Twelve more generala shot; Escobedo cle- vated to the supreme command of the army— as the type, doubtless, of a national hero—and a hot scent at the heels of Marques and O’Horan, that the blood hunger may still be fed! Such is the summary of @ day’s news from the triumphant republic. And these are the acts of a government especially lauded as the only one that can give tranquillity to the nation; the only one that has the sympathy of the people; the government composed of those Mexicans said to be most worthy of general respect. In this we seo that the government which is the choioo of tho people, sq far as choice can go in that country, and which all men having knowledge of Moxico seem to regard as the best government she can get—this government no sooner feols safe in its place, possessed of absolutely supremo power, than it gives itself up to acts that the whole reasoning world, outside of tho imme- Aiate local pools of passion, regards with dis- may and horror. If in the bighor sphere of Mexican lifs we find this, what shall we find lower down? If they whose office it is to con- trol the nation cannot control themselves; if men who are chosen that their wisdom may moderaic tho violence of nature in a whole people are only the more conspicuous in frenzy and leaders in acts that outrage the decency of the world, it would hardly be just to ex- poct aught but tho extremity of demoralization in the mas There is, indeed, no tone in the natio’ no high manly character; no mordle t guide iv id tue wacu path Uf hag to ossession of better endowed racos—that tom- rict justice with mevey and regulate ab- zht by a rule of practical propriety. are as their unila mulliplied in other sis than ia numbers. Where tho indt- al man renks high in tho rac6, Is bold, ins ent an’ qeoply consciows of a moral responsibility before his fellows, there the na- tion commands its” position among the great ones of the world; and, on the contrary, where a people are degraded and depraved, 80 tuat they scarcely havo individual vitality, there the nation is barely to be trusted with iis own desti And Mexico seems, in the light Es by those instinelive perceptions—the Mexico and the United Statea have each re- cently passed through a great struggle not un- like in some points; and how differently have the two peoples borne themselves! Mexico fought for her existence asa nation, her constitutional government sustaining a fight that often seemed desperate against an opposing parly of Mexicans supported by foreign forces, Her goverament adhered to {ls cause with admira- ble tenacity. One of the worst features in the case was the barbarity with which the soldiers of the nation wore treated. by the adverse party when taken, Yot against all efforts the governntent strove on, succeeded, and at length saw its right and authority admitted through- out the land. That hour of happy triumph seems to have softened no hearts, but hardened all. It was employed in the choice of victims; andin the hour sacred to liberty men were slaughtered aa if that fair deity, like an ancient Moloch, had pleasure only in bloody sacrifices, Admit that they had the right to kill Moxi- milian, was it wise to exercise if? Miramon and Mojia bad justly forfeited their lives; but is it dizereet to teach the people the low of re- ialiation and absolute justice at such a time? or must it bo admitted that instruction loss bloody would be lost? Here in the United States also the struggle against opposing forces was for life. ftsvas so desperate, eo main- tained on either side that, in point of carnage, the whole Mexican war might be compre- hended in some one of our batiles. Indeed, we had an even deeper cause of exasperation than Mexico in the treatment of our prisoners; for who will say (hat the murders committed by the French and imporialists on Mexican patri- ots were not surpassed by the atrocities of Libby and Andersonville, those shambles of toriuring death? But when the struggle was over, when the last battle was fought, the killing was ended. It was the wise judgment of the whole people to require no man’s life—to require only that he should acknowledge the victorious principles and obey the law. Here the people felt that they had a noble cause to sustain and that inhumanity would weigh heavier on those who practised it than on those who suffered. Indeed, we followed this so far that we even made fools of ourselves in letting the head traitor slip through our fiagers with- out securing a judicial recognition of his crime and fixing fis banishment, as we should hare done; but this was a failing on virtue’s sido, and the whole ease together points clearly the distinction between a people with and one without national morale. The Mooted Removal of the Five Com. manders. It is intimated with some persistency that Mr. Jonson will relieve the commanders of tho five military districts and oppoiat other generals to their places, Thore is no doubt that he has full control over these gentlemen, as thoy are part of the army, and so can get round the evident intention of the law. There is a party of agitators in Washington who urge him in this matter, and desire nothing so much as the excitement such a step would cause and the chance that excitement would give of forcing extreme measures. If Mr. Johnson de- sires to gratify these worthies he will take this last possible step ; but it is scarcely necessary to say that he could do nothing more unwise or impolitic than to remove from such im- portant positions men who have the full reapect and confidence of the nation and of Congress. Withia a few days we expect to receive our news from and tho other West India islands by Way of the cable which is now being laid between that island and Key West, The advantages to the commercial world of this telegraphic line will be readily compreheaded, Lines will, doubtless, next be established be tween Cuba and the islands of Jamaica and Hayif, and next under the Mexican gulf to Vera Cruz, in connection with the elty of Mexico, and under the Caribbean ses to As- pinwall, in conneotion with Panama.

