It was my judgment in 1876 that public opinion demanding a change of administration needed to embrace two-thirds of the people at the hecinning of the canvass in order to east a majority of votes at the election. If this tetdeney is not arrested, fh inevitable result will be the practical doe atruotion of our system.

THE MEXICAN QUVBTION. How the United States and MexiCO Treat with Each Other. IN. Y. Herald.l WASHINOTON, Oct. 24.-The negotiations be tween the United States and Mexico for a re vi ed treaty have reached an important stage and c·onstitute a most Interesting chapter in nhe current history of the Mexican question. It is now some three or four n.onths since the sub jo tof a ',ew treaty was mooted by Minister Fos ter in his intercourse with Senor Vallarde, the Mexican Minister of Foreign AITairs. to whom he suggested the propriety of a revision of ex isting stipulations in view of the failure of the old treaty to meet the difficulties arising so fre quent'y on the Rio Orandi river. Under in structions of the Washington government Minister Foster was restrained from comrn municating with President Diaz as the chief executive of Mexico. and dealt direct iy with Hoenor Vallarde, with whom a conven tion was soon ,,ftor arrang, d. Mr. Evarts stood behind every proposition of Mr. Foster, and President Diatt was the inspiration of all that was advanced or conceded by Honor Vallarde. The matter ,of the extradition of fugitives. criminals, was first discu sed. and HSenor Val lardo prop snd that the provision as to nation ality h hould be so amended as to allow of no discrimination on this score. As the treaty now stands a Mexican flying from Texas into Mexi co cannot be extradited and vice versa. In such a region as that bordering the Rio Grande it is easy to see that the criminals contemplated by the treaty could readily claim citizenship of either Mexico or the United Stales, as pleased their purpose, and that it would be hard for the aggrieved side to prove the reverse of their claim. Theextradition article was also amend eoi to do away with the limit of the value of stolen propeoty. for the taking of which the thief or r. coliver could be demanded, and per mit the extradition for th, theft of any article of merchandise or property. This provision b .ingawcept 'd by Mr. F.ster. Icame artitle one of the proposed addenda to the o:d treaty. In turn. Mr. Foster proposed that the regular troops of either country should bt permitted to ero-s the border and enter the territory of the other in pursuit of maurauders or criminals taking refutie from pursuit by flight across the frontier. 'I hls was giving deflnite sanction to a right which might be claimed under the provi st ,ns of international law, but. which it was for the pIeacful interests of both countries should be speetHfled by treaty of agreement. The propo sitlt.n was held under consideration for a long time by the Mexican authorities. At length an swer was made accepting the proposition. bilt with moditlc'a Ions which the Mexican govern ment deemed to be necessary to sacure its ter ritory from the abuse of suich a concession as that of admitting the troops of a foreign power within its borders. These modiflcatlons were: 1. That thli pursuit of fugitives should not ex tend beyond a zone or strip of territory twenty Mexican leagues, or fifty American miles wide on either' lie of the dividing line. 2. '1 hat the route of pursuit shoftld not be taken by the soldiery through towns or villages where theore was a police force or a civil power. 3. That the fugitives, if so taken by foreign soldiery, should be surrendiered t tthe loial magistrates for examnult.tion and incarcera tion pendihg an at pilcatirn lor their extraii tion. the firelgn soldiery to have no powers of jurisdiction, but to exercise simply those of a police force. and to desist f om tIlie pursuit at any piint where the arrest of the criminals could be secured by the local or municipal au thorities. This concession which was con-idered a great deal for the Mexioans to make. was trans rnitted to Washington in thi, mail received a few days since from Minister Foster. It was to form articlo seood of the addenda. The whole snt) jec, as far as it has gone is said to have been the leading topic of Friday's and to-day's Cabi net discussion. It is reported on good au'hority that Be^re try Evarts immediately dispatched word to Minister Foster to secure a ffurther article pro viding for the payment of the claims of Amerl can citizens injured by the raids of Mexican marauders. This was so muich more than President Diaz is believed to be prepared to concede that the gossips have jumped to the conclusion that Mr. Evarts wants a slice of Mexico. and will have it by forcing on Mexico the alternative of a war with the United States or a grant of territory in lieu of the amount of our claims, which the depleted condition of the M- xlcan treasury would never allow of settle ment in any other way. It was disgust with this discovery of Mr. Evarts' strategy that led. it is said, to Senor Mati's sudden decision to abandon the entrprise of securing the recogni tion of President Diaz, and to return to Mexico. whither he ooes by the first steamer leaving New York or New Orleans.

