R- ROBERTS. ,varteb9 Fenian Brotherhood, No. TOG Broadway, 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 places to show us what is proi things; „„4 lfie°religidus denominations’ whenever a steamer happe: night or during Sunday, cryi: day under the church windows, immorality of drinking a glass of soda water on Sun. 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.

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.

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. _ IN EXISTENCE.

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 lodges of bis conrfBSve not jnniaiction in such cases 11 vacation, nor have single judges even during the session of the court.

Lee, Mffior Nicodemus threat ened to arrest him. This the Mayor defiantly dared him to do.
