Perishinr from Thirst.

GALVESTON, May "A News special
from Rio Grande City, 9Th, says that Di-
Ak, with his artillery and infantry, owing
to the scarcity of water, has suffered ter
ribly from fatigue and thirst, many of
his men perishing by the roadside. He
has also lost a considerable number by
desertion. He looks to his cavalry be-
tween Cerralvo and MOntery, where he
will rejoin them with reinforcements.
Even with cavalry his advance will be
slow. Water is to be had at long inter-
walls, and there is no forage in the coun-
try, the Government forces having gath
cred all they could find; and unless Diaz
carries forage with him his animals will
starve on the way. DiaZ is still sanguine
of success, and his future operations
against MOntery will be made entirely
with cavalry. lie has had no fight, as
was rumOred.
The Galveston News special from
Brownsville says the News received con-
fi-mation of the Dispatch from Rio
Grande City to-day rs TO the retreat of
the infantry and artillery of Diaz. 1t is
reported that the cavalry force of the
Government troops is advancing toward
Matamoras, from Victoria, to intercept
the retreat. Fortifications around Mata-
moras are being hastily repaired as for a
Seige. Assistance has been asked of the
Mayor of BrazOs for protection of life and
property Of American citizens in Mata-

Col. DUIF's IMPEACHMENT. -Iu the
matter of the impeachment of Col. Dun
ut Memphis, about which we spoke in our
last issue, the following resolution ended
the affair, and was adopted by the strong
vote Of 30 to 3. 1t was introduced by
Col Donovan;
Resolved, That the city Recorder be ae-
Quilted without any criminal intent, as al
legged in charges eight and nine, and that
the Recorder Is entitled to no compensa-
ton except his salary rs fixed by ordi-
nance; and that any fees he may collect,
or has heretofore collected, rs an ex-
otficio Justice of the Peace, be turned
over to the City Treasurer; and all ques-
tions of law be settled by the proper tri-
bunal.
We congratulate Col. Duff upon the
successful issue of his trial and his COM
plcte vindication at the hands of those
who would have ruined his name and
fame. Col. Duff was tried soldier, and
no one who knew his gallant bearing I'm
that struggle, could hear of his impeach-
ment without regret, nor Of his tri-
umphant aequittal without unmixed graf
itication. In the whole affair Col. Duff
has borne himself handsomely, and his
friends on the termination of his trial
trooped around him to tender their con
sratulations.

The vexed question of the currency
has brought about what may be styled
the battle of the coins, and the PROPOSE
ton to make silver one of the standards
of value, has alarmed the bulliOnists,
who have been so anxious to return to a
specie basis. Should the bill before the
Senate, for coming silver dollars and in
creasing their legal tender value become
law, it would be regarded as an infla-
ton measure, and in the interest of the
big Bonanza fellows. 1t Is laughable to
hear ''hard money" advocates call the
bill for the redemption of fractional cur
rency, and the substitution therefor Of
silver, an imitation measure. Wall street
wants gold standard only. She is not
even willing that her rural cousins shall
rattle silver in their purses.

HENRY A. WIsE.-Henry A. Wise, of
Va, has been making one of his charac-
teristic speeches in. the contested case of
Platt VS.. GOode, from the Norfolk dis
trict. Mr.. Wise served his district in
Congress fifteen years consecutiycly, du-
ring the whole of which time he was con-
stantly and conspicuOusly before the
public, participating In all the debates,
and serving upon several of the most i'm
portant committees. He asserted that
politics in Virginia were so much Demo-
cratic that even the pine trees all wept
turpentine. When he was Governor of
Virginia he said he would have hanged
Horace Greedy had he caught him. He
praised Grant as magnanimous hero,
and worthy to receive the sword of Robt.
T.. Lee. The peculiar style of Mr.. Wise
exhausted him and he was asked If he
would take some refreshments, TO which
he replied that he would accept glass of
milk, but wanted neither whisky or
brandy, both of which he abOminated.-
Gen. Wise, it is well known, broke the
backbone of the Know Nothing party
His harrangues were all philippics, and
really the most effective stump speeches
ever made in America. From them
johnson drew his inspiration in his cam
paign against Gentry, and whilst John
son was hesitating, Wise was driving the
hosts of "Sam' before him by his terri
bic inyectiYes. Wise in manner and
makeup is a sort of second edition of
John Randolph, and has much of his &C.
centricity, courage and genius. He is
still Bourbon in politics, and lashes I'M
mercifully the conservatives of Virginia.
His book, entitled the seven Decades of
the Union, which is really defense of
John Tyler's administration, is most
readable -gossipy, plquant
and discursive, yet Astounding in flashes
of wit and eloquence, that commend it to
the scholar and orator. 1t is generous to
jackson, denunciatory of Clay, and most
laudatory of Webster, whom he praises
rs a political demigod.
Gen. Wise married a iss Jennings, of
Nashville, daughter of the Presbyte-
rian minister, at whose church Jackson
attended, and he spent his honey moon
at the Hermitage, at the special request
of the illustrious hero and his estimable
wife. His portraiture of Mrs. Jackson,
and the domestic happiness which aboun-
ded at the Hermitage, constitute delight
full topics In Gov. Wise's book.

