THE CITY ELECTION.

"
The city election passed off quietly
Tuesday, with no special features OF
interest except an unusual display OF
energy md enthusiasm by the friends
of the various candidates. There were
no questions of political Significance
involved In the issue, aud hence the
contest was devoid of that bitter preju-
dice and personal i'll feeling which
smost usually characterizes a political
campaign. 3agf4a
The entire board of city officers, ex-
cept aid ermen, were reelected, com
plimeut ofwhich they may Justly feel
proud, inasmuch as their opponents
were gentlemen known and esteemed
throughout the city for their personal
worth and fitness for the Office to
which they aspircd.
OF course. it is impossible to foretell
the future policy Of his lionor's admin
,istration, but it Is to be hoped that the
4ilrst step will be toward looking into
the financial condition of the city
correcting abuses, where they may be
found, end reetifyiDg errors wherever
discovered. And The HERALD feels
assured that In this duty he will have
the inaterial aid and support OF the
wisest council that Dallas has yet been
fortunate enough to secure, besides the
moral aid and support of the entire
community. tfem

Mexican Marauders.
lChlcago Inter-Ocean.1

One of the morning jou nails in this
city yesterday, published special dis
patch from Washington, asserting, ON
the authority of man pretending to
have lived a long time in the country
lying between the Rio Grande and the
Nueces, that the massacre at Nueces
was committed by Texan bandits, and
not by MeXicans. The reasons given
for this view of the case were that the
town of Nueces, is one hundred miles
distant from the Rio Grande that the
United States military posts, while
garrisoned, occupy the eastern bank of
that river ; that Mexican raiders could
not penetrate so far into Texas with
out being surrounded by the military;
and that Mexicans would not be so
rash as to venture one hundred miles
into the state of Texas, with United
States troops in their rear. The cor
respondent sending these statements
says this evidence comedies with the
theory of some of the officials of the
state department. Let us see how
much these gentlemen know of what
they talk!
The tract of land lying between the
Nueces and the Rio Grande comprises
ton the lower Rio Grande) the coun-
ties of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, Webb,
LaSalle, Encinal, Duval, Zapata, Live
Oak, McMullen and Nueces. belt
three hundred miles long, and from
one to two hundred miles in width.
Between the two rivers named above
there is sandy desert, which was
formerly regarded as II barrier against
thieves and outlaws from Mexican ter
ritory. Within a few years, however,
formidable bodies Of Mexican maraud-
ers have dissipated whatever conf
dence the Texan settlers had in their
security. The tract which we have de-
scribed embraces one of the richest
pasture lands IN Texa. The ASSESS
ment roll OF 1870 showed an ownership |
In the counties named of 209, 1873 cattle |
and 70, 593 horses. The unfenced stock |
ranges OF this region are covered by

The influence of the "northersu cattle

comparatively few in number, sepa-
ated by long distances, and against
