GUAYMAS, Sonora, Sept. 23, 1863. We of Sonora who touch the sacred hem of your mighty garments fee! the electric currents of mani- fest destiny firing up our blood, but not to such an extent but what we are cool enough to hunt up valu- able corner lots, water privileges, fine ranches and Jovely leagues of the finest land in the world. This 4s the kind of recreation that now engages the atten- tuon of far-seeing men, as the saying ts, and ‘“de- nouncing” unoccupied government land is a much more popular employment than denouncing Yan- ees, simply because the former is a speculation that 4s bound to pay well, while indulgence in the latter ould do no good and might do a great deal of harm. Somehow or another it has got into the blood, bone, marrow and sinews of the people in this part of the country that the American eagle or Gene- ral Phil Sheridan is going to sweep down here right away if Mr. Seward does not hurry up and put an end to this exciting and everlasting talk about an- nexation. We simply write as you nay hear people talk im the streets any day. Let not one decelve you ‘that this question of annexation is a grand scheme Drought into existence by thosc monster sharks who t great land and other privileges from the dead milian government or the government of its destroyers, and who are eager to people Lower Call- fornia and'this State and Sonora with Chinese or negro labor, thereby establishiag a system of re- ceiving a great deai of work for a very little pay; in other words, establishing a system of Asiatic slavery that wili be ‘9 disgrace, and, finally, a curse to the country. We are very glad to know that your editorial columns are pouring hot shot and shell into the camp of the voracious enemy, 83 we have already seen by some striking comments on the Rosecrans mission. No; neither the Ameri- cans here nor the Mexicans want to be swallowed up by these land sharks. What 1s wanted and what the people in reality desire is a good, strong, equi- table government, legitimate enterprises and honest pay for honest work. Of course the land office sys- tem of the United States would unmediately (after the question of annexation was settled) come into forc2, and then the speculator and the poor man would be placed on an equal footing, as far as the attitude of the goverment towards them was con- erned. In ihe meantime, while waiting for the great event, there will be a lively race for looking up and speculating upon lands, as everybody knows thai when Americans come real estate will bring enormous prices, especially locations for errs A manufactures, cotton raising, &c. Another point 1s that, althougn Secretary Seward seems troubled with apathy in regard to the Mexican question, it is be- he purchase or procuring of Sonora wil! be an absolute necessity; that the great Southern Pacific Railroad must have an American outiet on the Pacilic; and where has tue eye to glance for such an ouliet except this very port of Guaymas, Satistied of this, we b: already accepted the Issue “to be or not to be" , and the sooner you send the flag down here the soouer will We be resurrected into the new life ihat will make us a great, rich and powerful pillar of the maginiticent governmental ediii : that is at once the pride and wonder of the work.

But Mexico has been so blessed ‘with peace and tranquillity since the downfall of Spanish dominion that the ardent liberals take time Dy the forelock and commence to celebrate the 16th on the 16th and prolong the celebration to the 27th, ‘thereby having a Fourth of July that realy outshines our Fourth, not only in time, windy erations, patriotic exclamations, fireworks, &c., but especially is it superior as regards the right of Me populace to enjoy “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” just when, where and bow they please. On the 15th, then, commenced the national fandango. During the day great prepara- tions were made to have @ brilliant opening at the Teatro del Recreo, as the night was to be dedicated ‘to commemorating the gritas, or shouts, of liberty, supposed to nave been given fifty-eight years ago by the renowned Padre Hidalgo and his patriotic countrymen. Peals of artillery, waving of fags, bands of music and a general air of hilarity among the masses showed that the god who ridiculed Venus for the nolse made by her sandals was about to have enbjects in abundance for his ironical sallies. Night came, and with it a theatre crammed from pit to dome, as theatrical critics have it, That mythical messenger of Jupiter, who 18 reputed ‘to be Lue god of eloquence (wud likewise the patroa of merchants abd chieves) though we respectfully speak of im in the former sense, seemed to inspire everybody present with Demosthenic aturibuves, and ularly those who were to be the orators of the Pverything conspired tw make the adair a a8.

