soon be heard which may indicate some
thing of the prospects Of his mission.
There is every reason to believe that the
Apaches will be ready for the war-path
as soon as the grass shall have grown

pie of that region desire that General
Howard shall be permitted TO anticipate
their movements, and strike the frst
blow. Much hope is reposed in the ef-
forts Of Howard here, though it is well
understood that there are difficulties in
his way which arduous labor only can
overcome.
Secretary Fish is now engaged in pre-
pairing an order board on the new civil

will indorse at its meeting next Thurs

Troubles ON the Border,

Some days since Coroner Mofatt,
armed with writ of possession issued
BY the Supreme Court, went down to the
debatable ground on the Tennessee and
Mississippi line, in order to eject ten
ant who refused 10 do homage to his
landlord in Tennessee, preferring to ac-
knowledge his liege lord in Mississippi,
both parties having claims on the land
and insisting that it was in their respect
i've States. The tenant acknowledged
the Tennessee landlord and asked a few
days to make arrangements to move out
On the day appointed for him to leave
the land, the Mississippi landlord armed
with a writ issued by Circuit Judge
Fisher, and aided by several deputy
sherifrs, lay in ambush on the debatabie
ground in order to catch our coroner and
his posse and carry them to Pamela for
trial on the charge of trespassing on the
territory of Mississippi The coroner,
however, did not go down, believing
that the tenant had moved out, as per
agreement. We have been informed
that since that time the Governor of
Mississippi has issued requisition on
the Governor OF Tennessee for the bodies
of Coroner Mofatt and posse, on the
charge Of invading and trespassing upon
the sacred soil of our sister State. The
writ has not as yet been returned from
Nashville for service The Governor
will probably return the facts to the
Legislature, and suggest a settlement Of
the boundary line controversy.

The San Francisco Bulletin (Repub

The San Francisco Bulletin (hepub-
ican) says of the income tax;
The most positive assurances were
given more than a year ago that the last
Federal income tax had been collected.
Prominent members of Congress took
this view Of the case, and the country
had settled down to the opinion that no
more demands of this kind would be
made. But for some time past there has
heen a remarkable reticence touching
this matter at Washington. We now
learn that the blanks for this income tax
have not only been printed, but they
have reached the revenue offices on this
coast. The duties of assessing incomes
nominally began on the LIST of March,
but we believe little has been done up to
this time. 1t has been shown over and
over again that the income tax is not
only vexatious, but that it is no longer a
necessity. Ii the party now IN power
choose to enforce this tax in the teeth
of pledges made, il will be forced to
rise and explain very often during
the next canvass.

MORE MYSTERY.

This leaves the matter in deeper mys-
terry than ever. The man was found
dead in the woods near Horn Lake, a
bullet hole through his head, an empty
single-barreled pistol in his hand, a
folded handkerchief under his head, the
palm of his hands burned as if he
had fallen in a camp fire previ-
Gus to his death, the remains of
camp-fres in the vicinity, and other cir
eumstanoes, go to show that it was i'm
possible for hip 10 have committed sui
eide. That he was "taken off " by some
person is very clear, but that person has
disappeared as If the earth had swal-
lowed him. The matter is enshrouded
in darkest mystery, and not n single
clue now exists to point toward any per
son as the probable perpetrator of the
murder. The police have been on the
wrong scent, and il is impossible to run
the back track at the present time. Like
the Nathan-New York murder, no one
can lift the veil that hangs low over the
mystery; from the lips of the dead no
sound issues, and no living lips have as
vet given utterance TO a single word
that can throw any light upon the bloody
deed. We yet think the missing links
could be found BY an exhaustive investi-
gation-one that would take ability
perseverance, time and money.
