Life on the Frontier.

BROWNSVILLE, October 1.-The late
reports Of the condition Of affairs on the
lower Rio Grand, have been too highly
eolored. Harry Gilpin swore before
the Frontier Commissioners that there
bas been 20 security there for the life
of an American citizen since the Mexi-
can war, aud that the Mexicsns regard
the State OF Texas as rightfully belong
ing to Mexico, and that they have q
right to take the State at any time. He
attributes the hostile feeling Of the
Mexicaus to this idea. Judge Stephen
Powers swore that the life OF an Ameri.
can citizen 10 not safe within the cor
porate limits Of Brownsville, outside
of the more settled portion OF the city,
which he attributes to the raids Of Cor
tinss in 1859, ever since which time
this insecurity has existed. Business is
dull in Matamorss, owing to the new
rate OF tariff. The Collector Of Customs
has issued . circular informing the
merchants OF that city that the general
government hss telegraphed, directing
him to permit them to ship goods into
the interior for thirty days longer,
under the old tariff Of 1856.

Notwithstanding the reports flying
about-it will doubtless have to be paid
promptly, perhaps this very day. since
the fortunes of the ring are in desper-
ate condition, and they are silly enough
to believe that a denial, even under
such suspicious circumstances, would
have weight. II he (Yerkes) should
now prove himself to have been brlbed,
even by 80 great boon as pardon

evening. They passed the following
relative to the use Of tobacco: !:
RESOLVED, That we earnestly request
all of our preachers to abstain from the
use Of tobacco; that we will receive no
one on trial in the Conference who uses
tobacco, unless be promises to abandon
its use that we will elect no one to
deacon's or elders orders who uses TO-
bscco; and that the Chairman Of the
Committee on Examination be requested
to report on the subject. We respect
fully request the bishop not to transfer

bishop, if it can be done without detrl-
ment TO the work. not TO appoint any

NEW GERMANY.
OF the eAntf-Ger rman Sen.
tfment IN Elsass and Lorraine.


A correspondent of the Cologne Ga.
sstte, writing from Elsass, sees liz the re-
ception accorded to Prince Frederick
Charles and Count Moltke evidence that
the people Of the annexed Departments
are beginning to look with less antips-
thy on their German conquerors, and
to accommodate themselves as best
they can to accomplished facts.
Last year when Gen. Won Werder
visited Strasburg, most Of the shops
were closed, or black flags were dis
played from the windows, while not q
single genuine citizen attended the
brilliant parade held in honor of the
German Emperor's birthday. The peo-
pie absolutely ignored Won Werder,
and refused to recognize his presence
among them. A little more curiosity,
indeed, yet it was but little more, was
shown when Marshal Won Moltke
visited Strasburg in the course Of
the summer. "As Moltke was pass,
ing through the street. says
the correspondent, asked q
townsman If that was Moltke. What
do I care? was the answer | received
in French. How different it ia now
When Prince Frederick Charles en-
tered Metz the streets were thronged
with immense multitudes, and curious
spectators also crowded the windows as
be pa-sed. In Mulhouse old and young
were afoot when M0ltke ehtnred and 1t
is known that the people fought for
fragments OF the glass out Of which he
drank beer. Ii will be replied, all this 10
mere curiosity. Granted. But it shows
that now, in contrast to the state OF
things a little while ago, curiosity ls
stronger than rancor, and is able to
overcome it. The correspondent goes
on to cay that many other circum-
stances tend to prove that the people
are giving up to the policy OF passive re-
sistance. While the BAchweiler manu-
tacturers some time ago replied to the
Government, in reference to the Rhine
Canal, that thew wanted nothing from
the Germans, not even canal, and
only wished to he let alone, German
news papers are now constantly consult
ed for information respecting doubtful
points of law, and on this or that de-
partment OF the Government. "The
people are beginning to parley," the
correspondent concludes, "and that
gives room 'or hope that they will 20
still urther."

The Pardon or Marcer and Yerkes

The Pardon OF Marcer ana Ierkes,
The pardonipg OF Marcer and Yerkes
by the Governor Of Pennsylvania, on
FRIDAY last, seems to have instantly be-
come connected with the pending cam
paign in that State. Msrcer. City
Treasurer Of Philadelphia, and Yerkes,
a broker, were convicted and sentenced
TO the Eastern penitentisry last winter
for embezzling the city funds. The al
legged connection Of Hartrapft, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, With
Yerkes, in suDdry unlawful speculatioos
at the expense Of the State, furnishes
ground upon which the matter is
now introduced into the canvass. Since
his release Yerkes has made a statement
denying the charges made against him
and General Hartranft, and the authen.
,icity of papers which have been issued
az evidence against him, and alleged TO
have been signed by Yerkes himself.
He adds that it is a base forgery.
Notwithstanding this. however, consid-
erable doubt has been thrown upon the
truth OF the statement Of the psrdoned
broker, and a suspicion provoked that
the release of the two men was obtained
at the instance OF Hartranft and his
friends, on condition that Yerkes would
make just such statement a. he has
made. In this connection the Philadel.
pbia Press says: -r.
"If the price OF their freedom is q
denial by Mr.. Yerkes Of his afidavits
and we are very loath 10 believe this,

Sensible View Of the Situation.

q leading Democrat OF the State OF
New York, Hon. John j. Taylor, while
he found nothing in the platform OF the
Cincinnati meeting to condemn, was
greatly disappointed in its nominations
ard did not believe the Baltimore Con-
vention would accept them, now writes
70 Colonel Samuel North that "as things
are, to support a new ticket would be
not only OF no avail, but its tendency
would be TO divide and distract the
Democratic party, to create enmity be-
tween those holding common political
faith, and to sow seeds Of dscord which
might spng up and grow in after years,
so a. to destroy our power TO enforce
the principles which we all deem essen
tial to the good OF the country" Those
are noble, sensible words, and worthy
the Democratic head and heart Of Mr.
Taylor. Among the reasons assigned
by Mr.. Taylor for supporting Mr.. Gree
lev we find the following:
81 am unable to see how any Demo-
crat can support Mr.. Grant. He has
been tried in the Presidential office and
found most lamentably wanting, 80 that
the best Of those who hel ped to elect
him can no longer support him. Mr..
Cireelev has not been tried, and whether
we have much or little faith that his
Administration will be successful, 1t ls
wiser to accept the chance there is than
to elect a man who has already proved
a failure.
Certainly the election OF Mr.. Gree
ley would, more than that OF Mr..
Grant, tend to the preservation and su.
premacy OF those principles which you
and | have always regarded as cOnsu-
tuung the true theory Of our govern.
mental system. Especially would the
administration OF Mr.. Greeley, owing
its existence and receiving it's support
from them, it must be more favorable
to the right of local selfgovernment as
opposed 10 the ceutralizing tendencies
OF our opponents. This is not only q
live issue, but one which has existed
since the formation OF the United
States Government, and must always
exist so long as that Government lasts.
The strong tendency OF the present Ad
ministra,ion toward the destruction Of
all local or State Government, and to
Capitalization and the exercise Of des.
potic power makes it bow the living is
sue OF more consequence than any
other, in fact involving almost all
others

ing the territory occupied by the Ger
man troops indicate the intention OF
Germany to evacuste there sooner than
was expected. 1t is generally believed
that this move is the result Of the recent
Emperors' conference in Berlin, at
which the situation OF France was made
the subject of discussion, and it is be-
lieved more considerate policy toward
France was decided upon. The an
nouncement OF the above intention on
the part of Germany is not officially
promulgated. but there is every reason
to believe that the evacuation will COM

until completed.
