OUTRAGEs ON THE MEXICAN BoRDER.-
to be some powder burned on the Texas
frontier if the Mexican banditti continue
their depredations. The Mexican Govern
ment appears powerless to restrain the law
less element on the Rio Grande and ada
cent parts of that country, and the United
States will be compelled to interpose force
in self protection, which will be likely to
carry an invading army into the Mexican
territory to punish and break up the raid
ing bands of Mexican cattle thieves, rob-
bers and murderers. The latest outrage,
which occurred on the Goth ult., was the
robbing of the postoffice at Neuces. The
postmaster, n. J. Noakes, had his store
robbed and his dwelling burned. His chill
dren were shot at, and one person named
Smith, who was at the store at the time of
the attack, was murdered. The mail car
rer was captured, together with the mail.
Several American citizens about the store
were taken prisoners and treated with
great cruelty. They threaten raid on
Corpus Christi.
The Secretary of War has telegraphed
to the commanding officer of the Depart
ment of Texas to use every effort for the
prevention of the Mexican raids. Three
regiments of cavalry and four of infantry
are now stationed in Texas, and such por-
tions of them as can be distributed along
the Rio Grande will be ordered there

The perfectly pure and well governed
State Of Georgia, the New York Time, says,
is in trouble about its Treasurer. Although
he is Democrat, and presumably a native
of the State and perfectly white, he has
carried on the business of his office as if he
were "little better than one of the wicked. -
He has paid bonds and forgotten - it, he
has reported imaginary sums to his credit
to make his account good; he has pledged
the State credit without authority of law;
he has not destroyed bonds and coupons
when paid, and he has paid some twice
over. These are the charges made against
him by a legislative committee. If lie had
been 'carpet- Dagger" we should have
had chorus on the subject from the Dem
ocratic papers. AS it is, the right of hav-
ing its Treasury mismanaged without out
side criticism appears to them one of the
prerogatives of State sovereignty, and they
are not inclined to disturb it.

OUR GREATEST NEED.

Give dog bad name and you may as
are not alone sufferers from bad names, but
people and whole neighborhoodS are af-
ticted from the same cause. We heard an
anecdote not long since of our own town.
which illustrates this principle, we are
sorry to say. A man residing in Delaware,
who was not noted for gentle speech, but
WHO seemed capable of forming a decided
opinion, had a son who conceived it would
be good thing for him, if he learned a
trade. The boy selected that of harness
making, and his mother and other members
of the family busted themselves getting
him ready to leave homo and engage in his
chosen occupation. AT this stage of the
proceedings the father appeared on the
scene, AID inquired where the young man
was TO so. to become acquainted with the
mysteries of fashioning leather into har-
ness, and was informed that he had chosen
Elkton as the field of his future exploits.
On hearing this-the sire being a Democrat
-"swore " that the boy might as well be
sent to a region proverbial for intense heat
and the perfumes of sulphur, at once as to
send him to Elkton. This is harsh opin-
ion, and every one of her citizens will
denounce it as unjust; but the fact that it
exists to some extent at least, should put
every Elktonian on his best behavior, and
induce him to examine what grounds exist
that such an impression should obtain
abroad. An opinion of this character pre-
vailing in regard to any town or neighbor-
hood is very injurious to its prosperity
Business and capital will not seek it to
develop or invest. Capital shuns Maryland
is very common saying, and not of recent
date; and one of the prime reasons for this
state of affairs is the delays of the law,
and the many advantages allowed to dis
honest and slow debtors.
A year or two years perhaps are required
to collect the most ordinary and just debt,
and the numerous facilities for delaying
and lodging the fuliillment of business
contracts and obligations, are vexatious
annoyances and sources of so much loss,
that capital very naturally avoids the traps
and pitfalls it is subject to under our slow
system of settling scores between creditor
and debtor. If the statute books were
purged of these relics of slower age, the
laws enjoining debtor and creditor, and
their place supplied with shorter and less
costly process; and that relic of the Mid
die ages, the usury law, repealed or mod
ernized to meet the financial custom and
demands of the present day, enterprise
and capital would seek our State, as it is
now seeking the free and untrammeled new
States of the West. But that an enlight
ened and modern policy will be inaugu
rated in Maryland, while its Bourbon poll
ticians of the Democratic party are allowed
to shape its destiny, it is folly of the mos,
egregiouS kind to even hope.

THE Ice GORGE AND FREsHETS. Dis
patches received yesterday about the ice
gorges and freshets are summarized as fol.
lows:
There was continued breaking up of
the ice and rushing of the waters on the
Susquehanna. At Williamsport immense
quantities of logs, estimated at 100, 900 feet
per hour, passed down on the flood for sew
eral hours. Part of Lewisburg was flooded,
but in the evening the water receded. A
Lock Haven dispatch states that the Glen
Union gorge got off without damage to
property. The gorge at Wikesbarre moved
out in the afternoon, leaving a clear chan
mel for the passage of the gorge which
broke loose above Owego in the afternoon.
The gorges about Sunbury broke up with
out damage.
The great gorge in the Delaware, above
the Water Gap, commenced moving soon
after noon, and Immediately gorged in the
Water Gap producing great CONSERVATION,
trains were stopped and families commenced
moving. In half an hour the water pres
sure pushed the ice on and confidence was
restored. Immense bodies of ice moved
majestically down the river, and the dan
ger is now over in that direction. The
flood on the Delaware at Easton is very
heavy, the water backed up the Lchigh and
considerable damage was anticipated. The
rivers are all clear at Port JerviS.
The ice in the Grand river, Michigan,
commenced breaking up yesterday. One
wooden and four iron bridges were carried
away at Lansing, involving Il loss of $780,
600.
The eastern and western parts of Coll
lingwood, Canada, are completely flooded,
and the damage to property is very great.

The features Of the new Spring costumes,
for the ladies, so far as they have made
their appearance, are the cuirass, now
called the Genevieve de Brabant waist, the
strait, shirrid fullness, instead of the box
plat Of the trained skirt, and the princess
polonaise, with its long apron front and
basque back, fastened down with bows.
There is novelty also in the shape of a
long scarf of duchess gauze, bordered with
lace, which has taken the place of furs, and
also of the lace scarf of last season, and a
new fan which closes in the form of pts
toll, and is held, when not in use, by slide

After referring to the appointment of a

An outbreak among the miners at

ing. A large number of miners started
simultaneously at Buck Mountain and Eek
ley for a visit to all the mines in the neigh
borhood. They disarmed the special police
from Philadelphia, stationed at Buck Noun
tain, taking from them sixteen guns and
revolvers. The mob then went to the ,Jeddo
Goliery, where policeman King was shot
and slightly wounded, and policeman War
ner and Meyer We're badly beaten with
clubs. At each place they visited the strik-
ers forced the miners to accompany them.
At Mount Pleasant they had parley with

afternoon they paraded through Hazleton,
but after exhortation from Father
