MURDER AND Robbery.
Condition of Affairs on the Frontier
Americans the Victims-A Sc
we're Retaliation for
McKenZie's Raid.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, September "a
A series Of rObberies and grand mur-
ders have recently been committed on
United States citizens residing and trav-
cling on the Mexican border, the state of
which appear to indicate that the BAN
dts select Americans as their victims
either as retaliation for General Me-
Kenzie's raid into the ESickapoO camp,
or because the authorities are 50 un-
friendly to Americans that such crimes
can be perpetrated without fear Of pun
ishment. Within q short time Mr..
Montgomery was robbed and left for
dead in his house in Monterey. Jose
Ravezie was beaten in his store in Cam
argo and left for dead, his assailants
being discovered in time TO prevent a
robbery. The Perdie family were
robbed on the highway, near San
FERNANDO, and the men, women
and children were left to starve in an
unfrequented spot. Mr.. Henderson and
two companions were robbed and enc of
them killed, in Chila. Two Americans
were attacked and one OF them wound
ed in road near Marionia, escaping
only after desperate fight, in which
one of their assailants was mOrtally
wounded. DR.. Haggarty was killed in
his house near Auguestas, and the prem
ises robbed. The perpetrators of these
crimes were arrested and their guilt
clearly established, except in the Perdie
case. Not one of them have been pun
ished, the authorities being Indifferent
or pOwerless. These facts have been
proven before the United States consul
and sent to Washington, In hopes that
a redress will be demanded.

withdrew from this association, the Con-
gregatOnalists sustaining the board. The
fOIeign secretary read repOrton foreign
work. During the year the board received
fifteen specific calls for as many yOur g
men to 90 as missionaries TO Japan. Re

NORTON, THE FORGER.
A Bit Of Mystery Surrounding the LO--
isEille Robbery that will be
Difficult TO Clear up.

LOUIsvILLE, September 24-It has
trsnspired that farmer nanled Hughes,
e1ming into Charleston, Indiana, ON
the morning after the recent forgeries on
the banks here, met 9 man answering
the description Of the man Norton, the
iorger, walking along the road, who
asked 10 ride, and was conveyed to the
Bethlehem road, where he started Off on
foot toward MauisOn, Indiana. One Of
his hands was badly hurt, and both
hands were scraped and swollen as If
by fall. He is now believed to be the
party who has the six thousand FIVE
hundred dollars got At the Farmers, and
Drovers' bank on September 18TH, and
Whojumped oRthe train Jefsrsonville.
He doubtless took the mail boat at Mad
is and went to Cincinnati. The ex-
animation Of Norton comes off to-m0r-
row. There is q good deal O, mystery
about the robbery. Both OF the men
were dressed alike and resembled each
other, and it il thought that the cashiers
Of the robbed banks cannot swear to the
recognition Of Norton. Several other
banks were visited by these men the
same day, without success; and one
cashier states that the same party en-
tered the Office two years ago with q
New York check for thirteen thousand
dollars; but on Identification being de-
nlanded, he withdrew.

AGRICULTURAL.
September Reports OF the Bureau OF
Agriculture at NaShingtOa-An
UnTaTOrabIe Showing.

