EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common
that it is almost impossible for an cdi-
tor to express his honest opinion Of the
merits Of any article without being sus-
pocted Of interested motives. This
fact, however, shall not deter us from
saving What we think of Il new addition
to die Matcrin Medicn TO which cur
attention has been recently directed.
We refer to DR.. J. WALKERS CALGroR-
MA NlNEGAR RrrrEEs, Il remedy which
is making its way into more families
inst now than all the other advertised
medicines put together. Its populari-
ty, as far Us we Il Judge, is not based
on empty pretcntion. There seems to
beno question about the potency OF its
tonic and Alternative properties, while it
possesses the great negative recon-
mendation OF containing neither alcohol
nor mineral poison. That it is a spc-
ciiic for Indigestion, Billiousncss, Con-
stipation, and many complaints of ner-
vous origin, we have reason to know;
and we are assured on good authority
that as a general invigorant, regulating
and purifying medicine, it has no
equal. 1t is stated that it's ingredients,
obtained from the wilds of California;
are new to the medical world, and its
extraordinlr Try effects certainly warrant
the conclusion that it is a compound Of
agents hitherto unknown. If popular
ity is any criterion, there a be no
doubt OF the efficiency of the Vinegar
Blttcrs, for the sale of the article is
immense and continually increasing.

b A~SeN4SAASs ..H
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-A delegation
from Texas, headed by Senator Hamilton,
waited on the President this morning in
relation to the Mexican dcptedations on
the frontier. The delegation represented
that at recent date party of forty reg.
ular Mexican troops in uniform, crossed
the Rio Grande, OF point above Browns.
vile, and arrested the U. s. Custom
Inspector, together with number of cit.
izens, and held them until they had
crossed into Mexico, driving with them
800 or 600 head Of cattle. 1t Is further rep
resented that the depredations on stock
alone, by raiders from Mexico into Texas,
N the last six years, will reach from
1000, 900 TO $10O00,O00. -
The President replied that the subject
was one Of frequent occurrence, and that
the Mexican government would no doubt
willingly afford relief, but seemed power.
less to do so while the international rev.
olutions continued in the Northern States
OF Mexico.
The commercial phases Of the, ques.
tions were also discussed, and it was
suggested, that tho order be issued from
the Secretary OF the Treasury prohibiting
the clearance Of vessels from points above
Brownsville was the cause Of a virtual
blockade Of the Rio Granda, and there
fore illegal. The President took notes Of
the conversation, and promised TO bring
all the questions before the Cabinet. 4
delegation subsequently, called on the
Secretary Of the Treasury in reference to
the commercial questions involved. The
Secretary admitted that the order pro.
hibiting trade above Brownsville was
questionable, but that 1t was subject to an
order from the Treasury Department.
The Senate New York Custom House
Investigation Committee held a special
session to-day and examined VIM. 0rton,
eX-Commissioner Of Internal Revenue. as
to the advisibility Of the continuation Of
the system Of moities in the New York
Custom Honse. The examination which
was directed by Howe and Bayard, elicit.
ed the opinion from tho witness that
while the system was subject to many
corrupt innovations, It was nevertheless
proper, If not absolutely necessary, to con.
tinue In existence some system Of remu.
neradon to officials; the salary which was
being paid to inspectors was of itself in.
sufficient to guarantee any extraordinary
effort on their part.
