The news from Mexico which we published in
yesterdays paper, and which we give more in de-
tail to day, is deserving Of more than passing
notice. IL appears that Arista had been removed
from the command Of the army, and Gen. Mejia
placed VI his stead.


The most important item, however, is the
declaration of independence of Yucatan, and
its disseverance from the Mexican republics
step fraught with momentous consequences
The State of Tamaulipas has been in state
OIL nsurrecnon for some time past. Yucatan
has declared her independence, and we are in
formed from a source entitled to credit that
number OF the most influential citizens of
Iamauhpas, Chihuahua, and one or two other
provinces, have submitted proposals to the Ame-
ncan government, entreating a cessation of the
war, as far as those States are concerned and inn
porng our protection while they form these States
into republic, with the view of eventually incpr-
porating their destiny with that of the United
States


This deserves TO be looked upon the most inn
portant piece Of intelligence that we have received
from Mexico in a long time. 1t shows clearly that
the long series of misrule the part of the mill
tay dictators is at last about produce its results
II is probable the movement will not stop until
Mexico has los, the principal part of her territory
or until that country blotted out from the faraily
of nations.

The Senate acted upon q variety Of bills,
but made no progress of consequence in dsposing
OF them One very important thing was accom-
plished, in relation to the meeting of that body,
which We think is Indicative of a determination
10 push business more rapidly, and, if possible,
get through some time before the first Monday in
December next


The Secretary of the Treasury has been called
npon for estimates of revenue to be derived from
the measures proposed in his report


The bill in relation to a tariff Of prices for pub
lc lands, to be regulated by the length of time
fhcy have been in the market, will, without doubt,
pass. twill add very much to the revenue from
this source, and give great impetus to emigra-
ton. During the debate upon this bill, message
was received from the President, and the Senate
went into Executive session.


The tariff is dragging lis slow length along in
the House, and the members appear determined
10 make much Of the time allotted for the discus
sion of that measure. As yet, no new light has
been thrown upon the subject, and the same old
worn-out arguments have been offered in favor
OF, and against any reduction upon the present
average The fate ofthe tariff act of 1912, is very
doubtful, 80 much so, that it is difficult to form
any correct opinion in relation to the matters but
our impression is, that material alteration will
be imade-at all events, no reduction of conse-
quence in the protective features OF the present
act.
