The South and the Recent Debates.


This is the title Of an article in the Wash
iugtoD Star, Journal which, though avowed-
ly republican in its symPailies, is, ucvcrthe-
less, moderate in the discussion Of political
questions. Though rather brief Itself, this eli-
tJrial Of our contemporary may yet be mar
Towed down 70 one question Were the South
grn States benefited or harmed by the late
speeches Of Ncssrs. Hin, Tucker and other rep
resentatiyes from The South The S'aT takes
the negative 10 this controversy, and in an
able article, apparently sho,a Of an political
prejudice, says:
The ability and elcqueUco developed in the
reply of Mr. Hin and 10 a subsequent speech
of SIR. Tucker on the Centennial biil, are Of
Kind fatal 10 the extreme % southern interests.
They bad far better be represented by block
heads 90 wise men Of silence, than such brill
liant, fiery aad needless heroes Of the forum.
And here is where the les
son TO the south should hinge We read
where It's journals are hujius these efforts,
aud the sentiment Is common that at last they
have men 10 the National Councils who can
DO them justice. Alas for our southern friends,
.f they consider such imprisoned defamation
prerequisite 20 the attaiumeu. u Justice
Ouy friends must also remember that the
p5,itica, revolution 90 November, 1874, was
not a victory Of those who wished @ Justify
the south for her acts during the war. sl much
as Of those who doubted the wisdom Of the pol
ley pursued towards her SINCE The war.
From the sentiments Of the northern people
as reelected through their press especially the
independent portion Of tive should Judge
that the south has touched S1me Of the bitter
est chords 10 some Of the frjeudliest hearts it
had To- the north. Il, seems indeed q pity chat
50 easy a lesson should De so hard 90 learn.
Aud yet, o, ,winkliug Star, does ituot seem
hard. aye, unreasonable, that we must sit and
hear our chieitaius 10 the late contest reyilcl
without one word? Perhaps it is owing to
cur temperameut-s'me,Liug which being i1-
heren, cannot be changed that our tiogliuc
blood viii not let US rest under such provoca-
ton. To the words Of the great RichjI.cu-
o, Monk, leave patience TO the Saints

| WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20.-The Joint
resolution for the protection OF the Texas FROM
tier was passed by the House to-day, after the
second section authorizing United States troons
when in full pursuit Of Mexican marauders to
cross the border and punish them in their own
country-had been stricken out. The resolution
as it passed provides for the maintenance OF two
regiments of cavalry OF 1900 men each on
the Texas frontier, beside sufficient Infantry
to garrison the military posts along the Rio
Grnnde. Should the Senate agree to this rcso-
luton the military force On the Mexican border
Of Texas will be considerably increased, and
raiding On Texas cattle ranches will be propor-
tionately more dangerous.
AT the same time, on account Of the peculiar
character Of the country and great extent.
even the force thus provided for will be unable
to entirely prevent the raids. Both the United
States troops and those OF the State OF
Texas hare repeatedly pursued the Mex
fcan thieves to the bank of the river, and
arrived just in time to see then, driving their
cattle out Of the water on the opposite side. On
occasions like this the Mcxicans have been verY
insolent, and have often challenged our soldiers
to cross orer the river and recover the stolen
property. In one or two instances, Capt Nc
Na1ly's company Of Texas troops has crossed
the river and rneted out deserved punishment to
was agreed to will doubtless afford considerable
protection to the citizens OF Texas, and is much
more likely to pass the Senate promptly in its
present form than If the second resolution had
been retained
The majority Of the House evidently thought
that pursuit carried into Mexican territory,
If not an absolute act Of war, would at least TO
unfriendly toward Mexico and humiliating to
the pride of our sister Republic. Tic bill has
been ably managed by Mr.. Sch1ciclicr, although
If he had been little less accommodating, and
insisted on closing the debate several days be-
fore, he might possibly have passed the rcsolu-
tion more nearly in its original form.
