TRADE OF CORPUS CHRIsTI.-The prospect of
the Mexican trade for the present appears to be
more iavotable- than we have noticed for some
time past In the last week we have had arrivals
from various parts of Mexico, several of con
siderable note. F, Belden d Co., (Gipin,) one of
the Oldest and most experienced Mexican trading
houses at This place, have received large lot Of
hides from Guerrero. A train of wagons arrived
about the same time from Laredo, loaded with
hides, consigned to Mr.. Wassman. Both trains
are now loading with goods, and will leave i'm.
mediately for the above places. We attribute this
encouraging change in our commercial affairs to
the arrival among us Of two companies of Rangers,
which are now stationed in this vicinity. As soon
asthe intelligence reached Mexico that there were
forces between Nueees and Rio Grande sufficient
to keep back The Indians, the old traders, who
formerly visited Corpus Christi, believing that they
could purchase goods to an advantage at this place,
Immediately set about making preparations for that
purpose. We are informed that several other par
ties are expected in few days. Should the pro-
lection become permanent on our frontier, and
peace once more established with the Indians,
land we have no reason to doubt it, business viii
become more thriving, and will continue to in
crease as the country improves Star, oct, a.

SANTA FE County,, Texas. - The people Of
Texas are worried by the strange conduct Of one
Of the counties inthe State-Santa Fe. Santa Fe,
though large and pOpulpus county, sent in no re-
turns at the Presidential electionof 1913. Norwas
Santa re more tTaetable in the last election Of
Governor for the State Of Texas. Report says that
in the Gdbsrnatorial election they not only failed
10 send in their returns, but that they actually
failed 10 vote. What Bort Of people must they be
in Santa re county, Texas, when they thus fail to
exercise the best and dearest rights Of the freeman
The sovereign State Of Texas should ask the su-
preme Court Of the United States for a rule on
Santa Fe county to show cause why she does not
attend TO her duties and wore when Texas votes.

RETIREMENT OIL VETERAN EDrToR.-Ch
King, long distinguished in times past, as the edi-
tor of the New York American--in its day very
able and influential paper-and recently one of the
editors of the Courier and Enquirer, retires from all
connection with the newspaper press, ia a grace
full valedictory, published in the Courier and En-
quirer of the 3Oth,uIt. Mr., King has been all his
lifetime a most conspicuous citizen, and a much
esteemed gentleman. He belongs to family of
eminent public men. His father, Rufus King, was
at one time the head Of the Federal party in the
United Statss and by character, abilities patriot
ism, and lofty dignity of department under all cir
| cumstances, was a champion to be proud Of He
was their candidate for Vice President in 1904 and
1908, and for President in 1916, For his eminent
and enthusiastic support Of the aOdr, in which,
much to the ciagrin Of someo Of his party, he ten
dered his support to Mr.. Madison, and risked his
private fortune to aid Gov. Tompkins, of New
York, to raise funds for the Government, he was
taken up by the republicans of New York and sent
to the United States Senate. One of his sons is
now a Representative in Congress from New Jer
sey; and another, from the Queens county district,
in New York. And grandson-the son of Mr..
Charles Kings the leader of the wing party in
WISCONSIN, All these gentlemen are good writers,
and have contributed largely to the press, =

:" A rumor has gained very general circulation
to-day, to the effect that Mr., Meredith has ex-
pressed determination TO retire from the Treasury
Department and to again resume the active pursuits
of his profession. After dilgent inquiry on my
part, have been unable to trace this report to-
anything like reliable authority, though am free

astonish me. The reasons for such supposition it
is needless 10 assign atthis time. -sssz

most likely 10 be the three from among whom the
choice would be made. Butto me itappears far more
probable thar in the happening of the contingency
to which have alluded, Walter Forward would
be more apt TO be Mr.. sMeredith's successor than
either of those have named" u
The correspondent Of the Charleston Courier
writes on the same subject, October 3lst;

Of the Cabinet The New YeTk Tribune remarks,
significantly, in reference to the dissatisfaction of
the wings, that, TO say that Gen. Taylor does not
know when he is observed, or dare not apply the
obvious remedy, is to charge him with gross inca
pacity and pusianimity,' But the truth is, it is
we'll known here, that Gen. Taylor is obstinate in
his partiaities, and that he will not listen to any
representations against any one Of his Cabinet, or
that he will request them to 60 out as a unit or
otherwise. The Tribune must, therefore, CON
denim him for not knowing when he is observed.
