The House Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons are nearly unanimous sgainst the pro-
position to indorse the Mexican bonds to
either $4,000, 900, or any other amount.
There are, in all probability, less than
twenty members in the House who dare
vote for any such measure, and sill stories
set atOst by interested parties are entitled
10 very little credit. The lobby engaged
upon it are persistent in their button-holing
Of members, and making hinge promises,
but it is Of no avail.

closes the whole matter.

it is supposed have considerable political
significance.
The Herald says that the Government
patronage has been transferred to the Re
publican, an ardent supporter Of the Presi-
dents policy, which has just been trans
formed into morning paper. Il is under
stood that ali papers that fail to sustain the
reorganization policy Of the President will
be treated likewise, and the advertising
l viii be given to Democratic papers.

announcing the death Of Gen. Seth VIII
liams and Col. Theodore S. Bowers, lately

A strong effort is being made in the inter
est Of the delinquent Taxpayers 70 abolish
the detective revenue system, which has
been so successful in discovering the frauds
| on the Government revenue. The fact that
some of these officers, in trying to defraud
the Government, were discovered in this
| movement, has defeated the scheme, and
has not left any to good an impression in
| regard 10 those Assessors and Collectors who
| lent themselves 10 this scheme in behalf Of
the delinquent taxpayers.
