One Pliase ol «lie Jlrxlrtu Problem.
Speculation ami discussion relative
to the Mexican problem are becoming
more and more copious and animated
with leading newspapers in the North.
The New York Ilerahl publishes a map
of Northern Mexico to illustrate the
letter of a correspondent, who proposes
to get rid of our Mexican border
troubies by accepting from the Mexican
government all the Mexican territory
north of a line extending from the
mouth of the Rio Grande to a point on
the Pacific some distance below Mazat-
lan, in consideration of the surrender
by the United States government of its
claim to pecuniary indemnity on ac-
count of American citizens, and in fur-
ther consideration of the oenefits
which the rest of Mexico would derive
from railroad facilities and improved
commercial ielations. The correspond-
ent admits that it would be a "disgrace"
to make war for the acquisition of this
part of Mexico; "but," he continues,
"it would be 3ound as well as bril-
liant statesmanship to make its cession
the subject of a frank and frieadly ne
gotiation, which should offer to the
Mexican government and people not
only a considerable indemnity in
money, but, what is of greater import-
ance to them, absolute free trade be-
tween the countries for a long term of
years, with such assurance as a goverr-
ment receiving so important a cession
of territory could give that railroad
communication should be opened
through it within a fixed period." This
is more easily said than done. It is
true, as the same writer asserts, that
the richest and most productive
parts of Mexico lie at present
about as far from us as China or Ja-
pan. It is true that, to the discredit of
American statesmanship, we are better
acquainted with the products of China
and Japan than we are with many
beautiful and useful manufacture*- of
Mexican mechanics and artisans. It is
true that, with a more vigilant, en-
lightened and sagacious management of
our foreign affairs, Americans would
long since have been the largest con-
sumers of Mexican products, such as
coffee, sugar, tobacco, cocoa, and va-
rious tropical fruits, exchanged for
American products on an absolute
or approximate basis of recipro-
cal free trade. But precious time
has passed, golden opportunities have
been neglected, until anarchy, in the
shape of incessant revolutionary fer
mentation, has become the normal con-
dition, so to speak, of Mexico. There
is no national government in Mexico
possessing the essential attributes of
national authority. There is certainly
none endowed with the courage or the
vigor of national responsibility.
Whether Diaz or Lerdo ia at the head
of the government domiciled in the
City of Mexico, that government has
only nominal control over Northern
Mexico, and there is not the
least ground for supposing that
the one or the r>tt»or of oiese chiefs,
as President, would ever be able toper-
form the international duty of sup-
pressing marauders in Northern Mex-
ico, or to maintain themselves in power
long enough to complete the cession of
Sonora, Chihuahua and other Northern
Mexican States, if they dared to under-
take such a measure. It is pretty safe
to assume that there is no government
in Mexico with which it is possible to
treat with the least degree of practical
success on such a subject. The United
States would,to be sure, have the right,
for the protection of its citizens from
marauders issuing from a country
which is a prey to revolution ana anar-
chy, to cross into Northern Mexico and
to camp there indefinitely. But, in ex-
isting circumstances, to propose such a
remedy looks like proposing to get rid
of a huge, rank and intolerable nui-
sance by eating it. The question is,
whether good digestion would wait on
the meal when swallowed, or health on
both. The Herald considers another
contingency, as follows:
The Secretary of War instructs Gen. Ord to
purHue marauder* across the Bio Grande,
catch and punish them. But a stern chase is
a long chase. Suppose Gen. Ord should pur-
sue a band to the capital of Chihuahua : Sup
pose the arrival of the American troops
snould lead to a public demonstration asking
them to remain? Suppose the property own-
era of the stale of Cnihuabua should on see-
ing our flag fail in love with it? Suppose, in
short, the pear in ripe and fads into our lap?
We are not making a wild supposition. It is
very weil known that the bulk of the peace-
able and property owning ciassesjin all the
Northern Mexican fetates wait only for an as
surance of protection from the United States
to fling themselves into *ur arms. It is not a
conquest but a deliverance they look for; nor
is it probable that once they had ventured to
divorce themselves from Mexico Diaz or any
possible successor of his would have strength
to interfere with them.
The virtual secession of Northern
Mexican States, with a view to securing
regular government, law and order,
and the conditions of material and
social progress, under Ameiican aus-
pices, would present a case in which
the United States could scarcely decline
to extend the solicited guardianship
without being false to the interests ®f
civilization and to the requirements of
good neighborhood. The industrious
and property-owning classes in North-
ern Mexico are probably outnumbered
by Indians, thieves, robbers and revo-
lutionary adventurers infesting the
same section ; but they represent there
the cause of civilization, which ought
not to be abandoned to a hopeless
struggle with anarchy and barbarism
in presence of any power sufficiently
strong to rescue it.