The after- noon Was entirely devoted to orations, promenades and congratulations as to what the night would bring forth, A large number of orators oM- ciated, epic poems, addresses (o the military, essays to young men, patriotic harangues and schoolboy poetry betug among the productions, The public Square and the tleatre were filed with very gro- tesque and peculiar looking audiences, Shouts of applause were dealt in with great profusion; for these people are very enthusiastic. The oraror that gave Mexico the greatest, the best and the bravest army in the world, that hurled vigorous anathemas ‘at the memory of unfortunate Maximilian, that de- fled Napoleon Til. to come again on this sacred soil ‘and that said least about actual facts and the exist- ing condition of the country, Was the oratoricat Jupiter that carried the palin. These people love to be flattered, and you can’t tell them the truth as you can an American au- dience, because it hurts their feelings, We shall soon see, however, that at least a few grains of truth were edministered by way of a test as to what effect such rare potations would have, Thus the en- tire day passed offin parades, orations and the like. ‘The night Was another scene of continued hilarity. ‘ThousSnds of people flocked to the Plaza and streets adjacent. In the centre of the public square fireworks were erected, which discharged their ar- tillery, to the great amusement of the people. The most interesting feature of the night's programme was the universal gambling indulged in, Tabies were placed in the ana inclosed by the Plaza, along the sidewalks and in all the adjacent saloons. Around these men and women flocked with the greatest eagerness to try their fortunes, sitting ail night long’ the open air, losing and winning alternately. Indian dances were another marked feature. @ @Pallrooms were in the open air, the floor composed of two or three pieces of lank nailed together, and the dances peculiarly indian, From eight o’clock in the eventng up to two or three o'clock next morning there is no ces- sation of this amusement. ‘The dance usually takes place in front of a saloon, the proprietor of which nires a couple of dilapidated fidalers at the rate of four or five reals—say fifty gents per night—and thus draws cnstom, The fiddlers throw themselves on the ground cross-legged and commence the most lively airs. They saw the fiddler with astonishing vigor, but the notes come out in a confusion that would set an operatic violinist in a terrible passion. Frequently they accompany their music With snatches of unintelligible songs to a plaintive, sweet kind of humming air, not unlike that char- acteristic of negro melody before ‘burnt cork opera”? came into fashion. While you can hear sounds of music and of singing you can scarcely see the source from whence it comes, as the fiddlers are covered up under immense palm leaf hats, measuring from three to four feet in circumference. The fiddle itself is very original in appearance. and on a par with the surroundings. As to the dancers, they are usually young men and women. The Sefioritas are remark- ably graceful in their movements, but the men jump and pitch about with an elasticity equal to the famous india-rubber man.. Around them are gathered groups of admirers and spectators, who seem wonderfully «le- lighted with the music, the dancing and tie world generally. It may be a pleasant recreation to spend anight dancing ina cold climate; but here, where the thermometer may ty anywhere from eighty up to a hundred, it would de decidedly warm work for gloved dandies and women made at the milliners; but with the Aztecs it is nothing more than a frolic, and they are only sorry when the pleasant re- creation is ended. ‘The 17th ushered in another day of feasting and innocent folly, the night ending with a grand rafle, under the auspices of the Common Council, for a peas painting of the patriot priest and father of exican Independence, Hidalgo. Although the 17th was in reality such a@ day as dc- scribea, yet it 1s im the proper sense considered to be a day for mourning and weeping over the memories of the great dead of the nation. But peo- ple cannot weep and gamble, rattle and dance aito- gether—not even the Mexican people themselves. Last Sunday evening. the 2ith, finished up the illu trious ceremonies. The holy Sabbath evening—ai some goo: people adjacent to Plymouth Rock would call it—seemed but to obtain little respectin a sacred and religious point of view. The Plaza wus full as usual, the gambitng tabies crowded, the dance mer- rier than ever and the street crowded with frail daughters of Eve. It was almost impossible to walk around the public square and everybody jostled against the other im the best natured manner possible, The so-called aristocracy and the so-called civilized natives were on an equal footing. But wh. not, since al! are common in the sight of entighte! jaws? By leaving the Plaza and before you reach a church you reach the theatre. Here people were enjoying themselves over a comedy and a farce, Take a suroll anywhere and it was nothing but merri- ment. Even the club house, which is the resort of the high toned clerks all the way from Southern Germany and Old Englagd, was kept open nearly all night. Billiards, cocktalls, juleps and stories were among the articles quoted high and plentiful. The club room overlooks the Plaza, and directly front ing on the other side of the square is a less preten- tious, less aristocratic club room, where a son of the Celestial empire did an immense business in the way of ee es whiskey and worse ine to his custométs, and whi besides had rented out every chair, stool, tabie an corner in his inn for gambling purposes, Yes, as we have said, there Was nothing but merriment wherever we went. And then the affair was con- ducted quietly. it is really astonishing. The two weeks passed away like a dream to those who gave themselves up to the festivities of the hour, and there were no exceptions among the natives, for all enjoyed it. Here is a picture for pious missionaries to look at. Why go to the Sandwich Islands and the interlor of Africa when such desecration of the Sab- bath 18 almost at yourdoor?

