Mr.. EDITOR {:

Did you ever do what
you supposed to be laudable act for the
sole purpose of gaining the approval of
your fellow men s-lt maybe that you have
as understand tn. time tha when you
were neither politician or an editor. Ii
so, and when you expected to meet an ap-
proving smile in return for your pains, ,you
have met with frownS and reproaches in
stead then you can perhaps form faint
idea of my present situation. For | have
found to my sorrow that the people OF
Forkston-the place of my last writing
are like the man we have read of, who
found huge ingot of gold to large for him
to manage alone, and rather than share it
with others, watched his useless treasure
until he died with hunger. Instead of Civ
ing me the thanks that were really due me
for making the discovery of their hidden
treasures known to the world, they heap
curses upon my ancient and venerable head,
for inviting, as they say, to their midst
swarm of greedy specul ators to deface the
beauties of nature and to corrupt the morals
of their people. Loud were the anathe-
mas, and bitter the curses uttered against
the sneaking old Iseraite, and we'll it was
for my Abrahamic brethcren that none of
them wandered in that direction. With
feelings of pity for the. migrate ful gentiles, l
Shook the dust from my feet and turned my
back upon the gates of their city.
Wo unto ye gentiles, think not thus to
escape full retrbution for the tine shall
come when thou will be overrun with op-
orators, and greenbacks in great profusion
shall be showercd upon you.
To their fate / left them, and renewed my
wan derings along the classic banks of the
Mehoopany. At length being somewhat
wearied and ceiling in mood for contem-
plating the scenes around me, seated up
on an inviting spot, and watched the hurry
ing waters as they rushed by on their cease
less journey. / had been thus employed
but a short time when looking up Il saw
man approaching, seated upon a wagonpre-
ceeded by cigar, and followed by huge
load of the fruits of the slaughter the
smoke from his cigar, which foated around
his head, hid his face from my view until
he came very near, when to my great JOY
| discovered him to be, an old friend and
fellow Iseralite, who kindly offered me seat
by his side to help me along on my jour
ney. | was much interesed in his constant
talking but my admiration for the noble
spirit of the man knew no bounds when he
informed me that he was travelling over the
country for the pbiIanthropic purpose of
Kidding the people of their commodities
and paying them in return much more
than he could expect to realize for them
himself truly we were fellow sufferers, for
his good intentions are no more appreciat-
ed by the people than are my own.

New YoRK, Dec. 23.-The Times Rich
mond correspondent says: Notwithstand-
ing the distressed condition of this section
financially, there is an anxiously expressed
wish that our Government should become
embroiled' In q foreign war. This wish
finds its origin with a certain class in the
heartfelt longing for an opportunity to wipe
out the disgrace now attached to them on
account of the rebellion. There are men
here who held high offices in the Confeder-
ate army, who would be willing to enlist as
privates under the old flag in case of war
with France or England. While hesitating
to acknowledge 1t publicly, majority OF
the people Of the South feel the disgrace
which attaches itself to the name OF rebel
lion, and but regret their folly in securing
for themselves that of traitor, and to free
themselves from this imputation and to put
themselves again on level with their
northern brethren, they are willing to do
almost anything. 'e'1i 10fI

supnort OF Indigent IndIans.

New York, Dec. 23.-The Herald's Wash
ington dispatch says Congress will be called
upon for further appropriations for support
of INDECENT Indians during the winter.
Estimates state that 81, l00000i is necessary.
Western tribes are represented as being In
an extremely destitute condition. Aletter
forwarded to the Secretary Of the Interior
from Gen. Sully, of date the 9Th, says there
are large number of Indians assembled at
Fort Rice and elsewhere on the Missouri
river, who are manifesting the most friendly
feeling for the whites, and are quite willing
to enter into liberal treaties. Gen. Sully
remarks that he offers this information in
order to give direct contradiction to the
newspaper accounts Of a contrary state of
affairs among the Indians of that section.

