The press in gen- eral howls, A romor bas it that unless the American question assumes a milder aspect the new Congress is to appoint President Diaz a tull fledged dictator, with powersample, &c. Also that Diaz tuinks of asking Congr tor permission to proceed to the frontier and personally to assume command of thoarmy there, 1n the arsenal bere an extra forec bas been put on, work- ing dey and night, manufacturing fixed rifle ammuni- ton, SUPPRESSION OF INSURRECTIONS, All the late rebellious risipgs seem to bave been crusbed out of existence. Amador killed, Martinez and Palacios surrendered and Fernandez skipping about the mountains hke a spring lamb, 1n the eup- pression of all this trouble the Ieutenants of Dinz have shown great promptness, and the only pity is that the pronunciados spring up like mushrooms after a good rain in this country. Astreet fiht between two men may in ap hour’s time have developed into fa good sized revolution. Escobedo will be bere in a day ortwo, General Naranjo has brought him from Monterey, ana he also bas Palacios under bis charge. MILITARY ROW NIPPHD IN TOR BUD, When Lerdo was abont to throw up the sponge the commander of tho Filth intaotry was Colonel Ci- ceres. Being of a conciliatory turn of mind, he bar- gained with Diaz to turn tn for him if ho would be re- tained colonel of his regiment for ever and aye, On this basis he entered the sts tor Tuxtepeco. It was suspected a little while ago that Mr. Caceres had be- come disaffected, so the powers that be determined to rale him out. On the 4th inst, the Sceretary of War sent for the Colonel for a friendly chat in bis office and casually remarked, ‘Oh, by the way, my dear tellow, we have concluded to change you from the command of the Fifth to that of some other regi- ment”? Witn a scewl and a growl the Colonel said, “Go to the devil with your changes! I came over to your party with tne understanding that I was to re- tain my regiment, and now you come more of your games on me!’ He knew very well that if onco he were relieved from command he might walt till doomsaay for another biblot. . “Well, Colonel, wo will see. Go to your quarters, new,” replied the Secretary of War. Away went the apgry warrior to the quarters of his regimentin this ctty. Arrived there, he at once called together his oflicers ond explained the situa- tion tothem. They ali swore high and loud to stick to him and by no means to allow him to bo removed. Next camo an all-important etep, The sergeants had to be talked over, No regiment in Mexico 18 ready to make a fass till the nov-coms have beon gained, and they in tarn persuade the privates. So in column file, Paique (a national intoxicating drink) and orandy were sent for, the dear fellows wero fiattored a littie on their intelligence aud soldierly qualities, and finally the subject was breached to thom. Of courso they would not their amiablo warborso thus wronged, and vowed to stay with bim to the jaat drop ol—liqnor, Tongues became heavy and wero barely able to lian, “*Yosnight, love, to-night.” That same night, then, on the 4th inst., the interesting coremony of pronouncing was to be pertormod.

The Zabertad of August 30 says, im an article ept!- tled “Mr. Hayes? Protepsions and Earopean Interests in Mexico:”— “The Trait 4’Union states that the envoy ot Mr. Hayes asks of this government permission for Ameri- can troops to occupy certuin strategical points on Mexican territory, and that this government, nolens volens, nuke @ commercial treaty especially javorable to the Americans, to the prejudice of European inter- ests.”? * * * * * * * “Without being connected with the State Depart- ment tho Z7ratt d’Union published the most complete nows about that memorandum which Secretary Val- larta wanted kept secret. * * * Wo believe that the statements of that paper deserve attention.’? Then the Libertad goes on hoping that the govern- ment will not agree to anything of that sort, but should rather favor European commerce more than American. Tho Monztor of August 29 says regarding Diaz:— * * * “At the crisis where we have arrived it still remains a mystery to the nation what ig the dominant idea, what the programme the government that bas undertaken to gaide its destinies has mapped out in its policy.”” Tne Monitor (which is the Hxzanp ot Mexico) says August 80:— “Altbough tho nation has during the lato revolts proven its degirofor poace the situation is far from being fair. Everywhere is folt the toy breath ot dis- trust paralyzing society, bringing with it want of re- quest for labor, insecurity, misery, something terrible that seems to pervade the very atmosphere, keeping the spirits iu that mute alarm preceding great events, “Timo pusses, and disappointmonts begin to accu- mulate, Tho delusion of the men in power does not allow them to clearly see the legitimate tendencies of the nation, and instead of satisiyiug them it abandons itself to its own capricious inspirations, Again, the government cannot comply with the exactions of all those who, with or without just claims, wish to bask in the shades of power, Thus the discontent is gradually assuming greatness, Th> unsatisiea am- bition of some persons will skilfully know how to manipulate this discontent, and so will come to be orgaaized what among us is known as @ revolutionary movement, ending by overthrowing the combated administration, creating a new one In its place, which will ron the some circle, presenting {n Ite turn the samo features, © * * We must not forget that the question of arms ts easily solved, 60 long as the people shows Itself docile and addicted to its government; but the question becomes formidable from the moment when the unpopularity does not allow tts men in power to take a singlo step.” When the leading paper in Mexico, with the ablest writers in tue land, peaceably inclined, not sensa- tional, speaks thus, we can no longor doubt that tho situation is grave.

