The New York World has an editorial

enough to nominate Charles Francis Adams
as candidate for President the Democratic
party will indorse that statesman with
universal acclamation. In that case it will

be OF little consequence whether the DEM
ocratic National Convention was held or
not. A convention would merely rat,fy
the fOregone conclusion of the Dem
ocratic masses. If Charles Francis Adams
is nominated, the Democratic party
will support him without waiting for the
formal Endorsement of their assembled dele
gates. He is one Republican whom the,
Democrats can support without condoning
anything or making any apologies. His
name is an all-sufhcient recommendation
both to the Democrats and Liberal Republi-
cans. We can all unite upon HIM without
the slightest sacrifice of self-respect-with-
out feeling astonished, much less degraded.
at finding ourselves in the same company
The World concludes by saying: "We
think 1t fair to make this statement for the
information of the Cincinnati convention,
but that body must be guided by its own
judgment, as the Democratic party must
also be guided by its independent Judgment
IN indorsing or repudiating the Cincinnati
ticket.n

there is good foundation tor the statement
that the administration has already aban-

bama question; that the Secretary of State
has written to General Schenck, expressing
his regret at the misunderstanding that has
arisen, saying that the claims for indirect
damages were inserted in the case be-
cause We conceive we had right to
include them under the treaty that
they can not be amended or withdrawn
because the treaty contained no provision
for amendment Of the case, except by
counter case, but that we expected no

in interest, both of us and of England, we
desire that none may be made, and in con-

ours, we hope her majesty's government
will permit arbitration to go forward. If,
now, the British ministry should refuse to

WASHINGTON, April 26.-John j. Moulton
has been confirmed postmaster at Mobile.
The resolution in regard to Howard
passed by vote of l43 to 43. with the pre-
amble amended to read, Whereas, it is
alleged"
Mr.. Davies opposed the concurrent reso-
luton to adjourn the twenty ninth Of May.
Mr.. Garfield, chairman of the Appropria-
ton Committee, said that the bills the COM
mittee had could not properly be disposed
of by May %. The chairman of other COM
mittees opposed fixing the time for adjourn
ment.
The motion to adjourn May % was re-
jected by vote of LOG to 80.
Mr.. Butler reported bill removing
10000 political disabilities, which was or
dered printed, and recommended.
Mr.. Wheeler gave notice that he would,
next Monday, move to suspend the rules to
take up the Senate bill in relation to the
Texas Pacific railroad.
The tariff bill was taken up, with the un-
derstanding that debate would close Fri
day next.
The minority report of the House Com
mittee of Postoffices and Post Roads report
that the Red river mail was unnecessary,
and the price paid extravagant. 1t is un-
derstood in postotfice circles that the OppO-
sition to Kouns' contract on Red river has
been withdrawn.
Senate-Yesterday the Senate in COM
mittee adopted Mr.. Morrilps amendment to
the deficiency appropriation bill, restricting
the Jurisdiction of the court of claims in
suits for the value of captured and aban-
doned property to cases which were COM
menced within two years after the sup
preston of the rebellion, etc.
To-day the Senate refused by yeas 81,
navs &c, to concur in the amendment.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen moved to reconsider
the vote rejecting Mr.. Morrill's amendment
about the court Of claims. The motion
was pending when the Senate adjourned.

Trade with Mexico.

We copy the following from the Browns.
vile Ranchero
The Laredo Tco Eagles comments upon
the proposed change in the collection dis
tricts Of Southern Texas, contending that
goods from New Orleans will reach Mexico
cheaper by way Of Rockport and Corpus
Christi than via Brownsville. The ItUO
Eagles does not inform us what portions of
Mexico it alludes to. There is no doubt
that Brownsville, the only important city
ON the second largest river of the United
States, and most favorably situated, near
its mouth, is the natural outlet for the vast
Northern Mexico; certainly as far as San
Luis, Lagos and Zacatecas. Within a very
short period the United States will
be compelled to improve the navi-
cation of. the important Grande
river, by removing the obstructions
above Roma. A slight outlay only is re-
quired to enable light draft boats not only
to reach Laredo but go many miles beyond,
and this at all tiMes. The writer of this
has upon several occasions, when travelling
along the river, made it his business to ex-
anime the river Instructions, and gather in
formation regarding them. A careful esti-
mate fixes the amount necessary for the re-
mOyal of obstructions from the mouth to
Laredo, at not exceeding $l5O,00O. The
writer is not prepared to speak as positively
of the river above Laredo. But he is in
formed that to clear the Rio Grande of OBJ
structions to Eagle Pass and beyond will
not require great outlay.
An appropriation was made many years
ago III Congress for the removal of Obstruc-
tions. The condition was, however, at
tached, that Mexico should make CORE
spending appropriation. We have now
good reason to believe that the subject of
river improvements will occupy Congress
before adjournment.
Another advantage that Brownsville will
soon possess will be in railroads. The first
railroad in Northern Mexico will certainly
be between the neighboring city of Mata-
moras and Monterey. A railroad along the
gulf coast of Mexico will, perhaps, be the
second. The predominating Importance Of
the cities of Matamoras and Brownsville in
the entire valley will secure us internal i'm
provements before other places on the river.
The railroads subsidized by the last Legis-
lature of Texas will never be built, unless
the incorp0rators, ETC., will construct them
without subsidy. The next Legislature will
overthrow many of the outrageous subsidies
with which we have been burdened.
We find, then, that Brownsville has an
the chances in her favor to continue the
natural outlet Of an immense and lmpor-
tant back country.

