DEAR BENNETT -
When we can get redress no other way, we apply
to you as the only sure way OF accomplishing our
object. The public have been looking longing and
expecting reduction OF the hre on the Harlem
Railroad The directors promised (accordng to
rumors) that reduction on the 18th OF last month.
We have not, yet, realized the fulfment of that
promise. But we feel as though we had right to
demand II. With cheap postage and low fare all
around us, are not the citizens OF New York and
Westchester counties, which are closely connect
ed In feeling and interest, Justly entitled to the same
privileges think they are-with the rates at
37i cts to Whtepains and Iarts Corners "a IS miles

The company would find it to their interest to
adopt the above rates, as from careful inquiries am
led TO believe, as result Of the change where one
person now takes the railroad they would find from
three to five under this reduction BY calling the
attention OF the directors Of the company to these
facts, you will confer great favor the public and
much obhge your numerous patrons

LIGHTNING, AS MANURE.--Strange as it
may seem, electricity has been appliedsuc-
cessiully TO f%ertilize ground. This hasbeen
the novel idea at the recent meetings ofthe
British Association. 1t was first discovered
by a lady in Scotland, who carried some
wires from an Electrical Battery TO her flow
er ground, and found it very useful. Since
that experiment, has been successfully tried
of collecting the natural electricity, by wires
on poles. and conveying it to limited piece
of ground, with powerful effect on the vege-
iation. What next?

The Wing party is, and should be a con-
sentative party. Notindeed a party to Soon
serve" old wills and prejudices, MOI merely
old laws, measures and form, but the GooD
ofthe past, the principles which our fathers
tested as the safety of republican institutions
the ideas on whicho our Government is based,
and which have given a spirit of law and or
der, as well as liberty, to our nation. 1t is
not, and it shoald not be, a party 10 retro
gade or stand stationary, seeking no change
in this age of Improvement; but a party TO
oppose too frequent and too radical changes,
TO place a check upon those who would sub
vert every thing that is of the past, disregard
experience, and build upon theory a fabric
that would prove our ruin.

FROM TEXAS.

The New Orleans Tropic ofthe 18th inst,
says-"By the sloop Gutter, three days from
Galveston, we learn that President Jones
had issued a proclamation annulling the ne
gotiation of Gen. DUFF Green as American
Consul at Cohesion! The President we
understand, states that the honor and inter-
est of the nation imperatiyely demands such
a course.
"The cause of the flare up between Pres
ident Jones and Gen. Duff Green originated
in a most i~nsolent attempt on the part of G.
to dictate to the President. The latter gent
ly iDsinuated that when he desired Gen.
Green's advice he would solicit it. This
answer, it seems, raised Green's dander,
whereupon il is said he had the indelicacy
and want of good sense to threaten the Exc.
%cutive, and minated that he would make
the Executive office a very unpleasant rest
ing place for his Excellency the President
Such conduct could lead to but one re
suit. The President very properly or
dered Green from his presence, and cutshor
his official functions. This lisa pretty piece o
bungling, and altogether worthy the misera
BILE administration which now governs thu
country. Shannon and Green! Par nobil
fratrum!

CONGRESS.--The Annexation subject
still occupies the attention of Congress, and
all other business is, for the present suspen-
ded. An attempt was made on the 18th
by MIR Cave johnson to have a resolution
adopted for ending the debate in Committee
o fthe Whole on this subject onthe 10Th inst.
The majority in opposition TO the resolution
or ratherin favor of laying it on the table,
was very large, which indicates that the dis
cussion will not end soon.

