Although the Official report from Gen SAeri-
dan that We publish to-day does not state that
the engagement with the Lipan AMI Kickapo
Indians took place on Mexican territory, 1t is
thought possible in military circles that Mac
kenzie did cross the Rio Grahde in his pursuit
Of the Indians, as the temptatien . do 20 here
tofore has been very great. The Nexicans and
kickapoo Indians who have consisted depre-
dations IN Texas have frequently been trailei
to the Rio Grande, and, once acres, considered
themselves shielded from punishment. Col,
Mackenzie Is only about thirty-two years
of age, being the youngest officer with
the fun rank Of colonel in the army
He has the reputation of being an ex-
eellent officer, but, of course, II he crossed
the Rio Grande he did 30 solely on his own re-
sponsibility. To peace commission sent down
to negotiate with the Kickapoos some time
since, the head men Of that tribe said that they
were about to make q raid on Texas, and when
they returned they would be prepared to talk
about peace with the commissioners. 1t IL
thought at the India n Office that it was that raid
which Col. Mackenzie so handsomely repelled
The government has on several occasions asked
permission of the Mexican authorities to pursue
marauders into Mexican territory, and NJ. Mar
iscal, the Mexican Minister, Is represented as
saying that if it should become an imperious
necessity for our troops to pursue savage and
hostile Indians from our territory into Mexico,
that the Mexican government, in his opinion,
would not seriously complain.

WASHINGTON CITY:
May d. 1873.

The STAR some time since took the ground
that not one, ten, or q hundred intermittent
bangings or spasmodic endorsements OF the law
of capital punish ment, would have any effect in
diminishing the crime Of murder, but that the
prompt and infexible execution OF all assassins
regardless Of their social standing or other
extraneoD circumstances would inevitably
have such q tendency. In view of newspaper
commens upon the recent murders following
closely upon executions, the New York Journal
or Commerce In an article under the heading
"Do penalties deter, emphatically answers
the query in the Affirmative. IL does not
believe that because several murderers have
recently been hanged in New York and almost
simultsneoasly several other homicides have
occurred, that hanging lie Intellectual 10 prevent
assassinstions and thinks that while il is sad to
ehonicle contemporaneously Q half-dozen execu-
tons aud hah-dozen new homicides, vet
without the former there IL no telling whether
the latter might not have been half a score
instead OF the smaller number. No argum ent
affecting the question of capital punishment
can be based upon the facts, unless a con-
nectiOn can be shown. 1t furthersays:
cit does not follow because a number of mur-
SeTers have lately paid the death penalty that
il has heretofore been rigidIy exacted' We
know II has not been We know, moreover
that moral Effects do not instantly succeed
causes The current period is more likely to be
The consequence OF former laxity than OF exist
ing strictness in the execution of the law OF
capital punish ment- The criminal class must
have some enduring experience Of the sternness
OF the law, and become convinced that they are
not merely witnessing spasmOdic exhibition
OF Its severity, likely soon to pass over, before
we can fairly determine the effect be il salutary
or otherwise. OF the scaffold scenes We have

Senator CaSscrly.
March %, 1878

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial abiding to the
charges Of corruption against Senator
Casserly, of California, says:
The elaborate defense of Senator Casser-
ly, purpOrting to have been telegraphed by
the Associated Press from San Francisco
OH the alleged corruption connected with
his election to the Senate, was not printed
here on the day it appeared in the. other
newspapers. The object of excluding it is
not known. The dispatch, however, at
tracted the attention of prominent Cali
fornia Democrat, now here, who was a
member of the Democratic State Central
Committee of California, when Casserly
was elected. This gentleman is brother
in-Iaw of Judge Dent. He says it is easy
to explain the failure of the California
Legislature to investigate the charges of
corruption made by Volney Howard
against Casserly.
In the first place, he says, the Legisla-
ture was Democratic, and they did not
like to investigate members of their own
marty. There were few members of the
Legislature who were not satisfied with the
amount they received, and these threaten.
ed that they would vote for an investga.
ton. 10 prevent this the gentleman in
question alleges that fifty thousand dol.
lars in gold were raised and distributed
among the dissatisfied. He further states
that the Legislature that elected Casserly
was notorious for its corruption and pro
fiigacy-a fact which, as Democrat, he i:
sorry to admit.
