MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
Adyices from the InterlOr-N0 ReTO-
lutiOnists in the Late Disturbed
PrOYinces-MOVements Of
the Government.

NEW ORLEANS, May 12.-Advices
from San Luis Potosi, to the twenty
eighth ultimO, state that there are no
rcvolutionists in the States of San Luis
PotOsi, GuanOduata and Zacatecas, and
that business is improving in those
States.
ROcha has arrived at Mazatlan and
has confirmed the report of Diaz being
in Jalisco.
Corollo left San Luis Potosi on the
twenty-fifth ultimO, and went towards
Monterey.
Garcia Ayala, Governor of Nueva
Leon, issued a decree to the effect that
all males over fifteen years of age are
liable to military duty or pay fifteen
dollars per month for six months. He
accompanies Cevallos and commands
the troops of Cortina, who has been re-
lieved. CevallOs's advance occupies Ca
margO. The southern part of Nueva
Leon has pronounced in favor of the
government.
Francisco Valdez and Matiaz Berlan-
go, commanding the forces at Linares
and Montmollis have declared against
Irevino and in favor of the govern
ment.
Advices from Matamoras state that
communication was re-established with
ReyrOsa yesterday, and will be open to
Camargo tomorrow.
General Trevino, with a small cavalry
force, left Camargo four days ago, in the
direction of Sinares and Monterey.
General Quivaga left at the same time
with infantry, towards Miers, which is
also en- route to Monterey by a different
road than that taken by Trevino.
The revolutionary force with them was
small, ill-clad and in need of provisions.
General Ceballos entered ReynOsa to-
day, and it is rumored that General
Cortie refused to obey General Ceballo's
orders, and will operate ON his own
account andlive off the country. This,
however, needs confirmation.

THE WASHINGTON TREATY.
Grant ManeuVering to Recover Lost
GrOund-England too Sharp for
Him.

WASHINGTON, May 12-While 1t Is
generally believed from the newspaper
statements that the Treaty Of Washing
ton will fail of execution, gentlemen In
official positions are not willing to make
such an admission. Nothing Of an Off
cial correspondence between the United
States and Great Britain, which has
taken place since the respective state
ments Of the case have been filed with
the Geneva tribunal, has been given to
thepublic; butenough is known through
other quarters to apprehend danger TO
the treaty, owing to the objection of the
British Government to the presentation
OF claims for consequential damages,
and, in effect, asking for their with
draWal, as movement necessary
to an arrangement affecting mere bel
l9ereney and neutrality, and our refusal
TO aoeede to its wishes. Private letters
nom London recently received here
say positively that the British Govern
ment will withdraw from the Geneva
tribunal, rather than go before it with
our claims for consequential damages
pending. No such threat has, however,
reached our government. The question
now is where it was several months ago,
when friendly note, Objecting to our
presentation Oi JldI CLASS OF Claims, was
received by this government, the orig
inal positions of the two countries not
having been in the least degree changed
by the correspondence. The reply of
Secretary Fish to the last cOmmdnica-
ton received from London will not
reach its destination for eight OF ten
days, and as the two governments, where
there is no, need for haste, do not con-
duct their diplomacy by means of
kilograms as important errors may oc-
cur in their transmission. If for no
other reason it cannot now be said that
the treaty has failed. While the Execu-
tive Department of the government Is
committed against Withdrawing claims
for consequential damages, and In ef-
feet deny that England should, by inn
plieation, decide to the United States a
modification of the American state
ment of the case, it does not follow that
the negotiation is at an end. This con-
ditiOn of misunderstanding betwptn two
nations, and while this government
does not expect any money in consider
alton for consequential damages but
desires all claims of whatever character
to be disposed of forever by the tribunal
of arbitrators, it viii continue cores
pOndence in the hope of removing the
difficulty so that if the treaty should
fail the responsibility will rest with
Great Britain and not with the United
STATES

THE LOWREYS AGAIN.
Colonel F. NJ. Wishart, OF Robson
County, North Carolina, MUIR
dered by them.

We publish, says the Augusta ChrOn-
icle, in another column, from the Will
mingtOn Star, am account of the muir
der Of Colonel F. NJ. Wishart, Of Robe
son county, North Carolina, by the
LOwrey gang of outlaws, on Thursday
last. 1t is astonishing that this insig-
nificant gang Of thieves, now reduced in
numbers, we believe, to four or five per-
sons, should be permitted to continue to
rob and murder the people of the sec
tion of country which they infest with
impunity. Only a few days ago we had
an account Of q robbery perpetrated by
one of the gang in broad daylight, and
now we have the particulars Of a tTeach-
erOus and brutal murder Of a respectable
citizen. This recOFd is a disgrace to the
people OF North Carolina, who, il they
are denied the protection of the laws by
their Radical rulers, would be justified In
taking the most direct and effective
measures for their own protection, and
for Riding the country OF such a nest OF
thieves and murderers. Is there not
manhood enough in Robeson county to
put down a gang of half-a-dOzen negro
and mulattO outlaws? II there Is not,
the people of the State should take the
matter in hand, and hunt the wretches
from their skulking places, and bring
them to the punishment they 50 richly
deserve

