leclares that the present means of com

not likely to be improved. Steamship
lines cannot be extended without a sub
sidy, and there is no prospect that a rail
road from the City of Mexico to the Rio
Grande border will be constructed. The

opposed to railroad communication with
the United .States. Mexicans see in such
project the prospect of ultimate annexa

willing to give resumption a trial. No

Savannah News: In the city of Baltimore
there are held over four hundred thousand
dollars of the bonds of the city of Savan
nah. the holders of which, we are pleased to
say, have shown a willing disposition tQ ac
cept promptly the compromise offered by
the city in pavment of this outstanding in
debtedness. it w*ill be remembered that
last summer Mr. D. G. Furse, chairman of
the finance committee, visited Baltimore,
arid it a large meeting of the bondholders i;
that eitv addressed them at length on th
subject of the coropromisfe, explamlhg fully
the condition of the city, and the
desire of the administration and the
people to offer as Tair terms as pos
sible. This lucid Bxposjtjo?) of our finan
cial affairs had a marked effect, the bond
holders being intelligent, experienced busi
ness men. A dumber then and there ex
pressed their willingness to accept the
compromise. Since then, through the in
telligent efforts of Messrs. Wilson, Colston
A Co., a prominent and influential banking
firm of that city, many others have been
induced to give ready acceptance to the
proposition, and it is now, we are glad to
say, understood that all of them will do
likewise. On Saturday Mayor Wheaton re
ceived a letter from Messrs. Wilson, Cols
