■ ROM MEXICO.
Correspondent'* Telegraph k Messenger.]
New Orleans, April 23, 1875.
There is only one regular steam
ship line running between Vera Cruz
and New Orleans, and it became
necessary to take the steamer leaving
Vera Ortiz on the 10th, or await the
vessel of the 7th proximo. It was
unanimously decided to leave by the
first steamer, and to this end wo pre
pared for our departure. The time
had passed pleasantly, our new made
friends vied with each other in cour
teous attention, enabling us to pretty
well see the city and its environs, in
the sliort. time allotted us.
DEPARTURE FOR HOME.
Every possible arrangement had
been made for our comfort, and the
best, practicable improvised sleeping
arrangements that their limited facil
ities would permit of. All our new
made friends and acquaintances have
gathered to bid a llnul farewell.
Time, inexorable time, rolled on, and
at tl o’clock tlio incoming train heral
ded Its approach the farewells and
add is were given—a shrill whistle and
jerk, and we left Mexico, probably
forever.
It was a lovely moonlight night as
wo whizzed around Gaudaloupe, out
by the nest of Lake Tezcueo. passing
the spur of a mountain which blotted
from view a city of fascinating mem
ories and attractions.
DOOHA-DEL MONTE AND THE FAIRLEE
ENGINE.
Nothing occurred until coming to a
long halt it. was announced we had
made the run of the plains (150 miles)
and were at Boeha-del-Monte, and
could not proceed until daylight, for
the mountain passage is never made
in the dark. We have dropped the
four driver wheeled engine and
hitched to tin* monster Fuirlco twelve
driver. For fear of getting my me
chanical friends in a muddle, I will
give the outlines of the Faivleo en
gine. The holler is about, forty feet
long, with a smoke stack at each end,
and furnace in the centre. 'Flic cyl
inders are attached to the truck of
the driving wheels, the truck frames
being pivoted or swiveled to t he boil
er tho steam pipe connecting the
boiler and cylinders having a ball and
socket joint to meet the play of the
trucks tho long heavy four cylinder
engine ■ thereby enabled to readily
meet tho requirements of short
curves, and putting forth immense
power.
A HIDE BEFORE THE MONSTER.
Mr. John Quinn, tho intelligent
superintendent of this mountain
division, being present, I asked per
mission to ride down on tho engine.
"Would you like a ride a little more
exhilirating mid daring?” lie asked.
"I will take tho best you have,” was
tho answer.
Being keen for an adventure, a
heavy handcar was placed on tho
track in front of the train—Charles
I’. Muckio and myself taking the
front seat- Quinn the rear, with
brake in hand.
The suit was now rising. Three
stout Indians pushed tho car to the
summit, and away we went through
the gorge. Turning to the left into
I the almost perpendicular side of the
mountain, we found ourselves far
übovo tho clouds, which were dense
and in heavy billows over the whole
Maitruta Valley.
No pen or brush could portray the
scene. It relieved our rapid, fearful
ride of much of its terror, for imagi
nation pictured as if thrown from tho
track it would bo into a soft, pillowy
bed below.
Winding around, and through
cliffs, over bridged chasms, through
tunnels along the perpendicular side
of tiie mountain at a rapid speed, on
a hand car, compared with the sur
roundings, frailer than a kite, is, to
say the least, very exhilirating.
Our descent is rapid. Wo are soon
in tiie clouds and rapidly sinking.
Continuing our sinuous course at
Gilpin speed, we soon emerge be
neath them, and there again lay
spread out before us the lovely valley
of Maltrata. Wo spin on, zigzaging
and encircling the plain, and soon
brake up at the depot.- having made
the run of twelve miles down tills
fearful mountain road in forty min
utes.
The train left on our heels, yet
there is no appearance of it; but far
in the clouds above you hear a harsh
grating, hissing sound. It. appears
slowly crawling along tho mountain
side, and would frighten a world un
initiated in its mysteries. Wo listen,
and follow the cutting, grinding,
laborious sound with eager intent,
until at last away high up in the
mountain’s side, wo see tiie train
emerging from beneath the clouds,
and the black, fiery, smoking, hiss
ing head of the monster, slowly and
laboriously its nnacondian body ap
pears, and it requires but a little
stretch of tiie imagination to conceive
the mountains not “bringing forth a
mouse,” but a huge living monster
serpent proportioned to the magnifi
cent, surroundings. It is a sight
worth traversing a continent to wit
ness.
The great mountain barrier was
passed, the excitement over and a
pleasant run brought us into Vera
Cruz at 3 p.m. It was quite a disap
pointment to learn that tho steamer
did not sail until the next day at 5 P.
m. Another duy could have been
passed pleasantly iu Mexico, here it
was a bore.
We again unfortunately put up at
the Dilligence Hotel. It is a dirty
unaccommodating establishment,
with piratical charges. The Vera
Cruzano is far superior.
Wo went aboard tiie good steam
ship “City of Merida” on Saturday,
sailing at sr. M. Finding ourselves
at Tuspan next morning, the day was
spent in transferring passengers and
freight. Another moderate night’s
rim, and we are oil Tampico, with the
English steamer anchored in tho
roadstead. The same monotonous
routine of transfer was hero repeated.
About 3 p. M. a United States steam
er came slowly in and dropped an
chor near by, giving the unusual
scene of three steamers off this port.
Late in the afternoon we raised an
chor and headed for New Orleans.
Our steamer had light freight and
rolled splendidly the vessel putting
on an extra touch the second day.
Mr. Newbold, Col. Grant and myself
made an exhibition of our accom
plishments by promenading with
some half dozen chairs and seats,
hurriedly across the deck, bringing
up in no very enviable position. At
least two out of the three are yet
laboring under the effects of that in
discretion.
Early on Thursday morning we
reached the Southwest Pass, and
finding an insufficient depth of water,
had to circle around to Pass l’Outre.
A pleasant run brought the vessel to
hflr wharf at 5 p. m.— and thus ends
all of interest about our trip to Mexi
co. C. A. N.