Or There were a very large number OF.
acts passed at the late session of our Legis-
lature, mostly of a local character, however.
Those that interest our readers we find COM
municated by our Senator. MIR. Lane, to the
editor of the Courier.-He Says
sThere has been no change in the Stay
law; and the Revenue law stands as it was
last year, with an addition of a few mills for
Deaf and Dumb and Lunatic Asylums, and
for the Education of the blind. We passed
a law c~ofning voters to their respective
Townships, which | regard as one of the
most s~aIutary enactmenis of the session.
The following laws have also been passed:
An act repeating the five per cent forfeit, for
failing to pay taxes, as is provided by the
present law; an Act extending the time of
payment, to purchasers OF School lands and
borrowers of School funds, TO six years from
the passage thereof, an Act authorizing the
distribution of the various Trust funds among
the counties, to be loaned by the county Au-
ditors, instead of the State Auditor, as was
the requisition of the old law. The Bill of
the Senate authorizing the Bank TO make a
further issue of small bills, 10 the amount of
$500 900, and extending the term five years,
fell between the Hous es, on account of a
disagreement to amendments made in the
House.
Some bills, local to the county of Wander
burgh, were introduced by your Representa-
tive and passed; one of which is an Act. re-
pealing the law of last session, restricting the
Trustees of the town of Evansville, to a GER
tain amount of tax. Another passed the
House, authorizing the county Auditor, to
call a special term of the Board of Commits
%sioners whenever the public interest might
require it. This was so amended in the
Senate, as TO make IFS provisions general.
Some bills were also pas sed, changing the
names of individuals; one of which changed
The name of Cornelia Minerva Nevins, to
Cornelia Minerva Warner. An Act was
passed for the relief of Benoni Stinson and
G. w. Miller, authorizing the Treasurer of a
certain congressional township, TO pay the
full amount and judgement costs and interest
obtained against said Stinson and Miller, for
money by them borrowed as district trustees
of the School COMMISSIONS TO build a school
house in their district. Another was passed
for the relief of Linck and Bennett"

classes of buyers, at once, TO our advertising

The following is the plan submitted by
Mr.. Dromgoole, of Virginia, TO Congress for
the Annexation of Texas. Whittier il will
fare better than the others heretofore SUBJ
mitted, we cannot tell.
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives. of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, and it Is
hereby enacted and declared, That the Com
gress doth consent that a new State may be
erected within the Jurisdiction Of the repub-
lie of Texas, adjoining the States of Leuisi-
ana and Arkansas, and bounded also by the
Gulf of Mexico, with a republican form of
government, TO be adopted by the inhabitants
of said republic, assembled by deputies in
convention, with the consent OF the existing
government, in order that the said new State
may be admitted into this Union.
And further be 1t enacted and declared,
That the foregoing consent of the Congress
is given upon the following conditions, to-
wit: that the new State shall be formed, and
its government adopted prior to the fourth
day OF July, in the present year; and that
the boundaries of the said new State, con-
forming to the outlines before stated, and
containing an area not exceeding -
thousand square miles, shall be defined by
the convention of deputies, and inserted in
the constitution or form of government; and
that the assent of the State shall be also in
serted to such boundaries of the remaining
territory. properly pertaining to Texas, and
to be claimed and held by said new State
on superceding the present government, as
may be settled and defined by the govern
ment ofthe United States, by negotiation and
treaty, or otherwise.
And be 1T further enacted and declared,
That, on the aforesaid fourth day of July, in
the present year, the said new State, having
been thus formed and defined, by the name
and style of the State of Texas, shall be re-
ceiyed and admitted into this Union as a
new and entire member of the United States
of America.

THE BUzzARD RoosT.--Mr. BEN

TON in his speech in Missouri said:--
The city of Washington was a buzzard
roost! the Presidential mansion and Depart
ment of State were buzzard roosts! defled
and polluted by the foul and yoracious birds,
in the shape of land spectators and stock
iobbers, who saw their prey in the treaty, and
spared no effort TO secure it. Their W
work was to support the treaty and ffiends-
to assail IFS opp%onents--to abuse the Sena-
tors who were against it TO Willy them, and
lie upon them in speech and in writing-and
TO establish a committee, still sitting at
Washington, TO promote and protect their in
terest. The treaty assumed ten millions of
debt and confirmed all the land claims under
the laws of Texas. The treaty correspon-
dencc claimed two hundred millions of acres
of land in Texas, of which two-thirds were
represented as vacant and claimed as fund
out of which the debt assumed was TO be
paid. Vain and impotent de ceptioni Open
and fraudulent attempt TO assume a bu bic
debt Cor the benefit of STOCKHOLDERS without
any adequate consideration either to Texas
or the United States"

