CmOF MEXICO , October 7. President ; Gounzaloz convened the .Mexican Congress on the 10th inst. His message was considered ua.iv very .able effort. Tt began in the following language : "Since the adjournment of I the last session of Congress , peace has reigned and 'progress 'been the watchword of the day. With respect to our international relations there exist two cases of crave moment to our government. The ono is the ' -stato ot insecurity along our border consequent upon the ravages of the Indians from the neighboring repub lic and the frequent invasion by cattle thieves. The other is the question of i the boundary line between the republics of Guatemala and Mexico. The complaints und de mands of our minister ' at Washington , in regard to the for- riner , have generally received favor able replies , and everything tended to the belief that but for the deplorable misfortune which hivs befallen the ' people of the United States in the as sassinationof the president their gov ernment would have paid more attcn tion to our repeatdd representations .and remedied the evilsof 'which wo arc with so much jus tice complaining. Our relations with Gautemula on the south un fortunately do not have the favorable outlook of our border troubles on the north. Our government has shown a ready disp isition to settle the vexed question of. boundary between the two "coufHriiS. "AV ' Tioro" "broil * metby - procrastination and a general indiffer ence on the part of Gautemala to this most serious of questions The vogue- i ness and uncertainty surrounding the sentiment ofthis international bound- .ary line can only be productive of grave injury and possibly serjous re sults. " The president closed his message as 'follows : "The condition of the repub lic IK consoling in the highest degree. Peace is confirmed in the interior and foreign commerce is increasing. There are more than 17,000 kilometres of telegraph in operation. The cables place us in connection with the whole civilized .world. Iron rails pierce and surmount the moun tains and traverse the valleys. Onr revenues reach a fjsuro without precedent. Property is increasing in value , interest on money is diminish ing and more than 00,000 hands , for merly inactive or turned to unremun- erativo tasks , now find employment iand contribute their labor to the wel fare and general prosperity of our country.

Sam Chapman declared that Grcen'a nt- Acka on the tarmors' alliance would severely injure the party. Without ho members of the alliance thu party could hardly muster u corporal's ; uard in liin county.

Having disposed ot the prelimina ries the temporary organization was- nude permanent and the convention ook a recess to 11 p. m. A GAME OF DUPLICITV VOH developed nnd exposed to-night which cannot fail to have1 its effect 'in ' the future politics of this'Htnte. Nearly a month ago The Otuuliu Re publican pronounced in most emphatic terms in luvor of the ronominntion of Judge Maxwell. From the very beat authority I learn . thah the editorial leader advocating Maxwell's ronominution was submitted to Thurston and by him approvcd > before - fore it was publishpd. Tliis fact known to the intimuto friends of Max well afforded them assurance that no organized opposition would bo attempted. Having thrown Maxwell's friends off 'their ' guard Thuraton had the state scoured by his political henchmen , and in Douglas county ho secured every proxy that could bo procured for his followers The only intimation Max well had of Thu rs ton's treachery reached him through TUB BKK. Ho waa not disposed to believe it until Thurston hud shown his hand in thu convention. THUUT8ON UNMA8KKI > himself when ho moved that the nomi nation ; of Hupromo judge bo made by secret ballot. With thu most Holonm and tragic air he de clared that ho didn't want the latm hold over his head and ap pealed to the convention to protect * the ' sacred right of conscience in voting. In this desperate effort to bush whack Maxwell , ho was supported by that eminent Esau , G.V. . Collins , who sold out last year for a mers ot' potage. Put. 0. Ilawes and Charles Green also urged the secret ballot. Frank Ransom made a scathing speech in opposition , _ Ho wanted men who had pledged their votes to several candi dates to show their hand. Ho insist ed that members of a convention had no votes of their own , but wore accountable to their con stituents and nro duty bound to put their votes on iccord. Chapman , Col. Crabh , J , W.Ellor nnd others seconded Hansom. Finally thu vote wan taken nnd the secret ballot voted down by a largo majority. Thu Thurston plot was effectually exploded , - ploded and the nomination of Judge Maxwell followed as a mat tor of course. TIu'HO were the most exciting inci dents of the convention. Tlie closing scuno wus , interesting only in the outrugo perpetrated by Chairman Thummell in refusing to entertain the loaolutions which Ellor und Iluneom sought to engraft in : thu platform , I cannot close this letter without oxpresjing admiration for lion , FrankRansom , arising young man who ia bound to make hit ) mark at no distant day , Ho made a splen did and plucky tight , M. . - -11