THE CITY HALL.

The Mayor and the Russian representation
are continuing their inspection OF the pris-
ons and corrective asylums iii the city. 1t
is matter Of regret that in this respect we
have nothing to refer to with pride. No city
in the country is SO destitute in this particu-
lar as New Orleans. Nevertheless. it is
right that our visitors should be made ac-
quainted with such as.we have.
A frame building erected by a Reform
club at the corner of St. Charles and CALI
ope streets is isreported in contravention with
the city ordinances relating to wooden
buildings within certain limits.
A blacksmith shop on Washington street.
between Rousseau and St. Thomas streets,
having been complained of as nuisance,
the police department has investigated the
matter and ascertained that the shop has
been in existence for thirty years, under
three proprietors, who have died there, and
that the shop is now run by a fourth party,
who rents it from the widow of the last de-
ceased owner.

the string, Morrissey in the lead, having

the string, MOrrissey in the lead, having
done the first mile in 2:32.
On the second mile Morrissey again went
to the front. Lolita was inclined to break,
but soon gathered up her heels and gained
little in pretty trot Morrissey, all the
time, was travelling smoothly, somewhat
ahead of the mare. Arriving at the string,
Morrissey showed space Of about six
lengths ahead of Lotta, making the two
miles in 5:09.
First mile, second heat, Morrissey got a
neat start, leading trifie when at the first
quarter, the first named keeping in front,
but the two going evenly. Before reaching
the three-quarter pole Morrissey began to
open the space, but Lotta grew ambitious
on the home stretch, and when at the stand
Morrissey was not far ahead. Time 2:39.
Going off on the next mile, Morrissey
seemed inclined to get his anger up, when
Lotta gained something. However, she
was not able to cope with the horse, although
she gained on him at the halfmile pole.
MorrisseY passed under the string in 5:13k.
The SECOND race was for all horses that
harness and rule; premium, $50; first horse
800, second horse $50, third horse to save
his entrance.
-Four animals came to the stand, all fine
looking coursers, ready for good race.
Frances, Johnson's gelding, Laird Claire
and Roach's b. b. Frances seemed the
favorite, and made good friends from the
start, getting under the string first on the
first mile, the gelding second, Claire third
and Roach's entry last. Time for mile
2:4lA. On the second mile Claire woke up,
making the string first in 2:44.
The remainder of the race was to Frances,
although some of the others pushed her.
Time for last mile-2:45A.
LOUISIANA HONEY.
One of the features with the awarding
committee yesterday at the State fair was
the inspection of beehives and honey.
There were several entries, only one by a
Louisianian, Mr.. Hereford, of West Baton
Rouge. This gentleman was formerly su-
gar planter, but at present gives all his at
tention to live stock and bees. He pur-
chased some Italian bees, which have multi
piled greatly to his satisfaction. Within
less than a year he sold 1900 pounds Of
honey, which brought him twenty-five cents
per pound, besides disposing of several
queens at good prices. He finds that this
branch is SO profitable and pleasant that he
intends to give it his entire attention.
Power Hall will be in full operation TO-
day from ten o'clock A. M. to six O'Clock
P. NJ. At IL A. NJ. there will be trial of
cotton gins, and as there are four entries,
doubtless considerable excitement will fol-
low. At noon, Q trial Of corn mills, for
which Mr. B. T. Walshe has offered a hand
some special premium. At four o'clock
p. NJ. the races begin. Mr.. Roach has en-
tered Idol aad BelI Mr.. Fulton has entered
Nelly Day and mate; Mr. johnson has en-
tered Molly and Wick. After the racing
Mr.. Weston, the pedestrian, will take a
walk. At six o'clock the boys will find
sport. and furnish some, in tournament,
which will please the school children in at
tendance.
