Too MoDRsr. The Washington Pa.
triot says: ''The deficiency bill of S27.-
OO0, lately introduced in the House. to
remedy the costs OF the Ku Klu1 inyesti-
cation in South Cnrolina and elsewhere.
is entirely too modest. Such bill. to
be honest and effective, ought to provide
Tor the lost cotton crop in nine Counties
IN South Carolina; for damages for false
imprisonment of hundreds OF innocent
and unofending citizens, and for COM
pensation for the grief, terror and disor-
ganization occasioned to ut least ono
poor County which was, oonfessedly bv
mistake, embraced in tho Presidents
proclamation Of outlawry. Let mem
bers see to it and have this bill properly
amended"

The Russian Mission Advanced to the FRS
CIass-A Graceful Act of Friendship.

The Russian Mission Advanced to the First
Class-A Graceful Act of Friendship.
In the Diplomatic Appropriation bill which
passed the House of Representatives on Friday,
the Russian was placed among the first class
missions, our Minister'S salary to be $17, 800.
Before the late Franco German war our first
class missions were only two-those of Eng
land and France. The results Of the late war
having enlarged the national government of
Berlin from that of Prussia to that of the
powerful German empire, the mission to Ber
lin was recently advanced to our first class.
Now Russia is very properly added to the
number. Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, however,
opposed the motion. He Is too good demo-
crat to grant any favors or compliments to
Russia, that ''hoary-headed old despotism,
whose whole career had been one Of despotism
and the crushing out of the rights of mankind"
He "did not know of one friendly act on the
part of Russia towards the United States"
and he ''did not know Of government on the
face of Gods green earth with which our rela-
tions should be more restricted" than with this
''prOIOuuu duu duSOiusC uOsPV1oihs
OF course these profound remarks Of Mr..
Holman were o.lly intended for buncombe in
Indiana, and the simple and astonishing facts
recited by General Banks, of the great pro-
gress of Russia in civilization, emancipation,
general enlightenment and liberal ideas, and
of her valuable friendship for the United
States when the governments of England
and France were against us in our great
struggle for the life of our nation. settled the
question, and the amendment, without further
debate, was adopted. This is graceful act
Of friendship towards friendly Power that
has never betrayed us, while simply as a
question Of diplomatic consistency the claims
Of Russia to be ranked with England, France
and Germany, cannot be denied. In the face
Of such acts of "a happy accord" as this all
such nonsense as the diplomatic imbroglio
between Mr.. Fish and Prince GortschakofI
about Mr., Catacazy signifies nothing.

Progress of the Mexican Revolutionists--
Our Latest Dispatches from Mntamoros.
From our special advices by telegraph from
Matamoros on the 23d instant we learn that
the revolutionary Governor of Aguas Calientes
occupied that important city on the 18th that
the revolutionary army of General Trevino
before San Luis Potosi is rapidly increasing,
and that on the 18th small Jaurista, or gov
eminent force, pronounced, or went over to
the other side at Guanajuato; that cattle steal
ing by the Mexican moss troopers had actively
recommended on the United States side of the
Rio Grande, exciting great indignation among
bur frontier stock raisers; that an international
issue is likely to arise touching the clearance
of river merchant steamer at Matamoros,
which is in the hands of the Juarists, for Ca
MARCO, up the river, which is occupied by the
revolutonists and that there is hitch be-
tween the Mexican and United States officials
concerned in this affair at Matamoros which
can only be settled by instructions from WASH
ington.
We are at peace with Mexico. Our govern
ment deals with that of Juarez and knows
nothing of these revolutionists. Therefore,
if the authorities, military and civil, of Jua-
rez, at Matamoros, object to the clearance of
q trading steamer for Camargo, town occu-
pied by Mexican insurgents and object on the
ground that the goods of said steamer will be
