THE Memphis Aoalanche has made SO
many false assertions about the funding
law and its effects, that 1t Is scarcely posi-
BILE to make note Of each of them. 1t has
disregarded all the prophecies of journalism
in its attacks upon private character, and
lowered the standard of its profession in
public estimation by a resort to reckless
charges to slslain its unlenable positions.
1t has done everything that it could do pos
sibiy to depreciate the credit Of the State,
but thus far palpably failed. 1t has sgain
and again charged that the advocates Of
funding the State debt were endeavoring to
make the people of the State pay
the new issue Of the Bank of Ten
nessee. There may be friends of funding
who favor q redemption of the new issue,
but so far as we are advised not one of
those persons or papers whom the AUa-
lanche has held up as most responsible for
the funding law, ever advocated the pay
ment of the Lew issue. The AudIGnche
seeks the cover of a correspondent to make
the charge that the resignation Of Comp
troller Hobbs was purchased by the sugges-
lion, instig stioa or advice Of he Governor.
We undertake to say, SO far as the Governor
and the present Comptroller is concerned,
that the charge is utterly, totally false.
The Avalanche has become so accustomed
to Misrepresentation when speaking of
funding, that it cannot even state correctly
the fees for funding,

THE TEXAS FRONrIER-A BREATH
OF WAR.

The Washington Republican Of the LIST
inst. publishes a long and rather war-like
letter from Fort Clarke, Texas, on the con-
dition of affairs along the Mexican border.
The writer states that the troops formerly
stationed at that place are scattered in de-
| tachments throughout tn = county, and that
they are kept constantly in motion. They have
secured every portion of the country from
the Rio Grande to the Rio Honda, and
closely guarded every creek and crossing.
Yet, notwithstanding this vigilance on the
part of the troops, the savages and their
allies continued to increase their incursions
and carry on more extensive devastation
OF our territory than they have dared to
attempt for many years previous. The fact
has been established that the operation of
troops can never be successful against In
dams ca frontier so extended as ou.s so
long as they are protected and aided in their
murderous depredations upon us by the
Mexican frontier authorities, of the Sta es of
Cohuila and Tamslipas. The officials and
people of these border States. with
out regard to international rights
or treaty obligations, not only permit
the savages to commit depredations on our
property, to cross and recross the boundary
lire with cur property, but they aid them
in every manner possible, and are generally
the recipients of the booty captured from
our own unfortunate citizens, as is evil
denced lime and again by the large herds of
cattle and horses being found in their pos
session. This pefsrious traffic with tie In
dams is too great a source of revenue to tie
people and authorities Of Cchuila to be
sacrificed to the peace, welfare and safety
of the people ofthe frontier Of Texas. They
prefer that the Inhabitants Of our frontier
should be robbed, plundered and murdered
by the merciess savagss rather than that
themselves should lose their share OF the
booty captured by them. The writer in
sists that this condition of affairs should not |
be permitted to continue one hour longer |
than is absolutely required to send troops |
sufficient to punish the sanguinary msrSud-
ers; there is no use Of further trifing with |
these Mexican murderers. The state of az |
fairs on the Texas frontier is represen, ed as
worse than ever before, an absolute reign |
ofterror. The Mexican State authorities
appear anxious for hostility, and are de-
manding that troops be sent forward to re.
pei second ineursion by Mckenzie or any
Federal force.

GEN. HowARD's defalcation continues to
attract attention in Washington. The
Administration dislikes to have him tried
by courtmsrtial lift can be avoided, for the
reason that developments will be made
damaging to the powers that be. Judge
Advocate, Gen. Holt, whose antecedents are
nothing to be proud Of, is doing what he
can to screen his brother Howard from
court-martial. But in this case, it is no.
for him to initiate proceedings; that matter
rests with the Inspector Generals Office,
and it is said officials there recommend his
trial.

N ssioner Douglass starts tomorrow for
several weeks vacation in Maine. OF nine

THE Postoffice Department informs the
public that postal cards cannot be sent at
the ordinary rate when written over the
side intended for the address. A person
may compress Webster's Unabridged on the
other side, lift lies within his power 10 do
80, and it goes for cent; but single word
on the address side subjects the card to three
cents postage. There may be nothing in
thelaw to justify this decision, but the Post

A WRITER in the New Yo!k Findncier
says that the difference between the cost
of narrow-gauge railroads and ordinary
four feet eight and half inch gauge is
rather more than most people imagine
There are now fifteen narrow-gauge rail-
roads in the United States having seven
hundred miles of track, and there are no
less than twenty organizations and 1850
miles under process of construction. The
roads have been planned and constructed in
the past two years. The cost through 8
