New York. Wednesday, June 13.
f COMMUIfIC ATBB. j
and Evil-Ri^kt and
Troth and Error.
How these two opposites are confounded in this
world! We are led to this exclamation by the grow
ing degeneration of this city. We might hope that
there was some of the old-fashioned, not J > iU'iUnocal,
bnt elevated views and opinions left ih this good old
city ol ours, but it^seams to be degenerating, and those
good old conservative views and opinions, under
which our city thrived before the war are fast passing
away. Look around onr streets and see the increased
and increasing places of vice. In some sections of the
city you can see between fifty yards of each other
some two or three bar-rooms, with this label over the
doors: ‘'Licensed to Retail Spirituous Liquors." Is
there no limit to such licenses ? or are the city fathers
privileged to grant such licenses ad libitum ? 11 the
Mayor or the Council are privileged to grant licenses
to an indiscriminate number of these places, it strikes
us that the sooner these powers are restricted the bet-
ter for the comfort and safety of our citizens. Per
haps it may be answered that these demoralizing
places are a great source of income to the city. If such
is the reasoning, what a spectacle is here presented j
At the corners of many of the streets these “licensed
shops" must exist, because it is too great a source of
income to the city not to license them, and the city
must loan its aid to sustain thin demoralization, be'
cause money accrues to the treasury by it. What an
argument for our old city l We pay heavily with one
hand for a police force to ferret out and check evil,
and with the other hand we “license” evil, because by
licensing it we make money. This is-immoral reason
ing. The Mayor fines men before his Court for drunk
enness almost, if not every morning; yet, by the “li
censed shops,” these same men are famished at many
of the street corners with the facilities for getting
drunk. Oh, consistency ! If liquor shops must ex-
^st, license them high, and only one- for each ward;
and Jet that one be chosen by the residents of the ward;
but do not license them whenever and wherever asked
for, at the cornors of stnsets and through the lanes
indiscriminately because they are profitable to the
city treasury.
Another point. A short time since a party was ar_
raigned before His Honor the Mayor for keeping his
store open on Sunday—this was an infringement of
the Sabbath ordinance, and the Mayor very properly
fined him. But a policeman puts some barbers on
the information docket for keeping their shops open
on Sunday and they are fined twenty-five cents. Then
follows the introduction of an ordinance in the Coun
cil to have barber shops open until twelve o’clock on
Sundays. Pray, why should an establishment of this
sort be open and a drayman not be allowed to haul Ills
bale of cotton or box of merchandize on Sunday ? One
party makes twenty-five cents by the first operation,
and the other party, if allowed the same privilege,
would make twenty cents by the last operation.
The answer may be that the barber shops are
a public convenienc3 ; and so it. may be a
public convenience also for the cotton owner to
have his cotton hauled on ttiat day. If such an initia
tory step is taken, in disregard of the Sabbath,
there is no telling where it will end. Already the en
croachment has begun. Ice cream saloons and soda
water fountains are granted the privilege of using the
day for gain—for making money. The establishments
are not kept open for the public benefit. If there was
no money made at it is it supposed that the proprietors
would keep them open for the benefit of the ptiblic?
What nonsense!
The ordinance to open the barber shops met with a
signal reproof. When Council were trying to open
the shops on the Sunday, the journeymen barbers
petitioned the body not to pass such an ordinance.
Then follows encroachment number two—Sunday ex
cursions advertised and taking place. This is 1 not as it
used to be; but the fact is that there are many, and
the number is increasing every day, who have an idea
of setting aside the Sabbath entirely. Once upon a
time, in Savannah, no one would hardly have presumed
to ask for the privilege of opening ice cream saloon s
and soda water fountains on Sunday, aud is it not far
better, in the present state of society, not to grant
more such privileges than used to be allowed when
there was not so much demoralization as now exists?
Here, under the old respect for law, order and the
Sabbath day, we did not require examples