MATTERS IN WESTERN TEXAS.
A .Tlasaarrc tor Kobbery In Wilaon
County and a Godsend In tbe
Sbape of Hall's men.
Correspondence of the News.]
Cckro, June 20,1ST".
A family of immigrants were passing
through Wilson county last week and camped
near Stockdale, in a house occupied by a fam-
ily by the name of Thomas. Early in the
morning Thomas and his two sons went to the
camp and commenced to murder and rob
them. One of the boys was in the "woods get-
ting firewood and, when the Thomases made
the attack, broke and ran. After going a
short distance he met a few of Lieut. Hall's
men. The boy took them for some more of
the robbers and ran from them, but was fol-
lowed and overtaken. As soon as they caught
him they asked him why he was running, and
he told them that his father, mother and
three brothers were murdered a short dis-
tance from there.
The men took the boy and put him behind
one of them, and he directed them to the
place. As they came in sight one of the young
Thomases discovered them and ran off. They
took after him, captured him, and found $1500
on his person. As the other men rode up they
found old man Thomas and another son
breaking into trunks. The murderers were
aU arrested.

Dallas, June 23, 1877.
This evening about 7 o'clock the Hon. Ben
Long, formerly Mayor of this city, and re-
cently Deputy Internal Revenue Collector,
was shot by a man named Tom ReyooJdg in a
saioon near Long's residence. As far as as-
certained. tbe attack on Long was entirely
unprovoked, he being in the saloon while Rey-
nolds was engaged in a dispute with Mr.
Houseman, the proprietor. W ithotit warning
Reynolds drew a six shooter and shot Mr. Long,
the ball penetrating near and in front of the
right fchoulder, and ranging toward the lung.
Mr. Long walked to his residence two blocks
distant, and died in a few minutes afier
reaching it.
After shooting Mr. Long, Reynolds fired at
Houseman, wounding h m in the arm, and
then fled. He was pursued by a man named
Charles Overton, wno brought him to bay be-
hind a tree, where, after exchanging several
slots, two of which slightly grazed Overton's
head, Reynolds dropped shoe in the breast.
He was conveyed to the Ci y Hospual, where
he now lies in a precarious condition.

Marshall, June 23,1S77.
The Marshall Messenger is a new paper here,
E. M. JU gland editor. Tne Messenger of to-
day contained a caustic article against the
Herald, and about 1 o'clock Mr. Sloan of the
Herald, armed with a cowhide and revolver,
went to the Messenger office and attempted to
cowhide Ragland, who was unarmed, but was
prevented by gentlemen present. It is feared
bj' friends that the trouble is not ended, and
that it the attempt to cowhide is repeated
somebody will be hurt.
Loulftlaiia Tlie Case of ex«Auditor
Job-son.
New Orleans, June 23.—Er-Auditor John-
son wa* before the Legislative Committee of
Investigation to day. He oeclined to answer
any questions, but at the same time author-
izes a statement that the assertion made in
certain papers and telegraphed hence that
'some of the missing documents were de-
stroyed and others were taken away when
they were expecting an attack by the White
League in January last," is incorrect. His
defense rests entirely upon his legal rights to
the possession of his office and records there-
of. which question has been carried upon ap-
peal to the Supreme Court of the United
states, by whose decision he will alone be
guided.
NacTIahon tbe Best man So Far.
Paris. June 23.—The vote in the Senate for
dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies hav-
ing been foreseen, has caused little sensation*
It is discussed by the momim? papers with
grear calmness. The exact figures of the vote
in the Senate were 149 against 130.
The Deputies passed yesterday supplemen
tary naval vote of nearly six millions of francs
for armament, necessitated by events in the
East.
Versailles, June 23.—The Senate and
Chan.bero Deputies after unimportant sit
tings, adjourned until Monday.
After the close of the sitting of the Cham
ber the Due de Broalie, president of the Coun-

