JSatlonal Associated Proas.
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. "
OTHEU EVENTS.

PANAMA , September 28. The latest

as to the policy of the new adminis
tration in Chili , which is to atwimo of
fice on the 18th. It is probable , how
ever , thutthuy will maintain a military
policy , and it is generally believed
that n now campaign is intended. If
, it will be begun by nn attack on
Aruquilmh. The Chilian troops in
Lima are all encamped outside merely

the anniversary of Chilian independ
ence nn the 18th inst , but really prepared -
pared to moot in force the expected
advance of Montenoros. It is feared
now that the foreign Turban guard
may bo called out , and if so it will
followed by rioting in the city.
Many Peruvians are leaving the lines
and joining Montoneros. Pierola has
ordered 15,000 eiilcH assessed from a in
dozen citizens at Yea , and the general
impression is that ho hoops up the

Seventy Montonoros were killed in

introduction of the Irish land net
Into England , although English nnd
Scottish land required much atten
tion. The farmers' chief object waste
to secure nn interest in holding a
compensation for improvement. The
conservatives , ho said , had proposed
to thia but failed. Mr. Gladstone at
tributed the general depressed state
of trade to decreased purchasing
power , through bad harvests , nnd hot.
from the contraction of the exports of
the country.

nounced P.mioll as the lender of n
handfull of men who were not Worthy
of n name , hut were n parliamentary
pack , advocating a doctrine ot public
plunder , the isstio of which was the
law on one hand and sheer lawlessness
on the other. They respected neither
the law or human life. , Pnrnoll , ho
said , called America the only friend
of Ireland , but ho had never uttered
n word disapproving of the
assassination literature of that
country. It was not America
literature , for there was not an Amer
ican who did not spurn and loathe it.
[ Cheers. ] Mr. Gladstone complained
of the traditional sluggishness of the
loyal Irish to assert themselves in
support of the government. The cri
sis was 'great but not force or feuf of
lowing the full and free boivotit of the
act and if the law continued to , bo re
fused , the resources of civilization to
moot 'lawlessness ' were not yet ox-
liiiuatcd.

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
