DEFEAT OF GENERAL ESCOBEDO
THE REyOLUTIONISTS ARMING
A GRAND MOVEMENT IN THE INTEREST
OF P0RFlRIO DIAz.
United States Troops Moving to
the Front.
Especial to the New Orleans Republican.

BROWNSVILLE, January 81 1876.
Matters across the Rio are beginning to
look very serious for the Lerdo govern :
ment.
The news Of the defeat of General Es-
cobedo by the revolutionists of Michoacan
has been received from Saltillo.
There is no doubt cooperative move
ment in the interest of Porfrio Diaz, ex =
tending through 1>D Luis, Durango, Goa
hula, Tamaulipas and Nueva Leon.
In all of these States the revolutionists
are arming, and Diaz, who has been wait
ing at Laredo is receiving hourly inte l.
ligence OF the movements of his friends.
1t is believed the revolution will be gen.
eral. Several Southern States will, it is said
pronounce for Diaz soon as he takes the
field in opposition to the Lerdo govern
ment.
The defeat of Escobedo is a severe blow
to the government. He holds the rank in
the Mexican army that Sherman does in
yours.
Three companies Of infantry have been
ordered here from Fort Sill. and three
companies of cavalry under Colonel Devin
have already left Fort Clark for this point t
PEDRO.

It Was the Custom.

The little difficulty in the Democratic
caucus over the extra compensation re-
ceived by two leading lawyers, as chair
men Of committees. seems to have been ad-
justed. The pay, mileage and all compen-
sation, at the utmost stretch Of the law, for
an ordinary member Of the House, was
about two-thirds of what was drawn. But,
as it is said it has been the custom since
1852 for cha;rmen Of these committees to
draw SIG for each day Of the session, and
tor ten days after, the caucus concluded to
overlook tie matter for this once.

Third Term Democracy.

The following extract from the New
Hampshire Gazette Of January III, 1904,
shows the views Of the Portsmouth Jettes-
sonian Democrats of that day relative to
third term: 1--WE believe the love, the re-
spect, the gratitude of the people OF the
United States toward Mr.. Jefferson Will
secure his reelection, as often as he VIII
accept it. provided he pursues the same
line Of conduct as heretofore" The third
term was not a very great bugbear to the
Democrats of 1904, provided the right man
was elected. Would it be to the Democrats
of 1876, under like circumstancesf-P0rts-
mouth lNew Hampshire) Chronicle.
