| sustain Col. Mackenzie unreservedly in carry

ACROSS the line and giving thor defeat the FIN

termined to treat Mexico as an accessory If

son has recalled all the legal-tenders out
standing of those Illegally reissued by tho

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: 1t is stated
| positively that the Government will sustain
Col. McKenzie's pursuit and punishment Of
| the Kickapoos on Mexican territory, and there
is reason to doubt that the recent visit of the
| Secretary of Wa to Texas had for its main
object the arrangement and authorization of
this plan for putting q stop to Indian depreda-
ions along the Mexican frontier. The
Postofice Department has suspended the
printing of postal cards for the reason that

A WASHINGTON dispatch states that counsel
for the defendants in the Credit Mobilier suits
| will, in a few weeks, file a demurrer for 3 bill
in equity, taking the ground that the act I'M
der which the bill is drawn is unconstitutional,
and that Congress cannot enact for the benefit
of the Government what il denied to indi-
| yidual suitors that the act is in direct viola
| ton of the existing q W under which
the defendants have a right to ask
for protection, and until they are placed on
an equality with the plaintiff, there can be
no equitable proceedings. This will carry
the case to the Supreme Court. 1t is admit
| ted that the objection of the defendants may
quash further proceedings. Postmaster
General Creswell has examined the postal
| code, to see if it would admit of the free
transmission of newspaper exchanges and
Of newspapers published within the county,
and has come to an adverse conclusion. -.
The President has received q dispatch from
one Asa Howard. of California, offering to

ing terms: 81 am to have his head if it is
necessary to kill him in taking him; or il taken
alive, I an to have the privilege Of exhibiting
him throughout the United States during the
period of one year. The enterprising pro-
jector adds: "This, 1 think, will end the
Indian question and the war carried on in the
interest of spectators" IA Washington dis
patch informs US that q solution Of the
Louisiana problem is offered by the Congress-
men of the st. Louis Convention who have re-
turned from their visit to New Orleans. They
propose that a new election be held, under the
supervision Of acommission appointed by Con-
gross, and that, in the meantime, the State be
put under military rule.
The parties who bid for the contracts for
Indian supplies, and who allege that while
their bids were lower than others they were
not accepted, intend to carry the matter before
Congress. TIN Secretary Of the Treasury
has directed the Assistant Treasurer at New
York to give notice that during the month of
June he will purchase $500, 900 bonds on the
first and third Wednesdays each, and will sell
81, 0OO, 600 gold on the first and third Thurs
