warning 10 MaximiIIau.

Macmillan has made one step too far
he has tread upon the corns of Uncle Sam,
and that generally amiable individual has
become irate-the consequences of which
will depend entirely upon the good behs-
vior of Max hereafter. The late decree of
Macmillan closing the port of Matamorss
and those of the Northern frontier from
foreign traffic has called from the Presi-
dent Of the United States g Proclamation
in which the said decree is declared TO be
unsupported by a competent military or
naval force, is in violation of the neutral
rights of the United States as defined by
the law Of nations, as well as of treaties.
existing between the United States of
America and the United States of Mexi-
co, and proclaiming it null and void as
against the government and citizens of
the United States. Max is further in
formed that any attempt to force his de-
cree against the Government or people of
the United States will be disallowed. I'm
important as this circumstance may seem
to the rest of the world, we do not doubt
thatthe self-styled Emperor of mexico will
see in it a very considerable significance.
1t is the first real Indication he has had
that he is living next door to a great ma
ton that is Jealous of such innovations as
his, and he may begin to reflect on the ne
cessity of duly respecting the government
and people of that nation, ever to the ex-
tent of abandoning what might be greatly
TO his " convenience. This shot across
his bow will probably have the effect to
bring him promptly to, and we shall
doubtless soon record another decree ex-
cepting Americans from the operations
of the one thus objected to by our govern
ment. Of the legality of these objections
on the part of the United States there
can probably be no question. Most of the
ports blockaded by this order are in the
occupation of the United States of Mexi-
co, the rightful power, and it is beyond
all question hat Macmillan has net the
requisite forces at his command, naval or
military, to make such a blockade effect
i've under the requirements of the law of
nations. Under these circumstances the
course of our government is just and
proper.
The condition of MAMMALIAN is a most
forlorn and hopeless one. He is being
whipped three times where he gains one
advantage; the mission of his little wife
to France, to beg further assistance from
Napoleon, promises to bea f~ruitless mis-
sion in consequence of the French Empe-
rOr's important engagements at home;
and now the United States government
has been aroused against him. Verify,

The "~chivslry, true to their ancient
instincts and early education, are again
making targets Of themselves upon the
occurrence Of every petty quarrel, and
disgracing humanity and every condition
of Christian propriety BY appeals to the
"code" of the knife and pistol in settle
ment of their differences. A correspond
ent of an Eastern journal writes;
1 regret to be compelled to tell you that
the "code duellO' is being revived in the
South. It is singular that this remnant
of barbarism should still be resorted to for
satisfaction of oft-times trivial wrongs.
About two days ago, two Of the leading
editors of jackson, both of them gentle
men of culture, repaired to this CITY with
the intention of fighting a duel on the
Louisiana side of the river. Your humble
servant was one of the medistors between
the parties, and a settlement WIS effected;
but before the sun set that day, two friends
Of the respective parties crossed the river
and fought, doing no injury, however.
Two more were 70 fight the next morning,
but were arrested. The first duel arose
from a claim Of one editor to have called
a State Convention for the purpose of
choosing delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention prior to a similar call from
the other. The question could have been
settled by reference TO their respective
files. The other Young gentlemen, of the
law profession in this city, i~nterchanged
offensive remarks on the trial of a small
suit, and q duel was the result.
One shot was fred after the interchange
Of hslf-a-dozen nonsensicaf letters-1o
one hurt-and the parties settled and are
friends again. As the result of this. one
Irishman broke another's skull in an al
tercation over the duellists, and next dav
two negroes crossed the river with their
surgeons, saying: "Dis amt gwine to be
no white mans fight, to shoot all de time
and nebsr hurt no one" They separated
only six PAGES, and, sure enough, n shot
the other in the shoulder. It is TO be hoped
that such exhibitions will bring the sys-
TEN into contempt.

GENERAL,

The new Governor of Texas, Throck-
morton, was inaugurated on the 9th inst.
His inaugural address was calm. good
tempered and dignifed. He does not de-
spair of receiving liberal and generous
treatment from the North, if the people Of
the State conduct themselves properly.
He vouches for the sincerity of the people
of Texas in their assertions of loyalty, saws
they desire pesee and harmony, and calls
upon the Legislature to aid him in secur-
ing these conditions. Let US see your
works.
The Republicans of W-estmoreland
county, Pennsylvania, the home of that
worst of johnson proselytes Senator Cow
an, are men of genuine backbone, and
utterly repudiate Cowan and his tenets.
A well-posted writer from that section
says: you a set down the Republican
party in old Westmorelsnd county as a
unit on the final action of Congress upon
the reconstruction question
Gen. Geo. A. Custer, of Michigan, and
familiar to the whole country as a gallant
cavalry leader under Sheridan during the
closing months of the war, has made him
self conspicuous in connection with the
Philadelphia Convention, to the great
satisfaction of Copperheads everywhere.

fcstion of which the General is guilty in

denomination of Gen. Garfield.


The denomination of Gen. J. A. Garfield
for Congress in the Ninth District, by the
unanimous voice of the Convention, is a
gratifying evidence Of the confidence re-
posed in this able and fearless representa-
tive, and u~nfinching advocate of the pol
cy of Congress in reference to the recon
~struction OF the Union. The record of
Gen. Garield's public career, as a soldier
and legislator, is an honorable part Of the
history Of the country during tie past
four or five years, and need not be re-
hearsed to vindieate his claim to the o n
hdence of his immediate constituency and
Of the loyal people of the nation. As s
legislator he early took rank among the
leaders of the House of Representatives
and maintained his right to that position.
He is a man of sagicious Judgment and a
prudent, careful counsellor, and his devo-
ton to the principles of the great Union
party hiss been fully proven.
The Convention adopted a series of res
olutions, which viii be found under our
political head, full of the right spirit.

UTTER FASTENER.
Patent Gutter Fastener |!
The most Durable, the Cheapest, and
the most Simple Of any mode now
known for suSpending Tin
Cutters or Eve .Tr0ughs.
Ii Is strong and not visible 10 TIE
sight.

THE MODE OF SUSPENDING
i Cutters according TO the Yapp's patent is ns
follows: Across the top Of the Gutter, st about
from 6 TO 10 feet apart, according to the size and
length, is soidered a halE-inch tin tube. Through
this tube q rod or bolt Of the required LEI 18TH, with
sthread on the end, Is put through and screwed
INTO the studding plate or rafter Of the building,
TO which the gutter is suspended. The gut
ter Is held to the rod by = pin, which is put
through a hole in the tube, and a corresponding
one in the spike. By simply pulling ont this pin
with the finger, the gutter could be taken of and
slipped On again without any difficulty, thus rem
dering it easily repaired or painted. By this
mode the gutter is held stifly in its place from
year 10 year without any change in its position.
Zach rod which sustains the gutter will support
the weight OF E msn-thus giving an idea Of its
strength. The whole fsstenings are out OF sight
entirely, thus adding to the appearance Of the
gutter.
By the old mode the gutter is suspended BY hAv-
ing a strip Of tin banded around IL and nailed to
the building. Soon the nails get rusty, and the
band slips on. The wind operating on the gutter
gradually turns It around and twists it about SO
as TO make il useless. IN proOfof this look at the
Thousands Of cutters hung by the old process.
Below is appended the certificates or Architects
and Builders certifying 20 the superiority Of
1apps Patent Gutter Fastener:
We, the undersigned, Architects OF Cleveland.
having carefully examined into the merits Of the
above mode Of Hanging and putting up Cutters,
are confident that it is superior TO the old
mode and We cheerfully and conscientiously re-
