GALVESTON, June Is. - The Necs'
Brownsville special says: One raider es-
caped. He was wounded, but craWled in
to the high grass. BE is now in Matamo-
ras, and had a ball extracted late yesterday.
The raiders casualties of the fight sum up
twelve killed and one wounded. They
lost besides eleven horses, saddles and all
their repeating rifles and pistols. Private
R. Smith was buried yesterday. Captain
McNeely could not 60 after the raiders un-
der Ricardo Flares, because his horses were
broken down.
Gov. Cortina is incensed at the killing of
his cattle thieves. The Mexican papers
say the raiders were assassinated while
asleep. McNeilly says if they were asleep
be don't want to find any of them awake.
Cortina swears he will have revenge.
Cortina is arming and has been for more
than a week. he received peremptOry
orders to report at Mexico, and in the event
Of disObedience, the order is to arrest him.
Gen. Tuero left Monterey this morning
on a march to MatamOras. He has 5000
men. IL is understood that he comes to ar
rest COrtina. It is not known what the
Brigand Chief will do. He is preparing
for devilment. He will fight Gen. TuerO
if he thinks he can whip him. He may
cross to this side and place himself at the
head Of the Mexican squatters, desOlate
the country, and cross to the Mexican side
again and get pardoned by the Supreme
Government.
The troops are on the alert, and the citi-
Zens Of Brownsville are adopting defensive
measures. No one knows what a day or an
hour may bring forth. There is no chance
for a division of opinion. Everything pre-
cludes a doubt as TO the accountability of
the Mexican authorities, the enOrmity Of
the outrages, and the dangers threatening
the frontier. Some of the Mexican officials
are watching Cortina's movements with
anxiety. Should he succeed, more than
one Of them will be marched to the Laguna
and shot. They are honestly trying to put
him down, not for what he has done to
but for what he may do to
them

The fact transpired more than three
weeks since that James A. Chastaine, FOR
several wears past, cashier for Ely, Harvey
q Richardson, had been Systematically rob
bing his employers, but for satisfactory rea-
sons the newspapers consented to tempo
Iarily withhold the details from the public.

cregafed about $4,000, the greater portion
of which il is understood has been secured

note or acceptance for $500 and endeavOred
10 sell il to one Of his (Chassaine's) most
intimate friends, who, however, suspeCting
that all was not right, declined TO purchase.
This fact determined the firm to arrest
Chastaine. He was Overhauled in Hot
Springs, a few days since, but before
requisitiOn could reach Gov. Garland, he
was released on a writ OF habels corpus.
His first act thereafter was to ship his
trunk to St. Louis; his next to "break" for
the woods, the better to avoid another ar
rest. At last accounts he had not been re-
arrested.

HE WAS THAR, TOO.


In the times when the political warfare
between Wings and Democrats waxed hot
and relentless there was a town out West
in which the two parties were so equal in
numbers that the variation Of single vote,
one way or the other, might be q matter Of
most serious consequence. OF course on
both sides sharp eyes were open and watch
ful. A young man came TO the polling
place on election day and offered his vote.
It was his first appearance in the character
Of an electOr, and he had the independ-
ence, or audaeity, to differ politically with
his father. His father challenged bis vote.
"On what grounds" demanded the pre-
siding officer.
"He amt tWenty-One.n
81 am twenty-One," asserted the youth.
"NO you amt, persisted the father, ''yOu
won't be tWenty-One till tomorrow
81 say l willl' cried the youth. II was
born on the 18th day Of November. It is
down so in the old Bible.n

the old man. 'sYOu weren't born till the

who have been working at Paine's shaft
were met by large gang this morning and
ordered TO stay out. 4 posse was raised,
and they opened a way through the mob,
aud those who wished entered the shaft.
There was great excitement.
Later.
The long strike is ended. The miners
Of Lehigh, Wilkesbarre county, made an
unconditional surrender through their del
egates last night, at a meeting with Mr.
Parrish. A dozen or more meetings were
held yesterday al different places. At Ash
ley a delegation of seventy German miners
went toa meeting for the purpose of voting
for resumption. Their object became
known TO the leaders, and they were
excluded from the meeting. They
then held a meeting of their own, and de-
cided to be governed no longer by the As
ISOLATION. At another meeting the Irish
and Welsh disagreed, and the former with
drew. At other meetings there was lack
Of harmony, and during the course Of the
day there was a general disagreement as to
future actions. The mass of the miners
are in favor Of going to work, bu: the lead
ers fought hard against it. The sentiment
was too strong for them longer to control,
and part yielded. In the evening a region
meeting was beld, and delegates then went
TO Mr. ParriSh's Office, where a long and
harmonious conference took place, which
ended in an agreement to 90 to work upon
the ccmpany's terms. No concessions
whatever were made by the company.

adjoining region.
