MEXICO. HERALD SPECIAL REPORT VIA HAV ANA. An Opposition Victory—Election of a New President and Vice President of Congress. Enthusiastic Reception of an Opera Singer. Revolution in Tampico---Means Taken to Suppress It. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, Havana, May 15, 1871. The HeRatp's special correspondent in the city of Mexico sends the following despatch relative to affairs in the republic, It is dated Crry or Mextoo, May 5, 1871. The opposition party has been victorious in electing a new President and Vice President This was brought Whout by having a committee composed of anti-adminis- tration members. A hundred fresh troops have been sent to the State of Guerrero, The impeachment of Sefior Romero is before Congress ; he is making a strong defence, and it is hardly possible that he will be impeached. There is much excitement caused by the Fort Goodwin affair, and confirmatory ac- counts are anxiously awaited. Mme. Peralta arrived last night. She was met at the station by an immense crowd. A party of young men, including the priest Maldonado, drew her home in an open car- riage. Some revolutionary bands in the State of Sinaloa have come to grief. The Minister of War announces a pronun- ciamiento by the garrison of Tampico, led by Colonels Molina and Calleja. Congress last night confirmed the proroguing of the Claim Commission for the year. Colonel Lever arrived from Havana to-day and gives the following information :—Gen- eral Foster, cemmanding at Vera Cruz, re- ceived orders from the government to charter the steamer City of Merida to transport troops to Tampico, and he also chartered the Mexi- They left Vera Cruz on the 6th, having on board General Ceballos and seven hundred “men. They reached Tampico on the 7th and disem- barked the troops the same day. They found that General Correlia, with eighty men, was posted at the mouth of the river, on the left bank; he had thrown up entrenchments and awaited reinforcements from Vera Cruz. Colonels Molino Calleja had about four hundred troops. These chiefs had collected from the English conducta, the Tampico merchants and the Custom Hoyse about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and were casting about for a chance to es- cape with the plunder ; but their getting away is hardly possible. General Roche, with a brigade, is advancing on them from San Luis Potosi, and Generals Cornellia and Ceballos hold the mouth of the river, thus cutting them off entirely. On the night of the 8th there was a slight engagement between the insurgents and the federals, the latter being victorious, capturing thirty prisoners. The reduction of the place is only a matter of time. AMUSEMENTS. ITALIAN OPERA—“MARTHA".—Flotow’s sparkling lutte opera, which bubbles over wilh sprightliness and humor from beginning to end and never fails vo please the popular taste, drew am immense house tothe Academy last night. The quartet in the cast consisted of Miss Kellogg, Mme. Himela, Caroseili and Susipi. Martha is one of Miss Kellogg’s most popular roles, ranking with her Zerlina and Rosina. She brings to it a vivacity and dash that lights up the opera throughout, and keeps every one in the vest of humor. Mme. Himela appeared to better advantage as Nancy than as Siebel, and, with the exception of @ want of that irresistible grace andc oqueitishness that one looks for in such a@ rele, she met with fair success. The only lault we could find with Caroselli, a3 Lionel, was that but a small proportion of tue audience could hear his voice in any part of the opera. This may have been caused either by the extremely light quality of the gentleman’s voice or more probably by the incessant and overpower- ing din of Signor Nicolao’s orchestra. This con- ductor evidently mistook the opera for one of Wag- ner’s and assailed it con tutta forza accordingly. Susini was an excellent Plunkett, and his big voice was kept within pretty fair bounds. On Wednes- day “Faust” will be repeated, with Susini in place of the terrible man that butchered Mephistopheles on Friday night. ‘The Sicilian Vespers’’ will be pre- sented on Friday evening, and the season wil close with a representation of “Rovert le Diabie,” with Miss Kellogg as Alice. FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE.—There was a new sen- sation at this house last night in the new comedy, in three acts, by Henry J. Byron, entitied, “Not Such a Fool as He Looks’'—a very suggestive title, in being suggestive of an indefinite number of plots and of only one character im the lot, The plot of Mr. Byron is of the modern Engtish sensa- Uonal school of Miss Braddon and Charles Keade, ag contra-distinguished from the French morali- ties of “Frou-Frou.” The characters of the play are as follows:—Sur Simon Simple, not quite such a fool as he looks, Mr. Charles Mathews; Mr. Daniel Mur- gatroyd, solicitor and bill discounter, Mr. G, F. De Vere; Mr. Mould, a worm, Mr. W. Davidge; Frede- Tick Granuy, the young man who was in Mr. Murga- troyd’s service and in Miss Felicia’s heart, Mr, George Parkes; Marker, one of Murgatroyd’s vic- ums, Mr. H. Bascomb; Miss Felicia, a young lady Who would have her own way in love, Miss Linda Deitz; Mrs. Merton, a modern and a model reformer, Miss Fanny Morant; Mrs. Mould, the wife of the worm, a lady im the “mangling” interest, Mrs, G. H. Gilbert; Jenny, Miss Vollmer. Sir Simon Simple in the outset of his checkered career is given in charge a8 @ waif to Mra. Mould, the washerwofkan, who, witn her rude but subdued barbarian of a husband, lead a sort of cat and dog life, the cat being the master, till the dog, tortured into rebellion, turns the tables upon the old woman, Mr. Murgatroyd, through the assistance of the old Woman, gets possession of the boy, and by @ successful device, and by & regular allowance of blackman to Mra. Mould, has him educated as Simon Simple, the helr to & baronewey end £20,000 a year. The object of Mr. Murgatroyd (and we have the same scheme in the “New Way to Pay Old Debts”) is the marriage of his niece, Miss Felicia, to Sir Simon, mm oruer to have her cailed My Lady Simple, &c. But the young Woman has made @ different arrangement, aad 40 tells her dear uncle, of Congress. can steamers Union and Tabasco. and and so tells Sir Simon, exch in his tar. The uncle isiurtons, and threatens all sorts of terrible things In the event of her disobedience to Lis wishes; but whue Sir Simon, 1n popping the question, 1s some- What taken aback vy @ plump rejection, he 6 soon persuaded by the winning ways of the gil to retire in favor ot her “dear Fred.” But when he comes 80 to state the case to the tyrannical uncle, that amlable potentate tells Sir Simon that ms baronetcy 1s a humbug and that he is an immostor, and that he, the aforesaid artful schemer, will send Sir Simon to where he belongs, which he does; and which is the sending of Simon t» his supposed mother, the washerwoman. Here, for six months, he shares in the rough catand dog life of Mrs, Mould and her husband, ‘the worm,’? tll the worm turns wr his wrath, from which poiat we have a series of remarkable adventures, including the appear- ance at the washerwoman’s shanty or Mrs. Merton, the model reformer and the reai mother of Simon, in all of which adventures and revelations it 1s made to appear that poor Simon ‘‘is not such a fooi as he looks.” Of course, the story winds ap with a good ending and a good moral, although itis a story of bad subjects and their rascalities from the beginning to the end, excepting poor Simon and Fred and his Felicia. Mr. Mathews makes an agreeable personage of Simon, though Simon is evidently too slow and heavy for the quick and decisive style of Mathews, De Vere is a splendid conspirator of the genteel scnool aiming at rank and social distinction. Mrs. Gilbert a8-his confederate and blackmailer, and as the merciless tyrant over her poor “worm” of a husband, ts very fine tn the delineation of this coarse character. She draws it with the finish of one of those precious little paintings of @ square foot of canvas which command trom $5,000 to $10,000, Miss Morant as the model reformer is a model for the whole tribe. Davidge, as the “worm,” rises to the proportions of a arainatic giant. In fact, the character is exactly 1n his line, and he treats it with the unction of an old master who has a dish to his liking. Miss Deltz, as usual, as the devoted young lassie, is @ rose among the thorns, and by contrast heightens the effects of the lights aud shades of the picture, Miss Vollmer 18 a pleasant uctress as denny, and, altogether, the play is interesting from ils variety of characters, 3 and situations, and from the development of a sensational story of the modein English school, The play will be repeated this evening. ‘THEODORE THOMAS’ ConcERT.