JACKSON:


IT Is VERY SAD.-If the credit MObiler
fraud be investigated, and the names of
Congressman implicated in il be given
over, one by one, it will be found that
it was the old and not the Rs,0 members of
Congress who befouled their nests,
and who shared the dividends. Take any
other vicious measure that ever passed
Congress and it will be found that il was
concocted and put through by the ancient
oflice-holders, whe had become spoiled
by their long tenure of office, and be1iev-
ed that they held it as kings do, by =
divine right. Offices in this country are
not estate life, and are not perpetui-
ties. New nIe=sire on their good behaviour
and it is only when they "have learned
the ropes7 that they become dangerous
public servants. What some people de-
nominate as craftsmanship is only the
moves ofshrewd congressman in one di-
rection, while they flush and bag the
game in another. Ben Butler was a vet
eran oflice-holder and he originated the
back salary-grab, and Schuyler COlfax,
of Indiana, and Brooks, of New York,
were old stagers on the Congressional
floor, and yet they were guilty of the
Credit Mobilier steal. 1t was proven on
both of them and both lied about it. A
great many men were very certain that
if COlfax was not returned in his district
the county and especially the Republican
party would be demolished forever
Brooks was the leader Of the Democracy
in the lower House and his defeat was to
assure eternal ruin. Both these "chris-
tian Statesmen" however were retired
Colfax smiles obscurely in his rural home
aud poor Brooks died Of a broken heart,
and yet both parties are fourishing with
more than preistine vigor. 1t Is not safe
to shout too many hosannas to living
statesmen.
when man died in the old days of
Whiggery, with copy of the National
Intelligencer In his pocket, 1t was pretty
good evidence that he was gentleman,
and a seat I'm Congress once avouched for
the respectabillty of the party who filed
1t, but people who think for themselves
now require other evidences Of purity in
the office-holder, besides the mere pos
session of the place. They want to know
how he procured it? Did he buy votes
and prostitute voters? Did he suborn
the press, and through it mislead the
people, and confuse them in their choice?
In short did ne wait for the office to come
To him like statesman should, some
what Ike that agricultural gentleman
styled Cincinnatus, or did he resort to
the usual tricks in trade? Did he play
the harlequin and the buffoon on the hus-
tfngs, or did lie do like Caesar, ''thrice re-
fuse the kingly CROWN" which the peo-
pie, without solicitation, awarded him ?
Craftsmanship, we assure the people, is a
very rare virtue these days. There are
great many men, who like old Bill Al
len, can sound the fOghorn, and yet are
not 10 be classed as saviors of their coun-
try. We like lungs, but then buffalo
bull may have a serviceable pair on his
native heath, that ought not to be infla-
ted in Congress. These are sad thoughts,
but we trust all man worshippers will be
able to furnish the requisite bandana TO
stay their lachrymose weepings.

nnm Pedrn IN washington

WAsHINGToN, May THE Brazilian
Emperor arrived here this morning, and
after attending st. Matthew Church, in
company with his staff and Brazilian
Minister, Chevalier Borges, he visited
the Capitol. Sergeant-at-Arms French
escorted the visitors through every part
Of the building except the Supreme
Court room and the Congressional Libra
ny. The statuary and paintings were
closely inspected, Dom Pedro showing
by his conversation that he had read the
guide books. He recognized franklin
and Washington, spoke in terms of admi-
ration Of Schaffer's portrait Of Lafayette,
and then wondered where the portraits
of Webster and Calhoun were, that OF
Clay alone being hung in Statuary Hall.
With IincOln's likeness he was familiar,
and with the different busts, paintings,
and statues Of Washington; but amid
these historical Communications, in spite
of the architectural attractions, the En-
peror regretted that he could not see the
impeachment trial, get glimpse at Belk-
nap, and look at the impeachment mana
gers. ...

Joe Goss said 10 reporter yesterday
that he came TO this country expressly 90
fight Tom Allen, but did not know, until
he saw it i'm print, that a match had been
made. He said that Allen authorized
William Allen, of Cincinnati, TO make a
match. Allen met John Brown, of the
same city, an ardent admirer of Goss, and
put up a forfeit of $500, which Brown i'm
mediately covered, Eph. Holland, of Gin
cinnati, being chosen stakeholder. Upon
hearing this, GOss sent word to his back

When d. NJ. Key was appointed to the
United States Senate by Gov. Porter, he
was interviewed by 4 reporter of some
paper, and in that interview it was dis
covered that Key was nOta ''soft money!
man, whereupon Key was read out of the
party, and soundly berated for his de-
parture from its ancient traditions. Now
Tiiden is unblushingly advocated by
these same politicians, and is heraIded as
the hardest of the hards, y and pre-emi-
nently sound on the financial issue. In
justice to Senator Key, those who have
abused him ought to apologize and plead
guilty TO having slandered him. Key
seems TO have some common sense, even
if he does hail from East Tennessee.

Since Ben Hill overwhelmed Blaine in the
Congressional debate, we have ceased to
hear of the 'Andersonville atrocities, and
the good effet of the speech Of Hill is now
visible puon the public mind He fixed
the responsibility of a refusal to exchange
prisoners upon the North, and there it
will remain through all time. History
has been indicated and the charge of
cruelty against Southern soldiers and
generals has been answered by the great
son of Georgia. Hill has been roundIy
abused for his course in Congress, but he
was wiser, it seems, than those who de-
nounced him.

For TILDEN.-~ Memphis Appeal in
n two column editorial, written with care
and power, comes out squarely for Sam
Tilden as the choice of the democratic
party for the Presidency. Tilden stock
seems to be looming up in this section.
but much depends upon the action of the
Republican convention. We must so act
as to defeat its nominee, and besides the
two thirds rule may kill of Tilden as it
has other great lights in the political
heavens. The friends of Mr.. Tflden are
jubilant, but he is not yet nominated and
the currency question is not yet settled.
