At the close of the Mezie6h war in .1s4s,
there was prospect Of peace, but the brig
andage of the Mexicans has been steadily ON
the incrcaseaan today the same deedsiare
committed on Texans by them as If in a
state Of war. Armed bands cross the Rio
Grande continually for the purpose Of raid
ing upon Texas soil and driving off drovcs
of cattle, horses and sheep, as well as to
rob and murder her citizens whenever and
wherever money can be obtained OF some
benefit gained. AN old Texan, who lives
on the frontier and has fought Mexicans and
Indians, tells us that actual war docs exist !;
that ever since the war Of 1s4s was
ended by the withdrawal Of the
United States forces from Mexican soil, the
Mexicans have claimed all that country be-
tween the Nueces and Rio Grande, and are
determined to help themselves to whatever
may suit their fancy Our exchanges con
tain accounts, from week to week. Of Mexi-l
can robheries and murders, and, Jet the
United States government does nothing.
There are, in our opinlons but two ways to
put a stop, to the present condition, Of
things along the Rio, Grande. One is to
picket the river with a mounted force, leay-
ing strong reserves every twenty-6 miles;
the other is to take possession Of the States
of Tapaulipas and .Cpahuila,s and hold
them hem as an indemnity for the outrages com
nitted itted and damages sustained, The gov
e ernmrent lr4 should pay some attention TO the
matter, II sufficient evidence has not been
enough can be had to convince
the most sceDtioal,-----

So many false and malicious charges have
been maeO by certain papers in relation to
the public printing that we ask the forbear-
ance of our readers for even alluding to it
once more. I'VE, propose to, make the article
short and pointed; $50 that each paper and
| person may know the facts and have no ex-
cuse longer to misrepresent US, If they hare
HERETOFORE been deeei0ed, and rnisled. So far,
then, as the STATESMAN Office has been in
tePested and benefited, the following are
the facts and figures, as nearly as can be ar
rived. at, for the public printing; ~ -, i
The STATESMAN has received from the,
Treasury fifty-seven thousand dollars I'M
,depreeiGtcd soa4Tdnts for public printing of
the Thirteenth Legislature, and large part
of thesHork of the Fourteenth Legislature.
0fdhis amount, wesuppose at least $40, 600
were paid for our daily paper, containing
the official proceedings of the Legislature.
For printing the laws and journals of the,
ThiTteenth Legislature the State paid us
$1S, OS7; the balance Of $4,000 was for
contingent printing, such as messages Of
the Governor, ills OF the two houses, re,
ports Of the VARIOUS departments, impeach.
ment and address pamphlets, blank work
for. the various arttHments, publication 'Of
proclamatioHS etc, And, out Of this sum,
we have paid not s7thand $1,000 isifafest
for money to bay pupa- AID pay psihtefs.s

The latest accounts, state that the sxpsdi-
ton, from the frst Of April vas Consistently
attacked BY the Sioux Indians in bodice of
from one hundred TO one thousand. Ono
man Vas killed and one slightly wounded.
The command approached near the vicinity
Of Tongue river but on account of the con-
slant attacks Of the Indians the expedition
had to retreat The stock were much re-
duced, the horses had the epizootic, the rainl
fell in torrentAs and the roads were very
muddy, Rich prospects are reported on
several rivers. Lost horses were replaced
by Others that were captured from the In /,
sdians, One account says that they had
four general battles7sOps lasting foughOurs, !
one three, one five and the other about two
hours, with several slsiEmishes.5 mall the
general fghts-we-hsHe- -g,Dt-RgHy with their

badly. We fought about twenty-five the
first fight, the second about four huhdrea,
the third about SIX hundred, the fourth
cbout eight hundfed or q thousand Indians.
We suppose we killed and wouDded about I
one hundred Sioux. We ehave had the mis-
fortune to lose one Of our best men, Mr. z. 1
Yates, of Radersburg, who 'wasshot through /
the heart during,a charge in she third bat
tie, on the Little Big Horn river. We have
been constantly annoyed with Ihdians for |
more than one hundred miles. There have |
been none in sight for several days past, pas

True to Her Record.

