BATTLE BETWEEN ALVAREZ AND JIMENES, Peace Elsewhere in the Re- public. Temporary Organization of the National Congress. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD, ] Crry or Mexico, March 1, Via Havana, March 7, isin} Peace reigns, so far asis known, throughout the country, excepting in the State of Guerrero, where General Don Diego Alvarez is in arms against the government of Porfirio Diaz, and in favor of José Maria Iglesias, . At first Alvarez appeared to accept the situation, but finally concluded to “pronounce” against the government which has come into power through the instrumentality of the “plan of Tuxtepec.”” THE ANTECEDENTS OF ALVAREZ. The Present General Alvarez is a son of old Gen- eral Don Juan Alvarez, the contemporary of Guer- rero (after whom the State of that name is called), Bravo, Iturbide, Santa Anna and the other heroes of Mexico's struggle for independence. Juan Alva- Tez established for himself in Guerrero an independ- ent patriarchal form of government, sometimes in accord and sometimes otherwise with the general government. The present General Don Diego Al- varez is not a regularly educated inilitary man, but has had extensive experience at the side of his father, who was popularly known as ‘The Tiger," when, on several occasions the latter opposed by force of arms the ambitious schemes of Santa Anna until at last the Dictator marched a formidable torce against Acapulco, bombarded the castle and obliged Alvarez to come to terms. OAN ALVAREZ KEEP THE FIELD? We are told here in the City of Mexico that Al- varez has abandoned Acapulco, but this means very little, as the inhabitants of that small seapors are always faithful to the fortunes of Alvarez—father and son. Besides, the place being built at the foot of a high range of hills, running away back into the interior, is untenable as a derensive position against land forces. La Providencla, the family hacienda, around which a considerable town sprung up under the encouragement of the elder Alvarez, is a point about which the government troops may meet with considerable resistance. The capital of the State, the large town of Chilpancingo and sev- eral passes which command the crossings of the River Balzas, will prove formidable obstacles to General Jimenes, who, however, is not unac- quainted with the topography of the scene of opera- . ri tions. NO DETAILS OF THE LATE BATTLE. As is usual down here, we are left in the dark as to the details of the important battie which was fought last week between the forces of the govern ment General Jimenes and the rebels under Al- varez. We are told that 300 were killed and many hundreds wounded. Judging from past events here this would suppose a force of 3,000 men en" gaged on the part of the government, and between 4,000 and 5,000 on that of AJvarez. This com- mander is reported to be now in the mountain fast- nesses of Guerrero, to dislodge him from which will cost the government a@ great deal of trouble and expense. DANGBR AHEAD FOR DIAZ The danger now to be apprehended is that the late powerful enemies of Diaz, who are scattered throughout the country, should attempt to raise the standard of rebellion in their several States or go to swell the ranks of Alvarez. If the revolution- ists now in the field should gain one decided ad- vantage the fall of Diaz would be as rapid as that of Lerdo. WHAT WILL TUE MEXICAN CONGRESS DO? ‘The preliminary meeting of the new national Congress took place the day before yesterday, when a temporary organization was efected. The condition of the country issuch that the most un- remitting attention on the part of Congress wili be required to place public affuirs on even a tolerable footing. The public revenues are in a desperate state, and their collection is neither faithfully nor eMciently carried out. The very large armed forces that are still under pay of the government cat up every dollar that the Secretary of the Treasury can reach, and the worst of it is that ifthe government should disband the auxiliary troops they would, as has happened frequently before, take the fleld in bands of different kinds against the very adminis- tration which they have calied into power. Not- withstanding the energy of Diaz he will have to guard against the machinations of a powertul reac- tion, MORMON MURDERER SENTENCED. Beaver, Utah, March 7, 1877.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.1 Sr. Lovts, March 7, 1877. There is much displeasure among republicans here over the Cabinet appointments of President Hayes, the expression of disgust being unconcealed and Strongly pronounced. The selection of Evarts is considered a direct affront to Senator Conkling; that of ‘Thompson a rebuke to Morton, and the ignoring of Blaine an insult to the entire republican party. Schurz has long been unpop- ular with leaders of the party in Missouri, and they condemn his appointment because ho is in no sense a representative of true republicanism.

