MIR. Clemens's resolution, instructinG the
military committee TO enquire into the expe-
diency Of comforting the trust of Lieutenant
General on Maj. Geu. Scott, in consideration
of his services IN Mexico, was taken up and
adopted.

of Texas was taken up

Mr.. Turney offered TO amend so as 10 di

egale in Congress, but no Senators.
A message was received from the Presi-
dent relalije to The boundary Of Texas. and
the difficulty in New Mexico. The Presi-
dent alluded to Gov. Bells letter to the Tex
ian memhcrs OF Congress, Published in the
Bulletin of Friday, and says that portion OF
the territory east OF the RIO Grande has been
regarded us belonging to New Mexico. He
thinks the eXgency which has arrived in the
affairs OF Texas aud New Mexico may re-
quirc an extra session OF Congress.
He aludcs to lis official position and is
duty rs President TO enforce the laws of the
United States. and thinks this case in which
he is authorised to call the military into ser
vice, as well as 10 employ the force Of the reg
ular army AID navy. Texas, as il State. can
employ military force 10 suppress her own i'll
ternal insurrectiors; but her power is local
and she has 10 authority which can conflict
with the United States. In this she is an IN
| trudcr, and she will be treated as such.
The President takes decided ground that
the territory in dispute: east OF the Rio
Grande, belongs to New Mexico, aud for that
reason he must protect 1t from invasion by
Texas or any other State. He believes the
| treaty with Mexico extends the laws OF the
United States over the territory east of the
Rio Grande. The treaty does lot determine
explicitly what is the boundary OF Texas bu

A Severe Storm.

The storm of Saturday afternoon, was
one of the severest, no doubt which has visi-
ted our city for number of years. A North
ern wind blew violently for full an hour
tearing the wharf boats from their moorngs
and driving them in confused manner along
the wharf. The wharf-boat of Mr.. Wood,
with the steamer Hermann, was driven out
into the river, but, so soon as the wind abated,
was brought back to the landing. The 9TH
er wharf-boats were secured to the shore
during the storm. The steamers Kentucky
and Julia which were lying at the lower ex-
tremity of the wharf, in company with a
number of fat-boats which were fastened to
them, were blown loose and hurried consid.
cradle distance up the river. The steamer
Richland broke loose from the Kentucky
shore, and crossing the river was grounded or
a bar. Her chimnies were blown down and a
small portion of them, we understand, rolled
into the river. We have heard of no heavy
losses, although, from the violence of the
storm, we were led to believe the destruction
of property would be immense.

named James Hooker, killed another boy /
or IL years old, whose name we could not
learn, in Morgan Township, on Thursday
last; by shooting him with a spiked and
barbed arrow. which entered his skull imme-
diateIy above the ball of one of his eyes, TO
the depth of two or three inches. The poor
little fellow lived until the next day in the
greatest agony, when death put an end to
his suherings. The arrow had to be cut out
with razor, the barbs preventing its being
drawn out until the surrounding flesh was
cut. The boy Hooker. we understand, says
he shot him accidentally, bgt tells different
stories. He is now in Jail in this place.

CINCINNATI DIsPATcH.-We have neg

friend, the Cincinnati Dispatch. 1t has drop
ped its neutrality, and now under the control
of its former editor, Ned Campbell. and DR..
Alexander Duncan, leads one wing of Ham
ilton county Democracy. 1t is called ''The
Cincinnati Dispatch and Democratic Union"
We are sorry to notice this change, because
we know Ned would after one or two years
longer struggle have had moneymaking
paper in the Dispatch, and now we have no
faith in it. Again, we don't suppose he could
be knocked or coaxed into writing against
Whiggery, and he will never be the Ned
Campbell as rds in his present position
We know nothing of DR.. Duncan now-he
may have relormed-but in 1910, Ned knows
as well as we do, he was the greatest dem
agogue and blackguard in Hamilton county
and that is giving him the advantage OF the
whole State. Put we do the Doctor the JUS
tice to say, that his paper row does not car.

Hutchinson had only beat him eight votes,

challenged the doctor to run the race over,
and offered to give him one hundred votes
but DR.. II. knew he would get licked, and
declined in wardly manner. As it was a

peciing he would certainly receive fair play
there, and have his challenge published

mediately smothered by the committee. the

it has once more fallen into the traces and

How our cotemporary came by such SUI
perfluity of wisdom, takes US. 1t not only

to be the mouth piece of the Wing Party
1t says we do not utter the sentiments OF tie
Wings, of this city and county-and this in
speaking Of our article headed "A Plain
Talk" and addressed TO the Wings. The
writer means by this to say that the Wings
of this city and county are opposed to all
party organization among themselves
Now, on the contrary, we have fully discus
sed the matter with prominent Wings,
and there is not one Of them but upholds
our views. The Republican would very
ular. While it is urging organization on its
own party in the strongest manner, it coolly'
turns around and says we do not utter the
sentiment OF the Wing party in saying the
same thing. 1t fears what we shall endeav
or at the proper time to prove, that the Wing
party of Vanderburgh county, under good
organization, can defeat the Democratic par
ty. Now will the editors of the Republican,
or the outside gentleman whose talent oc-
casionally fathers such paragraph as the
above, tell US and the public, who that COM
mittee is so powerful in smothering our ''hon-
est wishes" They have more than once
alluded to some Committee or clique, as the
noulder of our opinions, and the controller OF
our thoughts and actions. Certainly the
readers of the Republican should have some
little curiosity to know the names of this mys.
terious and illustrious band; and particular
ly do zoe feel desire to know what man oil
set of men dare dictate TO us in the smalles
matter affecting our private or public course

come our adviser if he so choose, but we
scorn any thing like dctation, and the MAI
who will allow himself to be placed in a pc