WEL*H FOR THE ENGLISH MISSION THE NOMINATION A SURPIIISE TO EVERYBODY. The Louisiana Senatorial question: Oppo sition to Dilatory Tactles-Conkling's ProWramme--Early Adjourn ment of Congress. [Special to the Democrat.] WASHINGTON, Oct. .Ho.--The nomination of John Welsh, of Philadelphia. as M nister to England to-day, was a sarprise to everybody, including most of the Cabinet. It seems to hIve been determined on yesterday, after the regular Cabinet meeting, in a private confer ence of Hayes, Evarts and Sehurz. The general belief is that the nomination will not be con firmed. In nonversatlon with Senator Christiancy to day I told him the Domoer ti were napurhen sive that the committee would delay the cases of Spofford. Eustls anrd Butler. He replid that when he voted to refer the case of P.offord, he did so with the untlerstandng that the invre ti gation was to he expedited and report made as promptly as possible. I then asked him what he would do In case dilatory tact ies became evi dent on the part of the committen. He said that in such a ease he should vote to discharge the committee fom the further consideras on of the case and bring the matter to a direct vote in the Senate. Booth and Matthews have both similarly expressed themselves to Democratic Senators. It is noted that while several Northern nomi nations have been confirmed, none of tho Southern appointments have been acted upon whetothe appointee is not a Republlican in goad standing. Benator Conkling has privately announced his programme. He Will not make factious opposition to any nomination sent in to fill a regular vacancy, but will antagonize all nominations made vice officers removed or suspended under the operation of the civil ser vice orders. Whenever such cases eome up he will take the ground that, the cause alleged is not sufficient, and µill move for inquiry into the relative fitness of the two men, the suspended incumbent and Hayes' appointee to hod the office, Irrespective of the civil service order. The Democrats seem to be Insisting on an early adiournment. The army bill will be re ported on Thursdayand an effort will be made to pass it this week, so as to adjourn on Saturday. but it is very doubtful that the programme will su'ceed. BUELL.

If the C.ir ret ily intends to remove the Impe rlal headquarters to Porodin, it may be the pro cursor of another attempt to carry Ghazi Os man's position by nssau t, at which, as at the attack on the 11th of Sop'emb~r, the Czar would wish to be present: or it may indleate that the Russians are confident that their operations must result in the speedy capitulation of Plevna. Details of the affairs at Gorny Dubruk and Telische make it certain thlt they are mo e than mere raids on Turkish communications; in fact, they are part of the new Russian move ment, involving an entire change of front, which is still further d veloped by the transfer of the Roumanians to Bogot.

How the Tweed Ring Managed Politics in New York-The Indorsement of Civil servlee Reform from an Unexpected source. IN. Y. Herald.] l.ieporter-Are you the only member of the Rting now hold in durcess? Mr. Tweed-The only oun. Ingersoll and Woodward are both out. Hweenyv lives p town. Connolly is in Switzerland. lHal is In London. or thereabouts. "Why did Hall run away-on the score of your confession I" 'Hall!,I think, has beeon razny or growing crazy, for years. He was adr.eadfully tiresome fel ow, with his weuk little puns." SBut, he was useful, was he not. in the way of drawing up advantageous or eunniiMk nills?" " er was fair at that; not M'ompldished : tnot a real expe t. Hall was pretty gnod on his lgs,. to preside at a dinner, or make a ready spoeeD." sRWzENY. "What is the meaning of thu rumor thnt Hwreny and the Bwoeny influenoe are at work to keop you in jail?" "ldon'tthink Hweron wan's me out. He's prob-by going into, politis again. You knuow he never came to the front much, but wanted to rule from a position of retirement. He can ret.'h influenlce I cannot reach." " lcit you never quatrrelled much with your assoelates?" "No; they didn't quarrel with me. Ieeause I wae the on y nan who would go to the front. 'I hiy couldn't, rely on each o her if anything desperate was on hand. I rememtberonetlhere was a meeting to Ib held whero Elijah 'Purdy warntd me to preside. aild I. 'Now, boys, I tll you. I'm afraid to go to that meeting. You may go. but I don't want to.' 'Pooh. p ohb ' said Purdy y.'we didn't exiect that of you, Tweed; I';I go myself.' So I went that night, and be ho'd no Ptrdy came. 'Come on' nsald I. 'I'll presidel ' Ho I took the chair. and wasn't very comfortable In it, either. A mon from California, by the name of Doyle. was run ning for recorder against Barnard, (This recolleetlon is at random ) I saw, as the roll call proceeded, that Doyle had the majority of delegates. Said Ito a secretary: 'Have a mo tion made to dlspense with calling the rolll' It was don,. 'All In favor of Mr. Barnard as the nomi',ee of this body say aye. Carriedl The meeting is adjournedI' Well, there was a riot and I was drive' into one corner. IPalah Ryn ders had a pistol au long as my arm drawn and cooked. Said he: 'I'll pay you for thisls' I was scared. but I didn't say so. 