ARREST OF AN ABSCONDING PORT COL
LECTOR J. O. HESTER THREATENS TO
EXPOSE KU-KLITX FRAUDS, CREDIT MO
DILI Ell, ETC.
Special to the Times by 8. .V A. 1.iu0.)
Washington, May B.— Conaiit, of
Florida, has succeeded in arresting
Henry Hazen, the absconding collec
tor of the port of Jacksonville.
J. G. Hester, who for some time
has held tho positions of special
agent of the Department of Justice,
head Ku-klux hunter, and great
American whito league finder, and
who was dismissed from these posi
tions yesterday, says ho was dis
missed not because ho (lid anything
wrong, but that ho informed the At
torney General that he intended to
publish a book entitled “Tho Wan
dering .Tow in America,” which is an
inside history of t lie Credit Mobilier
fraud and other celebrated national
fraudulent and corrupt eases. He
also intends to show up the whole
system of manufacturing Ku-klux
outrages, white league murders, etc.,
and, in fact, lot daylight into the
wholo Southern outrage factory, tho
headquarters of which is under, if
not in, tho Department of Justice.
He fancies that this book will create
a stir, and if he publishes all he
knows in regard to these cases it will,
beyond tho probability of a doubt.
He says that after lie gets his book
out he will remain in Washington
and practice law. He don't; like the
idea of returning to tho South, as the
Force hill did not pass.
In consequence of several discus
sions hy district Judges against tho
constitutionality of the Enforcement
act, mid in view of the fact that these
eases have been carried to the Su
preme Court on appeal, and are now
pending before that court, the Attor
ney General has suspended further
action in Ku-klux cases throughout
the South, and will await tlio decision
of tiie Supreme Court beforo render
ing legal proceedings against those
persons arrested and indicted for vio
lation of the Enforcement act. As
tliis action renders tho further reten
tion of special agents throughout the
South unnecessary, the resignation
of several of this class of officers have
been accepted.
PANIC AMONG THE OFFICE-HOLDERS —
FRAUDS IN TIIE REVENUE DEPART
MENT.
Washington, May 8. —There are
causes for the panic among some of
the principal office-holders at, Wash
ington and their subordinates, which
the sudden removal oj Air. Doug
lass, late Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, stated, thftt lie much deep
er than the reasons as yet given to
the public. It is an open secret that
steps were taken, immediately after
the passage of the law nearly doub
ling tlio tax on whisky, to reor
ganize the old ring on anew basis.
The elements were soon compacted,
and now the frauds by illicit distil
ling have taken such proportions as
to alarm the Secretary of the Treasu
ry for the revenue. This is all tho
more serious because the whiskey
thus produced is known to enter
largely into the regular trade. How
it gets there is no longer a matter of
doubt. Investigation makes it cer
tain that there has been collusion
and corruption between the distillers
the middle men, and the internal
revenue officers. While it. Is not di
rectly charged that, Mr. Douglas was
a party to those frauds, they certain
ly began and expanded under his ad
ministration. So, too, it may be said
of the revenue from imports, which
lias fallen off immensely through
and hy means of a fraudulent
combination that could not possibly
prosper without the personal com
plicity of a number of custom house
officials. Silks, laces, wines and
other valuable articles are sold
openly at prices which exclude the
idea of any payment of duties. The
Secretary of tho Treasury is giving
strict attention to the business, and
very soon there will doubtless bo
some startling developments.

troit and Chicago, have been guilty
of cutting tlio rates, and lias imposed
a fine in tiie former case and reported
evidence in the latter to the executive
courts. A prominent marine inspect
or who lias returned from Detroit,

panies may hold together still, there
have been large contracts placed in
reliable companies at less than tho
board rates.

THE SUN.

The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusual importance to the events and develop*
incuts of 1875. We shall endeavor to dMcrlbo

tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
are found in evory State aud Territory, and its
quality is well known to the public. We shall

THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be

full length when of moment, and always, wo
trust, treated In a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun tho best
family newspaper in the world. It will be full of
entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the most
scrupulous ami delicate taste. It will always

mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department is a prominent
feature in the Weekly Sun, and its articles Will
always be found fresh and useful to tho farmer.
The number of men independent in politics is
increasing, uud tho Weekly Sun 1b their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and lor tho
election of the best men. It exposes tho corrup
tion that disgraces tho country aud threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price ef tho WEEKLY SUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, aud fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays the expenses of paper
