Corrvfpnn < ! ence Vhtt.vlil } > litn Record.
At the present thuo , when tlicro is
BO much excitement nnd enthusiasm
in this country in regard to Mexico ,
any reliable information nntl stale-
mont of actual facts cannot bo other
wise limn desirable. So much has
been written in Howory praise of that
Eldorado that the writer determined
to proceed then ) . The following
gleanings are from personal observa
tion nnd information obtained from
others long resident in the country ,
and are thoroughly reliable :
1 landed at Vorn Cruz , that hot-bod
of yellow fever , a eity that this dis
ease did not leave lost ye.ir after it
died out as usual in the colder months
of the year at Now Orluans , Havana
and other infected ports of the West
India islands. Vera Cruz is the ter
minal port agreed upon * in the recent
concessions secured by General Grant
from the Mexican government , for
tbo Moxic.au Southern railroad. Leav
ing at midnight , wo proceeded to the
City of Mexico , by the Vuni Cnm it
Mexico railway , it distance of 2)3 ! )
miles , through the wildest and grand
est mountain scenery yet traversed by
rail. The journey consunica about
sixteen hours.
The ascent to Orizaba is about 8,000
feet , and then the train moves over
a lovely and fertile plain , continuing
into the City of Mexico. But how-
was this fcrtilu plain utilized ? Not a
blade of any cereal growing on it ,
nothing but plantations of the pulque ,
or maguey plant , an immense de
scription of the cactus , which after
four years growth yields a semi-milky
fluid much prized by the natives for
its intoxicating qualities. It is fer
mented , alid to a novice has an offen
sive smell and disgusting taste. An
inquired taste must certainly in time
bo had for it , judging from its great
popularity. These pulqilo plantations
yield far' moro profit than would any
description of grain or ordinary farm
produce , and BO it monopolizes the
land to the exclusion of everything
else. An idea of its importance maybe
bo gamed from the fact that there tire
special trains run daily for its convey
ance to the city. All along the ronto
through the elevated plateau natives
are to bo seen' whoso condition for the
most part bears ample testimony to
the inebriating properties of this
drink. They were collecting the
juice , superintending its fermentation
end tilling hoiiskins , in which it is car
ried. The skin is removed from the
animal entire , and when full resembles
the living animal , the extremities of
the legs being tied with fibre obtained
from the same plant.
One startling feature of the journey ,
8ignitic.int of the state of the country ,
is the fact that ut each station a com
pany of mounted soldiers stand mmrd
over the train , while for additional se
curity a body of military accompanies
each train. At thu dilforent stations u.
number of Indian women offer for
sale to the passengers small burnt-
clay images and relics of the Aztecs
dug from the graves of their ancestors ;
also a variety of fruits oranges , ba
nanas , chiiinioyaa and edibles cooked
in the fashion ot the country , promi
nent among which is the "tortilla , " a
corn cake baked in fat. It is a long ,
fatiguing and extremely dusty ride ,
and yon arrive in the City of Mexico
in the evening of the second day , cov
ered with dust , thoroughly exhausted
and crampud from sitting in the con
fined English coaches , locked in be
tween stations , while the train is
winding its way over frightful chasms ,
where you can look down from the
windows thousands of feet below until
aiaht is lost in the misty distance.
There are no conveniences. It was
torture to us men ; how the ladies of
the party must have suffered none but
thenibelvcs know. Leaving Vera
Cruz the temperature is tropical ,
but as wo ascend the mountains
the cold becomes intense. Not ex
pecting any such change of temperature -
ture , most of our party had allowed
their overcoats to bo stowed away with
the rest of their baggage in the lug
gage van. And hero vo were Hindu
acquainted with the aptness of the
iiativo officials to discipline ; upon no
account wcra wo allowed to take our
eoats out.
This railroad was constructed by
English capitalists , and completed in
about ten years. It cost $10,000,000.
Upon SL'0,000,000 of this it pays n
dividend of pur cent , per annum ;
upon the other § 10,000,000 nothing.
This road quito recently , I am in
formed , has been purchased by Ameri
cans , and will form part of the new
American enterprise. There is only
one passenger train each way per day.
The faro , first class , is 91(1 ; second ,
$12 , and third class , $8. Th obMffM
for freight are exorbitant , in some
case * amounting to as much as 70
per ton , What the prospects are for'
thu now roads , in the matter of
patronage and dividend , running , as
they will , through a country wln > ro
nothing is yet produced , is dillicult to
conjecture. The land , I am in
formed , is not adapted to the growth
of BUgur-cnno or coffee , two of the
commoditicii largely advocated , The
bolt where these can bo profitably
grown is confined to a lower , hotter
icgion and nearer the coast , called
Sierras Callontcs ,
Insecurity of life is ono of the
great drawbacks to settling in Mexico ,
.It in not hafo for u person to move
outoido of the city of Mexico unless
going with a party well armnd , not
alone with revolvers but with repeat
ing rifles. Kvery engineer who goes
out in thu field is thus equipped , but
even then they are sometimes waylaid
and murdered , or , at least robbed and
maltreated by thu hordes of bandito
who infest the outskirts of the princi
pal towns. It will take yoara to make
Mexico a pleasantly habitable country
for any but those of lawless proclivi
ties. Immigration to the country will
now do for these who like frontier
life , but not for people seeking quint
homos. The government ia powerless
to correct the evil for the chiefs of the
present bandits may bo in power them
selves any day.
Walking on the sunny side of the
street in the City of Mexico the nun's
rays nro so powerful ai to nml > o it un
comfortably hot ; crossing t the shady
side produces a decided chill , Mhilu
the nfr itself is so oxtmarly dry and
possesses such ft capacity fur absoib-

