A SPECK OF WAR.

peared in the san Diego D0aty
Union of the 25th, gave in detail
the official intelligence from
Washington, that "Col. Mckenzie
was surprised in camp 80 miles
from Fort Clark, Texas, by band
of Kickapoo Indians, on the 18th
inst; and that an engagement
ensued, in which Is of the red
NfeXicans went down to rise no
more, and AZ were captured, with
loss,2 men. The fighting was done
on Mexican soil, and our troops
were fired on while crossing
the Rio Grande.-The Kickapoos
had formed an alliance with the
Mescaiero, Galanero and Lipan
Indians, all of whom had made a
treaty with the Mexicans, by the
terms of which all stock stolen
in Texas and brought into Mex
leo they are to brand, thus pre-
venting its recovery by American
Owners.-Our Government will be
in no haste to apologize to Mex
leo, for we recollect the cOntinu-
Gus raids of MeXicans into Texas
since the close of the late war;"
Il is safe to say that the whole
population of the Mexican bank
Of the Rio Grande live by period
zeal thefts of cattle and horses
out of TeXaS.-fPresident Grant
has for a long time entertained an
idea of bringing Mexican affairs
to crisis, and it is probable that
Mckenzie has afforded him an
Opportunity.-The position is Ia
ken in administration circles that
our Government is bound to pro-
tect its citizens"
This is cheering news indeed,
for it is notorious fact that the
United States have not done
it since the rebellion, at least not
abroad.
The damages now claimed by
the citizens of Texas will, with
Mexico's previous debt, probably
reach s5O,o0O,OOO, to say nothing
of the losses of citizens of New
Mexico, in rebuttal of which will
be offered the Sonora claims for
a considerable amount. When we
consider that in 1870 the admins
tration Of her so-called govern
ment cost Mexico, according to
Minister Romero's report, $685.
100000, against receipts of $19,-
100000, we can understand all
about the annexation of Lower
California, Sonora, Sinaloa, Chi
huahua and perhaps Durango,
which has heretofore been spoken
of in indefinite terms. If Mex
leo hasn't money, she has plenty
Of land, and if we read Alright the
signs of the times. she is soon to
be called upon by the United
States to pay her debt in one or
the other, and that too ia no
equiyocal manner.

WASHINGTON, Februry 1O.-The Spe-
Cial Committee OF the Senate, Of which
Senator Morrill, Is Chairman, met this
afternoon. Oakes Ames was recalled.
He testified that the first he ever heard
about the checks given Harlan was from
Harlan himself, who came TO him one day
in the cloak room Of the House and said
he wanted TO return $4,000 10 tho Pa.
ciac Railroad Company. Witness told
him he knew nothing about it. Harlan re.
piled that his attention had been called
to it by Alley, and il the money came
from the road he wanted to return 1t.
Harlan seemed much worried about the
matter. he thought John 3. Alley could
give more information in reference TO
the check given Harlan than any one
else.
In answer 10 questions, by Clark, the
witness, testified that the Pacific Rail.
road never made any demands on Harlan
for money. The witness thought in the
account OF Durant it had never been
settled; he did not remember OF it con-
tanning an item for this check. Durant
was Vice President and General Manager
OF the road, and had absolute control OF
it; he did not know how Durant got
money out Of the Treasury of the com.
pany. The witness did not remember
disclosing to either Dawes or Bartlett
the conversation between himself and
Harlan about $4,000. Charles Il.
Crane, Of New York, will be examined
tomorrow.

adds that "it Is the divine idea which
cxcites the animosity Of Forney, Seduc-

Tweedism, Credit Mobilierism-anythiDg

There are some doubts as to Cloggetrs
appointment, there being no such infor.
nation by the Western Union line. Clog

juncture the displacement Of Governor
Woods will be much regretted by even
the most radical Gentiles.
