GEORGETOWN, JANUARY II, 1912.
THE DEVELOPMENTS
WHERE ARE THEY?

For months before the hard cider party
came into power, they we're talking loud
in Congress and through their journals Of
the astounding disclosures that they
would make ofunparalleled frauds upon
the government, perpelrated by Mr.. Van
Buren aud his chief officers. The trea-
suro Of the nation had been profusely
squandered by the President in sumptu-
Ously furnishing his " Palace" and by
the heads Of the Departments upon ia
vorite politicians. In short, no frauds
we're too gross TO have been committed
by the late administration. A new set Of
books was TO be opened by the new ad-
ministration, and the old ones held up TO
excite public asionishment and to bring
upon their keepers the ansthemas due
only to the most consummate miscreants.
Public curiosity was excited to the highest
degree in anticipation Of these disclo-
sures, aad an expectation raised which
has met with utter disappointment; moi
because there have been no efforts to
mako the promised disclosures; but be
cause all the efforts yet m'de have only
resulted in failure and the confusion ant
shame oftbe accusers. The search com
menced in the Presidents house, and the
first astonishing disclosure announced tha
the house was very poorly furnished; tha
the sofas, chairs and carpets were old anC
worn to pieces; and that without the ad
dition of some six thousand dollars worti
Of new furniture, the White House woulC
not be fit to receive even the log cabir
President. This development was snfi
cient to surprise, if not astOnish, even al
Ogle. A Committee has since been ap
pointed and literally paid to make more
important Investigations; but if they have
discovered more enormous frauds thai
those perpetrated by Mr. Van Buren il
the White House, we are yet 10 hear 0
it. Although tho heads Of the Depart
, ments have had nine months in which t.
search and exhibit tho iniquities Of th,
old books, yet they have brought to ligh
nothing TO excite our special wonder
bat if they have found any enermity tha
will compare with Mr.. Webster's record
in his " new set Of books" of his truck
ling submission to British usurpation ant
dictation, they should Immediately cx
pose it.

A party feight Americans arrived at

suits, information had been forwarded

Mexican population; and such was the
conviction Ofthe Governor (MRnuel Ar.

country, that he made bis will and secre

Mr.. Howland, Texian officer, accompa.
MED Mr.. ROsebeuy and Baker, reached
Santa Fe, and on the llth, Cumanche
brought information that the Texian force
had reached the eastern settlement. MI.
Rowland was ordered to remain eight days
in Santa Fe, but finding himself suspect
ed Of being Texian spy, left with his
companions on the l2lh. On the 18th an
Italian, accompanied by Mexican Ia cit.
i2en Of Texas arrived and were impris

counts Of the force and intentions oe the
Texlans. During the l4th, 18th and 10th

On the 10th, the Governor ordered all

aiiOns we're attempted to be held on the
part of the Texans, wherein Navarro re-
presented on the part of the Texans,
that their object was TO invite the New
MexicaDs TO unto themselves to The Tex
ian Republic.
The answer was that the Texans must
surrender or fght-and they eventually
surrendered, without firing a gun, on
condition that their lives should be Sc
cure.
On the 4th October, news arrived Ot
the surrender Of Col. McCloud; and the
main body Of tie Texans, 200 in nun
bsr, some so miles in rear Of the posi-
ton Of Col. Cook. On the l7th Of Sep
tember the Mexcsns celebrated the vic.
tory at Vegas, the frontier settlement on
the road to the United States. The
Texans were stripped o ( their arms, pro
perty, and shoes--these were thrown il
a pile in the public square, and distribu
ted among the militia by the Governor
himself. The proclamations, &c. founC
