condition of affairs on the Rio Grande
has repeatedly been brought to the atten-
ton of the President and members of his
Cabinet. not only by Representatives from
Texas, but by General Ord, who is in
command of the troops there, and the
administration has at length concluded
that the time has come when some decid-
ed and pronounced policy must be adopt
ed and the Mexican government made to
understand that this state of affairs which
has SO long existed, can not be forever
continued. General Ord, it is understood,
has on more than one occasion requested
that he be authorized, when in pursuit of
the Mexican thieves, to cross the border
and punish them on their own soil if he
is able to capture them with the booty in
their possession.
This plan was adopted by the Texas
State troops under the command Of Cap
tain McNelly, whose small company of
men has probably done more than the
United States troops during the last year
or two to protect that border. This subject
was fully considered in the meeting of
the Cabinet to-day, and it was decided
that Secretary Evarts shall at once COM
muDicate with the Mexican government,
through our representative in the City OF
Mexico, and demand of it that these out
RACES cease at once. The Mexican minis
ter to the United States is representative
Of the Lerdo government. The theory on
which this demand will be based is that
if the government is unable to prevent
the raids, it certainly is able to break up
the traffic in stolen property on Mexican
soil, and failure to undertake this will
be considered by the government of the
United States as indicative of an indispo-
sition on the part Of that government to
do what lies in its power to prevent con-
tinuance of these outrages. 1t is under
stood that the Cabinet also directed
Secretary Evarts to inform our min
lister to Mexico that if the govern
ment of that republic does not
take such measures as are suggested
promptly, the United States will be COM
PEELED to protect the lives and property of
its citizens in its own way. There is every
indication Of an important change of pol
icy toward Mexico, and disposition on
the part of the administration to make
the Mexican government understand that
it must observe its international duties,
or the United States government will take
matters into its own hands.
The Mexican border troubles were the
ss"NJS"c "a uAeSussA"A az tho CanAhou AoeG
ing to-day, and it was agreed that organ
lied cattle stealing and other depreda-
tons upon property in Texas, of Ameri-
can citizens, mast be effectually stopped
without further delay or inattention on
the part Of the Mexican authorities. Cor
respondence with the Mexican govern
ment will be Immediately reopened by
the State Department. Unless the proper
steps be promptly taken by Mexico to pre-
vent further incursions upon our territory
by bodies of her citizens, our military
forces under General Ord will probably
be authorized to cross the Rio Grande to
pursue and capture the marauders.

MAJ Cnrner-hnrnnr.

Judge Henry Martin Spofford, recently
elected Senator from Louisiana by the
Nichols Legislature, is not earpet-bag-
ger, though he was born in Massaehu-
sets and educated there; for though a
Yankee, he was never a Republican OF
Unionist, having been a Democrat and
secessionist before and dnring the war,
and Democrat and opponent Of the re.
construction measures since the war; II
is glazing injustice to stigmatize as o
carpet-bagger gentleman with so honor
able o record as this, even if he was born
in New England, and is now some kind
of sSenator-elect from Louisiana. - Ports

The South CarOIipR Ruilans Must Stand

A strong effort has been made to dis
continue the actions in the United States
Circuit Court against the parties engaged
in the Edgfeld and Barnwell county riots
preceding the presidential election, but il
appears to be no part of the policy OF con-
citation to extend immunity to disturbers
of the peace. The grand jury has found
bills against nearly two hundred men, and
the district attorney is confident of the
conviction of large part of them. The
Hamburg case is now under considera,

The City Council has adopted the rules
of the Metropolitan Police Board $50 far
as they do not conflict" There is one
rule that policemen should have thor
oughly ground into them, and that is the
one that they are to pay no attention to
remarks, insults, ETC., addressed partieu-
larly to them. They appear entirely in
an official, and not personal capacity,
and as such are no more the corpus de-
hcti in an aggravated case of murder of q
reputation by the crime of oral insult and
abuse than a railroad corporation. If
green policemen knew this rule better
they would have fewer wars of words with
loose women and rowdy loafers.

man named Sears now in Austin, he having
recently arrived here, who can talk the
Chinese language as fuently as a born China
man. His services were called into requl-
sition in the opinion case yesterday, and he
ratified off the Chinese as glbly as the rest Of
US can talk English. He is nephew OF
Captain Hunt, of Reese River valley, was
born in Oregon and raised in San Francisco,
in which latter place he acquired the Chinese
language He is the sensation Of the hour
among the Chinese population, and they are
clamerous for him to open school for the
instruct on OF Chinese in the English language
He is thoroughly posted in Chinese manners
and custom, and the celestials look upon
him as almost one of themselves; in fact, they
refuse to believe that he is of white parentage
on both sides. and insist that either his father
or his mother must have been Chinese. He
is apparently a young man OF considerable
intelligence and his conversation in regard to
Chinese manners, customs and habits is quite
interesting. R. 4. Rsuellle.