ESunday Nights Dispatches.
From Mexico,

NEW YORK, December 24.-The Herald's
Brownsville correspondent states that the
outrages to which the people are sub
jected by Maximillan's European troops,
and the state of anarchy which prevails In
that portion Of Mexican territory which he
claims to have completely under his sway,
Notwithstanding the repeated boasts that
order and happiness was to be The sure ac-
compartments of his reign, forced loans of
money and other property are constantly
being collected by the Imperial soldiers at
the point OF the bayOnet, and citizens who
demur to such treatment incur the penalty
of death or imprisonment .. -
Some additional correspondence passed
about the beginning of the month between
General Weitzel, commanding the United
States troops on the Rio Grande, and Gen.
Mejia, the Imperial commander at Mata-
moras, each urging grievances inflicted by
the other. Gen. Weitzel alleges that Gen.
Mejia has, on mere suspicion imprisoned
innocent American citizens, and informs
him, by direction of General Sheridan, I at
If such outrages are repeated no personal
apologies in lieu of his bad faith will be ac-
cepted, and strongly intimates that he will
be authorized to settle matters by force Of
arms. General Mejia's complaint is the old
one of aid and comfort given to the Mexi-
troops. General Weitzel says that he is
ordered to say that hereafter, when any gar
rison under MCjia's command is in state of
siege, no supplies of any kind will be per-,
mitted to be sent to such garrison
from this side, Gen. Sheridan, considering
that it would be less of violation of neu-
trality against the Legitimate authority Of
Mexico to send powder to such garrison,
and that he is ordered to stop all intercourse
with any garrison during the progress of
siege, except that which humanity shall
dictate. The correspondent further says
that the probabilities Of an active interfer-
ence by the United States in the affairs of
Mexico is the one thing thought of at
Brownsville, and the impression is very
strong that this will be delayed but short
time. Certainly the tone of the authorities
is such as would warrant the conclusion
that no great pains will be taken to avoid
rupture.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Lewis Clephine,

tuted suit in the District of Columbia

and the register of the city, to recover pay
ing out of the corporation funds the expen-
ses of the recent election, to take the sense
of the citizens in relation to negro suffrage.
Complainants take the ground that there Is
no authority given in the municipal charter
for holding of elections of special char
acter, or to determine or ascertain the views
OF residents in reference to the right of the
elective franchise to persons of color In this
District. Judge Carter made an order that
respondents should not issue as prayed for.
A petition to Congress isin circulation
to-day for signatures, in favor OF negro
suffrage.
The issuing Of pardons has almost en-
tirely ceased. About dozen acquisitions

LOUISVILLE, KY, nec. 22.--The morning

the subject Of taxing leaf tobacco, written
by gentleman fully conversant with the

the proposed taxing Of Leaf tobacco would
be Injurious alike to the Government, the

Startling Case Of Attempted Muir.

' NEW YORK, Dec. A.-A startling case Of
attempted suicide transpired in Brooklyn
last evening. The parties in the affair
have heretofore occupied the highest po-
sitions in the estimation of their friends,
and that of the lady Is still unimpaired.
Their names are,W. H. Russ, book-keeper
in the office Of the Mexican National
Loan Company in this city, and Miss
Frances NJ. Dayton, a native of Washing-
ton, Litchiield county, Connecticut. The
former, lover of the latter, thinking he
had been deceived or made insane by some
unknown cause, while walking with the
lady near her residence, suddenly drew
revolver and fired four shots at her, wound
ing her severely In the head, and then turn
ing the weapon upon himself fired two
shots into his own skull. Thinking the wo-
man dead, he then ran to the river and
threw himself into the water, but after
wards escaped from it, and was finally ar
rested. When taken into custody he had
the weapon still in his possession, and his
wounds were bleeding profusely. The
young lady Is not expected to survive.
Russ was conveyed to the hospital, and his
wounds are not considered dangerous.
