- jects that he may entertain. Withotit examining how far these presamp- tions are well founded, it is impossible to deny that they exist, aud that they will exercise a powerful influence in the approaching elections, The aristocractic parties are so completely ae; | inoralized that it requires but an exciting aud radicals to obtain an easy victory over taem. From the direction in which things have heen drifting for some time past it would seem as if important changes were at hand. The old party machinery has been worn ont, and the goyern- ment of the aristocratic classes must either suf- fer the affairs of the country to decline or rein- vigoraie itself by the infusion of popular biood. The Italian question may prove the starting point from whcace this work of recenstraction is | to commence. Opening of the Anniversary Epoch. The anniversary celebrations of the various religious, benevolent and reform associations meeting of the American Baptist I'rce 1 Society, which is the early bird that Gopes to have the first bite atthe Wall slrcet worm. These anniversaries have o thi They are very useful to certain spinet ladies, who are much edi 1 pious tations of brethren who have jow ed to £ lands and performed the Lord’s work with 1 or less success—generally less, While lis! to the eveniful history of a hrother who has rowly escaped being served up asa lenne Louche for some New Zeuland disuer party, or had a sharp tussle with an Indian Vhug or a'Bedouin of the desert, the very spectacles of the pour old souls become moist with the animation tuat heaves their gentle hearis, It is the Moor and Desdemona over again, especially when the bro- | ther is a little off color. Again, the anniversary affords a fine opening for pulpit eloquence, The sensation preacher, like the sensation novelist, saves his grand effects for extraordinary occasions, and thea makes the best of them. A good anniversary audience is the best that clergymen of this class can obtain, and it is likewise valuable to sucking theologi- anus who have not been honored with a call to save the provincial soul, but who are living, like young doctors and lawyers, on hope and credit. The grand object of all, however, for the managers, is the aggregation of cash. The seecre- taries’ reports are looked for with the great- est anxiety, and the testameniary devises of some wealthy brother deceased are hailed with great acclaim. In Catholic countries, when a rich sinner dies he leaves a certain eum to pay for prayers for the repose of his soul, and he al ways gets his moneys’ worth for money paid. By asirange inconsistency, however, the dying Protestant Dives bequeathes his money for the saving of somebody’s sou! at the other end of the earth. Logically, the Roman church would seem to have the right of the matter. the Angli- can the wrong. The Roman chureb hay 9 regu- | lar tariff—so many prayers at somuch each: but the Anglican takes all the money it cau get, | gives no receipt, makes no account, This year the anniversary managers have no cause to complain. The total receipts of ail the societies, from all sources, will overran two mil- lions of dollars, aud may go up to two and a balf millions. How many heathens will be coa- verted with this money, how many backsliders brought back to grace, we caunot say. It is easy, however, to estimate the number of poor aud pious relatives of the managers it will pro- vide with those material articles, roast beef and bread and butter, which even religious ascetics find necessary to the proper developement of the faith. The itews of salaries, print- ing good books «nd distributing the same, | stationery, postages, office rent and attend- ance, with mysterious “contingent” and “incidental” exitrics, make up in many cases ihe | better part of the money expended. Of course the reply to this is that the Bible expressly says that “the laborer is worthy of his hire,” aod that those who work in the Lord’s vineyard thould be paid as well as those who strive for Satan. But this is oppose: to the command of our Saviour to the Apostles, and quite contrary to the practice of the early missionaries. We do not read that when Paul journeyed from Damas- cus to the Joely City, thence to Cesarea, and then to Tarsus, and in Gentile lands to Cypris and Athens and Rome, that there was any col- lection taken up to pay his expenses, or that an- niversary operetions were commenced by the brethren, who, when the Greeks went about to slay him, brought him down io Cesarea, The labors of well fed and secarely honsed priests will not certainly be so eifective as those who struggled against want and persecution. This is proven by the facta. We have lately read the accounts of the operations of a sociewy which in * feventeen: yoars’ operations brought fiv to redeeming grac,.

There iv a separate Know Nowbing faction which bas thus far stood out @ open hostility to a fusion with the republicans, but ibe buik of the Masencbusetts Nati have fv. cd, thus constituting what may be properly eolled a republican-American party. The origi- nai noivertal test of the Know Nothiags was x | twenfy-one years naturalization law; so that this oposition of a seven years teria of probatior se little as these Natives could now be expee: ed to ask, “But the restriction thus pr posed in Massachusetts has awakened tb, indignation of the great Germea eleme , cf the republican party from Maine to Minr ra and republican committees, meet'ngs, oray > and organs in various quarters have sent » their earnest remonstrances io their brethrem i Maseachueetts against the admission of 1, treacherous gift from the Greeks within the wa ot Troy. Among the latest of these remoustrances } one from a nomber of leading republicans of New York, iscluding James *Kelly, chairman of the Staie Central Committee; Robert Emmet, Charles King, Horace Greeley, George W. Bloat, R. M. Bletehford and Sim caper. In this yemonstauce the signers confess, the dyngera to the republican party threatened by this aativistic preposition in Massacinwetts, aud put forth the fo}lowing as the party platfora:— The genine of ow Jeguslats dt reeks t tponeible Voters, aot in careless ce soower residents can fairly b tbe greater Whe saiety to "6 as Laat avoy i ibey divide the peopl into classes; they | exolte hatreds; whey furnish méang of which the uaseru- palous Iradera aad p 3 of the proglavery democracy seek to ¢ great republican cause the boueas aud inte reign bern vows, WhO almost Loa ram hate slavery and love freedox. ‘Sd.

Until theée are recompliehed, the republican party will sink all minor questions, wili Know no differences, and will (we beiieve) set ‘te face against any man or mon who mey keck to create dissension or to raise distracting ie sues, Therefore, these New York remonstzants urgr upon their “ friends fn Massachusetts and ever) where, to keep this high purpose steadily | view, and as republicans to make no allian, and take no step to excite distrust, which she hinder the suecezs of our goed cause.” Th vote upon the restriction in question will deter mine one of two things—it will cither cut o! the Know Nothings, tenacious of some new suf frage restriction against aliens, or the bulk off the great German vote of the Norih aud Nori weet from the. republicun camp. But as the rump ot the Know Nothing party bas become! excecditgly weak, and as this German yote re} red to is kuown to be compact, siroug aad’ teusitive, we incline to the opision that tho republican party of Massachusetts will sacrifice: the former to save the latter, But the question is a nice ove, and the resul upon this Massachusetts umendmeat will go fi to settle the question of the fusion, or confusi¢ between the republicans and Kaow Nothings all the Northern States. In view of the reje tion of the amendment, the believers in the pri. ciples of Know Nothingism must surrender a discretion, or proceed at oncc in Muassachuset and all other Northern States to some basis of third party organization, whercby they may fa. with the opposition elements of the South. T! result in Massachusetts will tell the story, and the Native Americans are not required to mal, room in the republican church for the German we ave very much mistaken.