Business is extremely duil throughout the entire State. Money is very scarce: there is but little labor for the poor, and comsequently they suffer most.

Tho Financial Condition of the State and the Blessings of Radical Rule. NASHVILLE, Oct. 28, 1868, In speaking of the Tennessee radicals it may be of interest to the Northern people to know just what radical rule has done for the first “‘reconstructed”’ State inthe Union. I have been rumaging among the facts and figures to be found at the State Capitol, and the result, I think, will illustrate more strongly than any partisan view of the situation could the real biessings of radicalism in this State. Here they are:—The indebtedness proper of the State on the 1st ofOctober, 1861, was $3,996,606 66, and jts liability on bonds issued and endorsed for internal tm- provement purposes, $16,211,000, the aggre- gate liability being, therefore, $20,207,606 66. The State debt proper on the Ist of Octo- ber, 1807, was $3,344,606 66, while the entire State liabilities, actual and coatingent, were $32,562,323 68. But the report of the Comptroller to the Legislature, which adjourned lasi demonstrated that the liabilities of the State, al and contingent, on the 3d of August, 1868, amounted to $36,750,323 5%. The State debt proper, it is true, hag been somewhat reduced by ouerous taxation; but tt will be seen that the liabilities have been in- creased in less than three years $16,744,716 92. Under the internal improvement law passed in 1862 by the Legisiature when the State was wealthy and prosperous she only ventured to extend her Habilities to $16,211,000. Since and to 3d of April, 1865, leas than three years, the it State Boy nment has increased these Habili for internal {mprovements $17,194,716 92. This has been done under general financial pressure, with an ex- treasury, 8 people made bankrant [iy the war, and with the-knowledge that six of the railroad com, “4 have not pald their interest on the State bonds and six are in the hande of receivers, the ma- jority of whom are Brownlow’s relations, It will be observed that the State debt proper has been reduced only $552,000, and the question naturally arises, “What has become of } ee joney raised by the enormous taxes with Which the people are burdened?” During the two fiscal years ending on the Soth of Sepiember, 1859, the ipts of the ‘Treasury were $1,848,004 88. i the two fiscal years ending on the 30th of September, 1867, the Hep were $2 5h) 7 88—aD excess over those of 1859 of $1,027,495, receipts for 1359 the Bank of Tennessee paid $420,403 32, which, added to the above excess, makes $1,447,708 82, and do. moustates the pleasant fact that in two years the people, under the wise administration of the pariy of progress and reform, have their taxes tris creased $1,447,796 32, almost as wuch as the State government cost tn 1458-59. The disbursements for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of September, 1858, Were $773,123 65, and forthe year. ending on the 30th. of September, 1859, $720,800 30, making a total of $1,602,519 04, ‘The disbursements for the fiscal year ending September 20, 1886, were $1,004,970 5 and for the yeaY 1567 $1,776,617 38, making for the two years $2,975,487 88, an excess over 1858-59 of $1,372,003 84. In the disbursements for 1858-50 are included $40,641 62 to the agricultural bureau and societies and $411,907 87 to the school and academy funds, making the 39 40, During the years 1896-67 no disbursements for those purposes were made, for the appropriation for the encourage. ment of the agricultural interests were repeated, and the school funds are not included in the disburse- ments, Taking thie sum from the disbursements of 1858-59 tt leaves the sum of $1,049,074 55, This deducted from the expenditures of 1866-467 leaves an excess of $1,825,508 8%, which the present State government cost the people for the year ending September 30 over and above the cost of the State government for the two fiscal years ending Septem- ber 30, 1859, The financlai condition of every county in the State n be understood by taxing Cannon county a8 an exainple.

