 hseems to be next to impossible to combat success fully the ignorance-thep perverse and wul ignorance of some men who determined to resist the light of truth and reason. During the late political contest in this state, 1t was roundy asserted by many of the to- rles as though they believed it. that there was not and would not be during the present year, any surplus mo- ney in the Treasury of the United States for distrbu tion that all the talk about there being any such plus was federal lie-a whg lie-a mere electioneer- ing trick-that if there had been any, Doctor Phelps would not have been such fool to have voted not to have it distributed and so on And notwithstand- ing it was endeavored to be shewn them that at the last distribution there least 5000 900 remaining in the Treasury, which added to the S,O0O,OOO Bank stock, would make lS it utterly useless to reason with them against their preudices-they had been told otherwise by of the oiceholders and would not be convinced. Now that the election is over, and deception by their pretended friends will not probably be further attempted ask them to look at the following statement from under the hand of the Secretary of the Treasury-Mr Van Buren's oaun Se- cretary! It will be seen that notwithstanding Con- gross and the Supreme Court had just closed herses sions and the other expenses of the government are always greatly augmented during the winter months, the amount of revenue received during the months of January and February over and above the expen- ses, was Sl,253946! Will these wiseacres say this too is whig lie that the Secretary of the Treasury will not tell the truth because it does not correspond with the statements of those who are determined to make use of them as their tools and dupes? Read what follows -
 TREASURY DEPARTMENT, April 1, 1887. Notice is hereby given in conformity to the resolu ton of the Senate, passed March 3d. 1887, that the receipts for the month of January last, were

"A gentleman who came from St

that several persons sat up all night
to protect the Custom-housei in case Of
an attack as a band Of ruffians had
threatened to demolish it and at the
same time compel Mr. McCrae the
collector to resign his commission as a
magistrate. The country from St

been forced to resign their commits

down was dragged out of his bed
forced to walk along the pole and

to leave their house and so has a Mr.

TAMPICO OCTOBER S.-The
private information we have received
from Mexico represents the country
to be in most deplorable condition.
Marauders swarm on every high
way, while the imbecile government
despite its good intentions, cannot
check robbery. The conducta from
|Zacatecas was attacked by $50 of
these miscreants and the leader of
the treasure after having l2 men kill
ed fell previously wounded. On tho
other hand the assailants lost Is of
their party but possessed themselves
Iof sc, 900 dollars. 1t is said likewise
that a similar encounter took place
ion the route between Mexico and
Very Cruz. Commerce is at its low
est ebb; the feeble government offers
no security whatever to mercantile
affairs. The recent ordinances con-
cerning Custom House officers have
only crippled its operations still fur
ther. Youhave doubtlesslearned the
revolt of the entire provence of New
Mexico which has separated Itself
from the American republic has de-
clared itself independent and soil
cites annexation TO the American
Union. All that | can say adds our
correspondent, is that Mexico is
rapidly falling into dissolution.
In our paper Of tomorrow we
shall offer some considerations on
other interesting news.-N. O. Bee.
