The WAR IN MEXICO presents to-day o
gloomy and almost incomprehensible picture.
The ground gained to-day by the government
forces is occupied by the revolutionary party
tomorrow; and more miserable arrangements
were never beheld in the most barbarous of
guerilla warfare. According to our special
despatch published to-day the capture Of
Saltillo by the rebels under Treviho has been
confirmed by despatch from the retreating
chief of the government garrison to Gen.
eral Cevallos, at Camargo. Thus the rebels
are in possession of most desirable position.
Probably owing to this confirmation rumors
were afoat in the latter city that Quiroga's
forces were marching thither to attack
Cevallos command. Of this however, moth
ing definite had been ascertained. The great
sensation in the garrison at Camargo appears
to be the prospect of genuine cavalry hunt
after the revolutionary robber and black
mailer Gomez Portugal, who has been scar
ing the merchants around Matamoros and
levying on their produce until the villages have
become like plain after locusts have de.
parted

THE TRIAL OF Stokes. ninth day
of the trial of Edward s. Stokes for
the murder of James Fisk, Jr., although
it added very little to the facts imme-
diately relating to the act, developed
some of the surrounding evidence on which
the prosecution hope, with the aid of the
direct testimony to secure verdict of guilty
against the prisoner. There was also developed
something Of the theory of the defence. A
great amount of curiosity has naturally
obtained as to what this would be- 1t
would now seem, from the cross-examina-
ton Of Houseman, Fisk's coachman, that
one OF the main points on the trial
will be the question whether Fisk was armed
or not at the time Of the shooting. From
queries directed to this witness it seems not
improbable that evidence, direct or indirect.
will be brought of Fisk having been armed at
the time. AS with Chamberlain evidence for
the prosecution, this line of defence will de-
introduced, in order to have any real effect on
the main issue That counsel for the defence
showed temper and heat at times must be set
down as something allowable by the traditions
Of the bar in such cases, but it is not always
wise to keep abusing 'the plaintiff attorney
On this the Court passed an opinion.
The composition of the we'll dressed lounger
crowd that hangs about the entrances Of
Broadway hotels may find some uncomfort-
able illustration in the person Of Wandle, the
sporting man" who appears in the trial to
say he saw Stokes hurrying along towards the
hotel and going in at the ladies' entrance, and
that Fisk followed close after. After the some.
what e1 o6icio evidence of Coroner Young and
Captain Byrne and that of Mr.. Crockitt the
hotel clerk, the Court adjourned to Monday,
giving the twelve blanks on the jury leave to
separate in the meantime. Both sides must
have been perfectly correct in trusting these
charming jurors not to retain fixed impress
sion from anything that might happen in the
meantime.

CINCINNATI.

CIScISHATI, July l3.-Specials from
Wapakoneta state that the country
around Celina is in a horrible state
of excitement, arising from the outra-
geous murder Of the girl, Mary Bell
Secour, for which two.men we're hung by
the mob. Two men, who were suspect
ed to have been implicated in the out
rage, have since committed suicide, and
the mob have taken and, hung a third
man. 1t is not known who he is, but it is
probably young Kimball, who was spared
the other day through the intercession
of Miss Secour's brother The lawyer
who defended the Kimballs in their ex-
aiming trial has been forced to leave
the county, the mob threatening to hang
him if he did not. Reports state that
the mostintense excitement and disorder
prevails, and that the Governor has been
appealed to to take the necessary steps
to restore law and order.

/, PUBLIC LIBRARY One Of the great
needs Of Memphis is free public libra
ry, for the benefit of thousands ofyoung
men of all classes, who would gladly
avail themselves Of such an opportunity
for improving their minds. If there is
genuine philanthropy in anything more
than in the moral and intellectual cult
walton of the rising generation, we do
not know what it is. Many plans have
been suggested by which the city could
get rid of numerous evils, such as keno,
add other disreputable resorts of young
men, who, in many instances, have
scarcely anywhere else to 60, and find
the back-rooms Of beer saloons, with
playing cards, dominoes and other gam
ing devices, spread temptingly on little
round tables, very convenient resorts. II
there we're good public library, with a
lyceum attached, in this city, its in
Huence would be edifying and refining,
and thousands of people would thank
those whose enterprise gave them such
an institution. Lou Leubrie, who has
always been in the lead in anything that
promised entertainment and profit for
Memphis, has taken the matter in hand,
and has been already promised hand
some donation from large landed pro-
prietOr of this city who heartily sympa-
thizes with the project. As Leubrie was
successful in getting up our Mardi-Gras
festival, and inaugarating our popular
weekly promenade concerts, so we hope
he may be in this, the best Of all, a pub.
lie library.

was suddenly seized with violent at

day ina dangerous condition, apprehen-

he might not recover. He continued to
sink rapidly, and became insensible.
Owing to alarming reports, Senator

A special from Washington to the

Minister, has just been developed.
During the Franco-German war Baron
,Gerolt wrete a friendly note to Bancroft
Davis, observing that the French were
allowed too much facility in purchasing
arms in the United States. Mr.. Davis
replied insultiugly.. Gerolt showed the
reply to Secretary Fish, who conciliated
him by stating that the missive was be-
meath his notice. Shortly. afterwards Ge-
rolt received telegram from Bismarck,
reprimanding him for his conduct to-
ward the United States officials. Gerolt
at once rendered his resignation and
after wards convinced Bismarck that he
had been imposed on in the matter.
The Tribune states that Bancroft Davis
had made his Representations to
Bismarck, thus causing Gerolt' removal.
1t is generally thought the Stokes case
will be giyento the jury this afternoon.
