Castilla at first estimated that Peru had a debt would not exceed 7 or 8 million pesos. The truth is that payment of this debt through consolidation bonds was a scandal of capital ratios as in the next government, headed by José Rufino Echenique, bonuses paid 23 million pesos. The corruption that was generated around this issue not only reached but also unscrupulous traders honorable men of Lima society. The ingenuity to counterfeit bonds led many men to forge signatures of past presidents including the signatures of Bolívar and San Martín. Ramón Castilla returned to power after taking up arms against the government of Echenique. The trigger was the scandal of the consolidation bonds. It knew he had a "factory bond" and that the government looked the other way. Complain that the Peruvian merchant Domingo Elias, Ramón Castilla was quick to take up arms and lead a revolution moralizing. Had the support of southern Peru and the social classes that had not been favored by the carve-up of bonds. Left Arequipa and Cuzco and Ayacucho step. In the latter city decreed the end of Indian tribute and passing through Huancayo abolished slavery (1854). He faced Echenique troops in Palma, a few kilometers from the city of Lima which overcame. He took over as president on August 14 seconds 1855.Este government was a liberal. The ultimate expression of thoughts and expectations this time is expressed in the constitution of 1860, characterized by the inclusion of social sectors hitherto excluded from national political life. Similarly popular sovereignty did not dent the current conservative postulated the sovereignty of the intelligence about the ignorant people who do not have the financial means nor the mental capacity to lead to estado.La constitution was characterized by strengthening the functions of the camera of deputies, government time reduction (from six to four years), election of two vice presidents and was allowed the right to vote to all men who could read and write to the foremen or small business and pay some contribution to estado.Entre major works of the second period of Castile stands the completion of the General Census of the Republic, which resulted in a population 2 million 487 thousand inhabitants, the creation of the Department of Loreto and the purchase of several vessels for exploration and patrol the Amazon. Other works highlight was the return of the municipalities and the creation of the Directorate of Public Works, the opening of the drinking water in the capital city, the construction of the passenger train Lima-Chorrillos, the promulgation of Instruction Public (1855), a liberal and developed mainly by Sebastian Lorente.El government of Castile came to an end in 1862. Miguel de San Román was elected president and succeeded him in command without a hitch. Had a short term due to poor health. In the few months he was in command established the Metric System of Weights and Measures and changed the monetary system since Peru had been invaded Bolivia feeble coin of little value. Similarly, during his government knew of the presence of a English fleet in the Pacific Ocean whose true intentions (to recover their colonies) were covered under the name of scientific expedition.