Another remarkable etlect produced
from the high altitude is the inabilty
to perform unusual oxercisu ; rtninim ;
up a few stops causes a shortness of
breath nnd difliculty m respiration.
The natives do not seem to mind it.
or at least have become HI accustomed
L ) it that you will see them crowded
upon doorstops at early iliwn and late
of nights , mnllling up thuir mouths in
a u retched scrap of old carpet or sack ,

Ludes. So much real misery is not
to be found in the nlmlo coast

Ecuador , Arenc2uela , I'mti-d Status of
Columbia , and all through thu West
India Islands , and I never met with
so much abject poverty as m the City
of Mexico. The inhabitants seem to
liavo fallen to such it depth of human
degradation as to have lost all hope of
any better existence , or to buliuvo
that there could bo anything different.
Can wo wonder , then , at their bandit
life ? I do not remember of seeing it
aoggar , as such , in Mexico. There
wcro thousands nil around you , but
: hey asked for'nothing.
The sanitary condition uf the city islet
lot favorable to health. The site bo
ng lower than the surrounding lakes
mperfect drainage is the result.
Water can bo obtained anywhere in
the city by digging a few feet in the
{ round. Were it not for the high el-
) vation it would possess all the re-
juircinonta for a lirst-clns.i yellow fever
vor district. Of coursu this valley
: ould bo drained , and many proposals
mvo been submitted to that effect.
Iho amount of land which coulct bo
ccoverodwould bo about TJ,000 acres ,
laving a value at present prices of
about § 100,000 , but it would cost
about five times that amount to drain
t , and hence the delay.
The population of Mexico is about
9,500,000 , three-fifths of whom are
Indians. The City of Mexico is esti
mated to bo the homo of 225,000 , per
sons. The mortality , compiled from
statistics extending over a period of
tun years , is very nvuiily distributed
throughout the four seasons , averag
ing about 4 per cent , of the population
| ) oraiimunor about 0'dOO , deaths from
all causes. The average duration ol
lifo ia 2C.4 years. The most frequonf
and fatal diseases are pneumonia and
dmrrhuia , which carry off fully one'
half of those who die : next come pul
monary consumption and typhus and
intermittent fevers. About 3,000 died
from smallpox from Iho year 1800 t < :
1872. In thg year 1870 there averaged
one death pur day from bronchitis ,
and the samo. from whooping-cough ,
April is the warmest month , the
temperature rising to 00 Fahrenheit ,
the minimum temperature showing

can gold , amount in gross to § 10,010-
000. There in , however , considerable
contraband trade carried on all alonjj
the American frontier , particular ! )
across the Itio Grande. The value ol
goods smuggled into Mexico has been
computed at about § 1,000,000 pei
annum , and there n probably a mil'
lion and a half of Mexican silvci
dollars smuggled out of the countrj
each year. Travelers are not permit'

unlucky as to have over this amounl
will have the whole confiscated , am

its seizure , and the Mexicans are nol
slow to act , taking it by force. Tin
average exports fiom Mexico for i
number of years lmn not reached $25 , '
000,000 , and this is mostly io oagh
dollars. Quite a trade is Rpringingui
all along the coast of Yucatan in Sisa
hemp. The principal port , or , rather
open roadstead , where this is taken it
1'rogrcso ; thu plant w called hone
( [ lion. The hemp costs thuro from ( Ij
to ( U cents per pound. It is of tin.
same family as thu pulque plant be
fore mentioned. There is still anoth
er plant of thu same species called pita ,
yielding a stronger and bettor clans ol
fibre than the henequun , This tradi
wili increase the exports , but gonorallj
speaking , nothing is now "exportei
from Mexico except silver. Ameri

premium of 20 per cent , in the Oilj
of Mexico. Mexican dollar * a
Havana exchange fur American g h

are worth but about 85 cents ,
There is a great amount of romanci
about Mexico. The repoits as to tin
great wealth of that country are great
ly oxagqoratcd. The amount of woil
laid out by the United Statun to 1
executed in Muxico , in the mattur o
railroads , amounts to over § 100GUO , ,