GrA pretty extensive theft was perpe-
trated at ST. Louis a few days since, by one
Smith-not the everlasting John, as we are
glad TO learn-but a chap calling himself
Charles Smith. He was brought before the
Recorder of that city charged with stealing
household furniture, a horse and a rife, all
the property of a German named Pfnop.-
On Pfnop's returning home one day he found
his house deserted, his horse and wife gone
at the same time he missed Smith, whom he
had hired to take care of things whilst be
was absent. Finding the course his proper
iy had taken, he Immediately posted back TO
the city, and was not long in finding all that
belonged to him, with the exception of the
horse, safely and snugly deposited on the
deck of the Little Pike, which was then a.
bout to leave for New Orleans. He went
on board and attempted to expostulate with
the fair one, but she would come to nc
terms; he then tried Smith, but found him
incorrigible; his next and only sure mode
getting his grievances redressed was TO ap
ply for a warrant, which the officer had bare
ly time TO seve upon the person of Smith be
fore the boat showed out from the wharf, car
ing With Pfnop's furniture and wife. TX
make sure of Smith they lodged him in the
calaboose. The horse had been converted
into cash, and by a process of law there il
but little doubt but Charles Smith will il
due time be converted into a penitentiar
convict for the hand he has had in the al
fair.

INAUGURAL BALLs.-There are to be two
Inaugural Balls at Washington City, one at
$40 per head for the c%IiValry and the aris-
tocracy of the democracy, and the other at
S. per head for the undercrust of the dem
~ocracy-those who pride themselves as be-
ing the huge paws, the butt enders and the
Invincibles of the Empire Club. Thus the
democracy are already asserting themselves
into two classes. OF course they will be
left to exercise their own judgments and
will meet with no interruption from the
Wings.

The following imperial order from the
great Autocrat of the Democracy, comes
just in time to give the cue TO his followers
in Congress. MIR. Dromgoole's bill will now
pass the House:
HERMITAGE, January l, 1916.
My DEAR Mr.. BLAIR? cannot forbear,
on this first day of the year 1916, TO let you
know that ] am still in the land of the living,
although greatly afflicted and debilitated.-
My whole family join me in kind SITUATIONS,
to you and yours, wishing you the Joys of
the season. May you all live 10 see many
happy new years.
| observe that you have before Congress
too many joint resolutions for the re-annexa-
ton of Texas. This argues want of unani-
nifty in the democracy upon this great ma
tional and most important subject. | have
just received from Major Donelson, a letter
dated at Washington, in Texas. from which
| would infer, that if Congress expect 10 an
mex Texas 10 the United States, they must
act speedily, or ii will be found TO be beyond
our grasp. The rejection of the advances
of Texas has given offence to some, and a
handle TO others to press the liberal propo-
sitions of England upon the Texans, TO-
gether with the splendid view OF Texas in
dependent, growing into a vast Republic, in
time 10 embrace not only the limits of Tex
as, but all The domain once Montezuma's.-
This view, 10 ambitious aspirants, added to
the guarantees of England Of her indepen-
dence, and the loan of large sums for Ten
years, based upon a treaty that English man
ufactures shall be free of duty, is gaining a
party in Texas. General Houston is still
the leading star; and bis influence can a.
lone be counted upon to resist the present
influence of England and its increasing
power. How long this influence Of Eng
land can be successfully withstood in Texas,
is becoming a very questionable matter. |
have taken a view of the whole ground, Civ
en- to all information its due weight, and |
say 10 you that, unless Congress acts upon
this subject promptly, Texas will be beyond
our grasp, and lost TO the United States for
ever, unless regained BY the sword. What
will be the situation of our country, with
British manufactures introduced duty free
into Texas? Comment is unnecessary.
| hazard nothing in saying that, if the
present Cong ess do moi act promptly upon
this subject, the next will not have the pow
err. The consent of Texas cannot then be
obtained Great Britain will have laid the
lions paw upon her, and bound her by trea-
ty.
lam exhausted; but, from Major Donel-
sons letter, and other sources oil Conformation,
the danger of losing Texas seemed SO immi-
nent, that, although feeble, | could not for
bear 10 say this muca TO you, that you might
communicate it to my friends. May God
bless you and yours.

