MEXICAN CLAIMS AGAINST THE
UNITED STATES.
Grave Differences Between the Conn
missiOnefs.

AAAo5AOaCAbs
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Since the ad
vent Of the new Mexican Commissioner
in the Joint Commission OF the United
States and Mexico, grave differences have
arisen between him and his American
colleague, in relation TO the present status
and future disposition Of large class O
claims against tho United States. The
following is succinct statement OF these
differences
Tho Mexican Government laid before
the Commission 3G6 individual claims
against the United States for about two
million dollars, and known as the "Indiau
depreciation cases." These cases were
argued by both governments before tAe
Board of Commissioners, and submitted
for their award. The Commissioners
differed, and on the 9Th OF May last, by
an order on their records, referred their
disagreement TO the Umpire Tor his
decision, directing the Mexican Secre.
tary TO deliver to him the papers. In the
meantime Mexican was appointed as q
new Commissioner, UEcc the old one re-.
signed. He took his seat June Gath last
and finding the Mexican Secretary had
not yet executed the order in reference 10
theUmpire he volunteered to his colleague
to examine the cases to see il he could
not agree with him in opinion and thus
save the necessity of executing the order
OF reference to the Umpire, but the new
Mexican Commissioner reached the con.
Clusion that neither the board Of Com.
mtSsioners nor their Umpire had any au.
thority to decide for or against the claim,
but that they should be suspended and
the two governments advised that they
could only be settled by q new treaty and
that till they were thus settled they should
be held up and kept intact; at the same
time announcing his firm resolution to
take that course with them. His col.
league, the American Commissioner,
not being able to agree with
any part of his views he re.
quired the execution OF the order of May
Sth, and tho delivery OF the cases to the
Umpire. The Mexican Commissioner ex.
plicitly refused to allow 1t to be done.
His colleague then proposed to refer their
difference to the Board, and to suspend
the cases. He rejected this. Finally the
American Commissioner announced that
he would treat this overthrow OF the au.
thOrity Of the Board and the Umpire, and
this suspension Of the cases, as a forced
interruption Of the labors OF the Commits.
sion until the two friendly governments
should remove the difficulty, and at once
refer the questions raised to the two gov.
ernments. The Commission requires every
case laid before it to be decided by Feb.
ruary next, and unless this IS done moth.
ing is done. The suspension of the 3G6
cases, with no right to decided them, is
therefore complete overthrow OF the
Commission and breaks the treaty, unless
the two governments provide remedy.
So the American Commissioner viewed
the matter pending the solution Of the
difficulty through diplomatic channels.
The sessions Of the Board are suspended.
In his remarks yesterday to some
friends, Greeley intimated that he should
not make any more speeches for several
months.

IT has been stated frequently of late
that the use Of opium is becoming more
and more common in our larger cities. In
Boston the druggists have long lists Of
regular customers, and according to the
Globe, it is well known fact that there
are scores Of men Of letters, in the ranks
Of the clergy, the legal and medical pro-
fession, who do the greater part Of their
work under the influence Of this seductive
drug. For this fact two causes may be
named: the unpopularity of alcoholic
drinks, and the occult demands Of a high
civilization. But this ought to be borne
in mind by those who are tempted to use
this narcotic; it is almost impossible to
break of its use, and its continued use is
physical destruction.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The official
stenographer who accompanied the Sub
Committee on Indian Affairs OF the House
of Representatives, in the recent trip to
the Indian Territory, has returned. The
members Of the committee are still in the
Territory, having LETT Misskogee, last
Wednesday, 10 visit and set a price upon
the Cherokee lands west Of the Goth de-.
gree OF longitude, which has been assigned
to the Usage Indians. II is the duty OF
the President to fix the price to be paid
the Cherokees for those lands, as the
price fixed by him some time ago, fifty
cents per acre, was unsatisfactory TO the
Cherokees. A reconsideration was pro-
cured, and the President will probably be
guided by the report Of the committee.
A large mass Of very important testimony
has been taken, disclosing immense and
almost incredible frauds upon the Chero.
KEGS, Greeks, Choctaws and Chickassws,

by Indian delegates with Washington
lobbyist and claim agents. The Contin.

lions OF dollars, on which delegates had
large pecuniary interests. The committee
is said to be very indignant against the
persons involved in these robberies of the
Ignorant Indians, and the cancellation and
annullment OF all such existing contracts,
will be recommended and insisted upon.

THE following lucid par agraph ap'
pears in the local column OF the Steuben.
vile Herald:
We have received the first issue OF the
Wheeling Democrat published daily. The
Democrat is little sheet issued as an
afternoon paper in the interest of Gov.
Jacob. Politics in West Virginia seem to
be in considerable OF a mix. The INTEL
LIGENCER which has with wry face
taken TO Grant and Wilson, endorses
Jacob, Democrat, for reelection. The
Register, Democratic, goes against Jacob
and prefers some other Democrat Cam
den. The Daily Democrat seems to have
been a political necessity, to fill a void
occasioned by the INTELIIGENcER's milk
and water Republicanism.
The logic of this is that to supply this
city with Republicanism it was necessary
to start Democratic paper exclusively
devoted TO the reelection ofa Democrat
ic Governor. There seems to be "a void''
in the brains department Of the Herald
that needs filling very badly. Even milk
and water would be q striking improve
ment on the present vacuum.

THE letter Of our correspondent "S,"
who writes Of the New Greek meeting,
shows sad decentralization among the
OAMDENrTEs in that county. The chair.
man of the meeting, Mr. WEIGH, himself
a CAMDEN man, admitted that the Demo.
crats. there were about equally divided
between CAMDEN and JACOB. he went
further, and advanced the very heretical
and dangerous doctrine that man might
be for JACOB and still be a good Demo.
crat. That may be SO in Mineral, but it
is not orthodox among the CAMDEN party
here. According to the Register and its
echoes the Democrat who hesitates to
shout for CAMDEN is lost. II no supports
JACOB he is communicated at once and
branded US Radical" as. JACOB himself
is branded. lit be true as these fellows
insist that only Radicals support Mr..
JACOB, then the Radical party has grown
very much in the past few weeks and
promises to be the party Of the future in
this State. We remember that good
deal of reading out" was done in 1850
and 1870 by few self.righteous Republi.
can papers; and it did the Republican
party Of the State no good. Now the
very orthodox Democratic papers are
trying the same process on their party.
1t will work about the same way where.
everi Is tried, Whenever a party con.
cludes tits too large, the work of deple.
ton is easy. 1t has only to set It's fools to
work "reading out" A bull from the
Register against Mr.. WEIGH would be the
regular thing now. We judge Mr..
SHEET (our old friend GEORGE suEErz,
Of Piedmont, We presume) Is likewise in
some danger.
