offensive; but whatever their character
might have been, the minister gave no
intimations at Minatitlan and at Vera
Cruz that were considered as feelers on
the subject And if Doblado had not ar
rived from Guanajuato at the time that
he did, with his ideas, perhaps Tejada
might have helped MIR. McLane in spite
of Ocampo. Unfortunately for us Do
blado and Ocampo were unfavorable to
parting with any portion of Mexican ter
ritory.
During the rebellion all our notions of
expansion were suspended. That being
over, we have not been in condition to
look abroad until recently. Now the ag-
gressive spirit of the American race is
again revived, and active parties are
already moving from San Francisco
toward Lower California and flibus-
tering scheme is on foot in New Mexico
against Sonora. These efforts may fail,
from being premature but they are signs
of labor that is of inevitable accom-
plishment. Whoever supposes the Amer
leans will not enter upon and possess the
territory between the Rio Grande and
the port of Guaymas is utterly incapable
of reading the laws of movement. We
need this country in order to perfect the
three meridional outlets Oh the Pacific
corresponding to three entrances on the
eastern shore. As, for instance, the
Strait of San Juan de Fuca corresponds
to the mouth Of the st. Lawrence, San
Francisco corresponds to New York, Quay
mas corresponds to the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi. 4 railroad is being constructed
from the Northern lakes to the archipel-
ago known as the Gulf Of Georgia; rail-
road has already been built due west from
New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia,
and now Congress has chartered another
road, running almost due west from New
Orleans, pointing for the Gulf Of Calitor-
mia, but contemplating such territorial
changes as will permit detection to
Guaymas, which is the Naples of the Pa
cite coast This road will stert from the
lower Mississippi and traverse the CONT
nent through q lovely country. All
seasons are the same when it passes the
mountains of Central Texas.
IS it probable that the people of this
continent intend to allow Guaymas and
the mining regions Of Sonora to rest in
their present waste and barbarism when
they can redeem and own them by simply
moving forward to occupy them: Are
the mighty energies that will be en-
ployed in the construction of this South
ern Pacific railroad to d nothing but lay
crossties and gravel out road beds? If
they do it will be a wonder. If they do
not occupy Sonora and Chihuahua in
short order from the day the engineers
strike their Ines for the West, then the
spirit of the nation is not what it was.
We may be looking at San Domingo and
Cuba but. mark the prophecy, our foot
steps Will be pointing westward, ho :

Gen. Spinner, TO endeavor to negotiate the

in THE country than five per cent. If the
banks had been compelled to take the new
bonds (as they ought to have been) S the
basis Of their circulation, nearly if MT quite
four hundred millions might thus have been
disposed Of but the banks were strong
enough to defeat that proposition in Con

thus far be called a success.
On the whole, the prospect now IS that
there viii be much less reason in the two
years to come than there has been in the
two years past to brag about our successful

more numbering done in the Indian country
About 500 Apache Indians, who had claimed

government on Camp Grant Reservation IN
Arizona, have been the victims of this mas
saere The murderers were body of citi-
zens assisted by body of Papahoe Indians,
and the T. 5. troops arrived too late to pre-
vent a massacre An officer makes the fol-
lowing report of the affair
SIR: | have the honor to inform you that
the details Of the late Indian massacre at
this postaIe more horrible than at first sup
posed. Sixty three dead bodies have been
found and more than one hundred are dead
or missing. All save eight are women and
children. Owing to the absence of Captain
StanwOod with the cavalry company, ! am
unable to 20 or send any sufficient force to
take back Il ose prisoners Mr.. Tongue, a
citizen, cognizant of all the facts, goes to
Tucson tonight at my solicitation, that i'm
mediate steps may be taken to save these
women and children for their friends from a
lie of debauched servitude. / have the

accomplishment Of the above object. beg
leave to call your particular attention to the
fact that these people had delivered them
selves up to the charge of the post, and can
be retakcn as prisoners of war.

however, that the sayages are not all red
men and it is also another evidence that
the policy Of pushing the Indians continu-
ally away from the settlements, instead OF
surrounding them by civilization and treating
them like human beings has been at the
root Of all the &" Indian difficulties. - The
poor Indians have been defrauded and
cheated in every way, have been driven
from reservation after reservation as the
tide IF white men has reached their hunting
.r5unds and now bodies of citizens have
gone into the business of numbering them.