DEBATE IN THE sENATE.-we re.

DEBATE IN THE SENATE.-We re-
fer our readers TO the first page ofour Jour
nal for the concluding portion of the debate
in the us senate on the bill granting lands
for the completion of the Wabash and Erie
Canal. The remarks Of Mr.. WHITE, partic-
ularly, will be read with interest. His con-
slant and earnest support of this measure
justly entitle him to the thanks of all his
constituents, batting a few disaffected, and
maybe, disappointed souls around vincen'
mes. The last Vincennes Gazette cantains
a column and a half of something, we hard
~ know what to call it, concerning our ca
nal and WHrrE's speech upon the Bill, but
it is evident that the writer had not seen that
gentleman's remarks when the article was
penned. We recommend that the Mex
time the editor makes a dash at any one, to
be sure he is right before he goes ahead.

Or We noticed last week that Messrs.
Ellsworth, Beard g. Co, had made a propo-
sition TO our Legislature, to finish the Wab-
ash and Erie Canal TO Terre-Haute. A
joint committee was appointed of both
Houses, TO examine the question.
The Conrier says there was nothing done
before the adjournment. Neither was there
any FINAL action on the bills brought forward
for changing the Tolls. Canal Scrip will
therefore, be receivable for Tolls, as here
tofore.

REVOLUTION IN MExIco

We should have given the interesting In
from Mexico in our last, but the
hurry in which we went TO press prevented
US. Santa Anna seems toIbe in a close corner.
1t is said that most of the principal towns
throughout the Republic, and a large pro-
portion of the people have joined the insur-
rection against him.
On the evening of the 9th and during the
whole of the 7th of December, says the New
Orleans Picayune: The greatest rejoicings
took place in the city of Mexico accompanied
by many acts which show the deep detesta-
ton in which Santa Anna was held. Anum-
Der of his portraits in the public places were
dragged throug the streets, torn in fragments,
and every lepero preserved a piece as a me-
mento of their oppressor's downfall.
The Revolution against Santa Anna ap-
pears 10 be general; yet we hear of little
bloodshed except at Jalapa, where a few
persons were killed. At Puebla the inhabi-
tants rose as with one voice, tumbled down
the statue of the obnoxious tyrant, and tore
his portrait into a thousand tatters.
The revolution at Vera Cruz broke out
on the 9th inst, and Notwithstanding this
may be considered as one of Santa Annals
strongholds, the popular feeling against hin
| aDDears tn have heen almost unanimouS-
Extract of a letter dated,
VERA CRUZ, Dec. IL IA.
AS far as l can learn no place holds on
for Santa Anna, Jalapa, Perote, Orizaha, ant
Cordovia, have pronounced against him
and the great mans fall appears to me inc
vitable. | do not see a loophole for him tc
creep out of, and shall be glad If am the
first TO give you this decisive news.
Santa Anna was at the last accounts a
Queretara, where he had yet about $500
men, the remainder of the large army tina
accompanied him thither having deserted
his sinking fortunes. Were this force com
posed of altogether trustworthy men, |
would seem almost impossible that he ha:
any chance to escape the enemies by whom
he is surrounded. 1t is asserted that the
new government offers him no terms shor
of his paying up the twelve millions of dol
lars of the public money he is charged witl
having uselessly squandered or appropriated
TO his own private purposes. This copdi
ton it scarcely be possible to execute; anc
in default ofcomplying with it, the depose'
tyrant is threatened with death.
