TIE MEXICAN TREATY.
1t is highly probable, if the Senate should reiect
ths treaty, that the President will EFste an i'm
pertant demOnstrsaon on some part of Mexico,
without waiting for the authority OF Congress, aud
seek TO excuse it Oh the ground that those who
committed the wrongs upon American rights and
property have only been pursued in tho atse-ce Of
any means of local redress.
MATTERS ON THE RIO GRANDS
Although troops ordered from Utah 20 the Rio
Grande are professedly intended to suppress out
bre aks between Mexicass aud Americana, and to
prevent Iudian depredstens, the opinion is enter
tanned that more important object is designed
which may suddenly startle the country.
THE INAUGURATION or THE STATUE.
Considering that Congress appropriated $4,000
for iaaugursting the Washington statue yesterday.
and the promptitude with which the 9Th Esgimsnt
responded to the invitation to participate in the
ceremonies-the absence Of preparation for their
recsptiOn--the Indifferent hospitality with which
they were welcomed and the neglect Of tie Con-
greesional Committee and Municipal authorities,
haye excited much and just comment on tie whels
affair. Mr.. Carter Of New-York proposed to cub
nit resolutions on the subject to-day, which re-
lectea the sentiments.of the regiment. at the
eyiew by the President and Secretary Of War, ibis
morning, their military bearing aud drill attracted
officers in the army.
THE HGSsE PRINTER.
After sharp contest, the printing sttusgleneeziy
eliminated in success to-day. There were foar bal
lots and it was eyideat Dir. Defrees could not be
elected from the start Some of his friends fal-
tered on the second test, and he was withdrawn on
the third BY his own desire. On the fourth Mr..
Ball of Ohio, who was member of the XXXIvth
Congress- pOIed the largest scattering vote getting
Messrs. Charles Francis Adams, Etheridge and An
derson, who had not supported MIR. DeaFees The
whole Republican column then fell into line and he
come within one of election, Mr.. Winter Davis

journmel wascasried. He will probably beelected
