ported that Attorney General VIII

Williams will be asked to serve as
President Of tho Commission for the
adjudication of the Alabama claim
that Congress is expected to establish.
Mexican Aggression.
The Rio Grande Commission repre-
sents that tho truth Of the disorders on
the Texan frontier has not yet been
half told, and that Mexico is In every
instance the aggrcssor. A Mexican
Commission was appointed to make
examination also into the alleged dis
orders, and it is said Its report Is an
tagonistlc to the American Commits
sion. 1t takes the ground that the dis
order results from the disorganized
condition of society, that they have
American rs we'll rs Texan leaders,
and intimatcs that the American Com
mission Is always brlbed to make out a
case against Mexico. The Mexican
Minister is charged with a compromise
of the border difficulty, and empow-
cred to promote a special Convention,
with power to a~djudlcate upon the dis

whisky Frauds.
New York, October ia hearing
was begun yesterday before the United
States Commissioner, of the party
charged with whisky frauds In 1876,
which the assistant United States at
torney attempted 10 make a private

he was, the general opinion appeared
to be that the United States had gained
a great victory. The deliberations OF
the Judges were secret simply because
they did not want to have their discus
sions broken into by anybody.
Exodus from AIsnce md Lorraine.
Mail advices from Alsace and Lor-
raine represent that the exodus will
tend to wholly depopulate those coun-
tries. a large number have left With
out taking more than a part Of their
belongings with them, and a still
larger number have left hcarths and
homes with some clothes hung on the
end Of n stick, the wife carrying the
youngest children and the rest trudg-
Ing behind. In Metz, it Is said, there
are only seventeen recruits remaining,
all unfit for service. At Atzcrma, In
Alsace, n town Of six thousand inhab-
itants, there are only thirty-one quail
fled for service. Eighteen thousand
arc alleged to have left Metz during
the last fortnight, reducing the poprl-
lation of the town to ten thousand,
exclusive of twenty-five thousand Ger
man troops, who keep watch and ward
over them. In Havrc, which does not
seem q very likely place to have any
large number of Alsatians and Lor-
rainnes, the number who have chosen
French nationality reaches fourteen
hundred. These facts are evidently
making an impression upon the Ger
mans.