A curious question ie pending in Sadsburg, Pa. Mr. C, Pusey Thorne, son of J. Williams Thorne, came of age on the day of the October election this year. The democrats, anxious to exclude every repablican bal- Jot, challenged his vote upon the ground that he was not born until seven o'clock in the evening, at which time the law provided that the polls should close, It ‘Was argued on behalf of the applicant that the law rec no fractions of bk and that he was en- ‘tit to vote, even though he not been born until eleven o'clock and fifty-nine minutes P. M. on said day. The democratic election officers, however, contended that he must be between the ages of twenty-one and twenty- two years, and that he would not have reached that riod until the Lour of seven had passed, In reply to is Mr. Thorne, Sr., asked the officers if they recog: nized 365 days and six hours as a year, aud they re- plied that they did, He then showed that six leap i oocurred in the lifetime of his son, and rtwer mathematically dmeonstrated that he had lived twenty-one times 365 days and six hours, and had efghteen hours to spi This rather domb- foundea the democratic oMcers, but they etitl de- clined to ene t seat aon @ minutes Se Reven o’choc! republican ja took te jos and deposlded it in the box, “ . »by ita provisions, with tl 80 inseparabl NATURALIZATION IN PHILADELPIIA. Important Decision of Judge Read in the Su- preme Court of Pennsylvania=The Iesue of Naturalization Certificates by the Nisi Prius Pranch of the Supreme Court Declared Con- trary to Acts of Congress and of the State of Pennsyivania and Should Be Rejected at the Pola. Yesterday morning, in Philadelphia, in the Su- preme Court at Nisi Prius, Justice Read upon the bench, William B. Mann, attended by a number of citizens, appeared before the Court and made the following petition :— May it PLease Your Honor:—Within a very short time anotner gentleman will be sworn into oitice as the District Attorney of this county. I wish to devote the remnant of my omecial life, it is but a few moments, to the discharge of a duty that I and the gentlemen who accompany me consider most sacred, I appear before you as the liatrict Attorney of the county, and with gentlemen, citizens of this county, to ask your opinion in regard to the uaturalization papers that have purported to have been issued from this court. ‘There is an act of Assembly in this State making it aecriminal offence to issue a naturalization buper without a hearing before a court and adjudicator by the proper judge, There is not a single record in this whole naturalization of such hearing and adjudt- cation, and yet there are tousands of certificates is- sued from this court abroad in the community. The election officers are totally unable to discriminate between those properly issued by the presiding judge and those sent out by the Prothonotary and his tipstaves. In view of these facts we have come toask your Honor to decide upon the legality of such proceedings and whether these are or are not naturelization papers. The Justice, in reply, said:—This is a subject I have considered gravely, and one upon which | held con- ference with two other judges of this court, after which T wrote, on the 7th of October, a letter which expressed the unanimo2s opinions of those gentie- men. Fearing that there would be dificutty in re- gard to these naturalization papers, aud anticipating that this very proceeding would take place, I have written an opinion upon it, which I now pro- ceed to read:—The number of persons naturalized in the Court of Nisi Prius, from the 13th of Septem- ber last to the 13th of October, 1868, was 6,856, of which number 2,872 were naturalized in the week ending the 3d day of October, and of these 720 were naturalized in one day of five hours. These per- sons were neither examined by nor sworn by the judge holdin; the court, but the examination and oa were made and adininistered by two or more tipstaves in a corner of the courtroom or in an adjoining room. The ap- plicant was not seen by the Judge nor by the Pro- thonotary. who attached his name to the papers when brought to him by the tipstaves. - In fact there ‘was no examination at all. What the tipstaves did was to administer the oaths. In my letter of the 7th of October last I said:—“We all three regard the ppigaced of naturalization pursued by the Nisi Prius, owever old or by whatever judges sanctioned, as contrary to the plain words of the acts of Congress, and is therefore illegal. Naturalization 1s a judicial act, and the