entered to read the decee of dissolution.
They consulted President Urevy, but it being
too late, postponed the reading until Monday
THE RUSSO TURKISH WAR.
Crossing: the Danube-Bridsrei at
1 brail and Galatz—Tbe Russians
In Bulgaria at Last-No Resist-
ance.
London, June 23.—The Post's Bucharest dis-
patch says preparations for crossing the
Danube are complete, and crossing is ex-
pected In a few nights.
A special to the Xews from I brail says all is
ready, bridge from Ibrail to the Turkish shore
being completed. The bridge is between
seven and eight huadred yards long. The
Russians have also a large number of rafts
and employ all merchant vessels detained in
port. Seven wooden sloops have been iron-
plated, armed with two guns and have a capa-
city for two hundred men. The bridge is com-
posed of huge plank*, held together by an-
chors from the Ibrail side. Five batteries for
protection have been constructed on the
Matchin side. The Russian force at Ibrail is
fifteen thousand.
Austrian troops have lined the Montenegrin
frontier with strong detachments of men, and
children are flying to Budna and Catlano.
The Russians have material ready to bridge
the river at Galatz. The Turks made no sign
of hindrance atibrall. Two small camps are
visible on the heights above Matchin. The
Russian force at Galatz and Ibrail numbers
40.000. A wide marsh on the Turkish side
separates the combatants at both places.
New York, June 23 —a cable special says a
whole Russian corps is in Bulgaria, and the
Czar, with his staff, intends to cross to-day.
London, June 23—A telegram from Ibrail
announces that six thousand Russians crossed
the Danube from Ge^atz. The bridge con-
structed by the Russians over the river at
Ibrail is finished. The Turkish garrison at
Matchin has withdrawn.
The second edition of the Daily JYews has a
dispatch from its correspondent at Russian
headquarters at Ibrail, dated yesterday,
which says the Russians crossed.the Danube at
Galatz in boats. They have taken the heights
behind Lizila, near Matchin. The Turks are
said to have abandoned Matchin.
A sufficient number of Russians have crossed
to establish themselves solidly. They are
now intrenched.
A Bucharest dispatch to the second edition
of the Standard says the Turks are threaten-
ing tbe line of railway between Tchernovoda
and Matchin, and ic is rumored that there are
indications that the Turks will not defend the
Dobrudscha.
Various special dispatches point to a speedy
removal of Russian headquarters to Alexan-
dria, in Roumania, probably Sunday or Mon-
day.
Ibrail, June 23.—The Russians, on landing
onth^» Turkish banks of the Danube, pene-
tiated directly into the interior behind the
hills, gaining possession of the heights com-
manding Matchin, after an obstinate fight
with a body of Bashi Bazouks. The engage-
ment lasted from daybreak until noon. The
capture of Matchin is imminent.
Tbe Struggle of tbe Montenegrins
Contesting Every Foot, but
Bonat to Succumb.
Ldndon, June 23.—A telegram from the Cet-
tinje correspondent of the Times, oated yes-
terday, says Suliman Pasha advances very
slowly, the road being obstinately contested
by the Montenegrins. No doubt he will suc-
ceed in getting through, but with very grave
losses.
According to latest consular reports he had
22.000 regulars and from 5000 to 8000 irregu-
lars against whom Prince Nicholas can only
oppose 8000 to 10,000 men. The fighting is
very sanguinary, but the Turks can only re
turn now with danger, and wiil rush forward
regardless o? losses. The Convent of Ostrok
was burned this morning, attacks are an-
nounced on two points of tbe southern fron-
tier. Total number of Turkish farces now
operating against Montenegro is about <50,000.
Renter*s dispatch from Ragusa yesterday
says fighting near Ostrok ceased yesterday.
The Montenegrins occupy an intrenched posi-
tion, which prevents the advance of Sulunan
