NEW ORLEANS, March 3O.-The gen.
eral appropriation bill, approved by the
Governor and promulgated in the Republi-
can Of to-day, is denounced by Lieut.. Gov.
Antoine and Speaker Horne, in a eOmmu-
nication to the Secretary Of State, as an un-
warrantable and criminal act offOrgery, and
is not the act certified and signed by them,
and requests the Secretary Of State to re-
woke and annul the prOmulgation of said
act, and the Attorney General TO take steps
TO find out the guilty parties and have them
prosecuted with the utmost rigOr Of the
law. The changes made in the original
appropriations show a decrease in several
items of over $751; 600, and an increase of
other items Of SI1,OO Senator Wharton,
chairman Of the Finance Committee, GER
titles that be compared the biIl as published
in the Republican with the bill as passed
by both houses, and with the bill as signed
by the Speaker and President of tie Senate,
and that the statement is correct as to the
changes and alterations made, so far as fig
UTes and amounts are concerned.

The Late Outrages by MexIcans I'm
Texas.
Gen. Augur's attention having been at
tracted tolthe Associated Press telegrams
published yesterday, giving reports of Mex
lean raids into Texas, and being still in
command Of that territory, telegraphed the
cOmmandant at Fort Brun, Brownsville, as
10 the truth Of the reports, and received the
following reply:
There are many reports Of raids on the
ranches in the vicinity Of Corpus Christi
and threatened attack upon
that place. Some ranches doubtless
have been robbed ana burned, and some
people have been killed and some taken
prisoners. The prisoners are reported to
have escaped. These marauders have been
driven from the vicinity of Corpus Christi
by the citizens in pursuit. l have sent all
my mounted force to intercept the robbers,
and Gen. Hatch has sent troops for the
same purpose. Many depTedatiOns have
been committed along the river above this
point Of late, and several persons have been
killed. believe these robbers are Mexicans,
and that most Of them are from the other
side of the river. There are probably sew
eral parties out for stealing cattle and rob
bing ranches. No reliable information as
to numbers. II. POTTEE,

Desperation Of the Rotten Ring.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
It is reported that an attachment has
been issued by the United States Criminal
Court against Mr.. Charles A. Dana, editor
Of the Nelg York Sun, in the case of the
United States vs.. F. II. Snyder. Mr.. Dana
has really no testimony to give in the case,
but it is pretended that he has, in order to
bring him here within the power of the
ring, who run the local judiciary. 1t may
be stated here, as a matter Of absolute GER
t2inty, that any opponent of the Ad-
ministratiOn would stand a very slim
chance Of justice and fair play in the courts
Of the District, and Mr.. Dana would stand
no chance at all. If brought here on any
pretense, a number Of suits would at once
be instituted against him, and the juries
would be packed against him as they al
most certainly will be packed in the case
of Mr.. Whitelaw Reid. Fortunately for
Mr.. Dana, the decisions of the United
States Supreme Court are to the effect that
the United States Courts have no power to
compel the attendance of witnesses resid-
ing outside of their jurisdiction, and so he
can not be brought here. Such is the best
legal opinion.
The New Postal Regulations.
Postmaster General Jewell, in conversa-
sion to-day upon the new postal law for
mail matter Of the third class, stated that
he would send in letter when Congress
should meet in December next, recon-
mending a repeal Of the law so far as it
operates on transient newspapers. He de-
claTes that he never desired the law TO Op-
crate on this class Of matter, but only on
the merchandise and small parcels, and
here he desires the increased rates to be
maintained. He regards the extension of
the increased rates to newspapers as a mis-
take.

THE Tennessee Legislature has sub
mitted to the people Of that State
constitutional amendment providing
that the Legislature snail meet only
once IN four years. Perhaps the plan
Is open to some objections, bat the sub
mission Of the question to the people
indicates a growing sentiment IN the
public mind against Legislative tinker
ing. There Is a deal Of wisdom IN the
saying that the world is governed too
much WhaA with the making and
unmaking Of laws, amending, substi-
tuting aud repeating, the people are
left IN doubt mach of the time what
the law Is, aud about the time business
adjusssl5sef 10 a given law, Congress
or the Legislature cOnvenes and makes
a new one. This IS owing partly to the
fact that many Of the laws passed are
merely tentative and experimental,
partly to the incompetence Of legisla-
tors and partly to the excessive desire
Of most legislative bodies 10 be tinker
ing and changing. OF course new laws
are necessary from time to time to
meet the changing conditions Of so
ciety, but no one can deny that these
changes should be as few and as
seldom as possible. If the plan above
referred to is adopted in nTennessee, and
proves popular, it may be followed by
a similar movement IN other States

THE RAGE FOR SPECULATION IN
PARIS,


A Paris letter to the Neiy York Times
thus notes the revival Of an extraordinary
mania for speculation:
Everybody is rushing to the BOurse, and
wonderful stories Of millions gained in a
few days time are told in every circle.
One day the editor Of an evening journal
wins 100000 francs in Spanish rentes;
the next bis assistant editor gains ], 1,OOO,O 700
in spanish MObilieT. This stock has gone
up from 400 and something to !, ,52O. and at
the rate Of 80 or 100 francs a day. There
is every reason to believe that it will
reach 1000. Stocks of all kinds are rising,
and every man, woman and child who has
few hundred francs to spare, rushes off to
the BOu-se and buys on a margin. This
wonderful movement has been caused by
ri. Phillippart, Belgian, who has had the
honor Of having law presented in the
Chamber especially for him. Since his ar
rival money has been plenty, and PactOlus
seems TO have been turned into the cutters
Of Paris. All that he touches turns TO
gold. If Nj. Phillippart says that a certain
stock, languishing at so, shall 90 up to
1000, it goes mp with the greatest rapidity,
aud when Phillippart invests everybody is
crazy TO get the same kind Of stock.

The Money and Stock Markets.
New YORK, March 30.-The Times
financial article of to-day, in referring to
the agitation in the money market yester-
day says: 'It is perhaps unnecessary to
state that this sudden change was due TO
eXtraneOus influences, and sprung from a
renewal of the operations Of the gold
clique. It is well known that large
amounts Of capital in this and neighbOr-
ing cities would be released if satisfactory
rates could be obtained, and it was not
likely that the maneuyres Of the clique, if
persisted in, would meet with much sue
cess"
The stock market has been active, with
wide fluctuations in the leading shares,
which are in the main considerably higher
than at the close yesterday. On and after
the second call the market was firm.
