EsCOREDo,s WEALTH.
The BrownsyilIe RancIero saws

The Brownsville Rdnchero says: ii
Within the past few months General
Mariana Esc0bedo has risen from the con
dition of lordly pauper to one of wealth,
pomp, and circumstance. Commencing
with the pillsge Of the merchandise CON
Quotas near Camargo, where he made his
first raise, and continuing through twelve
months of robbery, he has amassed for
tune of more than half million of dollars.
From the hour that Escobedo tasted the
sweets of that plundered and piilaged con-
Quotas, which cost the merchants of Mata-
moras three million dollars, his appetite
has been kept whetted to the robbing point.
Escobedo has paid for real estate nearly a
half million of dollars in the last four
months, and it is by no means impossible
that he possess similar sum TO invest in
the same way. All the effects of Maxi
milan, captured at Queretaro, have been
sold by Escobedo as keepsakes at fabulous
prices. More than a thousand bullets,
each asserted to be the one that killed the
Emperor, have been sold for ten times
their weight in gold. 1t would appear
that Escobedo has made fortune-making a
business since he has been in command of
the prestamo gangs. He owns the best
property in Monterey, and his property in
haciendas and mines is immense.

BATTLES AND ELECTIONS.
The Results that Bring Tears from the
Jacobias-

ncSuitS SAsat
Jacobias-
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, 18th.
Ii has been a debatable question for
years whether the result of an election in
this country was as potent in its conse-
quences to parties as battles were in Europe
to nations. We have always affirmed that
a defeat of either Of the great parties in a
general election, in this country, was Of
the same nature and Of the same import to
the victors OF vanquished, as a frst-class
battle would be TO contendiBg nations in
Europe, where battles upset old and form
new governments. During our late civil
struggles, we watched with close attention
the effect of both victory and defeat on the
then dominant Black Republican party.
The defeat Of the Union armies in first
class battle, like Chancelorville, with Its
ten thousand wounded and dead, had not
one-half the depressing effect upon the
Black Republican party as the defeat of
that party in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
New York in 1862
The battle, or battles, that upset the
rulers of either the State or general gov
ernments, are the battles that are telling in
their results. The victory in Ohio that
has ended the career Of Ben. Wade, that
will probably close the books on Mr. Hayes,
that has ended the political hope and pros
pect of the intriguer Chase, and has placed
the governments of Ohio and Pennsylva-

LATEST KILOGRAMS.
MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Indian Commissioners, etc.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1S.-The Indian Com
missioners were at Fort Larned on the 18th,
where they met Santana, head chief of the
kiowas, and several leading chiefs of other
tribes, who will accompany the Commis-
sioners to Medicine Lodge creek. Gov.
Crawford aud Senator Ross, of Kansas, are
with the Commissioners, and strongly OPP
pose any temporizing policy with the In
dams. In case treaties adequate to the Sc
curity Of absolute peace cannot be made,
they will use all their influence to have
large number of troops stationed on the
plains, aud sufficient aid extended to rail-
roads to complete them. With railroads
finished, they say game will disappear, and
with it, the Indians. A letter from Super
intendent Murphy cautions the Commits
sioners against taking a large escort with
them, for fear the military will Brighten
the Indians away from Medicine Lodge.

THE SCRAMBLE FOR OFFICE IN
THE SOUTHERN STATES.

We notice that number Of the Geor>
gia papers are urging the white people of
that State not to vote upon the question
of convention at the election on the
18th inst, but to vote for delegates to the
convention The object of not voting on
the proposition for convention is to de-
feat it, as if a majority of the registered
voters do not vote ON the question, the
convention fails. A similar movement
has been inaugurated in Virginia A
Richmond telegram of the 18th inst says
The political excitement is on the in
crease. The Conservatives are working
with much energy, and everything indi-
Gates that there will be an exciting cleo
ton, and that the full white vote will be
polled for delegates, and against the con-
vention. The ticket headed by Marina
duke johnson, will be voted for by the
Conservatives to a man. The moderate
Republicans are frightened, and it is now
certain will join the Radicals under Hun
nieutt. There will be only two tickets on
election day.
1t was thought few days ago there
would be two Republican tickets in Vir-
ginia, the moderate wing of the party hav
ing refused to join Hunnicutt in his vim.
dictive policy toward the white people Of
that State. But it seems these so-called
moderate Republicans would rather see
Hunnicutt and his denominations succeed
than have Conservative white men elected
to the convention There was no princi-
pie involved 80 far as they are concerned;
it was simply scramble for Office, and
when they found they could not get this,
they fell into the ranks Of the extreme
Radicals We have in the course of
these men fair illustration of the pa
triotism of Southern Republicans. Their
love for the South is measured by Office
and the emoluments of Office But for
these we should never hear Of the
doughty patriots who are thrusting them
selves forward. 1t is for the personal
benefit of these Adventures, who have
been thrown to the surface by the reyo-
luton through which we have passed,
that the negroes have been manipulated
through the machinery of loyal leagues
A more disgraceful scramble for Office
than that now going on in the Southern
States, or rather the Southern Provinces,
never was Witnessed in any country.

