2 Congress. Where lies the responsibility for this deplorable state of things? Undoubtedly in our Jacobin radical Congress. For party purposes alone, and to perpetuate their politi- cal power, they are abolishing as fast as they can the constitutional powers and rights of the President. If we had not examples in history of the insane violence of extreme political par- ties such a state of things would seem incredi- ble in this republic. A party that endeavors to maintain Its power by destroying the Execu- tive, by violating the constitution, and through the support of the barbarous negroes, has reached the climax of folly and tyranny and is bound to destruction. Aotteries, Gift Enterprises a Lottery Policies, The lottery dealers and apeculators in New York and other parts of the country, but par- ticularly in New York, flourish like a green bay tree. They are as successful in evading the laws as the distillers, smugglers and traders in contraband whiskey, who have cheated the government out of more than a hundred millions of dollars. Indeed, they scem to make use of the laws very adroitly in order to violate them. Daniel O'Connell said once there never was an act of Parliament that he could not drive a coach and six through, and our lottery men have tne same ides, evi- dently, of the laws in this country. The country is flooded with lottery achemes of one sort or another. The regular professional lot- tery and gift enterprise fellows take advan- tage of the scl.emes set on foot by respectable persons for charitable or other praiseworthy objects. By imitating these as near as they could, the ewindlers have been enabled to evade the laws and the vigilance of the police. ‘These swindling concerns have flourished both last winter and this in an unprecedented manner. The question is, how is this evil to be remedied? Or is there any remedy? There evidently is great difficulty in legislating to prevent the ev.l; still something more could be done to check it. Now that the Legislature knows how the law is evaded by so-called gift enterprises and other subterfuges, it might provide for such indirect but palpable breaches of the luw. It would be better, in fact, to legalize lotteries and to let the State derive an income from them than to permit the present ,feoudulent practices to continue. That would be less demoralizing. But we eught not to go back to such a sysiom as existed years ago. Lotteries any way are an evil, and therefore we should find, if possible, some plan to stop them. The greatest diffculty fs in the law not being exe- cuted by the proper authorities. It is the same with the lott:ry evasions of the law as with the gambling houses, The large gambling estab- lishments which are breaking the law openly every day and night are never disturbed. Only now and then the small, insignificant ones are pounced upoa by the police, for the sake of making a show of vigilance and to draw attention away from the larger and richer hes, It is ensy enough to see the cause why the police do not interfere with these fashionable hells. They are coun- tenanced and many of them patronized by wealthy and influential men—men whom it would not be prudent or safe for the police to offend. So with lotteries called gift enter- prises. But there are o great many private so-called gift enterprises in the city which are used to palm off a vast amount of bogus jewelry and other trash upon simple people. These are not a whit better than the worst kind of mock auctions. They are clear vio- lations of luw. Still they thrive under the protecting shadow of the larger and more re- spectable gift concerns. Now, it is time the law should be executed impartially upon all, and if the existing law will not reach the case the Legislature should pass one that will. Won Suffrage in Arkansas. The Arkansas Reconstruction Convention (whites and blacks) have agreed upon a State constitution, the most preposterous feature of which is that which dis!ranchises not only all persons disfranchised by the acts of Congress, but while suvmitting the constitution to the vole of the people distranchises all who dare to vote ageinst it. This is the process by which Maximilian was made Emperor of Mexico by the unanimous voice of the Mexican people. There is another feature, however, of ‘his new constitution of Arkansas which ought at once to recall George Francis Train from ireland and set him to stumping the pioneer State for women’s rights as the candidate on that platform for the next Presidency. We _veter to the section which confers the right of suffrage not only upon loyal negro men, but upon the women, negroes and all, and makce them competent jurors. Atall events, to make sure of the ratification of this constitution on the basis of the law of Congress requiring a majority of the registered voters to participate in the election, on one side or the other, it will be necessary for Mrs. Cady Stanton, Miss Antoinette Brown and Miss Lucy Stone to pro- ceed without delay to Arkansas, in order to bring the negro women out to the polls. Otherwise this wonderfully progressive new constitution of Arkansas, like that of Alabama, may be lost The election will come off on | the 15th Mareh. Wao 1s Commanver-ts-Curmr '—The conflict | of authority in Washington suggests the ques- tion, who is really Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the United States—who has any authority over the officers in command of the different departments! Somebody must issue ordera, and these orders must be obeyed. Ac- cording to the constitution under which we were supposed to live the President of the United States was Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy. The Executive wae always 40 regarded and always exercised the privi- leges of his office in that respect. Now, how- ever, the President is ruled out and pronounced 40 have no constitutional rights whatsoever, Who, then, is Commander-in-Chief? Grant, Sherman, Lorenzo Thomas, Stanton, Ben Wade, Schuyler Colfax, Old Thad Stevens, Bingham of Ohio, or who! It ie a matter of some inte- rest to the country to know who is really in command of the army, and, for the matter of j bat, who to President.