ANNEXATION OF MEx1co.-Very i'm
portant information has reached us from
what we deem an authentic source, to
the effect that overtures have been made
by the Mexican Government to that of
the United States to cede all the territory
of the former lying north of line of
latitude drawn directly from the mouth
of the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean,
and that the matter will engross the at
tention of Congress at its next session,
with the greatest probability of its ac-
ceptance. One thing is positive, a num-
Der of our heavy capitalists and bold oper-
ators have very recently been actively in
pursuit of mines lying in the territory
to be ceded. Several in Lower Califor-
MIA have already changed hands, and
mining engineers have been dispatched
to Sonora and chihuahua. 1t is evident
to us that much commotion exists about
this matter in certain circles, and that
there is good foundation for the report.
By this arrangement the United States
will acquire Nueva Leon. Coahuila, Chi
huahua, Sonora, Lower California, and
portions of Sinaloa and Durango.-[S. F.

AUSTIN, New, July 13.-The Manhat-

severe loss by fire on Saturday night by
incendiaries setting fire to the wood
racks on the company's principal wood
ranches, situated 1G and % miles from

cords of wood were destroyed, worth
from $l2 to $l5 per cord in this city.
The two piles we're fired in several
places, but the fire being first observed
from great distance the entire amount
was consumed before assistance could be
rendered. Sheriff Emery and man

coo patents for agricultural lands. OF
this number 5000 were from Illinois,

CANDIDATES QUALIFICATIONS.

The near approach of the time for
holiing the political conventions of the
State is making the swarm of candidates
to buzz around considerably. They are
all things to all men and make all sorts
of fine promises and proteststions.
These professions are all very well, but
most of them are like pie-crust-made to
be broken. The people, however, should
recollect that the present time is their
opportunity, which, if properly used,
will insure them capable aud honest
officers aud representatives.. No man
should command the support of the peo-
pie that is in the slightest degree tainted
with the corruption that has SO generally
infected public business. Care ought TO
be taken that all salary grabbers. Credit
Mobilier experts, should be taught les
son that they so sadly need; that
their offenses have utterly disqualified
them for any public trust The greatest
caution should also be exercised to pre-
vent any press gagger, or destroyer of
the poor mans schools, from ever being
allowed another opportunity to betray
his trust. The old unmesning, vspid,
wishy-washy. grandiloquent platituaes Of
party platforms are becoming more and
more distasteful to the public mind.
We all know that they are either mean
ingless, or not the slightest attention is
paid to them. But while little regard
need BE- bestowed on these rhetorical
flourishes, still, on the other hand, the
exigencies of the present political situa-
ton require that the platforms of parties
should give no wayering sound with re-
gard to certain matters. Ont press law,
on public schools, on the currency, on
the proper mode OF exposing and punish
ing the mal-administration of the public
business, a clear and precisely deter
mined position mus. be taken. The con-
ventions should be peremptorily required
to take sides on these matters. They
should be compelled to declare whether
they bslisve it was right to muzzle the
press, to destroy the school system. to
promote or punish offenders, and the
other important issues OF the day.
Several conventions have already met in
the East, aud at those OF the Republi-
cans, the same old bladerish is presented
that means anything or nothing This
may do for the office-holders but it
will not for the people. The only mode
for the public to acquire any reason
able security for future good behavior,
is to pin parties and candidates down to
a clearly defined position. Make them
say, where and what they are. When
that is done, choose those whose views
seem the most calculated to benefit the
public; men that are not tainted with
past offenses and whose former life gives
some reasonable security that its future
will be honorable to themselves and use
full TO their constituents. Get capabl
man if it be possible, but above al
things, let his honesty be unquestiona
bic. If this latter qualification is insist
ed on as it should be, there will be few
of the, present Congress reelected. Nov
is the peoples time, every precautiol
should be taken TO use it with wisdom
guided by iwpartiality and frmness.