'I'm not afraid of a whole ward of y'u, lighting villains.' said 1, and we all got out." "Then you never quarrelled with Hweeny?' "Oh, Sweeny is a hard. overbearing, revenge. ful man. He wants hls way and treasures in wrath. He has considnrable ability of its kind. We were so opposlte and unlike that we got along very well. CONNOLLY. "How did you ever take into your confidence Dick Connolly?" "Connolly was before my time: I had to take the world as it was and not make it anew. He was a powerful man in his ward and district, being from Cork, and that region in other difys was full of Cork nians. If you would walk through there and talk again-t Connolly it would be at your peril. We could not get along without Connolly. and annexel him for the vote he controlled. He had been an old Federal Custom-House officer, and in Mayor Have mneyer's bank." "Wbg h ot Oonnolly off?" "Tilden through the aid of Mayor Have m' .you not recall. in the large galaxy of promlnent men of hoew York Demoor Ate, some few whom your mind admires notwithstanding your misfortunes ?" JOHN T. HOFFMAN. Mr. Tweed shook his head as If there was no body; but said after a while: "If he had not been so cold. John T. Hoffman was about the best. I speak with respect of him, because we several times dilsagre It. I could never make him do much for policy. He was ambi tious and capable, but he often harmed us by objecting in cases where he could not have harmed himself. If you read my testimony on Hoffman you found it honestly expressed. He was notapproachable with money. THE ERIE RAILROAD. "Your relation to the Erie Railroad. Mr. Tweed has subjected you to considerable cen sure. rHow did you get in there?" "That came from my position as State Sena tor. r anderbilt war ted me to help him in legis lative matters and promised to carry a large amount of stock for me; in short, to put me into a stock speculatlon, so I could make some monvr. He didn't keep his word, and Fisk and Gould came to me and oflTred to set me right." "Which of those men was the abler, Gould or Fisk ?" "Oh, Gould; he has not his equal In America as a financier. Jim Fisk was a pleasant fellow, full of anecdoto. Nothing discomfired him. He was never ashamed. He always had a fresh story. I liked his company. I remember when he was befo e the c,,mmlttee of Congress and used that expression. 'Gone where the woo'l blin twinorh.' He explained that to me. He said that when he used to peddle around the country he notie',l that the country onthouses always had a sprig of vine climbing over them. He simply meant by that illustration that the investment had gone up the spout-gone to nothing." "Whom do you regard as the most successful city politician of New York In the thirty years of your experience?" "John Kelly. He was always a plodder-al ways saving something and always learning something. He stood well with the church rather a high class man In the church-and got his support there. I never did hut one thing for him' twenty years ago I helped him boat (Walsh?) for Congress." PRESIDENTS. "What President did you first vote for, Mr. Tweed?" "I think it was Polk. I know I voted first for President in 1844." "Which of the public men who aspired to the Presidency or attained it (do you recall with the most respect?" "Let me see," answered Mr. Tweed, reflect ively.' "There was Frank Pierce. I knew him. He was very light-almost a nonentity. Fillmore was a poor stik, troo-very little brea'lth to him. J think," said Mr. Tweed. with a sudden i lumination. "that Stephen A. Douglas im pressed me more than any big national man I ever knew. I was pretty well acquainted with him. A Mr. West. who used to hbI Surrogate. had Douglas at his house and asked me around there. I was for Douglas for President away back in 1852 and 185t. He seemed to be a big bra:ne I man, with plenty ot temperament demooratic and clear-headed; a real leader. f was a Doutlas Democrt up to the beginning of the war and a War Democrat after that." You never saw Mr. Lincoln? " "No. I ne',er met Lincoln privately, but I thought very well of him." A NEW VIEW OF TILDEN. "What kind of President would Mr. Til4en have madeo had he been peacefully inaugu rated?" "W 11." said Mr. Tweed musingly. "If Con gross were called to mee't on the 4th of March. and by constitutional requirement the Preside-,t would have to send in his message on that day. Tilden would have it ready perhaps by the 4th of April following. He always puts off everything." " But if he has so mub"h procrastination in his habits how did Mr. Tilden become so rich?" " By tiring people out." said Mr. Tweed. "He would just sit down and w,,ar out the patience of anybody in business as he would In volitics. He was a railroad schemer, you know, Sup pose you had sroo shares of stock in some cop" any which he designed to capture. He would have it all figured out so that you would get no dividends, and after awhile you would have to soel some of the stock. His pool. which had arranged to keep you out of your div:dend. would then buy up your stock, and so. little by little, you would have to let that stock out until Tilden's crowd 1t it t all, and after a whi'e your railroad would reorganized and consol-dated. But that kind of patience does not apply t ' a President, who can only serve tour years and must act on the moment." CIVIL sERVIC.REFOBIM.
