Mexican Border Troubles,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2G Front official
correspondence it appears that some time
since, Minister Foster asked permission
of the Mexican Government for the repu
lar |. 5. troops to follow raiders across
the borders when in close pursuit, or per-
mission to temporarily occupy certain
points on the Mexican side, where the
raiders are accustomed to come across the
river. The reply of the Mexican Minister
Of Foreign Affairs was that the Executive
had no authority to grant such permission
without the consent of Congress, and it
would not be prudent to ask such consent,
rs the sentiment of the country would
not approve it.
Mr.. Foster stated that he was author
lZed to give the assurance that our Gov
eminent had no design OF acquiring an
extension of territory, but said the ac-
acknowledgement OF the Mexican Govern
ment Of its inability to restrain the law
lessness OF its own citizens would afford
the strongest possible argument to all ad
vocates of the acquisition of territory.
Mr.. Foster further said the citizens of Tex
as must be protected, and if the protection
did not come from the Mexican Govern
ment 1t must from ours.

Blaine and Morton arc in the race for

Posts Washington special says:
The announcement that the national repubi-

decide where the national convention shall be
held has had visible effect on the supporters
of some of the would-be presidential candi-
dates, especially those of Senator Morton and
eN-Speaker Blaine.
The friends Of the former say that the repub-
lican state convention of Indiana has been call
ed to meet on the 22d of February, at which
time delegates to the national convention will
be chosen, and it is confidently predicted that
a delegation unanimously in favor of Morton
tor President will be sent. BY opening up the
canvass at this early date, Mr.. Morton's friends
expect to gain considerable advantage and to
influence other Western States to instruct their
delegates to vote for him. Mr.. Blaines friends
are not working so openly as Morton's, but are
doing all they can to further his chances. In

came here. but was not kindly received
by several prominent gentlemen on whom
she called, as their minds had evidently
been poisoned against her husband She
did not interfere in the punishment Of the
mutineers, but was anxious to protect the
reputation of her husband from the charg-
es Of cruelty which We're brought forward
at the trial and completely disproved, but
she has not been able to OBTAIN q hearing
from those gentlemen here who have been
prominent in seeking q Communication Of
the sentence, although Representatives
Blaine and Hale have listened to her with
respectful attention There are reasons
for believing that the President has been
persuaded to act upon ex-parte statements
made to him, without referring the case
to the Attorney General, to whom the
memorials against any interference with
the courts OF justice have been sent, some
of them reaching him only this morning.