—The welcome given last night to Theodore Thomas and bis unrivalled orchestra at the Central Park Garden was of a character that promises well for the summer even- ing concerts which have for 80 many seasons been a Iavorite with the public. The band was quite as numerous as usual, and was led with that enthu- slam and thorough musical appreciation for which Mr, Thomas 18 so famous, The programme was rich in selections from the best masters, and included the “Nocturne,” “Scherzo” and “Wedding: March” trom Mendelssohn. ‘the audience was very select and appreciative, and thrunged the floor, private boxes and garden promenade. To-night ‘there is another very good selection of music by this band, and on ‘Thursday evening the second part of the programme will consist of compositions of @ higher order, such as movements from symphonies, classical evertures, &c. We prophesy for these con- certs an increasingly large attendance, and, judging from last night, tuey will thoroughly deserve it. GERMAN JUBILEE iN PHILADELPHIA. Imposing Demonstrations—Twenty Thou- sand Men in Procession. ENTHUSIASM FOR THE FATMERLAND. PHILADELPHIA, May 15, 1871, ‘The city to-day presented a gay appearance in honor of the German peace celebration, Trains from every quarter brought thousands of visitors, Houses in every section were decorated with flags and bunting. Penn square was converted into a fair ground, being lined with booths lor the sale of refreshments, Chestnut street is gorgeous, nearly every house being decorated, including hotels) and newspaper omces, At the base of the Washington Monument, in front of Independence Hall, a platform was erected, from which the procession was reviewed .by the Mayor and Council, The procession excelled any demon- stration that ever before occurred here. Almost every workshop was represented by wazons with men employed at their trades, Nearly all the large establisiments were closed to enable the workmen to participate. The bu/chers had a s.usage factory and smokehouse on wheels, and fresh sausages and slices of ham were distributed to the spectators. Bakers also made a distribution of bread. There were at least one hundred wagons with artisans at work at their trades. The procession occupied three hours in passing Third and Chestnut streets, and there were full 20,000 men in line, mostly in vehicles or on horse- back. DR. KELLNER’S ORATION. The paradg passed down Chestnut street and up Fourth to Caliowhlll and Broad, Arrived at Broad and Market streets the procession halted in front of the speakers’ stands, and speakers were introduca, Dr. Kellner, editor of the German Democrat, spoke as follows:— Welcome, here, on festive ground, ye German men! Welcome, in the name of peace, which Ger- many has given to the world—in the name of the peace whose return ye celebrate to-day, in festive attire—and with you all Philadelpma and all your fellow citizens. May it continue for- ever. The storm which has swept over Western Europe with thunder and lightning nas spent its rage. ‘Ihe dismal shades of night vanished before the fresh breath of morning; and in the Kast, over the Rhine arose the you thiul day,the gleaming dawn ol peace. And behoid! in the golden twilight sue stands on the mountain watcu upon the Rhine, the loity form, robed in flowing purple, the Emperor's ghitering diadem upon her waving locks, with verdant laurel wreaths encircling her loity brow. Germania it is, the victorious, resttog upon her battle sword. She extends the paim branch of peace in her right hand over the distant lands, Heimet and armor, shield and spear, have been cast aside, Her right hand has been maintained in dreadful contest, Home and hearth aud the reignty of her people nave been secured. The throne of the modern Cesar, who threatened her violence, has been hurled with all its grandeur to the dust. Peace she announces. Peace resounds far out over all the lands, Europe hears the cail ana it comes on its way over to us with mighty ad- monition, It 1s @ call for peace, the like of whica the world has never heard befo! It 18 the joyful tidings of a new era which Europe and the world has so long desired, The world need not fear Germany’s rule. Her empire 1s not one of the sworu, but’ of real, lasting peace, Her laws are not the des, otic commands of Roman Cesars, military