Their general Office is No. 120 Church

Wed not propose speaking 50 much of
the merits Of the Wheeler q Wilson
machine, which are universally conceded
to be the best and most complete ma
chine ever invented, as to refer to the
business. energy, integrity and high
.souled liberality of these indefatigable
gentlemen. The Wheeler & Wilson is
universal favorite and is rapidly super
ceeding all other machines. There are
already six hundred and fifty thousand
dollars worth of those incompatible ma
chimes in use, and everywhere they give
the highest and most universal
satisfaction. Messrs Howard & SOule
have been located here for sew
eraI years, and have built up
a wide extended and growing busi-
ness. They are princes of gentlemen
and living Illustrations of energy, in
tegrity and business capacity. They
give employment TO hundreds of men,
and have diffused vast sums in judicious
expenditure, and scattered many bless
ings around them. They have a large
number of their inimitable machines on
exhibition, four of which are running
day and night by steam and by turbine
water-wheels, moving with lightning
rapidity, and making from two thousand
to four thousand stitches per minute.
They have also the depot of Mime. De-
morest's reliable patterns of every size

NEITHER the APPEAL nor its cores
pondent stated that ninety per cent of
the Cincinnati Convention were Demo-
Gratis, as asserted by a very stupid or
very malignant Arkansas newspaper.
Such a statement, on its face, was too
absurd for publication, and if made, any
gentleman of decent intelligence would
have known il was the new party and
not the convention that by laundering
dispatch was said to be thus construed.
Democrats claimed that their preferen-
ces, in the selection of a candidate at
Cincinnati, should be consulted, be-
cause they expected to furnish ninety
per cent. Of the votes for Greeley.

Washington Monument 70 be Com
pIefed.

The committee on the District of Col

two hundred thousand dollars for the
completion of the Washington Monu-
ment. The sum of twenty-three
thousand dollars has already been
expended upon the work, and three
hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars will be needed to
complete the shaft, while the cost of the
whole work is estimated to be one mil
lion one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars. The committee unani-
mously approve the plan of this monu-
ment and of the work already done,
and bear cheerful testimony to the en-
ergy, integrity, economy and patriotic
love which animated and governed the
transactions Of the Washington Ma
tiOnal Monument Society, and especial
ly commend the design of building the
monument by the voluntary contribu-
tions of the people Of the United States.

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE LIBERALS.
From the Trenton CTenn) Weekly Gazette.l
What is the duty of the Democracy at
this time? Here and yOnder Bourbon
paper says, put a candidate In the field,
and as the Republicans are divided, We
can win the race, as did the Republicans
i'm 1860, when the Democracy was divid-
ed. Such cOunsels viii not prevail. II
we knew a Democratic candidate would
be successful, we doubt whether we
4
we are satisfied that the election of a
Democrat under such circumstances,
would create a widespread and deep
discomfort; and ii might prove a
disaster to the country. But we have
no such assurance of success. We
have too much to risk by running a acan-
didate, and the Democracy will not do
so. Nor do we think the Democracy
should, as an organized force, join the
Liberal Republicans in this campaign,
but that they should allow their ranks
10 fuse with those of the Republicans in
the national contest, and for the time
being. Hence, we oppose anything like
a formal ratification of the Cincinnati
nominations by Democratic COnven-
tiOns. We are opposed to such ratitica
ton by Democratic National COnven-
ton. We are, indeed, opposed to the
holding of a National Convention 10y
the Democracy, as We believe such con-
ventiOn can do no good, and might do
much harm. If wisdom and discretion
prevail, the doom of the Grant dynasty
is sealed.
THE STRONGEST TICKET.
From the Des Arc ARKANSAS Citizen)
The ticket nominated by the Cincin-
natl Convention is certainly as strong as
any the Convention could have put in
the field. Mr.. Adams, Greeley's strong
est opponent in the convention, has not
that hold ON the masses Of the people at
the North that Mr.. Greeley has. Of
course the Grant organs viii say the
whole thing was farce, but unless they
change their party tactics November
will tell a different tale. Mr.. Greeley
was surprised at the nomination. He
says he will accept in a letter.

The Amendments to the Deficiency Bill.

Tne Amendments 10 bne Deuc1ency HAlt-
The Committee of Conference on dis
agreeing as to the amendments to the
bill, had two hours session yesterday,
when the Senators agreed to abandon
the amendment of Senator Morrill, of
Vermont, but the House members de-
termined to stand by the substitute of
the House. A committee will meet to-
morrow with a view to reconcile their
difficulties. The effect of MOrrill's
amendment Is to lock up in the treasury
the amount for which judgment had
been entered in the Courts. Under the
Supreme Court the decision and
effect of the substitute from
the House will be to pay
these judgements, and to require the
Secretary of the Treasury to adjudicate
the claims for cotton seized after June
25, 1865. Should the two Houses fail to
arrive at an agreement on the subject, a
decision of the Supreme Court fixes the
status of claimants as to the cotton
seized prior to June 25, 1865; all other
cases stand as before. The fund to pay
these claims is in the treasury, held in
trust for claimants. Itamounts TO twenty
five million, ten million of which is
barred by the status of limitation. A
number of prominent attorneys are here
actively working for their clients.

RESULTS OF THE LATE CONVEN

The people are unusually satisfied with
the deliberations and results of the late
Democratic Convention. The acquies-

selection of State and District electors,
the resolutions, the appointment of del
egates to Baltimore, were all regarded
as iudiciOus, timely, wise and proper.
The delegates have, for the most part,

that they accomplished patriotic work,
with which the people are well pleased.
