The President’s Message on Mexican
Affairs, .
In compliance wijh a resolution of the House
of Representatives, President Johnson has laid
before that body a report of the Acting Secre
tary of State, with copies of diplomatic corres
pondence in reference to the assumed Imperial
claims of Maximilian. It seems that Maximilian
formally and by letter conveyed by special en
voy to the President, demanded the recognition
by the United States of the Empire of Mexico.
That the President refused even to consider the
demand, and Mr. Seward returned the letter to
il. de Montholon, through whom it was present
ed, saying “that the United States was in
friendly communication with the Republican
Government of Mexico, and that, the
President declined to receive the letter <flrto
hold communication with the agent who brought
it.” That answer was about as positive and
emphatic a repudiation of the Empire as it was
possible for official authority to convey, without
intemperate language There remained the
French Government to deal with, and in that di
rection the correspondence is equally pertinent,
pointed and conclusive. M. Drouyn de Lhuys,
as “ the basis of an understanding with the
Government of Washington,” required “ to be
assured that it is not its intention to impede the
consolidation of the new order of things found
in Mexico, and the best guarantee the French
Government could desire would be the recogni
tion of the Emperor Maximilian by the Federal
Government.” Mr. Seward replied: I regret
to be obliged to say the condition which the
Emperor presents is one which seems to be im
practicable.” He plainly gave the French Em
peror to understand that the United plates “re
gard the attempt to establish permanently a
foreign and Imperial Government in Mexico as
disallowable and impracticable.’' He said that
the policy of “friendship with France” “would
be brought into imminent jeopardy, unless
France could deem it consistent with her honor
and interests to desist from the prosecution of
armed intervention in Mexico;” and he de
clared “that the United States will not recog
nize Maximilian, even if the French troops
should be withdrawn from Mexico.” All this
is plain talk—direct, and to the purpose.
University op Georgia.—A business letter
from the accomplished President of this institu
tion, informs the Columbus Enquirer, that the
University opened wit h a considerable number
of students, and that everything bids fair for a
most successful session. This will be gratifying
to Georgians especially, who should all feel an
interest in its success and prosperity.
JStsT The New York Chamber of Commerce
has decided against co-operating in a movement
to call together a national convention to devise
measures to increase the production of cotton in
the United States, on the ground that its culti
vation is manifestly so important and profitable
that “the promptings of personal interest wilt
secure the desired results,” and that “this mo
tive is already attracting the capital requisite
to produce a large crop of cotton for the ensuing
year.” This conclusion appears to have been
reached after a careful investigation of the sub
ject, and it serves to confirm other evidences of
the success of the free-labor system in theSo(§th.
A JjKw Fire Extinguisher. —It is said that a
new fire-engine has been contrived, originating
in the fact that water charged with ten tithes its
Weight of carbonic acid is a complete extinguish
er of fire. The compound is cheaply made and
used with facility, being put into a small reser
voir, which a man caries easily on his back to
any place required, without more hindrance to
active exertion than that caused by carrying an
ordinary knapsack. Arrived at the place of ac
tion, all the.fireman has to do is to turn a cock
and direct the jet by means of a flexible tube
and mouth piece upon the fire, the machinery
inside giving the power of a force pump capable
of throwing the jet forty feet high. The mate
rial is as harmless to life, health or property as
an ordinary seidlitz powder, is ready for instant
use, and the longer it lias been stored in the
vessel the more effective it is in action. It will
extinguish a conflagration in less than five
minutes—“almost instantaneously,” and costs
from sl2 to $25 —elegant in shnpe and might
easily be manufactured in styles that would
adapt it ns an ornament either to the dining or
drawing room, and thus confer upon every pri
vate family of moderate means the inestimable
blessing es security from one of the greatest
calamities that can befall them, a disastrous and
fata! fire.