Y., Sept. 24, 1878, Proceedings at the County Court Houso to-day havo been tho most enlivening and interesting of any that have marked the past twelve days of the Billings murder trial, The evidence was of a momentous na- ture to both sides, and especially to the defonce. The entire day was absorbed in eliciting the testimony of the Washburue family, on whose prezeniation of facts or allegatious Mr, Billings has placed great stresz, The resgon for his so doing ie very evident, inasmucn ag the detence have from the outset directed all their proof toward fixing dis- tinctly the moment that the sbooting occurred and ufter having a dozen witnesses examined to deter- mine the precise time of the shoo:ing they brought out the connecting link te the theory they havo been endeavoring to establish. This was found in the Washburne family, at whose house Mr. Billings wasin the early part of the evening of the homicide. The prigoner’s Counsel have auring the past four days beep gradually developing their testimony in order that the timo when Mrs, Billings was shot might be indubitably named, Following up that/@Ourse they have focussed all their strength on this point and to. day have been endeavoring to harmonizo the aesump- tions of their witnesses with the presen@e of Mr, Bulings at the Waenburnes’ house, EVIDENCE OF THE WABHBURNE PAXTLY. When these lust named witnesses, foar in number, were placed on the stand the interest in the trial im- mediately augmented, The respective counsel ex- hibited an activity and hostility which clearly showed that both sidos realized that an importaut crisis in the trial would be reached belore the day’s close, The testimony of the Washbarnes forms an impor. tani epooh ia the history of the case. Tho father, mother and two grown children, male and femule, positively asserted that Mr. Billings came to their hous three to four minutes before eight; others of tho family testified that the shot was heard; that be came in and aciod in a perfectly natural munner; that he announced his errand as simply one for busi- ness purposes ; that he was 1D a jocose ana unagitated mood; tuat be conversed freely about commonplace suvjects and inquired about tho schooling experiences of the young man; that when toid of Mra, billings’ in- Jury without bearing of ber death he fell into a sem:- unconscious state, bad bo be Lelped into a wagon, aad muttered, “Too bad, too bad.” ?

Stephen La Peict, a French Canadian, was next producod and sworu to auother point which the do- Jence offered to prove in there opening romarks—viz., that & man was seen running from the vicinity ot Bilhngs’ house immediately alter the shooting.

This would seom to correspond with Jennto’s assertion avout see- logaman fleo from the yard witn gray clothes and slouch hat as she ran out on the front porcn alter her mother was shot. It seems im trying to avoid La Point and bis associate on the footpath the fugitive ran across a wood pile and pooi of waier where he stumbled and lost his hat, a black slouch, one which was iound the next morno- ing, and will bo produced iu court and ideniiied to- morrow, This completely answers tho description given threo i!mes by Jenaie within a few hours alter the murder, until nor grandmother, Mrs, Har- ris, admoaished ber “nov story again.” These developm nly present @ new phnée io the case, and at the time are now tn- have boen the murderer he was cognizant of the deed and of the perpetrator.

The only «ign of nervousness he exhibited while giving his testimony, which insted all tho afternoon and was not concluded when the court closed for the day, was the rather frequont moving of oue band over toe lower part of his face, Once counsel noticed this, and sug- gested the removal of his hand, that his words might be heard more distinctly, Ho comptiea with the sug- gestioa, His story was told with great rapidity, so that he had to bo requested several times to sponk slower, His story was entirely coherent, and Crows-examiuation aid not entangle or embarrass htm, it was observed by spectators that few men could maintain such composure, whether innocent or gulity, Under such a protracted and severe ordeal Mrs. May. don Was not present, thoagh the usual numbor of ladies wero in the agdionce, which was somewbat di. mintehed. Phovographic views, made by New Haven artista, representing the scene of tho tragedy aad its surroundings, wore inirodaced by the State, and Hayden jooked at them, Bonjomin Stevens Was apparently deoply interested through- out Hoyden's testimony, and was watebing him ine tently, The crovs examination of Hayden will ve con- cloded tu-morrow forenoon, and tho defence expects to close during the day. ‘Lhomthe State will require from a day (0a ond a-half (or rebuttal, £0, prob. ably, the remainder of the week will be cousumed in the pearing, It i th seston that tay. den wii not be bound over, but if he did not commit tho ofime the mystery Is apparoutly inserutavlo, TUN RVIDENCE, At the opening of the Hearing this moratag Jadgo Harrison requested (hat the witnesses lor the delence should bo separated, so that nelther could fear what another said Mrs, Taleott Davis, the fret witness eatied, tes tied that she lived near Mtr, ilaydon’s House and had known Mr. and dite itayden fe tho date of their coming to Rocklund; she had boon on intimate terms With them; had vieited them equently, una thoy were Very ullvotionate; she wu av tue Loose Sup morning, about thre months ago, when Mr, Hayden's jitte voy Le jug that be Dad out bimselt with ty (ibis to show that the blood on Haya knile peod Wot Lave come necesserily from the thrort of the muruered Stannard girl.)
