Letters 10 the New York Herald, state that
Venezuela is again Ia trouble. Colonel Juan
Garces, an influential leader in the province
OF Coro, became suspected, and some of his
correspondence was intercepted, from which
appears that he was participator in a
projected revolution against the present
Mcasgas government This Garces was for
meriy a supporter of the late President Jose
T. Mcuagss, and fought against General
Paex when he landed al Coro in 1Si9. The
government have not, however, ventured to
attest him, on account of his well known
Influence in Coro, but have sent a Colonel
Zamora, with some troops, to watch his
movements.
President, Jose Gregorio Monagas has been
clothed, by the council of government, with
extraordinary or dictatorial powers and
several important personages have been ar

Among them is General Justo Brceno, who

the bar of Maracaibo. Commandant Juan
Jose Has, who was chief of the staff Of the

be present. The chairman, in giving the
toast TO Archbishop Hughes alluded in
glowing terms to the United States and his
announcement that the United States were
a freer and happier country than England,
was received with tremendous applause
The Archbishop made an eloquent speech
in reply, in which he alluded 10 his Irish
birth, and the honors conferred on him since
his emigration 10 America. Among the
toasts was the following - -"The United

ALLEGED LARGE FRAUD ON THE GOVERN
MENT.-The New York Tribune and the
Herald both state that fraud has been per-
petrated on the Government, in conneyion
with one of the Mexican claims, amounting
10 half a million of dollars. The party
owning the claim, it is stated, sold out for
one hundred thousand dollars to capitalists
in Washington City and New York. The
whole evidence by which he obtained this
immense sum, he is stated, the Tribune
say to have confessed, was false, and the
Government is now in possession of the in
formation which will probably lead to the
arrest Of the guilty party, who is about TO
leave the country for Europe. This is a fine
business, and no, very creditable 10 the sa-

LATER FROM TEXas.

The steamship Pampero, Capt. Weiis,
which arrived yesterday evening at Gaives-
ton, brought $4,000 10 specie on freight
The steamship Fanny, Capt Foc,e, from the
Brazos, hrought s5l 500 25 in specie.
Onr dates from Galveston by the Pampero
are TO the 18th, aud FROM Brownsville, by
the Fanny, TO the 4th inst.
In relation TO the crops, ihe Galveston
Civilian says: 1911.
The crops, we are sorry 10 perceive, nave
been suffering ia some OF the interior coun-
tries for wan, of rain. The papers al Wash
ipcton. on the Brzos, and La Grange, on
the Colorado, complain OF the dry weather,
and say that unless rain comes soon the
weld both of corn and cotton will be short.
A slight rain visited this city yesterday
morning, and, from appearance, it is proba-
Bile that it extended 10 a good portion Of the
interior The Victoria Advocates states
that the web worms have made their ap-
pearance on Dr.. Cookies plantation in that
vicinity, and seriously damaged his cotton
crop. We have not learned that they are
doing any material damage on any other
plantations.
The same paper informs us that NcDon-
aid, charged with stealing several thousand
dollars from Mr.. Tate, at San Antouia, has
been made TO convict himself of the theft
and disgorge the money, by stratagem-
rather a delicate one-of the sheriff II
was agreed between the sheriff and the
prisoner that the sheriff should receive Que
thousand dollars Of the stolen money, as a
consideration FOR aiding the thief 10 escape,
The prisoner was to retain the remainder,
and the sheriff was 10 provide him with
feet horse and arms he was released from
the jail and proceeded 10 The place of depo-
sit, in company with the sheriff, and the
money was dsinterred, The thief was then
re-arrested, and nless he finds some other
means of escape, will doubtless go to the
peniteniary for mis- pains. The Western
Texan doubts the propriety of the sheTifts
course in the matter,
We learn from the Rio Grande Sentinel
that two carpenters, one named Wolf, were
murdered at Rio Grande City, on the night
of the 25th ult,, by blows inflicted on the
head with hammer, while sleeping in a
small house rented by them. No traces oI

JUDGE LEWIS.

The Daily News contains an article re-
flecting upon the legal reputation of the
Hon. Ellis Lewis, and in support of its as
sertions quotes an extract from single
opinion which was reversed by the Su-
preme Court. The we'll known and ack-
Rnowiedged legal learning and judgment of
that eminent lawyer, require 40 champion
to defend them. We notice, the. assault
merely TO show with what unfairuess his
opponents are disposed to carry on their
opposition. An examination Of the books
OF Reports, will show that the great ma
jority of Judge Lewis decisions have been
athrmed by the Supteme Court, that fewer
OF them have been reversed than those of
any Judge who has occupied the bench
Tor similar time. The firmness, learning,
integrity and industry he rnanifested on all
occasions, during the humber of years he
presided in this judicial district, all classes
ia it remember and admire.

ientertains Northern feelings, Is natural for US to
apprehend Its alleged, even, that, like the notorious