ST. LOUIS Oct. 18.-Wm. Murphy, who
has been confined in the Missouri peniten-
tiary for the last two years, under sentence
by military commission for boat burning
on the Mississippi river during the war,
was brought before the United States Court
on Wednesday, and the case was argued on
an application for discharge. Judge Mil
Ter decided the case to-day by discharging
the prisoner on the ground Of the uncon-
stitutionality of the tribunal by which
Murphy was tried >and sentenced. The
Judge also decided that the prisoner occu-
pied the same position now as though he
had not been tried and sentenced by a
military tribunal, and could be arraigned
to trial upon the charge by civil courts.
On motion of the District Attorney the
prisoner was remanded to confinement
until tomorrow, to allow opportunity to
renew old charges or prefer new ones ifany
existed,

J. POWELL, Radical who made the
race for Congress in the first district
against r. r. Butler Rebel Radical, has
been in Nashville Cor some time getting
up the Rebel record Of the aforesaid
Butler, and in letter to the Greenville
Union Mr.. Powell says
There is but one excuse for the great
mass Of the people that supported him for
Congress, viz: That he denied his Rebel
record up to the day Of the election, and
thereby deceived the people. If he ex-
poets to sustain himself under false pre-
lenses for a high and honorable Office, it
win prove 10 the world the want Of honor
in himself and a want Of virtue in his
constituencv-at least those who were
acquainted with his Rebel attecedeats.
Mr.. Powell viii be able to present a
most damning record against Butler, such
as would oyerwhelmn any decent man.
But the Radicals in Congress viii most
likely take this erring brother by the
hand welcome him to their fold He is
a fit representative of Tennessee Radi-
calism.

Nashville, and has taken a look at the
interior workings of Radicalism at the
capitol In letter to the Greeneville
Union he declares that "the first Offices
IN the State are confined to certain indi-
viduals, who are already the incumbents
Of high positions, and every one except
these favored few have to take back seats.

fat places and Mr. Powell intimates that
some at least Of this ring are not satisfied

MIA in the hands Of the old tried, patriotic
Democracy, are the victories and are the
battles that are telling in their results Ten,
twenty-aye, fifty thousand dead and
wounded sons of our ssoil-our wounded
writhing in agony, our mothers, sisters and
daughters crazy in grief and heart-broken
with the less Of their dear ones-had no
such an effect upon these cruel monsters,
like Wade and Chase, as the defeat they re-
ceiyed at the hands Of the people of Ohio
and Pennsylvania last Tuesday week-a
defeat more telling in its consequences to
the vanquished than any half.dozen first
class battles during the war. They then
had resources to fall back upon, and the
CONSUMPTION to draw them out, whereas
they have none such to fill up the chasm
of voters they have lost.

To Charles G. Nazarene, President of the

The Charleston Courier of this day, re-
eeived tonight, has private letter from
Pendleton, South Carolina, reporting thai
the white citizens are rising from a dis
turbance at a meeting of the colored loya
league, by which Mr.. Nennicutt, of Pickens
was killed. A detachment of troops have
been sent there to preserve order.
Col. Woods, Chief of the secret service
division, Treasury Department, has had
all his detectives at work to discover the
authors of counterfeit 7.30 notes recently
issued. 1t is definitely ascertained that
over 1000 have been put upon the market,
and that the plates were not made in
Europe, but in this country. 1t is further
sta ted that Philadelphia has been the
headquarters for presenting them. A clue
to the whole proceeding is said to be in
possession of the secret service officers.
According to representations, one of the
gang of counterfeiters had been so successful
with his 7-30s that he forgot his discretion
and commenced putting in circulation $40
and $50 bank notes, and upon this latter
charge he was captured, and iden Titled as

rNTELIIGENT CTTTzENsHIP,

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
General Scott, Freedmen's Bureau Com
missioner, has issued an order to regulate
the division of the crops in South Carolina,
where freed people are working for share
thereof He says the owners of the lands
must furnish storage, and no part of the
crops can be sold until the division is fairly
made, but they may be divided any time
when both parties agree. Officers and
agents of the Bureau are directed to rem
der every assistance TO prevent dishonesty
or unfairness, and to see that justice and
equity are observed between the parties.
These negroes were regarded or at least
treated by Congress as entirely competent
to exercise the highest right of citizens
vet the Bureau Commissioner holds, after
more than two years of freedom, that
they do not possess sufficient intelligence
to take care of their own interests in a
single business transaction A large ma
iority Of those who will vote in the COM
ing election for delegates to a convention
to frame constitution for the new State
of South Carolina, are of this class
Their majority is sufficiently large to de-
termine the character of that convention.
The Congressional plan of reconstruction
simply hands over South Carolina, along
with the other Southern States, to this
class, and the demagogues who pander to
their prejudices to the greatest extent,
will be the men who will give form and
tone to the organi C laws of the new State
The action of the Bureau Commissioner
shows the dangerous element Congress
has incorporated into the politics of the
Southern States, if not of the whole