examination of the applicant and his witness or voucher should be conducted by the Judge himself. Such was the practice of Judge Agnew when a President Judge, and is the uniforin practice of the Di&Strict Court of the county of Allegheny,” and is the established practice in all the counties be- yond the limits of Philadelphia, ~ My attention has been called to the tenth section of the act of the 4th April, 1868. The constitution- ality of this act was hefore the Chief Justice at Nisi Prius, and he called upon us to hear the argument and assist him with our advice. Two of us thought the law constitutional. The Chief Justice was of opinion it was unconstitutional in several of its pro- visions, in only one of which my brother Strong concurred, in rélation to ten days before elec- tion. This was the only part of it which the Court decided to be unconstitutional. This section, there- fore, which is a separate, independent enactment, is in full force, and is in these words:— If any prothonotary, clerk, ar the deputy of either, or any other pergon, shall aitix the seal of oflice to any naturaliza- tlon paper, or give out the same in blank, whereby it may be fraudulently used, or furnish a naturalization certificate to any person’ who ‘shall not have been duly examined and Sworn in open court, in pres ft some of the judy thereof, according to the act of Congre: gatty of a high misdemeanor; or if any ent! use any such certificate of naturalization, knowing that was fraudulently issued, and shall vote or attempt to vote thereon, he auall be guilty of 9 high miste or any of the persohs, their aides eu either of the miademeanors aforesaid, shall, on Conviction, be fined in a em not exceeding $1,000’ and imprison proper penitentiary for a period not exceeding three years. “Now, it is clear that none of the persons to whom naturalization certifications were furnished had ever been duly examined and sworn in open court in pre- sence of some of the judges thereof, according to the act of Congress. They were not duly exargined, in fact pot examined at all, by the tudge or the protho- notary, nor even by the officiating tipstaves; nor were they sworn im opeu court in presence of the judge, nor were the applicant and his witness seen y the Judge or Prothonotary; bat the examination, which was never made, and the administration of the oath were intrusted to two tipstaves who had no ower to examine or to administer an oath, here is not a single feature of a@ judicial act in the whole transaction, The pro- thonotar; who furnishes such certificates exposes himself to the penalties of the statute, and the persons using such certificates and voting or at- temping to vote thereon render themselves ltable to be punished to the utmost limit of the law. There is direct evidence of the natural effect of no due exam- ination of the applicant or his witness, in the natur- alization of a rebel soldier, who, of course, had be- haved as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and hap- piness of the same. So in certidcates [egies to men who were not tn ay the country on the they bore date;.so in certif- cates granted to persons as ors, Who had rly declared their intentions; so ere were professional vouchers who were paid to perjure themselves, one of whom by his own acknowledgment and oath falsely youched for seventy-two persons who were thus fraudulently naturalized. The employment asa clerk, upon the recommendation of another clerk, of @ person who had been convicted of issuing forged land warrants, and the employment of other persons in the ofice, may account for the blank certificates floating about with the seal afxed, to be tilled up at the pleasure of the holder. Taking, therefore, into consideration the illegal character of these certificates, so distinctly pointed out by the act of Assembly and so severely punished circumstances of fraud ly connected with them, ‘I can only come to one conclusion, that the whole issue ts where in their declarations of opinion. The bench was full and the motion was denied. Judge Williams | voted with Judge Sharswood and the Chief Justice against taking up the subject. This 1s a plain warn ing to those who refuse to respect the seal of the court, The oath of office is iresh in the mind of Judge Williams, but has been forgotten by Read and Agnew.—Philadelphia Age, Nov ARREST ON A CHARGE OF MuRDER.—As the bark Jewess arrived from abroad in F nt Roads yes- terday she was boarded by the harbor pol who arrested Charles Swuin, a Portuguese s an, OL & charge of murder.
