The following mail telegrams from Constantinople explain a little more fully than our cable report the nature of the reforms advocated by the Sultan of Turkey:— CONSTANTINOPLE, May 14, 1868, ‘The Sultan opened in person to-day the Council of State at the Porte and delivered an address, The Ministers presented reports on the situation of Baile works and of the army and proposed several In order to facilitate the despatch of the generat business outside, four sub-prefectures of police have enh ead a8 well as @ system of correctional CONSTANTINOPLE, May 17, 1868, The address made by the Sultan to the Council of State was marked by an eminently liberal spirit.

MEX100 Ciry, May 10, 1868, ‘The past week has been one of festivity to the en- tire people, The 5th of May veing the anniversary of the “so-called” defeat of the French on their first appearance before Puebla in 1862, has been duly celebrated in truly Mexican style. On the 4th of May the remains of Zaragoza, who hap- Pened to be the commander of the liberal forces within that fortified city, were transferred to the cemetery known as the “San Fernando,” whither not long since were removed the remains of Comon- fort and also Miramon—friends in death, though enemies in life, and where lle Degollado, Ocampo and Scores of others who during the last half of a cen- tury have figured upon Mexico's bloody carpet. Atedious military cortége gave a solemnity to the occasion and assisted in impressing it upon the hearts of all classes, that to die for Mexico was per- haps more fortunate than to live and hope to serve the nation. The press announce that a committee of identification of the remains were appointed, who were as follows:—Generals Garcia, Barriozdbal, Marl- ana Riva Palacio, Don Gabriel Islas and Abraham Olivera. The gentlemen found the body in good state of mummification, even his spectacles being still held in proper position by their gold bows. The lens over the left eye was broken, clothing tolerably Preserved, while the “Mexican eagle” on the buttons of his uniform was as brilliant and as “rampant” as during the life of the wearer. The eulogy upon Zaragoza was pronounced by ex-Minister Iglesias, who dwelt upon his private and public virtues and upon his military life and fortunes, and “General Zaragoza” has be. come a fixed star in the firmament of Mexico's daz- zling glory. So much is said in praise of this mili- tary chief as the Victor over French prowess that we were almost convinced that the world has com- mitted an error in placing at the head of the list of warriors the names of Alexander, Napoleon and Wellington. Of course the friendly relations which exist between the United States and France would not permit such an indiscretion as our representative taking part in the glorification over the French, and for that reason I presume Mr. Plumb was not present. Mexico had the day entirely to hersel. On the 6th of May the rejoicing commenced with an artillery salute at daybreak, and was repeated at intervals during the day. At the hour of ten a pro- cession, led by the President, Cabinet and members of Congress, and in which the military and several civic societies were represented, proceeded to the National theatre, at the end of Fifth of May street, and the Alameda, or public park of the capital, where eul and glorifying orations were de- be the following See oe 8 — Congress, eon Gregorio Perez Jardon, Manuel G.

INTELLIGENCE. Interesting Correspondence on the Democratic Situation—Old Whigs of the West and South Counselling Together. A private correspondence has recently taken place between A. H. H, Stuart, of Virginia, and John T. Stewart, of Iilinots, touching the democratic eitua- tion. The latter gentleman is well known to old Politicians as the whig who defeated Stephen A. Douglas in his first contest for Congress, in 1838, in the Third Illinois district, by a majority of but sixty- eight out of the then—thirty years ago—enormous poll fora new country of over 36,000. The following is the correspondence:— SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Hon. A. H. H, Stvart:— teditnssn Dean Sin—We are anxious to know what part in the National Democratic Gunvention the Opponents in the South to tne republicans will pursue, As an ‘am especially anxious to know what a4 ution and the civil liberty which we once enjoyed when Suthers’ hige uthern wl are doing and thinki maintenance of the Union under the cons! that constitution was the supreme law of the land, depend upon the defeat of the radical republicans in hopes for the ath as well as the ensuing Presidential election. future rest much in the whigs of the of the North. ‘Trained by Clay, Webater and other gal- lant leaders of that glorious old party to venerate and obey the consitution and the written law, they can- not consistently do otherwise than ald in the defeat of that revolutionary party which has been carryit on the government outside of the constitution, Which, if successful in the next Presidental election, wilt continue and petuate a military despotism. Will they sup rt Mr. Pendieton? I think, under all the circumstances, he ts the most available man.’ Serving with him through one Con- gress, I profess to be well acquainted with him. A genteman in the highest sense of the word; gentle friends, courteous to all, with @ generous heart and large intellect, cultivated and refined by learn- ing and knowiedge, a weil educated lawyer and a Practical statesman, he would fill the executive office with honor to himself, to the party elect him and to the welfare of the country. As President he would be a patriot and statesman, maintaining the honor of the whole country and upholding the con- stitution and the Union. There need be no fear of radicalism of any kind with him, I would be very happy to hear from you and have your views apon this subject and what wiil most probably be the course of Virginia and the South generally in the Convention. We feel here the more anxiety as to the course of the South because we learn that great elforts are being made to enlist Southern conserva- en against Mr. Pendleton. Opposition to him from uthern conserv.itives would, in my opinion, be & fatal mistake. Respectfully, your obedient servant, . JOHN T. STEWART. Sraunton, Va., May 14, 1868, Hon. Joun T. Stewart:— Dxak Sik—Your favor of the 8th inst. has been received, and I iiasten to reply to it. As far as I have been able to gather the sentiment of the whigs aud democrats of Virginia, in regard to the selection of @ candidate for the Presideucy, it is this:—Ihey have no particular partiality or prejudices for or apie’ any individual, They go for success. They will cordially support any respectable conservative who may have the strength to beat the radicals, They know that the great battle for the constitution and eae crarient is to be fought in the North, and they are, therefore, disposed to coucede tu the Northern States the right of selecting the standard- bearer. I think when the Convention meets the Southern delegates will say to their Northern associ. ates, “You are the best judges as to which of the cai didates is strongest in your section; deliberate care- fully and dispassionately; make Ce choice, and we will staud by your judgment.” Mr. Pendleton is not very extensively known to the people of the South, but all that we do know of him is favorable, and the fact that he commands so large a share of the con- fidence of the people of his own and other Western States, who know him best, speaks volumes in his favor. I may add that, as far as 1 am individually concerned, your endorsement of him carries great weight. Ihave no personal acquaintance with him, but Lunderstand he ts a son of my old friend, Na- thaniel Greene Pendleton, with whom we served in the Twenty-seventh Congress, and that fact predis- poses me strongly in his favor. What the South de- sires, above ali things, is a release from radical bondi and we care little under whose lead that result ls acoomplished. We look to the end, not to the means. ir. Pendleton would be entirely ac- ceptable to the peopie of Virginia. If, on a com- \ si of opinions in the Couvention, it should decided that Le is the strongest man, we will rally to his support with enthusiasm. I have seen it suggested in some papers that while Mr. Pen- dleton 1s sirong in the West and Northwest he would be obnoxious to some of the Middle States, Pennsyl- vania, New York and New Jersey, forexample. Ido not know how this is, but I think the matter should be carefully weighed, 8» that the choice should fail on the man who combines the largest and most d. fused elements of popularity. Mr. Pendleton’s vie on currency and finance will be acceptable to t! South. In my judgment the most enlarged and catholic spirit ougit to prevail inthe Convention. It is no time to siaud on personal preferences. The issues are too important for we of that kind to have weight. The Southern ple will support cheerfully Pendleton, Hancock, Doolittle, Hendricks, Seymour or any other sound conservative man, pro- vided he has what John Kandolph termed the “turn- ing out faculty.” I think che signs of the times are all auspicious, and it would be a shame if we should Jose a glorious victory by miserable bickerings and squabbies in regard to men. Very truly yours, ALEXANDER H. il. STUART. Political Notes. The Chicago Tribune states that the Congregational Association of Michigan suspended its regular exer- cises when the news was received of the nomina- tion of Grant and Colfax, and sang the standard doxology of the church amid the greate’t enthu- slasm, A despatch in a backwoods paper, just received, states that the republicans at Chicago have nomt- nated General Grant for President and “Col. Fox!’ for Viée President ! The republicans rejoice that their candidates are very nearly of the same age, and may be regarded as in the prime of intellectual and physical manhood. Grant was 46 on the 27th of April last and Colfax 45 on the 23d of March last. By singular mathematical coincidence their united ages reach the exact sum of ninety-one years, one month and four days!
