Gnd other great ones Golncident to monopolies exist here, It has been, on a former occasion, suggested that the completion of the French Beean cable would correct the wrong; but this :Would be only # partial corrective. It might save New York from these frequent plunder- \ings, but every ether market in the Union ‘would still be sudject to them, The true and xadical remedy for this evil is the postal tele- graph system and the establishment of a plan of reports from the boards of trade in every great mart of their daily operations. When ‘this is dons our merchants will feel that they ere freed ‘rom an incubus in the present power of the yellow slip and from the speculating Proclivities of great monopolies. Tho South and the Administration. We find in our Southern exchanges a very gmeral expression of satisfaction at the tenor of President Grant's inaugural. This is a great point gained in the effort towards univer- 4al reconciliation and the consequent greatly ‘sugmented prosperity of our common country. ‘The remark of President Grant that “the country, having just emerged from a great ebellion, many questions will come before it for settlement in the next four years which preceding administrations have never had to deal with, and in meeting these it is desirable ‘that they should be approached calmly and without prejudice, hate or sectional pride, memembering that the greatest, good to the greatest number is the object to be obtained,” meflects the sentiments of the South on the sub- ject. The South hopes and expects that the administration of President Grant will, during the next four years, deal with its interests in an enlarged and magnanimous spirit of patriot- ism; that it will not be met on the threshold of its restoration by “prejudice, hate and sectional pride ;” and that every encourage- ment will be extended by the general government towards its complete reha- bilitation in its former rights in the Union. The South does not want another four years of exasperation between the President and Congress—four more years of struggle on the one hand to concede more than the progress of events reasonably entitled it, and on the other to withhold from it rights which every consideration of justice and sound policy entitled it to receive. ‘Security of per- son, property and for religious and political free- dom of opinion in every part of our common country, without regard to local prejudice,” says President Grant; and on that platform the South will, no doubt, have occasion to rejoice in a beneficent administration for the coming four years. It will be by acting upon this concilia- tory policy that the South will be placed in a condition to help bring sbout that happy era when “every dollar of the government indebtedness, unless otherwise expreasly stipu- lated in the contract,” shall be paid in gold. Within three years, perhaps within two, the South may be better able to bear the burden of oppressive taxation than the North and the ‘country generally become vastly richer and the government credit correspondingly en- hanced. The South, we repeat, is now indulg- ing in the hope and expectation of a more stable, uniform and beneficial policy than that which marked the administration of the gov- satisfaction expressed by its respectable jour- nals, it is prepared to go to work with renewed AMUSEMENTS.

A Tilt in the Constituent Cortes Between the Republicans and Monarchists Abeut the Future Form of the Government—Remarks ofthe Speakers. Mappip, March 9, 1869, ‘There was a stormy debate during the session of the Constituent Cortes yesterday. The republican members made bitter attacks upon the Ministry for their alleged monarchical proclivities, They de- manded that the Duke of Montpensier be divested of his rank of Marshal of Spain, and accused the pro- visional government of endeavoring to smuggie him into the country for the purpose of placing him upon the throne, General Prim replied thatthe Duke could not with justice be deprived of his titie of Marshal. Admiral Topete, the Minister of the Marine, amid great excitement declared that a kingdom with Montpensier on the throne was preferable to a re- public. Marshal Serrano made a calm and dignified speech defending the provisional government from the attacks of the republicans, asserting the sovereign authority of the Cortes, and insisting that the deter- mination of a form of government for Spain and the choice of her future ruler should be left to the Con- stituent Cortes alone. He deprecated the violent pressure brought to bear upon the Cortes by the republican party as impolitic and unfair. In the course of the session Senor Figilerola, Min- ister of Finance, expressed himself in favor of free trade, and advocated immediate but gradual reform in the customs by the adoption of a compromise tariff, ENGLAND.

MEXICO. Mi¥tary Executions Again in Fashion—The Mexicans Frightened at Them at Last—The Shooting Ordered to Be Stopped—Negrete Net Yet Found—Romere on the Situation— Rebels Defeated at Tamaulipas. Havana, March 9, 1869. Later intelligence from Mexico states that so many executions had taken piace that the people were thrown into the greatest trepidation and dismay. ‘The feeling of horror at the butchery was so intense that President Juarez had ordered @ suspension of executions everywhere in the republic. All the officers held as prisoners were to be taken ‘to the capital and tried for treason. The rumor that Colonel Mayer, late of the United States Army, had been shot proves to be incorrect. He is @ prisoner, however, and has been ordered to the capital for trial. General Negrete, the insurgent leader, had not been found at the jatest accoants. A report was current that he was not entirely routed, but had re- tired and was engaged in reorganizing his forces. A letter from Sefor Romero to a friend says that those who now clamor for a change of ministry are the very persons whose opposition to the admini- | stration fomented the recent rebellious movements. ‘Their motives, che letter continues, are ignoble, and they represent but a minority of the people.

Riotous Proceedings in the Republican State Convention—Contest for the Organizatiou— General Fight Among the Delegates—The Convention Broken Up by the City Authori- tiewDivision in the Republican Ranks, PETERSBURG, March 9, 1869, This morning the Republican State Nominating Convention met in the African Methodist church, on Main street, about one hunared and twenty dele- gates being present. These were divifed into two cliques, one in the interest of Governor Wells and the other favoring James H. Clements, of Portsmouth, for the Governorship, in opposition to Wells. Last night and during the entire morning there was every indication of a stormy session, because of the deadly hatred of opposing factions. Early in the day charges of corruption and mail robbery against his Excellency Governor Wells had been published and freely circulated, aud this added to the excite- ment of the occasion. At twelve M. the Convention was called to order by Dr. Gilmor, chairman of the Refublican State Executive Committee, following which George Tucker was nominated as temporary chairman by the Clements faction. A Mr. Jenkins was then nominated by the Wells clique, and here the scene commenced. Cries and yells from tne Clements crowd met this ‘announcement, and the church was shortly afterwards converted into a bead fect bedlam. Motions and countermotions wi made, a majority of all es a on the floor, yelling and declatming in a horrible manner. Butts, of Norfolk, claimed that Jenkins was not a delegate, and a of Richmond, in a stento) voice, pees Tucker elected ~. scclamation. A \vote called — for, ut amid roar ‘of voices th that drowned every attempt to main- tain gered the motion was ‘overlooked. At this meee of the proceedi the excitement increased to fearful pitch, and Wells men pushed to the ros leal over the rasing that enclosed it, as- saul pone oo of air and others.

There is @ good deal of dissatisfaction here at thejStar Chamber character of their investigations. It is thought, and very properly, that the public should have the benefit of the testimony taken be- fore them, It looks suspicious that they should reserve such portions of it as they may not choose to give in their report. ‘They say that it will require thirty days to take all whe testi- mony they expect to get, in which case their report will come tn at the tail of the session, and may mot be acted upon by this Legislature after all. It 13 to be hoped, however, that the committee will see the importance of completing their duties with as little gel 4 18 consistent with the subject. There was great fuss made about the resolution un- Ger which this committee was appointed, and great ‘things were expected from its labora; but the people will not be content to find the matter smothered up jn committee, reporters of the preas: — and the investigation hugger-m' locked doors, The comunittee investigating =. affairs of the Merchants’ Union Express Company have not succeeded in any rege aad yet.
