TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK gs9aL0.

The HERALD correspondent in Matamoros
has forwarded us the following special de-
spatch:-
M,T,Monos, Mexico, April Is,
Via BROWNSVILLE, Texas, April l5, 1872.
Valdez, n robber chief who crossed into
Texas ut Piedras Neeras with arms and artil-
lery, arrived ut Laredo via San Antonio on
the 1st instant with forty men. Having
applied to General Augur for restoration
OF the arms which had been taken from them
by the United States authorities on entering
Texas, he received permission to reside at
Laredo until General Augur had commune
Gated with and received an answer from the
government in Washington.
Valdez thereupon established his camp
twelve miles above Laredo, and commenced
enlisting men, as he pretended, for the service
OF the Juarez government. He gave out that
he had General Augurs authority for so doing,
and had already raised 1G0 men, when Captain
Meyers, commanding the United States fort
Mcintosh, sent force against him and cap
tured forty-four men and some arms. Valdez
himself escaped.
VALDEZ PROMISES
There are several Americans and negroes
among the prisoners, who state that Valdez
had offered them as an inducement to enlist,
the privilege of sacking several towns in Mex
leo when captured. They say that 100 more
enlisted men are coming from the interior.
Several commissioned officers from Texas have
arrived in this city and had interviews with
the commander, General Palacios.
General Coriua is still outside Matamor6s.

pose of this law canuot be II 'staken.
1t IS designated to make 1t an object
for the owners of such claims as are
non productive. and on which work
is not carried on steadily, to patent
the same as matter of economy.
But there are other considerations
which should induce owners of

obtain a Government patent. 1t en-
hances the value OF the property,
and secures the title forever. there
by preventing expensive law suits
which. under the possesrory title ac-
Quired by the local laws, frequently
follow the Development of a good
mine. Many of the old locations
are two or three thousand feet in
length. and to maintain possessory
title only requires an annual expen-
diture OF two or three hundred dol
lars on each claim, but by obtaining
a patent, the probable cost of which
does not exceed $500, the title is Sc
cured forever. Under the present
law the amount Of labor necessary to
be expended on claim before pat
emf can be obtained, has been re-
duced from 81 900 to 800. and the

29th, and 31st inst.
AS Republicans, we have 10 objection to
his doing so. Nay, We are glad that he is
going to speak to the people he prescribed
and oppressed in 1861, and we trust they
who desire TO hear him, will do so calmly
and dispassionately. We apprehend, how
ever, that in the present temper of East
Tennesseans, he will hardly be able to at
tract sufficient numbers to justify any at
tempt at public speech.
But if he shall, contrary to the opinion
here expressed, succeed in collecting suf-
ficient AUDIENCES at any or all of the places
above mentioned, he will not be permitted
to speak alone. A gentleman of this city
will, we understand, be present and main
tain the opposite side of the question which
the Ex-Governor proposes to discuss. Come
along Isham, and we will have lively
time.

DEMOCRATIC FIEhNCIERING.

We have alluded on more than one OCca-
sion to Democratic financiering in Ten
nessee. We have shown how the State
has lost millions throegh the laundering
incapacity of Democratic leaders and the
villainous corruption of rings. We have
exposed the penitentiary lease, and neither
Gov. Brown nor any of his confederates
or admirers, have ever dared to deny that
it was made aUithout giving public notice,
or that it was leased for a less sum than
had been offered by responsible
parties. Another important feature
in Democratic financiering in Ten
nessee, consists in collecting hight
taxes without reducing the State debt.
Our State taxes have been as high under
Democratic administration as under Re
publican administration. Under Repub-
lican administration, the best system of
free schools was inaugurated, that we have
ever had in the State. Now the State
pays nothing for free schools. And yet in
three years of Democratic rule, not
single dollar of all the taxes
collected, has been applied to the
payment of the State debt or the interest
thereon. On the contrary, according to
Gov. Browns own statement, our debt is
increasing at the rate of one million tOo
hundred thousand dollars per annum.
The tax payers of Tennessee will begin
soon to realize some of the beauties of
Democratic fnanciering.

THE extent to which prejudice can warp

come by the constantly exaggerated stories

of the Congressional canvass there and says
that Col. Jno. H. Savage has list of ap-
pointments in the interest Of ''organiza-
tion," the object being to drive Democrats
into the support of Caldwell and Cheat
ham. A johnson or a Garrett Democrat
is regarded as something of a monstrosity
by that distinguished Democratic high

the Cheathamites over there to understand
that he is one of 'em. How will this suit
