CHICAGO, July 2.-Advices received by
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan from Brownsville
Texas, this a. m, indicate critical state OF
affairs at Matamoras, and a conflict to-day
between the citizens and Mexican soldiers is
imminent. All business houses IN Mata-
moras are closed, and armed citizens are
gathering, threatening to take Cortina from
the soldiers, who, the vice-consul thinks are
not strong enough TO prevent the rescue.

The Sun says: Mr.. Beach has inIimated
that next week there will be a more earnest
effort made TO get at the bottom OF the Load
err Price conspiracy. He told Sherman on
Wednesday that he would be called on to
testify as to his connection with the case. II
was asserted last night that John ID. Town
send, OF New York, would appear TO defend
Loader next week. There was a report cur
rent yesterday that Francis ID. Moulton was
to be arrested on charges growing out of the
developments in the Loader-Price perjury
case. Inquiry being made of Colonel Henry
Barton Beecher as to the t0uth or falsity of
the report he referred the inquirer to Law
yer Sherman. The latter merely said,
"Moulton is not i'm Brooklyn to be arrested.
He is consult ng with Gen. Butler" VIE
asked If MoultOn was to be arrested, Shear
man said that the question was one he could
not answer.

WHY TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA ARE
New York World, July 10,

-NNW ANAh "N@ANtf - ~ 49,
In Texas and California, to most In
tents and purposes, the legal tender
act is a dead letter; a dollar IS a dollar,
and an unfulflled promise of a dollar
is mere deprecated paper. 1t is re-
markable that these States have suffer
ed less from the panic and, with one
or two possible exceptions, are imam
cialy in better plight than any other
States IN the Union. In population,
wealth and industry Texas Is probably
growing at a more rapid pace than any
other State, partly because its people
are among the most energetic and
progressive IN America, mainly be.
cause the foundations of its business
and industry are laid upon the IN
failing basis Of gold and silver money.
California, being older in development
than Texas, Is probably making less
rapid progress; but its thrift and &C
cumulati0ns, uninterrupted by losses
from panics and shifting values, fairly
entitle it to be pronounced the most
solidly prosperous State. The deposits
in its savings banks alone are stated at
nearly SO, 100000, belonging to about
1900 depositors, and making an aver
age Of more than $500 for each de-
pOsitor. In laying up these savings,
the thrifty people of California have,
in the average, probably done no bet
ter than thrifty people on the Eastern
seaboard. The moral of the story Is,
that the savers in hard money Callfor-
MIA have kept their savings while the
savers in the paper-money, panic swept
East have been compelled to eat up
their savings in default of wages.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says that
the meeting of the Ohio Democratic
State Central Committee at Columbus
last week gave promise of thorough
organization, Of a vigorous and aggres.
sive canvass and of victory. 1t was
decided that Gen. Thomas Ewing and
Gen. S. F. Cary should speak at Marion,
Lawrence county, on the oath inst. An
early utterance from him seeming to
be generally desired, the committee
Will probably request Mr.. Pendleton to
speak in some considerable town about
the Goth or 22d inst. Senator Thur
man announced to the committee that
he would be at their service some time
in August, private affairs making it
impossible for him to enter the canvass
earlier. There was great good feeling,
and a buoyant confidence in coming
success evident among the leading
Democrats of the State who were
present.

The editor of the Iron World, pub
lished at Pittsburg, who has lately
made a trip through the Southern
States, gives the following as one Of
the results Of his observations:
Much has been published concerning
the low price at which pig iron can be
made IN the South. The frequent con-
tiguity Of the various ores, coal and
limestone, generally all of excellent
quality, is the reason for asserting that
It can be made there cheaper than else
where. Most persons in the Northern
States. who have seen these figures
giving the cost of iron making in the
South, have doubted the statements,
but we believe, after a somewhat ex-
haustive examination Of the subject,
that in either Of the three States
Tennessee, Georgia Or Alabama-plg
iron can be made from SIX to nine dol
lars cheaper than IN the most favored
localities Of the more prominent IRON
producing States.

THE general tax law passed by the
New Jersey Legislature in 1873. pro-
viding for the taxation of railroad
property, was resisted by the Morris
and Essex Railroad Company. The
latter took the case before the Supreme
Court at Trenton on certiorari, and at
the June term Of the same year the
court decided the law to be constitu'
tionaL. From this decision the com.
pany appealed to the Court of Errors
and Appeals, and at the term just closed
an opinion was read affirming the jIdg.
ment Of the lower court. The de-
cision is an important one, and the
companies that have awaited the man
date Of the court Of last resort viii
now have to pay up.

THE FUTURE or THE SOUTH.

An esteemed friend In Alabama, for
merly Governor of that State, and one
of the best she ever had, writing to US
from Montgomery says: Had the
Radical majority IN Congress allowed
us to 90 on and attend to our various
business interests in peace, just at the
close Of our late war, we would at this
time possess the wealthiest section of
country in the world; and less than ten
years hence of peace will prove the as
sertion. The writer is rejoiced at the
friendly meeting IN Boston and other
Northern cities Of our people. The
strength Of the South lies principally
in its products, and with good seasons
we can supply the world. Since the
victories of last fall, people from every
section Of the United States are looking
to this sunny land for the certain re-
ward which awaits their efforts, and
they are beginning to come in greater
numbers than ever before. The pros
poets for large crops Of every descrip-
ton are splendid. With our fertile
soil, grand seasons and labor as rel .
bic as that Of the past year, the South
Will always have plenty and to spare.

IT HAS been frequently objected
that the present mode of quoting
greenbaeks as dollars is misleading,
and fails to carry the idea Of their
real value as measured by the gold
standard. Bat so long as the legal
tender act remains law or as long as
paper money constitutes the chief cur
rency it is probable that the present
system must continue. In California
where coin is current, a dollar means
Just 100 cents, and greenbacks are
quoted at discount. This is a much
more sensible method than the one IN
general use. The following table fur
nished by a correspondent of the
United States Economist shows the
correct relation of values as determined
by the average quotations last week:
