Hon. Il. COLDWELL,
Col. of Customs, Franklin, Tex.
Sir: l have Incidentally received
notice that on the 18th inst. seve.
raj Mexican citizens crossed to
the left bank of the river and
| drove to this side a herd Of sheep
that was seized by virtue of the
office you have the honor to hold.
Surprised, as l was, it aroused
my indignation at the procedure
OF those citizens who, without
doubt, have already taken the
necessary steps to correct this
abuse; and you can rest assured
that [ am animated with the
greatest desire that the harmony
between the two nations shall re-
main undiSturbed and your insti.
tutions be respected.

The San Antonio TEX Herald
says: "The feeling on the other
side of the Rio Grande against
the Americans, is said by those
who have lately returned from
thence, to be one of bitter hatred
and desire for revenge for the
insult offered by Mackenzie per-
vades certain classes"

"SHORT sHRIFT AND SUDDEN
CORD"
EOUR MURDERERS HUNG
BY THE CITIZENS OF
TUCSON.

On our third page will be found
an account of the recent hanging
flour confessed murderers. This
was the action of the citizens of
Tucson, who assisted in a body.
While it is to be deprecated that
the hardness of the law affords SO
many avenues of escape to MUIR
derers, the result has ever been,
It ever will be, especially on the
frontier, to multiply crimes, no
less than TO excite contempt OF
law. Viewing the recent action
of the citizens Of Tucson in this
light, we can but applaud. The
man who takes life must be made
to suffer the extreme penalty OF
the law, and that without any of
this legal trickery which has
turned loose SO many murderers
upon us. These shedders of hui
man blood have rarely become
good citizens on the frontier, and
they having once committed a
crime of the kind, will repeat 1t
on first opportunity. Until the
machinery of frontier law is more
perfectly worked with a greater
regard for justice, and SO as to in
spire evil minded men with a
wholesome fear of the consequent
ces. of lawless acts, it is folly to
talk of security for life, person,
or property" Hence, as a last re.
sort, it becomes the duty of the !
people. to protect themselves, as
the residents ofTucson have done.
All honor to them for it.
The Citizen says truly, the prompt
judicial hanging of one man in |
Yuma has had the effect to stop
thelcommission of crime here. Il !
has besides inspired lawless char |
acters with a fear Of the cOnse-
quences ofsavage deeds, commit
ted in moments of "emotional |
insanity" purposely superin- |
Guced.

hung at the same time and on the
same scaffold. Following is the
report of the inquest held over
the bodies of the murderers {:
I'VE, the undersigned, the jurors

A. NJ. in the Courthouse Plaza, in
the town of Tucson, by hanging;
and we further find that the said
hanging was committed by the
people Of Tucson, en- masse; and
we do further say that in view Off
the terrible and bloody murders
that have been committed by thd
three Mexicans above named, and
the hardness with which justice |
was being melted out to John |

Remains OF Aztec CivrIlna.ion.

The Tulare (Cal Times Of January
llth has the subjoined sketch;
P. D. Green informs US that in the
vicinity of Tehaohipi, there are numer-
GUS and varied remains and evidences
of ancient Aztec civilization. There
ore on the sides of the hills, running in
different directions, well defined aoque-
ducts and bitches. The soil is a firm
cement which doea not wash away. In
these bitches there are giant oak trees
growing, as large and evidently as old
as those of the surrounding forests,
showing that the bitches must have been
constructed hundreds and perhaps
thousands of years ago. One of these
leads to silver-bearing ledge on which
shafts had been sunk, and from the bot
tom of which shaft drifts run in differ
ent directions, showing that the abo-
rigines had mined for the precious
minerals Ia the days OF old. This old
mine was rediscovered by the Narbeau
brothers, known in this vicinity, who
worked for considerable time in and

tants OF the continent 4ne lode dld
not prove as rich as it was expected it
would, and the Narbeau brothers finally
abandoned it. In running a water
ditch through this region, Green once
had occasion tSremove a venerable oak
tree. In taking away the roots be OBJ
served that immediately under where
the tree had stood the soil was different
from the cement surrounding-that it
partook of the nature vegetable mould
and debris, being very soft and easily
penetrated Following down an ancient
shaft was easily traced, and on re-
moving the debris was most clearly de-
fined, the walls remaining perpendicu.
lar, intact and solid. At the bottom Of
this shaft the skeleton Of a man was
found immediately underneath and
covered up by pile of ashes remaining
from some ancient fire. The. tree grow
ing over this shaft was evidently hun
dreds Of years old, showing that the ex-
cavations had been made long centuries
before the advent of the Spaniards.

ish, "Jornada del Muertos," is a stretch
of desert country in New Mexico of
ninety miles, without water. In going
from Ell Paso to Santa Fe, you have to
pass this Jornada," or follow the more
circuitous and difficult river route. The
battle of Val Verde was fought at the
upper end of the "Jornada," but the
Texans did not pass overit II received
its lugubrious name from the number of
bones by the roadside Of animals which
have perished from thirst. The writer
has driven across it frequently without
suffering or serious inconvenience, by
starting across by noon, aud driving
through with as little delay as possible.
Generally the distance was made in
about twenty-six 20 thirty hours The

Desert Roads.

The Staked Plains lin Spanish, Los
Llanos Estacados) lie between the head
of the Concho and the Pecos rivers IN
Northwestern Texas, and are at least
three hundred miles this side OF the near
est point in the territory of New Mexico.
In the early days Of Spanish settlement
in Texas, perhaps as far back as l7lO,
mines of silver were discovered on the
San Saba, in which is now San Saba
county. A settlement was formed, and
mission church built by the Jesuits,
the remains of which, as well as that OF
smelling furnaces, etc, are still visible
chihuahua, in those days, being the CEN
ter of mining enterprises OF Northwest
ern Mexico, the settlers on the San Saba
laid out a road by compass direct to Chi
huahua, stalking it out as they went for
the benefit of the returning party. Hence
the name, Llanos Estacados.
A few years after the opening OF the
route terrible disaster beiel Q party OF
Spauiards and Mexicans on their way
from Chihuahua to San Saba. About
twenty miles west Of the Peoos there
is a noted mineral spring called Ojo
Econdido, or the Hidden Spring Hid
den Eyeg) Here the Spaniards were
encadped. During the night they
we're surrounded BY several thousand
Comanehes and KioWss, and driven to
the top Of the isolated peak, at the foot
Of which they we're encamped. The In
dams, surrounding this peak, cut the
Spaniards of from the water, and the
whole party, to the number Of one hun
dred and fifty souls, perished from
tti,1. or from the'srrows Of the savages.

ing off into appropriate channels and
basins of present oceans, seas, lakes and
rivers, he has mastered the problem.
The food, then, was in consequence OF
changing the polarity of the earth.
Whether earthquakes opened vast rents
in the crust of the earth, into which
waters rushed from their old localities
and thus altered the center of gravity,
or whether enormous masses OF ice
broke their fastenings and sliding along
an inclined plane, brought about the
food, still remains an open question,
which may be freely discussed without
exciting the apprehension of the police
OF any country.