P. On the arrival of Mr. Cave in this country the Hzratp gave a sketch of his services in Parliament as a hard-working membor of tho party of English reformers headed by John Bright. Although a sturdy radical in politics, Mr. Cave is personally intimate with leading members of Lord Derby’s Cabinet, and, in par- ticular, with Mr. Disraeli, In the financial world he holds an eminent position like that formerly held in England by Hudson, the Rail- way King, and by Sir Morton Peto, during their palmiest days, and that held here by George Law and Cornelius Vanderbilt. He has been connected as member or director with forty-two financial establishments in Eng- land, which have all proved remarkably suc- cessful. Sir Morton Peto and hia gay and festive party, who, not long ago, whirled through the United States in a cloud of gold dust, broke down after their return home. Not less than five million pounds sterling of debts and liabilities are said to have been in- volved in tie great bankruptcy case of Peto, Botts and Crampton. But tho solvent ea'ab- lishment with which Mr, Cave was connected survived, and now seem determined and roady to cary out their plains with greater vigor than ever. The financial panic which over- a uis friends was faial to many companies and individuals. Thoy went under with a less of ab least two hundred millions. An immenso amount of capital was thus liberated in England. Money can now bp ¢asily had for tvo and a half, ant i? Offered in the open market at one anda lf par ean Te To-=-~ the pavylgion * Dat pew. CONE Ls enmec tier + Eee as bean sill more start Ta both France and Eughind i is, finaneiatly, low water ailor a storm. To collect the precious capital now afloat, and to turn it to new and grand uses at home and abroad, is {ho ambition of Mr. Cavo and other influential flaancters. They aro fa- miliar with the incalculable resources of the United Siates, of which Sir Morton Peto pub- lished so glowing an account in o lively nar- rative of his American tour, Mr. Cave par- ticularly has made the United States the subject of special and thorough study. His intelligent and friondly interest in American affairs has been evinced by his speeches in the House of Commons as well as by his recent dinner speech at Washington. Having visited this country as one of four members of Parlixment appointed to investigate tho condition of the Atlantic and Great Westorn Railway, he is now on his way to make a peraonal inspection of that great road. Since his arrival he has boon busily engagod in mastering all the details of that enterprise, together with the details of other important railway interosts, directly or indirectly connected with it. He is in consul- tation with certain capitalists with reference to & project for building a new branch. to the At- lantic and Great Western Railway, co 28 to save the travelling community much time and ex- pense, by shortening the distance to St. Louis over a hundred miles. The visit of Mr. Cave to this country will doubt!e-s facilitate and increase the investment of English capital in American railway enterpriss, and favorably affect the finanvial interests of both England and the United States, fr. the French Cham. Tho Mexican } b The recent debate in the French Chambers on the Mexican expedition, which we printed in fall in yesterday’s issue, abundantly justifies the views which the Heratp has again and again expreased. The speeches of MM, Thiers and Favre not only echo our sentiments, but exceed in severity the worst we have ever said of that ill-starred offspring of impo- rial folly. “It is truth—it is history!” ox- claimed several voices at the conclusion of ono of the most telling portions of M. Thiers’ ad- dress, The exclamation, we hesitate not to say, will be endorsed at the present moment by nine-tenths of the intelligent portion of man- kind. The historical indictment so admirably drawn up by Thiers was spoken to and applied with amazing force in the subsequent address of M. Favre. The result of the debate, so far as it has gons, hag hoen to exhibit the world the a folly, not to day wicked- ness, of the ¢ ition from the oniaet, and to bring that folly and wickedness, if you will, home to the chief of the State and his irrespon- sible advisers. We do not exaggerate when we day that the