tyrants and conquerors of worlds, She does not strive to rule through force, but through wisdom and truth, The yoke which Germany will Impose upon the nations is not a heavy one, but ove which wiil ease and free the world. It is called civilization, humanity and spiritual freedom, without which all. political berty 13 empty trickery and fraud, Germany’s resurrection, through blood and iron, has been accompiished, and the work of peace begins. The great and solemn mission of the German people, and of all other Germanic nations that are working and striving in the same cuases, all Germanic nations, and above ail the Anglo-Saxons and Germans, are accustomed to a restless, arauous toiling. Latin nations have no idea of the vast, thorough work of the minds and the busy perform- ing in works of peace, But the German nation, at the head o1 her associates of Germanic tr.be, has veen since centuries the tutor of nations in religion, art and science. Germany has atreaay fulfilied this mission whue it was yet strugging under the curse of political Weakuess and distrac- tion. How much more powertul, successful and crowned with blessmgs now, Where its scattered tribes have won for themselves the national unity, and where they with Germauic thoroughiess, perseverence and energy, will advance to the completion of their peopie’s empire! Not the Roman empire of the German nation of olden times has revived, but @ new anion of the German tribes, whose pattie cry will be, “Turough unity to freedom,” Before their firm unity fell the ancient foe, as will also fall all enemies of tne ople of liberty in her imterior, oe when Pineal has been reached wil Germany be sove- 118 fully equal to her mission as guardian and apostic of ace and of the freedom for Europe. It will then be able to begin its great work. In place of the despotism, the centralization of the military and police government of the Latin race, to which in France the Koman C.csarism coupled itseif, the free German State shall be based upon the freedom and equalit, of ali, upon local self-government — an sovereignty of the people, ‘The outward mock civilization, whose thin but brilliant covering displayed every movement—the brutal barbarity which lurked be- neath it, shall vanish forever before the harmonious refinement in mind and eart. Iu place of lascivious fashions, free love demoralization, frivolous degra- dation of women and corruption of men, gentility and morality, jumanity and truth sual rule, In one word, the Romanism in Stave and society shall give way torever to Germanism in we idance of the work of civilization of the humau race, What @ task! And is its solution within the bounds of possibility? History answers yea. More than once already has the Ger- manic race brought deliverance to the world ta reat historical crises from the despotism of the fin race. She overthrew Herman; and later through the migration of nations in olden tim the bioody empire of the Roman Cwsars and Pretorions, She won for herself in the epoch of Reformation, in the Thirty Yeurs’ War, freedom Of thought and religion, She brought forth those free governments in Switzeriand, Holland, bagland, and the most free of all—the Un.ted Statcs—and has created now, in the union of peace, the German national empire; akd she alone ba RIPLE been destined to erect apon the rams of Nan- barbarian ctvilization =the temple of — true culture aud humanity, and iasure there- by the new social communities of the future. Thetime has come. ‘Ti downfall of the Napoleonic empire of corruption and. of perma- nent state of war, through the resurrection of Ger- Many, awnounces this to the World, ‘The nations of Latin races may, after the overthrow of timir ancient form of state irremediabty, be helpless between tar wildest anarchy amd most brutal despotism. The time has come for the German or Tentonic race, in tae Ula as well as New World, to assume with a firm hand — the chief control of general events, ‘he torch of contagra- tion Must be extinguished, with which desperation, frivolity and ignorance threaten the lofty tempte in which the German-nations are ceasclesaly striving and toiling, only’ to be every moment mterrupted by insolent attacks ofthe Latin race, forced to lay aside the hammer and’ the pioughand take up sword defence. The time’ has come to deliver the world from the misery aha distress which