day that we complain of, for we do not pretend to
judge of what a man shall eat or drink on that day;
but it is the act of City Council that we want to bring
before the public, who, iu the language of your cor
respondent, “Consistency,” in your paper of Saturday,
“permits trading” on that day. Yes, your correspon
dent “Consistency” has spoken boldly, and I thank
him for his independence: but if these encroachments
continue sgainst the religious and Christian regard for
tbe Sabbath, a louder voice will be heard at the next
election day, and the ballot box, if onr citizens do their
duty, will tell a tale that will indicate to all encroachers
upon the Sabbath that such a^ts cannot be indulged
in with impunity. Onr citizens pay their taxes, and
most of them pay them cheerfully; and as they do
their part they have a right to expect Council to d°
theirs by protecting them from these degenerations.
For the purpose even of the drug stores, where it is
supposed only medicine is dispensed on Sunday, of
preserving, as far as possible, the sanctity of the day,
an agreement was entered into by all of them that only
one should be open on Sunday, each taking turns to
keep open a month at a time. Why has this been dis
pensed with ? And, as it has been dispensed with,
if your correspondent “Consistency" is correct, why
would it not be a good plan to cause all the drng stores
to conform to the ordinance, and let all such parties as
have to buy medicines on that day, except in seasons
of epidemic, seek it at the city dispensary ' If the
keeper of the dispensary is competent aud willing this
would prevent the drug stores, as intimated by “Con
sistency,” indulging in unlawful merchandizing on
that day.
Mr. Editor, it seems that it is time for the citizens
who think properly and right about this matter to take
it in hand, and frown down these encroachments on
tie Sabbath. Why do you not, as a public journalist,
set this thing before tbe people? Give them a talk,
sir, and let us see how the public pulse beats concern
ing this matter.

'City of Mexico, May 22.
CONTINUED PREPARATIONS FOB THE DEPARTURE OF
FRENCH TROOPS.
My last letter, dated the ISthf stated that prepara
tions had been made for the departure of the French
troops. Tbe preliminaries have all been arranged and
the first steps have been taken towards a general con
centration of those forces upon the table-lands of
Puebla and the upper districts of the Department of
Vera Cruz. No further extensive military operations
will be prosecuted by tbe French troops other than
those necessary for maintaining the Imperial govern
ment iu its present secure position pending the con
tinued organization of the Mexican-Imperial army,
which, composed of some forty thousand of the best
native material of the country, is rapidly growing into
an impregnable bulwark against tho ill-directed and
fruitless assaults of the Liberal guerillas upon the
Empire. The first movements of the French troops,
as I stated in iny last, will take place in the month ef
November uext^w.hen about five thousand will be
transported to Vera Cruz and shippdlf^lienco to France
by the Transatlantic Steamship^ Company, with whom
all the contracts have been"signed. These movements
are made not only with the consent,but at the express
desire of Maximilian, who has signified to the French
Emperor that he is now satisfied of the loyal support
of tbe landed proprietors and industrial classes of
Mexico, and that the French troops may be withdrawn
at any time—tbe sooner tbe better. .
MAXIMILIAN PREPARED TO TARE THE FIELD.
The problem of Imperialism is now to be quickly
solved in Mexico. Maximilian trusts himself without
reserve to the Mexican people^upon whose support
he is confident he may rely. Should the opposition of
the Liberals change from its present desultory, guer
rilla form, into anything like a formidable, organized
Character, ho will himself take tho field and person
ally direct the operations for sustaining the laws and
protecting the people against threatened anarchy.
With this programme, it is hardly possible that, the
young Emperor can fail to increase his prestige among
a people always ready to applaud that perspnal courage
in which, the innumerable political leadermof Mexico
have been generally so deficient. MaxiinilMb has good
military' abilities, aud under any circumstances could
not retire from Mexico without making a desperate
effort for the support of his Government. Those who
imagine that he has one foot out of the country, and is
ready to quit when the French depart, know little
al>out the obstinacy and determination of the man.
Mexico has been in a state of chronic revolution for
half a century. No ruler, of whatever stripe, ever
maintained hipiself there without the aid of the mili
tary ; and to be in power, no matter how obtained, was
enough to raise a factious opposition—»H)t of the kind
which generally expends itself inharmless streams of
ink, as in the United States, bnt ait the sword’s point
and the cannon’s mouth. Thus it is no remarkable
thing that Maximdiau should find opponents; but it
Is safe to say that his Government is to-day the most
popular, as it is the widest extended and generally
recognized this country has ever had: and it may not
be generally known that the empire has|already lasted
nearly twice as long as any other administration since
the days of Iturbide—that is, for more than forty years.
CONDITION OF THE IMPERIAL FINANCES.
Tlie fact is, that while tbe necessities of Mexico are
presuing, they by no means involve her existence.
The embarrassments of an empty treasury’ are mani
fold, bnt poverty scarcely kills a man or a nation.
Italy iu passing through a hotter ordeal, yet no one
supposes that Italy will perish. Austria has drank
deep of the bitter cop, yet to-day she laces Prussia
with calm defiance on her brow, and a consciousness
of power. Mexico has been in debt up to her eyes
these thirty years, but has survived the enormons
weight, but by violations of all honorable engage
ments. The country is overflowing with natural re
sources of wealth, which a condition of peace will
wonderfully augment. Its revenue under the empire
has already more than doubled, and the financial
problem is by no means so desperate as not to admit
of solution.
RETRENCHMENT IN THE NATIONAL EXPENDITURES.
Retrenchment in all expendituees is the order of the
day. I believe the late M. Langlais inaugurated tbe
movement, or, at any rate, devised the plan upon
which it has been put in practice. Maximilian has
cently published a letter

