Gently captured q party of two white men
and one white woman, disguised as Indians,

cussion of the suffrage question:
The grave question to be settled with
much cost is, "What is to be done to get rid
of the negro as q vOter?" Sooner or later,
with more or less dispatch, he will be dis
franchised and thrust out of politics. White
men of all parties and Of every grade Of
religious and moral conviction may as well
come quickly to the consideration how to
get the negro out of politics with the least
confusion and cost. He must go, and there
is no profit in standing long upon the order
of his going. The question OF suffrage be-
longs to the States respectively. When the
re0rganized Democracy IN 1876 60 into Of
fee each State will be allowed to settle this
and all other social and domestic issues for
itself and in its own way. without any in
reference from the general government.
Then, and not till then, can we begin the
work of resetting our shattered political
and our demoralized social institutions
upon correct foundation.

MONROE, August 3l.-The sheriff and
posse returned from the pursuit of the muir

tracks Of his horse about three miles, and

ever to the murderer. 1t is generally be-

EXCITING NEWS FROM THE BORDER
Matamoras Invested by Reyoluti0nist>
IMPORTANT BATTLE FOUGHT

The following highly important informa
ton is contained in special dispatch from
Brownsville, dated August 90, which ap-
peared in the Galveston News of Wednes-
day:
Considerable surprise was manifested
along the river last week when 1t was re-
ported that the revoluticnists had quie tly
evacuated New Laredo and other points,
but to-day brings the reason.
Learning that the government forces,
which had been concentrating at Monterey,
were about starting for the frontier, as be.
fore telegraphed you, the revolutionist
Generals maze concentration of all their
forces, which, combined, numbered over
1900, under the command of NaraDjO,
Trevino and Estrada, and waited near Bar
ancO rancho.
Quiroga and Palacios, commanding the
government forces, arrived near there Sun
day night, and yesterday morning about
completely routed them, with loss OF over
200 killed and wounded, among whom is
General Quiroga, and over 300 prisoners.
The revolutiOnist loss is estimated to be
nearly 200.
This may compel the government forces
to recede from the river, as Diaz is reported
to have q large and we'll provided body OF
men in the interior, and has cut off ali com
municatiOn with the City of Mexico, except
via Vera Cruz.
Matamoras is still closely guarded by the
revolutionists. The necessities of life for
beast and man have to be imported there
from this side. COrtina has his head
quarters about three miles above the city,
while another large force of Canales' men is
six miles below. All roads and means of
communication are closely guarded. Great
suffering exists among the poorer classes,
with no way to relieve them.
Sunday morning there was q slight ekir-
mish outside of the Notifications. but, as
usual, no one was hurt. Were it not for
fear of United States interference, the gov.
ernment troops would have been driven
out long ago.
Seven Mexican soldiers, going up the
river, jumped from the steamer Scott yes
terday and swan over to this side. The
soldiers are constantly deserving in squads
Business is totally paraly zed, and pros
take q number of years to overcome the
effects of the present distinctions.

New Laredo was evacuated by the revo
lutionists August ~, who moved out tG

to await the government forces under Gen
eral QulrOga.