LIVELY CONTEST AMONG OHIO REPUBLICANS— MATTHEWS AND GARFIELD THE FAVORITES IN THE BETTING, WITH THE CHANCES IN MATTHEWS’ FAVOR, ° [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] Couvmscs, Ohio, March 7, 1877. John Sherman’s resignation as United States Sena- tor is expected here on Friday, and the tulk as to his successor is getting lively. Stanley Matthews, Con- grossman Garfield, ex-Governor Noyes, Judge Taft, Aaron F, Perry and Samuel Shellabarger aro all mon. tioned in this connection, The republicans will hold a caucus to-morrow night to consider the Senatorial question, It is probable that each of the gentlemen named above will have some votes, but the real fight is already practically narrowed down to Mattbews and Garfield, who both have warm triends and shrewd man- agers looking after their interests, and it will bo nip and tuck between them at the start; but it looks now as if, when Noyos’ friends find be canuot be nomi- nated, they will go to Matthows. + The break once ted will give Matthews such a lead that the ad- neral or substan. mirers of candidates who coutrol but few votes will desire to be on the winning side and so elect Matthews, PRESIDENT HAYES’ PREFERENCK, It 18 quietly reported that Matthews is«President Huyes’ first choice, It is nov at all likely that Hayes will use bis personal influenco to secure the eloction of any particular man, but there ig uo doubt that as Matthews is bis warm personal friepd bis elevation to the Senate would be particularly gratifying to the President.

The democrats, being in a minority, aro of course without hope of electing a man of their political choice, and so liope to induce Cbarles H. Grosvenor, Speaker of the House, to consent to run as an indo- pendent candidate The democrats agreed on this plan, and leading members of the party waited on Grosvenor, saying that if he would agree to this schemo he could be clected without 4 doubt, as it would onty reanire eleven republican votes to bring about this result. Mk. GROSVENOR SAYS NO. A HERALD correspondent called on Mr. Grosvenor to-day to learn what ho knew regurding this schem: Mr. Grosvenor said such proposition had been su! mitted to him, accompanied by an curnest request that it be accepted. He said he was assured that tho neces- veu republican votes could surely be found, that was asked of bim was to consent to the plan and keep quiet Ho said that he told the presenting this request that he would not being a scheme; that while the Sena- torship was a prize to be sought for, yet it was not worth having when in order to got it a man was forced to sell himself out and practically go back on all bis Party associates, und thus disgrace himself and bring dishonor on his friends. He insisted that the schome be dropped at once, which was promptly done BARB COMPLIMENTS NOT SOUGHT. Asimilar coquetting was undertaken with another Tepublican member, but will amount to nothing, and whoever is chosen will bea republican and elected by republicans. The democrats have not yet decided who thoy will compliment with their votes. Pendieton and Frank Hurd bave been sq; but as the honor at best is an empty one candidates are not pressing. WAITING FOR MB. TILDEN. HUNDREDS OF OHIO DEMOCRATS, VICTIMS OF A JOKE, GATHER TO GREET THE DEFEATED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE—A GRUMBLING SPEECH FROM GENERAL EWING. [Br TELEGRAPH TO THE HeRaLp.] Corvmecs, Ohio, Maroh 7, 1877, A report was started here this afternoon that Mr, Tilden would pass this point at four o’clock on bis way to New Orleans. The report spread like wildfire. Democratic ward organizations were rallied, brass bands secured and a procession marched tothe rail- road depot, where over a thousand people had assem- bled long before the train came, Alter they had been waiting some time it leaked out that Mr. Tilden was not expectod, but that Member of Congress Walling, ot this district, was on the train. This caused much growling and swearing, but tho majority good naturodly accepted the ‘‘sell.’” Having mado up their minds to boar a speech from some one the crowd cheered loudly for General Tom Ewing, who was among those who were sold, Mr. Ewing mounted a baggage truck and spoke as follows:— GENERAL MWING NOT SATISFIED, Feiiow Citizexs—We came here expecting to pay our respects to Mr. Tilden personally, and especially asthe legally elected President of the United States, We are disappointed that ho 16 not here, but we have recently met more serious disappomtments. During the first century of our Republic the choice of a PA@si- dent by the people at the ballot box has been accepted by tho opposition; for a century the judiciary sat aloft and were above partisan bias, but unfortunately wo now see the people defeated in their choice of a President by x set of organ. ed scoundrels and the judicial ermine trailed in the dust. Tho acquiescence in this result is not due to lack of courage or munhvod on the purt of the people, but rather to thetr inherent love of law.

