ROMERO, * Mexico, May 22, 1877, Mr Daan Sin—As you speak to mo about the present condition of this country, | will communicate to you my views on this subject. You are well aware that I have been opposed to all revolutions, because | thought we needed to consolidato our institutions, and this object coald not be attained as long as wo were bubjoct to the violont commotions of military revolt. With this viow of the caso I always supported Presi- dents Juarez and Lerdo agatnst all insurrections and rebellions, DIAZ. RUBPRCTS THE CONSTITUTION, Unfortunately Mr. Lerdo’s administration could not Stand againat the last revolution headed by General Diaz, and it was overthrown in November last Mr, Lerdo could not make a stand after leaving this city and had to leave the country. General Diaz has, after the country has recognjzed him, taken some steps to come back to the constitutional order of things. He calied for the election of a House ot Representatives, Prosident of the Republic and members of the Supreme Court and has recently called for the election of Sen- ators, He: has now all the army undor him, and the whole country obeys his authority. Under such condition of things it 1s dificult for a patriotic Mexican bo decide what course to take. To support the pres. ent government might seem to contribute the consolt- dation of w revolution by movement, while opposing it will certainly jead to another Jong and bloody war which will rain the country, and in the very doubtful supposition that Genoral Diaz’s administration should be overthrown, would bring aboct, not the restora. Hon of Mr, Lerdo, but either anarcly or the elevation bfa leader of far less influence thau Geuoral Diaz, TNE PRESIDENTS CHARACTER. Genora!

Excepting bis pronuncia- mentos, which I cannot approve of, he ts a inan with- but reproach, UX ASKS AMERICAN RECOGNITION, Taking thereloro these and other considerations, 1 think all Mexicans wishing the good of thetr country wuldectde to support General Dwz's ‘administration; this is atleast the course J havo decided to pursue, Those who desire the peace and prosperity of this coun: try and the maintenance of friendly rela. tions =owith =the United States would like to see General Diaz’s government recognized by tho administration at Washington as early as possible Those who intend to bring about a war against the present incumbents lay great strength on the fact that the United States continue to recognize the Lerdo gov- ernment as the government of Mexico. The early recognition of thxyadministration by the United Statics will therefore contribate in some measure to consoli- date the peace in Mexico, I confidentiy bope that when the United States government will be informed of the condition of things in Mexico they will recog- nize General Diaz’s aaministration. Iam, very respecttuily, your obedient servant, R, ROMERO, LETTER PROM M, DE ZAMACONA, Mexico, May 16, 1877, My Dear Stx—I feel very bappy in complying with your demre to know my opinion about the public situa- tion of Mexico, [ruth must nover be hidden, and less to those who are abie to spread it in ‘places whero orroucous ideas prevail, 1 will tell you uothing about our Jast revolntion or about tho means by which It became successful, This question, historic and abstract to a cortain extent is not to-day the most op- voriune for the Mexican statesmen. | must protest to you, Dotwithstanding, that | fee! bound to believe my- self one of the most devoted friends of the constitu- tionsl institutions of Mexico, and one of those who have made some eflorty for remedying the errors of our government by the pacific means furnished by the constitutional mechanism, VAILOSOPUICAL REASONING. A revolution however has tuken place in our Ree public, and our present probiem 1s to choose suoh men and such means as may teat the country to constitu. tional liberty, peace and prosperity. In other word: our prinoipal and practical question now 1s this:—- Who is more reas and capable to procure for Mexico those great advantuges—General Diaz or lis oppoucnts? Among tho latter there are some who. have given up all claims to the supreme power aud are only waiting for tho opportunity to save their personal dignity by acknowleaging that tho Mexienn people have accepted the consequences vl tue Tevoluteu.

SPECULATIONS ON THE RESULT OF I18 MISSION IN EUROPE—AWAITING HIS RETURN. * in Gnancial circles and ‘business quarters gen there was, yesterday, a great deal of discussion on | account of the expectec arrival of President Wilham H, Vanderbilt, of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company. th was um derstood {rom what Mr. Vamderbtit bad said previous ‘to bis departure for Kucope on the 2d of jast month ‘has he would make bis visit there brief as he pos- sibly could, while attending to the business ‘which he bac in contemplation and at the same time secure Beeded rest and relaxation trom bis arduous duties and the worry of the events of the past year. No ope, bowever, appeared to belicve that he would retura at this early day.

Beither he nor probably any one connected with th York Centra! except Mr, Vanderbilt bumsel! could give & positive answor, yet there was votthe slightest room | for doubt that Air, Vanderbitit’s vist to Kurope was Premeditated and carried ot with tho intent and for ‘he purposes already mentioned. There hus becn much, said this authority, to induce Mr, Vanderbilt to such a course, XEPonTER—W hat do you consider the greatest of the difficulties that Sir, Vandorbilt bas had to confront? “There have been a multitude, but perhaps the greatest of them all bas beea the lack of integrity on ‘he partot some of tho ower trunk lines to ‘tot in she matter of Enateru-vound ireigbis. The sai complaint, as everybody knows, basa frequently been Made in respect to the Western bound treights. but us ninety-nine one-hundredths of the contracts of the New York Ventral do not expire until the Ist prox., and as that company Js party to the recont agreemoot for pooling the West-bound froights, Mr. Vanderbilt, it is said, feels much less concerned about that branch ot the business of the line,” THK WERT-ROCND PREIGHTS, Revorter—Notwithstandiag this you might think that Mr. Vanderbilt has shortened bis risit to Enropo bound Ireights.
