which have brought my minG 10 this conclusion.
| In hrs answer 10 the editor of The Signal, Geneal

tension over The continent beyond The Rio Grande,
OF the ordnance OF 1884, is obi ct TOO high and
permanen. TO be baffl d by Presidential veoes;
which Gen Taylor inly endorses, as the above
| extract from his letter shows. In another letter
| Gen Taylof says, "The personal opinions Of the
individual VINO may happen 10 occupy The ENecu-
tive chair ougn; n0t 10 control the action OF Cor
sTess upon questions OF domestic policy
Aeain-here is a letter now going The fnuads
a, the North. recently received from Gen. Taylor

and has, | understand, especial reference 70 he

But, apst from this al-absorblng subject. Gen.
