and agreed TO deposit with one OF their
number, on the first day Of each month,
$40 each, the fetal TO be. divided among
the members of the association who, on
the 1st of January, 1872, should prove to
have been faithful to their pledge. One
by one the members baclislid and yielded
TO the liquid temptation, until only sim
gle individual was LEFT, who at noon on
New Years day was to receive 81 400.
This Abdicl, faithful found among the
laithless, proceeded TO the rendezvous at
thu appointed hour. He waited until ten
minutes after noon, and then thought he
would run into the saloon next door and

that he had lost all the money playing

THE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO
The Investment of San Luis Potosi.

New ORLEANS, February 24-MATA.
MoKAs, Feb. 23.-The city Of San Luis
Potosi has been the objective point with
the revolutiOnists for some time past. All
their available forces are concentrated
there, leaving only sufficient in the cities
north Of Legra Madra to garrison them.
Guerra, Monterey and Trevinos troops,
amounting to 10000, arc besieging San
Luis Potosi which is defended by General
Rocha, the best officer adhering to the
government, who thus far is unable to
free himself from the besiegers. Rumors
Of his surrender prevail to-day, but moth
ing reliable is known Of the surrender. It
Is probable, should Rocha capitulate, that
Northern Mexico will be lost to Juarez.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 25.-MATAMoRAs
Feb. 24.-A courier extraordinary arrived
here tonight from San Luis Potosi, with
letters TO the 10th inst, confirming the
the previously reported death OF General
Dias, in the mountains OF Querrctcro on
the 18th inst, from dysentery. Dias' fol-.
lowers proclaimed for Lerdo Teiado or
Guseman for President. The Juarez gov
ernment Is said TO have published new
tariff, which abolishes the zona libra on
the frontier. Gen. Correlia has four thou.
saud government troops inside of San
Louis Potosi,, while Gen. Rocha has $500,
with "a pieces Of artillery, outside, sup.
porting Correllia. Gen. Guerra, with
1000 revolutionists, confronts Gers.
Correlia and ltoCha. Severe fighting has
occurred, without any decisive result,
both parties maintaining their ground.
NEW YORK, February 25.-A special
from Matamoras, FEBRUARY Esd, seys Gcn'l
Portugal, the revolutionary Gova, of
Agas Calientas, occupied the city Of that

lutionistS.
A special from Brownsville, Texas,
of the 29d, reports that the cattle stealing
on tho Rio Grande has vigorously recon.
menced. Great indignation prevails
among stock raiscrs.
The Collector or Customs, who ia Nlso
Special Civil Representative orthe Juarist
Government, announces his intention Of
sinking an American river steamer if it
clears thence, for Camargo, which is
now in possession of the Revolutionists.
An international difficulty is likely TO
arise out Of this question. The commNn.
der at AGatamoras would oppose this, but
Cortinas, who is irresponsible, and who
hates the Americans, would readily assent
to the suggestion Of the Collector, General
Barrey, the American collector here,
refuses to give clearance papers until he
receives instructions from Washington.
If the vessel eventually clears difficulty Is
certain. Many merchants are here from
the interior, who are anxious to send their
bonded goods into Mexico, and are
urging the clearance of tho vessel 10

TIE investigation by the Kansas Leg.
islature into the charges of bribery and
corruption in the election Of United States
Senators from that State has come to an
end. and the result is a very strong case
against both the Senators now in Con.
gress from that State. Our Topeka news
this morning indicates that the disclosures
have made "a profound sensation there,
and shows that one consequence has
been sudden revolt among influential
Republicans who declare against the re.
nomination Of Grant and propose to send
a strong delegation to the Cincinnati Con.
'vention. The Legislature proposes 10
certify the facts Of the Senate; and It is
to be hoped that body will institute a
prompt and vigorous inquiry TO deter.
mine whether Pomeroy and Caldwell are
fit to occupy seats in that place.

The Columbus Labor Nominations.

The Columbus Labor Nominations.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
The Labor Convention held at Colum.
bus on the 22d was more fully attended
and more representative In character than
any former gathering around q kindred
platform. OF the candidates for President
and Vice President presented thereby, il
is but simple justice 10 say that they are
men of decided ability and of National
reputation. David II. Davis, of Illinois,
the nominee for President, was OF old q
Wing, and has been since 1854 q Repub.
lican. HG was Abraham Lincoln's next
friend, and was most influential in secur.
ing his nomination for President at Chi
cago in 1860. MIR. Lincoln in turn nom
mated him for a Justice OF the United
States Supreme Court, and he has served
in that capacity with eminent ability and
usefulness. Joel Parker, the nominee for
Vice Presinent, is the present Governor OF
New Jersey, elected last fall by six thou.
sand majority, and lifelong Democrat.
Neither Of these candidates has hitherto
been identified with the distinctive Labor
organization.
But the most important outcome of this
Convention is its stand on the Tariff
question. We cannot be mistaken in as.
suming that large majority of its mem.
hers have never acted with the Republican
party; yet its resolve looking to Protec.
tion is strong enough for us; hence, we
infer, strong enough for almost any one.
Considering its source, we hail this resolve
as justifying our conviction that the Pro.
tective policy Is neither to be abandoned
nor overthrown. Powerful interests are
arrayed against it; formidable combina.
tions threaten it; but the instincts OF La.
Dor with regard 10 it are emphatically
sound and right.

he paid OF this over ten per cent TO EX
Gov. Carney that he several times offer.
cd to refund TO Clarke all his expenses il
he (Clarke) would withdraw from the

Caldwell used bribery and other corrupt
and criminal practices by himself and
his friends, with his full knowledge and
consent to secure his election to the U.
s. Senate. There was an organized effort
made from the commencement to keep
the important witnesses out Of the way,

that the report of the Bribery Investiga.

there, and the general impression seems
to be that the fate OF Senator Pomeroy

that at large meeting Of the Liberal

and denounced Pomeroy and Caldwell
In regard TO the latter, he said he

IL an investigation was ordered in the

Proposed New Territory Of oJibway.

From the Virginia City New Enterprise, Jan. 81.
The now Territory Of OIIbway, which
II Is proposed 10 set oil in the northern
part Of Dakoka, will contain about "a 900
square miles, being nearly one.half the
present area Of Dakota. Tho new terri.
tory contains large area Of fertile aud
well.watered lands, but It's inhabitants
consist as yet almost entirely Of Indians.
Il will be crossed midway, however, by
the Northern Pacific Railroad, which will
build up settlements and towns rapidly
along It's route, and from tho line OF the
railroad population and agricultural tic.
velOpment will be 1lllused in all dircc.
tlons. The existing white population of
Dakota, numbering about $4,000, is con.
centrated chiefly in the southern part Of
the Territory, its capital, Yankton, being
at the mouth Of the James river; and n
vast wilderness intervenes between these
settlements and the country, which will
attract the attention of emigrants who
follow the line Of the new railroad.
