United States force on tho Rio Grandc has

the good results likely to be recorded in this
new chapter Of 9TH. history is a settlement OF
claims of citizens of the United States against
Mexico, to indemnity for outragcs and losses
suffered by them at the hands of Mexican
officials; also for losses incurred through the
fnithlcssness OF Mexico with respect to her
grants to parties in the United States with
whom she had entered into agreement for the
right of way and the construction of railroad
across tho lsthmus of Tch,antcpcc. Any
new treaty that may he negotiated between
the two countries will necessarily review all
these questions, and provoke decision of each,

The Election.


The returns are not yet complete. About
th'rty'livc counties remain to hear from, cast
ing nearly onc-thrd of the vote of the State.
AS far rs heard from Pcasc, Cor Governor, has
1922 votes; Ochiltrcc, 6,4ss; Wood, 5000 ;
Evans, 2,i95; Chambers, 1891 Dancy, 1902.
Pcasc is ahead of Ochiltrcc Q ,l3l votes, which
will be increased by the counties 20 hear from
and the official vote Tho Austin Gazette has
slip from the Flag Office at Brownsville,
which says that Pcasc, Dickson and Crosby
got an almost unanimous vote in Cameron and
llidalgo counties, and that Scurry had n ma
iority over both Lewis and Bell, of about 3OO.
This will add to Pcasc's vote ut least 900, and
leaves but little doubt of his election by a ma
Jority varying not far from 5000 votes.
For acknowledgements Hr. Dickson leads
his foremost opponent 3,75G votes. Add to
this his majority on the Rio Grandc, and his
election is an absolute certainty.
For Congress, Gov. Bell leads his foremost
opponent Maj. Scury, including his majority
on the Rio Grandc, upwards of 900 votes.
The vote of the counties now heard from
amounts TO 22,2as. The vote of the State will
probably reach $4,000. We shall publish q
table of the official returns as soon as they
come to hand.

from gentleman who recently visited the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington,
which has statement showing the tempera-
ture since 1898, that this is the warmest sum-

is somewhat strange, that the average heat
this summer, of Richmond and Lancaster

Tempest In EverybeAy's Teatst.
Our citizens were thrown into q general

which met in the evening. quite numsroosly

sub ject of "m.tters and shings in general
which were listened to with . good deal OF

loudly called for, and responded in one Of his
happy efforts, showing conclusively to the
audience that there existed no cause what
ever for further agitation of the subject.-

whole question in nutshell, which he crack.

DEATH By LIGHTNING. Miss Gilmour,
daughter of widow in this city, was killed
on Sunday, about o'clock in the evening,
by lightning in the village of Canterbury.
The circumstances of the case were quite
novel. She was standing under the tele-
graph.wires which crosses the lawn in front
Of Mrs. Cunningham's house, where she was
boarding. The wire hangs within some ten
feet of the ground; there was no rain at the
time though the storm was raging at a dis
lance; the liz htning, il is supposed, struck the
wire more than mile distant, followed its
course, shattering all the posts. some to splin-
tiers, aud portion of the current was divert
ed SO as to kill the deceased. The ravages
of the lightning on the posts were visible for
a long distance beyond the spot where the ia
tally occurred. Several persons were stun
ned md prostrated, but not seriously injured.
TbFstorm came up violently afterwards.

Mexican Affairs.

The Washington papers appear to agree
as to the propriety of the movement on the
part of this government, in concentrating a
considerable military force on the lower Rio
Grande. The presence of seven thousand
Mexican soldiers on the other side of the riv-
er, who made their appearance in avery hur.
ried and almost clandeetine manner, are facts
sufficient in themselves to justify our govern.
ment in concentrating military force there
not only to protect our territory from aggres'
sion from the mysterious army on the oppo.
site shore, but to restrain our own citizens
from committing further unlawful depreda'
tons, of which we have heard much com.
plant from the Mexican government.
Perhaps our officials are hasty in attribut
ing to Santa Anna any disposition to cause
a rupture between the two governments, i
they view his movements in that light, blu,
prudence would dictate that he should be mar
rowly watched, and not allowed to play any
more tricks by which the two nations woulc
be drawn into another Improbable warfare
and again compel the United States to chas
tise Mexico at an enormous sacrifice. San
ia Anna alleges that he has stationed thi
force at the different forts for the pur
pose of breaking up marauding from
the Mexican side upon our territory. ant
to protect his own people from American
marauders. The force which he has place.
there, appears to be too large for the neces
sites OF this alledged object, which fact, il
connection with his notorious want of homes
ty and character, naturally arouses the suspi
cions of our government. Our soldiers viii
be engaged in repairing and constructin!
suitable fortifi cations for the protection an
defence of our territory. until they are want
ed for other purposes.

THURSDAY MORNING.: :::#:AUG. as.


Evansville and Memphis Hailread.
We observe that . correspondent Of the
Louisville Journal, writing from Greenville,
KY upon the subject of the Louisville and
Memphis railroad, urges as an argument in
favor of the vigorous prosecution Of that
work, "that it is almost certain that road
will be built from Evansville to Memphis. /"
The writer is correct in bis opinion, and we
will not accuse him of being mistaken in his
fears that it will divert large portion of
,trade and travel from Louisville.
The writer also reports portion Of .
speech from Ben. Edwards Grey, upon the
same subject, who appears to advance similar
opinions.
1t is not at all surprising that gentleman
of the intelligence and foresight of DIR. Grey
should arrive at the conclusion that so teas
ible a road, through section of country de-
manding an increase of travelling and trans.
portation facilities, should be long unoccu-
pied.
The prospect for the early building of that
line of road, is rendered doubly sure, by the
certainty of being able to form at Evansville,
q connection with the best and most direct
line ofroad leading East. The Evansville,
indianapolis and Cleveland road is now no
longer problematical, either in respect to its
importance or in the certainty of its early
completion. A report of partial prelimina-
~ survey Of the route, by Mr.. Ball the chief
Engineer, is highly satisfactory to the people
of the rural districts along the line. who have
exercised their usual caution in taking stock,
until some idea of its cost could be ascertain.
ed from q reliable source.
The people of the whole line are now pre-
pared to do their part towards the building of
the road with riH that knows no delay, and
our neighbors will observe that the Vice Pre-
sident, Mr.. Carpenter, has already announc-
ed to the public that he is prepared to receive
propositions for the grubbing and grading fif
ty miles leading out from Evansville.
The fattering prospects which our Mem
phis friends discover that their road is to be-
come a part of great national thorough
fare from their city to Cleveland, has given
an impulse to their action in the matter that
may well make the friends Of the Louisville
and Memphis road regard that line as for
midable rival. The jealousy evinced on the
part of other lines is one of the strongest
evidences of the imp ortance of the great
through line from Memphis to Cleveland
We hope our friends of the Louisville and
Memphis road will not be deferred from pro-
scouting their noble enterprise, because 9TH
er lines may be constructed possessing great
er attraction than their own. There will be
business enough for both roads; there is no
danger in building too many roads through
such sections of country as both these lines
traverse.