blow which has been dealt at Napoleonism by this debate has been crushing and painful. Nothing like it has happened since the commencement of the emp‘re. The severity of the s'roke, too, must be the more keenly felt by the Emperor, that he very wil- fally and very unnecessarily furnished the oo- casion. He has himself, and only himeelf, to blamo if members have at last broken silence and freely canvassed the merits of imperialism. Tt is long since we said that Mexico might prove the Moscow of the second empire. The comparison was too obvious not to strike other minds, It must have been present to the mind of M. Thiers when he mildly likened the Mexican expedition to the wars in Spain under Napoleon; but be is to be pardoned if in the circumsiances he did not venture upon so much boldness. The opinion which we expressed at tho outset of that expedition is our opinion still. Nothing has occurred to induce us to change fi, and at the present moment we are more encouraged to hold to it than ever. We have no desire to dwell upon the fearful sacri- fice of money and of men which the expedition has involved. We would even be silent re- garding the fate of the heroio but misguided and unfortunate Maximilian. These are now things of the past, Their fruit, however, ro- mains. No one is more fully alive to this trath than Napoleon himself. He has done with the Mexican expedition—that is to say, he droams no more of creating « Latin empire out of Indians and half-breeds, thinks no more about counterchecks to Anglo-Saxon ogress, and ig sick of ea » But he bes bot one with the regulls of that expedi- tion. He has not done with MM, Thiers and Favre and the millions of Frenchmen of whose views they are but the exponents. He has wot done with the machinations of republicans, Orloanists, logitlmists—all of whom will take advantage of this Moxioan blunder to work out mds, He has not done with the Pion of a loworiag reputation for wisdom and lnviacibility among the nations of Europe.

Success is a noces- sity of bis position, Another suoh failure—tf, indeed, another be necessary—and France will cease to worship and Europe to fear. The liberty of speech in which deputies are indulging is all the more startling and signifi- cant that war, in the estimation of many, both in and out of France, has already become a necessity of the empire. Notwithstanding the shining front which France has boen present- ing to the world, it is not impossible that her future historian may have to point to the year 1867 as a turning point, if not some'hing moro serious, In the carser of the second empire. Presidential Muddle in New Jersey. At a Republican Union State Convention at Trenton on Tuesday last resolutions were adopted in favor of impartial suffrage and in support of Congress; but a resolution in favor of General Grant for the next Presidency, togother with a resolution on Maximilian, was laid on the table, This shows that over in Jeraey they do no} know the difference between live mon and a deal man.

In {bo turm~. 3 is wet Which has atten.*4 the «conch intervention in Mexico thore has been a perfoot swarm of speculators pressing the republic and the empire for salable conces- sions. Some parties, with a keen eye to politi- onl changes, shoved through thé California job, and got a concession of tho whole of the Lower California poninsula, by paying down@ small amount in gold to help support tho Mexican Minister at Washington; for at that time the republic could not furnish sufficient money to keep ita representative from starv- ing. On tho sido of the empire Maximilian was besieged by @ host of concession vampires. He extended the Tehuantepec grant, created a Mexican express company, gave, in common with Juarez, railroad privileges, until the country was so cut up with linos that it threatened to be all railroad. English, French and Germans vied with each other at the impe- rial court, and tho American hangers-on of the emp're backed them up. [via now time for the Mexioan republic to commence anow ; it should burn up all the papors that exist in the country relative to Lower Catifornia jobs, express jobs, Tehuantepec jobs, and all the other concessions that help tangle up Mexican politios. » ADDITIONAL FROM MEXICO, SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD.
