The Difference.
JANUARY 10Th, 1913.

When we have complained Of the gross unfairness
and injustice dsph yed towards volunteers, in the
official report of Gen. Taylor, of the battle of Buena
VISTA his apoogists have defended him the ground
that he made that report in accordance with the facts
as then represented and that it would appear undig-
nifed for a commanding officer 10 correct official
report thus made, especially when the Courts of En-
quiry subsequently held showed that he in error
and applied the correction. To us these apologies
satisfactory though they to be so to Gen.
Taylor and his admirers. Upon the very same
grounds and reasons, ace should infer the greater
cessity and propriety of retracion, his part, of
the errors and wrongs which were endorsed by him.
Gen. Scott, it appears, entertans very different
tons from Gen. Taylor and his friends, upon matters
of this nature He has pretty comfortable opinion
of himself, and is not backward in asserting the pre-
negatives appertainng to his station Yet he does not
hesitate to correct official which he accideny
has committed. The following, from a late number
of the w. Union is evidence of this fact, and is in
strong contrast with the disreputable of Gen.
Taylor:
supplemental Report Of General Scott.
The following letter from Major General Scott to
the Secretary of War; specifying some corrections to
be made in of his official, reports, has been hand
ed to US for publication:

Life Of Santa Anna.

The Troy Daily Wing gives brief sketch Of the
Life of this cruel and cunning Mexican, the strange
vlcssudes of which, and especially the circumstance
that while in Exile, he was sent by the American
President to command the Mexican Army, renders
him parsonage of more than ordinary interest.
Of his birth and parentage nothing is said. In
1871 he distinguished himself Colonel, in driv-
ing the old Spanard from Vera Cruz, for which he
was rewarded, by the Emperor ITURBIDE, with the
Government of that City. But in 1872, having quar-
relied with lTURBrDE, he engaged with Gen. VIcro-
RIA, in revolution which overthrow the Emperor
and re-esiablished the Republic. In 1924 he revoted
against the new Government, and proclaimed himself
Protector" But in this movement he was beaten,
taken and sentenced to five years of secuson upon
his estate a. Xalapa. In 1923 he headed conspra-
cy to depose President PEDRAzA, which proved sue
cessful, and GUERRERO, who reached the Presidency,
made SANTA ANNA his Secretary Of State and Com
mander-n-Chef. In 1929 SANTA ANNA defeated and
captured Gen. BARRADoN, who was the last Spanish
invader of Mexico.
In 1881, President GUERRERO, whom SANTA ANNA
had raised 10 that station, was, by the hand,
deposed, and snot as a Traitor. BUsTAMENTE was
next elevated to the Presidency for a brief period
only, and then PEDRAzA was brought back from exile
and re-instated in power; but in 1888 SANTA ANNA
was himself chosen President.
And now the first attempt to put down the Revolu-
ton in Texas was made. His conduct was marked
by ferocity aud ruffiansm at the Alamo and other
points where he gained advantages, until he was beat
en- and captured by the Texans at San Jacinto.
The Texian Government, however, soon released
their Prisoner, and in 1885 be took the field again,
and lost leg in defending Vera Cruz against the
French.
In 1910. Gen. BUsTAMENTE was again expelled,
and SANTA ANNA became, in name and in fact, Die
tator of Mexico. On this occasion his amputated
Leg was deposited, with "all the honors," in the
Church of San Pablo, though was, in 1874, exhum
ed and dragged through the Streets of the City of
Mexico.
In 1874, Paroles succeeded not only in deposing
the Dictator, but in driving him out of Mexico
SANTA ANNA, with his "booty," which was said to
be enormous took up his residence in Cuba, where
he remained until Mexico became involved in war
with America when, for reasons that remain 10 be er.
planned President Polk induced him to return and

A Question.

Are the officers of the law generally Efficient and
do they perform the duties which they sworn to
do If not, then should the people elect others in
their places who will. But if they efficient and
perform their duties according to the law and their
oaths, there can certainly be propreiy In the Pr-
vate citizens of village forming committees of vigil
lance to prosecute every suspected Ut unrghteous
ness
These thoughts occurred to us in witnessing the
conduct of such committee selfesablished at Indi-
annapolis, who were engaged in ferretng out all sup
posed Offences and prying into houses suspected Of
unrghteousness and getting up prosecutions aud pur-
suing them with vengeance better suited to the IN
mates of another region, than the theatre OF clvIl-
cation.
A similar committee organized believe,
when the Legislature met last winter, and they and
the town council received rebuke from that
body. This winter, in due time, another committee
was formed for the similar purpose, we suppose, Of
complimenting the Legislature and strangers visiting
the city The Legislature we doubt not, will, when
it meets ngain. reciprocate the compliment thus gra.
ciously conferred upon them, by rebuke more scath
ing than that of last winter.
While always ready to raise our voice and
direct what little influence have against immoral
ity of every kind, equally deprecate that mob In
qusitoral spirit that eliminates itself in order TO pre-
vent others from doing what it deems criminal. The
star Chamber of Indianapolis appears too in the
light of inquistion be respected for its efforts in
its highly audabie undertaking, and it would not be
tolerated in any other town in misunderstanding

