twcun the custom house and postoflico

is Cook county representation in the state

ST. Louis , April 10. The Globu-Dom-
oorat printa a special from the City of
Mexico stating that the feeling against
the ] recently , enacted stamp tax ia still
very bitter , and the situation critical.
Business haa boon suspended in many
parts of the republic , and merchants gen
erally are assuming a very determined
attitude. It is reported that the govern
ment intends to declare the acts of the
merchants in closing their atorca oa revo
lutionary , that their liccacs bo revoked ,
and that thuy bo compelled to pay heav
ily for the privilege of ro-opening their
stores. On the other hand it is stated
the Mexican senate passed to its second
end reading a bill repealing the vtamp
act , but as the government ia not in
sympathy with thia now it is very doubt
ful whether the bill will finally pass. A
dispatch from Matamoraa Bays the con
dition of the affairs of the government is
deplorable , there being charges of
financial rottenness , and intimated n revo
lution if a greatly better state of things
is not speedily brought about. '