The Public Debt.

The statement 0f the public debt June ], ,
shows a decrease during the month Of about
four millions and half Of dollars The
whole decrease since March l, 1869, is over
two hundred and twenty-five millions Of dol
lars The amount Of debt already paid re-
duces the annual interest which the govern
ment has to pay about twelve millions annu-
ally. Besides the debt stated above. the
bonds issued TO the Pacific railroad compa-
MES, which the government viii 10 doubt Ill
timately have to pay, and upon which inter
est is now being paid out Of the treasury,
amount to nearly sixty-fi y- millions Of dol
lars
The payment Of the debt in the future will
be much less rapid than it has been in tie
past two years. Z ghty millions of take
were abolished by the forty-frst Congress,
and nearly that amount viii therefore be
withheld from the surplus fund which has
gone hitherto 10 the payment Of the debt.
Time will show whether this is wise policy.
There is one advantage in it certainly, VIZ
it viii become all the more necessary tat
there should be economy in the collection
and disbursement Of revenues, in order that
any Of the debt may hereafter be annually
extinGuished. There is always some danger
Of extravaganza in a full treasury. Five or
ten millions annually can more easily be
foolishly expended in such purchases as Alas
ka, St. Thomas, San Domingo, and the other
fancifuI Investments of real estate operators,
when receipts are hundred millions more
than expenditures, than when they are only
twenty-five millions more.
The funding of the public debt in the new
five per cent. bonds is not now progressing
very rapidly. Fifty or sixty millions Of the
new bonds were taken &C once by the banks,
but since the banks were supplied the bonds
have sold very slowly. Thus far there has

CIyu Congress at the lat -cs
sion appropriated ten thousand dollars to

Of the gentlemen named at least are heartily

wrctchedly managed civil service. But the
real opposition TO the reform viii appear
when the question of putting the recommen-
dations Of the board in practice comes up.
Then the Camerons and Chambers and kin
drcd politicians VINO think a party is mt Of
much account which does n { allow the poll
ticiaus to distribute Offices, viii interpose
their objections, and Will in all probability
defeat any attempt at real reform and it
isn't entirely certain that they viii not get
aid in their hostility to such re-
form from men higher in Office than them
selves. New York and Missouri are eminent
examples of the use, or rather abuse, Of the
power, not only to reward party
service, but to aid one wing Of the Republi-
can party in its war on another wing of the
same party. A reform that is not heartily
aided By the highest officer in the govern
ment can accomplish little good. The
public viii, however, look with interest for
the action Of this board, and we nope it viii
in earnest set about it's work.

The Philadelphia correspondent of the
London Times thinks that Hoffman is thc
strongest Democratic candidate for President
yet named, but says that lie is too much
compromised by his connection with the
Erie ring. Hoffman S strength lies in "a
great measure in the fact that he can carry
New York He would make respectable
candidate, but the Democracy if they care
to win in the next election cannot afford to
take the bad reputation Of New York De
mocracy as a load in the race. What they
Will have to carry Of it Will be enough any
way, without taking the representative man
Of that Democracy as their candidate. The
people viii be in no haste to put the Tam
many ring into the White House.
Besides, New York had the candidate tn c
last time, and on that account is not likely
to get it again. The State is tolerably sure
for the Democracy in any event, and a can
didate will be likely to be selected from some
doubtful State in order to strengthen the
party in such State. Hoffman, besides, Is
young and can wait Ohio or Indiana
stands much better chance to furnish the
candidate of that party than New York.