Pasna.
Prince Nicholas with another corps is in-
trenched at Orova, south of Osrrok Ali Saib
is expected to attack Danilogrod to-morrow
with the object of effecting a junction with
8uliman Pasha. Should these operations suc-
ceed. both ar ides will march upon Cettinje.
while Lieutenant General Mehment Ali will
march down Yosisachetki to cover their
flanks.
All Montenegrins in Herzegovina are re
urning to their country's defense.
Constantinople, June 23.—It is officially
announced that the Turkish divisions operat-
ing from Herzegovina and Albania «gainst
the Montenegrins successful'y effected a
junction at 9 o'clock this morning, and are
now marching upon Cettinje.
Cettinje. June 23.—Montenegrin official
acc unts admit that Suleiman Pasha and Ali
Saib's forces have effected a junction, and
say it was after six days hard fighting, in
which the Turks lost 7000.
Tbe War In Asia—Continued Flgbt-
ing Between Moubkiar Pasba's
Army and tbe Rutstans.
Constantinople, June 23.—Intelligence re-
ceived to-day announces that Mouhktar Pasha
has been engaged since Thursday with the
Russian army at Tatkahodja, between Khor-
san and Delibaba. The battle was proceeding
all day yesterday. Result unknown.
The Porte in its reply to Lord Derby's note
in reference to the Suez Canal, dispatched on
tne 2!st in«t.. is understood to accept the
principle of free navigation of the canal by
neutrals but to reserve the right to fight an
enemy's vessel.
Constantinople. June 23 —Telegrams from
Moukhtar Pasha stated that the Tu<ks at-
tacked. on the 20th inst, a Russian division
encamped at Heleatz, and the fight lasted un-
til nightfall. Tte Russian division was cut in
two and fled in disorder.
Miscellaneous Notes.
T ondon, June 23 —A Paris dispatch to the
Times say> it is stated that the steamer con
veying the gigantic gun, wnich was exhibiied
at Philadelphia, to Russia, has grounded near
the island of Ossel.
The Daily Ne / s Ploesti dispatch confirms
the report that the Grand Duke Nicholas re-
ceived the English attache. Col. Wellesley.
very brusquely. He pin forth stipulations as
the condition of his accompanying the army,
which must trammel him as an independent
representative of England. His freedom of
action would be supervised strictly, and hfe
was warned that it was expected he should
testify in an unfriendly sp rit. Col. Wellesley
remains at Bucharest presumably awaiting
instructions from h~me.
Course of tbe London Stock Ex-
change—Weekly Review.
London, June 23.—On the Stock Exchange
the market for English funds has been excep-
tionally flat, as compared with the steady and
sometimes advancing foreign market
Rumors this week about British intervention,
though not sufficiently disquieting to produce
any marked effect on prices generally, have
yet been enough to alarm those engaged in
keeping up the markets; hence the sales of
consols to provide against accidents.
On Thursday the prevailing dullness was in-
creased by the definite shape of rumors of a
war expenditure by the British government.
On Friday there was no increase of general
business, but some consols were offered for
sale. At the close there was a drop in the
speculative markets in sympathy wirh tae rela-
tive foreign stocks, the harvest prospects be-
!ng still good all-over the continent. There
is some plain ground for steadiness of value,
but it is also noticeable that there are large
financial interests in favor of high prices.
At present a Russian loan, a German loan,
an issue of United States stock, and a Portu-
gese loan, are coming forward, and none of
the groupes interested in the remaining secu-
rities w uld willingly allow a break in the
markets. Speculators for a fall are, iheie-
fore. overpowered and do not opera e The
most important declines are \%c. Egypt pre-
ference. Hungarian anout lc. lower, Turkbh
>4c., and Russian fractionally lower.