There is every reason to believe that all the Central
American republics will follow suit this summer, and
thus take the first step toward the formation of a gen
eral Spanish-American confederacy, with the empire
as the leading power—the whole based on sncli pact
as has long existed among the German States, in
Europe. Should the crisis come, such a confederacy
will be found ready and anxious to join the United
States against any European confederation of mon
archies for the overthrow of the democratic element
in the Western hemisphere.
WILL. MAXIMIXIAV BECOME PRESIDENT '*
Haximlian is a Democrat at heart,- and having for
ever renounced liis European ties, and become a
Mexican, he would never allow his grand scheme heie
to be retarded on the empty consideraUonjof a title.
I have good ground for asserting that were the recog
nition of the empire by tbe United States to hang upon
the not unreasonable prejudice in America again at tbe
name of Emperor, Maximilian would not hesitate to
renounce the title and become tlic President of Mex
ico That he would be elected by an enormous ma
jority were his name submitted to the people, no one
can doubt who has visited, aaJbave, the cities of Gu
anajuato, Guadalajara, Leon, Qneretero, Puebla, and
Jala pa, and other populous centres, and witnessed the
general enthusiasm expressed for Maximilian person
ally. It is tho French who arc objected to not. the
Emperor, who, with his charming consort, enlist the
friendship and sympathies of every people they go
among.

caste of the rich. In short, that no distinction would
be tolerated in this purified republic but what arose
from merit and conflict. This bright dream has
vanished ‘‘like the baseless fabric of a vision. Iflnd
that we shall be obliged to be content with patching
up the wont portion of the ancient edifice, Mid leaving
it in many of Its parts to be swept through by the tem
pests, the frosts and the storms of despotism.
Do you inquire why, holding these views and pos
sessing some will of my owr, I accept so imperfect ft
proposition? I (inswer because I live among men
and not among angels—among men as intelligent, as
determined, and as independent as myself, who, not
agreeing with me, do not chose to yield their opinions
to mine. Mutual concession, therefore, is our only
resort, or mutual hostilities.
We might well have been justified in making re
newed and more strenuous efforts for a better plan
could we have the co-operation of the Executive.
With ffis cordial assistance, the rebel States might
have beau made model republics, aud this nation an
empireof universal freedom. But he preferred res

The twenty-second anniversary of the Bichmond

make room for the list of volunteer and regular toasts,

Abkest of Major Hekbt Lee worn Chkeriso Jeff-
Davls.—On Monday evening Captain Henry Lee-
brother of General Fitzhugb Lee, being here on busi
ness got into a difficulty with the negro ostler at the
stable where his horse was quartered, which came
near resulting in a fight between whites and blacks,
ana which irritated him to such an extent that, on a
guard coming up to arrest him, he denounced the
Yankees generally, and hurrahed for Jeff. Davis.
Major Nicodemus, the commandant of the post, and
the Mayor both 'happened to bo-present, when the
former ordered His Honor peremptorily to have hun
arrested, which he declined to do, on the ground that
he was not subject to military orders, and did not in*
tend to obey any. Major Nicodemus thereupon had
Captain Lee arrested upon the charge of inciting a
riot, and telegraphed the fact to General Terry, who
8P Last ffi^ttlSgeMoncurt, of the Court of Appeals,
now at his home in Stafford, was applied to for a writ
of habeas corpus, hat he couid not grant it, because

session of the court. There being no circuit judge
within convenient distance, the writ has not jet been
obtained. His father, Oaptain Sidney Smith Lee, of
the Confederate navy, and his broffier^ General Fitz-
hugh Lee, both of whom reside fn Stafford, have been
M-iir lor him! ar & expected here to-day»
We should not neglect to state that, on the Mayor
refusing to arrest Capt. Lee, Mffior Nicodemus threat
ened to arrest him. This the Mayor defiantly dared
him to do. The affair has excited considerable Inter
mit not only on account of the family connection of
the party arrested, bnt because his friends here know
that when not excited, he is incapable of a breach of
decorum, much leas • serious breach of the pesce ;
