TROUBLE IN THE WHIG PARTY The trouble in
the whig party which commenced in this city be
tween the Tribune and the Courier and Enquire,
appears TO be widening and gathering reaching the
central power of the State. Thurlow Weed, the re-
nowned estate barber" and editor of the Aibara
Erening Journal, which is the organ of the central
whlg junta, comes down upon the Courier aud En-.
quirer with column and an half OF very quiet and
very gentleEany denunciation for its various sins in
opinion and action during the last two years. The
central wing organ takes sides entirely with the
Tribune, saying nothing however, ofits Fourierisn
and other absurdities, which probably tolerated
for the sake of its occasional CLEANS of common
sense


The Courier and Enquirer with all its caravan OF
animals-with two Colones, its three Majors, its
four corporals, and we know not how many other
military reputatve, is denounced for defeating the
whig party in 1884, by its leaning towards native
ism. Ii is denounced also for wishing to deprive


The negroes in the approaching State Convention Of
a right to vote the same as any white person 1t is
denounced likewise for being narrow and restricted
its notions, and is especially denounced for hav


ing taken into its bowels the remains OF the recent
Ne,c York american, thereby creating the belief
and commencing the movement which will lead TO
a similar conclusion and termination which charac-
terized the eventful life of that paper There is
tainy some colour for these denunciations and vati-
cinations The Courier and Enquirer is not
the liberal. progressive, onward journal il
once was. II seems to be a re-hash on
broader dish OF all the particular cookery
and conceit which characterized the late
Nec York american. In fact, it has degenerated
into mere tockIobbing organ of stock-jobblng
clique, and may be said to have no connection with
any party, either whlg or democrat; but merely
expresses the fantastic, narrow, llllberal, and
dwelling notions Of little coterie in Wall street.
1t has influence with its party, either in this
city or throughout the country, and does not even
aspire to be popular journal like the independent
press


In short, the fate and destiny Of the Courier can
no, be mistaken. Thurlow Weed is dressing and
shaving, and fixing it so that it may die decently.


SLAsHING CRIrIcIsM-VERMIN IN PARoxYsM.-
A very singular movement has just been made by
two OF the small penny papers in Boston, the Bee
and the 1Mau, to crush the Keans Templeton, Au-
gusta, and heaven knows how many more Of our


rst-rate artists Pelby l. Hamilton OF the National
Theatre come out in the Bee, with letter abusing,
with the most amusing ierocity, the Keans, Mr..
Hackett, and Madame Augusta; and the Mail has
quite waspish attack Tempeton. The whole
assault is laughable in the extreme. The writer
seems absolutely frantic with rage, and cuts up the
mo for all tho vorld Eka i'll
natured schoolboy, suffering under the birch of his
master Pelby abuses the Keans because they
would not accept OF his terms. Funny, indeed :
As if an artist had not right to claim as
much as he thinks his services are worth, and to
refuse terms which he regards as below his value.
Macready was, 1t seems, in the scrape at this
establishment. Well, this is rather modest in
Messrs. Pelby 4 Hamilton Actors and artists who
do not choose to accept the terms they may think
proper to offer, to be backgua in the news
papers as avaricious and what not. The attack on
Tempeton is ludicrous in the extreme-evidently
emanating from some miserable creature who fam
ces himself an injured and neglected musical
genius, and is gnawed with envy at the extraordi-
nary success of the great vocalist.


These rabid assaults remind us of the attacks
which have been made by some of the lowest Lon


don papers on American actors and artistes and
even on some OF their own best native performers.


The MEXICAN INDEMNIrrEs. mystery which
recently involved the discussion relative to the pay
ment Of the two Mexican instalments, is again re-
vlved in the newspapers, and seems to be in as
much doubt and confusion as ever A few days ago,
the Washington Un,on contradlcted, in a certain
way, the assertion that these nstalments had been
paid. On the other hand, we have received, and
published yesterday, copies OF the original receipt
in Spanish, with an English translation, given by


the agent of the United States government in We ra
Cruz for the payment of those very ndemnities. 1t
seems that Mr. Emilio Voss, was the authorised
agent appointed IN proper way to receive this mo-
ney, and that in the recent dispatches received by
the State Department from Mexico, authenticated
copies o. the receipt given by him to the Mexican
government, were. enclosed


Such, therefore, being the state of the facts,
we do not see how it can be denied on the
part of our government that the money was paid.
But the question still comes up, what has become
OF the money Into whose pocket has it gone!
Cannot the mystery be revealedl We trust
that something will be done Immediately on
this subject, for the poor claimants are suffering
very much from the delay that has already taken
place. Probably the President intends to give
full exposition of the matter in his message.


PROSPECTS OF TRADE.-The prospects OF trade
and commerce, during the ensuing year, if not for
longer period, are very interesting and very curious
1t will be continual struggle between the natural
elements Of prosperity, during time OF peace and
an impending breach OF our peaceable relations
with England growing out Of the Oregon question.
This continual agitation Of conflicting elements will
beget little panics every and then-cornering
In stocks-risng and falling Of values, and egree
OF excitement in the public mind that may, eventu-
ally, should the Oregon question be settled, end in
an appreciation of every thing, and general infa-
tion similar to that which took place between 1880
and 1897, when the imitation came to head and the
volcano, at length, burst forth