Washington, June 23.—Commodore Jno. R.
Goldsborough is dead.
Secretary Sherman has received a dispatch
from a daughter of Lewis Cass, who married
a German nobleman, directing a subscription
of $50,000 in the four per cant, bonds.
It is stated that the Canadian government
is moving for Sitting Bull's expulsion from
Canada. His presence inspires the Blackfoot
Indians to turbulence.
Rufus Campin is appointed pension agent at
St. Louis.
Clerk Adams has completed his roll for the
next Hous-% which shows a majority of eight
full-fledged Democrats. Garfield, Banks and
FoRter are counted out.
The Kreednnn's Hank has enough, it
claims, to pay 10 per cent, dividend, but the
expense of distribution would in most ca«es
cover the amount, 'lhere are 20.000 deposits
of sums under $5, to whom the fifty cents is
thought of no consequence. The commis
sioners think they will ultimately be able to
pay fifty cents on the dol'ar.
benator Jones, of Nevada, one of the silver
Senators, is preparing the report of the joinr
commission on silver. He favors the double
standard, and considers that the ©pinion of
the Secretary of the Treasury is of no more
binding force than that of any other individ-
ual.
G. Wiley Wells, ex-member of Congress
from Mississippi, will be appointed Consul
General to China
\ .The New York Sim charges Mr. Evarts with
secretly conducting or promoting schemes
for the disintegration of Mexico and the ex-
tension of our boundary beyond the Rio
Grande. The Secretary read the first part of
the article with an outward appearance of
amusement, which changed, however, to in-
dignation as lie progressed toward the con-
clusion.
When a«ked whether he was willing to say
anything on the subject, he replied: 44 Not to
go into that matter. It isn't worth while to
contradict such stories, for as soon as one is
set at rest a new one is found to take its plaqe
next day/'
Remarking with recovered good nature,
u You know the newspapers must have their
say."
The Secretary turned the conversation to
other subjects
Assistant Secretary Howard is quoted that
all such stories are "moonshine.'*
It may be stated that a few days ago Hayes
declared there was a shadow of foundation
for the report tthat the administration desires
either by force or diplomacy to obtain any-
port ion of Mexican territory. As the admin-
istration understands it. holders of Texas de-
predation ciaims and filibustering soldiers
of fortune, reinforced by mining speculators
and a certain class of politicians out of em-
ployment have combined to revive the old
annexation scheme.
These classes are trying to create public
sentiment in its favor by making it appear
to be part ^ though it is not a part* of the ad-
ministration's policy of vigorous resistance to
Mexican border raids.
Some color is lent, the insp'red statement
says, to their claims of co-operation on the
part of the administration by its continued
refusal to recognize Diaz, but, on the other
hand, even if there were no orher considera-
tions opposed to annexing more Mexican ter-
ritory, and the fact that such annexatton
would give greater polit'cal honor to the
South, and would unquestionably be unpopu-
lar in rising portions of the North, is suffi-
cient to make the adoption of such a policy
by a Republican administration improbable.
Executive Mansion, )
Washington, June 22, 1877. s
/%/ —I desire to call your attention to the
following paragraph in a letter addressed by
me to the Secretary of the Treasury on the
conduct to be observed by officers of the gen-
eral government in relation to the elections:
No officer should bo required or permitted
to take part in tbe management of political
organizations, caucuses, conventions or elec-
tion campaigns. Their right to vote and ex-
press their views on public question*, either
orally or through the press, is not denied, pro-
vided it does not interfere with the discharge
of official duties. No assessment for political
purposes on officers or subordinates should be
allowed. This rule is applicable to every de-
partment of the civil service. It should be
understood by every officer of the general
government that he is expected to conform
his conduct to its requirements. Very re-
spectfully, ^ R. B. HAVES.

