The late coup d'etat Of The
american Secretary Of State.
We understand there is
good reason to believe that
persons in New York and in
this city have been endeav-
oring to thwart important
measures of the government
bearing upon its relations
with Mexico, and especially
the Tehuantepec treaty, by
corresponding with persons
of supposed influence or in
high office in that country.
Whatever may be the other
motives of those persons in
adopting such a course, it
cannot reasonably be ascribed
to u sense of patriotic duty,
especially when they must
be presumed to be aware that
they are guilty of the penal
offence denounced in the law
of the United States which
we subjoin
AN ACT for the punishment
of certain crimes therein
specified.
Be IL enacted by tie Senate
and House Of Representatives

RIGA in Congress assembled,

if any person, being a citizen
Of or resident within the Uni
ted States, and not duly au-
thorized, shall counsel, adj

as aforesaid, he or they shall

in future may attempt it will be considered as

That the Mexican government should be under
the necessity of resorting to this extraordinary
method of giving publicity to its laws, in order
to prevent violations of its tariff regulations, is
a remarkable fact, which has led your memorial
lists to look into and collect history of the
events which have made such proceeding
necessary.

this subject (page 81 formal complaint Of the
abuse, by the Tehuantepec Company, of the
special permits granted by the Mexican govern

Of their surveying and exploring party; and that
their steamer, the Alabama, had landed 1873
packages of merchandise, in violation Of the

say, that even in Virginia--aye, possibly in this
goodly city-scores of damsels may be found
who are not wholly Indifferent to the desire ex-
pressed by Miss Christiana Coon. Observe: we
do not make the assertion as a fact within our
own knowledge; we only indulge a surmise
about the matter. But, like others of our sex,
we are wandering away from Miss Christana
Coon, with whom, and the Mississippi House of
Representatives, we are now engrossed. Miss
Christiana, as we before remarked, having be-

lucky fellow to propose-and being, moreover,
heartily disguised with her unfortunate patrony-

not the most euphoneous name in the calendar

passage, one of the members from county with
an unpronounceable Indian name rose in his
place and asked if any member in that House
rejoiced in the name of Mckenzie i? There
being no member by that name, the House most
ungallantly and most unjustly declared itself
''not the proper tribunal" and, adding insult to
injury, recommended Miss Christiana to change

TAXES AND INTERNAL IMPROVE

In the House of Delegates on Friday the Goth
inst, Mr.. Robinson of Richmond City, submit
ted to the House the following resolutions,
which on his motion were laid on the table and
ordered to be printed for the use of the men,
bers. In the report in the Times of the Legis-
lative proceedings, they We're accidentally
omitted.
''Resolved as follows:
l. That the provision in the 10th clause of
the 4th article of the Constitution of Virginia
that 'no law shall embrace more than one OBJ
ject," shouldnot be violated directly or indirect
ly; and the members of this house should not
be required to vote for or against resolution
embracing many objects of Internal Improve
ment and appropriating money for each; since
this would be but means of evading the Con-
stitution, and would be at war with the spirit
and the object OF the provision just referred to.
2. That the provision in the goth section of
the 4th article of the Constitution that 'sthere
shall be set apart annually, from the accruing
revenue, sum equal to seven per cent. of the
State debt existing on the first day of January
in the year 1892 and that ''the fund thus set
apart shall be called the Sinking Fund.- and shall
be applied to the payment of the interest of the
State debt and the principal of such part as may
be redeemable," should be faithfully observed
andthe house should, as soon as may be,pass bills
to raise revenue sufficient to pay the annual
expenses of the government, and set apart this
sinking fund.
3. That after the house shall have passed
these revenue bills and such other bills as the
Constitution requires to put in operation the new
form of government, it should then take up in
due order the bills authorizing further debts to
be contracted for works of Internal Improve
ment, and should pass upon each of said bills
separately on its own merits.''

GEN. ScoTT AND Mr.. CLAY.-A letter
from the Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American, after stating that
the Hon. w. S. Archer, Of Virg ina, is now So
journing in Washington, says:
''The opinion has prevailed very extensively
that the nomination of Mr.. Clay, as the candi-
date of the Wing party, was prevented at the
Harrisburg convention, in 1889, by the agency
of Gen. Scott. Now, / have the authority OF
Mr.. Archer, than which none can be more UNI
doubted, for saying that he, as one of the Dele
gates to the Harrisburg Convention, held in his
possession Il letter from Gen. Scott, authorizing
him, whenever it should become apparent, in
his opinion and that of other friends that the III
terest OF the Wing cause would be best promot-
ed by concentration on Mr.. Clay, to Withdraw
his (Gen Scott's) name ureservedly, and 10
unite cordially upon the sage of Ashland And
am also informed that a member of the New
York delegation had letter of the same pur
port.

D 9t1 paper, that our fellow citizen, George
w. hlchardson formerly of the firm of J. l..
hlcharason, q Bro, was so sadly beaten with
a cf'n on tuesday last, about o'clock, by man
named Baily, as seriously as to endanSer his
life. ''''
On Tuesday morning Baiy, who is a consta-
bic OF Preston county, Va, came to the work
and attempted to levy on and take away GER
tain tools belonging to the blacksmith of the
section. Some words passed between Baily and
three men who were on the ground, when the
latter assaulted the former and beat him seriously
vi these circumstances Mr.. Richardson was not
aware at the time. However, on the same
day. (lhTsday,) a number of men came upon
the work from the tunnel, accompanied by a
SO son OF Bally, who is clerk for Mr.. Harper at
tunnel Hill. These men advanced to where
Mr. Richardson was, and seizedhim by the COL
lar, Whefeupon the younger Baily raised huge
ciio ana struck him on the temple, telling him
to the ground. They then placed him on a
horse and forced him to ride one mile to the
tunnel as prisoner. Upon examination il
was found that the skull was fractured so Sc
rously as to leave but little hope of recovery.
The Maine Liquor Law was reported to the
New Jersey Legislature on Wednesday. The

proval. Liquor may be manufactured under it,
but not for sale, and it can only be sold by per-
sons appointed for the purpose, for medical and

$50 tor the first, and $40 for every subsequent
offence. Manufacturers are fined $1OO for the