ignorance and barbarity have declared permanent; to deliver it, Dot with the sword, but in the spirit and tn truth. ‘This holy task of civilization, this work of true peace, it 18 to whose fulliiment we here, in grand and solewn peace celebration, pledge our entire activity. Germany admonishes her distant sens of their duty. Her grand deliverance, the fruit of nev unity, speaks to us in earnest words of the duty we owe our new adopted fatherland. In closed phalany.of unity with our fellow citizens aré we pledged for the main- tenance of the hignest biessings of civilization against all deitier culture, all trickery and deception and corruption. We were earnestly advised that we must work with ail our enerzy withoué consideration of nationality, religion or party differences, at our own culture and refine- ment. Largely have the Germans contributed, from the day of its colonizauon to the present one, to the freedom ana welfare of this country, to the further+ ance of agriculture, industry, commerce, arts, sclences and trades, Pennsylvania and tits cit) aiford ample prooi thereof, but more than ail itis demonstrated on the present glorious day, on which German toil and German industry celebrate so bril- hhantatriumph. this place 1s thronged with thou- sands of German men to whom Philadelphia owes iis power, greatness and wealth. All around us wave innumerable banners Whi h annouace to all the world the honor and renown of German indus- wy and German trades, and proudly teil German art and perseverance under the glorious imstivu- tions of the United States; and Philadelphia and ihe whole country beholds with pride and re- spect imposing spectacie, and loudly calls, Hall! Hau! to German labor and German laborers.” But it 1s our duty to make ourselves more worthy of the task to keep high up the banner of true civilization, of genuine cultivation and thorough education of the people; that German art and science, side by side with German effort in agri- cutture and industry, may fina a permanent and from day wo day increasing ifuence in this & country. At the conclusion of Dr. Keliner’s speech, which was received with great applause, a chorus of 800 voices sang “The Watch on the Khine” very effec- tively and in such a manner as to draw forth round after round of applause from the listening multie ude, At the conclusion of the singing Colonel Forney was introduced, and spoke as follows:— SPEECH OF COLONEL J, W. FORNEY. Ido not address you only as Germans, but as Americans, and because ts magnificent demon- atrauion 18 alike an evidence of your capaciiy for self-government under free institutions and @ manifestation of your gratitude to God for the deliverance of your: Fatherland from tne horrors of foreign couquest and — subjugation. (Cheers.) The Old Country, trom which most of you came, may proudly boast of its superiority in art and i arms; but there are few pages in history, an- cient or modern, to parallel the scene through which we have passed this delightful day. Here | we witness the tiumph of the triple elements of periect freedom of opinion and religion, periect freedom of speech and perfect treedom of labor. Here we witness the splendid evidences of the skill of the hands and the imvention of the brains. And when we reflect that tus is the expression of only one nationality: that the mighty cavalcade which has Just poured through our streets, clad in all the colors of the rainbow, carrying trophies of finished toll, including specimens of domestic manufacture, enlivened by exhibitions of masculine strengitn and femaie beauty, and all sanctified by excellent order, sobriety, decorum and goow taste, what may we not expect when a little more nan five years hence the vast ocean composed of representative men of all tribes on this Continent shall sweil through our streets and testify their gratitude to the same God you worship to-day on tne completion of the one hundredth year of American Independence. (Applause.) And when this imposing demonstration ts reinforced by contributions of peoples of other civiliza- tions we may, perhaps, from this unparalleled day, ‘orm some tiea of the coming cele bration of the centennial of human liberty. (Cheers.) Proud as lam of being the humbiest of the posterity of a long line of German ancestors, there is, as I have sald, something more touch- Sh ‘isn. 1 oe WASHINGTON.