New York, June 23.—At the New York Hotel
this morning a large number of distinguished
citizens paid their respects to Gov. Hampton.
The steamer l'Amerique, of the French
Trans-Atlantic line, thoroughly overhauled
and rtfitted, left the dock for Plymouth and
France, with between 140 and 150 passengers.
All the Jewish synagogues in the city were
this morning full—unusual—it being antici-
pated that the Rabbis would have something
to say concerning the subject of controversy
between Judge Henry Hilton and Mr. Selig-
man. In most of the synagogues the subject
was not touched.
The exceptions were the congregations of
Bethel, Lexington avenue 8ml 55th street;
Temple Emanuel, Fifth avenue and IGth
street, and Shearith Israel. No. 5, Westl9r.h
street. The pastors of the separate churches
dec lared that the importance of the subject
had been greatly magnified aod that no great
principle was involved, the whole subject be-
ing simply a personal controversy between
two individuals.

uses of a daily newspaper, in its adver-
tising not less tban in its other depart-

concise and practical shape the social,
business and industrial characteristics
of the city and State, will abundantly

By no other means can persons, at

vestigation.
Nf.w Oulicans, June 23.—The custom-house
commission heard a number of prominent
importing merchants' complaints against the
custom-house management. Their complaints

tion requiring bond from importers in cases
where duplicate invoices fail to come to hand
from consul. The commission wili recom-
mend changes in regulations covering these
specifications. Gen. Sheldon, member of

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: (Rep.) Sen-
ator Morton, in the hour ot h s afflic-
tion, by the loss of the Indianapolis
Pension Agency,, should remember the
golden proverb ot the Presidenl; " He
serves his party best who serves his
country best/' We keep this legend
pasted in our hat, and it has inspired
us to rise above party on several occa-
ti ns.
Blair's Letter to Broadhead: I can
say this of Hayes, that his Southern
aolicy meets my most cordial approval,
[t was really the policy contended for
by the Democrats in the last canvass,
and he has done more to carry it out
satisfactorily than Mr. Tilden might
have been able to do had he bt.cn de-
clared President. Mr. Tilden would
have met with stioag opposition from
the ultra leaders of the Republican
party. Mr. Hayes and the men he has
called around him would not have
been of those leaders. But such oppo-
sition is paralyzed now, because he is
the acknowledged head of the Repub-
lican party. Tne Democrats of course
acquiesce, and there is peace all around,
and prosperity will assuredly follow,
and for this Mr. Hayes deserves the
gratitude of the whole country.
Indianapolis Sentinel: Henri Wat
terson, iu climbing the political pole,
suffers all the inconveniences of the
unfortunate monkey whose exploits
made him ridiculous. But Henri does
not seem to be aware that the country
is laughing at him—that every one
who sets him snickers. Henri is some-
what excusable. Living in a State
that has produced intellectual giants,
Henri believes that he has in some way
fallen heir to their old shoes, hats and
under garments. In this way he climbs,
and as he goes up the people laugh.
Henri's statesmanship affords an ex-
haustless fountain of fun in Kentucky.
The bare mention of his Congressional
exploits is followed by a fusilade of ha
has. Henri wanted to impress the
woilJ with tbe fact that he was a son
of thunder. The Gatling gun of poli-
tics he fired, and fizzled and faded. He
called for 100,000 unarmed Kentuck-
ians to march to Washington, but the
response was about like it would have
been if he had stood on tbe hills around
Boone's Lick and invited the bones of
the dead monsters to stand up and
fight. Kentuckians laughed and said,
"Henri, come down," and Henri
obeye i.
Baltimore Gazette: If the P.esident
had made up his mind to fall down and
worship the silver calf, the opinion of
the assistant Secretary of the Treasury
will probably recall lum to his senses.
This, of course, is on the supposition
that he would not willingly abet a
conspiracy to defraud the creditors of
the government. Assistant Secretary
French's opinion marks out so plain a
plan of procedure on the silver ques
tion that " a wayfaring man, though a
fool, may not err therein." He says
t>iat "all bonds sold under the act of
1870 must be paid in gold coin of the
s'andard value named therein, namely:
23 22 100 grains of pure gold to the
dollar." Since the act of 1873, demone-
tizing silver, it has not been and can
not be lawful for the government to de-
clare silver a legal tender for such
bonds. The buyer of bonds made his
purchase on a single standard basis,
and that basis was gold. In the digni-
fied and studied wordingof Mr. French's
opinion, " any act which shall declare
silver coin a tender for such bonds is
an attempt to insert an element not in
the contract—an element expressly ex-
cluded by the promise or by the act of
1873." All of which means, in plain
phrase, that the remonetization of sil-
ver would be a fraudulent act—a fail-
ure of the borrower to keep his solemn
contract with the lendtr.
