Mexican PetrOIeurs on the Rampage.
SANTAFE, y. NJ, Jan 6.-The ElpdSO
Sentinel says on the night of the 9th of
December a large party Of armed Mexicans
crossed over from PresiddO Del Norte to
destroy the rancho of John ID. Burgess,
provided with turpentine and other articles
to burn the place, intending to kill the pro-
prietOr and family. Mr.. Burgess left for
Fort Davis and they were persuaded by
some Mexicans living ON the place to go
away without other hostile demonstrations
than shooting into the air and cursing the
GringOeS.
When news reached Fort Davis, Col.
Bliss sent a detachment Of cavalry over
there. While the cavalry was there the
party Of thieves crossed the river and stole
every head Of cattle from the rancho of
Smith and Brinl1ham, lying about % miles
from the river. They escaped UNPUBLISHED
but returned again on the 4th inst, and
attacked the train of Nj. Sandebar, which
was on its return trip from Chihuhua to
San Antonio, having large amount Of
specie on board. After a brief skiuniSh
they were driven Of but it is reported they
are still following him, intent on more
desperate attack. Affairs are daily growing
more unsettled.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The fact that
the President yesterday had confidential

mittee, gave rise to rumor that he intend
ed to withdraw the nomination of Williams
for Chief Justice. At noon to-day Will
liams was not informed of such purpose,
nor could a confirmation of the rumor be
then obtained at the Executive Mansion.

There is considerable activity among the
public men of the West; the Pacific coast
with regard to the vacancy in the Office of
First Deputy Commissioner OF the Inter

others from that State are anxious for the
appointment of Ex-Supervisor Mum,
claiming that Illinois has right to the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The Senate con-
firmed the following nominations: Caleb
Gushing, Minister to Spain; Chas. T. Recks,
postmaster at MaTrillon, Ohio.
The Cabinet Session.
The Cabinet session to-day was attended
by all members and lasted about two
hours. The condition of affairs in Spain
was under consideration and several dis
patches from Sickles to Secretary Fish were
read.
They contained no matter of interest not
already published.
The opinion in official and diplomatic
circles is that the Spanish Republic is
practically ended. There was no reference
in the Cabinet session TO the nomination
of Judge Williams to the Chief-Justice-
ship, and there is no authority for saying
that the President has indicated any in
tentiOn Of Withdrawing his nomination.

mems gallery was filled to overfiowirg and
doorways blocked up, in which the colored
place counted at least 50 per cent. In the
ladies' gallery dark faces were also predonl-
lnant, and even the galleries set apart for
the families of the members were not free
from the presence of representatives of the
race which was so deeply interested in the
matter before the House.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts,, who re-
ported the bill, took the floor at the close of
the debate but yielded it to Mr.. Hale, of
Maine, who reported from the Appropria-
ton Committee the regular naval appropri-
alton bill which appFopriates $4,000, $50
and moved that it be made special order
for Thursday next.
Objection was made to having the day
fixed at so early time, and this point was
discussed at some length, but finally the
motion was agreed to.
No Further Appropriation for the
Boston POstOmee.
Mr.. Garfield from the same committee,
made report on the subject of a site for
the extension of the Boston pOstofice, in
which the committee recommended that
no further appropriation shall be made for
that purpose in addition to the 100000
already appropriated, and that if the Gov
eminent cannot get it for that price it does
not buy it at all. Report was ordered
printed, and re-cOmmitted.

Such folly seems almost incredible IN
a practical age. This delusion has not
only cost these extravagant premiums
and swelled the volume of taxation, but
it has eliminated in ruin, distress, and
the prostration eff every industry.
The pretenee that the reduction of
interest by the rapid extinction of the
debt would operate as a relief and more
than compensate for the drain Of re-
sources necessary for this object has
long ago been exploded. The tempta-
ton to excess furnished by a plethoric
treasury has shown me folly and the
falsehOOd Of that absurd theory, for at
the very last session of Congress more
money was voted for unnecessary pub
Lie buildings than the whole interest
professedly saved.
Hard necessity now forces us to
adopt principles which have hitherto
been discarded. and TO substitute some
thing real for the false externals so
much in favor. If the policy be once
settled that the public debt is to be re-
deemed as It natures and good faith
preserved IN regard to It's payment, a
great stride will be made toward sound
and prudent policy.
That act alone would wipe out at least
one hundred and ten II illions Of I'M
necessary taxation annually, and keep
that amount in circulation to aid legit-
innate enterprise and Development. Be
sides this, it would at a single blow
overthrow a pelnicious system and
bring the actual and proper expenses
for carrying on the government, which
are now covered up under huge mass
Of figures, within the direct view and
reachOf every constituency.
We have nearly reached the end Of
these experiments. The sober sense Of
the people is awakened at last, andim-
posture finds no longer a patient public
to be beguiled OF to be cheated. Cost
" as the experience Is likely to be IN
to sound practice, the coun-
try viii come out Of this trial Ike a
giant refreshed, stronger and better
than before. Adversely Is the best |
master of practical reform among ma
lions as among. men. ]

FUTURES"
Innortani 20 Cotton Mem.

MONTGOMERY, Jan. 5.-The case Of
Lehman Bros. vs.. StTassburger, which was
tried before Judge Busted last spring, was
heard on a writ CT error, by Judge Woods,
of the United States Circuit Court of Mo-
bile, on Friday and Saturday last. Leh-
man Bros. filed a petition to put Strassbur-
ger into involuntary bankruptcy, on a note
given for losses in what are commonly
known as future cotton contracts, which
contracts were made and losses paid, as
they alleged, by Lehman Bros, as the fac
tors and agents of Suassburger. y trial
by jury was had.
Judge Busted in his instructions to the
jury, held such contracts to be illegal.
Lehman Bros. sued out a writ of error
from the United States Circuit Court at
Mobile. To-day Judge Woods delivered
his opinion, in which he decided that the
contracts as proved, are valid and binding.
Said contracts were proven to have been
made according to the rules of the New
York Cotton Exchange. Judge Woods re
versed the case and remanded it for trial
by another jury.

gIaphsd here tonight. Ii is said TO be a
very lengthy document, and so far as re-
ceived up to midnight, is a discussion, re-
trenchment and mob violence. The Gov
ernor believes that the administration of
State government can be affected as well
if not better than il is now a one-half the
present cost, and thinks many officers may
be dispensed with entirely. He also de
sires the law to be more promptly and Wig
orOusly enforced in case of mob violence.
and the present law modified so that jus
tice may invariably be melted out to viola
tors OF the law. The message is also said to
treat extensively on the railroad question,
Louisiana affairs and local State matters.

The Republican journals generally
g denied that the Democrats had any
thing to do with the defeat of their
party in the West last fall where the
Reformers triumphed, and that the re-
suit was as much decision against the
Democrats as against the Republicans.
But now the indianapolis Journal, the
Republican organ at the capital of In
diana, tells its readers that "the De-
mocratic party in Iowa having captured
the reform movement has issued a
call for a convention to be held at Des
Moines on the 18th OF February, 'of all
the voters of Iowa opposed to the Re-
publican party and monopoly"