It has been the custom for the Secretary to confirm all appolatmemts made ¥y collectors of ports and the names have heretofore: been published as fast ab confirmed, Collector Murphy, it appears, desires to keep the names of his favorites out of the New York papers, and Secretary Boutwell, in deference to his request, has ordered that all appomtments ta New York shall hereafter be withheld from the press, Collector Murphy has, tm ac- knowledgment of the favor granted, written ® let- ter to the Secretary returmmg “very many many thanks” for the accommodation. The object the Coliector of the Port of New York has in view 1s not understood at the Treasury Department. Laxuguration of the New Territorial Govern- ment. The new Territorial government for Columbia was inaugurated to-day, there being a large number in attendance at the Metzarot Building to witness the proceedings, ineluding the organization of the Legislative Assembly. Frederick Douglass was elected Vice President of the Council or upper branch. The Governor, in his message, stated that the funded debt of Georgetown will not exceed $250,000, while it 18 estimated that of the city of Washington is over two millions, with one willion of floating debt. The recelpts of Washington tor general taxation are $1,500,000 per annum. The Governor makes recommendations relative to the finances, puplic schools, charities, &¢., and the Board of Public Works, and suggests various im- provements, Payment of Interest on Registered Stock of the New Loan. Acircular was issued by Secretary Boutwell to- day in which he says it has been determined by the department to pay the interest on the registered stock of new loans, acts of July 14, 1870, and January 20, 1871, by check to the order of the party in whose name the stock is registered, and the check will be transmitted by matl to the address of the holder when furnished, otherwise it will be sent to the care of the Assistant Treasurer or de- pository where the interest is to be paid. It 1s re- quested, in orer to enable the department to trans- nit these checks by mail, that all parties subserib- ing to che new loan or having transfer made to them, will furnish their correct post office addresses and ad- vise the department of any change at least fifteen days before the interest days. During the fifteen days Immediately preceding the interest days, 1st February 1st May, 1st August and 13t November the transfer books will be closed for the purpose of preparing the checks. If the stock is not presented for trans- er previous to the closing, the interest wili be declared to the person to whom the trans- ferred certificate was issued, and the assig- hees must look to that party for the accrued interest to which he may be entitled, ing and heart-cheering in the fact that this 1s also a peculiar American manites tation. (Applause.) It 18 needicss to say how profoundly I join with you in your felicitations the suecess of the German cause m the recent | great struggle. How, from first to last. 1 given whatever of honest purpose or inteltect 1 may have to the great movement wich began on the of yuh july, 1870, and terminated on the 1st of Maren, 1871.

Perhaps the age oD has gone, and if so let us welcome the uge of merchant manufacturers, ‘This great city, sixty years ago the seatol great mercantue marine, has assumed, uuder the aus- pices of free institutions, and = espe- cially under the influence of the pro- tection of American industry, the front rank in the science of skilled labor. As your tong line assed through our streets this morning, each rade symbolized by its special banners and productions, 1 recalled the years the past, when indepenaent labor was crushed, when there was no such thing as independent thought and independent action; when the toler was ued like a slave to the soil he tilled; when the prince owned the peasant, and when su‘ @ thing as representative liberty was either dis- carded as an idle dream or punished as a crime. (Applause.) Hail to German race! Hail to the men, women and _ chilaren ot the land of Guttenburg, Goethe, Schiller, Hum- boidt and mozart! Hail to the land that gave us the unapproachable invention of printing, from which was born the free press, that now dominates the | world and controls, while it regulates, the liberties of America!

Collection of the Tax a1 nds. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue to-day received from the Secretary of the Treasury a letver transmitting a copy of the opinion of the Attorney General reversing his decision of January last in roperly ashing- ew York, Tegard to the collection of tax on divi- dends, &c., for the last five months of 1870, and which order of the Commissioner Was based upon the construction of the act of July 14, 1870, as well as upon the gqpinion ex. pressed by the members of the Senate Committee on Finance and the House Committee on Ways and Means. The letter of Secretary Boutwell concluded as follow Concurring in the opinion of the Attorney Gen- ral, 1 have to request that you will tssue the nm sary directions to officers of the internal re’ for the assessment and coliection of the taxes in question from the persons and corporations liavie un«er the ruling of the Attorney General. * Upon the receipt of the letter Commissioner Pleasonton promptly prepared a circular of instruc- tions to assessors and collectors, in which he gays:— In accordance with the instructions of the Secre- tary of the Treasury of May 13, 1871, the previous decision of this bureau is hereby revoked under the ruling of the Attorney General. After quoting the questions submitted by the See- retary, which were answered In the affirmative, and published in these despatches of yesterday, the cir- cular concludes as follows:— Collectors and assessors will govern themselves pecbsakl Mm assessing and collecting the taxes embraced In the above mentioned cases. Solicitor McMichael, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, concurs in the original order of General Pleasonton, which, he considers, was only made in the interest of the taxpayer, and that it was never intended to deprive the government of a single dollar of just tax. The fact that the framers of the bill, under which these differences of opinion have ar isen, all agree that the construction given to theact by the Attorney General was never intended by Congress, fully sustains the first order of the Commisstoner, while it also shows that tt 1s his policy to accord to the taxpayer rights that under previous Commissioners, it appoars, was not the policy of the government to respect.