NOT TO BE REPEATED, It was tho crime of the republican leaders which de- prived the majority of the people of their choice this time, but it wili be the crime of the American people if another usurper ever be permitted to take nis seut as President, In future this people will choose their President at the ballot box, and neither revurning boards nor Congress, the resident, tbe army, the navy, nor the ermine shall ever intortere again to prevent the inauguration of a legaily elected Pre: a Tho train on which Mr, Tilden was expecter now coming in, and go let’s go and seo if ho ts here or not, m8 COMETH NOT, The train thundered in. and, notwithstanding they had beon apprised of the “sell.” hundreds of peoplo crowded about the curs, calling “Tiiden!

General Julio Sanguili and his brother, Colonel Man- uel Sanguili, were found yesterday alternoon by the writer in the oftice of Mr. Miguel Aldama, No. 50 Exchange place, ‘The General, who is suffering from severe wounds received on many well fought floids, is a man of perhaps thirty-throe or thirty-four years of age, slight of build and spare of Babit; has a squarely cut, woll shaped head, of a military mould, Lot unlike that of General Diaz, the President of rounded chin and firm lips decision. Sanguill, his brother the Colonel, Colonel Pacheco and Colonel Juav Ferrer, secretary of Pr dent Estrada, together with eight of a boat's lof, the Cuban Hues on the 23d of January, They em barked on a small boat at the south side of the island, in the district of Camaguay, and alter forty hours of vorable navigation the party reached Jamaica, The Cuban General claims that the military si\uation in Cuba is very favorable to the cause of independence, ‘The President of Cuba, Don Tomas Estrada, persoualiy commands the army jo the eld. General Maximo Gomez is Secretary of War, and is at the seat of gov- ernment io Camaguay. Tue Cubaa national forces are divided {nto three army corps, The First corps, which oporates in the Eastern Vepurtinout, is under the orders of General Modesto Diaz; tne Second, whicao Camaguay, 1s commanded by General Vie jarcta, and the Th b ts stationed in the Cinco Villas district, provisionally loilows the lead ot General Rolo, eral Martinez Campos has been able to accom.

Baracoa; and close upon the heels of this achiovement General Vicente Garcia made a successful demonstration against Cauto el Rio, In the mouth of January last General Benitez threutoned tor several days tho important city of Puerto Principe (Cama. guey) and the Spaniards did not dare to offer hin battle in the open field. However, three days after Bonitez had retired they did venture out, ana au unim- portant action was fought ata plice culled Peraivjos, seven leagues to the southeast from Puerto Principe, NOTHING LESS THAN INDEPRNDENCE. At Kingston General Svnguill and those who ac- companied him heard rumors of a movement being on foot (or a treaty with Spain on the basis of a local government for Cuba, the island atiil to remain under the crown of Spain, The General says that such an arrangement is utterly impossible, The Cuban Con- gress long ago passed laws which declare that th patriots will never treat with the Spaniards but vpor the condition of their national independence. has now her military record and political bistory, therctore she will stand or fali by the issue of the Present struggic, Mr, Miguel Aliama, the late Cuban agent, spoke in tho same sense, Mr. Aldama, sin the abolition of tho Cuban agency, has been apposnt special attorney for the Repubtic, and Mr. Echeverria romaing us diplomatic ngent in thiscouatry. THR PRESENT MOVEMENTS, The efforts of the Spanish troops are now sensibly folt only in the eastern portion of the island, aud in nearly all other parts the roads are open to tho Cub: The patriots aro much better provided now with arms and ammunition than formerly; out still they do not possess these materials in sufticient quai tity either to arm the Crane who are ready to receive them, or to juatify a combived offensive Movement against the enemy. The Cubans now make ther own powder, but lend and metallic ammunition are scarce; however, tho Spanish troops furnish these important items’ from time to time, according to tho exigencies ot the cir- cumstances, At Moron tho Spaniards aro constructing a rallroad across tue ‘Trocha, from wert to east, for the purpose, if possible, of absolutely cutting off com. munteation between fthe patriots In the Claco Villas district and the Eastern department, The Cubans do not attach any importance to this military railroad scheme. They say that largo numbers of Spaniards are now fighting for Cuba, aud that as the King’s trow are irregularly and badly paid by the officers ot Don Allonso, very many. more will go over to the ranks of There 1s a frighttut amount of sickness amoug h troops, and the works around Moron aro nothing short