The bloody parish of Rapides gives us
another chapter of crime. We copy the
particulars from the Gazette of the fourth.
An inoffensive colored man was killed, and
no arrest or investigation had. Is there no
way of making the officials of that parish
do their duty? If not, then the sooner
Governor Kellogg proclaims martial law,
and sends squad of Metropolitan militia
there, with Captain McCann. or as good a
man, for military governor, the better:
It becomes our painful duty to record the
OUTRAGEOUS killing of an inofensive c0lored
man, on Saturday last, near town, by q
crazy. beardless youngster, who is not e
citizen of Rapides and had just arrived
here from Texas. We could not ascertain
the facts and particulars of the difficulty
between them about q bottle of whisky.
Such unfortunate occurrences are much de-
pl0red by all our citizens and calculated,
unjustly too, to cast stigma abroad upon
the good name of our parish. The lives OF
our people, both white and black, must be
protected by the strong arm OF the law:
The unanimous voice Of our people and
welfare of the community demand it. We
are surprised, indeed, to hear that no arrest
and investigation of the case has been
made. The people all over the parish Of
Rapides, without regard to race or color,
demand that our civil authorities be more
prompt and active in the discharge Of their
dutV,

Mexican Items.

We copy the following items from the
T,co Republics of June 81:
Mr.. NJ. r. Pilon, who has 80 efficiently
performed the duties of United States con-
sui at Aguascalientes, has arrived in this
city. and will proceed in the first packet to
the United States, when he will spend a
few months in his native city of New Or.
leans, where he has numerous friends and
relatives. During the absence of Mr.. PilOn
the duties of the consulate at Aguascali-
entes, we understand, will be performed by
Mr.. Frank j. Dupuey.
The New Orleans REPUBLICAN OF the sec.
ond instant constants an additional notice
of lecture delivered in that city by Bishop
Gilbert Haven of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. BY the article in the REPUBLICAN
we are to Judge that the lecture was marked
with fairness and was exceedingly interest
ing to his hearers. We will publish the
REPUBLICANS article in our next.
We take the following from the Tuxpan
Tropics June L:
The schooner Witch of the Wave, Cap
tain w. Hance, is in port taking in cargo
of cedar for New Orleans.
Captain Hance informs us that it is his
intention to continue regularly in the trade
between this port and New Orleans, thus
opening a new market for our products.
We wish him abundant success in his en-
terprise, and feel certain that if energy and
perseverance will accomplish it, there need
be no fear of failure. We have long felt
the want of direct communication with New
Orleans, and now that opportunity offers
to secure it every one should give 1t his en-.
cOuragement.

Personal.

Our readers will be pleased to know that
Hon. O. II. Brewster, of Ouachita, has
been appointed surveyor general of the
district of Louisiana, in place of DR.. Bon
zano, resigned. Mr.. Brewster has been
prominent in the Republican party since
reconstruction, holding many important po-
sitions by the suffrage of the people, and
has maintained an unsullied record. He is
practical engineer, energetic, reliable and
courteous. A better selection could not
have been made.
Hon. John S. Harris, of Concordia, has
arrived in this city. He brings good reports
of the condition of affaiIs in the river par
ishes politically, while all the people, black
and white, are bending themselves with un-
common zeal to repair the damages caused
by the food, with promise of good results.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-07-09
Hon. Frank MOrey.

Our honored Representative from the
fifth congressional district of Louisiana ar
rived in this city from Washington on Sum
day evening last. We have refrained from
mentioning his arrival only because he
wished for few days respite before receiv.
ing the attention of his many friends.
In tie session of Congress just brought
to close, General Frank Morey has made
for himself an enviable reputation. He is
yet young man, modest and unassuming,
but full of energy, and is an untiring
worker. He is a tried and true Republican,
and justly popular with his constituents.
1t has been his good fortune to champion
the right measures at the right time, and,
Irrespective of party feeling, he has earned
and received the gratitude Of the entire
State To him was delegated the important
chalrmanship of the select committee on
Mississippi levees, and with his associates
he has succeeded in accomplishing more for
the ievee interests of this State than has
been done for twenty years past. This is
conceded by all, even men of different po-
litical faith.
When this, with other Southern States,
was stricken with the terrible disaster of
overflow, the work which Representative
Morey accomplished in our behalf can not
be forgotten by grateful people. He was
the prompt champion of the distressed, and
his labor and appeals as member of Con-
gress wrought much to bring about the
generous appropriations yielded by the
federal government.
1t is believed that General Morey has
almost a clear field for a denomination and
election in the coming campaign, should he
desire such an Endorsement of his services
from his constituents, and with his past
record in view, it is plain that the people OF
North Louisiana would be the losers should
they fail to return him to the next Con-
gresS
