EASTERN DISPATCHES
Mexican AR.irs.

Lerdo and the death OF EScobedo. j
the capture of the City Of Mexico by
General Diaz. Iglesias from Leon
ordered Diaz to hold the City Of Mexl-
co, and proclaim the Presidency Of
Iglesias, which Diaz declined to do
unless he could name four members of
the Cabinet. This was refused by
Iglesias when Diaz proclaimed hims.l If
provisional President; and the revolu
ton now continues between the rival
pretenders. who are preparing for
new struggle. Reoueltas still holds
Matamoras and refuses all communi.
cation with the revolutionary chiefs
until some one of them can show prop
er authority from Iglesias to demand
the place; and he positively refuses
any communication with the bandit
Cortena. His soldiery conduct would
make him many friends, but for the
fact that he is proceeding to collect a
tax of three per cent. on merchants,
which they protest is unlawful.
Death Of General Bartlett.
SPRINGFIELD. Dec. Is, 1876.
Gen. w. f. Bartlett, died at Pitts
field at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
Ben Hills Position.
New YORK. Dec. II.
The Worlds Washington special
says Ben Hill declines to be interviewed
but it is understood that he has been
misrepresented. that he believes in
Tilden and wants his inauguration. AS
between q peaceful inauguration of
Hayes and the forcible usurpation of
Grant he prefers, as he said III a recent
interview, the former. But MS between
Tilden and Hayes he says his sympa-
thies as Sontherner aud Democrat
are uncompromisipgly with the former,
whose election he prefers and
believes has been accomplished,
though upon this and all other ques-
tons germane to it he proposes to sus.
pend judgment. His purpose is shared
by every Southern member.
The 22d Joint Rule.
The Tribune's Washington special
says it is doubtful if Speaker Randall
it sustained in his position that the 22d
Joint Rule is still in force, even by
members of his own party. Many Re
publican leaders agree with the Demo-
Gratis that any rule which requires for
it's passage the consent of both Houses
cannot be annulled when the consent
of one of the Houses is withheld
Nothing Accomplished.
The Times Columbia special says
the House Investigating Committee,
last night, concluded their efforts
to discover flaw in the precinct re
turns which should change the Eec.
toral vote as declared by the State
Board of Canvassers. They utterly
failed to accomplish anything in that
line of investigation. although the wit
nesses examined were called in the in.
terest of the Democrats.
The Readoption of the 22d Joint
Rule.
New YORK, Dec. IS. 1876.
Speaking of the joint-convention of
both Houses the Worlds Washington
special says the current of opinion
leads to the belief that the readoption
Of the 22d joint-rule will be asserted as
the basis of the Democratic negotia-
tions. 1t would be premature to say
that this has received the formal assent
of all; but it is unquestionably consid-
cred by the larger part of those quail
fed to define the policy of the party as
the most tenabIs ground which can be
taken in dealing with the Senate.
The extreme ground taken by Randall
that it has never been abrogated does
not meet with much favor.