WASHINGTON, September 24.-The
crop reports Of September received in
the statistical division of the department
Of agriculture present an average o.
uinety-five for the condition of the
wheaJ crop as a whole, which is about
the same as ia the September report o.
1872, while the present area in cultivs-
lion Is much larger. There is q mani
fest Improvement over last year IN Min
lgesOta. Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas
Dhio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
The averages OF Illinois, Iowa and
b.icbigan differ little from those Of 1872
California and Indiana are less
savosed. The States ia which q
more than average yield Of
wheat per acre, a. indicated by the Sep
tember reports, are: Minnesota, Wis
cousin, Nebraska and Oregon in the
west, and New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut and Massachusetts, in the
east. Tne increased breadth in wheat
will place the total quantity in several
OF the other States above the usual pro
duct, and give . larger aggregate for the
crop in the United States than was Sc
cured iu 1872 The quality is generally
superior. In most localities the grain
Yields better in Iing than was expect
ed. In New YORK, thirty-three counties
put of the thirty-five reported, make re
turns Of an average or 3 poor crop, and
every southern State fails to make al
average crop. Iowa claims an average
yield upon a large area, as do Missouri
and Kansas Ohio and Kansas
came very near producing an average
Weld. Illinois reports indicate seven
per cent. less than the average, and In
diana aud Kentucky still greater depre-
Citations. The facts presented by CORE
spOndents show eOnclusively that the
crop deterioration from climate causes
Is greatly increased by careless husband
~. and that the crop failures are In a
great measure avOidable. Much Of the
loss from rust, blight and even from in
sects il directly traeeaole TO the low vi
tality resulting from imperfect prepsra-
lion Of soil aud deficient cultivation
An parts Of the country, especially Ia
the south, records Of skilful culture Of
wheat show repeatedly double the usual
average Of wheat.

We gave yesterday an account OF the
rriz flight between Allen and McCOole
at Cl' l'outeau Island, near st. Louis, Mis-
sour, Ou Tuesday last, as reported by the
Associated press. 1t is a bloody leaf
from the book of daily news, indicating
the singular construction Of our society
which can, in the broad light Of Chris
fian charity, tolerate practice so much
at war with the kindly spirit of our age.
The details Of this fight are simply dis
gusting. A show Of brutal pluck and
courage was there TO be seen, but two
bulldogs in the ring would exhibit
a-s much. The heart sickens at the spec
tNcle OF two men sinking suddenly in
tie scale OF their being, and placing
themselves on a level with the dogs. In
cases like these, appeals to the nobler
sentiments are lost, and the strong arm
on the law should interfere in behalf, if
not Of the misguided men themselves,
in behalf Of ilsulted men and women
everywhere, befre whom the bloody
and repuIsive exhibition is pSraded. The
press must give the news, but il is the
duty OF the people to SO frame their lives
that such news viii not, Ike this Of
yesterday, disgust every right-thinking
man who reads it.

THE Little Rock Gasette, treating OF
the money panic in that city, says it
was but the repetition Of what, under
Radical rule, has become periodical.
This wear the financial failures east
afforded the favorable opportunity. II
has been brewing for two months.
These panics have occurred for year.,
and each time the citizens meet, talk
the matter over, and resolve TO sustain
the city money. The cause is to be
found in the mysterious manner in
which the city finances are managed
The general opinion prevails-whethel
it be just or uDjust-thst a considerable
amount more OF this money is out than
is reported by the city officials. Once
satisfied as TO the amount, and that nc
morc viii be issued, there can be nc
trouble in carrying what is already In
circulation. On this point the resolu-
lions adopted at the citizens meeting
aIe TO the point. Let the city council
inset the citizens, says the Gazette, in
The spirit in which the resolutions art
cCushed, and place this matter in the
hands OF Hlose in whom the whole peo-
pie have confidence, and we will be
done with these yearly panics about
CITY money.

LONDON, September 24.-The house of
Clews, Habelcht d Co. have decided To
suspend. A dispatch from Berlin an
nounces the failure Of a house in that
city. The sum Of el3S, coo drawn from
the bank of England on balance
to-day, was for shipment to New York !:
e20, 600 in addition TO the above amount.
was also shipped to the same place to-
day.
Clews, Habeicht & Co. were in
formed, yesterday, that Henry Clews d
Co. were safe, and FIRST knew of the sus-
pension Of that New York house to-day.
They Immediately called in their solicit.
Ors, and, after consultation, decided to
suspend payment. Their liabilities are
e240 600. Their other liabilities are
e64, 600. They have assets sufficient to
meet their own liabilities, but not those
of Henry Clews d Co. The liquidation
Of affairs depends upon the condition of
the New York house; the London house
has not lost q penny. It is believed in
financial circles that flow Of bullion
from England to the United States will
commence.
