PONTICS IN THE CAPITAL. ‘The sppearance of Santa Anpe in the political arena “took the Mexican world by surprise, and hts course in the United States is a myatory to all wave those ja tho Pot.

He bas pto- duced a consternation, if not a revolution in political cir- eles, unexpected and alarming, but whose chief effect has boon to strengthen the imperial cause, Craft is the most essential qualification for Moxican ‘statesmen,’ end in a small way they are tho cutest fellows in the world; bat Santa Anna has proved himself to be the peer of thom all, and bids fair to euchre the entire crowd. ‘He certainty possesses morits found tn no other Mexican leader, Ho has firmnoss to make himself the ruler of the ‘nation and not allow himself to be a puppet to be mani- puiated by dishonest ministers; nor did he allow pecula- tions among officials; all public plundering he did bim- @elf, but bold his subordinates to strict accountability, severoly punishing all rascality that did not bring money {ute his own purse. This pleased the people, it being Mere economical to be cheated by one public servant © than by two or three score, His opponents admit that ‘wader his rulo there was in tho aggregate less defrauding Of the treasury than under subsequent administrations, although Santa Anna was known to have accumulated ‘many millions whilst President and Dictator, In the meantime the tmperialsts and liberals continue aotive, but wary, and are becoming exceedingly close mouthed, so that littlo can be learned of the future movements of either party. Tho falluro to obtain tho guarnntoe of the United States to the proposed fifty mil- Non dollar loan proved to be a wet blanket to the liber- als, who built their expectations largely apon that guar- antes.