of being great military hos. pital, GENERAL SANGUILE BERENADED, Last night Goneral Sapgaili was serenaded by Gratulla’s band at the head of a large and euthusiestic gathering of Cubans, The rendezvous was the Fifth Avenue foter, from whence the serenaders marched to No, 164 West Twenty-third street, where Sapguili ts staying. Here there was a sceno of hearty rejoicing and enthusiastic welcominys, which must have been gratetul to the brave companion of the lamented General Ignacio Agi ‘A largo delegation of the most distingul: ing in New York were present, ani speeches were mado by Sangutli, Aldama and ot CHARITY AND CORRECTION, A PLEA FOR THEIR SEPARATION—THE PROPER POLICY TOWARD THE POOR, At @ meeting of the Medico-Legal Society hela last evening a number of important subjects were discussed, Among the subjects brought up was that of the health of chlidron in tho puolic schools, It was shown, by referenco to a report of the examination of the pupils im the Normal Col- logo, that near-sightedness is on the increase, A paper was read beforo the society in which it was ated that, in view of the importance to the puvlic health, as well as to the health of the papils in the public schools, a number of our most prominent medi- cal men earnestly recommend the passage of the bill introduced by the Hon, James W. Gerard providing for the sanitary inspection and supervision of common achools in the city of Now York. After the regular order of business was disposed ot, the President introduced Dr. Samuel A. Raborg, who proceeded to read the paper of the evoning—“Is tho Connection of Charity and Correction in the City of Now York Beneficial? What Should Bo the Policy of a Great City Towards Its Poort”? The Doctor began his discourse by announcing that a certain percontage of the people, from various causes, wero unable to pi vide for themselves. These had to bo provided for and protected. Going back to tho history of the earlt- est charter granted to the city, he poiwted out how tho treatment of both criminals and pwapers under tho one head of charities and correction had its origin, The practices pursued in olden times wags brought down, with few moditications, to tho present days, The deserving poor, the uofortunat and those who, from force of circumstances, a driven to beg for bread or seok public sholter are placed side by side with the vicious and the dishonest, tis time that a protest be enterod against a continu. ance of such asystem, lo the cause of bumanity and of political economy an alteration shoulu be mad Previous to 1831 no reports were made of the procee: ings of the associations or comm care of tho criminals and paups G. Leonard was commissioner of the 1848, BARLY PRACTICES, The first report of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction was made in 1861. Under Mayor Hall, in 1870, the Board was reorganized and several changes made, In 187) stil other alterations were effected in the Board; but no effort was made to bring about a reformation, which in the estimate of the speaker was ono Which deserves the closest attention on the part of every thinking man, and that if the separation of the deserving poor from the criminal ‘ Dr. Raboid described night scenes ho witn in some of the police statious. Close, miserably venti- lated rooms, packed with every class of uolortanates who sought « night's shelter, Vagabouds, tramps and thieves were huddled together wiih honest and de- serving people, who were lorced by poverty to sock the shelter of a root, This state of things ought not to continue, Over six millions of dollars was spent last year for the support of our pauper and criminal classes, Dr. Rabolf svought that the only way to meet the difficulty was by the appointment of a Commissioner of Charities to have the entire charge of the poor and Jot the criminals go over to the onder mercies of ine police, The Comintasioner ought to have tho asnist- ance ofa number of gentiewen irrespective of creed or party to advise and consult with, and the speaker had vo doubt that th @ many philanthropic indi- viduals in the city who would willingly serve in so =good cause and keep politicians away, The influence of polities on the xdministration of affairs at Bellovue Hospital might servo as an tllustra- tion of ite baneful effects, Biot out politics from our charities. dow is it possible to expect rich and charitably disposed people to give of their bounty if they know that the practices pur- sued by politicians would characterize the conduct of institutions devoted to charitable purposes. Tho speaker thought there was a great deal of unuecossary charity, The creation of the office of a Commissioner of Charity, whose duty it would be to ascertain who wore deserving of reliel, Would correct many evils. ‘amps, Idle and evil disposed persons should be sepa- raved Irom those who are inciiued to earn a living honestly.