Rnilronil Right * nnd Almno * .
Tho' railroad papers are falling
swiftly into line to convince the pub
lic that the ground taken by ono or
t\u > railroad magnates during the past
few months , that ownership in rnil-
roads ir procUoly like ownership in
any prixato busmcisj that the mangers
\gers of railroads have no more re
straints than the managers of a gro
cery store. This theory is not only
contrary to law , but it is a direct in-
suit to the intelligence of the people.
To admit such a "proposition is to as
sort that it is possible for a combina
tion of wealthy mon to deliberately
tnd persistently ruin individuals anil
communities , to build up the Mnvu
uid destroy the independent man ;
anil that there is no redress. When
i state grants a charter to a railroad
company , what is given up ? The
state in oiled nays : This company is
icreby given the following privileges :
The light of way wherever it may
iloaso to run its track.
The right to enter any man's premi
ses , to go through his lawn , between
lis house and front gate , or cut oil'
ho corner of his barn , or to destroy
lis garden , by paying thu market value
if the laud nnd such damages as it
nay inflict upon structure.1) .
The right to destroy the business of
ill teamsters along the line of road.
The right to crush out all stage and
vxprcsn lines.
The right to crush or drive away
ilacksmiths , wagon-makers and various
) thcr mechanics.
The right to crush out prospoious
mulcts andconcentrato , trade in great
cities.
The right to locale towns , which
carries with it the right fo crush other
owns and compel the people to pur-
fclwso new hniiH'H and places of bus- ! .
less from thu railroad company ,
Thu right fo protection from law-
cssncss , and the ritiht io collect dam-
iges in e.isii of loss of property
hrough mobs or ntrikes.
These are only a part of the privi-
ogcs granted by a railroad character.
So other form of corporation has
uch privileged. DOPS any ono sup-
Mso the fmvgningnvfl tlio free gifts of
i statul Not At all. They are simply
> art of the terms of an implied con-
ract. In conaulcration of thu foru-
; oing and ether privileges thu railroad
sompauy is bound utidor that law to
ho following :
To perform perfectly the duties of a
common carrier. '
That includes the duty of dealing
jy A precisely as B is dealt by.
To deal by ono town precisely as
> tlier towns on the same line are dealt
by.And
And as states have often , and always
egally , restricted banks and interest
o a certain per centago per annum ;
so thu railroad , which draws its pat-
onago from the entire community ,
s by the same rule public
)0licy restricted from charging
nero for faroa and freights than will
, 'ipld working oxpunsoa , repairs and u
'air interest on the actual cost of the
road. What more than that is exacted
s an infringement upon a well catiib-
.ishcd law and is robbeiy of the pub
lic. The itbiiBou which have grown up
are due to thu ignorance of the people
ple touching their manitcat rights ,
and to their carelessness. And so ,
little by litth' , railroads have boon
permitted to watur their stocks to
represent from throe and live times
thu original cost of the roads : to evade
the payment of quito two-thirds of
their honest taxes ; to discriminate
against individuals and commu
nities ; to charge rates on freight
which absorb all the profits of the
produces ; to rival stage lines and sad
dle trains in fares in short , to become -
come cngincs.of terror and oppression
whc.ro they wore intended for blessings.
Through their ill-gotten gains they
have corrupted legislatures and con
gress ; they have judged in every state
who are bound to them ; somu of thu
mumborH of the supreme court of thu
United States aio not above suspicion ,
and now in the pride of their power
they have struck at the fountain-head
of public opinion , the press ; and in
every state are ready and gifted pens ,
daily through thu journals , flooding
thu country with railroad special plead-
mg.s , disguised in the form of edito
rials. If these cormorants wore wise
they would not forget themselves ;
would nol forgot that behind legisla
tures , congress , the courtw and thu
press , the pcnplo are watching and
waiting , and dcflpito thu efforta Io
keep ifiom befogged , they are slowly
being educated up to the point when
they will fully understand their rights ,
When that time contra it will bo bad
for any who may bo in the way of
public opinion , whether they bo higher
or low.
