Thisunauthorized act will occasion some trouble
to our Government, to say nothinS of the expense
of dspatchng body of troops to the scene of the
outrage to suppress the transgressors. Important
neg citations with Mexico are now in progress,
undsr the auspices of Col. Gadsden, U. S. Minister
to that Republic. This lawless Eruption upon the
Mexican territory by body ofmen from the United
States, will embarrass the negotiation, to say the
least. The Government of this country may be
called upon, also, to make compensation for what
ever damage on public or private propriety, may
be committed by this lawless band. 1t is probably
that their object was obtain possession of some
rich mines which are reported to exist low down
oh the Peninsula, between the Gulf of California
and the ocean. The country itself is a mere sand
bauk, with scarcely any vegetasion whatever
Ii unchecked in their career, the next hews viii
be that those haue crossed the Gulf and seized
some of the Mexican towns ON the main land.

The Washington Union advocates the passage ola
law by Congress limiting the terms of all offices of
the United States except those in the army and Navy
1t gives many sound reasons for fixing specified time
for all officers to who appointed under pres
ent party custom by every administration. If
there were fixed time to serve, every man taking of
fee would understand he had to undergo the process
of re-eXamination and Te-appointment, and if new
administration should come in of different politics he
would make up his mind to be drafted from the list Of
appointments. The greatest embarrassment which
surrounds new President is the exercise of his ap-
pointing power. The executive prerogative in re-
gard to appointments is delicate trust and all Pres
idents dislike to exercise it. and only do to great
extent when they driven it by political camors.
Much of the violence of party warfare during Pres
dential canvass is caused by expectants OF cce ana
when the President is elected all these dsinteresed
patriots camor for reward until the President is orced
to turn out old officers enable him to put in new
The executive would be glad to be relieved Of
this disagreeable Duty and if the term were fixed Tor
short period, there would be fewer applicants ana
less excitement before an election.
These are only some of the reasons presented m
behalf of the proposed law. There are Others-Sucn
getting rid of superannuated officers inefficient Dd1
clever officers, and others who VIGOROUSLY negiecs
their duty but often kept in Office from motives "a

A Card.
l am sir, very respectfully,
D. c. GLENN, Attorney Gel

H. 7. Garnett having learned in Choctaw coun-
ty, in DC ober, 1885, that Col. Drane had and
was taking an active part in the election against
him, and had produced feeling unfavorable to
him Garnet, and under these impressions said
Garnett wrote the letter in question to Laurence;
and upon careful investigation OF the reports
that came to him in reference to the interference
of Col. Drane in the election, and the disclaimer
of Col. Drane that he had carried his opposition
to the extent ascrbed to him. said Garnett is now
satisfied that he was laboring under misappre-
hansion in regard to the true character of Col
Drane's opposition, and that he Col. Drane had
not carried his opposition to the extent that Gar
nett had been led to believe he had said Garnett
is willing to say, had he not abored under the er
roneous impression he did, he would not have
written the letter to Laurence, and hereby with
draws the offensive language used and charges
made in said letter. Col. Drane then withdraws
the offensive remarks towards Garnett, used by
him at Kilmichael, Bankston and Springfield, in
reference to the letter to Laurence
The undersigned, as mutual friends of Mai
Garnett and Col. Drane, have this day agreed t
the above as a final settlement of their difficulty

Editors MssissiPpian:
GENTLEMEN.--l have observed, since my
return home after the election, a card published
in the Flag Of ths Union, of the 4th inst over the
signature of Governor Foote. which had not before
come to my notice, through it seems to have been
previously published in other papers, attributing
to me a statemen which l did not make and con,
tradicting it by letter over the signature of Gen.
Cass, making apparently an issue fveracity be-
tween Gen Cass and myself though my name is
not refurried to in his letter. when in fact no such
issue exists.-The Statemen attributed to me is an
incorrect report ofmy remarks, honestly made. no
doubt, but mistakenly, By those who reported it,
as all are liable to mistake in attempting to report
accurately from memory what is said by public
speaker in debate. This card may have had its
influence in the election. The result, however,
has disarmed me of resentment on that account,
and l only desire 70 correct an erroneous impress

New York Money Market.
Evening Post of Thursday says

The money market seems to grow easier by slow,
but steady PAGES. The banks seem opposed to ex-
nand and the discount brokers are more flush OF
money, vet the demands for discounts is consider
able enough to prevent any great decline in money
rates. We quote 10 per cent. as the prevalent
rate for the discount of prime grades and IL to
for second class paper. On this latter kind there
is decline in the rates, because high grades oil
paper are scarce in relation to the demand, and
capitalists to prefer good paper at 10, to
conceding lower rates of first class paper.
This is positive sign of the market working
downwards. A more confding feeling is growing
Foreign exchange is easy at II IA IS 12 1-2
for francs, and 100 "a for sterling, though some

Alabama Legislature, bill entitled can Act in
aid of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company"
the provisions of which are thus stated by the
Montgomery correspondent of the Mobile Tribune:
The bill authorizes the Commissioner and Trus-

PAINT YOUR HoUsEs.-Now is the time for
preparation, soon after the heat of summer is over,
saySin September and October, is the best time to
paint. One coat laid in Autumn is equal to two in
summer; the lead dries more evenly, and oil holds
it much longer than when spread in hot weather
Paint laid on in Fall weather is more lasting than
when put on in the Spring, because the substance
becomes hardened through the Winter without ex-
posure to the intense heat of July and August,
and is therefore, much less likely to suffer from
the effects of the ensuing Summer.