Low PosTAeE.-The Post Master General, if we
understand him, recommends the continuance Of the
cheap postage in fact, while he proposes measures
calculated to raise the rates, by indirect means He
first proposes to charge double postage on letters
weighing one-third of ounce instead of one-haf an
ounce as heretofore Secondly, where the postage is
not prepaid he would double the charge. Thirdly,
he would have the postage all newspapers prepaid.
The simplest and the surcst way of carrying out
the cheap postage pan is to require all postage to be
paid-to leave the rates where they are-to abol
ish altogether the franking privilege, humbug and
corruptng it is-and only TO charge postage on
newspapers when carried more than 90 or 100 miles
from the place Of publication.-Cin. Enquirer.

ALBERT GALLATIN u.s. HENRY CLAY-The New
York True Sun, few days ago, quoted the following
assertion from Henry Clay's speech. and proved by
reference TO dates ond facts Its untfuth:
'Whst Mr. Slide was bending his way to Mex
ico with his diplomatic credentials, Gen. Taylor was
ordered to transport his cannon and plant item in
warlike attitude opposite to BIatamoras on the east
bank of the Rio Bravo, within the very disputed ter
ritory the adjustment Of which was to be the object
of Mr.. Slidels mission"
For this the Tribune took the True Sun severely to
account, and pronounced him "liar." Albert Gal
latin has just written letter the subject of the
war, which is sufficiently whiggsb in its character;
the True Sun has, however, arrayed him against MIR.
Clay on this point Of veracty, and. after quoting Mr.
Galatin's detail of facts, says conclusively:
snow here Mr.. Gallatin shows that the order for
Gen. Taylor's advance not given at Washington
till hirty-eigh days after Mr.. Sdels arrival in
Mexico, instead Of whilst he was bending his way
thiher, according to MIR. Clay; and tosnty-too days
after MIR. Sliders rejection. Can more plain down.
right and conclusive refuuton Of the false fact as
sumed by Mr. Clay as the grand basis Of his speech
he conceived, than is given it by Mr.. Gallatin. who
fully confirms all that the Tribune so refnedIy de-
nounced US as liars and slanderers of Mr. Clay for
asserting! We ssk the Tribune again-Is Albert
Gaiiatin, too, a liar and 'slanderer!'"

TAYLOR MEETING IN WAsHINGToN.-The public
meeting of the Members Of Congress- and citizens OF
Washington, friendly to the election of General Tay-
Tor to the Presidency held on the 10Th ull, did not
amount 10 much. There great diversity Of opin-
ion among its members; some declaring the move
ment premature, others averring that premature or
not General Taylor was the that could be elect
ed, and the only that could be elected. Several
propositions were made. all Of which were gotten rid
of summarily by successful motion to adjourn, made
by Mr.. Gentry, Wing, M c., from Tennessee, who
pronounced himself 10 be for General Taylor, with a
convention or without a convention, with caucus
or without caucus,-now and always.

IDoLIzING TRUTH.-Mr. Clay in his late speech,
says, that General Taylor ordered his cannon oppo-

his way to Mexico with his credentials
The "truth" is, General Taylor was not ordered
from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande, 'tll it
known to the Administration that the Mexican Gov
eminent had refused to receive Mr. Slidel
Mr.. Clay asserts that General Taylor's "good
sense prompted him to believe, in the beginning of
the year 1885, that army ought to remain at Cor
pus Christi.
The "truth' is, General Taylor ADVISED the for
ward movement of our army to the Rio Grande.
Me- Clay asserts that the war of 1912 was one
"purely of defence
The 'truth' is, the inudsion of Canada, was the
first act of our country in that war!
Mr. Clay asserts that the justice ofthe war of 1872
admitted by the Federal party.
The truth is directly the reverse, so far as we can
Judge from the recorded opinions and acts OF the
leaders of that party in Massachusetts, and elsewhere!
The foregoing statements in the speech of Mr..
Clay are truly remarkable, considering that he almost