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. ‘The Rights of Naturalized German American Clr is Acknowledged by the Bund=Fi: Ye Residence in the Union Constitutes a Free American—Mivister Bancroft Signs the Treaty of Acknowledgment, Berwin, Feb. 22, 1868. The diplomatic negotiations of the Hon. George Bancroft, United States Minister at the Prussian Court, with the Cabinet of Berlin on the important subjects of the naturalization of Germans in Amer- ica and the rights of such naturalized citizens on their return to fatherland, have been brought to a very important issue aad crowned with suc- cess. The North German Bund as reconstructed agrees to fully recognize and accord al! the rights, exemption from military duty, &c., of native born Americans to Germans naturalized according to law as citizens of the United States after they have spent five years in the territory of the republic, The treaty to this effect, which Mr. Bancroft has been engaged on for some time past—as reported in the special written correspondence of the Herato from this city—in maturing has been ac- cepted by the authorities of Prussia and the North German Bund, and was duly attested aud signed by Mr. Bancroft, in his capacity of United States Minister, to-day. MEXICO. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD, The Sinaloa and Yucntan Rebelitons Not Ended=The Herald and Annexation—Geu- eral News, Havana, Feb. 21, 1868. The French mail steamer Impératrice Eugénie has arrived here from Vera Cruz with dates to the 18th iast. She brings news from the capital of Mexico to the 16th by telegram. The Mexican government has bought $170,000 worth of English convention bonds aud $317,000 of the debt at thirteen cents. The coach of General Porfirio Diaz was upset by some heartless scamp. The General was se- riously wounaed by the fall. General Sanchez Ochoa had arrived at the capital. General Sturm had left there for New York, Congress was wasting time in discussing the question of punishing traitors. Employment is denied the latter in the public service. Minister Romero has made his report on the finances. The American Legion of Honor are to get $300 each. They are leaving the capital singly. Colonel Proudtit and others of the Legion were on their way to Havana. The funeral of ex-President Comonfort took place at the capital on the 10th inst. There were false reports originated at the capi- tal that the New York Heraup advocated the partial annexation of Mexico to the United States. ig a week on the subject. The revolution in the State of Sinaloa has be- come serious and more troops have been sent to General Coroua. The rebels in Sinaloa number two thousand five hundred, and are within twenty miles of Mazatlan. While on their march thither they levied a forced loan of $70,000 on the firm of McIntosh, Culiacan. General Corona was at Mazatlan in command of the na- tional forces. Placido Vega is believed to be about joining the Indian General Lozada, who still remains neutral. General Negrete is quiet, but General Noriega is rampant. General Sturm leaves Mexico, but Mr. Tifft re- mains to settle their claims on the Mexican trea- sury. By the arrival at Vera Cruz of the steamer Tabasco, from Yucatan, we have advices from the peninsula to the 14th. The rebel- lion was not yet at an end. The insur- gents are reported as occupying Valladolid, Santa Cruz, Isamal and Bacalar, with 1,800 men and 150(?) canons. They would probably make a desperate defence at these points.

A Narrative of the Mexican Empire, 181-67, By Count Emile de Keratry. The author of this work writes with full knowledge of his subject, for be was onf of the prominent men who figured in tho insane attempt to establish an empire in Mexico, with the supromacy of the Latin race in the southern portion of this Continent, He was, as he says, nominated a member of the commission which was ap- potuted to proceed from Mexico to the chiiteau of Miramar to formally tonder the imperial eceptra to Maximitian, He knows, therefore, both the public and inside history of the Frouch intervention in Mexico, and of the events that transpired from the beginning to the end of thie nefarious and wicked scheme of forcing foreign monarchy upon an unwilling people, Though a Freuehman, or in the Fronch service, he has ven- tured to give to the world the damaging facts with regard to tho Emperor Napoloon’s project and tricky conduct to al! parties, beginning with the deception practised towards England and Spain in the firet steps of intervention, and ending with tho treachery towards the unfortunate Maximulian, Count Kératry snows that the inception of the inter- vention wi quasi hostility to the United States, or an effort (0 check the growing power of this country and the dominance of the Anglo-Saxoa or Auglo-American race over the American Continent. As early as January, 1961, ton months before the Convention waa signod by France, Spain and England, and while Juarez was still presiding in the capital of Mexico, Napoloon was con- spiring for his full, That ‘s, a 2000 as there was a pro- bability of civil war ta the United States, and an expoc- tation that this republic would be broken up, the French Emperor began to plot for establishing monarchy on our border and to carry out Lis Latim race programme. Indeed, Napoleon secretly offered the crown of Mexico to Maximilian shortly after the peaco of Villatranca and as soon as civil war was threatened in the United States, This author confirms ail that we said in the HeraLy over and over again about the hostility and intrigues against this gountry and republican institutions by the mon- archista of Europe, While the author gives to the United States the credit for being instrumental in break- ing up this Mexican-\mporiai and Tatin-race scheme of Napoloon, he seems to think it might Lave succeeded if it bad been better managed. He writes us @ Frencoman, and does not know the power of the Amortcan republic, ‘The Mexican empire was an impossibility, The South. ernors were agninst it as weilay U »pie of the North; aud no matter how our civil war might have ended, this Huropean intervention and monarchy could not stand. Count Kératry’s book ts, on the whole, tolerably impar- tial, and will prove intoresting as a history of the most dramatic incidents connscied wiih Che y.se and (all of the Mexican empire.
