II Is reported and believed in town
that, In response to Governor Powers
inquiry, addressed to Attorney Gcner-
al Morris, rs to the constitutionality of
the next election, he will give his opin-
ion that such election Is unconstituton-
al. Should he deliver that opinion,
Governor Powers will issue pr0cla-
nation prohibiting the election. This
will make the present kettle of fish
more chowdered than ii is at present.
If Powers stops the election it puts oil
the voting until the fall OF 1874.

Repairs of Two Wagons.

An exhibit has been made by the
New York Sun of the horse and wagon
account of the Treasury departmental at
Washington, From the official figures
it appears for repairs upon two wagons
and three harness, the expenses dur
ing the year 1872 nearly touched four
thousand dollars. The hOrsc-sh0eing
bill incurred by three horses that drew
those ,wo wagons has been published,
and amounts to over three hundred and
thirty-threc dollars for the year, the
single items ranging from iour TO thir-
ty-two dollars, When other items are
nut upon the same basis as the above,
it is no longer matter Of surprise
that the contingent expenses Of the
Treasury for the coming iiscalyear are
estimated at over S227,0O0, or nearly
the sum that was once sufficient to pay
all the Treasury expenses, si,,alies in

Another Revolution aud More
OulrageS on American
Citizens.

MArAMoRAs, September a. - The
Congress Of the State of Coahuilln II
III session at Saltillo Being opposed
to Governor Hepedo, who Is 1T the head
OF the national administration, they
were about electing DR.. Salos Governor,
when they suddenly broke up, on the
evening Of the 10th instant, fearing mn
attack from Xeped0, and lied to Mon
terey, in the State of NucYa Leon,
where an lnsurreclionary proclamation
was issued, and they left for Morieta-
via, in Coahuilla, where they propose
to establish State government, with
Sal0s ~ Governor.
1t Is supposed they visited Monterey
TO confer with the opponents to the
Federal Government there and with
the Revolutionists Of Nucva Leon aud
Coahuilla, and preclpilate REBEL
ion. The Government has ordered
troops from San Luis, Potosl, to oc-
cupy Saltlllo and Monterey.
The Nos Publico in an article to-day
admits that the State Congress had
fled from Saltillo. 1t denies that
General Rhoda had arrested General
Escobedo or pronounced against the
general government
BROWNSVILLE, September "A Sc
ries Of robberies and murders have been
recently committed on the citizens re-
siding and travelling in Mexican bor-
der States, which appear TO indicate
that the bandits select Americans as
their victims, either as retaliation for
General Mcken2ic's raid into the
Kickapoo camp and Mexico, or because
the authorities are so uniriendly to
Americans that such crimes can he
perpetrated without fear of punish
ment.
Within short time Mr.. Montgom-
cry was attacked, robbed, and left for
dead in his house in Monterey. Jose
Rivesei was beaten in his store in Ca
MARCO, and left for dead, but his as-
sailants were discovered in time to
prevent robbery; the Perdio family
were robbed on the highway near san
Fernando, and the women and chill
dren tied and left TO staVe in an I'M
frequented spot; Mr.. Henderson and
his companions were robbed, and one
killed near Clima two Americans
were attacked and one wounded in the
road near Marina, escaping only after
n desperate fight in which one oftheir
assailants was MORALLY wounded; DR.,
Hokarth was killed in his house and
the premises robbed, the perpe-
traitors of these crimes were arrested
and their guilt clearly established, eX-
cept in the Perdi case, yet not one of
them punished. The authorities being
either indifferent or powerless. These
facts have been proven before the
United States CounSuls, and sent to
Washington in hopes that redress will
be demanded.

In the camp and from them II was
learned that Buddlngton and his men

Is strongly believed that Buddington
made south, along the western shore

here and at the Greenland posts finds
great fault with Commander Green for
returning along the Upernavik coast
instead Of keeping over 10y the western

Improperly entered, on the ground that
so much cotton as this could not have
